Album Description
This latest Tone Center release is a collaboration by the longtime fusion guitar team of Brett Garsed and T.J. Helmerich. The players combine for a fusion super session with Tribal Tech's Gary Willis and Scott Kinsey and legendary drummer, Dennis Chambers.
Guitarist and studio engineer Helmerich had this to say about the recording: "The idea behind this CD was to get the energy out of the players while tracking. We knew what was possible this time around and wanted to make an exciting "up tempo" free for all! We knew that no mater how raw we made the tunes as it started...each guy would not only respond to the energy, but bring an element of class and musicality to the table that makes "Uncle Moes" the band that it is."

moe's town.......2007-07-03
this is top-notch fusion if you like it on the unpredictable side - it's sometimes abstract and electronic, sometimes funky, sometimes heavy, always interesting. each musician is outstanding. their first cd was, overall, somewhat more rock-oriented and less funky and electronic, but it's sorta hard to even classify these guys.
Uncle Moe's Updates Prog Fusion.......2007-06-04
Wow! What a CD! This is fusion perfection updated. Awesome players - the best in the world. Definately better than the first (extremely underrated) CD. I loved the first CD, however this one really sears into your brain as Uncle Moe's takes us on a serious/fun exploration of burning fusion 2007 style. The only recent CD that compares to this is the new Planet X CD "Quantum", which also updates the fusion/prog sound 2007 style. Both excellent CD's which share the same guitarist, Brett Garased, an amazing guitarist, in my opinion one of the best in the world. I highly recommend purchasing both CD's. They will ROCK YOU insideout!

Superb Introduction to Hovhaness.......2007-05-24
This is a superb introduction to the works of Alan Hovhaness, a long-neglected 20th Century American Composer. The Trumpet Concerto (Khrimian Hairig) is well-played and has a serious thoughtful quality to it. This work should be performed more often by orchestras. The Guitar Concerto is also entertaining and well-played and deserves more playing time with larger orchestras. The Symphony No. 60 (!) is a work more typically associated with Hovhaness - upbeat positive music with no ties to the modern school of classical music. The conductor Gerard Schwartz has spent much of his career championing the works of lesser known American composers and does a great job here. The recording is excellent as well.
Hovhaness on Naxos.......2007-03-07
The reputation of the American composer Alan Hovhaness (1911 -- 2000) continues to grow. Hovhaness was a prolific composer of 67 symphonies and about 400 other works. He wrote in a highly personal, mystical style that emphasized his Armenian roots, his devotion to nature, and his interest in Eastern thought and music. His music is accessible and enjoyed substantial popular appeal during the later years of the composer's life. But it was not always well-received by critics.
This CD is the third that Naxos has devoted to the music of Hovhaness in its "American classics" series. It offers two world-premiere recordings. These releases offer an outstanding opportunity at a budget price to get to know Hovhaness' music. The first two CDs featured Hovhaness early cello concerto and symphony no. 22, the "City of Light" and a collection of three of Hovhaness' six symphonies for wind band. The most recent, CD offers three works in differing forms from relatively early in Hovhaness' career to near the end. Gerard Schwarz, music director of the Seattle Symphony (Hovhaness spent the final years of his life in Seattle) and long a champion of the composer conducts the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra. It is good to see a European orchestra offer sympathetic performances of Hovhaness in a short early work, and in the first recordings of a guitar concerto, and a late symphony. The composer's widow, Hinako Fujihara Hovhaness, has written excellent notes for the CD.
The CD opens with a work called "Khrimian Harig", opus 49, composed during the mid-40s. This is a work of about 8 minutes for orchestra and solo trumpet, played here by the orchestra's first trumpet, Lars Ranch. This is a highly lyrical, mystical work in which the trumpet represents an ancient Armenian prophet leading his people through persecutions to the path of faith. Much of the work is call-and-response between trumpet and orchestra. Hovhaness later adopted this work into a composition titled "Return and Rebuild the Desolate Places" opus 213 which appears on the earlier Naxos CD of Hovhaness' music for wind band.
