Susie Arioli - Embraceable
NR

The version of "I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues" on this album is gorgeous!

Jason Aldean - Try That in a Small Town
50

I'm not really wild about this song musically, but I certainly don't think it's racist or that there's anything morally wrong with it. It simply points out that the problem of violent crime is generally much worse in big cities than in small towns in America. I think someone would have to have quite an imagination to get racism out of that. It's not about race in anyway whatsoever.

Kree Harrison - Chosen Family Tree
15

I like two tracks, the title song and the cover of "The End of the World". Kree is a very good singer.

Atlantic Starr - The Best of Atlantic Starr
10

I only like one track here. By the way, I noticed on Spotify and on Apple Music, that there is another compilation by Atlantic Starr with the same title as this one, released on the same day as this one, but one has different track listing. They're also on different record labels and there's only a very slight difference in the album covers. What's up with that?

Teresa Graves - Teresa Graves
35

I had never heard of Teresa Graves until I say a video on YouTube. In the video, people were claiming that Cissy Houston is not Whitney Houston's biological mother, but Teresa Graves was. They didn't show any real evidence of this in the video. They just pretty much said that Whitney didn't look like Cissy and that Whitney did look like Teresa. But anyway, that video is how I came to know about Teresa Graves. She was not a bad singer, but I don't care for most of the songs here, but there were ... read more

Sam Hoyle - Little Backroad Lotta Jesus
NR

Sam Hoyle is the husband of my all-time favorite vocalist, Lauren Talley. This is a country album. I wasn't really that impressed with this album when I listened to it before. I liked one track, "None of This" and added it to my collection. I just went back and listened to the album again and I now realize it's much better than I thought it was. For whatever reason, I just didn't really connect with it before, with the exception of that one song. Now, I like the album ... read more

O. C. Smith - Little Green Apples
NR

I heard this song a lot when I was a kid, so this song always reminds me of my childhood. I'd probably rate this song about 70, but I'm not doing positive ratings right now because I'm trying to get the spam bot to un-deweight me. I'll rate this one later after my ratings start to count.

Luther Vandross - If Only For One Night
0

Luther Vandross had one of my favorite voices of all-time, but I hate sleazy songs about one-night stands. What Luther sings "would be so nice" is something that has caused a lot of people a lot of heartache and pain and has ruined many people's lives. This is an absolutely horrible message.

Michael Ray - Dive Bars & Broken Hearts
25

I love the duet with Meghan Patrick, "Spirits and Demons", and I usually hate drinking songs, but this one has a great message. I don't care for the rest of this EP at all.

Donna Summer - Bad Girls
0

Once again, a great singer, but another trashy song.

Donna Summer - Hot Stuff
0

Great singer, trashy song.

Dennis Quaid - Fallen: A Gospel Record For Sinners
15

I thought it was interesting when I heard that Dennis Quaid was going to release a gospel album. I didn't even know he sang. Unfortunately, he doesn't sing well IMO. There are some good songs here, but his voice just doesn't do it for me.

Janis Joplin - Cry Baby
0

Such screeching! Listen to the Garnet Mimms version to hear how this song should be sung.

AC/DC - Highway to Hell
0

The lyrics refer to hell as "The Promised Land" and says they're paying their dues to Satan. Why would anyone who isn't a satanist want to listen to stuff like this?

From the lyrics:

"Hey Satan
Payin' my dues
Playin' in a rocking band
Hey momma
Look at me
I'm on my way to the Promised Land"

Michael W. Smith - The Big Picture
5

I love a lot of Christian / Gospel music, but there's also a lot of it I don't like at all. The only thing that's even remotely worth listening to on this album for me is the bonus piano track. Michael W. Smith is simply not a good singer IMO, and I don't like the style of these songs at all.

Jessica Andrews - Heart Shaped World
25

The one great track here IMO is "Unbreakable Heart".

Millicent - Voyage
25

I love "Broken", but that's the only track that I like here.
