AWESOME!.......2007-07-10

If you enjoy gospel music -- YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET! Elvis' incredible voice is perfect for the soulful lyrics. Plus he picks up the tempo on many of them making them sound more like rock. All of my favorites are on this 3CD set - so I'm very very happy that I bought it. I highly recommend it!

This CD is great!.......2007-07-07

Elvis sings gospel songs like no other! Some of the songs are a litte rough but you have to realize some songs were recorded in his home or at the studio while he is just playing around. The first disc is more of the released songs while some of the songs on the other CD's are live versions or unreleased versions with him laughing and talking. I thoroughly love this set!

Great gospel album!.......2007-07-05

I have always thought that Elvis' voice was never better than when he was singing gospel and this album proves it! Well done remastering, clear, very good sound. Absolutely a must for people who love gospel and Elvis!!

Awesome.......2007-06-27

Its great to have all of the Kings inspirational music in one collection.I have one word for this collection AWESOME!!!

Great music , Fine performance.......2007-06-14

Elvis is at his best on these albums singing songs that he apparantly very fond of as he puts his heart and soul into these great old time gospel hits. Your service was prompt and every thing arrived in perfect
condition. Thanks

Martha Coolidge's 1983 directorial debut--based loosely on the Frank (and Moon) Zappa (who weren't involved with the film) novelty hit of the previous year--carried a budget so low that it didn't even generate a soundtrack album when it was released. Loosely based on the same themes as Romeo and Juliet, (with a young Nicolas Cage as a Hollywood homeboy Montague) Valley Girl's producers were also savvy enough to tap into LA radio outlet KROQ's pioneering "Rock of the 80s" format. Rhino's unofficial soundtrack release captures much of the spunky essence of KROQ's playlist--three tracks by LA's great Plimsouls (including their biggest hit "A Million Miles Away"), some novelty hits (Josie Cotton's "Johnny Are You Queer, "Jukebox" by the flirts, Felony's "The Fanatic")--and fondly recalls an era when rock's fun quotient hadn't yet been tattooed and pierced into oblivion. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

Bonnie Hayes had 2 songs in the movie that aren't on this CD........2007-01-27

Bonnie Hayes had 2 songs in the movie "Valley Girl" that are not on this CD. Those songs are called "Girls Like Me" and "Shelley's Boyfriend." Both of those songs are from her 1982 album "Good Clean Fun." Unfortunatley, that wonderful album has never been released on CD.

But if you google "Bonnie Hayes," she has her own website where she lets you legally download both of those songs for free. I just thought you might like to know that!

I love this CD!.......2006-10-02

I'm only 20 years old, but I've loved this movie pretty much since birth, and my mom had the soundtrack when I was younger, so I grew up listening to the pioneering new wave of the 80's. I've purchased my own copy and love it to this very day! I'm still looking to buy the 2nd soundtrack, but for some reason can't seem to find it anywhere. I know it was on Amazon a while back, but was very expensive (almost $40) and there were only about 4 available. There's some great songs on that one as well, in fact, I might like that one just a little bit more. But definitely check this CD out! It's like totally tubular, for sure!

Great Early 80's!.......2006-04-05

If you are familiar with the movie and all the of new wave you heard, this is a soundtrack to have. The Plimsouls really made it hard not to like one of the main songs "A Million Miles Away." This is a great CD to have in the car for trips or just for everyday driving to and from work. Having a bad day? Listen to this and you will either laugh or just go back to those times when you were dancing to this music.

I Don't Like Metal but i LOVE THIS BAND.......2007-07-09

OK, just so you know where i'm coming from, i'm a huge be-bop jazz and classical music fan and i think Zeppelin, Kiss and Queen just plain SUCK (yeah yeah, write me nasty email, see if i care)

I *DO* like Motorhead and the Ramones a lot though

and i LOVE Kyuss. of their three CDs (Blues for the Red Sun, this one and ...and the circus leaves town) this is probably my favorite because it's a bit more daring

THese guys were just wonderful, loud as hell, grungy thrashing pounding slamming over the top but with some with and cleverness and NONE OF THE POMPOUS B.S. you find with most metal/loud bands: no big hair, no makeup, no skin tight clown outfits, no lame overtly sexual lyrics, no fire eating or hanging from wires when they played, etc. Just guys doing it really well

Sonically i think my aforementioned faves Motorhead and the Ramones are probably the best reference points here. Kyuss was simple, stripped down, bass heavy.