Hovhaness' guitar concerto opus 325 was composed in 1979 and it is performed here by the American guitarist and composer David Leisner. This three movement work is highly idiomatic for the guitar and balances the voice of the instrument well against the larger forces of the orchestra. In the opening movement, slow, ominous statements of a theme for orchestra and bells alternate with long, guitar solos of a reflectively Spanish cast. The middle movement is in a concertante style as the guitar part alternates with a variety of solo passages for bassoon, cello, wind choir, and violin. The finale begins dramatically in a statement for the full orchestra. The stern orchestral writing alternates througout with softer, lyrical sections for the soloist. This is an intriguing, successful work in a difficult genre.
The final work on the CD is the Symphony no. 60 "To the Appalachian Mountains" opus 396 which also receives its first recorded performance. Hovhaness wrote this work in 1985 under a commission to celebrate the cultural heritage of the State of Tenessee. Apparently, the work was not well received in its opening performances, and that is unfortunate. This is one of Hovhaness' longer symphonies, over one-half hour in length, and it is lovely. Hovhaness combines his love for eastern music and nature with passages of distinctively American folk themes, virtually in the manner of Aaron Copland's popular works. With good reason, the composer referred to this work as his "Americana" symphony.
The work opens with a slow passage for flute and harp followed by a long flowing melody for strings. Near the end of the movement, the melody turns into a fugue, backed by pulsating drums and chimes. The second movement is an allegro which opens with a folklike mountain theme in the strings. This is followed by a melancholy English horn solo soon joined by the flute. After an outburst by the full orchestra, the folk theme returns to close the movement. The brief third movement opens with the harp and is based upon an old mountain tune called "Parting Friends." The finale opens with a large, slowly rocking theme in the strings followed by sections reminiscent of mountain dances before the opening material returns with brass and bells to close the work. I loved this symphony, particularly in its use of folk-sounding material (all of which were originally composed, with the exception of the tune in the third movement) and in its imaginative orchestration.
Listeners wanting to get to know Hovhaness and his distinctive style will enjoy this CD and its companions on Naxos. I am looking forward to further releases of Hovhaness' music in the "American classics" series.

Terrific sales of their independent Cheshire Cat got Blink-182 signed to a major label (MCA) for 1997's Dude Ranch, which led to radio hits ("Dammit," "Josie") and platinum sales. No "sell-out" on the band's part, though, as Dude Ranch simply features another infectious collection of snotty vocals, punchy rhythms, vivid lyrics, and aggressive chords. San Diego producer Mark Trombino shines some of the scuffed edges, but this is still good ol' Blink at its sunny, effervescent best. Nice "emocore" spoof here ("Emo"), plus an odd knack for crafting bass-lines that recall--seriously!--New Order, and vocal harmonies that owe debts to the Beach Boys. --Mark Woodlief

assville.......2007-05-19
ok blink rocked hard. boring is the best song, untitled is also sweet.
other blink songs; obvious, stftk, give me one good reason, reckless, dumpweed, asthenia and also not now.
Very Good!.......2007-01-21
A must have album.If you're new to Blink182, then this is a good album to start out with.Awesome songs like "Dammit" "Josie" and "I'm Sorry".Most of their songs are sex jokes."Voyeur" is...well, the name it's self explains what the song is about."Degenerate" is about Tom Delonge (Blink182 guitarist) is running around in the middle of the night drunk,naked,passes out and is found later in a guter.Later on in the song he sings about going to a farm to tip some cows.Finding that he left his pants down.He bends over to pull them up and finds a farmer pointing a gun at him.So mostly the songs are kinda "inapropreat"
The album Cheshire Cat is no different.In one song they sing about wetting themselves all the time.
