I would have like to have more of their cuts on here, but it was very good anyhow.

5 out of 5 stars GREAT COLLECTION BY THE INTRUDERS, BUT...........2006-12-18

THIS IS A GREAT COLLECTION BY ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED SOUL GROUPS OF ALL TIME . I LOVE THE INTRUDERS: THE LATE , GREAT SAM "LITTLE SONNY" BROWN , EUGENE "BIRD " DAUGHTRY (ALSO , SADLY, NO LONGER WITH US) SONGWRITER PHILLIP "PHIL" TERRY,AND ROBERT "BIG SONNY" EDWARDS.THEIR RECORDS WERE ALL FANTASTIC , AND THEY HAD A SOUND QUITE UNLIKE ANY OTHER GROUP, BUT.....LET'S BE HISTORICALLY ACCURATE HERE . THE SONG " I'M GIRL SCOUTIN" WAS N O T THE ONLY INTRUDERS SONG NOT TO FEATURE "LITTLE SONNY" BROWN ON LEAD. ROBERT FERGUSON , BETTER KNOWN AS "BOBBY STARR" DID REPLACE "LITTLE SONNY" AS LEAD SINGER OF THE GROUP FOR A TIME ,{AND LEADS A NEW GROUP OF INTRUDERS TODAY), BUT, IN ADDITION TO SINGING ON THEIR HIT " I'M GIRL SCOUTIN", HE ALSO LEAD ON THE HITS, "I BET HE DON'T LOVE YOU (LIKE I LOVE YOU)", "THIS IS MY LOVE SONG",AND "PRAY FOR ME". TO THIS DATE, NOT A SINGLE INTRUDERS "GREATEST HITS" COLLECTION (ON CD OR VINYL) HAS INCLUDED ANY OF THESE BOBBY STARR- LED SONGS... NOR HAVE THEY INCLUDED THE "LITTLE SONNY"-LED EARLIER HIT "DEVIL WITH AN ANGELS SMILE" FROM THEIR NOW CLASSIC COLLECTORS ITEM 1ST ALBUM " THE INTRUDERS ARE TOGETHER " {WHICH ALSO, BY THE WAY,STILL HAS YET TO SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY ON CD.}UNTIL THESE SONGS ARE INCLUDED , THERE WILL NEVER BE A DEFINITIVE INTRUDERS "GREATEST HITS" COLLECTION...SO HOW ABOUT ABOUT IT, GAMBLE AND HUFF ?

WoW! Awesome. There's is nothing to compare to this. This is classic old school. I love it!

5 out of 5 stars Yes, The Album is as Great as Others are Saying.......2006-01-02

I know I'm not Original here, as the Previous 13 Reviews have awarded the Same 5 Stars to this Release, but I feel the need to Echo the sentiment. The Intruders, led by the Unmistakable Hurting/Cracking, Passionate Voice of Little Sonny Brown, are Grossly Underappreciated, These Songs stand among the Greatest in Soul History, Gems like "Together", "I Wanna Know Your Name", "Love is Like a Baseball Game", "United", and on and on....and the Long Version of "I'll always love My Mama", where Pt. 2 of the song (the second half, if you will, as listed on My Original 45 Copy I bought in 1973) has the Intruders Rapping, Playing the "Dozens", quite interesting to hear still; An Absolute MUST for Your Music Library...I am Pleased to have seen the Intruders Perform at Constitution Hall in D.C. in 1993, reunited with Little Sonny after Many Years away...The Pain in His Voice One Hears in many of these Songs was Real, Little Sonny Jumped from a Bridge near Philadelphia to His Death in 1995......RIP

