CDs...Most Recent Best & Worst

Okay, I am admittedly a music fanatic...I love music of all genres, saving country music, I just cannot make myself enjoy it! I am sharing with you today, some of my favorites, and one which was a HUGE disappointment to me, and well as a "new" talented young man which I recently discovered.

These are some musicians and bands which I truly enjoy; some of the bands have been around for quite awhile, but they recently have new CDs on the market.

The first is Maroon 5, whose neo-jazz, pop sound is awesome. For the most part, I think Adam Levine (who you can catch on the new show "The Voice") is an incredible writer. Adam really reaches down and writes lyrics which express the heartache and the best of love. Maroon 5's new album is called Hands All Over. Here is a taste of Maroon 5...

"Misery"

The second artist I want to share with you is an awesome singer, who gives me chills when I hear her voice, Adele. Adele not only looks like a "retro diva" her voice is incredible! Adele has smokey, soulful voice, who writes and sings about the pain of love with a certain "edge." Her album, 21 is fabulous, I have found the entire album to well worth the purchase, and the listen. Here is Adele...



"Rolling in the Deep"

My third choice is a young man, whom I met on Facebook, who is an extremely talented musician, singer, and song writer, by the name of Mikey Wax. I really think you will enjoy his mellow sound; I am really trying to get Mikey' name out there, because he truly deserves recognition for his talent. Here is Mikey Wax...



"In Case I Go Away Again"

And finally, this album was an incredible disappointment to me. I have loved Fleetwood Mac for years, it seemed every album over the decades was great. When Stevie Nicks went solo, I enjoyed her albums as well. However, Stevie's new album, In Your Dreams is a major let down. There are only two songs on the entire album I like, the rest need to be thrown in the dust bin. Here is one of the two songs I like (I find this video a bit out-there, but then)...



"Secret Love"

I hope you found this little run-down of recent music releases helpful. You can find these, except for Mikey Wax, at your local music store, or Walmart, or Target retailers. Mikey Wax can be downloaded on I-Tunes.



Peace to you,