But mostly you will find in allmost all of their songs that they're all about girls and love.Very "Pop-Punk"
But if you enjoy that kinda stuff and a good laugh then this album is for you.If you like Fall out boy and Panic!At the disco you'll probably like this band.
Unhappy.......2007-01-09
I ordered the game for my daughter on 11/28/06 quite confident that her wish list items were bought and I could forget about it. I never recieved it and was never informed by Amazon that it was returned as undeliverable. So on Christmas day when she opened her presents, she asked where it was. I told her I ordered it and we started looking about the house as to where it was. After going on the computer to the website I then found out that it was returned and my credit card had been reimbursed. Shame on them. I will not use them again. I believe they got too big for their britches and the customers are the ones paying the price.
Blows everything out of the water!!!!.......2006-09-14
Dude Ranch makes EOTS and TOYPAJ look like the worst albums ever. Except for the blink's self-titled album, the record beats everything they have ever done. I was entertained through out the whole album and every song was as good as the last, particulary "Emo" which actually reminds me of some of Jimmy Eat World's old stuff. The guitar is actually really good compared to blink's other records (i.e. Degenerate, I'm Sorry, Waggy) though it definately isn't anything close to something like Jimmy Hendricks or Van Halen, but who cares :) To sum it up, your blink-182 collection is not complete without Dude Ranch!
Still sets the bar after all these years.......2006-08-21
It's been almost ten years now since Blink 182 released Dude Ranch (oh God, I'm getting old!) , and yet it still sets the bar for what a pop-punk album should sound like. While "Enema of the State" may have sold more albums and truly made Blink 182 a household name, many people were introduced to Blink 182 via the radio single "Dammit (Growing Up)". While many simply placed the cd back on their shelves after they played that song out, many others discovered that they were quickly falling in love with Mark, Tom and Scott and the rest of the "punk" rock movement of the late 90's. While I'm sure Tom Delonge's voice was an awful shock to many who purchased Dude Ranch after hearing "Dammit", older fans as well as new recruits were addicted. Dude Ranch starts off with the best formula Blink had to offer; Mark and Tom trading off vocals over a fast punk rock beat. If "Pathetic" didn't/doesn't do it for you, you should probably put down the cd. However if you find it hard to wipe the smile off your face, you'll find out that the rest of the album is truly a punk rock classic. "D*ckips", "Apple Shampoo", "Emo", "A New Hope" and "Josie" (which had some small success as the follow up to Dammit)are my favorites, but their are really no bad songs on Dude Ranch (although I don't usually listen to "I'm Sorry" anymore). This is the last time Blink 182 would sound this way for an entire album. Scott Raynor would leave the band and be replaced by the more talented Travis Barker, but whose drumming is truthfully less "punk rock" than Scott's was. Tom's vocals would become overproduced, and Mark's catchy little bass solo's would become almost non-existent. I'm not sure how this album comes or will come across to those who discovered Blink later in the band's career, but I can speak for all of the older fans when I say that Dude Ranch is a true classic, that can never be replicated or replaced. *****

This is a great series of recordings. Leonard Slatkin has generally chosen the right balance of music for the composers used in the series (with terrific cover art from Thomas Hart Benton). This disc is devoted to Copland's film music. The treat here is a version of The Heiress Suite reconstructed by Arnold Freed. Copland's talent for writing for films rested in his ability to identify and maintain themes, at the same time not slacking on the transitional details. This belongs in any Copland collection. --Paul Cook

one of slatkins best recordings.with copland hes on, the sound on this cd is ok,not as good as his telarc recordings witch i think are his better recordings but this one is one of them to.
