Given the chart success of their Grammy-winning country single "Who Says You Can't Go Home," it's no surprise Bon Jovi upped the ante by recording an entire album paying homage to Nashville. In some ways, it's amazing they didn't do this sooner, given the way Keith Urban in particular is blurring country-pop lines, much as Garth Brooks and others did in the 1990s. To their credit, you won't find predictably shallow invocations of past country icons or any self-conscious, in-your-face down-home twang added strictly to remind the listener of the musical premise. In fact, Lost Highway isn't "Bon Jovi goes country" so much as a meaningful tribute to the Nashville ethos done on their own terms. They honor the spirit of the town through 12 simple, direct originals. The intimate, smoldering "(You Want To) Make a Memory," the ballad "Seat Next To You," "Lost Highway" and its roaring celebration of freedom, and "Stranger," an effective duet with LeAnn Rimes, all invoke country's spirit, and "I Love This Town," an eloquent nod to Nashville itself, ties it together admirably. --Rich Kienzle

Album Description

"Artistic freedom made this record possible," says Jon Bon Jovi. "Musical freedom to explore--and emotional freedom to express what was in our hearts."

The result of that freedom is Lost Highway, an album Jon describes as "a Bon Jovi record influenced by Nashville."

Bon Jovi explains. "Nashville is all about songs and songwriters. If you're someone like me who loves songs and hanging out with songwriters, Nashville is the place. I thrive on that feeling and I'm inspired by that creative ambience."

The result, a haunting set of 12 new and original sounding songs, is a stunning, multi-layered look into the nature of love and life in all its glory. Love, like life, is lost, found, forgotten and reclaimed in this collection.

The moods are many, but the core feeling is pure Bon Jovi.

"Writing this record with Jon was deeply cathartic," says Richie Sambora, who collaborated on ten of the songs. "I was going through emotional changes that were new for me. An ailing father. A painful divorce. The start of a new chapter in my life. I poured everything I had into this project, every last bit of soul at my command."

"For over twenty years now," Jon explains, "Richie and I have been close collaborators. Even when our songs create fictional stories, they reveal our states of mind. To a large degree, Lost Highway focuses on the light that love brings. When you shine the light on love, you see the chinks in the armor. You see every crevice, every crack. And that's all right".

Lost Highway is Bon Jovi's tenth studio album since the band formed in the early eighties. One hundred and twenty million albums and 2500 concerts in over 50 countries later, Bon Jovi is enjoying the greatest popularity in their history.

I love Bon Jovi, this cd is just another extension of their fabulous talent and view of music. It's like listening to the stories the guys would tell their families. Great buy!

Lost Highway- Bon Jovi.......2007-08-01

Every song on this cd sounds the same. It's a waste of time and money.

Multiple Layers of Sound He Created.......2007-08-01

There's one thing I want to say, so I'll be brave. Basically, I don't know how many times I kept on trying and kept on failing and failing and trying and failing in order to make certain dream come true. Sometimes it's better to sink than to swim. Thankfully, Bon Jovi doesn't subscribe to this advice. I was once told in confidence that he does, but this propitious slab proves that his artistic compass could indeed see land. Tracks like "Vanishing Horse" and "Ditching a Plane For Cat Food" are the immediate standouts, highlighting Bon's enthusiasm for the novelty hits of yesteryear. But "jack'round" music is not the only boring part here. Bon begins to put all his eggs in the most fearsome basket of all by track 3, the thunderous and ivy-covered "False Hope." I thought that was the most awesome song there was at the time. It is an anti-Irish diatribe in the spirit of "Firecrotch" from his 1976 masterpiece "Pussy Heaven," but this time the unsuspecting targets are Chinese railroad workers of the late 1800's. Heartfelt verses give way to the rousing, chanted chorus of "go home or effing die!" Over and over. Yeah. Sometimes I hear a CD and I think that nothing could ever be as good as this. Well, that's what I thought about this one. "Final Approach" is the best song. It's a heavy rocker in the spirit of Century or Robust Rufus, and probably the most emotionally-healthy breakup song I've heard to date. And I've heard a lot of emotionally-healthy breakup songs. I assume this was written to deal with the death and Co-dine overdose of Bon's second wife, Marie, in August. I was made to understand that he was so excited by her magnetism and the intensity of her speech methods, but especially by the power of the images she was capturing in her "beat poetry." Then the whole damn thing basically all goes downhill from there. Awesome record, though. The only thing that offended me about this slab was all the thinly-veiled jabs at the mentally retarded population. Hitler was NOT right, Bon! LOL Oh, well.

