Following a tide of critical acclaim and numerous appearances on every other chill-out compilation since records began, Groove Armada's Goodbye Country (Hello Nightclub) has an awful lot to live up to. Vertigo, released in February 2000, was a phenomenal success, critically and commercially, spawning hits like "If Everybody Looked the Same" and the sun-drenched "At the River." Having found their niche in downbeat, Groove Armada explore the style even further on Country. The opening track, "Suntoucher," is a slow-burning dub plate, featuring Jeru The Damaja, which breaks out a supercool horn riff midway through. It's a fantastic start to the album, but it does begin to feel a little long as the song unspools. Even the slightly more uptempo numbers, like first single "Superstylin'" and "Fogma," don't rush into anything, building slowly before the bass hook and drums kick in with a lukewarm impact. Goodbye Country is another musical triumph for Groove Armada, with every track as good as the one before. Still, it's a shame they veer so strongly in a downbeat direction, as they mostly leave behind the quirky house style that helped distinguish their earlier work. --David Trueman
From URB Magazine
If there's one thing to love about Groove Armada's latest offering, it's that we can finally - and happily - move past the overused "Shakin' That Ass" references. It may not be a strong case for picking up the album, but it may be the best excuse. After all, it's hard for any band with the hype Groove Armada garnered with Vertigo to answer back with an equally satiating follow-up. Goodbye Country (Hello Nightclub) (not an exception, by the way) more than else proves that despite the possibility for creative ingenuity, recording in a vacuum doesn't always work (the Brit duo holed themselves up for nine months in the studio for this album). You risk compiling a cafeteria plate of items, which this is.
For example, "Suntoucher" is an ineffectual hip-hop tune that falls flat. "Fogma" has a body-bouncing groove that we've heard too many times before and is at least a minute too long. "Join Hands" is a buttery kiss tainted with bad breath in the form of boring vocals underlined by easy drums. But when there are moments, they strike and wittingly pull bodies off seats. The rubbery "Superstylin'" is the "I See You Baby" of the album, with its thunderous, gritty bass nets and surprise video-game ending. Soul man Richie Havens saves "Little By Little" with his husky vocals. Side dishes include the self-reflective, solemn "Lazy Moon" and "Edge Hill" (both of which could have come from collabos with Air) and "Drifted," an open-space, Beach Boys-on-downtempo sunny seaside number. It's desserts like these that make a mediocre album worth the trip back, if you're still hungry, that is.

Amazon.com essential recording
Over the course of her first albums, including her fourth, 1992's Every Time You Say Goodbye, Alison Krauss probably did more than any of her contemporaries to attract mainstream-country attention to bluegrass. A traditionalist might say this is because Krauss and her band, Union Station, offer a kind of "bluegrass-lite" that's cut with pop sensibility, absent any manic-fast picking, and awash in Krauss's goes-down-easy vocal. Nonetheless, this is a solid album that pushed Krauss deservedly further into the limelight. Highlights include the title track, Union Station banjo picker Ron Block's fine gospel number "Shield of Faith," and the traditional instrumental "Cluck Old Hen." --Anders Smith-Lindall

An amazing bunch of talent.......2007-05-17
It's a fantastic CD. They are fantastic. Their close harmony and high sounds - mind boggling. Some of the best music in the world. (Please see my comment on Mark Fowler's above review.)
Alison and an earlier version of Union Station sound great.......2004-07-15
Dan Tyminski later replaced Tim Stafford on guitar and after mandolin Wiz Adam Steffey left AKUS Dobro Deity Jerry Douglas joined the band.
Ron Block on banjo and guitar and Barry Bales on bass have been with Alison for years, and this version of Union Station sounds comparably polished and talented. I'm going to guess if you're reading this that you have at least a nodding acquaintance with Alison's one-in-a-million voice and the fact that while her bands are built to complement that voice - she also doesn't hog the spotlight.
On this CD standout cuts include "New Fool", "Who Can Blame You", "Heartstrings" along with the Gospel "Jesus, Help me to Stand" and the title cut.
Several of the tracks feature other Union Station members on lead vocals and although they vary from "good" to "not bad" - they suffer from today's perspective in that no one else in Union Station has a voice like Alison's, and no one else in *this* version of the band has a voice like Dan Tyminski.
Still - absolutely required for Alison Krauss fans.
Excellent CD.......2003-08-21
I am a newcomer to Bluegrass - bought the O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack and got hooked on it. I was intrigued by the Krauss songs on that album and came to Amazon looking for more. The reviews told me to buy this album, so I did. And I am quite pleased with the purchase.
It is incredible to listen to such skill on the banjo, especially after hearing so much modern guitar strumming. That combined with Krauss' hypnotic voice make the album great. My only problem with the album was that Krauss didn't sing EVERY song!
Pure but fairly mellow bluegrass.......2003-07-12
Alison Krauss has done much to popularise bluegrass in recent years. Her early recordings were pure bluegrass - this (from 1992) was the last album of that phase of her career. Her more recent albums have included other influences but I enjoy those too, in a different way.
