While this is still a typical Alan Jackson album in many ways, it’s a fine bluegrass album, and a good primer for those who aren’t all that familiar with what bluegrass is supposed to be.

This is a great example of what a “tribute” album should be when compared to the countless other such recordings that are out there that are made primarily for the sake of money.

It’s another great Pat Metheny record that probably won’t sell a lot.

Speak Now is Taylor Swift’s best record yet, all in her voice with no co-writers. It’s a powerful statement from someone who has proven that she knows who she is, and, whether Nashville likes it or not, is here to stay.

This is a wonderful record that pays tribute to the masters with the freshness of 2010. Here’s hoping Joe does more work like this in the future.

In the end, Charleston, SC 1966 doesn’t break any rules or new ground, and probably wasn’t meant to.

There are no enduring classics here like the songs on 2007's Live At Massey Hall, or anything to rival the material that helped define late '70s AOR from, say, American Stars 'n Bars or Rust Never Sleeps. But this is a record well worth having, and it's a blessing that we still have enduring artists like Neil Young creating such vital music.

Hemingway’s Whiskey doesn’t really break any new ground, but it’s a solid effort from Chesney that is sure to please his existing fans and maybe gain him a few new ones.

This will be a good record for backyard barbecues and beers, but not for much serious listening.

This is a tough recording to listen to and even tougher to review fairly. Cash and his collaborators probably had a great time making this record, with fun clearly more of a consideration than commercial success.

Highly recommended, especially since you probably won’t hear this band in this incarnation again.
