Screenplaying is the latest release from Rock Artist Mark Knopfler, and I can only think of one word to describe this CD... AWESOME!Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.Rock music fans will recognize some of the well known contributors on the project including Tony Levin and Guy Fletcher plus a few other notables as well.Overall Screenplaying is excellent from beginning to end. One of those CDs that after a few listens the songs are just etched into your memory. A must have for the Rock fan. Really spectacular from beginning to end.While this entire album is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 3 - Father And Son, track 12 - Guide My Sword, and track 18 - Going Home / Theme Of The Local Hero.My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore is track 1 - Irish Boy. Great track!Screenplaying Release Notes:Mark Knopfler originally released Screenplaying on November 9, 1993 on the Warner Bros. Records label.CD Track List Follows:1. Irish Boy2. Irish Love3.

This past week I was fortunate to check out a new line of toys geared towards toddlers who love hip hop music. The toy is called, "Baby Jamz Music Crew" and will be available at Walm-Mart?. There's even a Baby Jamz music CD available.From what I gather, the creator, Matthew Knowles, was inspired by his grandson, Julez, to create a product line that reflected the interests of today's kids. The music CD contains some old favorites set to hip hop beats and is rather entertaining. In fact, I found my thirteen year old daughter playing the CD while browsing YouTube the other day. There are thirteen songs on the CD:1. Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star 2. Wheels On The Bus 3. Hush Little Baby 4. Brahm's Lullaby 5. There Was An Old Lady That Lived In A Shoe 6. Buckle My Shoe 7. Bingo 8. Mary Had A Little Lamb 9. Old MacDonald 10. Skip To My Lou 11. This Old Man 12. Three Little Kittens 13. Mary Mary Quite ContraryThe toys have a great concept: match the bottom of the figurines to the top of the boom box correctly and you hear a 20 second song. The sample I received played, Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. There is one drawback, the song only lasts ...

Richly talented Rock artist Lyle Lovett has released him latest CD titled Pontiac and Wow! It's really a good one.I wish it weren't the case but, it's not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can't force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Pontiac. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.Lyle Lovett possesses the characteristic of being able to win you over with him talent alone. The kind of artist I frankly just flat out enjoy listening to.Overall Pontiac is an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up and is most definitely a worthy addition to any Rock collection. Truly an outstanding Rock CD. One of those that is completely void of any wasted time, as each track is simply superb.While the entire album is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 4 - Walk Through The Bottomland, track 3 - I Loved You Yesterday, and track 11 - She's Hot ...

Saga is the latest Rock CD released by the highly group Saga and they have once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks. I'm confident Saga fans, and Rock fans alike will be pleased with this one.Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.Saga has a pleasantly varied, mix of 8 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly superb musicians. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They're all here.If you're a Saga fan this is a CD your collection flat cannot be without. In fact, this is one of those CDs that you don't even have to be a fan of lname, or even Rock to know is good. This is just good music. Period.While this entire album is outstanding ...
