...peak. Writers often rave about how Sherrill persuaded Jones to explore a greater range, but the high-lonesome sound on this cut has a rawness and emotion that travels even further into the heart than his more mannered later efforts. If you agree, "Cup of Loneliness," a 1994 double-CD, is worth the investment. It has 51 songs (with hardly a dud), excellent liner notes, and has been carefully re-mastered from the original recordings...
...George Jones, unlike contemporaries Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard, has never been thought of much as a songwriter. But in his early career he provided much of his own material, as displayed on "Cup of Loneliness," a superb double-CD compilation of his late-Fifties/early-Sixties recordings. The majority of the tracks on the first disc are either written or co-written by Jones, most often with boyhood pal Darrell Edwards. That includes "Mr. Fool," a languid honky-tonker about lost love that is perhaps the supreme recorded example of Jones's exquisite phrasing. "No one can ever call...
...identity. European colonies extended rights of denization (a preliminary to citizenship) to those coming from any part of Europe ? including Jews ? before such rights were available in the respective mother countries.

Theft in the digital world, whether of software or of songs, does not seem to carry the moral freighting of theft in the material world--of shoplifting a CD, for example. Yet the fact that we may not be able to prevent theft on a small scale does not mean we should condone it on a large scale...
Material mom, faux East Indian princess, club-hopping sugar mama--Madonna moves from phase to phase with lunar remoteness. As on her last CD, Ray of Light, she continues to navigate her way through electronica, this time with French producer Mirwais Ahmadzai. Less adventurous than Ray, Music is more consistent. Madonna has to work hard to summon real emotion, but a few songs, including the skittery Don't Tell Me, manage a dry pathos. Locked in orbit high above mere mortals, she still has the power, on occasion, to turn our tides...