On this album, Alison and her band, Union Station, work their way through a selection of songs that are generally not well known despite several of them being cover versions. Many of these are old bluegrass songs, but they also include I don't know why (Shawn Colvin) and Lose again (Karla Bonoff). There are also some original songs here including two by Sidney Cox (of the Cox family).
At the time, Union Station was made up of Tim Stafford (guitar), Ron Block (banjo - he also wrote three of the songs here), Adam Steffey (mandolin) and Barry Bales (bass). Alison played the fiddle as well as doing most of the singing. The four men could all sing and each of them can be heard on this album, providing harmony or duet vocals, but Alison is the real star.
If you are unfamiliar with Alison's early music, I recommend that you buy Now that I've found you - A collection, which I've already reviewed. That includes one track from each of her early albums, plus tracks not available on any of her other albums so far. If you have that collection and you are looking for more of Alison's early music, you will enjoy this.
New Grass Blue Grass Good Grass.......2003-05-13
Bluegrass is cool again. Wait, when was it cool in the first place? I'm sure there was a time when everyone in town would gather together at the barn hoedown and Ma and Pa would take a spin on the dance floor. Well, this one by Alison Krauss and Union Station puts you there. It's a mix between traditional and an edge-off twang of new grass softness. It's the work that really heralded in Alison Krauss and her crew and dare I say laid a precursor for the popular runaway success of "O Brother Where Art Thou?" soundtrack and to a lesser extent the Dixie Chicks.
This music reaches me quite pure. There is something about an artist earlier works that comes across more raw, true, fervent, pure and "Every Time You Say Goodbye" comes across in places as all of these. Though Krauss carries the band's main moniker, it's Union Station that has the talent that stands out here. Ron Block, Tim Stafford, Barry Bales, and Adam Steffey trade off adding to the harmonies and take the lead in a few songs. Those songs stand-out to me. To my taste, Krauss' voice is a little too soft, a little too sweet to catch the down home spirit of bluegrass. She can play one heck of a fiddle, but let the boys sing for the most part.
Stand out songs are, "Another Night," "It won't work this Time," and "Another Day Another Dollar." O Brother, don't forget the standard "Cluck Old Hen," providing a fitting vehicle to showcase the talent of these talented bluegrassers. Heck, any one of these songs will have you jumping up from the kitchen table, grabbing the molasses jug and beating on or blowing on it, skipping around like a old cluck fool and sliding and kicking those boots across the hay-strewn floor. Yeeehah!!

Killer packs raw tenderness into these. .......2006-12-31
The Killer is My Man. Jerry Lee was a rocker when I was in highschool. When I got older I moved into classical music and opera. In the last decade I have been listening to country as well. And that's where I rediscovered the Killer. He is the Best. When he sings country standards he makes them his own, making me forget who first made the song famous. On this CD Jerry Lee puts his own stamp on two famous Merele Haggard standards, done differently but as well as Hag. Jerry Lee sings with open human abandon, which makes him so easy to love, his songs so easy to relate to. He is also a genius. When I was a girl he was thought to be too naughty, but my life experience has shown that we are on the same field, no one better than another. However, musically speaking, Jerry Lee is the Best. Listen to him and stomp and weep.
Killer Country.......2004-11-28
In the late 1960s Jerry Lee Lewis moved back to the music he grew up with--country music. This disc brings together 2 of his very best country albums for Smash/Mercury plus few cuts from a third. The music is fine late 1960s honky tonk style, with excellent readings of some Merle Haggard, Webb Pierce, and Jimmie Rodgers songs. Some of Lewis' finest country titles are here, including "Another Time, Another Place." I especially enjoy his performance with Linda Gail Lewis on "We Live In Two Different Worlds," simply one of the best songs Fred Rose ever wrote. Of course some rockabilly rowdiness slips in, it would not be the Killer without it. Essential country music for the true country fan.
A Great Cd.......2004-04-28
It's Sad that "The Killer" is always over looked, but this cd makes his statement of "Elvis may be the greatest, but I'm the best." true. "There stands the glass," and "Waiting for a train." Is enough reason to buy this cd alone. The problem of why he is often overlooked may have to do with the amount of poor quality bootleg cds that bares his name. Unlike Elvis who's estate clamped down on the bootleg and poor quaility music, Jerry Lee Lewis's bootlegs are all over the place and his great studio work is hard to find. This is impart do to the many different labels that he has been signed to. I hope at some point he will get control of his music catalog and re-release his great studio work from the sun records era and those of his country recordings era, but until that happens this cd is a great place to start.
Some of his best work, and thus among THE BEST.......2003-06-06
These recordings are among the most commercially successful country records ever done. Moreover, they are among the most artistically successful recordings done by anyone doing straight bar brand country music. JLL just kills these songs, he makes them all personal, he makes them all live, and makes you believe he has lived them.