This album basically has 3 songs - they are 'suites' made up of several songs that run into each other. while they grind out some hot effin' riffs and can run full tilt at fast tempos, they also catch you off guard now and then by slowing it down or setting the song up with a quiet-ish, slow-ish intro that suddenly explodes into high volume

monster albumn.......2007-05-13

very good buy. if you just got into kyuss, this is a must have, definetly a jam

Enjoy your stay........2007-03-11

Ok, it's official. This is the best Kyuss album. No doubt about it. Josh Homme's low-tuned riffage, Scott Reeder's Geezer-ish bass lines and fills, Brant Bjork's energetic drumming, and the stoned voice of John Garcia all combine into one energetic groove of an album.

From the opening notes of "Gardenia," this album grabs you and never lets go. There are different atmospheres throughout the whole cd. With songs like "Supa Scoopa" and "Whitewater," the feel is agressive, yet mellow too. Other songs like "Space Cadet" feels like a calm wind blowing by. Other tracks like "Conan Troutman" and "100o" are pure agression. Yet there is a cohesive flow to the whole record.

While some people might complain about the album being tacked onto 3 tracks, I love it. I think that each part has a powerful beginning, a cool middle, and an explosive ending. It works on that behalf.

So, if you're interested in entering the world of Kyuss, get this album, or their other masterpiece, Blues For The Red Sun. You can't lose.

AN ABSOLUTE CLASSIC FOR THE GENRE.......2007-01-02

Kyuss are the pioneers of "stoner rock", and this recording not only represents the pinnacle of accomplishment for Kyuss, but for the whole somewhat obscure, certainly unappreciated, and ill-named genre. However, personally I would not purely categorize Kyuss as stoner rock, and Welcome to Sky Valley is just great rock, period.
I would describe this album as down-tuned guitar distorted thick and sticky molten hot groove riff-laden badassness! If you listen to this CD and don't get how good it is do yourself a favor and listen to it a few more times, it grows on you quick, and as is recommended in the CD booklet listen without distraction.

One blow till I'll take ya' down, I'll take ya' down
One smoke and your head spins around and around
Chrome mags, a million drags, and never lags
An ol' transport queen momma you've never seen
Hear the purrin' motor, and she's a burnin' fuel

Listen Without Distraction.......2006-02-17

On the inside of the CD jacket there is a quiet suggestion that says something to the effect of "listen without distraction". When I first heard this album nearly ten years ago, I sat down to give it a try, and as "Gardenia" began to build I found myself slipping away into a familiar state of ultra peaceful contentedness that I rarely get with albums anymore. Even though I had never heard this album before that moment, it felt like I had been listening for years.

"Welcome to Sky Valley" is a 1994 release from Kyuss, a united effort by John Garcia (later singer for Slo Burn and Unida), Josh Homme (yes, QOTSA Josh Homme), Nick Oliveri (also in QOTSA) and Brant Bjork. Kyuss is raw in a simple (and beautiful) way. Many bands have a distinguishing characteristic that separates them from others, usually a single item that makes them stand out. *Everything* about Kyuss stands out. They are (were) a raw, rockin, metal, jamming kind of band that blends many styles seamlessly into something new. Gardenia, for instance, breaks out into a 2+ minute jam where Josh Homme overlays two tracks of wah with his guitar, one to keep rythm, the other to harmonize. With judicious use of his ride cymbals, Bjork keeps a continuous thread of heavy drumming which weaves it all together.

