That's exactly what Melissa Etheridge has done. Working alongside her producer David Cole, Melissa's songs celebrate a spiritual time of year where people can rejoice in their traditional, or non-traditional ways, and celebrate a winter solstice filled with love and peace. This ten song album has newly composed songs such as \"Ring The Bells,\" \"Light A Light,\" and \"It's Christmas Time\" interspersed with traditional holiday standards such as \"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas\" and \"Blue Christmas.\" This album begs the question, \"If we're all talking about peace on earth, what if we all concentrated on peace on earth and made it happen?\"\u003cbr\u003e\nMelissa Etheridge has been a core Island Records artist since the release of her critically-acclaimed eponymous debut, which led to an invitation to sing on the 1989 Grammy Awards broadcast. For several years, Melissa's popularity built around such memorable songs as \"Bring Me Some Water\" (from her debut), \"No Souvenirs\" (from 1989's Brave And Crazy) and \"Ain't It Heavy\" (from 1992's Never Enough), for which she won her first Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal.\u003cbr\u003e\nMelissa hit her commercial and artistic stride with her fourth album, 1993's Yes I Am, featuring the massive hits \"I'm the Only One\" and \"Come to My Window,\" a searing song of longing that brought her second Best Female Rock Grammy. The album went six times platinum and spent more than two and a half years on the album chart. In 1995, she issued her highest charting album, Your Little Secret (#6 on the Billboard Top 200), which included the hit single, \"I Want to Come Over.\" Her astounding success led Melissa to receive the Songwriter of the Year honor at the ASCAP Pop Awards in 1996.\u003cbr\u003e\nMelissa continued to write, record, and tour throughout the '90s and into the new millennium. In 2006, she was approached by Al Gore to write a song for his documentary film, An Inconvenient Truth. The result was \"I Need To Wake Up\" and in February 2007, she won the Academy Award for Best Original Song. Melissa's Greatest Hits: The Road Less Traveled was repackaged to include the OSCAR® winning song. In April 2007, Melissa Etheridge received the distinguished ASCAP Founders Award honoring the anthemic power, compassion, and generosity of spirit of her music, and her enduring status as one of the greatest all-time female rock icons. In September 2007, she released The Awakening, which was selected by Rolling Stone Magazine as #20 on its Top 50 albums of 2007., ISBN13: B001E2JN88 ISBN10: B001E2JN88 Material Type: audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46108495806627,"sku":"B10.32.11 F_03-19-25_UBD_H00008KH","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/51HOc8rprPL.jpg?v=1754552121"},{"product_id":"dancing-with-a-ghost","title":"Dancing with a Ghost","description":"\u003cp\u003eNeal Hagberg and Leandra Peak ended up on the road to music mostly by accident... Hagberg was on his way to medical school and Peak to a career in international business when the road veered. Since then they have found themselves singing to sold out thousand seat venues in some towns and four people and a sick dog (true story) in others. Leandra - private by nature - was dragged kicking and screaming into the spotlight. Even though she had acted in a professional theater group as a teenager, she had no desire to make a career out of it, and refused even to take solos in the high school choir. As a little girl, all she ever wanted was to be on Johnny Carson. Not for her voice, not for her writing or stage presence, but because she thought Johnny would simply find her funny. Neal thought a career in professional sports sounded good. Being a small college wishbone quarterback did not exactly prepare him for the NFL. It didn't prepare him for the folk world either, but he figured at least in music he wouldn't get landed on by 300 lb. noseguards. So, he wrote some songs, some people liked them, and he quit his med school plans to go on the road. He somehow convinced Leandra to go along. That is the story in a nutshell. Leandra grew up in Louisville, KY, Neal in Montevideo, MN. Leandra was raised on Perry Como and barbershop, Neal on The Mamas and the Papas and Swedish hymns. They met at Gustavus Adolphus College in Minnesota in 1981. Off-again, on-again dating, excursions into graduate