Wide Open Spaces

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Country
by: Dixie Chicks

September 21, 1998
Introducing us to their rhythmic and melodious country/rock style, and their infectiously candid and assertive manner that would later get them rather unfairly into political hot water, the feisty Dallas trio's first mainstream album is a fantastic example of country music that has been made accessible to a wider audience.

The Chicks are entertaining, they sound as if they really had a lot of fun making this album, and their performances are full of spirit and energy - they're a joy to listen to. The album also has heart and soul, there's a lot of humanity in the lyrics which might not be immediately obvious to the casual listener.

However, I did feel that they were holding something back on these recordings, there ... Read More:

Dylan (3CD) (Deluxe Edition)

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Country
by: Bob Dylan

October 01, 2007
The incentive to get the De Luxe Edition of this CD is the packaging of it.I mean for a start this won't be available for long.
But with all this Dylan in the catalog surely the time is right for one of his recent covers done on his tours

There You'll Be: The Very Best Of Faith Hill

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Country
by: Faith Hill

October 15, 2001
Faith Hill is a legend in country music, but I do find her to have a more `rock' take on country, which I love. You do also get the great slow, sad songs which are just so well written.

In this greatest hits album you have some of the best songs faith has done, although there are some even better songs which failed to make it on to this cd, don't know why, but its still an amazing collection .

Every song on here is great ( with the exception of `over the rainbow' never cared for that song).
A classic collection.

The Best Of

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Country
by: Johnny Cash

April 06, 1998
This is a re-record from 1998-ish. I own it - I was on holiday and in desperate need of some Johnny when I bought it. Unfortunately this is rubbish. Spend your money elsewhere. There are much better albums out there with the original recordings!

20 Golden Greats

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Country
by: Glen Campbell

October 08, 1990
Glen Campbell is one of the greatest and most versatile performers of our time. Many of the songs on this CD promote "a good feel factor!" His version 'Only Make believe' is by far the best I have ever heard and 'All I have to dream' is also very good.

19 great songs by a great artist represents a great purchase in anyones language!

Border Town: the Very Best of J.D. Souther

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Country
by: J.D. Souther

October 01, 2007
JD Souther has long been known to afficionados of West Coast music as the writer of a string of hits for others, and as a superb performer in his own right. This compilation, together with a new EP and a forthcoming new album (his first since 1984), should give his music the higher profile that it so richly deserves.

Hits written or co-written by Souther include several Eagles tracks ('New Kid in Town', 'Best of My Love', 'Heartache Tonight', 'Victim of Love') and others recorded by artists as diverse as Linda Ronstadt, George Strait, Glenn Campbell and James Taylor. The enduring appeal of Souther's compositions is underscored by the Eagles' choice of a Souther song for the first single off their new album.

This album showcasing his performing career is ... Read More:

Kitty Daisy and Lewis

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Country
by: Kitty Daisy & Lewis

July 28, 2008
Wonderful, infectious, unaffected, honest, direct, delicious, good old-fashioned, wholly entertaining, aural experience. Just driven up to Edinburgh with this blasting on CD. Four of us - we all loved it. A teeny teeny bit evocative of the great George Melley in live performance -in nicest possible way (powerful immediacy and gusto, we mean). Heard it on R4's 'Loose Ends' on Saturday 2nd August and ordered at once. BTW recommended on the cover to turn volume up to max for maximum enjoyment. We did.

Completely Hooked: the Best of Dr. Hook

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Country
by: Dr. Hook

June 01, 1992
Dr Hook and the Medicine show (as they were originally named) combined country and rock music with a dash of humor. They began with a major international hit, Sylvia's mother, which was about a man pleading over the telephone to be allowed to speak to Sylvia, hoping that she would come back to him, but her mother wouldn't let him. Another notable songs from their Medicine show period is Cover of the Rolling stone (about the front cover of a magazine).

After shortening their name to Dr Hook, they released their strongest album (A little bit more) and had a major international hit with the title track. Other major hits followed including If not you, More like the movies, When you're in love with a beautiful woman, Better love next time and Sexy eyes.
