Don Felder Airborne Pop Music CD Review

The exceptionally talented Pop artist Don Felder has released him CD entitled Airborne. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Don Felder fans, and Pop fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Airborne Don Felder’s artistic excellence is on full display as Felder has once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be him best work to date.

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 Airborne. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

Don Felder possesses the characteristic of being able to win you over with him talent alone. The kind of artist I really enjoy listening to.

I’m of the opinion that Airborne is certainly Don Felder’s best work in a few years. A totally enjoyable CD and an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up because it’s a collection that even the casual Pop fan can appreciate and enjoy.

While this entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 4 - Who Tonight, track 7 - Night Owl, and track 8 - Still Alive.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Bad Girls. Great track!

Sara Evans Restless Pop Music CD Review

Jewel - Pieces Of You Pop Music CD Review

Pieces Of You is the latest release from Jewel, and is another winner by this talented group.

I wish it weren’t the case but, it’s not everyday that I get a CD for review 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 Pieces Of You. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

Pieces Of You has a nicely varied, mix of 14 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly talented musicians. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.

If you're even mildly into Pop music you'll enjoy this CD. Overall Pieces Of You is an a great release. I give it my double thumbs up. You will not be disappointed with one single track.

While this entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 2 - Pieces Of You, track 2 - You Were Meant For Me, and track 14 - Amen.

In the fourth position we have Leona Lewis' 'Better in Time' from her debut album "Spirit" released on 8th April, 2008.
