16 Most Requested Songs is a jazz CD featuring Louis Armstrong on trumpet and vocals. The music is medium-tempo, fast enough to dance to but not overly exciting. Louis Armstrong has a somewhat rough voice for a singer but I enjoy listening to him sing- it sounds …

Pick ‘Em Up, Lay ‘Em Down by Toby Keith is the complete opposite of what we have been used to hearing from Toby Keith throughout his career. The song is about a man who doesn’t just go play around with whatever woman comes along and then forget about her. …

This was the record that introduced me to Cypress Hill, and I liked it a lot back when I started listening to it, and I still think that it is a very good record. In actual fact, even now, when I have heard all the Cypress Hill records, and …

I love Musiq’s album Loveandmusiq, but I’m not really feeling this new album he has out. The album is selling like crazy, but I feel that it’s missing the great songs that would make it a great album.
I guess you can’t expect an artist to make a hit …

If I were a record company executive, I would definitely sign up Kenyan rock band Murfy’s Flaw. Three things make this band appealing to me. First of all, five out of six of the band members are female. Being female myself, I can only celebrate this fact since the …

I bought Let Go because of the popular songs “Complicated” and “I’m With You”. I didn’t really know anything about Avril Lavigne at the time. But I’m glad that I bought her CD because it’s great. It’s actually one of my most played CDs. Most of her songs grow …

Rust In Peace is Megadeth’s fourth album released in 1990 on Capital Records. The album could be my favorite by the band, it is really complex in every way, still as fast and aggressive as the previous albums, only deeper in lyrical matter and style this time around. Hangar …

Taking Chances seemed very appropriate as the album title was taken by Celine Dion. By presenting some old songs and some new songs, which differ with the type of songs that had been sung. Dion to make a change. Since her last album, A New

If you can find something that distinguishes R. Kelly’s “Burn It Up” music video from Faith Evans’ “Burning Up” music video, other than the fact this is like a male-led version, you will get a date with any of the …

I suppose the important thing to note about The Outsiders soundtrack being reviewed is that it’s the soundtrack CD released in Germany. It’s important to mention because it doesn’t match completely what is on the American version, or in the American movie at any rate.
The Outsiders has an …

Thought I Knew is a song by Weezer which appears on their self-titled record, specifically The Red Album. What’s interesting about Thought I Knew is that it actually isn’t sung by Cuomo which is quite rare to hear in a Weezer song, although I believe there a few songs …

Private Ave is a song by Green Day which appears on their record Kerplunk. The song starts off with a repetitive guitar riff along with a slight lead over it before Armstrong comes in with the vocals for the verse. One problem I have thus far with the …

Back Door Man is a song which appears on The Doors’ self-titled debut record which is a cover of a Willie Dixon track. What I simply have to praise about this song, even as it’s just about forty-five seconds in is that it has a very nice laid-back groove …

Overview - The Johnson Reptone 15 guitar amplifier, the second amp I ever owned, is truly just an amp that only a complete beginner should be limited to using - and even for a beginner I would avoid buying this amp. The only reason that I used this amplifier …

I like when singers perform they act accoustic because it’s shows to their fans about their real vocal quality. Like this one, Nobody’s home singing by Avril Lavigne. I don’t know where’s Avril Lavigne perform accousticly, I just hear it in bonus track in her second album, Under My …
