Chris Jorgensen Billings Gazette 2004
Best when he's hard country like his honky-tonk opener "I Quit Drinkin".

About the Artist
James Daniel Devine

James comes from a very musical family and writing songs came naturally. In 1993, James took his first batch of songs to Nashville and played at some writer's nights. Encouraged in Nashville, James went back home to Montana and kept writing. In 1995, after many trips to Nashville, Polygram Music gave James a call and offered him his first single song contract for a tune called "Love Talks and Money Walks". In 2002, through contacts made from many trips to Nashville, James recorded his first full length CD with the help of Country Singer Doug Stone. Doug co-produced and played drums on the album self titled "James Daniel Devine". James co-wrote or wrote all 9 songs including "Lyin' To Myself" which was co-written with Doug, Lisa Zanghi, and Scott Schevel. Doug also recorded the song on his 2002 album "The Long Way". That was James' first nationally released song as a writer. In 2004 James released his second album called "World Goes 'Round", which was featured on National Public Radio (NPR). In 2005, the title cut, "World Goes 'Round" was also recorded by Doug Store and was featured on Doug's "In a Different Light" album showcase special on Great American Country (GAC) TV. Currently James plays in a duo called "The Prairie Dogs". They perform in clubs, casinos, fairs, and steak houses from Livingston, Montana to Newtown, North Dakota. His original songs remain the crowd favorites.James has played in shows featuring country artists Terri Clark, Dan Seals, Jeannie Seely, Jack Greene, Jim Ed Brown, Helen Cornelius, Moore and Moore, Michael Peterson, Doug Stone, and Keith Cochran.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous for any Broadway-lover.......2007-01-30

Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.

5 out of 5 stars Top Shelf.......2007-01-04

This is THE definitive collection of Broadway hits. I have other collections, and none of them measure up. A great deal of care was obviously taken in compiling and presenting this box set. It covers a lot of ground, starting with some long-forgotten but still very enjoyable hits from the days of yore, and finishing with present-day favorites. To the best of my knowledge, the recordings are by those who made them famous. You won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars TERRIFIC CD'S.......2006-03-23

THESE BROADWAY MUSICALS CD'S ARE A BROADWAY LOVERS DREAM. WITH EACH SONG, MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK. BOTH THE FAMILIAR AND THE FORGOTTEN SONGS ARE A TRUE LISTENING PLEASURE. IF YOU LIKE BROADWAY, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET.

5 out of 5 stars Great Collection of Broadways greatest Songs .......2005-06-14

This Collection was perfectly made it has almost all the most famous Broadway songs on this 5 cd set. The Music is great and has Broadways greatest treasures like "Memory""People""With One Look""Give my regards Too Broadway" just to name a few of this numerous cd set with over 100 songs. This is a great buy if you like musicals or The music of Broadway

5 out of 5 stars Great Compilation!.......2005-01-17

If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

4 out of 5 stars good show with good music.......2006-03-04

I had to play in the orchestra for a run of this show last summer and going into it I had never even heard of Kander and Ebb. However, after listening to this music countless times I began to really dig it. Some of the songs are humorous, but pretty much all of them carry a message. Also the singing on this disc is very well done, personally i'm a fan of the performance of "Spider Woman" (I don't know the singer's name). All in all this is a cd worth listening to.

4 out of 5 stars This is a great show..........2004-06-01

Although I have just seen this in Kansas City and no one (in my book) holds a candle to Teri Adams, this recording is the next best thing. These are great songs--half of which are hillariously funny (though much of the humor is interpreted through blocking and facial expression), and the other half are serious. Before I saw this show, I had no idea who Kander and Ebb were, let alone that they wrote so many songs that I already knew and loved. Funny how things like that work...

4 out of 5 stars Great Collection of Broadway Greats........2001-08-18

The music on this CD is just great. Kander and Ebb were probably some of the best composers of all time. This CD has all the classics and some of their lesser known songs. The one thing that made it not get 5 stars was the fact that so many of the songs are mixed together. For example "Quiet Thing" and "Marry Me" were mixed together in an array that really didn't suit either of them all that well. The overall soundtrack is very good, the recording quality is quite good too but I just wish they would have left some of the songs in their full format.