One thing that stands out about Kyuss is the low, gritty, gain-all-the-way-up-on-a-tube-amp sound of Josh Homme's guitar. "Welcome to Sky Valley" is a bit more refined than the powerful "Blues for the Red Sun", but the often drop-D tuned melody is still there, a modern shadow of Black Sabbath, except better (?). A bold claim, I know... but possibly true. Rumor has it that Homme played his guitar through a bass amp to get that sound. I learned guitar while alternating between Zeppelin and Kyuss, and one thing I picked up fast was Homme's technique of using the low octaves of the key to add space to the sound. Playing "E" in the seventh fret while resonating the open "E" on the low string adds much more to the chord than simply playing an "E" chord in the second fret, and this simple techinque is the basis for much of Kyuss' sound.

Throwing Kyuss into the CD player never disappoints. I especially enjoy it while driving (fast).

The impact of Marilyn Manson's subversive musical agenda has waned, and what's left is a provocative, talented artist writing affecting, powerful, and yes, controversial songs. Although Holy Wood is the third title of a trilogy that began with 1996's Antichrist Superstar, the album stands on its own. Rife with references to the Beatles and the Kennedys, and full of pop-culture barbs, Holy Wood is a musically diverse and powerful statement. The memorable sing-along "Disposable Teens" boasts the same kind of staccato, Teutonic, first-thrusting power introduced with "Beautiful People," while "Fight Song" is the Sex Pistols meets Blur by way of Nirvana. While a futuristic, nihilistic tint pervades Manson's work, passion is also prevalent, notably in the spooky acoustic number "A Place in the Dirt" and the brutal "Death Song." Like Marilyn Manson the man, Holy Wood is intelligent, dynamic, and multifaceted, with myriad charms that are evident to the tuned-in listener. --Katherine Turman

Customer Reviews:

Pretty good........2007-06-18

This Manson album settles pretty well with me. It has some great tracks, such as "Disposable Teens", "The Fight Song", "Godeatgod", "The Nobodies", "The Love Song", "The Death Song" and even more. It also has some great and well thought out lyrics to accompany its many hit songs. Most of the lyrical content revolves around Manson's feelings toward the Columbine High School incident in 1996 and how the media claimed that the two assassins involved had been great fans of his while only a short time after it was found that not one of the two boys had been even remote fans of Manson's and their statements were disproved.

The only downfall I saw with this album was how it seemed to drag on a bit. It's almost as if Manson was trying to fit just a little too many songs into one disc. Otherwise, the album doesn't have too many noticeable flaws.

Overall, this CD will definitely turn the listener's stomach with its passionately riveting sound and corresponding lyrics. This is definitely one of Manson's more emotionally driven LP's and it's very recognizable to anyone who listens that Manson put his heart and soul into it. This CD will definitely give you something to swallow. Recommended.

MANSON.......2007-05-10

THIS CD IS EXCELLENT!IT'S ALSO INTERESTING.I LOVE THE SONG TITLED: KING KILL 33. THE MUSIC'S HYPNOTIC. THE SONG TITLED: COUNT TO 6 AND DIE IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT.THE SONG TITLED: IN THE SHADOW OF THE VALLEY OF DEATH IS SO SAD.THERE'S SO MANY DIFFERENT STYLES OF MUSIC ON THIS CD,AND SO MANY EMOTIONS.MANSON'S REALLY SOMETHING SPECIAL!

No Longer Popular.......2007-04-26

The first Manson release of the millenium sees both the singer and his backing band's popularity in doubt, as Emenem and other rappers were all the rage. Not even a throwback to his gothic days could save this from going only gold certified, and gold certified years after its original release date. By this time they were stuck in the 70s, and Manson was again controversial but didn't draw much protest. The music itself is a throwback to his Potrait days, but like I said, the band's popularity was in doubt. It seemed more like the Thrill Kill Kult- famous, but not popular, camp industrial music only someone who didn't care if they were popular themself could get into.

