England Dan Some Things Dont Come Easy Pop Music CD Review
One word describes the CD Some Things Dont Come Easy from England Dan… AWESOME!
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 Some Things Dont Come Easy. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
Some Things Dont Come Easy is a pleasantly varied, mix of 11 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly gifted artist. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They’re all here.
I’m of the opinion that Some Things Dont Come Easy is certainly England Dan’s best work in a few years. A totally enjoyable CD and an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up because it’s a collection that even the casual Pop fan can appreciate and enjoy.
While this entire album is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 2 – If The World Ran Out Of Love Tonight, track 6 – We’ll Never Have To Say Goodbye Again, and track 11 – Just The Two Of Us.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Some Things Don’t Come Easy. Good stuff!

Jim Brickman Simple Things Pop Music CD Review
Richly talented Pop artist Jim Brickman has released him latest CD titled Simple Things and Wow! It’s really a good one.
This one will grab your attention right from the beginning with The Promise and doesn’t let go until the very last note of the very last song It Must Be You, which by the way is another great track.
Jim Brickman possesses the characteristic of being able to win you over with him talent alone. The kind of artist I really enjoy listening to.
If you’re a Jim Brickman fan, or just a fan of Pop music this is a CD your collection simply should not be without.
While this entire CD is outstanding some of my favorites are track 4 – Another Tuesday Morning, track 6 – Waiting For You, and track 12 – It Must Be You
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – The Promise. Wow!
