Shop For Chicken Fried


This song has a wonderful sound quality. I love listening to this song. It is just some good southern music. It always puts me in a good mood when I am down and I love to listen to the patriotic part. It makes me proud to serve and it always gives me a reminder of all the good things we have, "like a little bit of chicken fried"...

This is a song that all country fans must have.Get more detail about Chicken Fried.

You Lift Me Up Get it now!


This high energy Christian song would probably appeal best to tweens and teens. Although I didn't hate it, it was just a little too repetitive and high energy for me. I do think that tween girls would love this song though. Get more detail about You Lift Me Up.

Lowest Price If Today Was Your Last Day


"My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride"

"Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you'll never live it twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life"

Wow, Nickeltrash. Think you've forced enough cliches in there? Hell, this song even made it into MSN's list of "Worst song lyrics ever" (although personally I think Photograph has worse but not by much).Get more detail about If Today Was Your Last Day.

Save Pitter-Pat (Acoustic) (AmazonMP3 Exclusive Version)

Discount Hey, Soul Sister


"Hey,Soul Sister" gives me ambiguous feelings. It has a great melody and rhythm. It's immediately catchy,with a reggae beat. San Francisco's Train has come back--but is it the San Francisco Treat? It's the usual pop love song--but some of the lyrics are plain laughable. Especially when front man Pat Monahan sings about his "untrimmed chest"--is it supposed to be a gross-out,a turn-on,or BOTH? A man singing about his chest hair in a love song is.... unique. Fun song--but maybe it's best as an instrumental? I don't know.Get more detail about Hey, Soul Sister.

Cheapest Cosmic Egg


If you love the awesome power and creative energy of the early 70's, then this is a MUST have. Led Zeppelin/Black Sabbath/Yes/John Lennon-Beatles/Deep Purple make up driving force behind this disc. Better than the first WOLFMOTHER debut!!! EVERY song is a stand out.Get more detail about Cosmic Egg.

Cheap Sargent House Sampler


Ok - many of these tracks are interesting and creative and lyrical in many different ways. Interesting instruments, experimental forms, pleasant voices. But somehow, to me, most of the tracks seemed repetitive or boring or annoying, even with the different sounds or unusual rhythms. Maybe it's just me, but most just seemed to keep repeating the same "hook" all the way through the song, whatever that "hook" was. I would start each song and get interested, but then get tired of it before it was 1/3 over, (though I did listen all the way through to be fair). However, I did like track 1 quite a lot. I also appreciated that the notes were musical and I don't think anybody screamed. Some may enjoy these quite a bit, but I guess not me, much.Get more detail about Sargent House Sampler.

Buying Sexy Chick (Featuring Akon)


With great production from David Guetta, who on "When Love Takes Over" with Kelly Rowland showed that he knew his stuff, This song "Sexy Chick" is awesome, featuring vocals from Akon (although Akon always seems to sing about this kind of stuff.) A+!!Get more detail about Sexy Chick (Featuring Akon).

Buy Far Out Recordings-Brazilian Music Sampler


Still tough for me to get into reviewing MP3's, but so be it! This is a little sampler of music from UK based label Far Out Recordings, highlighting some of the works of their artists. Far Out Records is one of my favorite labels as they have a fantastic reputation for releasing quality works by classy musicians like Joyce, Azymuth, Marcos Valle and Os Cariocas along with bringing out fresh material with acts like Sabrina Malheiros (Alex Malheiros of Azymuth's daughter), Democustico, Clara Moreno and many others. What you have here are eight tracks of different Brazilian musicians in the Far Out Records catalog.

