Arlo Guthrie's latest release, In Times Like These finds him sharing the stage with the University of Kentucky Symphony Orchestra. The CD was recorded live March 10, 2006 at the Singletary Center for the Arts in Lexington, Kentucky. The cd features the newly written single, In Times Like These. "Arlo is an American classic, and the album shows off his gift as a singer. The orchestral arrangements are lush and beautifully played, and add so much to the testure. This is a wonderful album." Keith Lockhart

Customer Reviews:

Another facet of a fabulous musician.......2007-07-10

This Arlo Guthrie album represents a little-known side of an artist most known for popular tunes like "City of New Orleans." It may surprise folk purists, but it is really rich and every stringed instrument and distant french horn sound enhances the song, without being overbearing. He reveals his profound musical and songwriting skills as well as his ability to integrate his own style of music into an orchestra, without losing one bit of his true self. The newer "In Times Like These" and "Patriot's Dream" are extraordinary, especially in times like these. No kidding. The same warm and lovely disposition he presents at all his shows is here; you've just got to see him live to know what I'm talking about. See his "Live in Sydney" album to round out the live experience.

Album Description

Times Like These Rick Danko Times Like These is Rick Danko's last studio album and is the culmination of the Rock `n Roll Hall of Famer's work which spanned forty years. The CD starts with a beautiful original piece written by Rick Danko entitled Times Like These, which was a natural choice for the title of the CD. The album includes a brilliant and heartfelt cover of the Grateful Dead's Ripple, an inspirational version of Sam Cooke's Chain Gang and the rocking All Our Past Times, which he co-wrote with Eric Clapton in the late seventies. Included on the CD is another original song co-written by Danko that follows the theme of the CD Change is Good. Rick's brother Terry Danko contributes bass on this lively foot stomping tune. A masterfully re-worked version of This Wheel's On Fire by The Crowmatix, who also contributed on several other tracks, features some truly inspired accordion work by Garth Hudson. Two songs from the Acoustic Café radio show recorded on December 6, 1999, Let the Four Winds Blow featuring Levon Helm on harp and The Band's song, Book Faded Brown, are a reminder of why Rick's voice is such a treasure. Maud Hudson's backing vocals on Book Faded Brown are a perfect compliment to Rick. Long time Band producer Aaron Professor “Louie” Hurwitz added bass on the track and the talented Gary Burke contributed drums on a remarkable version of this song.

Also included on the CD is a ballad co-written by Rick that is a testimony to his philosophy of “helping out the neighborhood”. You Can Go Home calls to mind the plight of the countless thousands of refugees from Bosnia to Rwanda. The last song of the CD People of Conscience, which is in the spirit of Rick's beliefs, is a tribute to those who take on numerous environmental and political issues that haunt the world.

Customer Reviews:

Indispensable.......2006-07-06

This posthumous collection is indispensable for the Danko fan. As one who rediscovered this amazing musician when he was already "too soon gone," I'm just grateful that Rick had left behind enough studio material to make this album possible. The title track is as beautiful and moving as anything Rick ever did. His cover of Sam Cook's "Chain Gang," and two typically optimistic songs that Rick co-wrote ("Change Is Good" and "You Can Go Home") are additional highlights that even caught the ear of my teenage son. There really isn't a bad cut on the album, though the last one, "People of Conscience," will challenge those used to getting their social messages through layers of cynicism and irony. Treat yourself to this fitting memorial to one of the 20th century's most soulful and underrated artists.

What a great farewell.......2001-09-17

The trend nowadays is to look upon a mediocre album as great if the artist has recently passed away. Many may think that I gave this album 5 stars because of Rick's passing nearly two years ago, but this is by far the best solo work he has done. Each song has a different flavor to it, unlike his self-titled album, which, while an extraordinary album, has many tracks that sound a lot alike. "Times Like These" is not a great album. It's a classic. Tears were brought to my eyes when I first listened to this on Christmas Day last year. Rick's sweet, trembling voice will never be equaled and, even after 40 years of smoking cigarettes, one would still be hardpressed to find another singer to better him in his later years. I still cannot get through this album without thinking about Rick the person: fun-loving, joyous, and always upbeat. If you buy this album for one song, it is "This Wheel's On Fire", a mostly instrumental version of his collaboration with Bob Dylan over thirty years earlier. Eric Clapton's words about Rick Danko, "It's my own humble opinion, but I think you have to be a great musician before you can sing like that", are so true. Rick, we all miss you, I know you can hear this masterpiece and you are surely proud of it.

A fitting farewell.......2000-09-05

There is a tendency to overpraise an artist who has just died, so I will try to refrain from doing so. I would love to give Rick Danko's final album five stars, however, while this a fitting farewell, it doesn't quite measure up to "classic" status for me.

The album starts out wonderfully with the beautiful, self-written title track "Times Like These." Rick then moves on to a fun cover of the Grateful Dead tune "Ripple" which features performances by "Band" mates Levon Helm and Garth Hudson.

Other highlights are a a cover of the old Sam Cooke song "Chain Gang" and a new take on "This Wheel's on Fire," the song he co-wrote with old pal Bob Dylan. This version of "Wheel" is almost an instrumental with Rick's vocals finally added as just one last instrument. The final song, "People of Conscience," seems especially fitting, aimed at artists (and anyone else) who has ever tried to make a difference in this world.

