Product Description
Uncle Kracker's first two albums of soulful, funky, down home rock & roll sold over two million copies and spawned hits like "Follow Me," "In A Little While" and "Drift Away." Now, inspired by early Beatles albums and Rod Stewart's classic disc Gasoline Alley, Uncle Kracker fills his highly anticipated new album 72 And Sunny with an acoustic/electric feel reminiscent of early ‘70s rock and country albums, without compromising his signature songwriting style. The album demonstrates Uncle Kracker's growth as an artist, showcasing his knack for writing undeniably catchy melodies that combine elements of country, down-home soul, and juke joint pop.

Customer Reviews:

Fabulous for any Broadway-lover.......2007-01-30

Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.

Top Shelf.......2007-01-04

This is THE definitive collection of Broadway hits. I have other collections, and none of them measure up. A great deal of care was obviously taken in compiling and presenting this box set. It covers a lot of ground, starting with some long-forgotten but still very enjoyable hits from the days of yore, and finishing with present-day favorites. To the best of my knowledge, the recordings are by those who made them famous. You won't be disappointed.

TERRIFIC CD'S.......2006-03-23

THESE BROADWAY MUSICALS CD'S ARE A BROADWAY LOVERS DREAM. WITH EACH SONG, MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK. BOTH THE FAMILIAR AND THE FORGOTTEN SONGS ARE A TRUE LISTENING PLEASURE. IF YOU LIKE BROADWAY, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET.

Great Collection of Broadways greatest Songs .......2005-06-14

This Collection was perfectly made it has almost all the most famous Broadway songs on this 5 cd set. The Music is great and has Broadways greatest treasures like "Memory""People""With One Look""Give my regards Too Broadway" just to name a few of this numerous cd set with over 100 songs. This is a great buy if you like musicals or The music of Broadway

Great Compilation!.......2005-01-17

If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

Love the Raw Sound, Lyrics and Style.......2006-11-03

Yes - this is my kind of music!! Previously, I found this album by searching for the song "Follow Me", and then found the Seventy Two and Sunny album. I loved this album for two reasons. The somewhat raw sound - I get so tired of hearing digitally perfected music - nobody sings perfectly. It reminds of the early Linda Ronstadt, CCR years. The pop/countryesque lyrics and melodies are original and made me want to sing along. Really great music - I hope to hear more from Uncle Kracker!

This One Is A Keeper.......2005-03-06

I love every song on this album.Such a beautiful voice..I am glad he finally realized this and put his talent to music.I have listened to this cd every day for two weeks.You truly get your money's worth with this cd.I have to say "Writing It Down" is my most favorite song on this one.He sings such a beautiful love song.Thank you Uncle for a perfect cd !!

This is one GREAT cd.......2004-10-03

Although I was familar with Kid Rock, I wasn't really that familar with Uncle Kracker. Oh, I'd seen him on the video with Kenny Chesney but as far as his music- I took a chance and bought this cd after reading about it in People magazine. WOW is all I have to say. There is not one bad song on here and how many cd's can you say that about today? Matter of fact I can't remember a release since the Gin Blossom's, "New Misrable Experience" that is consistent all the way through from track to track..and I buy alot of music. I HIGHLY recommend this one.

This is Uncle Kracker's best work yet!!!.......2004-08-17

This album could not have come out at a better time, for me anyways. I read in the liner notes that he was going through a separation from his wife at the time he wrote most of these songs, and then when they got back together, he changed some of the lyrics.

At this point in my life, I am going through a separation, brought on by my husband, and the songs touch my heart and have so much feeling in them, hardly a day goes by when I don't listen to this C.D., and feel the pain. But it helps.

I have all 3 of his C.D.'s and thoroughly enjoy them all!

Who's Your Uncle?.......2004-07-31

In case you didn't know, Uncle Kracker is the DJ in Kid Rock's Twisted Brown Trucker Band. Uncle Kracker has a part-time solo project that he works on from time to time. I recommend that you purchase all three of Uncle Kracker's albums. 'Double Wide, No Stranger To Shame', and 'Seventy Two & Sunny' are all masterpieces. Uncle Kracker's 'Double Wide' album consisted mostly of rap/hip-hop. His 'No Stranger To Shame' album consisted of a little mix of rap/hip-hop, country, bluegrass, etc. 'Seventy Two & Sunny' is pretty much all country, bluegrass, classic rock, etc. But if you're more into Uncle Kracker's rap/hip-hop side, don't worry. He still has it. He's just one of the few musicians out there, along with Kid Rock, who can do a variety of music. Most musicians can only stick to one kind of music, but Uncle Kracker if one of those specially gifted musicians out there. Buying all three of his albums will be worth your money for sure. His singles such as 'Follow Me, What 'Chu Lookin' At?', and 'Yeah, Yeah, Yeah' are on the 'Double Wide' album. His singles such as 'In A Little While' and 'Drift Away' are on the 'No Stranger To Shame' album. His single 'Rescue' is on the 'Seventy Two & Sunny' album. I just thought I'd let you know that. Maybe it would help you increase your chances of purchasing his albums. I hope this review helped.

