World Class Music from a World Class Talent.......2007-05-29

The great author James Baldwin once stated that "the artist has always been a disturber of the peace in some way." When we hear Nina Simone sing with composed outrage such songs as "Mississippi Goddam," and "Work Song," in protest against the overt racism practiced during the 1960s in the southern U.S., we know that hers was indeed a politically charged consciousness. The singer's recording of "Mississippi Goddam" was so controversial when first released that Simone would come to attribute the decline of her career in the U.S., and her relocation to France, to the fallout that followed. However, the 20 songs gathered here on FEELING GOOD, THE VERY BEST OF NINA SIMONE, demonstrate that the greater range of her musical talents went far beyond social or political protest.

Trained as a classical pianist at the famed Juilliard School of Music, Simone was an extraordinary interpreter of song lyrics as well as of musical genres. In the title track of this CD, she draws listeners into an inspired celebration of life with a song that dozens of artists are now covering in 2007 (please note review of Randy Crawford's "Feeling Good.") She can croon seductively and vulnerably in songs like "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood," "Ne Me Quitte Pas," and "I Put a Spell on You." And yet she can also go straight to church on the gospel presentations "Take Me to the Water" and "I'm Going Back Home." Talent of such amazing caliber doesn't pop up every decade. This generous sampling of Simone's genius makes one very glad she came along and gave the world as much as she could when she did.

Musical Gumbo from a Class Act.......2007-04-06

I bought this CD right after seeing the Doolittle girl (American Idol 2007 favorite) perform "Feeling Good". That song hooked me! "Feeling Good" (soul), "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" (pop), "I Put a Spell on You" (blues), "Love Me or Leave Me" (jazz) are my favorites and worth the price of this CD. "Mississippi Goddam" (awful) is the low point of this "disjointed" compilation disc. This CD is also interesting for Simone's excellent interpretations of Billie Holliday's classics, "Don't Explain" and "Strange Fruit". Stir in a little French a' la Edith Piaf, "Ne Me Quitte Pas", and gospel, "Take Me to the Water", and the listener has musical gumbo from one classy lady that defied all catagories.

Excellent Choice.......2006-11-10

Trying to get to know Nina's music more and this was an excellent choice.

Fantastic!.......2005-02-04

My father was given this cd as a gift; not his cup of tea... I'll forgive him that, but this album changed my outlook on soul. More sophisticated than motown, more alive than Loussier. "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" and "Love Me or Leave Me" utterly gutting!

Best of What You Remember.......2007-05-07

If you are a fan of the Eagles and can remember the original Miami Vice, this is the collection for you. Best of the sounds of what made the Eagles great and some story-telling like Smuggler's Blues. If you have old vinyl like I do and want to update to a CD or download to an digital player, this is a great way to get the best of his songs.

Edgy Eagles member with his best '80s hits.......2005-03-20

I still consider Glenn Frey as the edgy Eagles member--always taking chances with what he sings and performs. This album does a good job covering his 80s period of solo hits. I love The Heat Is On, Smuggler's Blues, True Love, All Nighter, Sexy Girl and others. But my favorite is You Belong to The City--perhaps the most 80s-sounding record, from the lyrics about neon lights to the rumbling keyboards, the dramatic bridges around the 3 minute part of the song and the Miami/South Beach song landscapes that helped spawn the Miami Vice tv show. There are no shades of other decades' influences in this song--this is a very 80s song in the attitude and decadence of that decade. Glenn Frey's best solo record to me. Frey shows shades of R&B in his voice on the rock driven album and he sounds so good at it. Next to Stevie Nicks, he's the next best second act in pop music following a 70s supergroup's huge success.

Solo Collection is better.......2003-09-15

Although the Eagles had disbanded, many of its members went on to solo careers. A popular member of the band to go on to a solo career was Glenn Frey. In the eighties, he shelled out a number of pop-rock masterpieces - now available in a single collection. Read on for my review of Twentieth Century Masters - The Best Of Glenn Frey.

PROS:
-This compilation is exactly what the casual fan will want. Frey's biggest solo hits were You Belong To The City, Smuggler's Blues, and The Heat Is On (written by the one and only Harold Faltermeyer), and they're all here!
-The previously unreleased tracks are good (but don't expect anything revolutionary from them.)
-The compilation doesn't just rely on the hits, there are a number of underrated masterpieces here as well.
-Many of these tracks originally appeared on soundtracks, so it's good to finally have them all in one place.

CONS:
-The tracks aren't all in the original release order (why do hits compilations do this!?)
-The compilation doesn't fill the eighty minutes that can fit onto a single CD.
-Partytown isn't here! What really makes me mad is they had room to fit it on here.
-This is a SOLO COLLECTION and nothing more, so don't buy this expecting to find any Eagles tracks.
-The CD that is actually entitled "Solo Collection" has more tracks.

OVERALL:
Despite a few complaints, this is an excellent hits package. Any fans of eighties pop-rock would be doing themselves a huge favor by picking up this compilation.

The acid test.......2001-05-30

I bought this based on Glenn Frey being a former Eagle, and the fact I liked a few songs, such as Smugglers Blues and Sexy Girl, with the hope that it might have some other good songs maybe in the Eagles vein.

I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of material. There are a number of high quality songs on this album such as The One You Love and Soul Searchin, and You belong to the city. Soul searchin also features some great harmonies reminiscent of The Eagles, but delivered by a female gospel choir.

So far it has passed the acid test, which is that I can listen to the whole album while driving my car without pushing the skip button once. That makes it a quality album in my book.

How does it differ from The Eagles? The production values are as good. The music itself is different, there is more use of different instruments such as the saxophone. I would say it is a little more progressive. The songs are very good. I highly recommend this album.

If you were to find this review helpful, please click yes.

The Heat Is On!.......2000-09-19

Glenn Frey comes flying back with all his old hits. The Heat Is On is one of the best songs on the world. Ever one should buy this album it is great!

A Classic!.......2007-07-02

This compilation cd is a great collection of Santana favorites. The instrumentals only feature lifts these recordings from a 60's/70's, etc. retrospective into a terrific adult contemporary classic.

Santana The Best Instrumentals.......2007-03-19

This CD has a number of Santana's classic hits like Samba Pa Ti, Flor de Luna, and Soul Sacrifice that I really enjoyed, however, in my opinion those are the only really good songs and this is a mediocre album.

Best Instrumentals.......2006-11-06

This is great collection. This is the flavor of Santana I enjoy most.

From the inside!!.......2005-08-20

This is a very good compilation of only instrumentals by the master. My only regret is that "Every Step of the Way" from "Caravanserai" is missing. That is one of the most powerful Santana songs ever. Also, my favorite in this compilation is "Aquamarina".

Just the music.......2005-01-09

There are many great guitarists in the world but only Carlos Santana can move me like he does. Long ago I made my own version of this album on cassette because I wanted all these great instumentals on one tape. Finally it has been done and been done right. Europa is easily the best instrumental number ever and I would argue one of the best songs of all time. It is perfectly married with all the other great Santana numbers that were usually the best thing on their respective albums.
Put this on, turn the lights down low and lose yourself in the music.

AN AMAZING REMASTERED ELO COLLECTION..................2006-11-25

This cd collection of Elo greatest hits is not in chronological order, but it really does'nt matter.There are some edited versions of songs but I really believe Jeff Lynn put alot of care into this remastered gem. These two cds sounds so awesome that the edits really don't take alot out of this collection. Jeff Lynn believed each Elo song should be treated like a single, each single given the time and effort and care to make each single song stand out in it's own way,weather you love or hate the song, Jeff Lynn had that philosophy. This Elo collection defines that Jeff Lynn philosophy. I listen to this collection and I am just amazed at the skill and craftmanship of Jeff Lynn and Elo. Jeff truly is one of Englands greatest single hit makers. This collection is better than the Elo box sets that have been released in the last 16 or so years. the sound quality of these cds is incredibly pristine. This music may sound like gooey 1970s bubblegum music to some, but to me it is amazingly creative structured music that is catchy with rythm and spiritual form. I have to admit when I hear some of these Elo songs I have to crack a smile. Jeff Lynn and the rest of Elo put alot of pride into each song they ever created, this collection shows that. A true must have for Elo fans and music fans in general. The remastering on this cd set is incredible. Note: Jeff Lynn in 1994-1995 engineered for the three remaining Beatles at the time with "Free as a bird" and "True Love", this shows you the respect even the remaining Beatles had for Jeffs amazing talent.............