5 out of 5 stars Kander and Ebb Really do "Make the World Go Round".......2001-01-20

If you like show tunes performed by some of the finest singers to ever give voice to them, this CD is an absolute must have! There are so many songs on this CD, and everyone a show stopper, that it's practically a steal at the price. If you are not a Kander and Ebb afficiando, which I am not, you will find yourself asking "did they do THIS ONE, TOO"? The duet by Bob Cuccioli and Jim Walton of "I Don't Remember You" and "Sometimes a Day Goes By" is absolutely fabulous. Every song is done with perfect styling. The arrangements are fabulous and the order of the music is just right. I've seen CD's claiming that "this is the only Broadway CD you'll ever need". Don't believe it. This CD is one that contains the most popular music from some of the most famous and more current shows that I've ever heard. If you love show music (even if you don't know what show these songs are from), you'll love this CD.

4 out of 5 stars A Great Revue.......2000-07-30

The music of Kander & Ebb is some of the best that broadway has to offer, and this show gives you just a taste. All of the performers are wonderful. Karen Ziemba is a particular standout. The flow of the songs is great, as well as the arrangements. If you like Kander & Ebb than this is the cd for you.

2 out of 5 stars OK music.......2006-04-13

This CD is listenable and has some nice music, but has nothing memorable. There is no rousing main theme that I expect from a soundtrack and many of the songs are not particularly good. If you are interested in music from this period, get the soundtracks to "Last of the Mohicans, The Patriot, and A&E's Revolution" (if you can find and afford that last one). Pass on this one.

3 out of 5 stars Worth your time.......2006-01-31

A surprisingly "listenable" and quality work that rises above the documentary/drama series that it was created for.

5 out of 5 stars Correction.......2006-12-13

Now folks, both of what the two other reviewers wrote about the tragical death of Fritz Wunderlich is wrong. Wunderlich died in hospital at September 17 1966. He had broken his skull, when he fell down the stairs in the hunting-house of a friend. Late in the evening of September 16, Wunderlich, as usual when not at home, had phoned his wife in Munich. He was very tired from strolling through the forest the whole day, making out the ideal locations for the hunt, which should start early in the next morning (Wunderlich was a passionate hunter). After he had wished his wife a good night, he went to the staircase in order to go down to his bedroom at the first floor. He still wore his heavy hunting boots - with open shoestrings! As walking downstairs, Wunderlich struggled over the open shoestrings and grabbed for the banisters, which was not more than a rope, fixed to the wall. The banisters teared out, and Wunderlich fell down the whole stairs. Fritz Wunderlich died in hospital the next day. It was only short before his 36'th birthday. An exceptional singing career had come to an untimely end. Some people believe that Wunderlich was drunken at the time of accident. If this is true can't be proven any more. But still this is not what his close friends said, regarding his accident and his death. In my opinion Wunderlich was the last of the really great tenors of the last century. All the tenors which came to fame after him (sorry folks, even such maestros as Pavarotti and Domingo) lack a certain quality in singing. It's the ease of breath flow, or singing on the breath without pushing the voice, it's the overtones, the legato, the mezza voce, the messa di voce and many more things - in short: the overall beauty of the voice through both registers. Wunderlich was the last tenor who had all this. Other examples are Caruso, McCormack, Gigli (despite the sobbing in his later recordings) and of course the wonderful Jussi Björling. But these are only some few names. If you listen for example to the cd's in the box "Famous tenors of the past" you will find that there were many very good and outstanding tenors in the first half of the 20'th century and - as we can only assume - in the time before the invention of the grammophone. Take a close look at todays famous tenors (I know, there are some quite good and promising ones) but what are they in comparison to those tenors (or better to say, to their voices and singing) I just mentioned before?

Please make your own decision.

5 out of 5 stars Fritz Wunderlich can do no wrong...........2006-05-05

... okay, maybe. It's just that I've never heard a recording I didn't love. And I prefer that he sing everything in German even when that means not using original language.

This is a bit strange because I'm most often bugged by Don Carlos and Vepres in Italian (just a personal quirk). Of course, I'm also bugged by dropping the "s" in Don Carlos, which is always incorrect. The man's name IS Carlos whether in Italian or French.

I tried to write Mr. Avila a personal note, but could not, so let me say that Fritz Wunderlich did not die of cancer, but a dreadful accident in Scotland (I'll not go into the whys and wherefores, I just wanted to set PART of the record straight.)