Album Description

Second album from young Dublin indie-rock trio, following 2000's eponymous-titled debut. Showcasing a new depth of emotional maturity and a much-broadened sonic palette, this record deals with big themes and is epic in scope. Recorded in Dublin and London with the band's 'Dream Team' of Flood and Alan Moulder (U2, Smashing Pumpkins, Depeche Mode), it includes the single 'Formulae'. Sony. 2002.

Album Details

Their Self Titled 2000 Debut CD Went to #3 on the UK Album Chart. This is the Irish Trio's Second Full Length Release. Produced by Flood and Mixed by Alan Moulder (U2 , Smashing Pumpkins, Depeche Mode). The 22 Year Old Songwriter Mark Greaney's Soaring Unique Vocal Sound was Brilliantly Captured by this Production "Dream Team". Says Greaney: "What Makes Flood a Great Producer is that He Listens Not Only to What You're Playing, but also to What You Are Talking About". The Many Internet Fan Sites Attest to the Band's Growing Worldwide Popularity. Greaney is a Huge Fan of Joy Division and A-ha, You Can Hear their Influence in his Songwriting and Singing.

Credit where credit is due.......2004-05-01

Don't let the critics scare you away from this release. JJ72 follows in the footsteps on their first release and created a solid, consistent and perhaps a better album than their first. Formulae is the spectacular highlight of the album but there are several others. Unlike another reviewer I actually like the lead singers voice and I find the production quite good. The bottom line is that if you liked their first disc you will like their second, it hasn't left my CD player since I bought it.

Good Songs; Irritating Vocals.......2002-11-20

This Irish trio ups the tempos on their second release, I to Sky, and the new speed makes their hyper-emotional juvenilia signify more deeply than on their debut. Problem is, Mark Greaney has also upped the vocal register. His shrieking tenor now sounds like Chipmunks on acid. The songs themselves are stellar, especially the rollicking "Formulae" and the incendiary "I Saw a Prayer". So I won't blame the material on the low repeat potential of I to Sky - just the producers, Flood and Alan Moulder, neither of whom have ever met a filter or an echo machine they didn't like. And who certainly urged Greaney to scream like Jimmy Somerville on rock night at the gay bar.

Frankly....disappointing.......2002-10-30

JJ72's eponymous debut was a solid effort, but suffered from an unhealthy degree of same-y-ness, boasting several amazing tracks but also several totally forgettable ones. On I To Sky we were promised a more stripped down, dark sound. And true, the strings are missing, but listening to I To Sky, this is clearly the same band recording as on JJ72. Where JJ72 was littered with references to Placebo and Everything Must Go-era Manics, I To Sky is full of nods to the Smashing Pumpkins - from the softest to the loudest songs, the influence is present.

Yet, like Muse and Coldplay, JJ72 are a band that, regardless of what influences they take on board, will always sound very similar. This is partly due to Mark Greaney's voice - in turns playful and sweet, then melodramatic, raw, cracked and howling. On I To Sky it sounds even higher - and the suspicion on first single Formulae is that it may have been digitally altered to sound so in the verse. Nevertheless, it's very good, despite being the closest thing here to the first album - sticking to the traditional JJ72 format of lovely, somewhat twee verse and big, melodramatic chorus.

Elsewhere we see more variation but little improvement. 7th Wave builds throughout the song to its climax but ultimately leaves little impression, and opener Nameless is a slight, stripped-down piano ballad that seems more an overture or prequel to I To Sky than the opening manifesto that October Swimmer was to JJ72. Similarly, Oiche Mhaith is a nice, beautiful closer, but not even a closing call of `love, love, love, love' can turn it into a match for JJ72's magnificent finale Bumble Bee.

The darker, heavier edge promised is only really present on one track - Serpent Sky - which starts with a 100% Placebo riff, threatens to be entirely forgettable, but soon builds right up into a quasi-metallic opus that, unlike every song on JJ72, never moves back into quietness at any point. This is such a triumph that it ends up being the album's best track. But unfortunately, despite several likable efforts, there is nothing on I To Sky to match the ragged, elegaic, tortured beauty of October Swimmer, Oxygen, Snow or Algeria. Instead, where JJ72 was half-brilliant half-forgettable, I To Sky is entirely good but never great, with the possible exception of Formulae and Serpent Sky. Consequently, JJ72 will have to wait until their third album to perfect their formula (no pun intended). 3 stars.
