"I Came So Far For Beauty" finds Cohen in a familiar self-effacing mode, recounting his vain search for the perfect muse. Like NEW SKIN's "There is a War," "The Traitor" effectively analyzes personal travails through militaristic metaphor, over semi-classical backing. The closing "Ballad of the Absent Mare," later covered by Emmylou Harris, comes off like an epic prose poem in the classic ballad style, but its slight cowboy lilt provides a nice contrast to the lyric. RECENT SONGS is arguably Cohen's most mature '70s effort.

After recovering from his traumatic studio experiences with Phil Spector on DEATH OF A LADIES MAN (Spector was said to have brandished a gun at some point), Cohen retreated to friendlier sonic climes. Aided by co-producer Henry Lewy, he filled RECENT SONGS with stately songpoems marked by lush (but never overdone), elegant arrangements. While there was always a pronounced literary streak in Cohen's work, the songs here find him at his most purely poetic, more the chansonnier than the troubadour.

Personnel includes: Leonard Cohen (vocals, guitar).

Zac Brown Foundation CD  (2008)

CD $11.69  4.4 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
On 2008's THE FOUNDATION, singer/guitarist Zac Brown leads his ensemble on a vibrant set of country-rock. While the Georgia-based performer is clearly comfortable with ballads (see his emotive cover of Ray LaMontagne's "Jolene"), he seems most at home on twangy, carefree tracks such as "Toes," "Chicken Fried," and "Sic `Em on a Chicken."

Garth Brooks Ultimate Hits CDs  (2007) With DVD

Recent Songs
CD $12.35  4.6 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
For a period in the early 1990s, Garth Brooks was not only the biggest star in country music, he was one of the biggest stars in music, period. An unassuming Oklahoman who fused the blue-collar ethic of new traditionalist country with an unapologetic pop side that drew on his love of 1970s rockers like Kiss and Billy Joel, Garth Brooks fundamentally changed the sound of mainstream country music in much the same way that Hank Williams had in the 1940s and Patsy Cline had in the 1950s. THE ULTIMATE HITS, a three-disc collection that is the first comprehensive career overview for Brooks, contains all of his most beloved songs in remastered sound, plus four brand-new songs and a bonus DVD containing all of Brooks's music videos. Personnel: Garth Brooks (acoustic guitar); Gordon Kennedy (acoustic guitar, electric guitar); Johnny Christopher, Mark Casstevens, Pat Alger, Pat Flynn, Shawn Camp, Steve Wariner, Wayne Kirkpatrick (acoustic guitar); Chris Leuzinger (electric guitar); Bruce Bouton (steel guitar); Jerry Douglas (dobro); Bela Fleck (banjo); Sam Bush (mandolin, fiddle); Rob Hjacos, Jimmy Mattingly (fiddle); Nashville String Machine (strings); Huey Lewis, Terry McMillan (harmonica); Joey Miskulin (accordion); Blair Masters, Bobby Wood (keyboards); Edgar Meyer (acoustic bass); Jimmie Lee Sloas, Mike Chapman (bass guitar); Ferrell Morris, Kenny Malone, Sam Bacco, Milton Sledge (drums, percussion).

Billy Currington Little Bit Of Everything CD  (2008)

Recent Songs
CD $10.89  4.5 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
True to its title, the third album by Nashville's Billy Currington throws some rock and R&B influences into his contemporary country music. A rocking blend of crunchy guitars, in-your-face drums, and more subtle traditional country instrumentation like fiddles and pedal steel characterizes the album's brash but not noisy or harsh sound. Highlights include the idyllic opener, "Swimmin' In Sunshine," a sure-thing evocation of a gorgeous lazy summer day, and the wry "That's How Country Boys Roll." Personnel: Biff Watson (acoustic guitar); Troy Lancaster, Brent Mason (electric guitar); Paul Franklin (steel guitar); Scotty Emerick (gut-string guitar); Tony Harrell (keyboards); David Smith (bass instrument); Paul Leim (drums); Chip Davis, Wes Hightower (background vocals).
