 (4 Customer Reviews)
Josh Rouse's follow-up to his critically acclaimed album 1972 ventures still deeper into the territory of mellow, nostalgia-tinged '70s FM radio, and this time the results are a little less Philly soul and a little more Laurel Canyon. The gently lilting "Winter in the Hamptons" and "Saturday" find Rouse nestled comfortably between the Rolling Stones' "Tops" and Bob Dylan's "Sweetheart Like You" on the jukebox, while "Carolina" is so light it could make James Taylor cry into his lemonade. Tinkly piano floats under Rouse's breathy vocals on "Sad Eyes" in a manner sure to enhance any romantic yearning to the point of pain, while a boogie-woogie vibe turns up on "Why Won't You Tell Me What." It's great to see this Nebraska singer/songwriter stepping unashamedly into the AOR-ready troubadour mold left empty for decades, and it's a role he inhabits beautifully and proudly. Incidentally, the title of the album refers more to geography (Rouse lived in Nashville for a decade), than rhinestone-spangled cowboy style, though some nice pedal-steel guitar does sweeten up a few tracks.

Josh Rouse Nashville Songs Purchase Nashville CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Nashville album
 $6.39 
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 ...

| | Josh Rouse 1972 CD (2003)
Nashville music CDs
$10.15
Initial pressings of 1972 contain a bonus DVD featuring the "Love Vibration" music video and a Josh Rouse documentary film.
From the period-specific cover design to the mellow grooves within, Josh Rouse's 2003 release 1972 is something of a time machine. With its feel-good vibes, earthy structures, and gorgeously crisp, expansive production (courtesy of Brad Jones), the album effortlessly transports us to the year in question. Moreover, it's clear that Rouse has been doing his homework--his excellent batch of songs bears the influence of '70 songwriters like Carole King, Marvin Gaye, and James Taylor, and groups like America and Fleetwood Mac. But Rouse is no mere mimic; he blends his inspirations with flair. His stylistic melange contains clear reference points, yet stands in its own bell-bottomed jeans.
When the intimate, singer/songwriter ...
| | Bright Eyes I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning CD (2005)
Nashville songs
$10.89
In early 2005, young indie icon Conor Oberst (AKA Bright Eyes) unveiled two full-length albums--I'M WIDE AWAKE, IT'S MORNING and DIGITAL ASH IN A DIGITAL URN. Whereas the latter proved to be a departure into electronic music, the former sticks to Oberst's established sound, which combines the urgency and heart-on-the-sleeve sentiment of emo-rock with twangy, down-home feel of alt-country and folk music.
I'M WIDE AWAKE begins with Oberst telling a story that morphs into "At the Bottom of Everything," a jangly, upbeat tune featuring My Morning Jacket's Jim James on backing vocals. Throughout the record, Oberst reaches nearly hysterical peaks, ...

Nashville album
$10.49 
Josh Rouse's seventh album Subtitulo is a warm and relaxed affair, much more so than any of his already quite warm and relaxed previous records. Produced again by Brad Jones, Rouse and a small group (Rouse on acoustic guitar, Jones on bass and pianos, Marc Pisapia on drums and percussion, some pedal steel from Pete Finney, and occasional strings provided by Chris Carmichael) recorded these ten songs in Rouse's new home country of Spain, Puerto de Santa Maria to be exact, and the album that resulted is perfect for dreaming a siesta away. His pure and easy vocals, gently strummed chords that nuzzle up against one another like drowsy ...

Nashville album
$9.35
Born and raised in New Orleans, Charles Milling grew up feeling time backwards. Rock and Pop had conviction and smack yet lacked a backbeat...so he superimposed it in his imagination. Folk and Classical lacked smack and jam, so he re-did the pieces he liked to his own drum tracks and bass lines. Jazz chord changes were exquisite but needed kick and snare to move them along. Funk songs had pocket but often trite lyrical content. Thus, Charles Milling has been creating his own form of songwriting and arranging that is his own version of 'perfection' from the age of ten.At sixteen years of age, Charles had found his drummer, bassist and pianist... it just took him ...