THE BEST ELO GREATEST HITS COLLECTION.......2006-05-26

This collection is well worth it. I Highly recommend "LIGHT YEARS" to any fan of the Electric Light Orchestra.The amount of songs compaired to other compilations is hard to beat.

Catchy pop with classical touches.......2004-10-29

Electric Light Orchestra was one of the UK's most consistent and successful bands of the 1970s. They had a long string of hits throughout that decade and the first part of the next one. Their sound was characterised by plush harmonies, loads of strings and catchy tunes. These 38 tracks include the overwhelming majority of their hits from the 1970s and the early 1980s plus some great album tracks. My favourites include Livin' Thing with its captivating fiddle, the addictive Sweet Talkin' Woman, the rousing Turn To Stone and others like Wild West Hero Don't Bring Me Down, Mr Blue Sky and 10538 Overture. It may sound like lightweight pop, but it is a skilfully honed, intelligent and cleverly produced style with classical flourishes that always remained accessible. If you like catchy pop with a touch of the orchestral, this album's for you.

A GREAT Album, but...............2004-01-08

Again this is one of ELO's best, with ALOT of their best songs on it, but if you paid the " outragious " price here that Amazon is charging you, then you've been royally ripped off.....sorry.FYE's is selling this same album for $24.00 and change.It is a good album though.

Entrancing stuff.......2001-08-12

My,my,what a diverse taste in music I have.Part of it extends to this heavily enjoyable assortion of superb musical numbers.Particular favourites include the funky,fusion noted number Evil Woman,the jolty,unforgettable Mr.Blue Sky,the brilliant Last Train to London and the heavy bass number Confusion.Born,bred and based in Birmingham myself,it makes me proud such musical talent could emerge from my home city.Definitely one of the best bands of the '70's,and significantly make us remember the decade.I thoroughly recommend this product.

nice work! .......2007-06-10

This has not really been my listening genre - but I gave it a try and was hugely impressed! Really enjoyed the album, and will no doubt be getting more... Awesome vocal with great beats behind it!

Good even for non-metal fans.......2007-03-30

For those that don't know them, Nightwish is a Finnish symphonic metal band.

Now, I am not really a metal person, yet when I got this album as a present from my cousin (who listens exclusively to symphonic/opera metal) I realised it is pretty good. The opera vocals surfacing from the symphonic melodies and quitars are capturing, and the songs themselves quite interesting to listen to.

To make a long story short: this is not as bad for your ears as you may think. It is somewhat louder than hard rock but it is not the kind of metal that becomes unbearable after two minutes when you are not used to it. It is pretty melodic and the arias are beautiful.

I am not really familiar neither with the genre or the band's other work, so I can't actually say anything to the fans. But for first-time listeners, go for it.

Sometimes wishes do come true........2006-11-03

The CD is enjoyable, not great as a "Best Of" should be. I will have to be honest in saying that this is my first CD from Nightwish and based on what other people have said (best of their songs, etc), it may be the last. Don't get me wrong, I can play this over and over, but if these are the best, they do not bode well for me buying more.

Bravo........2006-07-24

I love all of the tracks on this album, though it is missing a few songs. But that`s alright, of course. Not everyone likes the same songs. For those who are new to Nightwish, this is a great way to start off. Before this came out, I usually reccomended Once, their most latest album. But now there`s an album that has Nightwish from the full nine years. This is great.

