A fun mix.......2007-06-22

Sad to see how the swing craze has died off, it produced some really great stuff.

This album is a nice mix of several more obscure swing bands, and the songs are a good range of styles and material. If you enjoy swing, this CD should be satisfying. I bought it on a whim and have enjoyed it. Some highlights to watch out for: "Ruby Mae" by Indigo Swing, where the talented musicians from that now-defunct band create the musical sound of riding the rails on a cross-country train, and "Tossin' and Turnin'" by the Cigar Store Indians, a rockabilly romp reminiscent of Brian Setzer when he was still with the Stray Cats.

Indigo Swing's stuff is still available too, and is great. Their latter two albums, "All Aboard" and "Red Light!" are well worth a listen--or several. Enjoy :)

thanks.......2007-04-27

the case was broken when I got it but i didn't care at all - just info for your next shipments... :)

Out of the Money.......2007-04-08

Having been a big Eddie Money fan since his debut in 1977, I was excited to see him come out with a collection of re-makes from the 60's. On paper, I didn't think anyone could be a better choice for the great list of songs that he chose to cover. The bad news is, this CD sounds like outtakes from American Idol. His voice is detached, weak, and buried in the mix. I kept expecting the thin sound to open up, but it doesn't. To sum it up, great songs, poor execution.

Good effort... but..........2007-03-22

Lacking in something.
Being a big Eddie Money fan I waited anxiously for this CD and finally got it. And then I played and listened to it.. twice, just to be sure.
The good points are... Great song choices, couldn't get much better than this selection for a rock revival. Great musicians and music. Decent sound, although I think a little tweaking would have worked here.
The bad point, for me, was Eddie's voice. I know it's not going to be as good as it was... and boy was it good! But for some reason it just doesn't work here.
'Land of A Thousand Dances' seems to be the standout here.. his voice, the music and background all seem to meld perfectly. On all the other tracks his voice seems to be 'seperate' from the music and background. Almost as if they were recorded seperately and then just layered and nothing else done.
I was a bit disappointed but still happy to know that Mr Money is still in the game. I think with better production this could have been a more polished gem and I do hope he gives it another shot in that direction. For having one of the stronger voices in rock, I think the man deserves better than this.

billy bob sings the blues.......2007-03-20

first of all i have to say i love this album, billy bob amazed me with the choice of musicians to work on this with him. although i find it more comical than musically stimulating. the music under this album is great its definately somewhere between george jones and pink floyd. the lyrics could have been thought out alittle more as well as the vocal deleivery but all in all its a great peice to listen to definately not for everyone but if you like weird country music made by the dude from slingblade then you're good to go. if you dont then buy it anyway the trippiness factor of this album makes it worth buying and listening to atleast once so youc an say to your friends i own a record by billy bob thornton

Not his best album, but still great for what it is........2006-12-08

Seeing as how "Edge of the World" is one of my all time favorite albums, I'm just a tad late at getting around to writing something about "Hobo". "Private Radio" met and exceeded my expectations over five years ago and then "Edge of the World" came out in '03 and sort of became a soundtrack to my life. What an amazing album that was. There was so much variety, such an abundance of great songs and completely original ideas. And it all came together to tell a great story as well. Stunning.

"Edge of the World" was SO good in fact, that it raised my standards to an almost impossible level, leaving "Hobo" with some pretty big shoes to fill. Did it meet my expectations? Well, yes and no.

It's a very good album. Let me just say that. Every track here is great in it's own unique way. It's a great album to sit back and relax with and take in every note and every word. It's a big relaxation album more me and I really love the vocals this time out as well. If you heard him sing "The Wind" from the Warren Zevon tribute, "Enjoy Every Sandwhich" album, then you can get an idea. Very low and whispery in places. Nothing wrong with that at all. The cover of "The Late Great Golden State" is a keeper for sure and makes the album worth owning as well as "I used to Be a Lion". "Orange County Suicide" is something a little bit different and it works. In fact, the only track here that doesn't do anything for me is "Smooth Me Over", but I never end up skipping it. I cherish the new version of "Your Blue Shadow" and "At Least We Dreamed" is incredible. Unlike anything he's ever done.

I'm singing all this praise so you're probably (or probably not) wondering why I'm giving this puppy 4 stars instead of 5. Well, here's my gripe (albeit a minor one): A little more variety wouldn't have hurt things. "Grey Walls" is an awesome track and a little more of that wouldn't have hurt anything, but being as it is, "Hobo" is an excellent effort and seems to have gotten him more critical acclaim and appreciation for his music.

