Editorial Reviews
GW, fan, 7-1-2003 Smyrna, GA
This album as some depth and just some "down home" good listening music.

Product Description
This album was written with several things in mind. I wanted to make sure that I wrote a few songs that had to do with current events which I believe I captured in "Get On Your Camel and Ride" and "Hey Saddam". I also wanted to capture the passion for the American Indian in "Oklahoma Cherokee" and the continuing saga and controversy regarding the Rebel Flag in "A Proud Free Banner". The American Indian and the Rebel Flag are both an integral part of American History.

I also wanted to include some "life experiences", not necessarily my own, on the Album. I tried, as most writers do, to write songs that many people could identify with. I believe I accomplished my goal with "Stop, Look and Listen", "Love You Forever", "Gone and Done It", "Tequila Drinking Man" and the two ballads "Talk To Me Darlin" and the "Little Things", which are both my personal favorites!

I hope that all of my listeners enjoy the music and feel that it was a good dollar spent in purchasing this album. Enjoy!!

5 out of 5 stars The best vocal performance ever?.......2007-06-20

I have listened to over 10,000 songs in my lifetime and I will go ahead and say it. This is the best vocal performance in the history of recorded sound. I'm a little creeped out by the look he's giving me on the cover, but when I hear these songs, I climb to the tallest hill in Nebraska and sing songs from my favorite musicals like Chippy. I am numbed by the sheer perfection of this. Go Taylor, woo hoo!!

5 out of 5 stars Taylor Hicks,, do i make you proud........2007-04-07

My Son really loves this song,,, It's now on his MP4

5 out of 5 stars Do I Make You Proud.......2007-01-19

Taylor Hicks made this song popular on American Idol when he became number l. It is a very good recording, and a collector's item as far as I am concerned.

5 out of 5 stars Congratulations!.......2007-01-18

From the sound of this CD.... TAYLOR HICKS will definately capture the heart and soul of many people turned off by music today! Its great to hear real music again!

There was nothing like the Robeson sound, ever. To describe his deep, rich, perfectly equalized instrument is futile. Go instead to "Balm in Gilead," the opening track, and see if you can listen to the last pianissimo phrase without falling to pieces. Robeson was at his best when the music was slow and the words contained spiritual or social messages. Faster, lighter fare like Kern's "I Still Suits Me" or Gershwin's "It Ain't Necessarily So" find the serious-minded singer out of his element, lacking irony and swing. "Old Man River," though, gets a simple, dignified treatment. It's Songs of Free Men, though, that will just keep Robeson's artistry rolling along, especially in Sony's astonishing transfers. --Jed Distler

4 out of 5 stars Robeson on wax.......2007-06-19

I found this album in a thrift store last week, for a couple of dollars. It's the original pressing on four 78 RPM records, in a gatefold format. It's in pristine condition. I really bought it for the incredible cover art, although I hope to be able to listen to it in this format at some point.

5 out of 5 stars The voice, the sound quality and the interpretation.......2004-09-24

Put this on your stereo and if it is good enough the depth and richness of Robeson's voice will make your fillings rattle and your chest rumble. The power of his voice is awesome. This CD is superbly recorded with no audible noise at normal listening levels.

4 out of 5 stars A Voice from the 40s, often dated, often moving.......2002-09-01

"Red diaper babies" have greeted this disc with nostalgic joy, and it captures a time and an aesthetic and a political belief with precision. Anyone interested in the emotional life of the pro-Soviet left of the 1940s should buy this disc. It's something like Henry Wallace set to music. There is much more to Robeson than that, however, and Sony has given us Robeson whole: there are songs by American masters of the musical, there are labor songs, religious songs, as well as the kind of faux-folk songs which the butcher supreme Josef Stalin encouraged and which were not taken seriously inside the USSR (except at gunpoint!!) but which were taken up by dupes around the world. This is Robeson at his least savory - willing propagandist for a vile mass murderer. Songs such as "Native Land" (fittingly, Robeson is referring to the Soviet Union) and the Red Army song are the equivalent of the "Horst Wessel Song", anthems of murder, and it is difficult to listen to the worst of them without retching. On the other hand, Robeson's commitment to American folk culture was real. "Balm in Gilead" is deeply beautiful; "John Henry" is heroic; "By an' By" is both resigned yet hopeful. "Joe Hill" captures an era in labor history. Anyone interested in American popular song should hear these. Turning to Broadway, his "Old Man River" is very fine, though Robeson changed the lyrics for political reasons and Leonard Warren has done the song better. I disagree with the editorial reviewer: "I Still Suits Me" is wonderfully playful and shows Robeson using his gorgeously rich voice to tease and poke fun. However, Marc Blitzstein's "Purest Kind of a Guy" is beyond saving - another example of Robeson recording an unworthy song by a political fellow-traveller. Ugh. But for every miss there are two hits. Robeson performs Mendelssohn's Elijah with nobility, and sings his favorite song, "Water Boy", with joyous pride: "There ain't no hammer that's on these mountains that rings like mine, boys, that rings like mine."
No one need have any fears about the mono sound quality. The orchestra in the second half of the program is at times a little dwarfed by Robeson's voice, but it generally sounds clean and colorful, and the great artist's voice rings like no other.

5 out of 5 stars Robeson at his best.......2000-05-12

It's hard to believe that most of these recordings pre-date the advent of magnetic tape: the CD transfer is superlative. The songs and performance are beyond reproach. Notable is the imaginative packaging in miniature 'record album' format, complete with the original cover art, and a replica of the original Columbia record label applied to the CD.

In response to a previous question: Robeson's performance of Danny Boy (Londonderry Air) can be found on the Vanguard LP entitled "Robeson" (VRS-9037).

