Counting Crows Recovering the Satellites Rock Music CD Review
Author: Clyde Lee Dennis
Not sure what’s happening with me on this one, but it seems like the more I listen to it, the better Recovering The Satellites gets. Recovering The Satellites put simply is one of their best CDs to date.
It’s a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I’m more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it’s own.
One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you've got one of Counting Crows most impressive releases ever.
Listen to this CD and I believe you’ll find there’s not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and this is clearly the work of a group of musicians in top form. So much so that if you're even mildly into Rock music you’ll enjoy this CD.
While the entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 2 - Angels Of The Silences, track 9 - Another Horsedreamer’s Blues, and track 14 - Walkaways
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Catapult. It’s a great track!

The exceptionally talented Rock group Dave Weckl Band have released their CD entitled Multiplicity. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Dave Weckl Band fans, and Rock fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Multiplicity their artistic excellence is on full display as they have once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be their best work to date.
Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
These days it’s a very rare CD on which every single song is good or better than the one before it. This CD is certainly one of those rare CDs.
If you’re a Dave Weckl Band fan this is a CD your collection flat cannot be without. In fact, this is one of those CDs that you don’t even have to be a fan of lname, or even Rock to know is good. This is just good music. Period.
While this entire album is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 2 - Elements Of Surprise, track 6 - Chain Reaction, and track 9 - Down On The Corner.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Watch Your Step. Great track!

One word describes the CD Two Highways from Alison Krauss… AWESOME!
Alison Krauss has been a heavy hitter in the Country genre for quite a while now and Two Highways is an excellent illustration as to why.
Two Highways has a pleasantly varied, mix of 12 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly gifted artist. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are her own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.
Overall Two Highways is an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up and is most definitely a worthy addition to any Country collection. Truly an outstanding Country CD. One of those that is completely void of any wasted time, as each track is simply superb.

Choosing the Perfect Style for your Wedding Music
Author: Kevin Kinyon
by Kevin Kinyon
One of the most important, and beautiful, elements of any wedding is the music. The wedding music you select will set the tone for the various segments of your ceremony and will help to instill memories you won’t soon forget. Each wedding song included, whether performed by a wedding singer or played by an inspirational harpist or violinist, will create feelings and moods that reach beyond you personally and straight through to the congregation and wedding party. Your choices of wedding music should also reflect the personal tastes of you and your groom.
While it may seem like a lot to ask of a mere wedding song, there are some simple guidelines to follow when selecting the perfect style for your wedding music.
Be Sincere
As mentioned above, each wedding song should reflect the personal tastes of you and your groom. If you like country music, have an acoustic guitarist or pianist play a prelude of country ballads. If you prefer classical, perhaps having a string quartet or woodwind ensemble play the wedding march would be to your liking. Whatever your own, personal style of music, let it come through in your wedding music choices.
Keep It Appropriate
While this is your day and your personal music preferences should take precedence, keep in mind that others will be in attendance at your ceremony as well. Keeping your wedding music choices appropriate by respecting others’ likes and dislikes is always in line with good etiquette.
Traditional or Contemporary Wedding Music?
Must you use the standard wedding music choices or are other wedding songs (recessionals, processionals, etc.) available? The choices are vast, and you have numerous options.
The best-known wedding song is Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March” from A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream. However, a multitude of others have been used as well including:
· Stanley’s “Trumpet Voluntary”
· Vierne’s “Finale”
· Wagner’s “Bridal Chorus”
· Bach’s “Prelude in C Major”
· and others
And wedding songs? There are countless selections. Consult with the musicians you choose as they an invaluable source of ideas for wedding music.
Above all, relax! Wedding music is as varied as wedding couples are. If your choices feel right to you, chances are great that your ceremony will be fabulous!

Author: Clyde Lee Dennis
I can describe the latest release from Rock super group Black Sabbath for you with just one word… Outstanding!
Unfortunately, it’s not everyday that I get a CD for review that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Sabotage. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
Sabotage is a pleasantly varied, mix of 8 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly outstanding musicians. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.
If you’re even mildly into Rock music you’ll enjoy this album. Overall Sabotage is an outstanding release. I give it my double thumbs up. You will not be disappointed with one single track.
While this entire album is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 3 - Symptom Of The Universe, track 5 - The Thrill Of It All, and track 8 - The Writ.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Hole In The Sky. This is a great track!
Sabotage Release Notes:
