Jim Brickman Destiny Jazz Music CD Review

Super talented Jazz artist Jim Brickman has released him most recent CD on the Windham Hill Records recording label, entitled Destiny.

This one grabs your attention right from the start with Part Of My Heart and doesn't let go until the very last note of the very last song What We Believe In, which by the way is another great track.

These days its a very rare CD on which every single song is good or better than the one before it. This CD is certainly one of those rare CDs.

Overall Destiny is a solid release. Quite possibly Jim Brickman's best to date. Really spectacular from beginning to end. If you're even mildly into Jazz music you'll enjoy this album.

While this entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 8 - Love Of My Life, track 10 - By Chance, and track 14 - What We Believe In

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

Celine Dion New Day Has Come Pop Music CD Review

New Day Has Come is the latest Pop CD released by the extremely talented Celine Dion who once again has delivered a brilliant collection of tracks. Im confident Celine Dion fans, and Pop 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.

Pop music fans will recognize some of the well known guests that have been assembled to play along with Dion on several of the tracks. Artists like Michael Thompson and Paul Jackson Jr. just to name a couple.

Overall New Day Has Come 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 Pop collection. Truly an outstanding Pop CD. One of those that is completely void of any wasted time, as each track is simply superb.

While this entire album is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 3 - Have You Ever Been In Love, track 14 - When The Wrong One Loves You Right, and track 16 - Nature Boy.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Im Alive. This is a great track!