school (Leandra in Spanish, Neal receiving a Masters of Divinity) only resulted in a postponement of careers as singer\/songwriters. Hagberg and Peak married in 1989 and began touring as a duo full time. Signed by Columbia Artists Management and recording on one of the country's preeminent singer-songwriter labels (Red House Records), Neal \u0026amp; Leandra have since performed in nearly every state in the country. The Washington Post says 'as songwriters, Neal \u0026amp; Leandra have clearly mastered the art of saying more with less.' The Minneapolis StarTribune says 'listening to Leandra Peak's distinctively husky and lustrous voice might be as heavenly as listening to angels' and 'Neal Hagberg writes inspired originals.' And the Victory Review of Seattle writes that Neal \u0026amp; Leandra have 'one of the most sensuous mix of voices I've heard.' Sometimes people have to work to find them or their eight cds: Old Love, Hearts \u0026amp; Hammers, Accidental Dreams, Stranger to my Kin, Listen to the Angels, Bridge Rail, A Dreamer's Holiday: A Tribute to Perry Como, and Angels And Fools: A Christmas Collection Volume 2. But, tens of thousands of fans have found them nonetheless, and their audience is fiercely loyal. The simplicity and directness of their songs is both disarming and elegant. The songs are layered with textures of everyday life and love. This - combined with their remarkable blend and funny stories - connects with people's own experiences in a way that keeps them coming back for more and bringing friends the next time around. When they are not touring or recording, Neal \u0026amp; Leandra reside in Minneapolis, MN with their daughter, Madeline, where Neal plays a lot of basketball and Leandra reads many books., ISBN13: B000P5EQM8 ISBN10: B000P5EQM8 Material Type: audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46108578709667,"sku":"B10.30.11 F_03-24-25_UBD_H00009O2","price":33.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/71mx_MEbQVL.jpg?v=1754554303"},{"product_id":"things-will-be-better-the-best-of-david-broza","title":"Things Will Be Better: The Best of David Broza","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith twenty three albums to his name, Broza continues to forge his way with a style so diverse that he has passionate fans in every corner of the world.

With two songs meant for a seriously ill parent and three set in Vietnam--one a deeply felt tribute to ex-husband Eric Taylor, whose life was forever changed there--Griffith seems to be making amends, healing old wounds, and finding the strength to move on.

Burns won 'Entertainer of the Year,' 'CD of the year for his 'Ragtops and Flip Flops'' and a special WAVE award for his humanitarian work through his Brent Burns Charitable Foundation. The awards were presented by the Margarita MAFIA (Musicians, Artists and Fans in Alliance), an organization dedicated to promoting Trop Rock music. Brent Burns was born in Seminole, Oklahoma, and moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1958. While attending high school and community college sports were important, but music was in his blood. Brent soon strapped on an electric guitar and was fronting a rock-n-roll band. Life soon changed when he volunteered for service in Vietnam. Several months after entering combat, Brent was wounded and received the Purple Heart. After a three year recuperation in and out of military hospitals, he returned to his love of music and hit the road performing all over the United States. Later on he felt compelled to take a year off from music and hit the college lecture circuit. Offering honest, insightful, and a humorous look at life as a combat soldier, Brent was able to help others troubled with the effect of the war on their day to day lives. Brent Burns is no stranger to notoriety. In response to the oil shortages of the 1980s, Burns wrote the hit song, \"Cheaper Crude or No More Food,\" which sold 200,000 copies the first day it was released. Paul Harvey played the song three times; the first and only song ever played in the program's 35-year history. Burns' fame has continued with guest appearances on all three major networks, interviews on the BBC, and featured articles in the New York Times, Chicago Tribune and Billboard Magazine. Brent also has the distinction of being the first entertainer to sing for American troops overseas since the tragedy of September 11th, 2001. Besides his busy performance schedule, he continues to perform at benefits around the world, including for the National Underwater Marine Agency (NUMA) of Australia, the Phoenix Suns Night Hoops Program, American Cancer Society, and Habitat for Humanity, where Brent is building a house with proceeds from his latest CD, \"Margarita Smile.