Well, there ya have it. Even though it's not the masterpiece that "Edge of the World" was, it's still great in it's own right. It's been well over a year since its release and I'm still steadily listening. Thanks again Billy Bob and I'll be anxiously awaiting the next one.

I'm a Hobo Too.......2006-02-28

As with his previous albums BBT is once again in fine form. I just can't get enough and I am already waiting for the next one. I do have to say that this is not his best album, but he still blows away all other musicians. If you are looking to buy your first BBT album, I would recomened Priviate Radio first. But like I said, BBT is Awsome.

Categorically Defying Categorization . . . .......2006-02-24

This album, like BBT's previous two, defies categorization - none of his albums sound anything like each other - or like anything else out there for that matter. All of the songs on Hobo are written or co-written by BBT - the lyrics are personal, spare and achingly perfect. His vocals for much of the album are presented in hushed tones; there is a quiet intensity about them - kinda like when you're sitting in a crowded room and trying to carry on a private conversation with someone next to you. His storytelling abilities translate flawlessly from what you see and hear if you watch him as an actor to what you hear and imagine while listening to these songs. Admittedly, Hobo is not, for the most part, a happy-go-lucky, sing-along-at-the-top-of-your-voice kind of album; it's more like a just-be-quiet-and-listen deal. The lyrics tell about his experiences while living in California for the past 20 years, but anyone who's struggled with keeping body and soul together in a strange place should be able relate to the stories in here. My favorites are Orange County Suicide and El Centro on $5 a Day, but really all of the cuts on here are tremendous. If you've never had the pleasure of hearing him sing, you might want to take a listen to a few clips either here at Amazon or on his website at www.billybobmusic.com. Mr. Thornton's style is about as different from main stream as you can get; to quote Willie Nelson (when asked about Kris Kristofferson's vocals) "He ain't no Sinatra", however there is only Sinatra, and likewise there is only on BBT and I like his vocals just the way they are thank you very much.

An impressive, thought-provoking concept album.......2006-02-10

Billy Bob Thornton: hillbilly turned actor turned director turned hillbilly rocker...a unique ride. Few people can boast (or would want to boast) the experiences Thornton has been through. However, if you want to hear his frustrations, his insecurities, his pet peeves, and, yes, his heart, you just have to pick up a copy of HOBO and give it a listen.

This album is an ode to California and Los Angeles, and the varied cast of characters that inhabits them. From the destitute homeless in the title track, through the beautiful attention-grabbing young women in "Orange County Suicide," to the sleaze of "Purple Passion," to the whistful dreamers in "El Centro On Five Dollars a Day," to the has-beens in "Late Great Golden State"...Californians either get the shaft or an applause. Surprisingly, Thornton never judges his eclectic cast (except possibly in the case of the ironic sarcasm of "Orange County Suicide," and even then, Thornton remains ambiguous); he leaves the judgment up to the characters themselves.

And you, of course, the listener. Thornton's HOBO follows on the bootheels of THE EDGE OF THE WORLD, a modern alternative country record, and PRIVATE RADIO, an old-fashioned alternative country record (which Marty Stuart produced, and on which this album's "Your Blue Shadow" originally appeared). Though not as intimate as his first record, and not quite as country as his second, Thornton's third album finds him in tip-top writing and singing shape. His voice is rough and rigid enough to get the messages across; these songs do not need a crooner, they need someone who's been there, who's seen the underside of life and has lived to tell the tale. Billy Bob Thornton is that man. When you listen to HOBO, you are listening to Thornton's troubled heart. Dark, disturbing, or ironically amusing...like Thornton's previous albums, HOBO has it all.

Album Description

The unusual name of and the unorthodox stage show of Killer Dwarfs won them a passionate fan base. When this album was first released in 1988, their hard rock sound was favorably compared to that of Dokken. This is a disc filled with crunching Heavy Metal hooks and raw vocals on tracks such as Tell Me Please and We Stand Alone. Six bonus tracks are included. 16 tracks.

Awesome 80's metal.......2004-09-06

This is a great record. These guys can rock and the music is well written and well played. This is a fun record. Tell me please, Desperados, and Startin' to shine are the highlights but there is not a bad song to be found. I found this to be the antidote to BonJovi, Winger, Poison and other fluff. In my humble opinion., these guys were up ther with Dokken, Crue, Ratt, bands that had some talent and balls. A shame this record didn't sell a few million, it's that good. Buy this gem, you'll thank me. Give er', dunk!! rock on....