Bon Jovi has done it again........2007-07-30

Wasn't sure how I'd like this CD, but after seeing Bon Jovi sing some of the songs on TV I ordered it. I was very pleasantly surprised. I like most of the songs on the CD. The quality of the CD is excellent. The duet between Jon Bon Jovi and Leann Rimes is amazing and is now one of my favorite songs.

Don't label, just listen and enjoy.......2007-07-29

I loved it; vocals and instrumentals were strong. My personal favorite is "One Step Closer", but I loved all the tracks. If Bon Jovi is selling out, then I am going with them!

Easy Tiger, Ryan Adams's ninth solo studio album, is a return to form in every way. He's already shown that he can bash out three albums in one year--not to mention the hilarious fake hip-hop records posted for free on his Web site--and that he can sound as much like the Grateful Dead as he wants to in his constant subsequent touring. Backed once again by the Cardinals, Adams synthesizes and refines his approach to smooth, gorgeous country-pop. "Tears of Gold" is one of the best songs he's written in ages, while "Two" is a slowly percolating, sweet little number that recalls Sean Hayes in its soulful folksiness (someone named Sheryl Crow accompanies Adams on vocals). One of the greatest treats of this languorous, twangy album is the subtle ways that genre gets played with. "I Taught Myself How to Grow Old" is the best Harvest outtake Neil Young never wrote, while the treated, synth-sounding guitar solo on the druggy, chooglin' "Halloweenhead" sounds like it comes straight out of Journey. And "The Sun Also Sets" sounds more than a little like Rufus Wainwright covering Fred McDowell's "Write Me a Few of Your Lines." It bursts with enough melodrama as to border on musical theater. But, as is clear on these songs of love and loss, Adams has always been at his best when giving into his most mellow, dramatic side. --Mike McGonigal

Album Description

I think there are really only two kinds of pop music CDs these days. There are the ones you listen to only once or twice, maybe downloading the single good song to your iPod or computer; then there are others that grow stronger, sweeter, and more necessary each time you play them. Gold was that way; Cold Roses was that way; so was Jacksonville City Nights. I won't say Adams is the best North American singer-songwriter since Neil Young...but I won't say he isn't, either. What I know is there has never been a Ryan Adams record quite as strong and together as Easy Tiger; it's got enough blue-eyed, blue-steel soul (with the faintest country tinge) to make me think of both Marvin Gaye and the Righteous Brothers. Probably ridiculous, but true. And the songs themselves are beautiful--the lyrics tightly focused and brief, the feeling one of melancholy calm that will probably be a revelation to fans that remember the old, sometimes angry Ryan Adams.

Now there's this, maybe the best Ryan Adams CD ever. And I know you want to listen to it right away. But slow down. Take your time. This album asks for that, and it will reward your full attention.

In other words--easy, Tiger.

--Stephen King

Customer Reviews:

I Love Christina Aguilera!.......2007-08-01

Every Christina Aguilera record is an event to behold, and this one is no different!!

I must say, Its wonderful when a pop singer like Christina branches out and tries her hand at Country Music - in fact, she is so good here that its impossible to fault her rock-country bent of mind!

Yes, the album is called "Easy Tiger" which really plainly explains Christina's fascination with the dichotomy and hegemony of the Catholic Church, all told through the eyes of a Southern American Baptist! This insightful theological approach will appeal to the zillions of Aguilera fans in various populated nations of the world (Guam, Russia, etc).

I say - throw the woman a bone! Its obvious shes trying hard, and her music is getting better.

Yes, she does look manly on the cover but is that any reason to hate anybody? Bigot!

Five Stars. Old Chrissie has never sounded better. Waiting for Volume Two.

3.5 Stars... Average Ryan Adams album (which is still better than most others').......2007-07-28

It's been uncharacteristically quiet for a long time around Ryan Adams, after he released not one, not two, but THREE albums in 2005. Since then he has posted a lot of one-off, goofy musical ramblings on his website, but here finally comes the new album.

In "Easy Tiger", Ryan blazes through 13 songs in a mere 39 min., another departure from his usual musical outings. The musical direction on this album is a mix between the country twangy-oriented sound he offered on "Jacksonville City Nights", one of those 2005 albums, and the more straight-forward alt-country sound from earlier albums (including when he was still in Whiskeytown). Personally, I don't care for the flat-out country songs such as opener "Goodnight Rose" and "Tears of Gold", the latter of which certain people are calling one of his best tunes ever, but I simply don't hear it. Much better are "Two", first single "Everybody Knows", and the hard charging "Halloween Head". Other highlights for me include "Off Broadway" and the last 2 tracks, "These Girls", just Ryan and his guitar, and "I Taught Myself How to Grow Old', perhaps the finest song on here, certainly lyrically.