Contrary to what some others say, JLL has been doing his own interpretations of the country classics since his original sun records the 1950s. His version of Crazy Arms (from 56 or 57 I believe) redefined the song. his version of You Win Again did something rare. He took a song away from Hank Williams. Today if you played or sang Hanks version of the song anywhere, it wouldnt be recognized, and wouldn't be as good as the standard way JLL does it. He did all kinds of country standards during the late 50s and early 1960s when Sun had him doing hundreds of recordings to be salted away until he made a come back.
JLL's work in the 1960s before these country recordings was not "in the wilderness." Some of the rock albums he did for Mercury Smah and Mercury represent some of the best rock and rockabilly recordings ever made, more mature musically, but wilder than things he did in the 1950. Get the two live recordings, one from Panther Hall in Houston, the other from Birmingham if you want to see the light.
It is interesting that these country side are a triumph of JLL as a singer. he barely plays the piano on some selections, on the last selections he plays no piano at all, but these are all classics. Anyone around anywhere where any music was coming off a radio or a juke box anywhere during the late 1960s and eary 1970s heard these songs.
This is among Jerry's best. That means it is among the world's greatest.
Dont forget JLL is still rocking his life away at 66 years old he is still pounding that piano!
killer country.......2003-06-01
Jerry Lee finally made it to Finland 10 years ago. And the audience loved him. Not so much for his old rockers (his age started to show on those numbers) but for the real country tunes that he suddenly started to play. The audience in the huge Hartwall arena listened in awe: this was a man who had walked through hell and made a mess out of his personal life in the early 60's, then made a comeback and in the early 90's could still sing about heartbreak and being on the dole like nobody else on this planet. A stunning and captivating performance! And this album, this 2fer is just great, it has some of those songs he sang that night,like "What made Milwaukee famous" (we Finns love that one!)and the ironic "She even wake me up...". They say Jerry Lee was a bad boy. Maybe so, but he sure gave us some great music!

Hellooooo, Groove Armada.......2007-03-30
Long after proving themselves to be maestros of analogue-driven club-roots pyrotechnics with the quaking "I See You Baby" and the lackadasical "At The River," Groove Armada put out "Goodbye Country," proving that their versatility has no limits. This album proves that the definitions of "house" or "groove" or "chill" or "dance" are only as constricted as the artist who aspires to them.
Findlay and Cato partner with a classy conglomeration of collaborators (Celetia Martin, Jeru the Damaja, Richie Havens, et. al.) to form an album of music that is at times excruciatingly sweet ("My Friend"), at times deep and deliberate ("Fogma"), and sometimes just plain air-slappingly ecstatic (you must've heard "Superstylin'" by now).
Whether they're weaving herbal folk rhythms into something sunny and gorgeous ("Little by Little") or pumping out minimalist hip-hop sewn tightly to exquisitely looped musical murals ("Raisin' the Stakes" and "Suntoucher"), they're redefining the meaning of Good Music. Their sound here is lankier and lazier than in album's past, but it is certainly just as wonderful as ever.
Not many highlights, but still a nice album to groove to (har har).......2006-01-01
Groove Armada isn't a great group, but they do manage to deliver some quality tunes every now and then. I don't think "Goodbye Country (Hello Nightclub)"'s best tunes are as good as "Vertigo"'s, but they're still really good (and it's nice to hear a cameo appearance by Jeru The Damaja in "Suntoucher". Also, "Suntoucher" and "My Friend", especially, sound like they could be hits). However, some of the songs do sound a bit cheesy, and overall the album is pretty uneven. If you're a fan of Groove Armada or if you're looking for some groovy tunes, though, you should be at least satisfied with "Goodbye Country (Hello Nightclub)" (get "Vertigo" too!). Slightly recommended.
Highlights include:
"Suntoucher"
"Superstylin'"
"Little By Little"
"My Friend"
"Lazy Moon"
"Edge Hill"
"Tuning In (Dub Mix)" (Though this one more as background music)
A pleasently feel good trip........2005-03-10
Same old GA winning formula, the trick they have is exploring the mainstays of dance and ambient chill in the main and adding a thematic twist to each album. It works so well becuase they study their craft and bring something truly original to each album, something copycat artists do not even come close to achieving. Each album is a joyous celebration of a musical style and this "hip hop" trip is no exception. A treat for the ear canal!
..sorry i am late.......2004-02-27
I don't know why i arrived to this cd only in the 2004!
Never too late, in this case.
Infact for a long periods i considered Groove Armada likes the band of "My Friend" a nice song but...nothing more.
I was so wrong that when i listened all the cd...i was disappointed with me....why i discovered this wonderful cd only now?
Coming to the cd it's a mix of dub-groove-funk-rock-reggae in a dark hip-hop soul influence.
But all this kind of music are mixed in a very originally way.
A strong product without any falling down and up, great song are: SUNTOUCHER , SUPERSTYLIN , of course MY FRIEND and also HEALING.