Attention: Marilyn Manson Peaked Here..........2007-03-13

Yes folks, this is Marilyn Manson at his best. After this album, Marilyn Manson would begin their decline.

The Positives: John5's guitar work is at its peak on this album. Songs like "Disposable Teens", "The Fight Song", "The Nobodies", "The Death Song", "Lamb of God", and "The Love Song" are some of the finest Manson guitar tunes to date. Also, the lyrics reach their peak with this album. Lyrically, this album is a proper fuse of Antichrist Superstar and Mechanical Animals. Therefore, I believe this to be the peak of Marilyn Manson. Everything is running on full power (lyrics, guitars).

The Negatives: None...every track on this record is very intelligent and enjoyable.

Personal Favorites: The Fight Song, Disposable Teens, The Death Song, The Nobodies, Lamb of God, The Love Song, Coma Black, and King Kill 33.

The Further Decline of Marilyn Manson.......2007-01-25

Marilyn Manson was a phenomenon to be reckoned with. Musically, Manson is inferior to other contemporaries of his day (ie, Nine Inch Nails); however, they were overshadowed by the fact that Manson was more than a band: it was a statement perfectly crafted for alienated teens. Manson gradually transformed from a band with a message to a lifestyle with its very own 'poster band'. Manson reached his musical zenith with 'Antichrist Superstar' (his best album), and then declined with 'Mechanical Animals'. 'Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death)', although better than 'Mechanical Animals', is still not Manson at his best. He seems to sacrifice the music for the concept behind the album. The album seems long drawn out, and some songs are extremely repetitive (ie, 'The Fight Song', 'Disposable Teens'). The best song on the album is probably 'Cruci-fiction in Space'.

It is a perilous proposition when genres clash--and no such collaboration is more potentially fraught than when improvisation-trained folk musicians sit in with Western classical instrumentalists, who are taught to interpret a printed score. The renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma has devoted much of his professional life to such intercultural experiments. But the traditions of nations situated along the ancient Silk Road, which began in the Far East, meandered through Asia and terminated in Europe, are especially dear to him. These lushly arranged pieces range from moody scenic vistas to percussive Turkish hip-shakers and they make very pleasant listening. If they owe more to the European canon than the ethnic sources that inspired them, they are also the result of respectful give-and-take between a team of acknowledged masters. And nobody is more of a team player than Maestro Ma, an impassioned, fearless musical seeker and a gracious, deferential colleague. --Christina Roden

delightful experience.......2007-07-04

this collection of music is quite a cultural experience. I've been hooked since I opened the cover!

Excellent Compilation with Marvelous Tracks.......2007-01-20

I enjoyed this compilation of Silk Road music very much. It delivers a nice, diverse sample of music from the region. My favorite track of the CD is Shikasta, but I like the others as well.

Beyond the first Silk Road CD.......2006-11-23

Yo-Yo Ma went beyond indeed. The first CD with Silk Road ensemble (When Strangers Meet) was inconsistent and somewhat experimental. This one however, is superb. As if in the 5 years the musicians got to know each other (but in truth, only a few musicians are the same). 23 traditional Eastern instruments are listed plus a number of western strings and other percussion was used. So the music on this CD gets my full attention, and as the title of first track suggests, you (can) get enchanted.
The tracks are ordered into three parts: Enchantments (1-5), Origins (6-9) and New Beginnings. First track is strangely familiar (like it was used in some film, but there is no mention of this). In third track this theme gets Chinese interpretation. The style from one track to the other changes, so you can't get bored or overexcited. Second is simply very nice, the fourth great intro of Armenian wind instrument duduk (played by famous Gevorg Dabaghyan), accompanied by percussion mostly, albeit the piece is short. 5 is gentle with cello and xun (Chinese ocarina), 6 orchestral from slow to cool, 7 again gentle with cello and vocal, 8 starts with yearning duduk and turns into orchestral battle, 9 cello and percussion. Track 10 is the only one with prominent vocal (love song) and introduces us to the last part of CD, which are more like jam sessions of all instruments. 11 and 13 are very lively. The last one, track 15, brings us a new interpretation of very ancient Chinese melody played on pipa.

