Tim McGraw is one of contemporary country's finest singers and his love songs are already becoming classics. This album of greatest hits is a mix of love songs and livin' songs. It includes "Like We Never Loved At All" (with Faith Hill), "She's My Kind of Rain," and "When Stars Go Blue." Gone are country music's days of hokey, cry-in-your-beer, broken-hearted bust-up songs; these tracks are beautifully-crafted, heartfelt, and passionate. Buy it at Amazon
He may only be twentysomething but he channels a mix of Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald blended with a modern rock sensibility for a truly unique sound. On this album he takes on love song standards like "I Get A Kick Out Of You" and gives them a whole new twist. Another high point is the haunting Jimi Hendrix hit, "Wind Cries Mary." Cullum's choice of love songs is eclectic and impeccable. His interpretations are surprising, exciting, and unforgettable. This is definitely worth checking out!

In my opinion Mariah Carey, on this album, finally realizes her full potential as an artist. He voice is an expressive instrument connected straight to her heart. This is a sexy, sensual album with lots of passion and emotion. Highlights include "We Belong Together,""Say Somethin'" and the superb lost-in-love ballad "Mine Again." The production is rich with harmonies, beats, and flights of orchestral fantasy. A real treat for lovers of urban soul.

Tori Amos writes unusual, original, honest, immensely captivating songs and sings them with a unique style that makes the lyrics come alive. 'Bittersweet' is the word that best describes these songs and Amos's relationships with men and with life. The stunning "Sleeps With Butterflies" is typical of this singer-songwriter's ability to paint portraits of people, of emotions, of people caught up in emotions. She has reined in some of her previous vocal preciousness and now uses her voice to pull you into her intriguing tales of encounters brief and not-so-brief. Highlights include: "Sleeps With Butterflies," "Ireland," "Sweet The Sting," and "Parasol."
