by
Various Artists
The Now series is known for crossing the boundaries of record labels in its attempt to provide definitive collections of hits -- usually from contemporary hits, but also of different eras and styles from the past (at least in its U.K. incarnation). Thankfully, the double-disc, 36-track collection Now That's What I Call Christmas! lives up to the ...

Actually an extension and improvement upon White Mansions. Rock and folk stars doing Civil War songs, all well done. A good companion to the Dirt Band's Will the Circle Be Unbroken. ~ Bruce Eder, All Music Guide

Kathy Mattea
Walking Away a Winner is the rocked-up/pop side of Kathy Mattea. With records by Mary Chapin Carpenter gathering steam as well as those of Beth Nielsen Chapman, Lucinda Williams getting some notice, and Bonnie Raitt riding the very top of the charts over the previous two years, Mattea took a listen and apparently liked what she heard. There are ...

by
Kathy Mattea
The year 1989 was awesome for Kathy Mattea. Her brand of country-pop music began to evolve toward folk and Celtic-oriented influences, which were actually encouraged by her label -- changes like this in Nash Vegas are few and far between -- and what's more, it all translated in terms of chart success and record sales. A strong and indeed the first ...

Kathy Mattea
Kathy Mattea's album for the Christmas season is unlike any country Christmas record ever released. For starters, she and producer Brent Maher commissioned original songs rather than taking them from the canon, or adapted obscure songs from the ages. Secondly, the band was formed around what served each song to make it feel as organic as possible. ...

by
Various Artists
Conceived as a tribute to Taylor guitars, this recording manages to transcend any stereotypes of projects dedicated to the advancement of a business principle or product. That's due to the quality of the performers, the pieces they play, and the passion they bring to them. There's really not a misstep in the bunch. Guitar slingers from Russ ...

Right Out of Nowhere

Kathy Mattea
Veteran country singer Kathy Mattea returns with her third album on Narada, and it's easily her most consistent since she joined the label. Self-produced, Mattea once more layers in all her favorite touches like Bill Cooley's bouzouki and Randy Leago playing both accordion and sitar on the title cut, which opens the set. This track underscores a ...

Kathy Mattea
On her most ambitious album, Mattea gets impeccably chosen songs (as usual) and strong supporting performances (from Emmylou Harris, Dougie MacLean, and the Roches). She doesn't write her own stuff, so she may not be the romantic dreamer of "Asking Us to Dance," but she sure sounds like it. Songs like "Time Passes By," co-written by husband Jon ...

This is a fair collection, as far as giving us an overview of Mercury Records' country releases from its very first year of operation. The first notable voice heard here is Don Gibson, as a member of the Sons of the Soil; in this company, Flatt & Scruggs' "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" is practically a piece of progressive music, and would be wholly ...