Can you beleive this is nostalgia?.......2001-02-27

I was a junior in high school when I bought my first copy of this. Back then cassette tape was the big thing, and CD was only for the rich. MTV HeadBanger's Ball was the hottest show in TV, and long hair teased way up was a "fashion do".

For quite some time, Killer Dwarfs stuff was nearly impossible to find. But now someone in the record business has done something right. This, the 3rd album from the Dwarfs, is undoubtably their best.

It was the success of their independent album "Stand Tall", what an ironic name for an album recorded by a bunch of guys going by the name Dwarf, that allowed this record to be made. "Stand Tall" is still an unavailable, but hopefully it will soon be rereleased.

Hard rock it is, but with a pop twist. Good writing is what raises this album over many of the one hit wonders of the time. Even if most of the tunes on this one didn't get mega air time, all the songs are catchy.

Listen to the samples, if you've gotten this far, you probably were looking for Killer Dwarfs anyway....

Great straight ahead rock.......2001-01-22

Made in USA in 2000, Serial# COL-CD-6451, Playing Time: 70 min.

"Big Deal", their 3rd album, was originally released in 1988 and was named after the fact the band finally signed a contract with a major record label (a big deal!).

This re-mastered version also includes as a bonus the first 6 of 12 tracks that would appear on their 5th album, "Method To The Madness"; 5 more show up on the re-mastered version of "Dirty Weapons".

"Big Deal" finally allow the band to make a better produced album, with commercial polish and catchy songs. Their style reminds me a bit of RATT, early MOTLEY CRUE, and FIREHOUSE, with no keyboard textures. It contains the small hit "We Stand Alone".

Intriguing.......2007-02-15

This is a very commanding and intriguing score. Composer Adolph Deutsch did a tremendous job scoring this one. Conductor William T. Stromberg and the Moscow Symphony Orchestra once again come through with an excellent recording intrinsically representing Adolph Deutsch's perspective.

A Tribute to Adolph Deutsch..........2005-04-02

In the shadow of the big film score trio of the 1930s and 40s, Steiner, Korngold, and Waxman; there were other distinguished film composers such as Adolph Deutsch. Thanks to this now budget priced reissue on Naxos, we are given a varied program example of his film score output from 1941-44. John Morgan again as in most of these projects has reconstructed and quilted together suites to preserve talent that would go down in obscurity. Deutsch was a contract composer at Warner a good part of his career, where the five selections on this disc are drawn. Oddly Deusch had a popular music background, but was not given any musical assignments. He was however thrown a comedy or two, one which was the Jack Benny, Ann Sheridan farce "George
Washington Slept Here". Through whimsical dressed up folk themes, we see the mishaps of a couple struggling to get a supposed historical farmhouse up to par. Nice to have a comedy score for a change! We get two Bogart scores, ofcourse "Maltese
Falcon" and "High Sierra". In Maltese the music is subtle and mysterious using economy of instruments; yes, because the studio was on a budget. "High Sierra" also was budget restricted, but Deutsch still managed a melody Steinerish score depicting the great natural locations of California's Sierra Mountains. In the "Mask of Dimitrios" we get a tension filled mood score as Peter Lorre pursues a deadman walking. "Norhtern Pursuit" a WWII
espionage thriller gets a big orchestra illustrating icy Canada and patriotic themes as well as Nazi darkness. The bars of V victory from Beethoven's fifth end the film abruptly. Mosfilm Studios does another good job with the recording, full and spacious.

If you're not familiar with the YELLOW PILLS series, then this is the best place to start. Jordan Oakes has a knack for compiling the perfect power pop mix CD, with most of the artists new to the average listener. This collection is from 1997, but the sound is always fresh. You know you're going to hear great melodies, soaring harmonies, jangly/crunchy guitars, boy/girl lyrics, cymbals, tambourines and handclaps to the max! Only I myself can create a better mix CD from my own personal collection.

Another great trip down the MFU memory lane.......2005-10-19

Volume 2 (comprised of 2 CDs) is another first rate compilation of the series' original music and not to be missed by U.N.C.L.E. fans. The liner notes are wonderful and add a lot to ones appreciation of the music.

