Customer Reviews:

Beautiful - no other word for it.......2007-05-30

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. A must for both casual and die-hard Western fans. Great even if your sense of nostalgia doesn't reach that far back (like me; I'm 22). I love the combination of slow ballads and fast, jumpy songs.

More Momories of Westerns.......2007-03-09

Boy, do these bring back memories of some of the Great Westerns of the 50's. We sit and listen to the songs and think of the movies and the TV shows that they are from. We can remember who starred in the movies and how the "Sons of the Pioneers" entered the stage to sing.
This is a GREAT CD.

Old West Nostalgia.......2006-10-29

For anyone old enough to remember all the great Old West TV shows and movies from the same era, this CD is bound to bring you lots of fond memories and relaxing pleasure. What's best, the artists are all the originals; there are no remakes. Plenty of tunes are on this CD. It's well worth the price and the time.

Very Disappointing.......2006-10-24

The quality of the samples is better than the quality of the recordings.

I Look Toward Home.......2006-10-05

This album takes me back to Texas. "The Sons Of Katie Elder" sung by Johnny Cash and "Nevada Smith" sung by Merle Kilgore sound good but are a bit modern. "The Searchers" sung by the Sons Of The Pioneers really hits home. As the sun sets and the days grow short I ride away and I look toward home.

Fun Family Music.......2007-04-11

This is a fun musical experience for kids of all ages. My son (age 9) has memorized almost all of the songs and loves the humor in the music. we have given this CD as a gift numerous times and every one seems to love it.

Truly a Family Party.......2007-01-19

Good CD to listen to with the kids. Great change of pace for when the kids start to wear out one of their other favorite CDs. A few of the songs are geared more for the adults than the kids but a good mix of songs for everyone.

New Mom...New Trout Fan.......2005-09-08

OK,I admit it...I ordered this CD because of one song, My Hair Had A Party Last Night (The phrase has become a regular morning greeting in our house.) The great surprise about this CD...every song is a winner. No telling kids what to do or think, just great songs about cool stuff that sounds like fun! We love it!

Buy it!!!.......2004-05-30

Love, love, love!!! I have given this CD numerous times as a gift. Just a great collection of songs! I DARE you to NOT try to count along with 18 Wheels on a Big Rig!

For "adult" Trout, check out "Reel Life"...I listen to it all the time, even after owning it for about 7 years now. Enjoy!

kids music for adults.......2004-05-10

For everyone who has ever said "not AGAIN" when loading traditional "kids" music in the car, this is the album for your family. We got ours on cassette and wore it out; we're still not tired of it. Who can resist a group that counts to 18 in roman numerals and gets it right? The songs are singable, danceable, and great fun. It's got just the right mix of fast and slow, silly and serious, and none of the annoying frenetic goofiness often heard in kids albums.

The line between evangelist and entertainer has always been somewhat indistinct. But as showcased on this 43-track, double-disc collection culled from his '87-'96 recordings for Elektra/Nonesuch/Atlantic, Michael Feinstein's dedication to spreading the gospel of the American song often blurs it beyond recognition. While the singer's pedigree for the task is impeccable (a long-term stint as Ira Gershwin's assistant and early career sponsorship by Liza Minnelli), his interpretations often succeed by playing off a tense axis of fervent emotionalism and a joyous sense of irreverence.

If his readings of romantic standards can sometimes tend toward the precious, they're often balanced here by sheer dramatic power and telling insights ("Isn't It Romantic" fairly bristles with ironic chauvinism) and a few loopy curves ("The Mole People," the Sherman Brothers' "The Ugly Bug Ball," and the previously unreleased "Rhode Island Is Famous for You"). Feinstein's dedicated song archaeology is also showcased on several gems: "Violin," a duet with Liza Minnelli; "My Favorite Year," a rejected ballad for the film of that name; the sublime "lost" Gershwin classic "Ask Me Again."

Sprinkled with live performances (the forum where Feinstein's talents seem most energized) and studio outtakes and featuring a lengthy print interview with the singer, the set chronicles both the pioneering efforts of one of pop music's most successful revivalists and, crucially, the cream of his beloved American songwriters, from stalwarts Gershwin, Berlin, and Porter to later legends like Herman, Styne, Lane, Martin, and Mercer. --Jerry McCulley

Album Description

The definitive collection of performances by the Grammy nominated singer features 43 tracks from 14 albums released by Elektra, Elektra Nonesuch, and Atlantic labels from 1987-1996. Plus 8 previously unreleased live tracks only available here 'Rhode Island is Famous For You', 'S Wonderful', 'Alexander's Ragtime Band', 'I Love A Piano', 'Patisserie', 'Get Out And Get Under The Moon' (with Page Cavanaugh), 'Love Is Here To Stay' & 'Violin' (with Liza Minnelli). 2 Digipacks housed in a slipcase with a booklet. Rhino Records. 2002.