Aaron Copland: the Norman Rockwell of film scoring.......2004-06-14
When I purchased this collection I was already very familiar with Mr. Copland's more popular fanfaric motifs. I was astounded at how much I enjoyed the wonderful division of both sweeping dramatic themes and friendly, home-grown melodies. His film scores for the 1939 'Of Mice and Men' and the 1940 'Our Town' are a testament to classic films set in simpler times. The 'Red Pony' tracks for which the compilation is named are a magical digression from the listener's pre-conceived notions of Copland western fare. When one expects "Rodeo" (arguably one of Copland's most famous themes) one instead receives a gentler and sometimes powerfully moving score. The crowning jewel of this collection, however; is the beautiful suite from his Academy Award winning score for William Wyler's 1949 film of 'The Heiress.' When listening to this magnificent piece of musical history I am reminded how so many great scores are unavailable to listeners of today, and only through recreation and re-recordings can we re-capture those glimpses of film score artistry. I can only hope that many lost or hard to find works continue to be found or recorded so that film score and music lovers in general can continue to discover and rediscover the joy and beauty of our masters in film composing.
Great recording of definitive American film music.......2004-04-08
In a way, filmgoers have been listening to Copland's film scores nearly every time they go to the cinema, since film composers have been shamelessly ripping off Copland for the last half-century or so. When you listen to the "Our Town" suite, do you get the nagging feeling that you have heard this music somewhere before? No doubt you have, in dozens of derivitave film scores from the 1980's and 1990's, sometimes (shamelessly) right down to the exact chord progressions.
How nice it is then to be able to go back to the source, and have rendered in so superb a fashion as it is by Slatkin & the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. Slatkin, as usual, upholds his reputation as one of the leading interpreters of American music.
This CD contains the premier recording of "The Heiress Suite," which is a delight to listen to, and of course the fairly well-known "Red Pony" music. Is their a more quintessential piece of "Western" music than the "Walk to the Bunkhouse?" How does a jewish boy from Brooklyn nail it on the head so perfectly, anyway?
Other selections include "Music for Movies," a collection of bits & pieces from an assortment of Copland-scored movies that Copland arranged in 1943, and "Music for Radio," an earlier composition that isn't really "movie music," but fits well with the rest of the compositions on this CD.
Instead of wasting your time on movie soundtracks that are nothing more than just derivitave hack jobs, listen to music by a composer who had truly mastered his craft.
Leonard Slatkin conducts Copland.......2000-11-14
This album is worth it just to get the world premiere recording of "The Heiress Suite" reconstructed by Arnold Freed. Also of note are Walk to the Bunkhouse from "The Red Pony" and New England Countryside. Leonard Slatkin conducts these pieces with great emotional feel that states that this is the same America that Copland wanted to us to embrace.

Australian-born Keith Urban is a masterful guitarist and halfway decent singer who has enthusiastically lived up to his surname by embracing contemporary country's more urbane fashions. This album marks his return to the Ranch, the trio with whom he first made his name, and is front-loaded with jingly radio fodder. Cliché-ridden tunes like "Walkin' the Country," "Homespun Love," and "Hank Don't Fail Me Now" simply don't have much emotional currency beneath the hot licks and too-clever wordplay. But when Urban and his sidekicks delve into the warm, fuzzy underbelly of '70s country-rock on tortured, young-and-restless ballads like "Tangled Up in Love," "Desiree," and "Man of the House," they hit a fine groove and manage to sound pretty convincing. --Bob Allen

Love this cd.......2007-01-10
I love this cd. It holds up to the typical Keith Urban standards.
Must have For Keith Fanatics!.......2005-08-17
I have been an avid Keith Urban listener since his first album. When I saw that he had an older album out, I thought I'd give it a try. I was leery, because I know that sometimes the early albums arn't as honed as an artists more well known albums.
But I must say, that Keith was as great as he is now. More country than his newer albums, but still great by any means.
This album also covers a well loved song sung by the Dixie Chicks also, Some Days You Gotta Dance. This is actually a better version in my opinion. Keith just brings pure joy to any song that he sings.
There really isn't a bad song on this album. It's very up beat and makes you want to tap your toes.
It's deffinately worth getting to add to your collection. It's guaranteed to put you in a better mood than you were before you listened to it!