I am gonna to buy all the GA products.........it's never too late.
the best cd in my collection.......2003-12-18
Contrary to many other reviewers, this cd was my first introduction to GA. I believe it to be far superior to their previous release "Vertigo," which is a fine cd if you like more pop-like sounds. "Goodby Country" delves a bit deeper into bass-hitting tracks, but also includes some mellow tunes as well. My personal favorite is "Little by Little" This cd is probably the most played cd out of the 200+ cds that i own. it is perfect for almost any mood. buy it!

Customer Reviews:
I waited for this for five years.......2006-06-30
Between Amazone, Ebay and Napster, I don't usually buy CDs anymore, and I usually wait till I can buy them cheaper "new and used". When this set came out, I was excited, mainly by Disc 5, but wasn't going to spend $70 on it. I waited till it was cheap enough, and got it for Father's day this year.
It was worth the wait.
The concept is great. The packaging is great. The recording is great. Disc five is really cool for an ALW aficionado. There are a few real gems on it; my favorites are Petula Clark's "I Could Have Given You More" and "Benedicite."
I've always thought "Gus the Theatre Cat" made a great medley on the piano with "Unexpected Song" and "I DOn't Know How to Love Him," but wished there was an alternate lyric to match the other two songs. Now that I know there *is*, and it's a good lyric, it's a dream come true.
The melody of "Benedicite" is one of my favorites from _Sunset_ (the book mis-identifies it as "SUrrender"; it's actually "The Lady's Paying" and "Eternal Youth is Worth a Little Suffering"). The lyrics are the canticle from Daniel 3, which comes up every odd Sunday in the Divine Office, so it's nice to have cool music to sing it with.
I haven't bought _By Jeeves_ or _THe Beautiful Game_ yet, to it was great to sample them.
There are other parts of the CD taht aren't found in my collection. I like CD 4 "The Hits."
But the selections on CDs 1-3 don't make sense.
First, any self-respecting ALW fan has the Original London Cast of _Phantom_, so six tracks are totally useless. Why not draw from the Canadian cast with Colm Wilkinson? Or pull out some obscure recordings never published.
Why two different tracks with Michael Ball singing "Love Changes Everything", yet they're hardly any different?
On Disc 5 is "It's Only Your Lover Returning," sung by Julie Covington. It's an early draft of the song (Lloyd Webber and Rice went through several suggested titles) and quite nice. The very thing one expects on a Boxed Set.
So why have the Julie Covington "Don't Cry for Me" on disc 1?? The only difference is a few words, but it's otherwise identical. Why not Elaine Paige or Patti Lupone or Madonna?
The _Evita_ section is otherwise the best, choosing a sample from each major recording, though I'd have chosen slightly differently (as above).
There is a great selection of "Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer" from the Sydmonton festival, using the original music that was changed when _Cats_ went to Broadway_. It would have been nice if they'd included more recordings from Sydmonton, like the original lyric of "All I Ask of You" shown on the second DVD to the _Phantom_ movie.
With so many great actress-singers who've played Norma Desmond, why does the collection beat us over the head with Glenn Close?
Paul Miles Kingston must be set for life in royalties, for the number of albums the original recording of "Pie Jesu" has appeared on. "Amigos Para Siempre" is nice, but it reminds me of Shari Lewis's "The Song that Doesn't End," especially when it's been used on so many compilations.
In short, this is a great collection for the obscure material, if you can get it cheap. But for a boxed set, it's a poor sampling, drawn mostly from the most familiar recordings.
Excellent collection but BIG PUBLISHING MISTAKE! .......2006-01-10
Please beware they made a mistake on this. It's actually the shortened Ray Shell version of STARLIGHT EXPRESS from the original 1984 London cast - NOT the El Debarge single from 1987 like it says on the box. I don't know how they let that goof pass. Sorry to Ray Shell. Having said that, this is an outstanding compilation of Lloyd Webber's greatest hits.
ONE OF LLOYD WEBBER'S BEST COMPILATIONS, DESPITE A FEW FLAWS.......2005-03-21
Regardless of the fact that some of his latest efforts (most notably, The Woman in White) are disappointing, there can be little doubt that Andrew Lloyd Webber is one of the greatest composers ever to work in the musical theatre. Ever since his "Jesus Christ Superstar" hit the stage in the early 70-is, it was clear that the conception and perception of musicals are never going to be the same again. Many of his songs became standards not only in the theatre history, but also as tops on the charts. Even though he's British, his influence on the shape of the modern musical theatre expanded over the West End boundaries long ago and has thus made an enormous impact on Broadway. Two of his shows ("Cats" and "The phantom of the opera") hold the record as two the longest running shows in the history of Broadway. He has also been the only composer to have three of his shows running at Broadway concurrently. Some of his awards include three Grammies, a Golden Globe, an Oscar and a bunch of Tony awards. But perhaps most of all, Lloyd Webber is responsible for bringing the musicals and the theatre appealing to the wide audiences, who in different circumstances would not consider seeing a musical. The secret of his success is probably the mixture of beautiful and catchy melodies, interesting subject matter (though some, like Starlight Express, are too thin) and grandiose staging.