Some would probably say this CD is commercialized. Personally I don't see any wrongdoings in this as long the music stays a high quality one. For the more authentic Silk Road one can always buy The Silk Road: A Musical Caravan.

Excelent!!!.......2006-01-15

One of the best concerts I attended in my life (so far... :-)...)

One of the Best !.......2005-12-06

This album has captured the soul of the Silkroad. There is not a single track in this album I don't like. I've been listening to it over and over and over again since I first got it. I think it's much better than the first one.

This CD has a lot of good songs on it, but it just too bland for our taste. We prefer Western music to sound as though genuine cowboys are singing it - not a fancy chorus!

For anyone who likes movie/tv music from westerns should purchase this CD. What a wonderful collection of both film and tv with great renditions of each piece. I'm about to purchase Vol. 1 to complete my collection.

Hard to Find Great Western Themes .......2006-03-16

This CD has a number of great western themes that are not in some of the standard lists. For example it includes "The Hallejuah Trail", "Blazing Saddles", and "Giant". This CD also has what I consider the true theme of "The Comancheros". I have been disappointed with some other CDs I have purchased listing "The Comancheros" which had a song rather than this theme. Many of the tracks on this two disk CD go beyond the main theme music and are actually suites. The "Big Country" and "How the West Was Won" are just a couple of examples. It may be a little more expense than some CDs, but not bad for a two disk set. I am really happy with my purchase.

Western Music.......2005-07-29

I enjoy this CD. It has many familiar melodies. Good background for reading, nice to listen while driving. It is also the only CD I've ever found that has the great theme from the movie "Giant."

There are themes in here that everyone will recognize ("Bonanza," "A Fistful of Dollars"), themes that may not be so familiar ("Duel in the Sun," "The Hanging Tree," the lively "Blazing Saddles"), and even themes you may not associate with Westerns at all ("The Friendly Persuasion"). And no duplication either: when this disc includes a piece from one of the same sources covered in its predecessor, it's a different piece. One great treat: the full lyrics to "Gunfight at OK Corral," which I've never heard outside the soundtrack of the movie itself. The arrangement from "Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid" includes not only the familiar song "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head" but an overview of the music--seguing almost seamlessly into Bernstein's magnificent "The Comancheros," a rare find indeed. An expensive item, but if you love Western film music, well worth it.

Vallet of the Damned.......2007-05-22

The first Dragonforce Album. A must have for any Powermetal lover or just anyone who loves melody and people how know how to play their instruments

Not as good as Sonic Firestorm or Inhuman Rampage.......2007-03-08

I own all three of Dragonforce's albums, and this was the last one that I purchased. It definitely has a different sound to it than Sonic Firestorm and Inhuman Ramapge. VOtD isn't quite as filled with guitar shreddage and the overall recording sounds kind of echoey and hollow. I really like the sound of their last two albums better than this one. If you are new to Dragonforce I would suggest Sonic Firestorm and Inhuman Rampage, in that order, before you purchase this album. They have better recording quality and I think also better songs and overall a better sound.

I'm sorry, but I have to state my opinion.......2007-03-04

I believe Dragonforce is one of the worst bands ever. Now, I didn't say they aren't talented, what I'm saying is their music has no emotion. This is in no way metal. Metal is about AGGRESSION. If you add in a lead guitarist that plays video game riffs all day, there's no way you can headbang. The guitar solos are so robotic, it's ridiculous to the point that you have to stop playing all these annoying scales over and over again. Listen to a Darrell Dimebag solo. THAT'S EMOTION. This whole band sounds like something out of a Sonic the Hedgehog video game.To be honest, I have no idea how anyone could listen to something like this.
This band is TERRIBLE.

the force of a dragon.......2007-02-08

Love them or hate them. The best or the worst.
That's usually how it goes with Dragonforce. Despite whatever people say, I think Dragonforce's first effort, Valley of the Damned, is a great effort.