This is not a bad album, certainly compared to 90% or more of the crap that is played on mainstream commercial radio, but by Ryan's standards, "Easy Tiger" is pretty unremarkable. Ask yourself: how many songs do you find humming to yourself after you've played this album a few times? Such is life when you live in the LONG shadows of "Heartbreaker" and Gold", the perfect albums from 2000 and 2001 that will continue to define Ryan's place in the history of music.

Good.......2007-07-27

Its hard to dislike a Ryan Adams album because frankly he is an amazing song writer and musician. However this album is really no more than I expected. That's not a bad thing. This album reflects upon Ryan's different styles with rockers such and Halloween Head. Twangy country tunes like Tears of Gold, folky numbers like Pearls on a String.

The only song I don't love is is Two, just personal taste.

If you like Ryan or maybe just don't know where to start this a good album for any listener.

This country's best songwriter.......2007-07-26

Stephen King was right. Ryno keeps up the good work with his latest album. As many have already stated, it is best described as a combination of many of his past albums and styles. Nonetheless it is a collection of great, well written, heartfelt songs that sound great and grow on you with each listen as all his songs do.

Very cool album.......2007-07-25

All I had to do before I made my mind up to buy this album was to sample one or two tracks. Ryan Adam's 9th album was actually my introduction to his music. It's only once in a while you come across an artist like this and I look forward to discovering his back catalogue.

Like his friend Vince Gill, Brad Paisley has achieved the often-difficult feat of reconciling being an entertainer and world-class guitarist. He's proven that on four admirable albums, and 5th Gear follows in that vein. Certainly "Ticks," an airy, radio-friendly ditty, is not the true substance here. That comes with such superior fare as the insightful "All I Wanted Was a Car" and "Online," a sly satire of people's Web facades. While his duet with Carrie Underwood ("Oh Love") is a bit cut and dried, Paisley ably handles "Letter to Me," "It Did," and "Mr. Policeman," a 21st-century outrun-the-law tune. The closing hymn, "When We All Get to Heaven," and ripping instrumental "Throttleneck" are Paisley at his best. It's admirable that he invites his venerable buddies, Little Jimmy Dickens, George Jones, Vince Gill, and Bill Anderson, along with Dolly Parton, to join in, but the obligatory "Kung Pao Buckaroos" skit is wearing a bit thin. Better to feature them musically, the way he includes Dickens, Gill, and Anderson on "Bigger Fish to Fry." In a time where lines between county and pop are blurring far too much, it's comforting to know Paisley still realizes and respects the differences. --Rich Kienzle

Brad Paisley has done it again....he has wowed his audience with another amazing album...

I felt that the song "Letter to Me" was written about me....I mean, I am a high school senior, and over half the things that were mentioned in the song have happened to me in my high school years....

My grandpa and my dad got a big kick out of the song "I'm Still a Guy"....I did too....amazing!

A Hundred Miles or More carries the subtitle A Collection, and what a curious collection it is--cuts from soundtracks, side projects, and tribute albums, plus guest duets on other artists' albums and five previously unreleased tracks. In other words, this is a collection of Alison Krauss performances that have never appeared on an Alison Krauss album, though it holds together better than such a grab-bag approach might suggest. Highlights such as her duet with Brad Paisley on "Whiskey Lullaby" and her a cappella rendition of "Down to the River to Pray" from O Brother, Where Art Thou? will be familiar to most Krauss fans, though it's doubtful that many share her infatuation with retro rocker John Waite (with whom she revives his "Missing You" and duets on a cover of Don Williams's "Lay Down Beside Me."). Other projects represented range from Disney to the Chieftains to the Louvin Brothers (she duets with James Taylor on their "How's the World Treating You." There's minimal contribution from her Union Station band--making this a solo release by default--and little information to indicate whether the previously unreleased tracks were outtakes from earlier releases or recently recorded for this one. --Don McLeese

I love her sweetness and clarity. She revisits gospel and olde tyme toe tappers and make you want to stomp your feet, get up and clap and say "Amen". I don't believe Alison Krauss could produce any thing that you wouldn't like. Sort of like Emmy Lou Harris. Just gifted.

Many remakes dot this album. Some very surprising collabrations. AK could have done very standard remakes, but instead reinvented many songs. I prefer Simple Love, which is not a remake, Sawing on Strings, a very traditional bluegrass song. These are two songs she is singing on her current tour with Union Station. She does not sing any of the duet songs on this album on her current tour.