If you're looking for that perfect slow hand CD to carry around in the car, Time Pieces is the disc for you. Featuring 11 of Clapton's most radio-friendly hits ("I Shot the Sheriff," "After Midnight," and "Layla," of course), this CD also offers up some of Clapton's most romantic moments in "Wonderful Tonight" and his most cynical in "Promises." Though there's nothing here that you don't have on another couple of discs, Time Pieces is a convenient package of great hits that make you want to roll down the windows, crank up the stereo, and roll. --L.A.

Obselete, but far from bad.......2007-03-11

While the joke about Clapton (like coffee) sucking without Cream isn't true, he certainly made his best work in the '60's. Which is why I'd point any Clapton newbie to The Cream of Clapton, rather than Timepieces, since it contains not only all of his solo hits (which are a mixed bag, I'll admit, but there are some good ones), but also offers up a few Cream, Blind Faith and Dominoes tracks. This mainly focuses on solo Clapton, other than Layla (with Derek & the Dominoes - NOT the only good song the band recorded!) This can be good - after all, you get After Midnight, I Shot the Sheriff, Let It Grow, Cocaine and Lay Down Sally. But on the other end of the scale, Wonderful Tonight, Promises, and his take on Knockin' on Heaven's Door - not bad, just mediocre. And I'm sorry, but Wonderful Tonight and Promises are hellspawn - along with I've Got a Rock 'n' Roll Heart (sounds like he never frickin' PLAYED rock), they constitute my Axis of Clapton's Evil. The absence of Let It Rain SHOULD be an enormous red flag, since it's far and away the single best song of his solo career. Motherless Children is also missed, and as I said before, a few '60's tunes would've been appreciated.
This is completely worthless now that The Cream of Clapton exists, but if that's considered contraband where you live (but this one isn't - hey, stranger things have happened), Timepieces makes for a good alternative.

Not Very Good.......2005-12-06

I was highly disappointed with this Clapton Compilation. The only songs I particularly like were "Layla", "Cocaine", and "I Shot The Sheriff".
I am sorry, people; "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" is a terrible song. The best of Clapton? Generally the "best" of someone means their "best" songs! Also cut out "Willie and the Hand Jive", "Wonderful Tonight", and a few others.
If it weren't for the 3 songs I mentioned previously, this album would be trash.

A Lacking Album.......2005-12-06

This album lacks a lot. I don't really want to go into detail, but trust me. Get the cream of clapton istead.

TIME FECES.......2005-10-27

The BEST of Clapton?...PUH-LEEEEEEEEZE!!! This retch-rospective should be called "Time Feces". Where's "Let It Rain", one of his finest singles ever? What happened to "Bell Bottom Blues", "Tulsa Time" (I'm sure Don Williams put it on HIS greartest hits), "I Can't Stand It", "Blues Power", "Hello Old Friend", etc., etc., etc.??? Am I being picky here, or do any and all of these chestnuts not take precedence over pedestrian covers of "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" and (for cryin' out loud) "Swing Low Sweet Chariot"? To think that the compilers were choosing from one of Slowhand's best periods musically, long before he slid into soundtrack composing unconciousness. A far better compilation choice is the smartly titled "Cream of Clapton", which not only includes everything "Time Pieces" left off, but also everything decent it left on, including the original "Layla" and "After Midnight", his country classics "Lay Down Sally" and "Promises", and his "461 Ocean Boulevard" hit remakes "I Shot the Sheriff" and "Willie and the Hand Jive". It also throws in five Cream classics and one from Blind Faith. Now THAT'S the Cream of Clapton! This tastes more like curdled milk. RATING: TWO BAD

Still good, even if there are better discs out there.......2005-09-15

I bought this disc used for a great price and it is more than worth it. It gives me a Clapton fix when I need it and delivers a great group of his songs/hits. If I want more, I know there are other albums with Clapton that will fill the void that this album leaves but I have no problem with this one. If you are a Clapton disciple, you might buy this one but you'll surely own much more, too. If you just need a jolt of Clapton, grab this one.

