Few bands of the 1960s retained as much a sense of the roots of rock and roll as did Creedence Clearwater Revival. Their music is rife with country, rockabilly, and R&B influences, a combination that produced several hit singles--most of which are present on this collection. These include "I Heard It through the Grapevine," "Lodi," "Up Around the B ," "Who'll Stop the Rain," and of course "Bad Moon Rising." This is an excellent greatest-hits collection, and a perfect introduction to the music of a band that has been enduringly influential. --Genevieve Williams

CCR.......2007-06-28

An excellent greatist hits CD, I used a handful of songs to burn a CD with other related style of music.

great stuff.......2007-06-27

listening to this CD makes you realize how great john fogerty was back in the day. great songs, great sound.

Gets me going in the morning.......2007-06-27

I've been listening to this CD for 2 weeks in my car on the way to work.

Soundtrack of an era.......2007-06-15

This is an excellent compilation of CCR's tunes from the late 60s, early 70s. There's a reason why Credence tunes kept popping up in movies and commercials. It's great music and evocative of the era from which it comes. No need for me to review the individual tunes; anybody with a radio has head most of them. A must-have for any music fan.

Fogerty.......2007-06-10

Great value. If you are into the 60s' and 70s' you will love this one.

This is Hank Jr. in his late-'70s/early-'80s version, that brief moment after he'd discovered a sound and persona that wasn't just inherited but before he devolved into a good-old-boy caricature. Not that Bocephus isn't engaging in some posturing here already--the preposterous "Texas Women," for example, could stand unaltered as a Saturday Night Live parody of redneck lechery. More often, though, the 10 hit singles on this disc combine a low-key brand of Southern rock boogie with plenty of twang to fashion a wholly distinctive take on country tradition. Williams's work here is always indelible, and though he likes to drop his daddy's name a bit too often, it's hard to argue with introspective numbers like "All My Rowdy Friends (Have Settled Down)" and "Family Tradition," which each offer a unique and timeless take on the honky-tonk blues. --David Cantwell

As good or better than his father........2007-01-23

This album should be considered a classic for collectors for a long time to come. Well worth the amount paid for it.

Country of today is pure Pop!.......2006-01-28

This is great. Generally, Country Music is weak. Tim McGraw, Brooks and Dunn, Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, and Randy Travis all create simple music for simple people. That is a fact.
But Hank serves up the real deal. Buy this and play it loud. Maybe you can drown out phonys of country. Better yet! Blast it in your F150's, while you run over the Nashville's corporate pretty boys.

Now This Is Real Rebel Country.......2005-02-19

Even though trendy folks like Gretchen Wilson and Big And Rich are abusively gripping to his coattails, you have to remember that Hank, Jr. wasn't always the popular kid on the Nashville schoolbus. It took them years to recognize him as a true performer who stood on his own. Perhaps it was having to deal with the shadow of his father, or just that Nashville didn't want him to be a popular act, Bocephus never received his due until he was well into his career.

Hank, Jr. remedied the problem of being the outcast in Nashville by doing what so many artists can't do: be himself. Sure, he's loud, a little too honest, and just a flat-out hellraiser, but that's what folks like to hear. That's what has staying power.

This disc, which features Bocephus' biggest hits from the late 70's/early 80's, is loaded with enough attitude to shake up even the biggest poser in Nashville. Things open up with "Family Tradition," the song that is a legend unto itself in bars and honky-tonks across the USA. Next we have "Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound," "Women I've Never Had," and seven more instantly recognizable hits. My personal favorites include "Texas Women"(maybe 'cause I married one), and "Dixie On My Mind."

The biggest song on this disc has to be "A Country Boy Can Survive." It's the song that has spawned countless arguments over what would happen if the world fell apart tomorrow. It has empowered the good, bad, and ugly of the rural world. It makes city boys quiver in their metrosexual underpants. In short, it is one of the most popular songs ever put out there. It's influence is still felt today in acts like Montgomery Gentry and even Kid Rock.

In closing, buy this disc if you want real rebel country. Folks who like music by artists like Waylon Jennings will probably like this. Also, youngsters who enjoy Kid Rock need to check this out since without Hank, Kid Rock might have turned out to be another Vanilla Ice.