After their wild experimental streak of the past decade, Wilco's sixth studio album might feel like a bit of a comedown. Sky Blue Sky is mellow, moody, and uncharacteristically monotone, opening with a pleasant jangle and Jeff Tweedy singing a simple song: "Maybe the sun will shine today, the clouds will blow away." He doesn't even follow it up with a barbed punchline. Could it be that the restless Chicago band has settled back into its gentle Americana roots--or does this sudden mid-career reappraisal represent Wilco's gutsiest move yet? Mostly written in the studio by the full band, it's certainly the group's most cohesive album in ages, presenting a dense song cycle padded with intricate guitar work, brushed rhythms, and '70s soft-rock accents. In places it sounds like Wings ("Hate It Here"), in others Harry Nilsson ("Walken"), and in the middle it goes a bit Grateful Dead ("Shake It Off"). At the same time, there's a distinct sense of hearing a band finally at ease in its own skin. Sky Blue Sky represents the sound of Wilco finally pulling through its petulant adolescence. --Aidin Vaziri

Album Description

"Sky Blue Sky" has hints of early-seventies Southern California folk-rock sweetness in the harmonies. The album is filled with brash guitar solos that take songs like "You Are My Face" and "Shake It Off" in unexpected directions.

Customer Reviews:

Hooray For Me.......2007-07-29

I like Ghost and YHF fine, but I selfishly wished they would strip back their production to reveal the simple beauty of their songwriting, lyrics, and vocals. This is my album, and I love it. It's not the most terribly original thing, but it is very very pretty. Turns out someone in the band is even a good guitar player; I listened to the solo on the first cut several times, I find it tasteful and wonderful. Anyhoo, don't know if this album is better than the last two, it just happened to be more to my personal taste. Lucky me, I guess.

More 'Being There' less 'Foxtrot'.......2007-07-27

If you love Wilco, like I do, you will love this album. It is their most accessible album in over a decade. Summerteeth and Foxtrot rank as my favorites, but Ghost is my least favorite, and I'm glad this is a departure from that. Think A.M. and Being There, with a little more wisdom and professionalism.

I've grown to love this album.

Love those VW ads..........2007-07-25

Wilco is unquestionably one of the best bands of our time, and this is certainly worth a listen.

This is very different from Ghost / YHF in that the songs are much more direct, with less elaborate mixes / elusive lyrics than their prior two masterpieces. Sort of hearkens to Being There, but with less of an alt-country sound.

One of the best of 2007 - but not quite as good as at least this fan was expecting (check out Cassadega for the best to date this year).

Simply just good music.......2007-07-21

I know it's hip to scrutinize a band's intentions, personal backgrounds, blah blah blah, but whatever happened to just listening to the music? Yes, Wilco has been experimental, using dissonance and space to create compelling noise. This time, they wrote songs that could actually be played on the radio (the nerve!) and listened to while mowing the lawn (how dare Wilco make a fun record!). I am a Wilco fan from the beginning. First record, OK. Second, became a great American band. Third, tried too hard. Fourth, became pretentious to their success. Fifth, remained pretentious to their detriment. Sixth, made a very thoughtful, cool record. Remember when Radiohead made "The Bends" and we could all sing along? Then Thom Yourke decided he should change the world and use an Atari 2600 to write "songs"? Let's hope Tweedy realizes that his fans like to hear the great songs only Wilco can write.

an experiment in refinement.......2007-07-21

Wilco's incessant experimentation and growth between albums are instantly intriguing. Despite the fact that their work is often changing genres, it is always exciting. However, as is always the case, if you fell in love with Wilco because of the 'style' of one album or another, you might be disappointed here. The moody and sublime landmark 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot,' with its amazing juxtapositions of griding guitars and harmonic acoustics, has evolved into 'Sky Blue Sky,' a more even keel work indicative of introspective, peaceful summer days. The earlier instrumental experimentation has, on 'Sky Blue Sky,' evolved into somewhat superficial and cliche solos.
This album is reflective in a way that no other Wilco album has been- it is somehow singular and introverted, as though Jeff Tweedy were singing only to himself.
Wilco's evolution is inevitable and admirable. It's the subtleties that I miss on this album- the storytelling, the raw experimentation.

This is, if nothing else, what Wilco sounds like all dressed up with nowhere to go.

