Home is The Corrs' fifth studio album. An Irish-themed album, it includes covers of old Irish songs and traditionals, but also covers of non-Irish songs, like 'Heart Like A Wheel'. It includes 2 tracks in Irish ("Buachaill Ón Éirne" & "Bríd Óg Ní Mháille") and 3 instrumentals ("Old Hag (You Killed Me)", "Haste To The Wedding", "Return To Fingall"). "Home" is compiled through a songbook of the late Jean Corr (their mother). The album was released exactly 10 years after the release of their very first album "Forgiven, Not Forgotten" and brings the Corrs back to their roots.- From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rhino remastered and expanded Paul Simon's Warner catalog in 2004, boxing up the nine albums released between 1972 and 2000 as The Complete Studio Recordings. This archival work provides the foundation for Legacy's 2013 set The Complete Album Collection, which supplements these expanded reissues – a total of 30 bonus tracks were added to the nine albums, including demos, alternate takes, outtakes, non-LP material, and live cuts (but no original hit version of "Slip Sliding Away," an oversight that remains on this 2013 box) – with the two live albums released on Warner (1974's Paul Simon in Concert: Live Rhymin', 1991's Concert in the Park), the 1965 curiosity The Paul Simon Songbook that he recorded in the wake of the disappointing reception to Simon & Garfunkel's 1964 debut Wednesday Morning 3 AM and, most importantly, the two excellent albums Simon released after 2004: 2006's Surprise and 2011's So Beautiful or So What…
Franco-African jazz singer Cecile Verny, who entered the German jazz charts in Spring 2005 at #13 with her album European Songbook, has set yet another milestone with The Bitter and the Sweet, continuing the tradition for which her ensemble has long been celebrated. Verny applies African roots, French song tradition, and smooth jazz "scat-robatics" to unite the rhythmic, pulsing compositions of her quartet. Here, her incredible voice sounds more personal than ever. Excellent musicians accompany her, highly inspired and very skilled, and their performances demonstrate modern jazz at its best.