Give Bocephus his due, he's an integral part of the Country/Southern rock genre.

"Hank, Whyyyy Do You Drink...Whyyyy Do You Roll Smoke?".......2004-04-18

Hank Williams Jr. made me a Country Music fan. He mixes the perfect blend of Southern Rock and Country into his songs, creating music that even folks who dislike country music can learn to love; but make no mistake, it's without question classic Country music, and dang good music at that. This CD is a list of hits from 1979-1981, and if you're new to Hank's music, it's a good place to start getting acquainted with him.

What I love about Hank is that he shamelessly let's you know that he's a country boy and that he's proud of it. He's a real maverick and blazes his own trail instead of following country music trends. Hank does his thing and makes no apologies for it. If for no other reason, I personally would listen to his music for that reason alone.

Some of my favorites on this CD are the incomparable good-time bad-boy songs, "Family Tradition," "Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound," and "Women I've Never Had." If you've never had a good time drinkin' with Hank in the speakers, you're missin' out and need to toss back a few with the music blaring! Then there's one of the proud anthems for country folks all around America, "A Country Boy Can Survive," which is a favorite around my hillbilly-in-laws' house. Then there's the sober, "All My Rowdy Friends (Have Settled Down)," which is still a fun song to listen to even though all his rowdy friends have settled and "rowdy'd on down."

How can anyone not like Bocephus? He's plain spoken and sings his songs like he's just there to have a good time. Hey, anyone who sings a song that proclaims, "He likes happy and don't like sad," is worth listening to in my book; and any guy who sings songs about a ramblin' man, while askin' for a cold one in his hand is my kind of guy.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ALL ROUND.

Thanks for the Memories.......2006-08-21

I bought this CD to replace the cassette that I have worn out. This album is to country as the Beach Boys are to pop/rock. I married a "Redneck Girl" many years ago and the other songs on the disc remind me of my younger days in Mississippi, Arkansas, and other points South.

Bellamy Brothers Greatest Hits, Vol. 1.......2006-06-03

Recently I read an article on one hit wonders of the 1970's, and to my surprise the Bellamy Brothers were listed for their song "Let Your Love Flow" which topped the pop charts in 1976, and is their most recognizable hit. However, the Bellamy Brothers have had many hits on the country music charts, and have received more CMA nominations than any other duo in country music, a category which would include the Judds and Brooks & Dunn. This CD is the first volume of their hits from 1976-1982. Included are "Let Your Love Flow", "If I Said You Had a Beautiful Body", "You Ain't Just Whistlin Dixie", "Lovers Live Longer", and "For All the Wrong Reasons" plus 5 more songs. If you want the Bellamy Brothers' latest hits, you would need to buy volumes 2 & 3 of their greatest hits. This first volume of their greatest hits is highly recommended.

Easy come, easy go country, with sparks of quality........2006-03-16

Well this is very polished country music. There at least two great traditional pop/country hybrid songs here. The rest is a very mixed bag. Track 1 Let your love flow is the flagship on this Cd with it`s very harmonious vocal and perfection in every instrumental departments. Track 2 If i said you have a beautiful body has much of the same quality. When the Bellamy Brothers sings in choir, they just melt into one. That`s great, but sometimes it can be to much polished, but on this one it certainly work for the better. Track 3 You aint just whistlin dixie, is an ok ballad, but nothing more. Booring most of times. Track 4 Sugar Daddy. A room for change . With it`s walk along tempo it kicks ok from start to the end.
Track 5 Dancin` Cowboy is very danceable, but this is to much musical candy sweetness. Track 6 Lovers live longer is much in same territory. Nothing much to add, realy. Track 7 Do you love as good as you look. This is more up tempo, and it works for better. At least some fuzz on the guitars for a change. Track 8 For all the wrong reasons has much of the same qualities as the previous one. At least it`s easy to catch the melody line. It`s anyway too much up`s and down`s alltrough. Track 9 Get into reggae cowboy. Reggae ?. Well the rythm is certainly here and there, but that`s it. The weird one from the Bellamys this one. Track 10 Redneck Girl, is the country rocker & roller hybrid on thIs CD. Ok. Anyway this CD is to much easy come and easy go country to make it a winner. But somewhere here and there it sparks quality.

