“In fact a great album” I am not very familiar with the works of Cat Stevens. In fact apart from his chart hits the only record I know well is Foreigner Suite. I have been adding to my music collection lately and decided on some Cat Stevens. I have been reading the [...]
Real Wheels – Truck Adventures (There Goes a Truck/Fire Truck/Garbage Truck)
“The ultimate Truck adventure for young ones” The famous Dave of Real Wheels makes another appearance, this time as a truck diver. This DVD is loaded with all sorts of trucks and great images of many different types. My youngest was enthralled by the comparison of his backyard toy trucks to the [...]
Last Chance for a Thousand Years: Greatest Hits from the 90’s
“as always, Dwight delivers” Of course, I’m biased, being a long-time Dwight Yoakam fan. This is a great greatest hits package (his second; see also the excellent early-Dwight “Just Lookin’ for A Hit,” his first greatest hits album). This album is a collection of excellent material (from the album “If There Was [...]
Ultimate Waylon Jennings
“Essential Songs” While I mostly listen to more modern country now (since that is what is on the radio) I got started on the classics. I rediscovered in college my love for the old bad boys of country music. This album is a must if you like the old outlaws of this [...]
Man of La Mancha: A Decca Broadway Original Cast Album (Original 1965 Broadway Cast)
“What more needs to be said?” I was hooked on “Man of LaMancha” when I heard excerpts played on the radio in the mid-60s. I enjoyed adding “The Impossible Dream” to my personal repertoire.I was enthralled by a dinner theater staging I saw in the early 70s. And, like most, I was [...]
From the Reach
“EVERY SONG IS TOP NOTCH!” I’ve been a diehard fan since South of I-10. With each CD release, I’d say “No way can he top this one”. Time and again he does just that. I believe many Sonny fans will agree that while he’s widely known among his peers, he’s seemingly unnoticed by the [...]
Minutes to Midnight
“sell out” this album is sad. it is far from the rockin’ Hybrid Theory. i am very disappointed that i have wasted my money on this one! they really need to pick up the pace. i don’t want ballads from these guys.
That Was the Year That Was
“This is so awesome!” i am an 80s child, my parents are 50s children. I heard this CD and thought it was HILARIOUS!! At camp when i was with other kids my age there were two who knew and loved this record/cd as well. it is a timeless classic in [...]
Chris Botti: Live (With Orchestra and Special Guests) [Blu-ray]
“Great Combo – CD & DVD” You get 2 (CD & DVD) for the price of 1.
Great music and cast. Two-thumbs up!!!
Bad Company
“Good Debut Album but get the Remastered version.” Back in the old days when albums just a little over 30 minutes long would still sell, Bad Company made an album that’s become a classic rock staple and beloved by millions around the world. For those of us brought up on the much better [...]
Battlestar Galactica: Season One
“Great music indeed!” After enjoying the score for the Battlestar Galactica 2003 mini-series by Richard Gibbs (with Bear McCreary) I was keen to hear how they would continue with their brooding, minimalistic style in the series. Well, they stayed true to the same musical textures but built upon them with greater ethnic diversety and [...]
’80s Pop Hits
“I love ’80s music, but…” I LOVE ’80s music (I grew up in that era), but only about half of the songs on this CD are among my favorites from that era. The other half of the songs, I either tolerated back then or didn’t like at all. I’ve seen better ’80s collections. (Also, [...]
Stephen Lynch – Live at The El Rey
“Unbelievable” Stephen Lynch is pure madness. If you are unaffected by taboo subjects, he is simply the best there is at what he does. I never knew these topics could be set to music.
Live in Paris
“‘S wonderful! ‘S marvelous!” Live in Paris was recorded at the Paris Olympia on November 29 through December 2, 2001 during Diana Krall’s 2001 world tour. Meticulously produced by Tommy LiPuma (known for his work with Miles Davis, Al Jarreau, Anita Baker, and Natalie Cole on Unforgettable: With Love) and engineered by Al Schmitt [...]
Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall
“Fine album; a bit over-rated” This is a good album, and should be included in an any Monk lover’s collection. That said, I think it got more hype than it deserves because of how it was discovered. There is a reason Monk and Coltrane didn’t do more together: To play well with Monk, you [...]