Over the years many compilations of his work have emerged. In the late 80-is and early 90-is it was the "Encore" series and lately the one-disc collection called "Gold". The one in question here can be considered one of the best currently on the market. First, it includes a 3-disc selections from all of his shows, minus the latest one, i.e., "The Woman in White", which, considering the triviality of the score, is no great lost. The fourth disc covers some of his most known songs sung by the famous artists. Then, there is the fifth disc with previously unreleased material, most of which are the songs ALW wrote with Tim Rice for various artists during the 70-is. The disks are all neatly packed in a hardcover book that features 67 pages of pictures and text with information about each of ALW's shows. One of the other assets here is the perfect sound quality, since all of the tracks have been digitally remastered.
Here are my basic impressions and comments regarding the material on the discs:
* Disc #1 has the selections from "Jesus Christ Superstar", "Evita", "Cats" and "Song & Dance". The Superstar material mostly comes from the Concept Recording. Although the songs sound beautiful as always, their orchestration is a bit dated now. Only Steve Balsamo's "Gethsemane" from the 1996 revival cast has a modern rock sound. "Evita" comes with the material from all of the major recordings: London, Broadway and the movie productions, as well as the Concept album. No objections here; since this is one of ALW's most satisfying works, every song is just perfect, although Patti LuPone, the Broadway and overall the best Evita, is left with only a couple of lines. With the selections from "Cats", however, I have some doubts. A plus to the choice of the "Jellicle ball" impressive orchestral sequence from the 1998 movie version and "Mister Mistoffelees" from the 1981 London cast. One of the best known ALW's songs, "Memory", also comes from that album. It's a pretty version and Elaine Paige's rendition cannot be matched, but why include this when the definite version, featuring an 80-piece orchestra and Elaine Paige with much better interpretation, can be found in the same movie version. Thusly, one has to buy Elaine Paige's latest 2-disc compilation "Centre Stage: The very best of Elaine Paige" to get that one. And "Gus the theatre cat" is more a recital than a song, so there was not much point in including that. Marti Webb brings her vocal charm to the "Song & Dance" sequence, Sarah Brightman sings "Unexpected song" with her famous soprano, but as much as I like her version, Bernadette Peters, who was in this show on Broadway is strangely left out here.
* Disc # 2 starts with "Starlight Express". This was never one of my favorite ALW's shows; the plot is even lighter than in "Cats" and the 1984 original cast recording is terribly dated. Yet, here we have one terrific duet, "I am starlight" from the original together with three songs from the later revivals and it seems that fresh orchestrations were just the thing Starlight needed. My favorite remains a touchy ballad, "Next time you fall in love". "Requiem" is the most solemn of all ALW's compositions, written in 1985 to commemorate the death of his father. Placido Domingo's tenor rides together with the chorus all the way through the strong "Hosanna", only to be joined by Sarah Brightman in the final moments of this song. She then gives an echoing deliverance of "Pie Jesu". What can be said of ALW's next show, "The Phantom of the Opera"? A phenomenon in its own right, it's easy to see from the six numbers included here why this is one of the best and most beloved musicals of all time. The cast, the music, the story - everything is perfect. Although "Aspects of love" was never a popular hit, it does have some of the most beautiful love melodies ALW has ever written. "Love changes everything" sung by Michael Ball is probably one of the best tunes ever about love. The rest of the selected material here has a dreamy love flavor and the melodies find their way into your brain in the best Lloyd Webber way.
* ALW's first musical, "Joseph and the amazing Technicolor dreamcoat" was more successful in its revival form than the original from the 70-is. The three songs included here are sung by the show stars, Jason Donovan and Donny Osmond. Maria Friedman was not a lucky choice to play the narrator, as the track from the 1998 movie version shows. "By Jeeves" was ALW's only big flop when it came to the stage in the 70-is. The 1995 revival sounds much better though, full of funny numbers in the best manner of the musical comedy. "Travel hopefully" remains one of the show's highlights on this compilation. "Sunset Boulevard" comes next. "Sunset" remains for me one of Webber's best scores; lush and beautiful. I listen to the original cast recording with Patti LuPone all the time. However, here most of the songs are performed by Glenn Close. A big mistake. If you've ever listened the American premiere recording with her, you'll know what I am talking about. She may have a strong stage presence, but her vocal abilities are too limited, and her aggressive approach to the role lacks any subtlety. Therefore, the two big numbers from this show, "With one look" and "As if we never said goodbye" are ruined by the fact she can't sing. The same goes for the American Joe Gillis, who was played by Alan Campbell. Luckily, Patti LuPone and Kevin Anderson, the original Norma and Joe from the London production, make their brief entrance here with the "Perfect year"; enough to show how better they are. The funny thing is, on the jacket and inside of it, Glenn Close and Alan Campbell are credited as performers in this song as well. If this was a mistake on ALW's part, it was a good one. The next ALW's show, "Whistle down the wind" was never a critic's dear and yet the audiences rushed in to see it in London. The score brings back ALW to his rock and roll roots of the seventies and the story is quite interesting. But the selections here are not the happiest, since the cast recording boasts with much better songs. And finally, "The Beautiful Game". Again, we have one of those ALW's shows that is worth in its individual parts rather than as a whole. "Our kind of love" and "Let us love in peace" are two catchy ballads. The latter is a nice amalgam version not available elsewhere. The two other tracks here I could live without.