And it's a fair compilation of samba, and time flies! It opens up with Grupo Batuque's "O Tempo Samba", a little nostalgic considering the title was used on their "Far Out 100" release from 2005. It's a track featuring Grupo Batuque's trademark samba fusion beats and chant like lyrics. It's followed up by Sabrina Malheiros's "Eira Nem Beira", which is a nice song that quickly skips around with a touch of African ambiance. The production on the title really is terrific, and the flute work equally impressive. However true to the term 'sampler', the track seems to fade out all too quickly! Clara Moreno's "Brincando do Samba" was reminiscent of her recent style, which is classy arrangements on all of her songs. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree! Her mother, Joyce, is featured with "London Samba" is proof, as her voice skips along to the rhythm. Marcos Valle's "Poweride" is also a sweet title that glides, perfect for any summer evening. Although to be honest, I preferred Roc Hunter's remix. Azymuth and their own Jose Bertrami both have solid cuts featured here too.

The other songs featured here are fair, but to be honest if you're a fan of Far Out, there isn't a lot that's new here. I think the label's been taking a pro-active approach to making sure that their artists are given the exposure they deserve with the changing music climate. Far Out was also known for releasing sweet 12" albums, for instance, and they'd been busy converting those to MP3 format and releasing. I should mention though that not all of the tracks here I really liked. For example, I like The Ipanemas, but Doriva was like a disjointed version of "Icarai", and both "Doriva" and "Icarai" are very similar to "Serato", etc. Also, the artists featured do have much better material available than featured here. But this sampler has a few things going for it which makes knocking it too hard. The biggest of which is that it's 'free', so what's not to love? Definitely give it a lesson and I'd recommend looking out for Far Out's REAL compilations like their Brazilika series done by Kenny Dope and Gilles Peterson among others, their Brazilian Love Affair series and also their Viagem series, which has been done by organized Nicola Conte.

Purchase She Wolf


I am somewhat biased here but this song is great! The video is awesome as well. If you have ever been in a relationship where you felt taken for granted or pushed aside, and just wanted to bust free from those chains, you will identify with this song. Not only that, it is an awesome dance song. We used it for several dance classes and it works great for many routines.Get more detail about She Wolf.

Order Follow Me


Before I got the free download via Amazon, I had no idea who this artist was. I do not watch American Idol as a general rule, so that certainly was not a factor for me. The vocals are gentle, light, and clear. The lyrics and melody are memorable - which are all the makings of a good pop tune. I have to say that because of it I am definitely interested in downloading more of her work. Get more detail about Follow Me.

Where To Buy Wicked Cool Coming Attractions


There are only two songs on this sampler album that stand out for me. "Living in the Shadows" By the Beat Tornados and "Nobody" by the Woggles. The Beat Tornados evoke a Rockabilly, surferesque feeling ala Reverend Horton Heat and the Woggles is a cute mix of 60's laid back dance and twist. The other songs just don't do it for me.Get more detail about Wicked Cool Coming Attractions.

After buying this as a bargain (along with The 99 Most Essential Mozart Masterpieces at its original price) I must say that both of them are worth what they are at regular, let alone getting them so cheaply;

Flight Of The Conchords Top Quality


I've been a fan of the Conchords from day one. You can't listen to their music without smiling, even if you have not seen the relating episodes. I hum 'Business Time' all the time...lol. Awaiting another album guys! My parrots love your music as well. They sway and bounce every time I play your music.Get more detail about Flight Of The Conchords.

I'm Alive (with Dave Matthews) This instant


"I'm Alive" by popular country singer Kenny Chesney and jam band front man Dave Matthews is about as easy listening and tepid as it can get. Both singer bring their blandness. This song would easily blend in as ambient music at outlet stores,a bank,or the grocery store. "I'm Alive" is hardly the gritty country of Johnny Cash or Hank Williams. It's vaguely folksy... so I'm guessing that's what makes it "country." "I'm Alive" is as peppy as a midday nap. It's not only sedate,it's a sedative.Get more detail about I'm Alive (with Dave Matthews).

Greatest Hits: 1974-1978 Immediately


What everybody's been saying about Steve Miller's music in the 70's is true: classic pop songs that really typify the era.

My one complaint is (Amazon? Are you listening): Why does the mp3 download have the radio edit of Fly Like an Eagle instead of full 6 minute version?Get more detail about Greatest Hits: 1974-1978.