Though the arrangements stray from Lucinda Williams's motherlode blend of blues, country, and folk, West may well be her best album. It is easily her most musically adventurous, and often her most lyrically inspired. Williams's singing has never sounded better, from the aching tenderness of "Where Is My Love?" to the ravaged catharsis of "Unsuffer Me." New York producer Hal Willner, who has worked with artists such as Marianne Faithful and Lou Reed, enlists the support of eclectic progressives like guitarist Bill Frisell, keyboardist Bob Burger, and violinist Jenny Scheinman, along with harmonies from the Jayhawks' Gary Louris, to weave a subtly rich sonic tapestry. Much of the material was inspired by the death of Williams's beloved mother ("Mama You Sweet," "Fancy Funeral") and the bitter breakup of a relationship (the jagged-edged emasculation of "Come On," the repetitive incantation of "Wrap My Head Around That"), though "Are You Alright?," "Learning How to Live," and "Everything Has Changed" could reflect the aftermath of both. Other highlights include "Rescue," with a languid subtlety and ambient pulse reminiscent of Beth Orton, and the dreamy, wistful title track. Where Williams's music has long cut close to the bone, the best of West slices right through it. --Don McLeese

Worth It!.......2007-07-30

As with all Lucinda Williams...this CD really grows on you the more you listen to it. I really like it.

I'm In Heaven When She Sings.......2007-07-30

Lucinda Williams has done some amazing work over a long career and she just keeps getting better and better. To my ears West just about the best thing she has ever done. She doesn't rock out a lot which suits me fine, because you really get to appreciate her skill with words and hear that voice...aaahhhh what a voice!

Enjoyable Americana Music.......2007-07-24

I first heard cuts from this album, on the "Imus In The Morning" show, earlier this year. He has such a great ear for music, and I liked what I heard on his show. The album is very earthy, and soulful. Lucinda Williams is a powerful singer/songwriter, and "West" is the perfect showcase for her talent. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys soulful, Americana music.

Gets better with age.......2007-07-22

Simply put Lucinda just paints a sound and words that rings true. She as far the wide buyind audience is unknown, very underrated as trash female artits do their stuff.

great album.......2007-07-21

i really like this album. have a few LW songs in a few of mu alt country compilation cd's and have heard an album or two that other people owned. Happy to have one of my own. i think I picked a good one. Theres one or two songs on the album that are wierd to me and slightly grating, but overall i think that this is some of her best music.

Would American Idol winner Carrie Underwood have landed a major-label recording contract without winning the hugely popular television contest? Probably. The big-voiced Oklahoman has the pipes, the look, the pedigree, and, most important, the emotional resonance to sustain a professional career. As an investment in her future, her label eschewed the easy path in putting out an album to take advantage of her publicity, going for a name producer, Dann Huff (Keith Urban, Faith Hill, Lonestar), to handle half the tracks. It also solicited material from the same top songwriters (Diane Warren, Brett James, Troy Verges, Rivers Rutherford) who stock albums by Hill, Martina McBride, Trisha Yearwood, and Wynonna. "Jesus, Take the Wheel," the hit first single, shows off the best of Underwood's power vocals, while the sexy rocker "We're Young and Beautiful" pulls her out of her ballad-heavy comfort zone, and her autobiographical "I Ain't in Checotah Anymore" bolsters her authenticity. If the young performer oversings on occasion (the overwrought bonus track, "Inside Your Heaven"), and settles for too many generic themes, she still surprises in her ability to go head-to-head with country's reigning females. Will Underwood really survive to be a contender for the Martina throne? Let's just say that American Idol judges and voters picked the right contestant. If the posturing Bo Bice had won, rock stars would hardly be quaking in their boots. --Alanna Nash

Solid Start.......2007-07-31

Some Hearts is a good, though not fantastic, album from American Idol winner Carrie Underwood. It's modern, contemporary country with pop influences at times but not too many. There's a mix of faster stuff and ballads with some religious references, particularly in the tune "Jesus Take the Wheel." Othewise, good tunes are:

Some Hearts - the fastest, catchiest number. More pop than country
Night Before - about high school sweethearts about to be separated by the need to grow up

Before He Cheats - song with attitude, revenge on cheating boyfriend through vandalism of vehicle

We're Young and Beautiful - faster and with spirit
I Ain't in Checotah Anymore - homage to hometown and recognition life has changed a lot

Outstanding service.......2007-07-28

I recieved good service, my article came on time with no damage. Amazon on any thing I have ever ordered has always been outstanding service. I enjoy it because I can get quality service without leaving my house. thank you Amazon

A very good album..........2007-07-25

This cd is among the best of the American Idol's album. And I still considered it very good when compared to other artist's albums. The music is a mix of country and rock, and although IMO the mixes/mastering is not that good (it somehow feels not natural - a lot of processing?), but the songs and the messages in the songs are very good.