\" Brent Burns' impressive CD sales and song writing continue to make him a highly sought after independent artist and performer. His performance schedule includes over 200 dates a year at concerts, festivals and clubs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the Artist\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBrent Burns was born in Seminole, Oklahoma, and moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1958. While attending high school and Community college sports were important, but music was in his blood. Brent soon strapped on an electric guitar and was fronting a rock-n-roll band. Life soon changed when he volunteered for service in Vietnam. Several months after entering combat, Brent was wounded and received the Purple Heart. After a three year recuperation in and out of military hospitals, he returned to his love of music and hit the road performing all over the United States. Later on he felt compelled to take a year off from music and hit the college lecture circuit. Offering honest, insightful, and a humorous look at life as a combat soldier, Brent was able to help others troubled with the effect of the war on their day to day lives. In 1979 Brent wrote a song entitled \"Cheaper Crude or No More Food\" and recorded the song with a Phoenix disc jockey named Bobby Butler. Paul Harvey, never having played a record on his show, played the song three times on his show. \"Cheaper Crude\" sold 200.000 copies the first day it was released. Appearances on all three major networks followed as well as articles in the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, and Billboard Magazine. The last fifteen years have found Brent living on the gulf coast and performing from 250 to 300 shows a year. One thing he hadn't done much of was writing. A \"ten year writers block\" as he likes to call it. Well fortunately for all of us this block has passed. Brent completed a couple of dozen tunes in 1998, nine of which found their way onto his CD, \"Livin' the Life (Jimmy Buffett Only Wrote About).

Much of this song cycle recalls Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks, as Morrissey applies his craggy voice and economy of detail to bittersweet themes of romantic dissolution. From the album-opening \"Twenty Third Street\" through \"Just Before We Lost the War\" and \"Moving Day,\" he avoids regret and recrimination for a more resigned mix of fatalism and wonder, while tracing the arc of love from its aftermath. The chamber-like arrangements complement the understatement of the writing, with Morrissey's guitar framed by piano, violin, and an occasional solo horn. \"Harry's Last Call\" compresses a short story's richness into four minutes of song, while \"Will You Be My Rose?\" ends the album on a note of renewal. --Don McLeese\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCritically lauded and Grammy-nominated New England folk artist Bill Morrissey's first album of new original songs in five years, Something I Saw or Thought I Saw reveals an artist reborn.

Even though her debut on Hidden Beach Records (and her first collection in several years) boasts such lite jazz stalwarts as Kirk Whalum and Dave Koz, Russell is no easy-listening chanteuse, despite the fact that her clear, true voice is seductive enough to lull you to sleep. This seriously underrated singer-songwriter--whose best-known compositions are \"Piano in the Dark\" and \"Get Here\" (which was a hit for Oleta Adams)--possesses a lush, decidedly mature (but not stodgy) approach to the art of making music. The arrangements might be delicate and thoughtful, but Russell's sturdy piano playing and her dedication to the lost art of soul singing gives even the most laid-back tracks a little attitude. On songs like the samba-flavored \"Please Felipe\" or the conversational stroll of \"Walkin' In New York,\" Russell conjures up memories of singers like Dionne Warwick or Anita Baker. Not so much in actual vocal tone, but in the sense of knowing how to deliver a song with heart and integrity. In a Destiny's Child world, the adult musings of Brenda Russell might not make the grade, but it's nice to hear a singer whose confidence and style resonates with honesty. --Amy Linden, ISBN13: B00004UART ISBN10: B00004UART Material Type: audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46109067772067,"sku":"B10.30.3 F _03-20-25_UBD_H00008TL","price":16.