| | Ray Mason Three Dollar Man CD Ray Mason Discography of CDs
Twenty years into a casual career that's never ventured beyond the smallest of cult audiences, most of it in and around his western Massachusetts home base, Ray Mason delivered his best album yet. 2002's Three Dollar Man is a brief but captivating set of rootsy pop songs that have the soul and country influences of Don Dixon's solo work (the title track, a soulful and dramatic '70s-style ballad with piano and organ accents, sounds like Dixon channeling Todd Rundgren) along with a new emphasis on catchy hooks and spunky British Invasion-style melodies that give the album the sort of giddy retro twang of Marshall Crenshaw's early work. All ten songs are immediately catchy, from the shingaling pop of "Blessing the Girl" to the rockabilly-tinged rave-up "Reverb and a Zip Code" to the spookier atmospherics of "Ear for Rain." There's also a quirky sense of humor in play here that's rarely been in evidence on Mason's earlier albums, with the NRBQ-style power pop of "I've Got a Good Dentist" and the club-owner two-step "You'll Never Play Here Again," both as funny as they are memorable. Unpretentious and lovable, Three Dollar Man is a roots pop delight. ~ Stewart Mason

Purchase Three Dollar Man CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Michael Buble Crazy Love CD (2009)
Three Dollar Man album
 $14.49    
Buoyed by the popularity of the hit contemporary pop ballad "Home," singer Michael Bublé's 2005 album, IT'S TIME, clearly positioned the vocalist as the preeminent neo-crooner of his generation. Easily the singer's most stylistically wide-ranging album so far, 2009's CRAZY LOVE is also one of his brightest, poppiest, and most fun. Bublé kicks things off with the theatrical, epic ballad "Cry Me a River" and proceeds to milk the tune with burnished breath, eking out the drama line by line. It's over the top for sure, but Bublé takes you to the edge of the cliff, prepares to jump, and then gives you a knowing wink that says, not quite yet -- there's more fun to be had. And what fun it is with Bublé swinging through ...

Three Dollar Man CD music
$10.09 
After the initial shock fades, the existence of CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART seems perhaps inevitable. After all, the thing Bob Dylan loves most of all are songs that are handed down from generation to generation, songs that are part of the American fabric, songs so common they never seem to have been written. ...

Three Dollar Man songs
$15.55 
ABBEY ROAD, recorded in the summer of 1969, was the last album recorded by the Beatles (LET IT BE was released in 1970, but recorded in early '69).
This reissue of ABBEY ROAD has been digitally re-mastered. It comes packaged with replicated original U.K. album art, an expanded booklet containing original and newly written liner notes, and rare photos. Limited quantities of the CD are embedded with a brief documentary film about the album.
After the laborious disorganization and infighting that characterized early 1969's LET IT BE sessions (as famously captured on film), the fractious four were willing ...
| | 30 Seconds To Mars This Is War CD (2009)
Three Dollar Man album
$12.24 
On This Is War, 30 Seconds to Mars shift their music with the shifting times, adopting a hybrid of the Killers' retro new wave and My Chemical Romance's gothic prog, winding up with a sound that suits their stance. Producers Steve Lillywhite and Flood, both veterans of U2, do give This Is War an appropriately epic scale, helping to bring into focus this mix of synth rock, metal, and prog flavors with Auto-Tuned vocals, gurgling synthesized loops, Kanye cameos, and a children's choir on almost every other song. This move toward goth-glam requires 30 Seconds to emphasize hooks and gives them aural variety, which makes this their most appealing album. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Emotional bloodletting never quite fit 30 Seconds to Mars -- perhaps it was residual prejudice from Jared Leto's status as actor-turned-musician, but they always seemed to skim the surface, ...
| | Shakira She Wolf CD (2009)
Three Dollar Man CD music
$11.18
Last time around, Shakira touched upon so many styles she couldn't be contained on one album, splitting Oral Fixation in two. This time, she focuses on one sound only: a pulsating electro-disco that crosses all boundaries and welcomes all nationalities. Such concentration behooves Shakira, freeing her to release her inner She Wolf, a wild wacko who's as coo coo as she is carnal. And for as sexy as Shakira is -- crucially, her music is sexy too -- what really gives She Wolf its bite is her inspired nuttiness, how she laments that Matt Damon's not meant for her, and wishes her ex-lover ...

Three Dollar Man CD music
$16.39
this cd is by request. it has been rumored that richard murrey didn't really care about doing "the blues"! why? well, he knows there's some awesome blues on the spacecoast. some strong players and deep grooves of blueness, so richard and the chevy fords gravitated towards more of a solid, straight on rock style. a few earlier examples of the blues crept in on previous projects and everytime they were played out, they got a rousing response and requests to continue "da blooze". why peoples was tossing babies in the air and yelling fer more. richard took all of this to heart and looked inside the soul where he's lived and played the "blooze" most of his life and so this collection found it's way to the studio and completion. just hope other bluesmen will find "blueness" in this... relate and groove on it. hope this will be the medicine lotza folks need to get by. once again, produced by steven cooper.wutz on the platter:"nightcandy"... yeah, when a womanz wantz her manz, he finds a way to get to her and make everything jest fine."lord oh lord"... ever have one of those vivid dream/visions of things to come... and you get religion real fast? worked for me."little bit jumpy"... you've seen the gal out in the crowd... the one that's really into the groove ...