* Disc # 4 has the songs from all the above shows performed by different artists. The assembled tracks have their pros and cons. For example, we have some previously unreleased stuff, like Dame Kiri Te Kanawa's operettic rendition of "The heart is slow to learn", or a stunning and epic "A kiss is a terrible thing to waste" from "Whistle down the wind", performed by The Metal Philharmonic Orchestra. Then again, what was the point in including almost identical tracks as the ones on the previous disks? So we have Michael Ball again singing "Love changes everything" with only a bit different orchestration; Sarah Brightman comes out again with the same Phantom duets, but only with the different male singers. It would be much more appropriate to include tracks from the Toronto Cast of the Phantom, with Colm Wilkinson. Other pop deliverances (Tina Arena's "Whistle down the wind", Barbra Streisand's "As if we never said goodbye", Boyzone's "No matter what" and many more) were wisely chosen. Patti LuPone is again nowhere to be found and Petula Clark's "With one look" sounds too worn-out.
* The last disc is probably the one that will be of most interest to Lloyd Webber aficionados. It consists of entirely previously unreleased material ALW for the most part wrote for various artists during his early years, with Tim Rice. Some of these tunes, not successful as a singles, were later used in his shows. Thus "Down thru' summer" became "Buenos Aires"in Evita, "Try it and see", an unsuccessful attempt for the Eurovision was used for "King Herod's song" in "Superstar" and so on. Some of these songs are nicely made pop songs: "Make believe love", ALW's first recorded composition, for which he provided the lyrics; "Goodbye Seattle", sung by Paul Raven, who later became Gary Glitter; "Come back Richard, your country needs you", from a never made musical, sung here by Tim Rice, or Latin flavored "Magdalena", with Tony Christie singing. My all time favorite here is a song called "It's easy for you", sung by none other than Elvis Presley himself. Lloyd Webber and Rice sent him a demo recording that he accepted and recorded this live version a couple of weeks before he died. It's amazing to hear how his voice remained in the perfect shape. Also, there is a track of Andrew Lloyd Webber singing "Policle dogs and Jellicle cats" while plying the piano. His voice doesn't sound bad at all.
Taken as a whole, this compilation makes a perfect birthday or Christmas present to any fan of Andrew Lloyd Webber shows, or just anybody interested in some of the best tunes from the modern era of the musical theatre; despite the flaws I mentioned above. To the former, it may just be the final addition for the Andrew Lloyd Webber collection.
SUCH MAGICAL MUSIC OF THE NIGHT!.......2003-01-19
"Evita." "Sunset Blvd." "Starlight Express." "Jesus Christ Superstar." "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat." "Requiem." "Aspects of Love." The man who is the most recognized composer in the history of the musical theatre, the man who has won more Tonys than any other composer, the man who boasts the best-selling show of all time ("The Phantom of the
Opera") and the longest-running show of all time ("Cats"), the man whose homes are filled with three Grammys, five Oliviers, a Golden Globe, and Oscar and too many other honors and hosannas to mention, the man knighted in 1992 certainly doesn't need an introduction. Now Decca Broadway pays tribute to Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber with "Now and Forever," a spectacular 5-CD set compiled and produced by Sir Andy himself. It's cheaper than a
ticket to "The Producers" ... and more much exciting. This treasure trove contains highlights from all of Webber's shows, and a bonus disc of tunes sung by Betty Buckley, Barbara
Streisand, Jose Carreras, Boy George, Charlotte Church, Madonna, Tom Jones, Petula Clark, even Elvis! A must for lovers of theatre---and good music.
A Must Have for Sir Andrew fans.......2002-05-21
This five-CD collection of Andrew Lloyd Webber's career is fantastic. It leaves virtually no stone unturned. I have no doubt that diehard Webber fans will love this, especially for the 5th disc entitled "From the Vaults." This disc alone is worth the price as it contains tunes never before heard by the typical fan. Who knew Elvis did a Lloyd Webber tune?!? I didn't! Also the tune "Benedictine" which the composer wrote for his most recent marriage is not only pretty, but it has the same medley as "The Lady's Paying" from "Sunset Blvd." which I found highly enjoyable. Another great track is the composer himself singing a cut song from "Cats" entitled "Pollicle Dogs and Jellicle Cats" which has the same tune as "Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats," but to hear Sir Andrew sing is a blast...he sounds a lot like Al "Year of the Cat" Stewart.
