![[Image: 220px-The_Band_%28album%29_coverart.jpg]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:The_Band_(album)_coverart.jpg) THE BAND "the band" cd, 1969: their second album... I own the debut and this one, both excellent IMO... love just about every track on this one but will post something a little different from the usual suspects this time round... I LOVE THIS ALBUM:
"BTO....Bachman,Turner,Overweight
They were big in the 70s....for five minutes,on a Saturday,after lunch..." - Me 2014.

![[Image: 220px-RebaOnes.jpg]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:RebaOnes.jpg) REBA McENTIRE "Reba #1's" cd, 2005 two disc set of Reba's #1 hits up to 2005... this is the first disc im posting now... sixteen number ones and one newly recorded track to open the disc... that new tune fits well, its a good song, it was released as a single but failed to reach the top 40, I guess everyone who wanted it bought the album... a sensational disc of hits here from bluegrass, traditional country, alternative country and folky ballads... only thing I don't like is her cover of Phil and Don's "cathy's clown" which has a totally different arrangement to the original and some songs should be left alone, period!... finding it hard to pick a favourite track off this one and that's generally the case with an album this good because I LOVE THIS ALBUM this was a #1 hit from 1985:
"BTO....Bachman,Turner,Overweight
They were big in the 70s....for five minutes,on a Saturday,after lunch..." - Me 2014.

REBA McENTIRE "Reba #1's" cd, 2005 disc 2 of the two disc compilation of #1 hits... even less country on here than the first disc... shes more a ballad love song artist now... again, love just about everything on this disc... could have picked just about all the tracks for a favourite so a stab in the dark for this one, which incidently is something i'd like to give Reba LOL I LOVE THIS ALBUM

I love Loretta and Conway but theres something about this album that really annoys me.... the songs are okay though, nothing too much with them, theres just something missing. a spark, chemistry, not sure... the title track:
"BTO....Bachman,Turner,Overweight
They were big in the 70s....for five minutes,on a Saturday,after lunch..." - Me 2014.

![[Image: 220px-Mumfordsonssighnomore.jpg]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mumfordsonssighnomore.jpg) MUMFORD & SONS "sigh no more" cd, 2009: picked out five "M" cds to play over the next few days and McCartney wasn't one of them!... first up, Mumfords…. wasn't sure about this alt-folk one... loved it when it was released, sort of like the second album, hated the third(didn't buy that one), thought their fourth was a step back in the right direction and bought it... phew!, I need not have worried, this one still stands up well as a folk, alt-folk, bluegrass album.. good stuff, I LOVE THIS ALBUM title track:
"BTO....Bachman,Turner,Overweight
They were big in the 70s....for five minutes,on a Saturday,after lunch..." - Me 2014.

Felt like listening to Gordon Lightfoot and chose Summertime Dream because of "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald".

![[Image: 220px-Need_You_Now_album_cover.jpg]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Need_You_Now_album_cover.jpg) LADY ANTEBELLUM "need you now" cd, 2010: the band's second, I own the debut and obviously this one... I went off them after this album, I guess I thought their music got crap.... im still not convinced these guys are country, well, not real country anyway... a good crossover album, nothing I dislike and nothing I love neither... I LIKE THIS ALBUM from the album:

![[Image: R-738067-1300210265.jpeg.jpg]](https://img.discogs.com/De71ela7HDFCM4MvBGiB6kEzsXs=/fit-in/300x300/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(40)/discogs-images/R-738067-1300210265.jpeg.jpg) Their one and only proper album - there's a '2' but it's outtakes and demos etc. Basically an offshoot of Fairport Convention - what a pity Sandy Denny died so young - amazing talent. She sings lead on a lot of these but so does Trevor Lucas, her longterm boyfriend then husband. They do a fantastic cover of Gordon Lightfoot's "The Way I Feel", IMHO - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUeTVLZoMeg - but then it would be difficult to fault any of the tracks. Fab album. This is the opener - "Nothing More" - written by Sandy Denny