5 out of 5 stars The Wonder of Wunderlich.......2005-11-22

Deutsche Grammophone does it again! This is an extensive 3-cd compilation album featuring the artistry of the great German tenor Fritz Wunderlich in a variety of vocal repertoire - Baroque cantata/oratorio, opera and Lieder. Like the other critic pointed out, I first heard Fritz sinigng a superb Tamino in the Karl Bohm Magic Flute, although I have also heard him sing Lieder opposite the mezzo soprano Christa Ludwig and baritone Dietrich Fischer Dieskau, who were his contemporaries and colleagues. Wunderlich died tragically in 1966 of cancer. He inspired a generation of purely lyric tenors or "tenors di grazie" whose charming voice would never roughen and lack grace. His Germanic style earned him popularity in World War II Europe and he was the leading exponent of Lieder in the 50's. His tenor voice is glorious, as close to a male angel as possible. On this recording, we are treated to sumptuous arias from Bach's Christmas/Easter Oratorios, and movements from 2 cantatas. Also noteworthy are the unsurpassed performances of Mozart tenor heroes- such as Belmonte from "Die Entfuhrung Aus Dem Serail" (Abduction from the Seraglio) and his unbeatable Tamino from Die Zauberflote The Magic Flute. He sings bel canto opera arias fo tenor, from master composers Rossinni, Bellini and Verdi. While I don't much like that he is singing Italian arias in German, one must remember that at this time, in the LP Era of World War II Germany and Austria, German-born opera singers sang Italian opera in German translation/revisions. While many German singers could indeed sing in Italian, they were mostly trained to sing it in German because of excessive national pride and because Germans viewed Italian opera as course and un-melodic. Still, there have been superb German singers who sang in Italian like Wagner diva Birgit Nilsson,baritone Dietrich Fischer Dieskau, tenor Peter Schreier, soprano Edda Moser, baritone Walter Berry, tenor Herman Pretty, all post-Wunderlich sensations. Wunderlich sings Lieder in one CD with great and unrivaled musicianship. Especially impressive are the Viennese pieces. Further to the cd's this album is equipped with photos of Wunderlich and his family and a detailed profile biography.



5 out of 5 stars I wish I could give this release more than 5 stars: it's terrific!!!.......2005-10-28

I knew little about the German tenor Fritz Wunderlich (1930-1966), except reading the accolades given to his recordings and performances by reviewers in "American Record Guide" over the past 13 years. I knew Wunderlich recorded the role of Tamino in the famous DG recording of Mozart's "Die Zauberflote", with Karl Bohm/Berlin Philharmonic (Now on DG Originals CDs), but was not aware of what a wide range of repertoire he had until hearing this release.

This release has a wide variety of Wunderlich's discography, including Bach arias from his Christmas and Easter Oratorios, and movements from 2 cantatas; his Mozart roles in "Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail" (Eugen Jochum/Bavarian Radio Orchestra) and "Die Zauberflote" (Karl Bohm/Berlin Philharmonic); a variety of arias and duets by Rossini, Bellini, Verdi, Richard Strauss, mostly sung in German, and with Hermann Prey, baritone and Erika Koth, soprano in many of the duets; Baroque arias by Handel, from "Xerxes" (including the famous "Ombre mai fu" sung in German) and "Julius Caesar", selections from Monteverdi's "Orfeo" (an early track from 1955 sung in Italian); Schumann's "Dichterliebe", 4 Beethoven Lieder, including "Adelaide" and "Der Kuss"; and 9 Schubert lieder, including "An der Musik," and "Der Musensohn", all with Hubert Giesen, piano; Popular songs such as "Granada" and Viennese songs, with chamber orchestra accompaniment. There are no texts for the songs, but you may have text booklets with other CD releases, so don't really need them when you hear Wunderlich's beautiful voice.

There is a booklet with articles about Wunderlich's career, including a preface by his widow, Eva Wunderlich, photos of Wunderlich as a boy and young man, with his wife Eva in 1965, and children Constanze, Wolfgang, and Barbara. I enjoy reading and looking at the booklet, even apart from listening to the beautiful recordings.

Wunderlich was a genius, and his voice sounds great in every track, mono (some, but not a majority) and stereo (most of the tracks in the 7 discs are stereo) alike. If you love great music, and opera, but like me aren't often of a mind to sit still for 3 hours to listen to one, get this. It's a great release, and reasonably priced to boot. I'm thankful to God for great music, for the ability to hear and feel, and for Fritz Wunderlich and his service to music lovers everywhere.

The 7 songs sung by Wunderlich worths all the money for this 18 tracks CD, and you get Placido Domingo and Peter Schreier as bonus. My opinion is that there's no tenor who can replace Wunderlich.

5 out of 5 stars One of the greatest tenors ever.......2005-03-15

When Fritz Wunderlich died (tragically, in an accident) at the
age of 36, some of Opera's greatest experts and critics were
devastated and called his death a "heavy blow to music."

How true. Wunderlich never had the chance to get international
exposure at the level modern tenors do. He lived in the "wrong era", before media hype, and he died youg - much too young.