The cuts from the musicals are great but are likely owned by ALW fans as they are on the original cast albums. And I'm glad that there were tunes included from the composers most recent efforts which have yet to make it beyond London (Whistle Down the Wind, Beautiful Game).
My only complaint is the inclusion of way too many tracks by Sarah Brightman. She must've received a great divorce settlement that included having tunes on any ALW collection until the end of time!! Her interpretations of some of the tunes were limp and uninspired. I would've much rather heard casts from around the world rather than yet another song by this disdainful soprano! How about Colm Wilkinson's version of "Music of the Night" from the original Canadian cast of "Phantom"? Or Michael Crawford's version of "Unexpected Song"? What? No Betty Buckley from "Sunset Blvd."? And of course there are songs you KNOW are going to be on the collection before you even listen to it as they have been on EVERY ALW collection for the past decade or so.
A great collection but too much Sarah Brightman!

Vince Gill is deeply in love. It's hard to imagine an adolescent in the throes of first crush sounding any giddier than Gill does on this mash note of an album to new wife Amy Grant (who returns the devotion with a duet on "When I Look into Your Heart"). Though romantic rapture doesn't necessarily produce lesser music than heartbreak, the mushiness of "Feels Like Love," "The Luckiest Guy in the World," and "Look What Love's Revealing" is wince-worthy rather than Vince-worthy (particularly in comparison with his previous album, 1998's deeply moving The Key). Sentiments such as "We hold hands walking and spend all night talking and make love as the sun starts to rise" would better have been confined to pillow talk. Here's wishing the happy couple all the best, while hoping that Gill has gotten the sappiest album of his career out of his system. --Don McLeese

Vince's BEST album.......2005-09-26
What does amazon.com know about Vince Gill? Nothing. Who does know him? We do, his fans! This is his best album. When he sings, "I found somebody that really does love me...," you believe him. After all, I buy Vince Gill CDs precisely for the love songs, and this CD is "chock full" of love songs. His last CD was wonderful; however, this CD surpasses that one - this is his best CD yet, to which I say that it's a shame more artists don't produce quality music when they are in love. Best of luck to ya, Vince - you found what we all are searching for - the difference is that you have shared it with us through this CD.
Let's Make Sure We Kiss Goodbye.......2005-07-28
I just love this song. A good friend of mine introduced me to Vince Gill and I thank him for it. I never knew Country music existed like this, I love it.
Watered down Gill.......2003-12-04
I love Vince Gill, but his sense of musical direction was lacking at times with this CD. Most of the songs don't really sound country. In fact, they remind me of those sappy love songs I hear Light Rock 106.7 in my hometown. I am happy that Vince has found the love of his life. However, I just wonder how his ex wife feels about her former husband going into so much detail about his new love in a CD? That must hurt big time, especially after such a public and recent divorce when the album was released.
There are only a handful of songs I really like on this CD like track 6,11 and 12. The rest are okay and easy listening for when you want to breeze through the day.
A must-have for romantics!.......2002-01-10
...Yes, Vince is love and it shows, so why shouldn't he share these wonderful feelings with the rest of the world? If you want my opinion, there's no-one better to sing a good love song than Vince. It's almost his specialty. That's why I enjoyed this CD so much. Vince's happiness in his personal life project into his music and what we're served with is 12 wonderful, passionate, heartfelt songs.
Every song on the album is fantastic, but I do have a few personal favorites. They include the following:
"Feels Like Love": This is such a great song! It's a fun, upbeat tune about how a woman makes a man feel.
"Let's Make Sure We Kiss Goodbye": Hands-down my favorite track on the CD! I still don't understand why this wasn't a hit on radio. It's typical Vince: romantic, soft, and passionate. It's almost as if he's singing directly to you when you hear it. Such a beautiful song. It had so much potential. Such a shame radio overlooked it.
"When I Look Into Your Heart": This song strays a bit from country to the adult contemporary side, but that's not a bad thing. Here Vince duets with new wife Amy Grant and it's just magic. Their voices blend so beautifully and you can hear the love they have for one another on this track.
"Shoot Straight From the Heart": Yet ANOTHER song overlooked by radio! This is a killer song! It's another upbeat song about looking at life in a positive light and trusting in the one you love to help you through.
And finally, there's "Hey God", Vince's tribute to golf buddy Payne Stewart, who died in October 1999 of a plane crash. Here Vince is talking to God about how good of a friend Payne was and how he'll be missed by family and friends. It'll bring a tear to your eye for sure.
In short, "Let's Make Sure We Kiss Goodbye" is a wonderful album and should've been a bigger hit. I think too many people were making a big deal about Vince's love life and forgot to REALLY listen to the songs. If you're a Vince fan or just a fan of a good country love song, you should have this album. ... it's very good.