Customer Reviews:

Mixed feelings.......2005-10-05

This album has some GREAT songs on it; sophisticated swing being one of my favorites. However many of the other songs are too operatic and lame. I give three stars but this album is definatly worth it just for some of the better songs.

Your love for this superb collection will be here to stay..........2002-07-18

The magnificently talented Michael Feinstein has made one wonderful album after another for nearly two decades. Now that Elektra and Rhino have put together this anthology, I am blown away by the versatility and diversity in Feinstein's recorded output. Such amazing rare gems, combined with the most beloved favorites in the history of American Popular Song. Assembled with wit, intelligence, and obvious affection on the part of the record company, this set is a keeper. You'll love it!

He's done it again.......2002-07-15

Is there anything this man can't sing? This collection is so varied as to be the definitive collection of songs for any occassion.

This is perfect background music for a dinner party for a whole group but especially for two. Light, romantic and just gorgeous. You just can't go wrong when Michael Feinstein is your musical choice.

Way to go Michael, you've done it again!

Absolutely 'S WONDERFUL!.......2002-06-10

There are very few contemporary performers who can hold their own with the truly great interpreters of American popular song. Michael Feinstein is truly the ONLY performer of the "younger" generation who really understands what these songs are all about. His incredible knowledge of this music, and his enthusiasm and passion for it have fueled his career. Rhino Records has done a truly outstanding job of putting together an anthology that exemplifies why Mr. Feinstein has become so beloved by audiences around the world. The packaging is excellent, and filled with interesting photos and background information about many of the selections.

This collection not only contains all the favorites one would expect, but a neat group of surprises too. I especially love the duets with people like Liza Minnelli and Rosemary Clooney, and the various collaborative efforts with songwriters like Jule Styne and Burton Lane accompanying Michael at the piano.

This collection is a classic to be treasured. Bravo Michael!
Bravo Rhino!

A beautiful 2 disc CD-another hit for Michael.......2002-06-09

I have every CD Michael has ever made and this is by far one of the best ones because of Michael's range in singing and his wonderful singing voice. I love his duets with Rosemary Clooney and Liza Minelli. He is a wonderful performer on this double CD and am looking foward to the next CD.

A Chorus Line may be better known, but Dreamgirls was a towering achievement for director Michael Bennett. Loosely based on the Supremes' story, the 1982 musical told a typical show-biz tale of fame, backbiting, and survival. As is often the case for one-night only events, the cast in this concert version (recorded in New York on September 24, 2001) is led by an eye-popping assortment of Broadway powerhouses: Lillias White (The Life), Audra McDonald (Ragtime, Marie Christine), and Heather Headley (Ragtime). McDonald reveals a previously undisclosed comic streak, while Headley confirms her status as a rising star. Reprising the role of Effie Melody White (created by Jennifer Holliday), White belts the classic "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going." But the beauty of Dreamgirls is that it's so packed with catchy, Motown-influenced R&B numbers that each lead can sink her teeth into some prime material and get a turn in the spotlight. This double-CD set really makes you wish you'd been there when the show was recorded: you can hear the crowd going berserk at times, and the temptation is strong to do the same thing in the comfort of your living room. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Customer Reviews:

Dreamgirls 2001.......2007-06-27

This was the worst reproduction of Dreamgirls that I ever heard. I was so disappointed the CD went into the garbage. This is one CD that I would not sell to the public because I expect so much and get so little.

Not the real "DREAM" experience.......2007-04-04

Forget about the film sountrack. Get this CD set. And it's far better than the original cast recording which goes lacking. More songs and more everything that makes a live performance just what it is. Live (compared to film where anything can be done to enhance a performance!) -- the energy, the excitement and the performances make this a rare treat for anyone wanting to share in the real DREAM experience.

Isn't a full Broadway revival long over due. But wait: I've heard rumors that a rvial may be "in the works. I certainly hope so. Maybe this time it will receive the Tony award it deserved in the first place.

Absolutely brilliant!.......2007-01-28

There is atleast 5 new songs on this album that were not in the movie! These girls kill it I mean they are just amazing singers, and this all live! This is needed for any Dreamgirls fanatic like me! You are gonna love it! Enjoy! love live laugh :)

Amazing!!!!!!.......2006-12-04

As a theatre lover, this recording is amazing. I actually prefer this recording to the OBC. Sheryl Lee Ralph is okay, but can't touch Audra's Deena. The first time I heard Ms. White's "And I Am Telling You..", goosbumps all over my body. The only weak cast member in my opinon is Heather Headly. Vocally, she just isn't there. Too much Aida, not enough Dreamgirls. But all in all, a great live recording of a great show.

