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 ...
