Editorial Product Review: essential recording:Johnny Cash had been breaking new ground for a decade when At Folsom Prison suddenly made the world at large take notice. The interaction of a volatile prison population starved for entertainment and a desperately on-form Johnny Cash was electrifying. His somber machismo finally found a home. The songs, which included every prison song Cash knew ('I Got Stripes,' 'The Wall,' '25 Minutes to Go,' 'Cocaine Blues,' plus his own 'Folsom Prison Blues') were tailored to galvanize the crowd. This set is all ...
Editorial Product Review: :This two-CD, 25-song set, recorded in Louisville on two nights in the spring of 2002, finds bluegrass's most celebrated crossover band at the top of its game. Krauss's warm, feathery vocals, capable of conveying complex emotions in a single note, appear more full-bodied than in studio recordings, yet lose none of their sensual appeal or dramatic tension. She's perfect, for example, as the melancholy temptress on 'Let Me Touch You for Awhile,' coming across as both savior and seductress, while Jerry Douglas's Dobro echoes the ...

Editorial Product Review:Album Description:Mega-stars Alan Jackson, George Strait, and Jimmy Buffett joined together for the first time ever, Saturday, May 29, 2004, at Texas Stadium in Dallas.

Editorial Product Review: essential recording:It's no accident that among the great albums Jerry Jeff Walker has made, most of them have been recorded in front of a live audience. If you want to get the feel of the rowdy Texas music scene of the early to-mid-'70s, look no further than ¡Viva Terlingua!, a rowdy, goat-ropin' classic of sing-along mayhem recorded in the tiny town of Lukenbach in the summer of 1973. Walker marshals his Lost Gonzo Band through a number of tunes that went on to become ...

As with Folsom, the San Quentin LP had to be edited due to space limitations. Now, 31 years after the fact, the show can at last be heard in true perspective. All the ...
Editorial Product Review: :Emmylou Harris's Last Date had a nobler purpose than scaling the country charts in 1982. Harris envisioned the album as a statement for her Hot Band's preeminence as a live-gig ensemble. To prove that point, she assembled Last Date's 12 tracks from a tour of California honky-tonks, places where Harris imagined a listener might get the essence of country music--which seen through these tracks more closely resembles the later-emerging alternative-country scene than most of the 1990s' commercial 'young' country. She chose a program of cover ...
Editorial Product Review: :Recorded during their controversial 2003 tour, these two discs romp through an ample sampling of hits ('Wide Open Spaces,' 'There's Your Trouble,' 'Goodbye Earl,' 'Travelin' Soldier') as well as beloved album cuts ('Hello Mr. Heartache,' 'Some Days You Gotta Dance'). Twangy and cheeky all the way, the group rides an energy wave that continues through the stunning two-song encore of 'Top of the World' and 'Sin Wagon.' Yet as powerful as the full-band performances are, the trio's true essence emerges during the acoustic moments--'White Trash ...
Editorial Product Review:Album Description:Grammy Award winner Lucinda Williams is releasing her first live album titled Live @ The Fillmore. It was recorded at the legendary Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco CA in early 2004. The double album includes such favorites as 'Joy', 'I Lost It', 'Essence' and 'Blue', but Williams digs even deeper into her past with gritty versions of 'Pineola' and 'Changed The Locks'. Other songs featured are from the highly-acclaimed, Grammy-Nominated 2003 release World Without Tears. Live @ The Fillmore features one of the best ...
On paper, the Mio DigiWalker P550 looks to be an attractive gadget for the mobile professional, combining the capabilities of a PDA and GPS into one device. However, its poor battery life and subpar navigation skills tell a different story.
Though it won't appeal to the masses quite yet, the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet is a nice, portable device for on-the-go Web browsing, and it has some worthy upgrades.
Though it's expensive, the Sony VAIO VGN-TX670P delivers a great combination of business and entertainment features, long battery life, and unparalleled connectivity in an incredibly ultraportable package.