AWESOME.......2007-07-16

It's a great CD. Carrie Underwood has an incredible voice. I listen to this CD everyday. It's amazing!!!! I strongly recommend that you buy this CD!!!...it's great!!!

Amazing debut!.......2007-07-11

I'm one of those people who followed Carrie on American Idol and just had to get her debut album, whether it was good or not. Although I've found that most debuts from AI stars tend to be nothing special, Some Hearts sets itself apart from the rest of the crowd.

Here's a rundown of the songs and my rating:

Wasted-4.5/5
Don't Forget to Remember Me-3.5/5
Some Hearts-4/5
Jesus, Take the Wheel-4/5
The Night Before (Life Goes On)-4/5
Lessons Learned-4.75/5
Before He Cheats-4.5/5
Starts With Goodbye-4.5/5
I Just Can't Live A Lie-4/5
We're Young And Beautiful-3.25/5
That's Where It Is-3.75/5
Whenever You Remember-3.25/5
I Ain't in Checotah Anymore-3/5
Inside Your Heaven-3.75/5

Although my ratings above don't average to be 5 stars, the entire album is worth 5 stars, if not more. There's something truly amazing about Carrie's voice. She has the ability to soothe and yet can drill an important message loud and powerfully. Carrie is known to be a country music artist but a lot of the songs on Some Hearts aren't extremely country-sounding. I'm not a fan of country music so I was pleasantly surprised that both fans of country music and fans of good music in general can find this album entertaining.

Those who only know Carrie from her singles will be content with songs like "Jesus, Take the Wheel", "Some Hearts", "Don't Forget to Remember Me", "Before He Cheats", and her American Idol single "Inside Your Heaven". Thankfully, the rest of the songs on this album are just as good (if not better) than the singles.

Although most of the songs are considered "slow" (mainly due to the violins and piano), there's plenty of guitars and drums to kick up each and every song. Lyric-wise, I can't think of any good albums other than Some Hearts that have real, relatable messages. From "Wasted"'s message about learning to get over alcohol problems, to "Before He Cheats"'s message about getting back at a cheating boyfriend, to "Lessons Learned"'s message about being positive even with the changes life throws you, it's obvious that there was a lot of heart put into this album.

The highlights of this album are "Wasted", "Lessons Learned", "Before He Cheats", "Starts With Goodbye", and "I Just Can't Live A Lie". Listen to this album while driving with your windows down with a couple of close friends. Or listen to it when you need a pick me up. It's truly a breath of fresh air.

When he laid down 1994's The Impossible Bird--the ninth solo album in a career that already, via Rockpile, Brinsley Schwarz, Kippington Lodge, and production work for Elvis Costello, the Damned, and the Pretenders, stretched back over 25 years--Nick Lowe probably wasn't setting out to create a four-part trilogy à la Douglas Adams. But with At My Age (which is 58, incidentally, as of the album's June 2007 release), Lowe has created a fine companion to Bird, 1998's Dig My Mood, and 2001's The Convincer. Six years was a bit too long of a wait, 2004's live Untouched Takeaway notwithstanding. And given all that time, Lowe breaks no new ground: At My Age is essentially more of the same combination of blue-eyed soul and pre-Sweetheart country-rock that characterized those previous releases. But when the results are so deliciously horn-drenched and include songs like "Long Limbed Girl," "People Change," "The Club," "Not Too Long Ago," and the delightfully malicious "I Trained Her to Love Me" ("If you think that it's depraved and I should be ashamed, so what? / I'm only paying back womankind for all the grief I got"), who's complaining? Good things have indeed come to those who waited. --Benjamin Lukoff

Album Description

Blue-eyed soul? You don't even know the definition until you've heard the sweet smoke of Nick Lowe's trademark croon. Now, later in life, Lowe's rootsy, grown-up soul has risen to the surface of what was a cracked and stripped-down artistic aesthetic in the late '70s, when he produced records for Elvis Costello, the Pretenders, and influential British proto-punkers the Damned. During his years as house producer for Stiff Records Lowe's oft-copied rough-hewn production style set the stage for the DIY philosophy of the punk revolution.