Yet even today, Wunderlich experiences a remarkable renaissance.
The world has (re-)discovered this gorgeous voice. Monaco and
Corelli had more power (though not much more), Bjoerling's and
Pavarotti's and Joseph Schmidt's timbres were more ringing (though not much more), Di Stefano and Carreras sang more sweetly (though not much more), and Bergonzi's and Tucker's belcanti were fabulous.

But hardly any of those had all thoe qualities combined like Fritz Wunderlich. Listen to his breathtaking musicality when he sang Mozart, his effortless height, his clear diction (probably unparalleled by any opera singer ever), his phrasing, his passion when he sang Verdi or Puccini.

And his height ... has there ever been a tenor who could reach,
seemingly without effort, the high D (no printing mistake...)
the way he did in "Granada" ?

And not just that he hit the high notes. It's how he hit them:
with expression, intelligence and, wherever required (mainly in
song and operetta), with wit and charm.

His Lieder are exemplary, his Italian songs probably more impressive than most Italian tenors'.

If one imagines that Wunderlich was just at the beginning of his career, one shudders at how great he would have become. I think he would have been mentioned in one breath with Caruso and Gigli.

What a huge loss to music, indeed.

5 out of 5 stars One Of The Finest Male Singers We Will Ever Know.......2000-10-29

I don't claim to know a great deal about opera and my knowledge of great classical music singers -- German or otherwise -- is limited to the usual list of suspects and divas. But as far as I'm concerned, Fritz Wunderlich possessed one of the greatest God-given voices you will ever hear in ANY type of Western music. If you ever wondered why so many music critics still lament this man's tragic death before he could become a household name, I would advise you to purchase this collection. Good Lord, what a voice! Believe me, once you hear ol' Fritz belt out a few tunes, you won't be thinking of any other male singer in any other type of music (whether it's Pavrotti, Domingo, Melchior, Vickers, Fischer-Dieskau, Sinatra, Nat "King" Cole, Billy Eckstine, Elvis, George Jones, Sam Cooke or even Bob Dylan) for some time. Herr Wunderlich was simply in a class by himself, and you are also strongly urged to get his EMI recording with Christa Ludwig and Otto Klemperer of Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde. Be warned, though, on that one. Not only will he shatter your heart with his singing of Mahler's sad lyrics, but he's liable to cause you lockjaw with his unique, incomparable phrasing.

    5 out of 5 stars Delightful!.......2007-01-19

    What a beautful voice and such an artist. I've always loved Wunderlich's voice and this album was such a delightful surprise to happen across. The Pearl Fishers' duet with Herman Prey is spectacular--it would be even better than Bjoerling/Merrill if it were in the original French!

    5 out of 5 stars A Great and Varied Collection.......2005-12-19

    Fritz Wunderlich is a name that is familiar to opera buffs, at least those who enjoy the great singers of the past, but his name is not as familiar with the general public. It probably would have been, had it not been for a tragic and fluke accident that claimed his life. For those who are familiar with this great tenor, he's a beloved musician that makes listeners wonder what could have been.

    Wunderlich's voice is one that can be light and airy at times, yet it can also have a dramatic intensity. This two disc set includes a variety of pieces that display Wunderlich's wide range and great vocal talent. His excerpts from Mozart are perhaps his strongest. So often the tenor roles in Mozart operas are cast with performers who are agile and can reach the higher notes, but their voices are somewhat weak. Wunderlich shows just how beautiful these arias can be. The same holds true for his arias from EUGENE ONEGIN and the pieces from well known operettas. His "Au Fond De Temple Saint" performed with Hermann Prey (a dream team pairing if there ever was one) is close to the Bjorling/Merrill rendition. We see his versatility in the excerpt from Haydn's CREATION and the live performance of "Di Rigori Armato" from DER ROSENKAVALIER is a treat and allows the listener to compare his live and studio recordings. The bonus DVD has a few slight flaws, but we see, at least in the scenes from THE BARBER OF SEVILLE that he not only has a wonderful voice but a good stage presence as well.

    Most of the tracks are performed in German, even the Bellini, Bizet, and Verdi tracks, as was the case in many of the recordings of famous German singers. This may detract at first, especially of we expect to hear gorgeous French singing and it comes out, well German sounding. Still, it's a wonderful set with great variety and shows us what we missed in this tenor whose career had just begun.

    5 out of 5 stars MAGIC is a good word to describe Fritz Wunderlich.......2005-11-08

    Magic is a good word to describe Fritz Wunderlich (1930-1966), and if you aren't already familiar with his work, you'll see why when you experience this CD.