There is only ONE BOB!!!!.......2007-03-11

There is nothing much to say about Bob Dylan. If Amazon had a 10 star rating. then I would give it some thought! Buy it!

A Good Overview of Bob Dylan's Career.......2007-03-05

Unlike other Bob Dylan compliations, (The single disc The Best Of Bob Dylan and the double disc The Essential Bob Dylan)This is a thorough collection of Dylan's best songs. Blowin In The Wind, The Times They Are A-Changin', Subterranean Homesick Blues, Maggie's Farm, Mr. Tambourine Man, Like A Rolling Stone, Positively Fourth Street, I Want You, Rainy Day Women #12 & 35, All Along The Watchtower, Lay Lady Lay, The Mighty Quinn, Knockin On Heaven's Door, Tangled Up In Blue, and Hurricane are all here. If you are into Dylan and want all of his good songs, get this.

So Many Songs to Choose From, How Did They Ever Decide?.......2006-04-03

I really like Bob Dylan's first Greatest Hits record. I love "Tambourine Man", love the subtle electric guitar. I adore "It Ain't Me Babe," it ain't no stinkin' love song. And neither is "Positively 4th Street." These are bitter and biting songs that grip like glue. "If you were standing in my shoes, you'd know what a drag it is to see you." What a line. Nobody writes them like Bob Dylan. "Rolling Stone", "Rainy Day Woman," and "I Want You," three jumpin' rockers. And then there is "Just Like a Woman," Lord I love that song that shows what a mesmerizing voice Dylan can have when he wants to. And, of course, I can't forget that song that is almost impossible to sing along with, " Subterranean Homesick Blues." Try memorizing the lyrics to that one, try singing them without the record playing. Was Dylan ahead of his time? You betcha.

There is a song on Dylan's second Greatest Hits record "Tomorrow is a Long Time," which is just about one of the best songs I've every heard. It's from a concert that, if all of the performances were delivered this well, then I don't know why they didn't release the whole show. Also I agree that it would have been nice to have a whole record of Bob Dylan and Happy Traum together. It also would have been nice to have a whole record produced by Leon Russell, because as we see with the two songs he produced on this record, "Watching" the River Flow" and "When I Paint My Masterpiece" Mr. Russell knew how to get a good rocker out of Mr. Dylan. Still, even though we don't have the records it would have been nice to have, we have snippets here of what they could have been. Several different styles, all good, but then Bob Dylan is always reinventing himself, but to reinvent himself a couple times on the same record, amazing, simply amazing.

Dylan's third Greatest Hits record is a masterpiece in it's own right. In fact because of the many different styles Dylan uses, it kind of reminds my of a Beatles' record. You know, how the Beatles would switch the lead singer from song to song between John, Paul, George and Ringo. I think because of that Beatles' records never get old. This record is like that. Dylan's voice is so different from song to song, the bands are different. It seems like a record full of surprises, one I know I'll never get tired of and I don't think you'll ever tire of it either.

There is Just Simply No Song Man Better than Bob Dylan.......2006-04-03

"Blowin' in the Wind" one of the three acoustic songs from his too short protest period on this record conjures up images of a young man, wind blowing his hair every which way as he sings this song protesting all wars. The rock numbers are outstanding and the inclusion of "Postively 4th Street" was inspirational, because not only is it a divine song, but it had never been on an LP up until the release of this record. In fact this whole record is kind of inspirational, good early material that will have anybody up and thinking, good electric songs that will make you think as you sing along. Just an all around good record, this is.

Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits II" opens with the up tempo rocker "Watching the River Flow," then slows down some with the acoustic "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right," then jumps into a great Dylan countryesqe love song, "Lay, Lady Lay," then onto "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight" from the "John Wesley Album." It is a testament to how strongly Bob Dylan presents his songs that he can take you from fast to slow, electric to acoustic and grab you instantly into each song. Dylan is a master, no doubt about it. Then again, all Mr. Dylan's songs are all good aren't they? And then there's the new stuff on here that wasn't really a greatest hit, though now that the record has been out for umpteen years, probably nobody knows that, but anyway, that stuff is a good too, no it's great.

