Shinedown-Leave a Whisper CD

I have followed JT’s career from the very start, right back to his struggling —˜N …
Doll Domination by Pussycat Dolls
Is it me, or is Pussycat Dolls sounding more mellow by the day..? I can’t help to say that, and it is quite evident when I listened to the tracks in Doll Domination by Pussycat Dolls. They are sounding normal by the day and the tunes are not …
A-punk by Vampire Weekend Music Video
Random yet consistent. Any fans of Vampire Weekend know that these two words describe the band pretty well. They also describe the A-punk music video. Even though the video is very simple and has a low production value it can’t help but grab your attention and …

Country Music Singer Martina McBride
Female country music singer, Martina McBride is one of my favorite singers. She has a habit of singing songs that are about strong women rather than the whiny songs that most country singers have a tendency to sing. Her music makes women feel as though they have the power …

Invasion - Eisley
I have a certain fondness for folky pop music, and an even greater fondness for female rock singers. Eisley is an amazing example of both these qualities, and “Invasion” is one of my favorite songs in their catalog. Making a song in the folk/pop genre as interesting as this …
Soulja Boy
I hear so much hype over Soulja boy. So many little kids run around singing, that “hop up out the bed song”, including my little cousins. At first I liked Soulja Boy, ever since he came out with his first song, “Crank that Soulja Boy”. I liked the beat …
Carrie Underwood “Last Name”
I have heard this song many times and find it to be a horrible song for our youth. Miss Underwood portrays herself to be a small town simple girl with a very faith based background. Now I don’t know her denomination of religion but I but its safe to …

The John Tesh Project: Pure Movies 2 CD

Phoenix’s album - Amadeus
When I first heard Phoenix’s new songs off of ‘Amadeus’ I found it to be absolutely amazing. My favorite tracks off it would have to be ‘Fences, and 1901′ the most popular tracks indeed. Although I found that after thorough listening, almost every song on the album began to …

Disintegration, 1989 Album by The Cure

Green Day-American Idiot CD
This is an ambitious work from a long-standing fan favorite. When Green Day emerged with silly punk tunes ten years ago, no one would have ever imagined they would rise to such heights. This is an epic work. While it does have songs that are easily …
Meghan Trainor - Like I’m Gonna Lose You (feat. John Legend)
From the moment I first heard “All About the Bass” more than a year ago, I instantly fell in love with Meghan Trainor. She gave something that not only reminded me of the 80’s but also the fact that she’s a newcomer, and with a concept that she’s trying …

Adam Lambert

Fall by Clay Walker (Song)
Clay Walker is one of those old-fashioned country singers who has been around since like the 1970s. Wonderful singer, wonderful performer and he has quite the heart for people. I haven’t heard much from him lately, but this is one of his older songs that I really enjoyed in …
The Velvet Underground - The Murder Mystery (Song)