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/71wMo4GcIQL.jpg?v=1754564183"},{"product_id":"fire-honey-angels","title":"Fire Honey \u0026 Angels","description":"\u003cp\u003e, ISBN13: B00004RDUO ISBN10: B00004RDUO Material Type: audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46109078421667,"sku":"B10.26.4 F_H0000BJ2","price":28.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/31HAGQTDCZL.jpg?v=1754564429"},{"product_id":"nickel-creek","title":"Nickel Creek","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmazon.com\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSan Diego is not exactly known as a hotbed of contemporary bluegrass music, but then again, Nickel Creek are a far cry from most bluegrass bands you've ever heard. On their Alison Krauss-produced debut, they serve up a lilting, ethereal fusion of bluegrass, Celtic, modern folk, and even classical influences, offering exquisite harmonies that would be more at home at a Crosby, Stills \u0026amp; Nash tribute than at a musical salute to the late Bill Monroe. Yet it makes for delightful listening, all the same. The three principals (Sara Watkins on fiddle and vocals; her brother Sean Watkins on guitar, mandolin, and vocals; and Chris Thile on mandolin, banjo, bouzouki, and vocals) are either barely out of their teens or still in them. Individually and as a band, they've already won a slew of awards and notoriety on their respective instruments. The three prodigies (joined by Thile's dad, Scott, on bass) really strut their eclectic hot licks on a few soaring, skittering instrumentals, but even more impressive are Nickel Creek's graceful, heartfelt harmonies on the many lovely ballads.

Spotlight Pick of the Week.\" -- Billboard, 1999\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 30 years between leaving the Kingston Trio in 1968 and recording this CD, singer-songwriter John Stewart has played with many fine backing musicians on stage and in the studio. But Darwin's Army was Stewart's first real group effort since the Trio, positioning himself as chief among equals in this project spotlighting many classic folk songs, both traditional and contemporary. 'I missed singing in a group, missed being one of three or four people singing together,' Stewart explains. 'Certainly this is a sound I personally wanted to get back to.' So Stewart recruited wife and longtime singing partner Buffy Ford Stewart and rising young singer-songwriter-musicians Dave Crossland and John Hoke to tackle material as old as 'Wild Mountain Thyme' and 'Twelve Gates to the City,' as nouveau classic as Bob Dylan's 'My Back Pages' and Tim Hardin's 'Reason to Believe,' as surprising as 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' and 'They Call the Wind Mariah,' and as recent as Paul Simon's 'Boy in the Bubble,' Crossland's 'Blood in the Fields,' and Hoke's 'Dreamland.' 'The origin of a lot of the songs goes back to the Weavers and Pete Seeger,' says Stewart, which helps explain why John broke out his banjo for some of the tunes, while adding his guitar and bass to others. Hoke contributes guitar and percussion, Crossland plays guitar, and Ford sings backing vocals and the occasional lead, as do Hoke and Crossland. The quartet spans generations and musical boundaries with it's renditions of songs old and new, with each cover version unlocking a fading memory of the original and appending an energetic freshness. 'We've been told that it's not folk,' explains Ford, regarding the newer songs. 