"In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors, looking into the lost forgotten years for dignity." What a line, delivered the way only Dylan can deliver them. The years just roll on and he just keeps getting better. Like a shape changer he keeps changing, redefining himself, putting out new stuff, rereleasing his old stuff, putting out his live stuff and I am always amazed. When I first got "Greatest Hits III) (I bought it on cassette), I stuck it into the play in my car, because I couldn't wait to get home. "Tangled Up in Blue" came on and I immediately forgot that I was listening to a Greatest Hits record, was taking right back to the first time I'd heard "Blood on the Tracks" and I stayed right there till "Changing of the Guard" came on, not the song I was expecting, but I was immediately hooked right in. Then right onto "The Groom's Still Waiting at the Alter", a down right rocker with a heck of a Gospel flavor. Next comes "Hurricane" a song with a different band, different flavor and that is the genius of Bob Dylan. He can pull you in any direction he wants you to go and you follow.

This is Just Simply an Excellent Collection.......2006-04-03

"Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits" came out after a long lapse, probably because of Dylan's motorcycle accident. At least that's what I've read. Unlike a lot of hits records, this is a great stand alone record in it's own right and it flows as if all of the songs were meant for this record and this record alone. The three acoustic songs are absolutely three of his best. The record starts out as a rocker with "Rainy Day Woman," where we hear a humorous, seemingly carefree Dylan, but unlike on "Highway 61" here the song segues into just about the greatest protest song every written, "Blowing in the Wind." Two more acoustic songs, good ones, and then were rocking through the rest of the CD, slowing down only for "Mr. Tambourine Man." I love this record and often have the CD playing in my car.

"Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits, Vol. 2" is a very interesting collection. The songs, though are all very good, just don't seem to flow as well (at least for me) as they do on "Greatest Hits, Volume 1." Sticking the acoustic, "Don't Think Twice" between the Rocking "Watching the River Flow" and "Lay, Lady Lay" just someone seems not right. I would have grouped the three early acoustic songs together along with the very excellent "Tomorrow is a Long Time" a live song that until this record came out, had been unreleased. It is such a good song and maybe should have been grouped with its brothers. All that being said, this is a very good collection with some outstanding songs you're just gonna love and even with my problem with the grouping, I still have to give this record five stars.

"Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits, Vol. 3" starts out with the hard driving "Tangled Up in Blue," moves into "Changing of the Guards", the best song, in my opinion, from the underrated "Street Legal" album. "The Groom is Still Waiting at the Alter" was originally released as a single and later turned up in the "Biograph Box", and then the disc dives into "Hurricane" from "Desire." Like the first "Greatest Hits" LP, this CD stands on its own. All of the songs seem to work well together. There are no pre-electric songs, but this stuff is a long time away from that earlier period so, I guess, I shouldn't have been surprised when the CD came out, but I would have liked to see "Girl from the North Country" or maybe "To Ramona." I think, despite the fact that they were recorded earlier, that they would have fit right in with this five star collection. Still, it is a Greatest hits record and those songs were not hits. But then Dylan is famous for sticking stuff on these hits records that his audience has never heard before, like "Dignity" and "Series of Dreams" on this record.

1957 Was a Great Year for Records and for Setting Records!.......2005-05-04

Not only was 1957 a great year for a variety of songs that made number 1, but another record was set that year which has not been duplicated. As most of those who were around at the transition from pop music to rock and roll or have "non-revisionist" knowledge of the era know, it was a common practice for major labels to have one or more of their acts cover promising and breaking songs both in their category and in others. (Not only did the 3 classifications of music at the time, Pop, C&W, and R&B, cover other acts in their class but they covered acts in the other 2 classifications as well.) The various versions of a song competed for air play, sales, and chart ratings. Because chart ratings at that time were done by individual release rather than lumping all versions under one song, it was quite common to have several versions of a song rated in top 30. For example, 6 versions of "Banana Boat Song/Day-O" were in the top 25, 3 of "Unchained Melody" in top 6 (long before the Righteous Brothers recorded it), 7 of "Mack the Knife/Moritat," 5 of "Melody of Love"...you get the picture!

