Collin Raye Walls Came Down Country Music CD Review

by Clyde Dennis

Walls Came Down is the latest release from Country Artist Collin Raye, and is another great one from this talented musician.

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 Walls Came Down. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

Walls Came Down has a pleasantly varied, mix of 13 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly gifted 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.

Walls Came Down is a first rate CD, delivering a little something for everyone. I give it two thumbs up. It's quite simply great listening. A must buy if you're even mildly into Country music.

While this entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 2 - I Wish I Could, track 5 - Someone You Used To Know, and track 13 - The Eleventh Commandment

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Anyone Else. 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.

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
