UPC: 0042284800020 Condition: New CD The fourth studio release from the Atlanta-based trio Drivin' N' Cryin' found the band managing to make inroads onto the national scene following years of being a major attraction in the South. Building on a base of Southern-styled rock, they infuse 11 tracks on Fly Me Courageous with elements of R.E.M.-like jangle folk and more muscular, hard-driving guitar rock while never losing their sense of melody. Lead singer Kevn Kinney possesses a distinct voice with a nasally quality and he's backed ably by bassist Tim Nielsen, guitarist Buren Fowler, and drummer Jeff Sullivan. The thunderous, politically charged title track (built around an instantly arresting guitar riff) deservedly received heavy airplay, but other standout tracks include the driving "Around the Block Again," the boogie stomp of "Chain Reaction," and the sweetly muted, folk-tinged "For You." Fly Me Courageous proved to be Drivin' N' Cryin''s finest moment, both commercially and artistically. ~ Tom Demalon, Rovi

6. The Best of John Denver [Madacy] (CD) by John Denver

0056775475024. New condition. CD. Madacy's The Best of John Denver is an imperfect collection, but it does contain 14 of his very best songs -- including "Rocky Mountain High," "Annie's Song," "Take Me Home, Country Roads," "Leaving on a Jet Plane," "Sunshine on My Shoulders," "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" -- which makes it worth its bargain price. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

7. Days of Open Hand (CD) by Suzanne Vega

0075021529328. New condition. CD. Suzanne Vega is a beautiful example of an artist excelling despite her limitations. While the singer-songwriter doesn't have much of a voice, she has no problem being incredibly expressive. Subtlety is the quality that defines Days of Open Hand, an album every bit as compelling as the superb Solitude Standing. Vega doesn't need to shout or preach in order to get her points across. On "Men in a War," the folk-pop-rock explorer examines the plight of disabled veterans without expressing the type of anger that Bruce Cockburn would when addressing such a subject. Restrained and understated, treasures like "Those Whole Girls (Run in Grace)," "Rusted Pipe" and "Room Off the Street" and the unsettling "Institution Green" show that for all their delicacy, Vega's songs can be quite meaty and give listeners a great deal to think about. ~ Alex Henderson, Rovi

9. John Denver (CD) by John Denver

CD. With John Denver, Denver seemed to be making attempts to change his pastoral country boy image. The cover photo shows him in an intense, energy-charged performance shot, while the instrumentation is more lush and relies less on acoustic guitar than previous efforts. His own "Downhill Stuff," and a cover of "Johnny B. Goode" are rock numbers, while Bryan Bowers' "Berkeley Woman" is an uncharacteristically lustful song for Denver to record. Elsewhere, the haunting flute of Jim Horn on "Joseph and Joe," and Herb Pedersen's warm "Southwind" make the album a worthwhile buy. ~ Rob Caldwell, Rovi