'Some people believe that unless it's a classic old song, it's not folk. That's bull. Folk music is written every day. Folk music grows.' About the Artist To the baby-boomers of the Fifties, John Stewart's name is synonymous with the Kingston Trio, whose early Sixties hits 'Tom Dooley' and 'Greenback Dollar' brought folk music out of the coffeehouses and onto campuses, concert halls and radio playlists. To mid-Sixties teenyboppers, John Stewart was the pen behind the Monkees' #1 hit, 'Daydream Believer.' To rock fans in the Seventies, John was that friend of Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham who scored a hit single ('Gold') co-produced by Buckingham, and a Top 10 album that featured Buckingham and Stevie Nicks as guest musicians. To country fans in the Eighties, John is the author of Rosanne Cash's version Number One hit, 'Runaway Train.' Most enduringly, to fans of the singer-songwriter movement that began at the end of the Sixties and has expanded into the Americana and alt. Country genres, Stewart is a figure of uncompromising talent and integrity. Born in Southern California in 1939, Stewart wrote his first song at age 10. After outgrowing his high school rock band, Stewart turned his songwriting and performing skills to folk while he was in college, and two of his compositions were recorded by the Kingston Trio, riding high on their pop-folk hits. At the urging of the Trio's manager, Stewart moved to San Francisco and formed the Cumberland Three, a Trio-styled group that recorded an album for Roulette. When founding member Dave Guard left the Trio in 1961, John was his logical replacement, providing banjo, guitar, on-stage humor and, most importantly, original material. The Trio recorded more than two dozen Stewart compositions during his seven-year tenure with them, including 'One More Town,' pegged by Paul Simon as the inspiration for his own 'Feelin' Groovy.' During his final days with the group, he wrote 'Daydream Believer,' which became a worldwide hit for The Monkees and, years later, for Anne Murray. With folk music as the soundtrack to activism in the Sixties, John took part in the March for Freedom in Selma, Alabama, and also joined his friend Robert Kennedy's Senatorial campaign. In 1968, Stewart again stumped for Kennedy, this time in the latter's tragically curtailed run for the U.S. presidency. That same year, Stewart left the Trio after a 16-album stint and recorded Signals Through the Glass with his wife-to-be, Buffy Ford Stewart. The following year, Stewart went to Nashville to record his first solo album, California Bloodlines, later chosen as one of the 200 Best Albums of All Time by a Rolling Stone critics' poll. More solo albums and more cover versions of Stewart songs followed; John's songs have been recorded by everyone from Harry Belafonte and Pat Boone to Joan Baez and Nanci Griffith, from the Four Tops and the Lovin' Spoonful to the Violent Femmes and the Beat Farmers. In 1979, John returned to the charts himself with 'Gold,' a Top 5 single from his Top 10 album Bombs Away Dream Babies, co-produced and played on by longtime Stewart fan and Fleetwood Mac leader Buckingham. The album spun off two more Top 20 so, ISBN13: B00000I0CW ISBN10: B00000I0CW Material Type: audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46109130227875,"sku":"B10.34.5 F_03-11-25_UBD_H0000791","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/71yGcvmhoPL.jpg?v=1754565638"},{"product_id":"capitol-collector-series","title":"Capitol Collector Series","description":"\u003cp\u003e, ISBN13: B000008H5Q ISBN10: B000008H5Q Material Type: audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46109167714467,"sku":"B10.34.3 F_03-10-25_UBD_H000075Y","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/21uTz9Y9I1L.jpg?v=1754566762"},{"product_id":"austin-skyline","title":"Austin Skyline","description":"\u003cp\u003e, ISBN13: B000003NOJ ISBN10: B000003NOJ Material Type: audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46109218046115,"sku":"B10.32.6 F_03-06-25_UBD_H00006T5","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/41S5PS9055L.jpg?v=1754568064"},{"product_id":"give-yourself-to-love-volumes-12-live-in-concert","title":"Give Yourself To Love (Volumes 1\u00262) (Live In Concert)","description":"\u003cp\u003e, ISBN13: B000003347 ISBN10: B000003347 Material Type: audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46109251371171,"sku":"B10.32.6 F_03-06-25_UBD_H00006U5","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/41JSEXVFRQL.jpg?v=1754568603"},{"product_id":"the-best-of-peter-paul-mary-ten-years-together","title":"The Best Of Peter, Paul \u0026 Mary: Ten Years Together","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmazon.com\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWarner Bros. did with the CD release of the 1970 vinyl LP 10 Years Together: Best of Peter, Paul \u0026amp; Mary what every label should do with CD reissues of vinyl compilations.

