 (2 Customer Reviews)
Country singer Jo Dee Messina has been voted top new female vocalist by the Academy of County Music, and walked away with the Country Music Association's Horizon Award. Before then she made her full-length debut into the music world with this 1996 self-titled album. Producers Byron Gallimore and well-known singer Tim McGraw oversaw the recording. The resulting album was an impressive outing for Messina. On this recording, music lovers can enjoy country ballads like "He'd Never Seen Julie Cry," "On a Wing and a Prayer," and "Every Little Girl's Dream," as well as upbeat, energetic pop-flavored numbers such as "Do You Wanna Make Something of It" and "Heads Carolina, Tails California." The latter is an early favorite of many Messina fans. After such a great first effort, it wasn't surprising that her next album, I'm Alright, released two years later, went double platinum. ~ Charlotte Dillon

| | Robert Creeley CD (2001)
Jo Dee Messina CD music
$12.19
Of all the poets who came of age during the World War II era, Robert Creeley is one of the most enduring and restless, continually honing his vision, seeking the doorway for language to let itself out, to shower and cover listeners and readers with its beauty and truth, no matter how small and intimate it is -- or how large and terrible. Creeley has made other recordings, one in collaboration with Steve Lacy called Futurities, and another with a group of musicians headed by Steve Swallow and David Torn entitled Have We Told You All We'd Thou. But this recording is just the poet's voice and his newest poems, which in the liner notes he confesses to loving, the same as children. He reads in a slightly wavering, tender voice, like the 75-year-old man he is, his words coming out straighter than straight, yet looping like music around the listener, touching upon the air as something sacred, something to be pondered, wondered at, and ultimately to be taken in as memory, moral, allegory, and simple truth. Many of these poems rhyme according to schemata ...
| | Ramblin Jack Elliott Young Brigham CD (1968)
Jo Dee Messina music CDs
$11.39
Includes original release liner notes by Johnny Cash & reissue liner notes by Richie Unterberger.
Folksinger Ramblin' Jack Elliott is a fascinating and eccentric figure, and Young Brigham from 1968 finds him in his element. The arrangements are busier than on his previous recordings, but they never get in the way of his off-the-cuff style. His vocals are perhaps more eccentric here than usual, delivering out of the ordinary versions of If I Were a Carpenter and Tennessee Stud. The difference between Elliott's versions and those of your average folksinger is that he sounds as though he's having a good time. This renders over-familiar material, like the above-mentioned songs, fresh. There are great versions of Danville Girl and Don't Think Twice, It's Alright, and a nice original titled, 912 Greens. Elliott usually stuck to singing other people's songs and held onto his folk roots even when singer-songwriters began to take over the `60s folk scene. Even the Rolling Stone's Connection, comes across as country-folk, not rock-and-roll. Elliott also includes a couple of Woody Guthrie songs to let everyone know where his roots lay. Richie Unterberger's liner notes do a great job of placing this album in context. It would be the first of two albums Elliott would record for Reprise in an unsuccessful attempt to bring him to a larger audience. Larger audience or not, the music stands for itself. Young Brigham is a nice snapshot of Elliott in the late `60s and shows him leaving the confines of a large studio with his folk heritage intact. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr.
In the wake of the unexpected commercial success of Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant in 1967, his record company, Warner Bros. (along with its sister label, Reprise) became interested in signing more New York-based folksingers, and soon Eric Andersen, David Blue, Joni Mitchell, and Ramblin' Jack Elliott had found homes on the West Coast major. Elliott was perhaps the least likely of this roster, having kicked around the folk scene since the early 1950s, when he was a junior associate of Woody Guthrie's, and made a series of albums for the folk division of the independent jazz label Prestige. Reprise made no overt attempt to alter Elliott's style to make him more commercial. Producer Bruce Langhorne (famed for his guitar stylings on albums by Bob Dylan and other folk-rock performers) brought in some extra musicians, and Elliott cut a couple ...
| | 'Sixties Hits Of Carl Smith CD (2002)
Jo Dee Messina songs
$13.69
Carl Smith's legacy and reputation is built on the hardcore honky tonk he cut for Columbia in the '50s, which ranks among the purest and best of its era. Since the dawn of the CD reissue boom in the '80s, that has been the Carl Smith music that's been reissued, first on Columbia/Legacy's excellent The Essential Carl Smith (1950-1956) then on Bear Family's fine 1996 five-disc box set Satisfaction Guaranteed, which contained the entirety of his '50s recordings. So much emphasis was placed on this era that listeners who came to Smith late may have thought he didn't record or didn't have success in the '60s, when the opposite is true. He continued recording for Columbia in the '60s, and while he rarely ...

Like many independent labels in the '50s, '60s, and '70s, the Texas-based Little Darlin' Records recorded more material than they released, and of the singles they did put out, not all made the charts. Among collectors and fanatics, these are the 45s that are highly sought-after, since these are the songs that are either rarities, forgotten gems, or, perhaps best of all, simply unknown ...