5 out of 5 stars some of the greatest songs of the last century.......2000-05-05

In the 1940s, before rabid McCarthyism and racism had taken its toll on him, Robeson made these wonderful recordings of spirituals, classics and pop tunes. Accompanied by the solo piano of the incomparable Lawrence Brown, or by an orchestra, the songs ring out with pride, dignity, skill and unmatched integrity. The shameful treatment that Robeson was subject to from American authorities certainly seem grotesquely absurd to a modern listener. The wonderful version of "The House I Live In" included on this cd should forever kill off any suspicion that Robeson did not love his country deeply. This album ought to be heard by millions of people, world wide. Robeson's voice is nothing less than a glorious high point in 20th century music, and it's hard to think of any recording capturing it to greater advantage.

3 out of 5 stars "Various Artists"--more true than you might think!.......2003-05-18

This is a nice collection of patriotic fare, and considering the price, a fair buy for the money. What the listings don't tell you is that the songs on this CD are NOT actual recordings of the stars you know and love; rather, they are covers of the original artist's songs, performed by unnamed artists who strive for a sound close to the originals. On a few cuts, these covers are actually pretty good-"I Will Remember You" is done very nicely, as is the Ray Charles impersonator's version of "America the Beautiful". But try as they might, the performances of the songs on this CD for the most part falls short. "America", as originally sung by Neil Diamond, is lacking. It's obviously a guy trying to sound like Neil, but only Neil Diamond sounds like Neil Diamond! And, bless her heart, the singer on "Hero" sings flat. It was uncomfortable to listen to. You can't really do a cover of Mariah Carey with the original quality, just because almost no one (Pat Benatar excepted) comes close to having Mariah's incredible vocal range.
Bottom line--a nice discount CD collection of popular Americana, but you get what you pay for.

5 out of 5 stars Proud To Be An American.......2001-11-11

Because of the events on 9/11/01 , this song seems to bring out the best in Americans. Whenever it comes on the radio, people automatically turn it up and a lot of them stop what they are doing just to sing along with it...as if it was the national anthem. I love this song dearly because I Love This Land...God Bless The USA...

4 out of 5 stars Tantalizing tidbits.......2000-06-14

You may not love Paul Sperry's voice, but you gotta love his wide-ranging interests and his obvious joy in performing American music. Singers exploring the contemporary American art song will note numerous composers' dedications to this quirky tenor, and listening to his recordings, you quickly understand why. His interpretations go right to the heart of the matter, and proceed right over the top only when it's rigorously demanded in the music. Singers looking for new repertoire will also appreciate the extensive liner notes, in which Mr. Sperry explains where he found the songs.

The range of composers, beyond Billings and Bolcom to Weill and Weisgall, is maddening, giving a tantalizing taste of the diverse flavors of American song in the 20th century. The songs run the gamut of emotions, too, from Ben Weber's powerful 'Mourn, Mourn' to Cowell's sarcastic 'Who Wrote This Fiendish Rite of Spring?' to the loving memory of 'George.'

I highly recommend this accessible and communicative Sampler, and would also suggest that listeners try Mr. Sperry's more tightly focussed collection, Romantic American Songs.

5 out of 5 stars This is the voice of Free Men...........2001-11-03

I've had most of these songs on vinyl and they provide me with many wonderful memories. Paul Robeson had an unusual voice: a bass with baritone colorations, huge and powerful, with what can best be described as a mellow urgency. If that description confuses, then you'll just have to get this album and hear for yourself what I mean.
Robeson championed the cause of the working man through his music. Joe Hill is one of my favorites, in which Paul sinks down to the vocal depths with an astounding ease. The Song of the Plains is a rouser, and, if I remember correctly, it's sung in two languages. The Ballad For Americans is here, and it's a classic... and, for me, it's the very definition of America and the great spirit and soul of its people and its greatness. By and By is one of my favorite spirituals, and this is the version I remember. Who sang spirituals with as much richness and depth of feeling as Paul Robeson? Maybe Marian Anderson, whose voice was unique and whose life broke through so many barriers.
This is an album for those who love freedom and the many races who seek it. God bless Paul Robeson for his incredible contribution to humanity.

        3 out of 5 stars Item not received........2006-01-15

        I have not received this item yet. It is on back order. I had to rate it so put 3 stars. However sicne it hasn't been received I can't really rate it. You ought to take situations like this into consideration if you're going to do this sort of thing.

        3 out of 5 stars A Nice Assortment.......2001-03-13

        The CD contains a nice selection of songs from composers who we may not hear that much of. I bought this CD for Copland's Dirge in Woods and it was very nice. But I found some other nice treasures on this CD too. Four vocalists, two males and two females, take on this sometimes very challenging music. The music for the most part is not soft and languid both rather has some what we would think of as mid 20th century types of chords. Unless you're into that kinda of thing, you may not want to get this CD. These aren't master works, but just nice little songs a composer might of written while taking a break between writing operas or symphonies.

        5 out of 5 stars Important American art songs performed by superb recitalists.......2000-05-30

        This CD, a digital remastering of a recording originally released in 1962, is an extraordinary value for anyone interested in American art song, or simply in fine singing. I bought it because I wanted to hear Eleanor Steber's performance of Griffes's "Waikiki", which did not disappoint. But there are many other wonderful songs, all presented with great artistry. They range from the demanding complexity of Barber's "Nuvoletta" and Ives's "General William Booth Enters into Heaven" to the lyricism of the Ernst Bacon songs to texts by Emily Dickinson. The final song on the CD, John McCollum's performance of Henry Cowell's "The Donkey", is especially memorable; I recommend this version over the one on the Albany label's "Songs of Henry Cowell" CD (which I bought because my interest in Cowell's songs was raised by hearing "The Donkey").