On Milk \u0026amp; Scissors, The Handsome Family began their retreat away from the electric guitar based sound of their debut, Odessa, and started to ease into their unique mix of Appalachian textures and 20th century despair that would become their calling card., ISBN13: B000001WXE ISBN10: B000001WXE Material Type: audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46109489299619,"sku":"B10.34.2 F_03-10-25_UBD_H000073X","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/41TGC6Ke7xL.jpg?v=1754571492"},{"product_id":"big-earful","title":"Big Earful","description":"\u003cp\u003e, ISBN13: B000001B8B ISBN10: B000001B8B Material Type: audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46109501816995,"sku":"B10.30.10 F_03-24-25_UBD_H00009LV","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/71Bhpvq0YhL.jpg?v=1754572138"},{"product_id":"shouldnt-a-told-you-that","title":"Shouldn't a Told You That","description":"\u003cp\u003e, ISBN13: B00000187J ISBN10: B00000187J Material Type: audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46109502537891,"sku":"B10.32.5 F_03-18-25_UBD_H000087W","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/81CM3XWYIyL.jpg?v=1754572195"},{"product_id":"vol-1","title":"Vol. 1","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmazon.com\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHistory's ear hasn't been kind to Joan Baez: in retrospect, set against the traditional voices whose material she interpreted, her own versions seem painfully pretty, her soprano icy and removed.

Gilmore revisits his own Flatlanders contribution \"Dallas\" and adds two other originals, two songs from buddy Butch Hancock, and two he cowrote with Hancock. In many ways, Jimmie Dale Gilmore builds important musical bridges, bringing together both the fans and the sounds of stone traditional country with those of rootsy, twangy 1980s rock. It also presages the \"alternative country\" movement, not so much sonically but psychologically, helping to redefine both audience and performers of soulful, honest country music. --Marc Greilsamer, ISBN13: B0000005OS ISBN10: B0000005OS Material Type: audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46109530751139,"sku":"B10.28.11 F_04-16-25_UBD_H0000AUD","price":17.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/41m6V0VffWL.jpg?v=1754573076"},{"product_id":"craftsman","title":"Craftsman","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmazon.com\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the great continuum of tough-but-smart, hard-but-sensitive country-western singer-songwriters, Guy Clark cut his notch after Jimmy Rogers, Hank Williams, and Johnny Cash, and, before Roseanne Cash, Lucinda Williams, and Lyle Lovett. Making a name more from his pen than his voice, Clark is cut from the same sun-parched and wind-chapped Texas realm that yielded Townes Van Zandt. And with a hint of a bohemian (if not quite hippie) sensibility mixed in with his L.A.\/Nashville new country glide, Clark's work suggests what might have come from Gram Parsons had he survived the '70s. Craftsman is a 2 CD reissue comprised of three consecutive records Clark laid down for Warner Brothers between 1978 and 1983: Guy Clark, The South Coast of Texas, and Better Days. The entire trilogymines a hefty 30 songs from Clark's most prolific, and most successful, period as a recording artist. For those who came to country on the Garth Brooks wave Craftsman sounds like it could have been recorded yesterday, or for that matter, forty years ago. There's bits of all country flavors on Craftsman: from the Jimmy Buffett easy adult sounds of Crowell's \"Voilà, An American Dream\" to the dry and scathing late-Dylanisms of \"Fool on the Roof Blues,\" the country of \"The Houston Kid,\" and the elegant western pop of \"Fools For Each Other\" and \"Shade Of All Greens.\" No adolescent angst here, Craftsman is for listeners who've already grown up. --Roni Sarig, ISBN13: B0000003VU ISBN10: B0000003VU Material Type: audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46109531275427,"sku":"B10.24.2 F_UBD_H0000RS6","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/41eXeksUj1L.jpg?v=1754573106"},{"product_id":"buy-me-bring-me-take-me-dont-mess-my-hair-iii","title":"Buy Me, Bring Me, Take Me: Don't Mess My Hair III","description":"\u003cp\u003e, ISBN13: B0000003TK ISBN10: B0000003TK Material Type: audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46109531439267,"sku":"B10.24.2 F_UBD_H0000RUG","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/714lH4ds9TL.jpg?v=1754573111"},{"product_id":"standing-eight","title":"Standing Eight","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmazon.com\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNew Hampshire's leading songwriter Bill Morrissey (no relation to the whiner from the Smiths) continues his tough-minded, soft-hearted explorations on his third album, from 1989.