Keith Urban - The Ranch.......2004-11-26
This album is highly overlooked in my opinion. It's a fabulous album. Why it never took off is beyond me! It is a wonderful album. I have everyone of Keiths Cd's and am so glad that I ended up adding this one to my collection. My favorite songs on this album are "Some days you gotta dance", "Walkin' the country", "just some love","homespun Love." They all are really good, but those are the ones I like the best. Don't pass this album up, it's truly a terrifc album that you will reach for again and again. Experience the early Keith Urban. This is where his real roots are. He will only continue to expand on this in the coming years. Lets make this one a platinum one for Keith!!!!!!!!!
great cd!.......2004-10-14
I absolutely love this cd. Every song is unique and has a great beat. The musicianship is outstanding and I love the extra songs & videos. I give this cd a 5.
actually, the ranch was SUPPOSED to be the "country" Police.......2004-09-21
just a quick note to share with all of you that when Miles Copeland got involved with Keith and the guys, the intention was, in fact, to try and create a sort of country flavored Police, because of Copeland's Police connection...It didnt turn out that way and Keith has made a pretty big solo name for himself, but I think the guys definitely could have filled an interesting niche....and just so you know, I admit outright that I have a vested interest as my friend Cyril Rawson and I wrote "Just Some Love" which the guys did so nicely on the record...I hope they get rediscovered to the point that Cyril and I can write our next hit for them in our beach houses in Malibu!!...in the meantime, best of luck to them all...and I hope all of you enjoy the CD.........

Fusion "pioneers"? Maybe. Exploring the wrong path? Methinks..........2007-05-22
I'm a prog and fusion fan from way back, folks, and I think I have a fairly wide taste palette in this area. But I do draw the line at blending in certain styles, among which are heavy metal, neoclassical, electronica, and excessive quirkiness (not to mention urban hip-hop). "Uncle Moe's Space Ranch" has way too many of those outliers for my tastes, and marginalizes this cd as merely an ill-advised attempt by Garsed and Helmerich to broach the fusion arena with some established and well-respected veterans carrying them on their backs.
The Positives: 1) Brett Garsed shows some talent, and I like his guitar tone in places. I'd be willing to hear more from him, but I'm not convinced he was strong enough to lead this ensemble. 2) Dennis Chambers hammers home a brilliant performance. 3) Aside from some passing moments of inventiveness and excitement that show up in a few songs (e.g. "Minx", "Colliding Chimps"), I did genuinely enjoy the final two tracks on the cd: the more traditional fusion of "I Want A Pine Cone", and the easy-rocking/swinging "A Thousand Days". (Great guitar on both, by the way.)
The Negatives: 1) You can have T.J. Helmerich. His playing and cold guitar tone do nothing for me. 2) Speed alone is fun, but does not sustain. Speed and intellect are good. Speed and emotion are better. Unfortunately, these mediocre compositions usually lack intellect, warmth and emotion for the sake of speed and complexity. 3) Garsed and Helmerich should have made better use of the incredible talent around them - instead, this comes off sounding inconsistent and underwhelming. (Ten million bucks says you'll never see a tour or a "Space Ranch 2" cd.)
Uncle Moe's is a dude ranch at best, and not recommended for traditional fusion wranglers.
I value interesting music that is played and recorded well. This cd's rating was based on:
Music quality = 6.1/10; Performance = 8/10; Production = 9/10; CD length = 10/10.
Overall score weighted on my proprietary scale = 7.3 ("3 stars")
What's the point?.......2006-07-25
Oh dear, one of the most interesting bass players around has got himself lost in a one-off band that on paper promises much but aimlessly fires one chop after the other without delivering coherence in content or overall record structure. This is a prime example of why fusion music has got itself stuck in a rut since the last twenty or so years with few exceptions. The novelty of it is long gone and it is being recycled uncreatively. Fast show off licks don't compensate. Time that Gary Willis revived Tribal Tech or did a complete project with John Scofield (listen to the two on Dennis Chambers' record "Outbreak", now that is wow-music!).
