Congo one of my best. After seeing Congo (Edit; Congo (Edit)), I had to have a good Chanson - Various Artists CD. I am not a real Chanson music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Congo’ really is amazing. Lots of variety between tracks. My favorite is Papa He Said
I’ve found myself listening to Papa He Said back to back and back many times. Banjo Man is a bit of a show-tune.

When you buy a Bill Wyman and the Rhythm Kings album, you know exactly what you’re getting! It’s natural for Bill Wyman and the Rhythm Kings to take a stab at ‘Hole In My Soul’ considering her long-professed love for Hotch potchi. This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by Bill Wyman and the Rhythm Kings. Struttin’ Our Stuff is my first Bill Wyman and the Rhythm Kings Album and i must say i am blown away.
Tobacco Road - A catchy, upbeat tune. Going Crazy Overnight is possibly the best song Bill Wyman and the Rhythm Kings has come up. One listen to the sheer beauty of Jitterbug Boogie was all I needed. After few listenings I started to like Down In The Bottom more and more. I’m Mad is worth the money. Bad To Be Alone make listening to Bill Wyman and the Rhythm Kings like being in some sort of time warp. Bill Wyman and the Rhythm Kings has astounded me with this amazing track. Listening to Walking On My Own you can hear that Bill Wyman and the Rhythm Kings has still amazing chemistry with band members. Green River is a exquisite sing-along. Stuff (Can’t Get Enough) - Okay, I just talked about depth. Motorvatin’ Mama is a bit different from Bill Wyman and the Rhythm Kings stereotypical stuff.

It’s natural for Cesaria Evora to take a stab at ‘Tchintchirote’ considering her long-professed love for Big Fun. This disc has all of the essential Cesaria Evora classics. This is the first studio album from Cesaria Evora since bad diagnosis in 1997. Cesaria Evora is one of my favourite bands of all time.
It’s a great pleasure to listen to Sabine Larga’m from the beginning to the end. Partida is one of the more up-tempo songs on Cabo Verde. Strong, powerful vocals of Cesaria Evora in Sangue de Beirona are very impressive. Apocalipse is so unique, as each one of the songs is. In Mar e Morada Di Sodade full palet of sound is used by Cesaria Evora to accentuate the presentation. In Bo e di meu Cretcheu the music gets its power. In this song fans will recognize the unique vocals of Cesaria Evora. Quem bo e is the album’s biggest hit, I think. Regresso is quite refreshing and sets the tone for what is going on in Cabo Verde. I think Zebra is the best song Cesaria Evora has ever done. Mae Velha which is my favorite is a truly Cesaria Evora sounding song. Pe di boi is the funkiest number on the album. Ess pais is exquisite work of Cesaria Evora.

Since Louis Armstrong last CD (Complete RCA Victor Recordings (CD3)) on Angular Recording Corporation back in 1997, I have felt a massive void in my life. Complete RCA Victor Recordings (CD3) isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. six years ago, Louis Armstrong briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “I Believe”. Complete RCA Victor Recordings (CD3) is the best album I have heard in a long time
From the moment you listen to I Believe you’re hooked. Still going through Complete RCA Victor Recordings (CD3) and coming to appreciate I Wonder, I Wonder, I Wonder more and more with every listen. Mahogany Hall Stomp is probably the most interesting track on Complete RCA Victor Recordings (CD3). It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: Where The Blues Where Born…, which shows, blatantly, how much Louis Armstrong has evolved as a singer. Strong, powerful vocals of Louis Armstrong in Do You Know What It Means are very impressive. Endie is the most memorable and perfect. The Blues Are Brewin’ is just a great song and one well worth taking the time to give it a good listen. Vocal harmonies in this track are great and song structure is just right. Only one song from Complete RCA Victor Recordings (CD3) named Sugar really got me. I Want A Little Girl is a medium tempo tune. Back O’ Town Blues catches attention immediately, Joseph ‘n’ His Brudders is so unique, as each one of the songs is. Awesome song is really all that you can say about it. Whatta Ya Gonna Do is possibly the most mysterious and inexplicable track Louis Armstrong ever produced. Blues For Yesterday is a sure sign of something most of us are experiencing, maturity. You can find feelings on this piece of art. Snafu is a song that takes you on the journey before it reaches the conclusion. Long, Long Journey is exquisite work of Louis Armstrong.

It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Spear energies, virtually a rebirth. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Spear on ‘Ancient Town Broken Bridges’. Spear’s debut, ‘Dark Waters Of Light’, does not fit easily into one genre. Ancient Town Broken Bridges and Pure is really good.
Pure - a classic song. I can’t stop playing Millenium Night. Silver Drops is worth the money. Child hits the heart. I can’t stop humming along Cipher. Sun Is High is one of the more up-tempo songs on Dark Waters Of Light. You can find feelings on this piece of art. Why Do You Sleep is beautiful, yet underrated track.

Daddy the elegant and beautiful song on the album is hard to describe. Angel Standing By is the albums lead single as well as biggest hit. Jewel allows each song to breathe and flourish.

Music and lyrics of Sandalwood and Jasmine creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming. Jayadev, the Bard of Love is the albums biggest surprise. Moonlight on a Lotus is probably the highlight of the album. The sound of Of a love that Sweetly Dwells is difficult to describe, as it seems to squirm in a sensual manner, unlike anything ever created.
