Artist's Choice: Sarah McLachlan Review by William Tilland
For the most part, musicians are not terribly articulate about their musical likes and dislikes. After all, that's not how they make a living. However, good musicians are almost without exception attracted to musical excellence in some form or another, and the more eclectic their own creative efforts, the wider the net they are likely to cast as listeners. Sarah McLachlan's typical comments about the music she has selected for this Artist's Choice CD don't get much beyond "simple," "beautiful," and "heartbreaking" – but within these vague boundaries, she offers up everyone from Cat Stevens and R.E.M. to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Willie Nelson, and Clannad. It's not always a terribly cohesive program; the stylistic leap from Ali Khan to Emmylou Harris, for example, may represent an aesthetic challenge for some listeners.

Artist's Choice: Lucinda Williams Review by William Tilland
Lucinda Williams is really an ideal candidate for Hear Music's Artist's Choice, and this collection has to be one of the strongest in the entire series. In her own work, Williams offers a winning and sometimes complex combination of passion, perfectionist tendencies, and poetic intelligence. Similarly, her 16 eclectic choices on this disc provide the same overall balance of wit, charm, craft, and passion, with different qualities predominating from song to song and artist to artist. While many of the participants in the Artist's Choice series choose to reintroduce us to old standards which were a part of their early creative development, Williams brings a connoisseur's ear to her assignment, and while she pays homage to a few artist from earlier decades, she selects nothing prior to the '60s (with the exception of Chet Baker's version of "My Funny Valentine," which she heard in her parents' home when she was growing up).

Hear Music is a small group of passionate music lovers creating CDs that help people discover all the great music out there. We came up with the idea for Artist’s Choice CDs because we always wanted to know what our favorite artists were listening to. We’re very grateful to Norah Jones for making this a terrific project. We caught up with Norah Jones in New York City where she took some time to sit down and talk to us about the musical influences in her life — the songs she heard in the car when she was a kid, the importance of Ray Charles, and why she loves the sound of Levon Helm’s voice. Spend an hour with Norah Jones’ record collection.

Artist's Choice: Rolling Stones Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Released as part of Hear Music's ongoing Artist's Choice series, where major artists pick "the music that matters to them," the 2003 compilation Artist's Choice: Rolling Stones finds Mick, Keith, Charlie, and Ronnie running through 16 recordings of their favorite songs by other artists. It should come as no surprise that blues, R&B, soul, old-time rock & roll and reggae with a hint of funk form the core of the collection, since that's what's at the root of the Stones. In fact, the only left-field choices are Mick's pick of Sade's "By Your Side" and Ronnie hauling out the Beach Boys' "I Just Wasn't Made for These Times" at the end of the record. But even if this is a bit predictable, it is a good selection of songs – hard to go wrong with Robert Johnson, Otis Redding, Eddie Cochran, Andre Williams, Sly & the Family Stone, the Isley Brothers, and (of course) Muddy Waters, after all – and the track-by-track commentary by the Stones is entertaining and lively (no more so when Keith assumes the still-alive Andre Williams is dead and, if he's not, "he's probably doing time"). You could do far worse with your money.