Anyhow, to correct a previous reviewer who stated that Tab Hunter's version of "Young Love" was number 1 while Sonny James' version reached number 2, which has never been duplicated: there are 2 errors in this statement. First, Sonny James' version actually did hit number 1 for one week but was replaced at number 1 by Tab Hunter's version of the same song. After 6 weeks at number 1, Hunter's record was replaced at the top spot by Buddy Knox's "Party Doll," which only stayed there for 1 week. It was replaced at number 1 by Andy Williams' "Butterfly" which in turn was knocked out of the top spot by Charlie Gracie's version of "Butterfly. (Williams' was number 1 for 3 weeks while Gracie's was number 1 for 2 weeks.)

So, the actual record is not having a #1 and a #2 rating of the same song at the same time, which the reviewer said had never been duplicated, but it is having 2 versions of a song that replace each other at number 1. Second error by the reviewer: it WAS duplicated and with only 1 week separating the two songs
"Young Love" and "Butterfly." Now this feat has not been duplicated! Since that time, no other song has had 2 versions to replace the other at the top spot. (Yes, some songs have made the top spot more than once, "The Twist" and "Unchained Melody" for example, but that is a different matter altogether.)

The chart ratings used are Billboard's as listed in Joel Whitburn's book "The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits." This book is an invaluable source of record info and is highly recommended.

As the previous reviewer noted, though, it's doubtful many people will read these reviews.

So Long Ago But It IS History.......2005-02-18

I don't own this compilation but I do own some of the original recordings that, um, my grandfather gave me. "Love Letters in the Sand" may be remembered by many people even though Pat Boone gets scant play on the oldies stations. Included here also are some songs from other venues. Jane Morgan was from another school of music with her "Fascination", the Beatles were not the first charted singers from Liverpool but rather Russ Hamilton, and Big Band leader of the 40s Jimmy Dorsey had a great soulful instrumental with "So Rare". "Young Wild Heart" was a one-hit wonder's song of a different nature in early '57, the Hilltoppers had a lot of charted hits like "Marianne" and appeared on American Bandstand but were not rock, doo woop or R&B. 1957 had not completely surrendered to the emerging music of youth. "Let the Four Winds Blow" by blues shouter Roy Brown was covered (more successfully) by Fats Domino. (Brown wrote "Good Rocking Tonight", a song later covered by Brown fan Elvis Presley--"rocking" was a gerund meaning something else -ahem- in 1946 when Brown wrote it). Ernie Freeman had a hit with "Dumplin's" and later played with B. Bumble and the Stingers (Nutrocker) in the early 60s. Bonnie Guitar sang "Dark Moon" but it was overshadowed by Gale Storm's version. Country singer Marvin Rainwater had the biggest(or only) hit of his career with a memorable "Gonna Find Me A Bluebird". Tab Hunter had a #1 song with "Young Love" while a better singer who would later successfully cover other singers' hits, Sonny James, had the SAME SONG that should have been his alone at #2. (Tab was a teenage idol though). That has never happened since. Country singer Leroy Van Dyke had his first big hit with "Auctioneer". The Del Vikings, the best known of only a handful of integrated groups of that era, scored big with "Come Go With Me", still a classic so many years later. The Five Satins followed their success with "In the Still of the Night" with "To the Aisle". The Rays had their one hit with "Silhouettes" (later covered by Herman's Hermits), a song written by prolific music producer Bob Crewe who later had "Music to Watch Girls By" as a hit of his own. This is a good representation of some veteran musicians/singers and some up-and-comers of different genres who shared the pop charts of the era. All in all, it's worth five stars---if anyone ever visits here to check it out.

Not what I expected.......2007-03-18

Very limited selection of music. Not at all what I wanted or needed. There was nothing to tell what songs were on it, so I bought it without knowing. THAT was MY mistake!

Great Records Of The Decade 70's, Vol. 1.......2006-11-06

If you love the 70's like I do this is the CD for you. It brings the past to life with the hit music of that decade. A fan of the 70's dreams come true.