One Night Only .......2006-07-19

I was lucky enough to attend this One Night Only concert performance of Dreamgirls and it was a night I will never forget!! The cast was brilliant and the cd is as good if not better than the Broadway cast recording because it is the entire show not just the songs. Bravo to everyone involved !!!

A Treasure For Parents & Toddlers.......2004-07-15

My 4 grandsons, age 4 and under, their parents and grandparents absolutely love this CD and others by the incomparable James Coffey. His amazing train videos and his music CD's about trains and also Animal Groove, never fail to delight. The toe tapping rhythms are uplifting and even babies respond - I can attest to that - our 5 month old giggles and jumps about in his saucer when we turn up the volume and clap (or run about the room pretending to be a train) - you get the picture! We are all hooked on James Coffey words, music, and videos.

At age 3, one grandson had all the songs memorized. This grandmother in her sixties provides all the grandchildren and their friends with this CD and the others in the collection. A mood lifter, an educational tool, an all around great CD for all ages. The musical arrangements are fantastic.

Kids will love it, parents will love it.......2004-03-07

I love kid music that I can enjoy also. (Especially on those long car rides when the kids' music has to be played over and over to keep the little ones content.) The music and lyrics of all the songs on this CD are delightful to adult and child ears alike. The music is cheerful, contemporary, and full of train lore and sounds--a key to its success with the little train fan in our family. This Jim Coffey winner is right on track!

My kid LOVES this CD. Yours will too!!!.......2003-03-07

My son is totally into trains of all types. This is a trait that runs in the family. I don't even know HOW he got into them so much. He just loves 'em. I guess I am happy--its sort of an American tradition to be into trains. They meant so much to our history.

So--when at the local library I spied this CD, I borrowed it. Oh my gosh. My son just LOVES this thing. Especially the songs with sound effects--but in other songs he hears the key words: train, railroad, etc. He is only 2 years old--so the focus of this CD on one subject, his favorite subject, helps him to appreciate all the songs--not just the ones with a whistle here, a bell there, etc.

Finally, I have to say that even I really like the CD. It is some old standards mixed with new songs--but almost always in a style that an adult can stand to listen to. Coffey has a nice voice--and he is not a gaggle of kids singing nursery rhymes. It is really a nice break from that kind of kids music CD. A couple songs are a bit new-Jazzy, and while not bad are just not MY cup of tea. But others include very tasteful folky sounding songs and some straight ahead foot-stomping real travelin' music, if ya know what I mean.

From 2 to 92 years old, nobody will be offended, and many will be happy to hear old favorites and tasteful music that kids (and big kids) who love trains will love. Buy this CD if your kid is into trains.

Songs relating to the lure and lore of trains.......2002-05-17

In My Mama Was A Train, James Coffey performs fifteen original and traditional songs relating to the lure and lore of trains. Children of all ages (and a great many adult railroad buffs) will enjoy Coffey's highly recommended signature piano, acoustic guitar and harmonic stylings, along with the real sounds and rhythms of locomotive engines accenting and enhancing each piece. The songs include What Do You Hear? (2:39); That Little Red Caboose Behind The Train (3:04); Nine Hundred Miles (3:02); Counting Those Railroad Cars (1:35); Old Engine No. 9 (2:04); Build A Bridge (3:43); Rock Island Line (1:56); Wabash Cannonball (3:15); New River Train (2:15); I'm A Train (1:51); Casey Jones (2:26); Down By The Station (1:36); Little Red Caboose (1:33); Workin' In The Railway Yard (2:58); and the title piece, My Mama Was A Train (2:49).

Not in My Family: Songs of Hope and Inspiration (Gospocenteric/Zomba Label Group).......2007-01-22

Music has long played a seminal role in the behavior and attitudes within the black community, so this compilation uniting some of gospel music biggest artists in the fight against HIV/AIDS is long overdue. Featuring a nice mix of songs covering various styles and forms within Gospel music, the 13-track collection thematically address the need for more hope, love and understanding in the fight against this pandemic. As an added bonus, the CD also includes a wallet size card of National HIV/AIDS Hotlines. Following in the wake of similarly released sets from Pop, Dance and Latin artists, Not in My Family is a fine example of music maximizing its full potential to both entertain listeners and educate them.

