Angel's voice - James Blunt

Strangely, as Blunt family in the military, so distant from the music, can be born of such a gifted boy like James. A kid born in a military hospital in the town of Hampshire. With small parents taught him to a strict military discipline. The house never music. At the age of seven years, James was sent to study at a boarding school, the in-depth study of natural sciences and mathematics. It all started with the fact that James has decided to learn to play the piano. Then it took in the school musical. From that moment in the life of James ceased to be anything other than music. He loved Queen and Dire Straits. In 14 years, he coined the guitar melodies of Nirvana (Nirvana), and soon began writing his own songs.

James served as intelligence officer. Pristina patrolling the neighborhood, it is not even in the tank parted with his guitar. At 22 - summer Blanta stay in Kosovo, where the effects are still felt by a brutal civil war, and where the last ten years have not stopped the bloodshed, has made an enormous impression. In one of the few quiet moments he wrote the song "No Baverly", the final song from the album "Back to Bedlam." "I wrote it when shoes lying in a sleeping bag in front of his tank. We had to sleep in shoes - recalls James Blunt - rather fatalisticheskaya song, as did the whole album in general "- he says dry.

In 2002, armed with several demo recordings very questionable quality, James left the Army to devote all his time to the music.

Paul Simon Surprise Rock Music CD Review

Surprise is the latest release from Rock Sensation Paul Simon, and I can only think of one word to describe this CD… AWESOME!

Unfortunately, it’s not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Surprise. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

Paul Simon has been a heavy hitter in the Rock genre for quite a while now and Surprise is an excellent illustration as to why. One of the nicer things about a CD like this is with this level of talent even if Rock isn’t your favorite genre you still can’t help but appreciate the greatness of the artist.

Rock music fans will recognize some of the well known guests that have been assembled to play along with Simon on several of the tracks. Artists like Bill Frisell and Herbie Hancock just to name a couple.

If you’re a Paul Simon fan, or just a fan of Rock music this is a CD your collection simply should not be without as Surprise is a very solid release. Quite possibly Paul Simon's best mp3 songs download to date. Really spectacular from beginning to end. If you're even mildly into Rock music you'll enjoy this CD.

While this entire CD is outstanding some of my favorites are track 1 - How Can You Live In The Northeast, track 2 - Everything About It Is A Love Song, and track 9 - Once Upon A Time There Was An Ocean

My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 4 - Sure Don't Feel Like Love. Wow!