Great records...NOT but a fine CD.......2006-04-19

OK, I have offbeat tastes in music so I purchased this album as soon as I saw it. I can't believe they called it Great Records because the vast majority of people would not agree. However, I grew up listening to Melody of Love and all of these songs. Also, where else can you find the Mike Curb Congregation? I don't know if the Kelly's Hero's soundtrack is even in print anymore. Anyway, fine CD. Most of it is going on my IPOD.

Suits Me..........2006-02-23

I think the title of the CD is a little misleading but the songs suit me. Songs like Debby Boone's "You Light Up My Life" didn't become huge hits because nobody liked them! Infact, that song is the reason I bought the CD. I admit it, I love the song!

Good CD For The Money!.......2001-11-28

Yep, I bought this CD right here on Amazon, and it is quite good for its low price. I must admit that it is at least somewhat of a guilty pleasure to hear the then-sparrow (and one-hit wonder) Debby Boone singing 1977's biggest hit "You Light Up My Life" and an early '70's Wayne Newton singing the tripey "Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast." However, the reason why I purchased this CD was to have the long version of the great Exile song "Kiss You All Over", which by itself is more than worth its extremely low price.

Jukebox Jewels.......2007-07-07

When my wife and I listened to this it reminded us of youth centers or teen halls of the Sixties. This has several songs to dance to and is very upbeat. I don't often go in for collections like this because we have bought alot of greatest hits from groups of the Sixties. This particular CD had several songs not on the other CDs we have. The other thing I find myself putting together CDs of hits from other albums. This saves me the trouble. The other thing that makes it very special is they are all great songs. To often these CDs have only a few hits and the rest are songs from the period, but they weren't big hits. The sound on this CD was sharp and clear. Better than when we heard it on new 45s or albums back at the time. For those of you that don't know, many sound systems weren't stereo then and the record player or Jukebox needles often were not new so you got pop and hiss playing these then. I certainly don't hear any of that here. I highly recommend this CD.

Album Description

The Grateful Dead's revered and mercurial Jerry Garcia pursued an eclectic array of side projects throughout his life. Many were folk/bluegrass-oriented, but for a brief time a Garcia band incarnation known as Legion Of Mary conjured up an inspired rock and jazz vibe. Featuring Jerry on guitar/vocals, Merl Saunders on keyboards/vocals, John Kahn on bass, Martin Fierro on reeds, and former Elvis drummer Ron Tutt, the quintet played just over 60 now-historic shows from December 1974 through July 1975. Distinguished by hard grooves and that unique Garcia improvisational style, the unit disbanded in the wake of concurrent Dead activities such as the Blues For Allah sessions, but these never-before-released recordings capture their magic.

Customer Reviews:

Disappointing.......2007-03-02

Eh. I had high hopes for this one (having never heard the tapes), with the sax player in the band and the word "jazzy" used in all the hype. It's just OK, and it's not "jazzy" at all--this is basically a blues band. The sax player--instantly recognizable as the honker on the original studio version of Music Never Stopped--pretty much sucks. Why is it that in any rock band with a saxophonist, the sax is the weak link (yes, I include the E St. Band)? He adds nothing of interest, gets in Jerry's way pretty often, is out of tune most of the time, and keeps playing (at whim) through a wah-wah effect that makes him sound like a singing AFLAC duck. Jerry plays pretty well, but he hits a lot of clams on Melody and never really blows me away (as his playing often does). *shrug*

Very impressive.......2007-02-20

Thank you Rhino for putting out these amazing CD's. Since I've branched off in to the non-Dead Jerry area, this is one of the best I've found. I love the combination of guitar/organ/saxophone. It just works. The sound quality of this release is top notch. Listening through a good 2 speaker setup, there is a very distinct separation of instruments, ie, you can focus on just one very easily. This is one of the crispiest live recordings I've ever heard. My only complaint stems from the music itself... it does get a bit repetitive. It starts out with a bang with "tough mama", and for the rest of the first disc, they play at one speed - intense. Maybe my only problem here is track order. There are some slower numbers on the second disc. If you listen closely, they repeat some riffs very often. Very sweet, but in some ways it's a bit one-dimensional.