    Many of the tracks are not new to CDs: I'd say 50% of them are also in the "Art of Fritz Wunderlich" set (DG, 7 CDs), including Handel, Mozart, Bellini, and other opera arias. There are 3 tracks from "Don Giovanni" which I had not encountered elsewhere, and a scene from Richard Strauss's "Der Rosenkavalier" + 5 Strauss Lieder (with orchestra) not previously released in recent years.

    Wunderlich was never less than the very best, and here is no exception. The bonus DVD has almost 30 minutes of scenes of Wunderlich (Count Almaviva) in Rossini's "Barber of Seville", sung in German with Hermann Prey (Figaro) and Erika Koth (Rosina) from a 1959 black and white TV production, in very good mono sound; and two scenes from Tchaikovsky's "Eugene Onegin", also sung in German, and with a young Brigitte Fassbaender (a little more hiss but very good, full, rich mono sound). The Rossini is available from English sources, and hopefully will be available in the US soon.

    Like conductor Karl Bohm (1894-1981), I'm going to try to get as much Fritz Wunderlich material as I can find, CD or DVD, as is practical (and even when it isn't!).

    5 out of 5 stars JazzHole -Feeling goes around.......2004-11-04

    This is one of the best albums ever made. It's very complex and rich layering of superbly played jazz and modern HH and R&B is unsurpassed. The musicianship is astounding and the richness of the production means that every time you listen to it you hear something new. The lyrics are clever and sophisticated in parts with some very intelligent lyrical and musical wit which links the material to some classic jazz pieces. God only knows why this album wasn't massively successful and why it has been unavailable for some years. I have 3 copies just in case !! - Sean

    great disc and great intro to jazzhole. nice smooth stuff, mellow, with some hip-hop flava thrown in for fun. every time i listen to this album, i wonder why it didn't get bigger. warren rosenstein (one of the founders of the group) is a good guy and deserved the group to get bigger. sort of like groove collective, if you listen to the album you love it, but you won't understand why not everyone listens to the album.

    This record is excellent. It's very jazzy with a lot of soul and a little bit of R&B influence. The few tracks that have rappers are smooth and flow really well. check this one out.

    1 out of 5 stars Disappointing.......2003-07-29

    I bought this disc based on my love of Wunderlich's Dichterliebe, which is one of my favorite CDs of all time. Well, I could hardly have been more disappointed. This is a collection of sappy old tunes, sung in a very sentimental and overdramatic way. If you're a fan of Bocelli and his ilk, go for it. Otherwise, stay clear!

    5 out of 5 stars A Must Have Wunderlich CD.......2000-12-19

    This is a "must have" for any Wunderlich fan. I have a large Wunderlich collection full of many duplicate songs. I have heard none of these recordings before, however. A very positve plus is that many of the selections were recorded during the last year of his life - and in stereo! The collection opens with a stereo recording of "La donna mobile" in Italian! This is the first I have heard Wunderlich sing this in the original language. It then includes the same Tosca aria that is included in the 5 CD Deutsch Grammophone collection sung in German - however this recording is in stereo. Actually, I hesitated to buy this CD since it was called a "Historical Recording." I was sure that it would all be mono recordings. I was pleasantly surprised to hear the many stereo renditions. Many of the songs are different interpretations of pieces released by a major label. Some are songs that he recorded for a label, but have not been released yet - like "Tiritombe." Also, "Ich kusse ihre hand..." has only been released on casette. The CD ends with "Granada." This is the same arrangement as the DG release - but a different, and still very thrilling, interpretation!

    The CD also has many previously unreleased recordings of his earlier singing years. It is fascinating to chronical the vocal maturity of such a wonderful artist. The singing fare is decidedly light - but like everything else he sang, Wunderlich does it right. This is singing at its highest!

    5 out of 5 stars More Wunderlich - Gott sei dankt!.......2000-10-17

    I was thrilled to get this cd with some Wunderlich arias I had never heard before. I have loved his voice since I first heard it (on LP) in 1966. The fascinating thing about this cd is that there are selections recorded as early as 1954 (when he was only 23) back-to back with arias recorded in 1965 and 1966, just before he died at the age of 35. The voice was beautiful at 23 but what a tremendous amount of growth in sound and interpretation just 11 years later. The booklet also provides some biographical information I had not seen before; e.g. in his early days, Wunderlich had a heavy Pfalz accent (the region in which he was born). He had to overcome this -- which obviously he did. His diction and enunciation are among the purest ever recorded. I visited his hometown in Kusel, Germany as few years ago. You can see where he was born; there is a library with costumes, pictures and recordings and a concert hall named after him. (Even the local furniture company is called "Moebil Fritz"! Buy this album -- it's a treasure!