Evidently Chickentown.......2007-05-08

The song 'Evidently Chickentown' - played on the closing credits of The Sopranos on April 15th, 2007 is a track from John Copper Clarke's 1980 Album 'Snap Crackle & Bop' - now available as a remastered CD (on Amazon). If you liked the song and want to hear more from England's original Punk Poet, I would definitely recommend 'Snap Crackle & Bop'. Read the Amazon description of the CD to get a sense of what JCC is about... politically and socially savvy, sarcastic, wickedly humorous, great beats. I have loved this album since the 1980's, when he was hugely popular with the British punk crowd.

Sopranos Episode 79 Stage 5.......2007-04-17

This isn't so much a review just trying to help people find the song evidently chickentown. This is the song that played at the end of the sopranos episode 79 stage 5 april 15th during christophers babys christening. It's not on itunes i did find it on [...] it's the only song i know from these guys 25 bucks is alot of money to spend for one song, i just bought this hopefully when i get it i'll like the rest. I figured though it being different and unique sounding which is pretty rare maybe its worth the money.

In the...jingle...jangle...morning...I'll come follow ya........2007-05-21

Wow. wow. I'm not at all a "trekkie", never liked the shows, but always appreciated shatner for what he...does for pop culture. I'm 18 so missed the age of lusting after him, but get that he's...there. I got this on itunes on a whim. So Good. So Good. It is by far the most hypnotizing album I have ever heard. To hear young Shatner "sing" (his album 'has been' prepared me somewhat) and to hear Nimoy sing...I think I just might be high from simply hearing such tones. lol, buy it if you like bizarre. buy it if you like Nimoy or Shatner. buy it if you can't afford pot.

so sad so sad.......2007-04-10

Ok I bought this knowing full well it would be bad...bad...bad. But that's what happens when actors try to be musicians. I love both Shatner and Nimoy and if you are a Trekkie/Trekker...you need this. But if you are just a music lover, you don't.

If you are into comedy though...it is pretty funny

Scariest album I ever bought.......2007-03-08

Let me be clear from the outset: get this album only if you are the kind of person who enjoys the bizarre. It is incredibly strange to hear Leonard Nimoy sing - actually sing in a deep, almost baritone voice - about the hobbit Bilbo Baggins. His rendition of Peter Paul and Mary's Hammer Song (If I Had a Hammer) is hysterical. And Shatner, oh, Bill, what were you thinking? This album takes campy to new heights.

Weird But Good.......2007-01-17

If you are looking for that weird cd, and one that will cause you to shake your head, this is the one for you. First, let us just say, that although Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner give it their best effort, it is not classical singing that you will be listening to. But, it is just good enough (or bad enough-depending on your tastes), that if you are a fan of either of these two actors, you will enjoy it.

to go where no man has gone before.......2007-01-16

i would have given this cd 5 stars but there was just somthing missing. it mighte be mr. scotty doing a bagpipe solo, or mr soolo playing the skin flute, or bones haveing a drum solo in the middle. i'm just not sure i konw its missing somthing, and that something is missing from your colletion.

Wrongs righted.......2007-05-27

There have been compilations before of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, the band he formed after leaving John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, but this latest one puts right most of the wrongs and omissions of those.
Everything you expect is here including Oh Well Parts 1 & 2 in its full 9 minute glory and without fading out in the middle, where you had to turn over the single, as previous collected versions had; and the previously unreleased US Version of Need Your Love So Bad, which is a superb extended six minute piece, with strings arranged by Mickey Baker (who played guitar on Little Willie John's original). Stop Messin' Round was on the flipside of Need Your Love So Bad, but it is here in the slighter shorter version used on the album Mr. Wonderful.
The towering magnificence of The Green Manalishi is also re-established by its inclusion. The compilation ends with a token track by Chicken Shack, because of Christine McVie's involvement with the band, and the then-recent hit remix of Albatross by Chris Coco, both of which I could have done without in this particular context, perhaps replaced by their first single, Rambling Pony/I Believe My Time Ain't Long.
