Alan Jackson Drive Contemporary Country Music CD Review

By Clyde Lee Dennis

Drive is the latest Contemporary Country CD put out by the very talented Alan Jackson who once again has delivered a brilliant collection of tracks. I'm confident Alan Jackson fans, and Contemporary Country fans alike will be pleased with this one.

It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that's exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all.

Drive is a pleasantly varied, mix of 13 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly superb artist. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.

Overall Drive is outstanding from beginning to end. One of those CDs that after a few listens the songs are just etched into your memory. A must have for the Contemporary Country fan. Really sensational from beginning to end.

While this entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 2 - A Little Bluer Than That, track 9 - Once In A Lifetime Love, and track 13 - Where Were you.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 11 - I Slipped And Fell In Love. Outstanding!

The Pressing Need for No-Glitch Voice Over Services

By Rajeev Dixit   With the world turning into one global village, the need for voice over talents has risen. The global village we envision the world to be has to speak a certain language. This happens to be English, for some it's the standard American English for other it's British English. The role of language in the expression of arts, culture, information and intellectual pursuits is indispensable. As today's people have become more attuned and interested in their neighboring countries and their cultures, the demand for multiple language voice over services has surpassed its merely trending status and is more likely to stay for good. This is much more applicable for voice over services. Businesses today normally demand high technological functions such as multilingual voice recognition as well as speech to text communication.

A Review of Musicnotes - Digital Sheet Music Dealer

Are you a musician? Can you find the sheet music you want? If you are anything like me, then the answer is no. Although the town I live in isn't that small, there still isn't a large selection of stores when it comes to music. There is only one small music store that I go to (and only on rare occasions) when I need something immediately, like guitar strings for example. When I want to buy sheet music though, that little shop isn't much help. There is only a small selection of sheet music for the most popular genres and most popular instruments. If you want to play Beethoven piano arrangements then you are fine, but if you want something else then you are out of luck. I couldn't find what I wanted in my area, so shopping online was my only alternative. After trying different online sheet music dealers I finally came across one that I really liked-Musicnotes. This website offered instant digital sheet music and I thought it sounded cool, but wasn't sure
