| | Three Swedish Fiddlers CD Three Swedish Fiddlers Discography of CDs
If the guitar is the national instrument of Spain, and the bagpipes are the national instrument of Scotland, the national instrument of Sweden is surely the fiddle. This disc presents three fiddlers who play in the folk idiom of the province of Dalarna, accompanied by nothing more than the occasional foot stomp. Having multiple fiddlers keeps the sound from being as shrill or scratchy as that of a solo fiddler, but the playing is basically unison, with one or another fiddler ducking out now and then for a bit of dark ornament, implied bass, or quasi-drone. Although the tunes have the usual gothic quality characteristic of Scandinavian music, the beats are from dances and are generally cheerful.
The tunes are a mixture of originals and reworkings of classics. Some are almost orchestral in their massed power and trills ("Polska From Ore"), while others are decorously romantic ("Waltz From Transtrand") or jaunty and more polyphonic ("Polska From Bingsjö"). If you already know some Scandinavian music (like JPP), it's fascinating to see similar things in a more schematic form.
This album occupies a kind of middle ground. It's entertaining and accessible in its own right, but probably not a good place for beginners. If you're already into American folk fiddling or Scandi-folk acts like Väsen, dive right in. ~ Kurt Keefner

Three Swedish Fiddlers album
 $13.65   
Taylor Swift abandons any pretense that she's a teen on her second album, FEARLESS--which isn't to say that she suddenly tarts herself up, running away from her youth in a manner that's all too familiar to many teen stars. Swift's maturation is deliberate and careful, styled after the crossover country-pop of Shania Twain and Faith Hill before they turned into divas. Despite the success of her self-titled 2006 debut, there's nothing ...

Guest vocalists include Carrie Underwood, Martina McBride, Sara Evans, LeAnn Rimes, and Amy Grant. Other guests include Anne Murray and Olivia Newton-John, the only two vocalists here whose careers intersected with Elvis chronologically.

| | Johnny Cash American IV: The Man Comes Around CD (2002) Bonus DVD
Three Swedish Fiddlers songs
$11.99 
"Give My Love To Rose" won the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance.
Includes a bonus DVD featuring a music video for the song "Hurt".
When the first volume of Johnny Cash's AMERICAN series appeared in 1994, it would have been difficult to predict its critical and commercial success, much less the fact that an illness-beset Cash would be turning out a powerful fourth installment of the series eight years later. Like its three predecessors, AMERICAN IV is a home-recorded, bare-bones Rick Rubin production wherein Cash tackles old classics by other writers as well as more contemporary tunes by artists from the rock world, with a smattering of his own new compositions thrown in. It's also arguably the strongest since the first volume.
Now that the novelty of hearing the Man in Black tackle tunes by the likes of Depeche Mode ("Personal Jesus") and Nine Inch Nails ("Hurt") has worn off, we can get past the gimmickry to fully appreciate the power of Cash's soul-baring ...
| | John Denver Definitive All-Time Greatest Hits CDs (2004) Bonus CD
Three Swedish Fiddlers album
$9.59
The title of this collection by the Jesus of 1970s soft pop makes no bones about its intentions. Fortunately, it delivers what it promises in spades. DEFINITIVE ALL-TIME GREATEST HITS chronicles the hit-packed career of John Denver without missing a trick. From his earliest, most folk-oriented material ("Leaving on a Jet Plane," a hit for Peter, Paul & Mary) to his more country-flavored compositions ("Take Me Home, Country Roads," the stomp-along "Thank God I'm a Country Boy"), we're given a full picture of Denver's abilities. Early-'80s duets with Placido Domingo ("Perhaps Love") and Emmylou Harris ("Wild Montana Skies") underscore both the far-reaching ripples Denver made in the music world and the full range of his own gifts. Such gentle, melodic ballads as "Annie's Song" ...