Cool Tunes.......2004-11-05
I have been listening to Fusion for last 30 years. This CD makes it happening for me each time I listen to it.
Please !.......2004-07-17
Some reviews simply don't do justice to this great album. If you are open minded about music you will like this record. It's true... it has a lot of strange modern sounds... so what? This is music freedom in a way a lot of jazz pioneers would have done if they were alive today... Brett is a pioneer of modern electric guitar, so is T.J. I cannot wait to hear their next album !
kick ass fusion !.......2004-04-28
Let there be this type of music everywhere.These days there are so much MUZAK,or crap smooth jazz on the INTERNET RADIO.HARD CORE JAZZ FUSION FANS are willing to approove of this blast of furious sounds.The band members are killing me like a edge of the knife.This is another "TRIBAL TECH" sound.No more donkey smooth jazz,let there be aggressive hard core fusion.This CD never disappoints you,I bet.Blast off your frustration with this CD!!

Copland conducts Copland.......2003-11-27
Aaron Copland was, admittedly, NOT a great conductor. Nevertheless, musicians enjoyed working with him, possibly because he was so exuberant and enthusiastic. One friend said Copland might tell musicians to "hit a home run." He certainly wanted the musicians to have fun and it's clear that usually happened. Along the way, Copland did manage to give his interpretations of his own music, setting a standard of how it should be played.
It's very apparent in Copland's numerous recordings for Columbia (now available on Sony) that the composer left an important legacy. Among the more original American composers, Copland was distinctly American. He enjoyed a fine musical education from Nadia Boulanger in Paris that gave his compositions some added depth. Initially, Copland followed George Gershwin's example and made considerable use of jazz and blues in his works. Copland himself said he felt he soon exhausted the possibilities of popular music and then turned to American folk music.
A trip to Mexico, where he met and befriended Carlos Chavez, resulted in Copland's first great musical triumph, "El Salon Mexico." It became the only Copland work to ever be conducted by Arturo Toscanini with the NBC Symphony Orchestra. On this CD one has a chance to hear the composer himself conducting this 1936 triumph.
This writer has long enjoyed Copland's wonderful music for the 1948 Technicolor western "The Red Pony," an adaptation of the John Steinbeck story by Lewis Milestone that starred Myrna Loy and a young Robert Mitchum. The music is such an important ingredient in this classic film. Fortunately, Copland extracted a concert suite from the film score and it is included in this CD.
Copland wrote other film scores, too, and we get to hear some of the music he wrote for the 1940 film adaptation of Thornton Wilder's very American play, "Our Town."
The CD includes some additional Latin-influenced works, "Danzon Cubano," which rivals Gershwin's "A Cuban Overture," and "Three Latin American Sketches." These are very colorful, exciting works.
Perhaps, as some have said, the London Symphony Orchestra and the New Philharmonic Orchestra were not up to par in these recordings. Some of that may have been Copland's fault. Still, these are competent performances and they convey what the composer wanted.
Profound.......2003-10-31
Forget what the guy above says about the London Symphony Orchestra's recording of "Our Town." Hands down, the most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard. Moving, surreal, profound. Truly a once in a lifetime experience.
review and comparison with Slatkin's CD.......2003-05-10
It does seem (and I have heard from professional conductors) that performance standards of orchestras in the 1960s and 70s were not what they are today, but I would not necessarily hold that fact against this CD. While Leonard SlatkinÕs more recent recording with the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra (on the RCA label) is much more pristine, and the musicians sound much more in tune, I find something in CoplandÕs own interpretation of his music that is missing from SlatkinÕs (still very capable) rendition.
