Bob Dylan:Nashville Skyline


Nashville Skyline is an album by Bob Dylan, released in 1969. Building on John Wesley Harding's artistic shift towards simpler music, Dylan used Nashville Skyline as a springboard for complete immersion into country music.

The result received some mixed reaction from critics at the time, but Nashville Skyline, despite its brevity (it is Dylan's shortest album), was a commercial success. Reaching #3 in the US, the album also scored Dylan his 4th UK #1 album.

At the beginning of "Girl of the North Country" either Bob Dylan or Johnny Cash can be heard swallowing a drink of water.

There's no discounting that Nashville Skyline, arriving in the spring of 1969, established country-rock as a vital force in pop music, as well as a commercially viable genre.

Bob Dylan:Highway 61 Revisited


Highway 61 Revisited, widely regarded as one of the greatest albums ever, was the sixth album released by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. It includes nine original songs, including Dylan's first U.S. top ten single, "Like A Rolling Stone".

It was regularly featured in blues songs, notably Mississippi Fred McDowell's "61 Highway" and James "Son" Thomas's "Highway 61."

Opening with the epic "Like a Rolling Stone," Highway 61 Revisited careens through nine songs that range from reflective folk-rock ("Desolation Row") and blues ("It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry") to flat-out garage rock ("Tombstone Blues," "From a Buick 6," "Highway 61 Revisited").

Thom Yorke's Album Leaks Online(News!)

Thom Yorke’s solo album ‘The Eraser’ has leaked over a month ahead of its release.

Limited copies of the albums have been sent out to various agencies and according to atease.com, one has slipped through the net and appeared online.

Promotional copies of the album have been uniquely coded with the receiver’s details, but it’s not known whether the person who leaked the album is being traced.

‘The Eraser’ hits the shelves in the UK on July 10 and a day later Stateside.

Oasis' 'Definitely Maybe' Voted Greatest Album Of All Time(News!)

The 1994 album was voted ahead of the likes of The Beatles’ ‘Sgt Pepper’ in second and ‘Revolver’ in third.

The poll voted for by was conducted by the book of British Albums and Hit Singles to celebrate 50 years of the Official UK album chart.

Other albums that charted high were Radiohead’s ‘OK Computer’ in fourth, Pink Floyd’s ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ in eighth and The Smiths’ ‘The Queen Is Dead’ in tenth.

Surprise entries came from The Killers with ‘Hot Fuss’ at 21, Kaiser Chiefs’ ‘Employment’ at 27 and Green Day with ‘American Idiot’ at 32. Shocking.

British Hit Singles and Albums editor David Roberts said: “Usually these polls are full of records that people have only just bought because they are freshest in the mind.

“But this poll shows that the truly great albums always have longevity.

“Only two albums in the Top 20 were released in the last five years, so the voters have clearly thought long and hard about their decision.

“We believe our readers are the most knowledgeable music fans in the country so for them to have decided that Definitely Maybe should be the Number One album is really something.

Short notes:Thom Yorke's new Album

Really exciting for listen his first solo album The Eraser.But there isn't too much guitars.Vocals are very succesfull as usual.Album's sounds indie electronic,indie pop.There are nine songs in this album.For now,i chose my favorite songs from album Analyse and The Clock.But i think we'll prefer Radiohead,because band means power of working together.

Spotlight :The Lucksmiths

Australian indie-pop trio the Lucksmiths teamed singer/percussionist Tali White, guitarist Marty Donald, and bassist Mark Monnone, longtime school friends who initially bonded over their mutual admiration for the Smiths. After going their separate ways to attend university and travel, the threesome reconvened in their native Melbourne in early 1993, playing their debut gig that April opening for the Sugargliders.

The Lucksmiths' debut tape was soon released, and in 1994 the group resurfaced with an EP, Boondoggle. After signing with the local Candle imprint, the Lucksmiths released their first CD effort, The Green Bicycle Case. What Bird Is That? followed a year later, and in 1997 the band made its American debut with the single "The Invention of Ordinary Everyday Things," released via the small Michigan label Drive-In Records. Following the release of the 1998 full-length A Good Kind of Nervous, the Lucksmiths played a handful of European dates in support of Belle & Sebastian, a frequent reference point not only in light of the Lucksmiths' wispy folk-pop sound but also their self-effacingly witty lyrics.

I can recommend to you their last two album Why doesn't that surprise me and Warmer Corners (buy).Especially,Why doesn't that surprise me is great to meet with their music.I think their best song is music to hold hands to.You can listen their four song from Myspace