Sublimely aged in a solid oak barrel, At My Age showcases Lowe's perfection of his own unique brand of soul-soaked country-pop, resulting in an album as refined and perfectly distilled as he is. Lowe's convention-breaking phrasing shines backed by gorgeous '60s Memphis-style horns and tastefully subdued guitar hooks. At My Age displays, with Nick's signature polish, the sublime, linear connection between country, rhythm and blues, and rock 'n' roll. So, grab a drink, a smoke, and hear Americana done right...by a Brit.

didn't know him.......2007-07-30

I'm middle age and never heard of Nick Lowe before. I read a review in " The Week " magazine which praised this new record. I really love it. Every song is enjoyable and I plan to get more of his music. Glad to discover this guy.

Still Sounding Great.......2007-07-30

Continuing in the style he laid out on "Impossible Bird," Nick Lowe has written another great album. Here's a musician playing music to please himself. It's laid-back, but with great emotion. Wonderful use of horns enhances many of the tracks. Classic vocal music by a master songwriter.

Well Done Old Friend .......2007-07-27

Pour a drink, light a smoke (tobacco optional) and let Mr. Lowe take you on a velvet ride with just the right dose of rocking. Does our generation now have its very own Mel Torme? These are songs one would write after a dose of Viagra but your date cancelled. Glad to see that Nick is still getting it up. Bravo

Aging to perfection.......2007-07-26

A wonderful listen, this cd flows beautifully. Nick Lowe rates with Ray Davies as one of the best songwriters of the last 45 years. He excels at wry views on life, he vocal style is undestated and he gives you a glimpse at his thoughts. We all should age so well!

Pre-judged "At My Age"".......2007-07-24

I have not received the CD as it was just ordered today--but I'm writing a review because I heard NPR's Terri Gross interview Nick Lowe, today, 07/24/07. He sang the first 3 songs on the album. Having heard those songs was enough to get me flying to my computer to order the CD!

On her fifth studio CD, folk-rocker Patty Griffin employs three timeless themes--childhood, flight, and death--to craft her most musically diverse and accessible album yet. But while moving through jazz, beatnik, classic and modern folk, gospel R&B, Americana, and moody piano ballad, Griffin keeps her backing quiet and spare, all the more to showcase the power of her deft storytelling and the bell clarity of her unadorned soprano. On song after song, the characters who waft through her experience are on the move, chasing one thing and fleeing another--on trains, ships, buses, in cars, even on the aerialist's bar--ultimately trading an ending of one kind for a new beginning and transference. Sometimes--as on the Rickie Lee Jones-ish "Stay on the Ride," where an old man with no name answers an existential urge for going--they don't even know what it is. "Trapeze," the most resonant offering, follows an aging circus performer who'd rather work without a net than take her chances in love. Here, Emmylou Harris adds one of her most aching harmony lines to Griffin's exquisite, ethereal lead, while in the next track, "Getting Ready," the singer turns a 180, laying a sneering Dylanesque vocal over a fiercely scrubbed acoustic guitar and an occasional dissonant kiss-off. "Baby, baby, you were my drug/And I was just your cigarette," she drones knowingly. One suspects that particular object of her affections will soon regret it. --Alanna Nash

Customer Reviews:

excellent cd!!!!!!!!!.......2007-07-24

after purchasing my first patti g. cd(1000 kisses) a few months ago, i had to have another. after receiving this cd, i wondered where patti had been all of my life. trapeze and burgandy shoes give me chills from head to toe. i love to hold my baby girl and dance in the kitchen to heavenly day....makes me cry. can't stop listening to this cd!!!

Not up to her standard.......2007-07-23

First off, I have always liked Griffin's music, the haunting melodies, the piercing lyrics, the purity of her voice, all fantanstic.

Sadly, this cd is not up to her best. She seems to be trying to make a more 'upbeat' and accessible cd, but I feel that this approach has led her astray. Too often the lyrics are trite and obvious, and the melodies are lost in guitars being banged. Her wonderful voice is still strong, but too often she adopts the modern 'warbling' which cames across as unauthentic. Maybe she's trying to reach out to a wider audience and I guess from all the positive reviews she has succeeded to some extent.

But if you're a fan of her previous work, you're likely to be a little dissappointed here. Not once in listening to this cd did I get those rushes of emotion that I always get from her. The album sounds rushed to me, or maybe she didn't get proper help from a good producer. Eitherway, this is Griffin 'lite.' Sounds like her, but the punch just ain't there.