My only problem is that THE CDs ARE COPY PROTECTED! Considerable work is needed to get the music onto your iPod, if you really want the music in your mp3 collection. This is a major hassle and a surprise, since the first set in the series was not copy protected.

The best of the three Double CDs ORIGINAL soundtrack release.......2005-07-12

Many of us have always thought The Man From UNCLE had the best music for a TV series ever, and this three double CD release confirms this. Wow! I'd be just happy with one CD, but having SIX (three double CDs packages) is absolutely out of this world, I mean, a lifetime wait come true.

Indeed, this is an unbelievable collection of three double CDs packages with the complete series soundtrack, and I mean the complete music, not a tune is missing.

And this is the ORIGINAL Man From Uncle music. Let me stress the point: this is the four years ORIGINAL soundtrack with the original recordings as they were heard throughout the series, not a no-name orchestra doing personal versions of the stuff. The audio transfer is very, very good, the music from late episodes is even in stereo.

Each individual CD carries over 70 minutes of music. All in all there you have the four TV seasons main titles and all, absolutely all of TMFU unforgetable music.

This is not a chronological release, meaning, all CDs have a mix of music from all four TV seasons. Volume 1 is heavier on early TV seasons stuff, fans of Jerry Goldsmith will love it. Those of us who prefer what Gerald Fried and later Richard Shores did with TMFU music, then volume 2 is mandatory. If you are a fan, you can't miss any of these six CDs. However if buying all three double packages is too much for you, you must go with Volume 2, no questions asked. Volume three is the weakest of them as it brings "suites" and a whole CD with "The Girl From Uncle" soundtrack, but you have a bonus "Open Channel D" beeper.

Each package is gorgeous, each with a glossy color booklet with extensive liner notes with details on how each tune was written to a specific TV series episode and how it was used onwards. You have bios on the composers, on how the recordings were made, even an overview on how many instruments were available in each of the years the music was recorded.

So, throw away your Hugo Montenegro Man From Uncle CD, this is the REAL thing.

One of my all time fave CDs.......2003-12-06

I got this CD after listening to it at a local Christian bookstore. I was looking through this comparison list and it said they sounded like Bush (which, they don't... they're MUCH better). Anyways, I put it in, and was blown away. While there is nothing extremely intricate or complicated about their music, they put all they have into it. "Collide" starts things off mellow, before breaking into the riff. Every other song kept me interested, but "Alcatraz" is what really got me. Again, nothing complicated, but one of my favorite songs (this and "Drift Away"). The riff is simple yet powerful. I love the vocals and lyrics on the whole album. I can't wait till a new CD comes out!

Fono where are you?.......2003-04-15

Ok, this CD was released in 1999. That's four years ago. The question I'm left asking is, Fono, where are you?!
This CD is truely awesome. At the time of it's release, before I heard it, I thought they were just another band released to sell off the uprising of rock. I was greatly mistaken. To me, this album is best described as "catchy." When I first got this CD, I was headed back home on a five hour roadtrip. I can honestly say that I was listening to two CD's the whole time. This one, and "40 Acres," by Caedmon's Call. The two sound nothing alike for those wondering. Anyway, I listened only to those two, and on that trip I listened to the Caedmon's Call CD once through. The rest of the trip was Fono and only Fono.
My advice is this. Click above and listen to the samples. If any little part sounds good, buy the CD. Any parts you don't like will grow on you.

Best of 99.......2002-03-12

Where have these guys been all my life? This is great stuff. Foo Fighters fans eat your hearts out! For a trio, these guys are really tight. The mix is wonderful, everything is full and 'in-your-face'. The songwriting is exceptional. When are these guys going to release another disc? The essence of melodic/power rock. Highly recommended.

Perfect.......2001-10-12

Perfect is all I can think of to describe this CD. Great pop/rock radio friendly sound. Very catchy hooks. All 12 songs are great no need to skip songs on this CD. I can't wait for them to put out a new CD. If you like the Goo Goo Dolls you'll like this band.

live is best.......2001-08-26

I saw Fono play at an MP3 tour in Visalia California with 5 other bands. GooGoo Dolls were the frontliners and let me tell you that by far Fono and Tonic stole the show. The boys from London sound great live, they are hot and nice as well. I bought their CD at the show and they where gracious enough to sign it for me. If you ever get the chance to see them perform you won't be dissappointed. Keep it up guys, looking forward to hearing your next album and hopefully seeing you guys on the charts!