There are some odd selections here as well. "Book Faded Brown" is a song The Band just covered on their last album "Jubilation." Although this is a live version, it doesn't sound that much different than the "Jubilation" version to warrant inclusion on this album. If a live "Band" number was desired, there were surely more inspired choices available.

But this, and other quibbles, are minor. If you're a fan of Rick Danko and "The Band," this is definitely an album you'll want to pick up. If you're asking "Rick Who?" and "What band?"...then maybe you should try "Music From Big Pink" first.

Rick's Finest Hour.......2000-08-28

This album shows the true musical maturity of one of Rock n' Roll's most soulful voices. From the title track through the most beautiful cover of "Chain Gang" and the haunting instrumental of "Wheels on Fire" with Rick's voice floating above the last verse, this album is pure joy. Rick should be very proud of his last and perhaps most beautiful work.

Fine reissue of a classic set.......2006-05-24

Think about the stupidest, most formulaic Hollywood movies you can think of: cheesy action pictures, fluffy, unfunny comedies, big but stiff epics. Now imagine that one of the greatest living composers was working in Hollywood, turning out astonishing, hauntingly beautiful and stirring musical scores for these throwaway movies. That's what you get with this set: music Henry Purcell composed for some two dozen often utterly forgettable plays (trust me--I've read a number of them!) Occasionally, when he teams up with a playwright worthy of his stature, such as John Dryden, Aphra Behn, or William Congreve, the results are even better, but for the most part you can enjoy the music here without knowing anything about the original plays.

This set originally appeared as separate LPs in the 70s and 80s, and has been long out of print. That's a pity, since Purcell spent a good deal of his short professional life in the theatre, either writing the incidental music contained on these CDs, or the music for his larger works, the semi-operas (King Arthur, The Fairy Queen, and the like). Almost all of these works are enjoyable gems; certainly, they represent a pinnacle of English 17th century music. Purcell had a genius for spinning musical gold out of the most leaden lyrics (check out his Odes and Welcome Songs on Hyperion if you don't believe me), and he does the same with the song texts in these plays.

Hogwood and the AAM offer clean, listenable performances, and the sound on these old analog discs has been cleaned up and brightened--although they were pretty good, even in the late 70s. As with most Hogwood, emotional extremes are kept to a minimum, so the "otherworldly" nature of late 17th century music, so often emphasised in more recent Baroque performances, doesn't come across here. It would be interesting to see what a group like The King's Consort would do with this music, but this set fills the major gap in the Purcell canon quite nicely.

My only beef with the reissue, as with many reissues, is that the liner notes are rather thin for a 6-cd set--the lyrics to the songs, for example, are especially missed. Still, it's a worthwhile set, and a must for fans of Purcell, English Baroque music, or anyone who just wants to experience a taste of the last days of the Restoration stage.

A Casualty of Hollywood Musical Politics.......2004-09-16

I bought the CD to get a hold of Cole Porter's intellegent score. After a few songs in, I realized the movie score wasn't written by Cole, but by a string of Hollywood hacks (the most recognizable of the bunch being Finian Rainbow's Burton Lane)! What a ripoff! And Cole Porter's broadway score is currently not available anywhere. What a waste of resources (mine and Rhino's).

Still...if you want to hear the Tommy Dorsey band at their peak, or hear Red Skelton sing, before his TV tramp days, or Gene Kelly in his prime (Lucille Ball's voice, for the most part, was dubbed by another Hollywood hack, Martha Mears) pick this one up. I figure, when the buying public reads about how the movie moguls handled this project--not giving Ethel Merman the role she originated on Broadway, and replacing Cole's score for a bland, glossy, Hollywood hackjob, this CD will soon go out of print. Nice, bright remastering, though.

My two cents.

Sweet Soul Music At It's Finest.......2003-08-03

Times Like These, an outstanding mix of originals and covers, (his 3rd on Severn), is the highly anticipated follow up to his 2001 W.C. Handy Award nominated I Like It That Way, (for Soul / Blues Album Of The Year). With echoes of R&B and Blues greats both dear and departed, the work sounds as if it was lifted from the shelf of the Stax studio library - Sweet Soul Music at its finest! As evidence try to resist singing along to the definitive closer, "Right Here At Home", a cross between Sam Cooke's "Havin' A Party" and "That's Where It's At". It should be put on a tape loop, and just play on..."pull out that Jackie Wilson record..."

THE NEXT YANNI.......2005-12-22

Passionate, heartfelt attainment; this album captures soul and melodic theme and presents music like I have never heard. The album features solo piano and symphonic movements with time signatures that are rarely used in this type of music format. I do not think of new age music when I listen to his music, it's unlike anything I have ever heard.

Awesome music!

David Holt is a consummate performer, master of banjo, guitar, spoons and a wonderful drum suit. This cd shows how much fun music can be. On the cut I Got A Bullfrog he and the band burst into spontaneous laughter twice- when I last saw him he said he left the outtake on to let the audience know what a good time he has performing. The cuts Aint No Bugs On Me and Doodle Daddle Day are light and footstomping good! The whole tape will delight children of all ages.
