 Oh Wow another haunting classic, 2010-08-26
I am almost afraid to review this CD as nothing I say will do it justice. But its so good I have to tell the world. For those of you who have enjoyed the other Campbell and Lanegan records well the quality continues into this record. For those of you who have never heard of them I wish I was like you, as I could then buy all three at once and hear them for the first time. This is a truly remarkable CD, its hard to describe for most of the pleasure is in the vocals and you have to hear them to know it, however if you put a gun to my head I would say that they sound like a reincarnation of Sandy Denny and a tuneful Tom Waits (but enjoyable to listen to) The music is largely acoustic blues but with some notable exceptions where electric guitars make a raucous appearance, the music also takes note from country and folk, its soulful without being soul but most of all haunting.

Black Country Communion
Strong Debut, 2010-08-08
Just a quick review as a full one will be up on the site soon... Black Country Communion is a damn fine throwback to '70s classic rock and shows four legendary artists creating one of the best albums of the year. The guitar work on Song of Yesterday is very seductive, and no doubt most people have already heard One Last Soul which is possibly the most accessible and commercial song on the album.

Poetry, 2010-08-30
I have been a fan of J.M for many years going right back to Jack and Diane in 1982
I have eagerly awaited his every release ever since,some have been good, some not so, and some have
been sheer brilliance.Past albums Scarecrow, the lonesome jubilee,Rough Harvest and his last release
Life,Death,Love and Freedom were all milestone albums in a ever maturing artists career.Can it get any better?
It Just did!The man's a Poet.And as a Previous reviewer has said about touring the U.K. C'mon John, you have many loyal
fans over here,lets have a tour.

A refreshing breeze!, 2010-08-31
At last some real musical talent! in the form of rumer with her debut 'Slow'. If there is any justice and taste in the music industry, then this lady will be Big! I for one certainly hope so. Karen carpenter soundalike or not, this women makes a refreshing change from all the ongoing samey music out there that continues to bombard us. A beautiful, smooth, clear, relaxing voice. There is certainly a gap in the market. Hope Rumer fills it, and puts the rest to shame!

Jason Derulo
Jason De Rulo's Debut Dynamite, 2010-05-14
Jason De Rulo is certainly a bright prospect with some soulful and enlightening words advocating his perspective on love. This album has three pre released songs- the first three in the track lisiting which have begun to pall as prior to this album I had already downloaded off ITunes and listened to them so often that they had begun to grate although all three are fantastic songs. However the other songs are also worthwhile and all have catchy beats and strong lyrics. Jason is particularly strong on Fallen where he sings about other famous couples like Beyonce and Jay and Michelle and Barack Obama to emphasise his love and adoration for his girl and Encore where he begs a girl for a further sexual liaison or "encore". What If is his particular stand out track though with its soulful and melodic lyrics and tune. This album is a must have for any R&B fan and at just 10 tracks every cut stands out and there is no filler. Jason may fade into obscurity yet but this album is a triumph.

Kings of Leon
Already on course to be one of the year's biggest sellers, Only By the Night has sealed Kings of Leon's unlikely position as Britain's favourite American rock band. The Followill brothers (and cousin) have always been tagged as part of a southern rock tradition of family bands such as the Allmans and Lynyrd Skynyrd, a label they vehemently refuted. But the skinny lads certainly looked like a classic rock act, even as they took musical inspiration from indie contemporaries The Strokes and eighties new wave acts such as The Cure and New Order. Only By the Night is effectively a sequel to 2006's terrific Because of the Times, their third record and the f...
Only by the Night-Kings of Leon, 2010-08-31
Superb album BBC keep playing tracks when showing trailers for progs. Hopefully they KOL keep on track and produce some more quality music (gig reports indicate they are loosing the plot).

Mindblowing, 2010-08-31
This band remind me of several others but as other reviews have pointed out, EE defy categorisation. Just be reassured that they are inventive, quirky, strange, funky, graceful and thrillingly catchy.
For all the vocal and musical dynamics, they distinguish themselves from most of the current pack by having superb songcraft too.
And 'Nasa is on your side' will likely be my tune of the year, although it is difficult to single out one track from this highly consistent Lp.

Much better than expected, 2010-08-28
Im not a fan of the band but when i read some of the reviews I was drawn to listen to the album and I love it.Its powerful rock with an alternative twist. The songs are well crafted,intelligent and creative. This is one of my albums of the year along with crystal castles II & MIA's MAYA. Unlike most people I think this is a positive step forward from the first album. Great stuff
