 (4 Customer Reviews)
These 20 Kenny Rogers tracks provide only adequate representation of the singer's greatest hits. Unfortunately, these are re-recorded versions that should be avoided. If you're looking for the original chart-toppers like "She Believes in Me," "Through the Years," and "You Decorated My Life," your best bet is 20 Greatest Hits on EMI America. ~ Al Campbell

As satanic as anything need be, Cradle of Filth are a black metal ensemble from Suffolk, England, who've managed to keep it extreme, while being wildly popular internationally. They may be the most popular black metal band in the world because they've managed to break away from the genre's relatively small cult following and successfully infect all sorts of disaffected teenagers, ...

| | Wynn Stewart After The Storm: The Legendary Playboy Sessions CD (1976)
20 Best Of Kenny Rogers album
$11.19
Wynn Stewart was one of the great country singers, and his influence was substantial, too, but his chart success never reflected the stature of his talent. During his early '60s peak on Challenge Records, when he was one of the architects of Bakersfield country, he had only one national Top Ten country hit, and when he switched to Capitol in the second half of the '60s, he scored a number one hit with the smoothed-over country-pop of "It's Such a Pretty World Today." He had three other Top Ten hits after that, but they were glossy approximations of the light, skipping Bakersfield sound and then he pretty much dropped off the radar during the early '70s, until he signed to Playboy and turned out the fine comeback effort After the Storm. It gave him another final Top Ten hit in the title track, but more than that, it gave him one of his better albums. At the time, Playboy was best-known as the home of Mickey Gilley, the singer who managed to give the rowdy, hardcore country of his cousin Jerry Lee Lewis a bit of a softer cosmopolitan shine, opening it up to a wider audience. This was due in part to the contributions of producer Eddie Kilroy, who also helmed After the Storm and gives it the same production he would give Gilley, guiding Stewart to a selection of material that walks the line between honky tonk and country-pop, including several new Stewart originals and revivals of his classics "Wishful Thinking," "Big Big Love," and "Sing a Sad Song." These new recordings carry a nice, reflective maturity in Stewart's delivery, marking them as distinctly different versions to the originals, and the rest of the album doesn't pale in comparison, with Stewart's wry originals "Don't Monkey With My Widder" and the playfully dark "I'm Gonna Kill You" carrying the torch for Bakersfield country, with "After the Storm," "Lonely Rain," "It Always Rains on Me," and "It's Such a Pretty World Today" nicely acquitting the pop side. It may be a little slicker and softer than his Challenge recordings, but there's a wonderful lived-in feel to his performances that gives After the Storm a real resonance, making it one of his finer proper albums. Audium Records reissued After the Storm in 2003 -- marking its first appearance on CD (although it is included on Bear Family's comprehensive ten-CD box set Wishful Thinking) -- with the addition of two bonus tracks, the singles "Just Now Thought of You" and "Seasons of My Heart." Both are fine, straight-ahead honky tonk tunes, with the latter being an overlooked George Jones original that Stewart sings beautifully. ~ Stephen Thomas ...
| | Slaid Cleaves Wishbones CD (2004)
20 Best Of Kenny Rogers CD music
$14.39
Slaid Cleaves seems to have found his singer/songwriter niche recording for Philo. Broke Down, which received a warm critical reception in 2000, was filled with detailed stories of broken down lives on the edge of survival (physically as well as emotionally). Although 2004's Wishbones sounds more hopeful, the tone of the material follows the mood of the earlier album. In "Drinkin' Days," the narrator expresses regret at his wild and rowdy days, but when it comes right down to it, his life is still filled with trouble; even when a contrite loser offers a "Sinner's Prayer," there's no redemption in sight. Cleaves doesn't really get into his forte -- story-songs -- until "Tiger Tom Dixon's Blues," the fifth cut. Tales of boxers and racetracks, unfulfilled promises, and old men remembering their younger days make up Wishbones list of desperate tales. The production's a nice a mix of acoustic-electro elements with the occasional varied touch -- like the fiddle on "Below" -- to keep things interesting. Cleaves made an effort to get outside the usual singer/songwriter material by writing about other people's lives. On Wishbones, he is in good voice, and his fans will probably find several worthy songs on Wishbones. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr.