Comparing the two versions of ÒOur TownÓ, for example, the difference in character is striking. With Copland the tempo is much slower, the intensity is proportionally much greater, and Copland, with a composerÕs sense of intimacy with his score and the music intended behind it, derives more musicality out of each phrase and note than I hear in SlatkinÕs faster-paced performance. The same can be said for the rest of CoplandÕs CD--what the older recording might lack in technical musicianship, it makes up for in greater interpretive depth. While it is aggravating sometimes to hear instruments out of tune (and I am only assuming that what sounds out of tune to me today was equivalently considered out of tune back then), the tradeoff may be worth it for some.
Great music, bad orchestras.......2000-06-13
While this is some of Copland's best (and most under-recognized) work, the orchestras represented on the CD are, as a whole, awful. Even the London Symphony orchestra had an off day on "Our Town," and the New Philharmonia Orchestra does a good job of butchering the rest of the CD, particularly "Danzon Cubano." The recording of "Danzon" is quite possibly the worst I've ever heard any symphony orchestra play. While it may be worth the money as a bargain CD, do NOT pay full price for this.
Red Pony Review.......2000-01-05
I am currently studying my A-Levels, including a music tehcnology course. One homework was to compose a piece. I played this piece two years ago, and remembered the incredibly difficult timing, and then the satisfaction of getting it right at the start of the Walk to the Bunkhouse. Since I first heard it I kept noticing new sounds, and parts to it. I love it, and keep listening to it again and again, hearing new life in it. Buy this Now!

Great fun, great voice.......2007-03-07
I can't believe it took me so long to get around to buying one of her albums! This is a load of fun, Marti has a great voice for the material, and she doesn't push the 1950's thing over the edge into camp like some of the revival artists do. Her version of "Kiss the Baby Good-Night" will make you do a double-take to make sure it's not Charline Arthur; she sounds _that_ real.
Give Marti a listen, you'll be glad you did........2006-11-27
I got this CD after hearing "Blue Tattoo" on a streaming radio show. That track is worth the price of admission, but the rest are just as outstanding.
Brom sings like she means it, from fun tunes like "Eat my Words" to the achingly beautiful "Blue Tatoo". The comparisons with past greats like Patsy Cline are apt, not because of the vocal similarity (yes, it's there) but because of the way she plunges in to each song.
I'm no rockabilly fan, but Marti Brom is worth checking out even if you don't follow the genre. She's that good.
You need to visit the Snake Ranch........2005-02-25
What you have here is a great rocking record from a great gal based in Austin. Marti does not come across as a screeching banshee like so many of the modern rockabilly ladies do. She has a smooth and strong voice and great taste in songs. This is a great record by a great talent!
my favorite newer rockabilly cd.......2004-12-21
This cd finds Marti Brom sounding similar to Patsy Cline, however Brom swings a bit more, and her band falls in the lines of western swing and rockabilly, or hillbilly boogie. In any case the music swings, and brom has a full lucious voice and the band is exellent. Fun music.
Exellent western swing and rockabilly gal.......2004-08-30
The greatest female western swing and rockabilly singer today from Texas is Marti Browm and here she is backed by the finest western swing combo from Holland the Barnshakers(also worth checing out). Brom sounds vocally similar to Wanda Jackso nand Patsy Cline, but doesn't copy either of thier styles. Her delivery vocally recalls swinging honky tonk singers from the early 50's, liek a female Hank Williams, Sr. A great western swing cd, and fans of swing, western swing, rockabilly, country and jazz wil lenjoy thsi release, and dancers wil love it's swing rhythms.

woggles rock!!.......2005-08-22
I have seen the Woggles twice in the past month, they put on an awesome show- very upbeat and high energy..early 60's sound. I have a few of their cd's and love them all, but they are no comparison to seeing them live.
So fun!.......2005-02-01
If you are looking for a great time, buy this record! It has songs from the band's career, and is an awesome introduction to the land that is, The Woggles. Its fun, old school rock n roll, how can you regret that?!
