Desejos Vaos (Vain Desires) 3:33 @192 Kbit/s mp3 Standing out amid a very strong crop of young new fado singers, Mozambique-born Mariza returns with Transparente, her third album. While her second, Fado Curvo, announced her as a great new voice on the scene, this one reaffirms that flowering promise while expanding the depth of her range. She gets help from great Brazilian cellist, arranger and producer Jacques Morelenbaum, who adds a lush orchestral backdrop to this folksy torch song form, extending the bittersweet melodies even though it does file away some of the edges. No matter, the singer's phrasing and timing are calibrated for drama, and her voice soars with happiness or quivers with passion. Highlights include a panoramic version of the fado traditional "O Silencio da Guitarra" and a small group rendering of "Recusa." Her moving away from the tradition may trouble purist, but this album endears itself easily if given a listen. -- Tad Hendrickson Download: http://rapidshare.com/files/285820001/W_Fado__2005_MarizaTransparente__192.rar

Johnny Cash The Songs That Made Him Famous Artist: Johnny Cash CD title: The Songs That Made Him Famous Release Date: 1959 Label: Varese Sarabande Number of discs: 1 Length: 00:28:48 Bitrate: 160-320 Mbit/s mp3 On this album: 1. "Ballad of a Teenage Queen" (Jack Clement) – 2:13 2. "There You Go" (Cash) – 2:19 3. "I Walk the Line" (Cash) – 2:46 4. "Don't Make Me Go" (Cash) – 2:31 5. "Train of Love" (Cash) – 2:24 6. "Guess Things Happen That Way" (Clement) – 1:52 7. "The Ways of a Woman in Love" (Bill Justis, Charlie Rich) – 2:16 8. "Next in Line" (Cash) – 2:49 9. "You're the Nearest Thing to Heaven" (Jim Atkins, Cash, Hoyt Johnson) – 2:42 10. "I Can't Help It (If I'm Still in Love With You)" (Hank Williams) – 1:49 11. "Home of the Blues" (Cash, Glen Douglas, Vic McAlpin) – 2:41 12. "Big River" (Cash) – 2:35 @160-320 Mbit/s mp3 Cash's third Sun album is wall-to-wall classic early Cash, and wall-to-wall hit singles. Eleven of the original twelve tracks (everything except for a cover of Hank Williams' "I Can't Help It (If I'm Still in Love With You)" hit the top-10 of the county charts (with four #1s!), and five crossed over to the pop charts (with three top-20s!). Included among the track list are several icons of the Cash's catalog, such as "I Walk the Line" and "Big River." The original twelve tracks have been anthologized in numerous other places (e.g., Varese's fine 2-CD "The Complete Original Singles" includes all but the non-single track), but never have they been reissued on CD in this original album form. At the time of issue, this 1959 album was really a compilation of successful Cash Sun singles of '56, '57 and '58. And though the single was king at the time, many listeners first brought these recordings home in this long-playing form. Those remembering their album purchase will enjoy revisiting the song sequence, as will those who've only heard these songs on Cash compilations. Varese's CD reissue augments the original dozen tracks with four bonuses, including three alternate takes and the undubbed master of "Ballad of a Teenage Queen." The latter is fascinating in its presentation of Cash and the Tennessee Two, stripped of Jack Clement's bombastic (and, to be fair, hit-single making) production. Though the single's bouncier rhythm line and backing choir (especially Cyd Mostreller's falsetto) were memorable hooks, the folk-like simplicity of the basic track focusses stirringly on Cash's baritone. Alternate takes of "The Ways of a Woman in Love" and "Guess That Things Happen That Way" are similarly revealed from Clement's overdubbed hit singles. Though the original dozen tracks appear on several other collections, hearing them in album sequence, especially with the four bonus tracks, makes this a worthwhile spin for Cash collectors and neophytes alike.
