by Vonda Shepard

"Most of the cover songs from the hit series' first year, from 'Hooked on a Feeling' to a lovely reading of the '60s nugget 'Walk Away Renee.'"

Ingenue
by K.D. Lang

"Emphasizing desire and obsession, this album is a charmer, thanks to Lang's sincerity and passion, and the smoldering arrangements."

Kind of Blue
by Miles Davis

The Icon is Love
by Barry White

"The master of seduction emphasizes funkiness on this disc, and his bottomless baritone guarantees satisfaction."

City of Angels (Soundtrack)
by Various Artists

"New songs by Alanis Morissette and Peter Gabriel are the bait in these 14 tracks of wistful uncertainty and moody isolation."."

Surfacing (Enhanced )
by Sarah McLachlan

"There are gorgeously melodic and deeply heartfelt songs here -- including the addictive "Sweet Surrender" -- on this short, bittersweet album."

Solitude
by Billie Holiday

The Road to Ensenada
by Lyle Lovett

"Lovett is simply one of the best American singer-songwriters, whether playing raconteur, philosopher king, or wounded romantic."