Gennie Bailey-Rogers
Let's make sure you pick up this CD someday..........2001-04-20
Not being a huge country music fan, I was a little weary of buying this CD. I heard one of his singles on the radio last summer (2000) and decided to pick this CD up. Vince Gill has always been one of my favorites in the country genre b/c he can play his own guitar and write his own songs. This CD finds Vince, reeling from his new love/new marriage to Amy Grant. Every song is about his deep deep love for Amy, his daughter or his family and friends. The first five songs can be played over and over. It's a great disc just to unwind to and to play in the evening. Vince is more Contemporary Country instead of Nashville Country. If you're a fan of Amy Grant or Steve Wariner, this is one for you. Pick it up. Well worth it!

amazing music.......2006-06-06
I'm a originally a turkish women who loves very much American Country Music.
Mark Chesnutt is the best artist in the country music. His amazing
voice and style make me listen his music over and over again.
I love him so much. For about three years in a row I went to his concert.He is an exceptional,fantastic musician. God Bless him,his family and his band.
The real Deal.......2002-08-29
Mark Chessnut he is a very talented singer when it comes to country music then let me tell you this ol" boy can sing it!!!I have been listening to his music since he first arrived on the scene .From the time i first heard him sing to cold at home i said he is gonna be a star well, that prediction proved true!!!The song went to number 1 and so did everything else he released after that almost!!! I cant say that this cd is my favorite of his i dont think i can pick one but, i think if you listen to him and you like real true country music then you will want to hear more of this man!!!Almost goodbye is a good cd it starts out with a good song about partying to hard and having to go to work the next day and just how it feels to party to hard its called it sure is monday. The second song is ok it is called woman sensous woman its about a guy whos deep in love with his girl he even goes so far as to say you control the world im living in.Then theres the title track it will chill you to the bone when you hear Mark put his personal touch to the song and the guitar is awesome its a song about those little lover spats that almost ended with goodbye! I just wanted you to know is a well written song although Mark didnt write it he sang it very well and Took you to where the man in the song was in pain and living with a memory. Aprils fool is about a guy whos fell in love with a girl and she played with his heart and in the end he was left being another of Aprils Fools!!!Texas is bigger than it used to be is just a good texas honky tonk dance floor song itll make you wish you were Two stepping across a hard wood floor with thick smoke dim lights and loud music!!! My hearts to broke to pay attention tells a story of a man getting hurt to where hes got good looking women all around him and hes afraid of taking a chance with em because of how he was hurt.Vickie vance gotta dance is ok its not one of my favorites on this cd though!!!Till a better memory comes along is another one of those songs where the man was left hurting and afraid of trying at love again great song about breaking up!Then last but not least is the song the will i personally think this is a song everyone should hear especially when it comes to the death of a loved one and wills and whats left behind for the survivors The song says it all! It tell a story about a loved one dieng and the family reading the will of their last wishes.I got a little choked up i must say .Mark in my opinion is one of Nashvilles best and doesnt get the credit he deserves Well , i really dont know what else to say i havent already said give Mark a listen i guarantee itll be worth the time and money.As long as Mark is around country is in good hands After listening and you want more then go pick up his new cd Its self titled Mark Chessnut and it has his new song She was on it Only one thing to say that describes Mark "Country"!!!!!
I Like This CD........1999-07-06
I Like This CD Because it has my Favorite songs on it. I Like The Ballad Almost Goodbye. When You Think of a day like monday It Reminds you of It Sure Is Monday. I Like that song. I Just wanted you to know is also my favorite song.

Customer Reviews:
A truly splendid collection.......2007-01-04
This is one of the most wide-ranging and wonderful collections of early roots music I've found. The performances range from gospel quartets and choirs through blues and jug bands, pulling together influences from gospel, bluegrass and country, jazz, and blues. And then there's an entire disc of sermons, with such gems (no pun intended) as "Black Diamond Express to Hell". Great stuff, and a wonderfully eclectic collection of early roots music, gospel or not.
The sound quality is very good, especially given the age of many of the sources.
There's not a ton of historical/biographical info in the 200+ page book, but the inclusion of all the lyrics of every song is a huge win. The packaging is as cool as it looks, but isn't terribly practical for day-to-day use. That wasn't a problem for me, as I ripped all six CDs and have primarily played them off my computers, but could be a nuisance for some.
This Is A Must-Have.......2006-05-13
This set includes 5 music CD's plus 1 preaching CD. All six are good ones and each individual CD is put together according to a single theme; salvation, judgement, etc. I listen to this over and over again and I never tire of it. Maybe this is a bit pricy, but still it's worth every cent.
A piece of America.......2005-12-10
I have had this set for over a year and I still have not listened to it all. 135 songs of such diverse and interesting variety and styles. The music is so raw in most cases that it speaks to the gut first, then the heart.
Dust to Digital is the best outfit in the world for locating and assembling such massive historical recordings. This is the most pleasureable set of gospel (if you can limit it to that genre) music, ever. Thank you DtoD.
