 (9 Customer Reviews)
From the opening guitar riffs of THE DREAMER's first song, "Heavy Lifting," it's clear that there's more than a little rock & roll in Blake Shelton's country music, but that doesn't mean the lad hasn't got a sense of Music City history. In case you thought the country tradition of trucking songs died out with Dave Dudley, Shelton serves to remind that it's very much alive--though now decked out with modern-sounding rhythm loops--on "Asphalt Cowboy." "In My Heaven" finds Shelton imagining his version of paradise, a place where there's no violence, loneliness, or dishonesty. The album's working-man-with-heart-of-gold stance, widescreen power chords, and anthemic choruses suggest that Shelton is something of a country Springsteen, but the bottleneck guitar on "My Neck of the Woods" and the honky-tonk fiddle of "Georgia in a Jug" leave little doubt as to the side of the Mason-Dixon line on which his heart resides.
With his 2001 gold debut album and the #1 country hit 'Austin', Blake Shelter helped lead the back-to-country movement. Now R&R's 2001 breakthrough artist of the year once again sings earnestly and passionately about family and best friends, hard work and dreams on his 2nd album. Featuring 'The Baby'. Warner. 2003.

Dreamer album
 $9.75   
Oklahoman Blake Shelton is firmly entrenched in the Nashville tradition of ballads with strings, unabashed sentimentality, and old-time rock & roll. The country staple subjects of dogs, women, and cars all make appearances in his workmanlike debut that aims straight for sound of heartland America.
Shelton has all the attributes of the quintessential Nashville male singer, from cowboy hat to his lonesome, world-weary tenor voice, and he's not shy about tugging at the heartstrings in songs such as "Austin" and "I Thought There Was Time," before rocking out on the blue-collar anthem "Same Old Song." There's a nod to country roots in "That's What I Call Home," while "Problems At Home" is equally ...
| | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Dreamer CD music
$6.39 
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' ...
| | Joe Nichols Man With A Memory CD (2002)
Dreamer music CDs
$6.69
If you think that photogenic young country singer Joe Nichols looks more like a Calvin Klein model than a honky-tonk warrior, just count your blessings that he doesn't feel bound to don an ill-fitting cowboy hat in the vain quest for the kind of phony image purveyed by far too many of his peers. Similarly, MAN WITH A MEMORY finds Nichols unafraid of sounding contemporary without completely abandoning his country roots. There's no hokey, half-assed western swing number tossed in here for "authenticity;" instead, the songs seamlessly blend rock, pop, and country in a manner that finds Nichols sounding equally at home with all three. That said, he does possess enough of a sense of history to pay homage to country legend Tom T. Hall by covering "Life Don't Have to Mean Nothin' ...
| | Dierks Bentley CD (2003) Enhanced CD
Dreamer songs
$10.15
Though the front cover of country singer/songwriter Dierks Bentley's debut album finds him posing with a floppy-eared dog and looking like a prime-time TV star, he's considerably hipper than that image might suggest. For one thing, he doesn't employ the members of the Nashville studio mafia who seem to crop up on ...
