| | Taylor Swift Fearless CD Taylor Swift Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
Karaoke version of the teenage country superstar's second album, taken from the original masters.
Most karaoke discs were recorded quickly and inexpensively by faceless studio musicians--or even just one guy with a bank of synthesizers--and they sound like it: cheesy, trashy, and just plain cheap. But the Walt Disney Corporation understands that there is a market for better quality karaoke discs in its target demographic, and so Disney properties like HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL, HANNAH MONTANA, and CAMP ROCK have all had karaoke discs released that feature better-quality graphics (including the onscreen lyrics, which are clearer and easier to read) and quite often the backing tracks from the original soundtracks of the shows. Taylor Swift's FEARLESS KARAOKE is the first single-artist karaoke album to have this treatment: the songs here are taken directly from the original masters of the teenage country sensation's second album for the most authentic Taylor Swift karaoke experience
Taylor Swift abandons any pretense that she's a teen on her second album, FEARLESS--which isn't to say that she suddenly tarts herself up, running away from her youth in a manner that's all too familiar to many teen stars. Swift's maturation is deliberate and careful, styled after the crossover country-pop of Shania Twain and Faith Hill before they turned into divas. Despite the success of her self-titled 2006 debut, there's nothing at all diva-like about Swift on FEARLESS: she's soft-spoken and considerate, a big sister instead of a big star. Nowhere is this truer than on "Fifteen," a kind warning for a teen to watch her heart sung from the perspective of a woman who's perhaps twice that age--a sly trick for the 18-year-old Swift. There may be a hint of youthfulness to her singing but that's the only hint of girlishness here; her writing--and she had a hand in penning all 13 tracks here, with six of them bearing her solitary credit--is sharply, subtly crafted and the music is softly assured, never pushing its hooks too hard. Like many country-pop albums of the 2000s, the pop heavily outweighs the country--there aren't fiddles here, there are violins--yet the production never feels garish, a crass attempt at a crossover success. It's small-scale and sweetly tuneful, always seeming humble even when the power ballads build to a big close. Swift's gentle touch is as enduring as her songcraft, and this musical maturity may not quite jibe with her age but it does help make FEARLESS one of the best mainstream pop albums of 2008.
This DVD/CD combo includes the CD plus graphics with lyrics and the original album tracks from Taylor's second album, Fearless.

Fearless album
 $9.59    
Part of the Great AMERICAN IDOL album flood of late 2006, Kellie Pickler's solo debut features a winning set of country-pop tunes. Even though many other celebrated former contestants on the reality-TV show issued records around the same time, the North Carolina-based Pickler, with her easy-going Carrie Underwood-meets-Jessica Simpson charm, easily stood out from the pack, particularly with her carefree and slightly twangy single, "Red High Heels."

| | Toby Keith 35 Biggest Hits CDs (2008)
Fearless songs
$15.09
While the two-disc 35 BIGGEST HITS is far from the first Toby Keith hits collection, it's easily his most comprehensive to date, including the biggest songs from every stage of the country superstar's first 15 years. It moves from early hits like "A Little Less Talk and a Lot More Action," which found him coming on like an Alan Jackson-esque New Traditionalist, to catchy, in-your-face anthems like "How Do You Like Me Now" and "I Wanna Talk About Me." Naturally, it also contains Keith's controversial post-9/11 "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)," as well as his most mature work, such as latter-day smashes "Big Blue Note" and "A Little Too Late." It all adds up to a definitive portrait of an American original.

Fearless CD music
$15.65 
Like no Nashville-based female singer since Mary Chapin Carpenter, Taylor Swift brings a charming folkie singer-songwriter quality to her self-titled debut album. Writing or co-writing all 11 songs, including the giddy debut single "Tim McGraw," Swift favors crisp acoustic guitars over weepy pedal steels, and the overall vibe of the album evokes vintage Carly Simon as much as it does the real Mrs. Tim McGraw, Faith Hill. That Swift is this insightful both musically and lyrically at only 16 bodes well for both her own career and the future of Nashville.

| | Front Porch Country Band Here We Go Again CD (2009)
Fearless songs
$15.19
Here We Go Again. Back from The World China Tour, following their meteoric rise to worldwide prominence on the world's largest internet music subscriber system — with more than one million song plays and a dozen Worldwide Number One Hits on internet charts from their first two albums — The Front Porch Country Band is back and at it again. Here’s their creative explosion of 14 hot new recordings featuring their own brand of Original American Country. You’re on a musical odyssey stretching across North America, "...like the thunder of a runaway freight train barrelin' down Main Street at midnight...combined with the freshness of a front porch swing swayin' gently in the cool country breeze after a soft summer rain."Every track commands close attention. "It’s been a labor of love," says the band, "about places we've been, or still want to get to.” All performed with their trademark energy and emotion, showcasing their soaring 6-part harmonies and the dazzling play of one of America's greatest guitar bands. You’ve hitched a ride from the northern Canadian border to the southern Mississippi delta, from the sun-drenched western Pacific to the eastern blue Atlantic, with brief stops in Alaska, Hawaii, Europe, and Asia."This band is different, and they're proud of it," say industry writers. “They're a Pennsylvania country band that travels the world from their home north of the Mason-Dixon line. They hear, write, and perform country music differently. They call it North Country.” This band has successfully flown below Nashville's radar to take their stories around the globe as America's ambassadors of Original American Country. As musicians, these players are so versatile they can write and perform in any classic style. From Country Rock to Acoustic Folk. From Carribean Island to Mountain Bluegrass. From Doo-Wop to Rock & Roll. You name it, they create and play it. There’s a word for their brand of music — Timeless.Have songs. Will travel. Here we go again.

| | 9 Dirty1 CD (2009)
Fearless CD music
$13.15
9Dirty1 is a group of five. We consist of three brothers and two friends all of whom are males. We fall under the label of "N'Struktion Productions" or otherwise named ("NSP"). After being signed to Infinity Music Group and not receiving the exposure we felt we deserved we decided not to renegotiate our contract. At that time we were called, NSP. I kept the name for my own Indie Label and as a reminder of what not to do. NSP as a group was no more. Hence came 9Dirty1 (Derived from our city's area code, Nine Thirty One) together in the city of Clarksville, TN. with the intentions of bringing that Groove back with Dirty South lyrics. Although most of our ventures have been held mostly to the Southern areas we are now venturing out. After four years and three albums later we're obliged to finally entertain you wherever you may be. So from 9Dirty1 to you, Welcome to the Dirty South... ENJOY!

| | Long Riders CD (1980) Import
Fearless songs
$27.95
Ry Cooder's soundtrack for The Long Riders received a top-notch treatment from Warner Bros. (Japan), who not only did an excellent remastering job, but backed it up with English lyrics to the songs, notes, and a Japanese insert. Cooder was in fine form with this score, using original material, unusual and anachronistic instruments (saz, tamboura, electric guitar), and elements of traditional songs from the Civil War period. As a result, the album can be appreciated as a unique entity, away from the film -- and bonded to the film, the music provides grace and power to the onscreen events. ~ Steven McDonald