Urban Network Magazine .......2007-01-20

Entertainment industry journlaist Gil Robertson has coverd "the glamorous life" of African American superstardom in an enviable career of honorable achievement, world travel and industry respect. For the last three years, he has been assembling the literary anthology, "Not in My Family: AIDS in the African American Community" that gets to the heart of those who have suffered the denials, hatreds and misunderstandings related to HIV/AIDS victims who were family members, loved ones or professional peers. It is a powerful book with contributions ranging from stage and screen star Sheryl Lee Ralph to popular porn performer Mr. Marcus. As a companion to this book, Zomba Gospel has assembled a remarkable compilation of compassionate Conteporry Gospel recordings to comfort, inspire and fortify those still dealing with the devastation of this ruthless disease, now a feverishly increasing threat to African American women. The 13-song CD of studio and live recordings touches many moods including the thumpin' "I Found It" by Bobby Jones & New Life (w/the Nashville Super CHoir), Byron Cage's "Life Him Up," Natalie WIlson & SOP's "Free and Papa San's electrifying reggae jam "Step Pon di Enemy" to more introspective pieces such as Percy Bady's tender "Gone But Not Forgotten," Jon Gibson's "Gone with You" and Kirk Franklin's "Always"". The CD also includes one previous unreleased track: "You Can Make It" by New Directon.

My Last Days On Earth- Just plain Fabulous.......2007-05-13

I've been waiting for Bear to put out this Box Set for a couple of, no make that a few years now, so I snaggled it when I got the opportunity. First off, if anyone has a Bear Family Box Set of just about any artist that they have covered you will be pleased with the QUALITY. This Bill Monroe Box Set is the best one yet of the 6 Sets that Bear has issued covering Bill and his recording career. The music is great and there was even some previously unreleased material. The hard cover book (the size of an LP only way thicker) is absolutely awesome. Get this Box Set at all costs...you won't regret it.

A Young Don Gibson.......2007-02-17

There are good songs on this CD, but Don Gibson's voice has not matured, or the studio where this particular CD was recorded did not have accustics to help enhance his voice.

Superb Collection.......2005-11-19

And, they're original recordings. Here is an affordable, yet absolutely complete, collection of original Don Gibson recordings. Of course, we have Bear Family records to thank. I would gladly pay more for cd's if companies would release albums and compilations of the same quality as this. This CD includes all of the greats, to include: "Sea Of Heartbreak", "Oh Lonesome Me", "A Legend in My Time", "Blue, Blue, Day", and in my opinion, his finest, "Lonesome Number One". A total of 26 perfectly penned, sung, and recorded songs. You'd be foolish to pass this one up.

The best collection from one of the greatest singers.......2005-04-06

I remember listening to "Wayne Rainey on ye radio dial at WCKY Cincinatti, Ohio" through my grandmother's bedroom wall late at night as I drifted off to sleep, and these Don Gibson songs are the same sounds from my childhood. Forget the remakes and don't take any chances on other collections. The subtlety is missing from the newer stereo versions and Don Gibson's voice had become much weaker, not holding the long notes as they were on the originals. Both male and female background vocals are on the old version of Sea of Heartbreak (my favorite Don Gibson Song). Female vocals are missing on the stereo remakes. The newer Sweet Dreams is unuseful after hearing the original. The old versions are ten million million million times better (ten to the nineteenth). -- Gerard Owmby, Fairfield, Iowa

Definitive Recordings from a Great Talent.......2001-03-28

Don Gibson was a very popular performer in the late 50's and 60's. Curiously he has not been canonized by an industry always willing to enshrine even it's lesser stars.

There is no doubt that Don Gibson is a genuine legend. His voice alone should be enough to solidify his legacy. On top of that add his abilities as a songwriter. He wrote a slew of classics including "Sweet Dreams", "Oh, Lonesome Me", "Sea of Heartbreak" & "Legend In My Time. If that's not enough to convice you, just listen to his energetically strummed Django Reinhardt-inspired rythym guitar.

I've played "Sea of Heartbreak" for lots of people who said they didn't like country and they all immediately fell in love with it. While there is a little filler on here (and what country artist doesn't have some) there is plenty to fall in love with, including rarites like "Sweet, Sweet Girl" and "If You Don't Know the Sorrow".

For anyone with more than a passing interest in this artist or in good country music, this Bear Family collection is the only one to consider. It's the only one I have found that includes the ORIGINAL recordings of all of his classics. Avoid those lower-priced and far inferior Curb & Hickory sets of late-career re-recordings. Don Gibson deserves better and so do you.

