Lyle Lovett Lyle Lovett Country Music CD Review

Click HERE to Visit Learn And Master Guitar


Lyle Lovett is the latest release from Country Superstar Lyle Lovett, and I can only think of one word to describe it… AWESOME!

I wish it weren’t the case but, it’s not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Lyle Lovett. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you’ve got one of Lyle Lovett’s most impressive releases ever.

This is a first rate CD, delivering a little something for everyone. I give it my highest recommendation. It’s quite simply great listening. A must buy for the Country fan.

While the entire album is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 3 – Farther Down The Line, track 6 – If I Were The Man You Wanted, and track 10 – Closing Time.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Cowboy Man. Good stuff!

Smile is the latest release from Rock Superstar Brian Wilson, and is another great one by this talented musician.

Unfortunately, it’s not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end.

Rock music fans will recognize some of the well known contributors on the project including Dave Stone and Paul Martens plus a few other notables as well.

Overall Smile is an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up and is most definitely a worthy addition to any Rock collection. Truly an outstanding Rock CD. One of those that is completely void of any wasted time, as each track is simply superb.

While the entire album is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 5 – Old Master Painter/You Are My Sunshine, track 11 – I’m In Great Shape/I Wanna Be Around/Workshop, and track 17 – Good Vibrations.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Our Prayer/Gee. Great track!

Avril Lavigne Under My Skin Pop Music CD Review

Click HERE to Visit Learn And Master Guitar


Under My Skin is the latest release from Pop Superstar Avril Lavigne, and I can only think of one word to describe it… AWESOME!

I wish it weren’t the case but, it’s not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Under My Skin. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

Under My Skin is a nicely varied, mix of 12 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly talented artist. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are her own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.

If you’re a Avril Lavigne fan this is a CD your collection flat cannot be without. In fact, this is one of those CDs that you don’t even have to be a fan of Lavigne, or even Pop to know is good. It’s just good music. Period.

While the entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 3 – Don’t Tell Me, track 6 – My Happy Ending, and track 12 – Slipped Away.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Take Me Away. This is a great track!

Under My Skin Release Notes:

Avril Lavigne originally released Under My Skin on May 25, 2004 on the Arista Records label.

CD Track List Follows:

1. Take Me Away 2. Together 3. Don’t Tell Me 4. He Wasn’t 5. How Does It Feel 6. My Happy Ending 7. Nobody’s Home 8. Forgotten 9. Who Knows 10. Fall To Pieces 11. Freak Out 12. Slipped Away

Personnel include: Avril Lavigne (vocals); Raine Maida (guitar, keyboards); Michael Ward, Ben Moody (guitar); Evan Taubenfeld (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, drums, background vocals); Butch Walker (electric guitar, keyboards, bass guitar, percussion, programming, background vocals); Patrick Warren (strings, chamberlin, keyboards); Chantal Kreviazuk (piano); Jon O’Brien (keyboards, programming); Josh Freese, Brooks Wackerman (drums).

Is there a good book that teaches you how to play electric guitar by reading music?

I want to learn how to play electric guitar. I studied piano for 5 years so I can read music. I have done some research online and downloaded some books for beginners but they all seem to teach tab reading which is confusing to me.
