Wade in the Water, Vol. 2: African American Congregational Singing -- 19th Century Roots offers a glimpse into the long history of black congregational vocals and worshiping practices, a tradition dating back centuries that once accounted for much of the oral transmission passed from generation to generation. Fascinatingly, the songs are never rehearsed; singers learn while they perform, and while organized gospel choirs have since become more widely recognized, the congregational style still thrives. Six of the modern era's most stirring representatives -- among them the McIntosh County Shouters, the Seniorlites, and the Rev. C.J. Johnson & Family -- are featured on this disc. ~ Jason Ankeny Wade In The Water, Vol. 2: African American Congregational Singing - 19th Century Roots Music Wade In The Water, Vol. 2: African American Congregational Singing - 19th Century Roots Songs

OOPS!... I DID IT AGAIN was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album. "Oops!...I Did It Again" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
This second album by the former Mouseketeer turned nymphet heartthrob breaks little new ground compared to BABY ONE MORE TIME. The formula here remains, deliberately, the same: a candy-colored mix of Eurodance, hip-hop, and old-fashioned pop ballads. As before, the lyrics split the difference between "Baby, I love you so bad," as in "Can't Make You Love Me," and "Sorry, I think of you just as a friend," ...

Having helped bring ghetto slang like "It's all good" and "fo'shezzy, fo'shizzle" to the mainstream (and all the way to the 'burbs in some cases), West Coaster E-40 has earned his place among hip-hop's groundbreakers. His 2006 album, MY GHETTO REPORT CARD, produced by Lil John and Rick Rock, is evidence that 40's innovative musical style continues to influence ...