Quality Leaves Something.......2000-11-24

pavarotti & friends for war child.......2003-12-28

I'm still looking for this album in karaoke DVD version, but I still don't found it at all. So, please tell me, where I can get it. Thanks.

Wonderfully diverse.......2001-02-11

Recorded live from the Parco Novi Sad, in Modena Italy, on 20 June 1996, this is another of Pavarotti's wonderful concerts to benefit children who are caught up in the horrors of war. Some of the worlds best performers have gotten together for a diverse musical experience that defies language barriers, as well as musical genres. Practically everything is covered on this album. From rock, pop, classical, blues, sacred, jazz and latin...it's all here. Whatever your musical preference, this is an album that should appeal to all in it's diversity, and considering the worthy cause, a necessity for music lovers. And where else will you be able to hear Pavarotti exercising his chops with the likes of Eric Clapton, Liza Minelli, Sheryl Crow, Jon Secada, Joan Osborne and Elton John! And speaking of Sheryl Crow, you cannot miss her singing a Mozart opera aria with Pavarotti. She is truly amazing...who would have believed it. She more than holds her own with the maestro. This is a must have.

Incredibly life-affirming! Musical diversity at its best........1999-06-12

This CD has two levels of depth. Listen to it as blend of Euro-pop and US big-names, THEN try again.

"Holy Mother" travels from its prayer for strength to the junked-out streets screaming for survival in "Saint Teresa". On the journey continues to Elton's "Live Like Horses"-- his personal tribute to Versace. There, the classical truly melds with contemporary anthem-- and begs us to be free of our self imposed fences and walls. Food for thought and music to soothe the soul. This collection helped me survive my dear niece's suicide.

Takes Me Back.......2007-04-06

Although I am not into this type of rap anymore (I'm 30). I loved this album when I was an 18 year old college kid.

Classic hardcore album.......2006-08-08

Love this album to death. TDF's two best tracks are on here, Dope Dayton Ave and Flinttown. I can listen to those tracks a million times over, in fact I have. They are two of the best hardcore rap tracks ever recorded.

The rest of the album is great. There's only two tracks I'm not too fond of, nutty niggas and billy blunt. The rest of the album is pure magic for a debut.

If you love hardcore gangsta ish by some real G's, get it.

It doesn't get much harder than this here.......2005-06-21

Dayton Family is a rap group, coming from Flint, Michigan (about an hour from Detroit), growing up in one of the hardest and hopeless ghettos to be found. This album is hard-core to the fullest, it just doesn't get harder than this, it just can't! The album is street-gangsta rap in it's purest form. Those guys (rappers Bootleg and Shoestring, with their producer Steve Pitts) are on a whole new lever when it comes to spitting hard lyrics. Their flows are untouchable, the definition of hardcore rapping, and the whole feel of the album is different than many albums. The Dayton family do not focus on getting rich and gaining some (fading) fame, buying expensive cars and useless jewelery, their mentality is totally different - it's grim and dark. With them it's all about modest survival, just maintaining and staying alive. This album was released nation-wide in 95, but most of it was already released on an indy label ib 93. Yet it won't sound that out of date. The beats are banging', a combination of West Coast and Midwest flavor. Like I said, Shoestring and Bootleg's deliveries are plain ruthless, and the lyrics are some of the most shocking you'll get to hear. They don't hold back for nothing! For exmaple, on the title track you get to hear (over a great beat):
"What's on my mind is a rape in progress/
I got my di** in between some bit** breasts/
What's on my mind is a knife at a ho*'s throat/
I took her gold, her pus**, and her mink coat/"
If you read this, you'll get the idea. Don't think it's some stupid album, all about killing and drug dealing, it's much more. It's about survival, about hustling, and trying to have a normal life in an imposible environment. The album title suits it's content perfectly, the boys speak their mind, and tell about the life they live. Dayton Family is one of the hardest and realest groups ever, and if you are fan of the likes of NWA, Geto Boys, Compton's Most Wanted and Three 6 Mafia, there's no way you won't love "What's On My Mind?", the group's first album (they only released two albums after that) and it is a classic.

Real!.......2005-06-19

When I first saw the promos for the Dayton Family's debut video and album I told everyone I'm getting that album. I wasn't disappointed at all. Everysong on this disc is real and straight to the damn point. F.B.I. was a better album, but this one cannot be overlooked as these young nigga's told a story about life in the hood of Flint was real!

2 Hard 4 Punks.......2005-01-27

I got this cd after I got FBI. Although most rappers dont have Very good first cd's TDF is an exception. I left a star off cause there are only half a cd of good songs but be assured that these songs are hits. Worth the buy over and over.
