FLY
The Dixie Chicks
Price $ 12.58
After the roaring success of Wide Open Spaces--a blend of
turn-of-the-century pop and country traditionalism--what do you do for an
encore? Rather than deliver more of the same, the Chicks have chosen
instead to up the ante in country radio with a follow-up that's both poppier and
twangier than its predecessor, and just plain better too.

Ready To Run [Import]
The Dixie Chicks
Price $ 10.99
This song is cool. This release has not only "Ready To Run" but also "Wide Open Spaces" which is
also a great song. This group is so-to-say a little of both pop and country, this album on the fast tracks
they go with the pop flavor, and on the slower ones they go with their country roots. This Dixie Chicks
album is something special because you cannot get it in regular stores. If you completely love this song
and not the "Fly" album, then you got to get this, if you are a fan of both Ready to Run and Wide Open
Spaces then get this cause it is hot. Both of these tracks have been burning up the country air waves
with request after request and fans have been getting the full album with just liking the top hits, don't
make the same mistake, buy this, it will make your life a little easier than to have a bunch of nonsense
tracks that you have to skip over time after time.

Wide Open Spaces
The Dixie Chicks
Price $ 12.58
The major-label debut from this Texas trio proves their instrumental abilities,
blending more traditional twang with slow melodic blues, foot-tapping rockabilly,
and bluegrass-inspired pop harmonies. From the opener, "I Can Love You
Better," the Chicks let their love of music and genuine joy shine through while
the energy on this album reminds one of Carlene Carter. Solid musicianship,
top-notch vocal performances, and infectious pop hooks make this a stellar
project.

Broke Down
Slaid Cleaves
Price $ 13.99
Singer-songwriter Slaid Cleaves builds a bridge between New
England, where he grew up, and Texas, where he now lives. Cleaves's voice often affects a
yearning quality reminiscent of traditional Irish music, and his songs are populated by the sort of
tragic characters familiar to old folk ballads. In "Cold and Lonely," a poor farmer grieves for his
dead wife and children, while the narrative "Breakfast in Hell" is a Canadian logger's answer to
"John Henry." The suffering takes a more personal turn in "One Good Year," where Cleaves
laments, "It's a bitter wind, in your face every day / It's the little sins, that wear your soul away."
But just when the downcast mood begins to grow oppressive, Cleaves comes back with the
defiant "Bring It On" and the redemptive "This Morning I Am Born Again," featuring Woody
Guthrie's amazing lyrics set to new music.

Life's Other Side
Slaid Cleaves
Price $ 15.19
russell ferguson:
I heard Broke Down for the first time on KFAN - Texas Rebel Radio and thought that this is the
best example of song writing that I have heard in a long time. The rest of the album is definitely
reflective of what song writing should be.

No Angel Knows
Slaid Cleaves
Price $ 13.99
Slaid Cleaves's
way of writing and singing a song is a Godsend to those of us who can't quite get behind urban
folk in the way we wish we could. His voice is direct, gentle and a little country, sincere and
clear. The production on his CDs is wonderful. His songs are honest and descriptive. He
reminds me a bit of Tom Dundee and a bit of Greg Brown but he's not like either of them. He's
bright and sensitive and not particularly angst-ridden, as far as I can tell, and that's _OK_, and I
recommend him very, very hightly to you.
