Innovation  - #458

Cardon & Bestor

1993 Word Perfect 1/1/93

A free album with an interesting mix of world music.  If I were to buy this one I could be happy with the choice.  I never did get the CD-rom portion of the music to work.

In Concert Carreras Domingo Pavarotti - #42

Carreras Domingo Pavaroti

1990 London 7/7/90

How can you fault the trio of greatest tenors of this era.  Pavarotti outshines them all but all are great.  One of these albums is enough.  There are additional releases of this trio on other titles but having this is all I want to have.

That Unhinged Thing - #52

Cebar, Paul

1993 Shanachie

Guaranteed not to miss.  LOL a money back promotion at J&R.  It is not bad music but I cannot name what style it is in.  Not to my taste.  I wish I would have gotten my money back.

Chance, The

1993 Skydoor Records 1/1/93

This is heavy metal and I like it, believe it or not.  Bought on a whim, and I like it.  Surprised my nephews a lot when I pulled it out and play it for them.  The album is considered an EP, extended play, not as a single or a full album

Crossroads - #133

Chapman, Tracy

1989 Elektra 1/1/89

Very good Chapman.  The critics didn't like this one.  Why?  It seems to me that it is as good her first album, "Tray Chapman".  Critics always want something different than good.

New Beginnings - #502

Chapman, Tracy

1995 Elektra 1/1/195

This is Tracy's comeback after a long hiatus as a recording artist.  She successfully weathered her coping with success phase.  She can still write even though she has left the world she used to write about.

Telling Stories - #707

Chapman, Tracy

2000 Elektra 2/15/00

A very good album with some new sounds from Tracy.  A lot of producer influences here, and they are good ones.  Tracy has always been strictly folk but the music on this platter pushes some of those boundaries.

Tracy Chapman - #297

Chapman, Tracy

1988 Elektra

Best new "folk" in a long time.  She does have social consciousness, it makes it folk.  Great potential shows.

Matters of The Heart - #501

Chapmna, Tracy

1992 Elektra 1/1/92

Believed to be Tracy's First.  It is good, she is good. Although this is classified as adult contemporary or pop it is really fold, it has a conscience. Listen to her words and think.

Genius + Soul = Jazz / My Kind Of Jazz - #720

Charles, Ray

1997 Rhino 1/1/97

When does this man get recognized world wide and for all time and by everyone?  This compilation of 2 albums shows his musical genius without the vocals on the first portion and everything else later

His Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 - #296

Charles, Ray

1987 DCC Compact D.

This man has the soul of the nation in his heat.  How can there be any more to say about music than this man says in each of his songs.

Porgy And Bess - #18

Charles, Ray; Laine,

1989 RCA

I can see no reason for this album to exist.  Maybe Ray Charles needed money, may be he was doing a favor for Cleo Laine.  She seems to be very over the hill, of a state of burned out and / or drugged out.  A really truly bad album.  It should have never been released.