Often called the Frank Zappa of country music, Kinky Friedman--like Jimmy Buffett--knows how to poke fun at Nashville and pay homage to it at the same time. This first ever best-of collection oddly omits his "Wild Man from Borneo" and "Rapid City, South Dakota," but still captures the most outrageous of his social commentary (racism, classism, anti-Semitism), as well as his more serious songs ("Sold American," "Ride 'Em, Jewboy") about outcasts sad and solitary. Nothing is too gross (the mucus-lined ode to booger-picking, "Ol' Ben Lucas") or off-limits (the invitation to oral sex--"eatin' ain't cheatin'!"--in "Waitret, Please Waitret"). But no matter if one is offended by such references--or those to bestiality and "wetbacks" in "Asshole from El Paso," the hilarious parody of "Okie from Muskogee"--Friedman's importance in the pantheon cannot be denied. As his horrifying, if jaunty, treatment of the University of Texas sniper ("The Ballad of Charles Whitman") proves, he's a Lone Star throw-back to Lenny Bruce--a serious sociopolitical comic who turns a clear mirror on America, warts and all. --Alanna Nash

Album Description

With his signature cigar always in hand, Kinky Friedman uses country music as a platform to inform, amuse and outrage his audience. Starting in the early Â'70s, Kinky and his band, The Texas Jewboys, broke out of the stifling, often prejudiced, Nashville mold. Last Of The Jewish Cowboys: The Best Of Kinky Friedman, a mixture of live and studio recordings, includes many of his controversial hits, such as Â"Asshole From El Paso,Â" Â"Sold AmericanÂ" and Â"They AinÂ't MakinÂ' Jews Like Jesus Anymore.Â"

Never one for censoring himself, Kinky raised eyebrows with Â"Get Your Biscuits In The Oven And Your Buns In The Bed,Â" Â"Before All Hell Breaks Loose,Â" (off the pop album charting release Kinky Friedman) Â"Waitret, Please, WaitretÂ" (to be said with a lisp) and Â"The Take-It-Easy Trailer Park.

5 out of 5 stars Majewstic!!.......2007-01-10

A great collection from a multitalented singer, composer, writer and politician. Kinky for President!!!

4 out of 5 stars Interesting, Funny, and Worth It.......2006-12-04

Back in the 1970's I used to go see Kinky Friedman and his Texas Jewboys at the Lone Star Café in New York City. He was a pretty entertaining performer. Let's face it, Kinky Friedman can't really sing for beans, but he is one hell of an interesting, funny, and politically interesting songwriter (he was also recently seriously in the race for the governorship of Texas) and there is something appealing about his voice.

Kinky's songs are much like the film Borat (come to think of it Kinky looks a little like Sascha Baron Cohen): you're not always quite sure what he intends, and the lyrics can be pretty offensive, but, they are also funny as hell. Examples: "Waitret [waitress] please waitret come sit on my fate." Or The Ballad of Charles Whitman, a comedy song about Charles Joseph Whitman, the Texas Tower Sniper who in 1966 killed 15 people and wounded 31 "all the while he smiled so sweetly then he blew them out completely...he was settin' up there with his 36 magnum, laughing wildly as he bagged `em." Then again, there is also Sold American, which is about...well, I'm not quite sure what it's about, but it is actually a lovely song.

If you don't know Kinky and his work, then this is a great place to start, and if you do, then this fairly complete collection will bring back a lot of (hopefully good) memories from the 70s.

5 out of 5 stars Doesn't get any Kinkier than this!.......2006-09-13

Kinky Friedman is a Lone Star treasure. Heck, make that a national treasure. For decades he's written and recorded alternately touching and hilarious country songs that marry traditional country musical values with a uniquely skewed lyrical vision. Lots of country singers claim to be rugged individualists, but Kinky is one singer-songwriter who truly stands apart from the pack.

If you're a long-term fan--and your're in good company, with fans like Willie Nelson, Dwight Yoakam, and Lyle Lovett having covered his songs--you'll find that this collection will bring back a lot of great memories--and laughs.

If you're new to Kinky, this CD is the best entree to his very special world.

5 out of 5 stars a great surf rock starter.......2007-06-11

If you are to buy only one compilation of early surf rock, this is it. Essential. Use it to soundtrack your low budget horror movie!

4 out of 5 stars Another Trip To Meeksville.......2007-05-08

This compilation covers Joe Meek's productions involving instrumental groups and pieces. And you get a stereo mix of the classic "Telstar" to boot plus other unreleased sides. Of course anything involving Joe Meek can involve anything from great to completely horrible but this set is mostly decent throughout with just a few clunkers I choose not name, you have to decide that for yourself. Also included are thorough liner notes with information about the tracks and the groups. So if you a fan of the Shadows you will definitely like this.