Her Finest Hour.......2007-07-10

I've always been a sorta-kinda fan of Patty Griffin, but each of her prior albums has suffered from a few (or more) dud songs, and moments where her voice struggles against notes that she just can't hit very well. Finally an album where these problems are nearly absent! It's amazing how gracefully she's aging; her voice has never sounded so good. A couple tracks took some time to grow on me, but now I can honestly say it's a pleasure for me to listen to this album from beginning to end without skipping a single track. And as for the standout tracks...I would name them, but there are about seven of them. (Though "No Bad News" and "Up to the Mountain" are among the best songs she's ever recorded.) I can't wait to hear her next album, but if Children Running Through ends up being her masterpiece, that's good enough for me.

My Best Friend.......2007-07-09

I wish I could square the 5 star rating. I was familiar with Patty Griffin's songs long before I heard her beautiful voice. She is a marvel. I normally need to warm up to new music before I start to enjoy it. This lovely collection was my current favorite the first time I heard it. Heavenly Day is now my "happy place" when I need one. I'd give Patty a hug if I could reach far enough. Thanks for the good times!

move, inspire and entertain.......2007-07-08

Patty Griffin is a storyteller. Rarely confessional or self-indulgent, she tells tales, assumes personas and takes the listener deep into the lives of her characters. Each persona has her or his own musical interpretation, deepening and strengthening the voice. In "Up to the Mountain (MLK Song)," Griffin assumes the voice of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and puts herself into to the head and heart of a man working for a vision and a dream. Hope seems to be a theme on this latest effort, as is travel. "Stay on the Ride" has a man riding the bus day in and day out because "it's gonna take me somewhere." Griffin takes some musical risks and periodically diverges from her comfortable style, as in the jazzier tones of the opening track, "You'll Remember," and the gospel-infused strains of "Heavenly Day" and "Up to the Mountain." "Trapeze" showcases a gorgeous duet with the master of harmonies, Emmylou Harris. Patty Griffin is an artist who has hit her stride and stayed there for years. This album proves her staying power and continued ability to move, inspire and entertain.

On his first totally controlled album for his own label, Toby Keith adds another title to his résumé: producer. Throughout, the former Oklahoma wildcatter, who's taken heat for his blustery patriotism and outspoken remarks, seems to be seeking new respect, shifting the focus off of politics and grandstanding and back to his talents as a musician. While his last album, White Trash with Money, found him flirting with R&B and adding horns for a bit more bump, his latest effort finds him nearly in a singer-songwriter mood, taking more time to craft the sound of the tracks and laying down his own harmonies. He's still relying on gimmicky wordplay and cartoon puffery for his full-tilt radio numbers ("High Maintenance Woman," "Big Dog Daddy"), but he also showcases the sensitive, ballad-heavy side of his personality that hasn't been as apparent since the '90s ("Does That Blue Moon Ever Shine on You," "We Were in Love"). He achieves this with some fine cowriting--the winsome "I Know She Hung the Moon" and "Walk It Off," and the lusty "Burnin' Moonlight." He also finds two excellent covers, Fred Eaglesmith's "White Rose" (which combines nostalgia for full-service gas stations with that of a teen's coming of age) and the thoughtful Craig Wiseman/Chris Wallin ballad "Love Me If You Can." The latter, a quiet social commentary, revisits Keith's familiar theme of holding one's ground, but with a far more compassionate approach than he's tried before. Consider it a meditation from a brash king of the hill who hasn't forgotten how to be humble. --Alanna Nash

I wasn't a Toby Keith fan.......2007-08-01

I was not a Toby Keith fan until I saw him in concert at Jamboree in the Hills July 21, 2007. He puts on a great performance. If no one knows what Jamboree in the Hills is its the super bowl of country music. Toby put on a spectacular concert. Toby now has a new fan thanks to Jamboree in the Hills. Thank You Toby for such an awesome show.

Great differentiation.......2007-07-30

Love this CD. There are numbers that rock (like the title song Big Dog Daddy), but also a few slower ballads, bit of real country and in between. And all with this great voice of Toby Keith. Great to listen to in the car. Worth all the costs of shipping and taxes to get it here in the Netherlands.

Another Great One !!!.......2007-07-24

I am a huge TK fan and I think this was one of his best CD's. I have loved every one of his CD's that he has made and he knows exactly what his fans want !! He is an awesome performer and puts on great concerts and always stays true to himself !!

Big Dog Daddy.......2007-07-23

This is one of the best Toby Keith has done! I can't stop listening to it! Each song is better then the next...whata guy..what music!

Slightly Disappointed.......2007-07-21

I love Toby he's my favorite country star, yet I found this CD to be missing something. White Trash With Money was awesome I loved every song on it but this one there are just a few that just don't seem to fit. Over all though if you are a Toby fan it's worth adding it to your collection there is far more good songs than so-so ones on here.
