Not Just Any Music Reviews

The reviews you find here will reflect my personal taste. Don't expect to find reviews of the latest hot project by the newest "Idol". Some reviews will be current; some will be timeless. I will review only music I think is worthwhile, so don't look here if you want to see any artist put down or insulted.

My tastes are wide ranging and cover many genres and artists, hence the name of this blog, "Eclectic Music Reviews".

Some artists I enjoy are (in no particular order): Richard Thompson, Linda Thompson, Pat Metheny, Chinmaya Dunster, Jai Uttal, Nick Drake, Van Morrison, Joe Pass, Louis Armstrong, Bryan Ferry, Bill Frisell, The Cottars, Daniel Paul, Habib Koite, Johnny Clegg, Lizz Wright, Ozzie Kotani, Pink Martini, Pepe and the Bottle Blondes, Rodrigo y Gabriella, Steve Tyrell, The Chieftains, The Mavericks. That is only a very partial list.

I own around 1000 CD's, in many different styles-jazz, folk, rock, world, alternative, new age, folk-rock, singer-songwriters, traditional, classical, some difficult to classify. I don't like rap, hip-hop, techno-pop, and any music focused primarily in anger, and hatred.

This has been a small introduction into what I want to present here; my first review will be posted tomorrow.