5 out of 5 stars A Great Album.......2007-03-10

This is the second solo album by Pete Townshend of The WHO. It features great songs like The Sea Refuses No River, Face Dances Pt. 2, Stardom In Acton, and Slit Skirts. It also has three bonus tracks, Vivienne, Man Watching, and Dance It Away. If you are a Townshend/WHO fan, BUY IT!

4 out of 5 stars The Complete Pete louder than last time but not necessarily better than previous versions.......2007-01-14

First up audiophiles beware this album is louder than previous editions making the sound of the album a bit different. Also remastering engineer Jon Astley has remastered compressing it more than previous editions.

Should yo upgrade? Well the bonus tracks certainly make this worthwhile although it is missing stuff I would have liked to see included. The hits from the album included "Face Dances" (which had an amusing MTV video)and Pete's observations about growing older in the marvelous "Slit Skirts" (another MTV video which had an extended harmonica solo which curiously is missing as a bonus track here). We now have them supplemented by the rocking "Vivienne" which was a contender for the album. "Man Watching" sounds like a glorified demo but is compelling. "Dance It Away" has a nice rocking groove.

Unlike the remaster of "Who Came First" there aren't any notes discussing the production, inspiration or reception of the album when it was released. We do get the original lyrics for all 12 of the original album tracks (and credits) but none for the bonus tracks. Compared to "Face Dances" Townshend's "ATBCHCE" is the better release with sharper songs overall and sterling production from Chris Thomas.

Overall the sound is good but it could have been great if this had received a "flat" (i.e., no compression)transfer but sounds good enough to listen to in your car stereo.

5 out of 5 stars All The Best Rock Stars Have Psychological Scars.......2007-01-06

Just beneath the surface of a deeply troubled rock musician churns the uneasy mind of a tortured soul. Send them off into a rock and roll laboratory, listen for the small explosions and out they emerge with their edgy experiments and a fully exposed psychosis in tow. Put the headphones on and watch how Pete Townshend not only flies over the cuckoo's nest, but transcends its farthest boundaries on the wings of a fallen angel.

"Stop Hurting People" blows all Who-like conventions out the window with its spoken poem verses and sweetly sung choruses, taking aim at anything that moves and embracing it in a bear-like hug. "The Sea Refuses No River" drains its emotions through the sewer's of a junkies soul, looking for redemption in the currents that might one day wash us all clean. "Face Dances pt. 2" is an amusing aside of twisted rock and roll, dressed up like a single in silly clothes, and somehow it all works beautifully. "Exquisitely Bored" is a blues based rocker with Jamaican dreadlocks, smoking guitar licks like reefers in the rafters of an abandoned concert hall that has been temporarily turned into a shelter for the mentally homeless, while "Communication" stutters it's way through a new generation of hopeless romantics locked away in their Tommy-like isolation booths with one glove, a jar full of Vaseline, and a monkey named Bubbles. "Stardom in Action" looks at life through the other side of the fish-eyed lens, splattered with the mud of fame and fortune. "Uniforms" is dressed to the nines and fives, the slackers, the straights, stoners, and loners and all points in between, regimented to a strict beat of uniform notes. Click your boots to that beat and dance on the edge of conformity. "North Country Girl" is romantic posing and posturing like a peacock in a jeans commercial, while "Somebody Saved Me" is as sentimentally sweet as an unlit gas oven. "Slit Skirts" is a pre-viagra mood of impotence as seen through the looking glass of yesterday's youthful exuberance. Yeah, that's a hit single.

The bonus tracks now available on this remastered edition from 2006 are Vivienne, Man Watching, and Dance it Away. They're all good Townshend tunes, and whether or not they sound quite as left field as the rest of the record doesn't really distract from the fact that I would rather have them here than not have them at all. "All The Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes" is a treasure chest of fortune cookies just waiting to be read and analyzed. After every song I sip my hot green tea and think to myself, "Sore wa sugoi na!"