Very good, but not as good as the Keystone CDs.......2007-01-08

It's great that these old tapes are being put out on CD. The sound quality is very good and the playing is top rate as well. This selection is very good but does not measure up the the Keystone discs with Merl. The music is energetic enough, but the slower tunes and blues songs don't sway and move me. The guitar solos are good, but are not as emotional as fans have come to expect on the Keystone series. I'm being tougher in the comments because there seems to be a tendency among GD and Garcia reviewers to say everyting is the best as long as Jerry's voice isn't cracking and the sound quality is pretty good. With that said. this gets 4 stars based on how it stands alone and not in comparison to other great Garcia discs.

How Sweet It Is.......2006-07-28

Wow! How great to find such a great collection. Just got this CD set and the music is wonderful. I'm a long time Dead and Garcia fan, but I'm not like some that love everything they did just because its them. Jerry's later performances were not what they were earlier in his career. So its exciting to find some "new" music like this with Jerry in his prime. What great jams...what great guitar. The addition of the horns also brings a jazzy element (similar to "Wake of the Flood" songs) that is welcome here. The sound/recording is also top notch. This is a must buy!

Nice to have more.......2005-10-04

Taken from Portland,12/14/74, Berkelely,3/01/75,& 5/22/75,and San Francisco 2/27,7/04,& 7/05/75. With Garcia is Merl Saunders(keyboards,vocals),John Kahn(bass),Ron Tutt(drums),and Martin Fierro (sax, flute)this line up makes what was called The Legion of Mary. There is some great playing,and a a jazzy relaxed feel through out. Quality is excellent but nothing really new, just more and thats just fine,because when you love his music you can always here something just a little better or at least different in these types of releases ,that is new to our ears. I just hope Rino doesn't over saturate us with too much too fast with their Jerry Garcia Collection, this being Vol 1. There has been a lot of releases in the past 7 years, and this is one of the good ones.The shortest number here is just under 8 minutes,most around 11 minutes,lots of bang for you buck.

The best Various Artists compilation disc ever made.......2007-02-15

Compilation discs are a dime a dozen and many are quite good but many more are a waste of time. My review title is not hyperbole. First, all of the artists who appear seem to ratchet up their performances because they are playing for such a terrific cause established by one of contemporary music's most respected stars. Even though the artists all donate their talent to the Bridge School Concerts, one can surmise that getting a call from Neil and Pegi Young to appear is a thrill.
Naturally, all of the performances are excellent since they have been carefully chosen from many shows, but my favorite tracks are the five in a row from Simon and Garfunkel, David Bowie, Pearl Jam, the Love Mongers (the Wilson sisters from Heart), and Nils Lofgren.
Bowie's complete set here has been widely bootlegged and it's easy to see why. Likewise, Vedder's vocal is brilliant, but the Wilson sisters cover of Zeppelin's Battle of Evermore is uncanny.
The fact that all of the performances are unplugged is an added treat since most of these songs are electric in their original incarnations.

Please do yourself and the Bridge School a favor and buy this c.d.

Couldn't be better!.......2004-02-07

This CD brings me to (good) tears every time I hear it! The music is beautiful in its simplicity. These are true legends at their finest. The fact that their hearts are open to this wonderful cause only adds to their talent and the strength of the music.

Buy it!.......2000-06-08

First. It helps if you like acoustic guitar. Second. Even if you don't you won't be able to find any other CD that even comes close to capturing the raw talent of some of today's legends. I can't help thinking that Neil Young tells all of the performers to "keep it simple". Vocals and a guitar work wonders with these kids. Tom Petty's guitar work is astounding, Chrissie Hynde (Pretenders) vocals are pure, Simon & Garfunkel...wow, Pearl Jam...I'm now a fan, listen closely and Neil say's it best..."Elvis (Costello) you're a genius!", the best song in my opinion is Nils Lofgren. It's simply elegant. I came here to write this because I love music and this is the best album I have EVER purchased! Please Neil...MORE! I'll be sending a donation.

a must have.......1999-11-07

after seeing neil young's 1999 bridge school concert, i listened to this CD and immediately felt like sending $1,000 to the bridge school (if only i could afford it!). seriously, this album is the most excellent collection of artists and their songs that i have heard. most collections are unlistenable after the first listening, but this album can be listened to over and over!

This album is great........1999-11-07

Great music. A great cause. You can't lose
