 (7 Customer Reviews)
A runaway success in the UK, EYE TO THE TELESCOPE, KT Tunstall's debut, finally hit the States in early 2006, a year after its initial release. On this assured 12-song set, the Scottish singer/songwriter mines a charmingly sensitive and intelligent vein of pop/rock that positions her somewhere in between Beth Orton and Sheryl Crow. The key to Tunstall's sound is her resonant and soulful voice, and the album's bold, but never over-the-top production only serves to further enhance her songs. Though the highlights of the disc include the jangly "Another Place to Fall," the eminently catchy "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree," and the shuffling "Suddenly I See," the entire record is surprisingly solid, easily ensuring a bright future for Tunstall.

Most of her songs are not like Black Horse And A Cherry Tree, but they are folksie, stompy and have an aura like a cloudy day in the Irish country side. If she bridges the gap between her sound and the energy that those who listen the radio need for it to be catchy but engaging at he same time, she will due just fine.

Aewesome new star!
I'm a 48-year old male, and haven't heard music as good as this from one artist in many years! "Suddenly I See," "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree," are outstanding. However, there are other great gems here: the very rythmic "Another Place to Fall" faintly reminds me of the Beatles Rubber Soul music, and "False Alarm" has a very gypsy folk sound to it. Thia artist definitely needs more exposure...has she been signed to do a gig on Saturday Night Live or Jay Leno?

I love this CD. I'm going to wear it out I'm playing it so much. Very strong debut. Bought the CD for Black Horse and a Cherry Tree, but love it for several other songs, including "Me, the Universe and You". You won't be disappointed. I'm looking forward to future releases by this artist and hope she continues to explore and take chances with her singing. Really like the upbeat rhythms of "Suddenly I See" and "Black Horse".

Purchase Eye To The Telescope CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Eye To The Telescope album
 $6.19  
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' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine."
Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling Stone Ron Wood also turns up on what sounds dangerously close to a lounge version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing," but this minor faux pas is redeemed by the Irish folk medley "Joy of Life/Trout ...

| | Dixie Chicks Taking The Long Way CD (2006)
Eye To The Telescope music CDs
$9.49 
At the time of TAKING THE LONG WAY's release, the lyrical content of a high-profile album by a big-deal artist hadn't been the topic of such public scrutiny since Eminem was still a hot topic. The Dixie Chicks certainly had to have seen this coming, though, after they withstood a firestorm of insults, threats, and boycotts for criticizing George W. Bush's policies. "Not Ready to Make Nice" and "Lubbock or Leave It" (among others) make it clear, however, that the Chicks have no intention of retreating a single step from their convictions. Similarly, the fact that TAKING THE LONG WAY is as much a pop album as it is contemporary country should not be misinterpreted as an abandonment of the factions that turned against the group during the controversy in question.
The soaring pop choruses and dashes of string orchestration that vie for space with acoustic picking and steel guitar swells should rather be seen in the context of a group that's been evolving toward a pop/country amalgam for some time. (Don't forget that one of their biggest hits was a Fleetwood Mac cover.) If anything, the expansive sonic approach and forthright themes simply stand to show that the Chicks have ...

Eye To The Telescope songs
$13.45
Scottish singer-songwriter KT Tunstall's debut, EYE TO THE TELESCOPE, proved the artist's mettle as a soulful pop chanteuse falling somewhere between Dido and Fiona Apple, yet it also underscored her unique sense of songcraft and powerfully earnest sensibility. The album's highly polished production is a bit distracting, however, which is one of the reasons the 10-song ...

Spurred in large part by Katharine McPhee's energetic renditions of KT Tunstall's infectious debut single "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" on the 2006 season of AMERICAN IDOL, the Scottish singer-songwriter became a somewhat unlikely mainstream pop star. Second album DRASTIC FANTASTIC refines the mix of alternative rock, Delta blues, and singer-songwriter folk that ...
