Mat Kearney Young Love - album review

Mat Kearney has an enjoyable new CD available; Young Love; his fourth album release. The albums first single, “Hey Mama” was released on May 10, 2011; and the entire album in August 2011.. Young Love has topped the Top Christian Albums, Top Digital Albums, and Top Rock Albums charts. 

The album has a raw quality to it. A distinct drum beat, almost Jazz Funeral Band likeness to my untrained ear; which could become monotonous; however, the song line up mixes it up enough for relief. A mostly up beat offering, the chart popularity isn’t wrong!

You can find live performances list on Kearney’s website: http://www.matkearney.com/events.aspx.

An you can find his album available for sale at Amazon

Nora Jones - New Album - Featuring

Nora Jones new album Featuring is available for purchase as of November 16th. I received a copy of it for review. The album is a creation that took a decade to create. Each title is a collaboration with a variety of popular artists. Reading through the tracks it is a who’s who in the music industry.

Artists and crafters tend to like to listen to music as they create. This album would serve the purpose of setting a creative mood well. It is easy to listen too and rather calming.  If you close your eyes, it sounds like the musicians are right there beside you playing without any fancy technology altering the performances.