          5 out of 5 stars Killer Pete.......2006-11-15

          A fantastic album. Townshend poetry is less angry and even more contemplative here than most Who efforts. For anyone interested in Pete Townshend solo, you need to start here and move on to Empty Glass and White City. If only he would stop trying to create another mega-concept and just write songs like the ones on these CDs, we would all be better off.

          5 out of 5 stars Favorite Pete album by far!.......2006-07-07

          I recieved this album from Christmas from the hint of my friend. She said that it was her favorite album by Pete. I listended to it and I loved it from that moment.

          I love it because it shows Pete's true creative genius. I believe it shows his voice in full power, especially on 'The Sea Refuses No River'.

          I do believe that his album far supresses 'Empty Glass'. I say if you want to get into Pete, start with this album.

          5 out of 5 stars Poetry & Production Meet.......2006-02-08

          First, the basics: This is an excellent CD. The writing is primarily excellent, occasionally inspired, and w/ just a few 'wince' moments that let you see the Man Behind the Curtain. Then there's the music w/ all of Mr. Townshend's trademarks: melodies with intelligent hooks that propel the song, not make the song subservient to the hook; world-class musicianship, powerful choruses, AND that thing fans have come to expect (poor Pete) -- Mr. Townshend's ability to consistently provide us with a hand-full of turns-of-phrase that so perfectly match their musical settings they become a permanent part of us. And then there's the production values. Superb! Awesome! Richly Satisfying!
          Secondly, reading the other reviews of All The Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes, I'm struck by the criticisms of "overproduction," "pretentiousness," etc. Those reviewers probably weren't there in the 70's when the Rock-Zeitgeist became ripe w/ the desire to, 'have it all:' to have authentic rock 'n roll, WITH grown-up lyrics/subject matter AND WITH top-quality production values. A little poetry added to the mix would be nice, too.  When All The Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes hit the racks, we had a whole record that fullfilled that Zeitgeist. But even more to the point, if you want more from your Rock than escapism, if you've ever had that sublime experience of enjoying good music WHILE feeling you were taking part in the greater-conversation going on in our culture -- YOU NEED THIS RECORDING.

          5 out of 5 stars Crazy.......2006-01-23

          Pete went off the deep end with this album; was he still a heroin addict at this point in his life? I wouldn't be surprised if he still was. He embraces synths here more strictly than he ever had, or ever would again. It almost seems that everything here is synthesized. And why does Pete often just talk on songs? Why doesn't he sing? And why does everything seem so overwrought and over emotional and well... over everything? The lyrics are poetry, and the musical structures are the most ambitious of his career since Quadrophenia. He goes overboard with everything constantly. It's Pete's mad album, and it's an absolute joy to listen to. Where as Empty Glass was just a great album because of the songs, this album is an experience; the songs often have little in the way of melodies. But Pete harnasses his synths and his imagination in a way he never does again. He goes mad, and creates one of the most ambitious, over the top, intersting, boring, crazy, fun albums of all time, and at least one all time classic "slit skirts" which is beautiful. Buy it and enjoy (the review highly influenced by the albums effect on sanity.)

          5 out of 5 stars Townshend ditches fashion, creates timeless gem.......2005-08-01

          After releasing his very contemporary, timely sounding, and also quite brilliant Empty Glass album (hell, even the NME didn't hate that one) during a period of debauchery that nearly killed him, Townshed cleaned up, went completely outside the realm of fashion, and poured out this cathartic album, which has some of his strongest, most emotional music and most perceptive lyrics ever (e.g., his shot at skinhead fashion: "On my parka is some band I don't rally understand", from "Uniforms"). Hell, this album has some of the most emotional and perceptive music anybody has created on one album.

          The highlights for me are the majestic "The Sea Refuses No River," and the harrowing, yet strangely witty "Somebody Saved Me." But almost every song here is noteworthy, and some still sound quite distinctive. One could say it's overblown and overdone, but I like it that way. Anything less would have been cheating us of his best.

          If you like intelligent, emotional music, give this one a spin: you might just be blown away.