Valley of the Damned is THE song on this album. Everything else pales in comparison. In true Dragonforce style, the song is fast and the lyrics stay in the genre of fantasy. The outro to the song declines in speed, showing that the Li and Totman are indeed human.

Other good songs off the CD are Black Fire, Starfire, and Black Winter Night. The track to avoid is Revelations. If you memorize Valley of the Damned and listen to Revelations, you can clearly see a strong resemblence. If I were to listen to Revelations without even hearing Valley, I would still say it's a mediocre song.

If you like fast power metal with crazy guitar solos, then you'll enjoy Valley of the Damned. And if you're a true Dragonforce fan, you'll start to count how many times you hear "Over mountains high" in their songs...so far, I'm up to three.

A good Debut from the fastest power metal band.......2006-11-20

Dragonforce was first introduced to me by a friend. He told me that this one song called "Valley Of The Damned" is really good, so I took a listen and I was instantly hooked. Everything about it was great. The solos (keyboard and guitar), catchy drum beats and guitar riffs, excellent basslines, and the list goes on and on. So I went to the store and bought this immedietly. Little did i know that all of the songs sounded exactly the same. It wasn't exactly the wisest move in the world, but it sounds great nonetheless. I was yawning through all of it and I was sleeping at the end. But after a while these songs get better and better, but don't expect a masterpiece, but a very hungry band that was in the big leagues for the first time.

Ry Cooder may have been an in-demand session guitarist in the late '60s, but what set him apart in his early solo career was his extraordinary, if eccentric, taste in songs. Here he explores the repertoires of everyone from Johnny Cash to Bahaman folk master Joseph Spence to Leadbelly with enchanting results. While Cooder's vocal skills are no match for his slide guitar and mandolin talents (the latter showcased splendidly in "Hey Porter" and "Billy the Kid"), he's an amiable singer who resists the temptation to camp it up, even when essaying such antiquated oddities as "FDR in Trinidad" and "Taxes on the Farmer Feeds Us All." --Steve Stolder

Customer Reviews:

Awful Singing, Great Guitar.......2007-02-06

Whoa. I bought this album on the strength of these reviews and the 5 stars...but be careful, all is not 5 stars in the kingdom of Cooder. The reason you've never heard of this album is that while the guitar playing is impeccable, inspired and a mark of true talent, the singing is AWFUL. Cooder is almost tuneless and clearly has never learned how to sing. On tracks like Teardrops Will Fall, his back-up singers come in and really highlight how terrible his tune is. Consider yourself warned.

Ry Cooder: Into The Purple Valley.......2007-01-10

Into The Purple Valley is basically a concept album about 1930s America, and Ry Cooder's second solo record. The only other Ry Cooder album I own is his self-titled debut, which is great, but this one blows it away. Certain songs on Cooder's debut are among my all-time favorites, especially "How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times And Live?", which has heartbreaking lyrics almost enough to make the staunchest Republican turn socialist (contrary to a previous review, "How Can A Poor Man" IS from Cooder's debut album, not from Into The Purple Valley). But overall I was disappointed by the self-titled album, mainly because my expectations were so high. The sound was not full enough, since Cooder used a backing band on only a few of the tracks, and too many slow songs slowed everything down.

This album, however, lives up to all expectations. The foot-tappers "Money Honey" and "Taxes On The Farmer Feeds Us All" are the two perfect songs, but almost equally great are "How Can You Keep Moving," "On A Monday," and "Denomination Blues," all of which have awesome, lighthearted lyrics that would have come off as merely cute if they had not been done exactly right. And then there are the beautiful/sad songs: "Teardrops Will Fall" (which sounds much more modern than the rest of the songs, both musically and lyrically - it could almost be a Smokey Robinson tune), and "Great Dream From Heaven," a short but sweet instrumental. I realize that I've named nearly every song on the album, something that usually annoys me when I'm reading other people's album reviews, but that just goes to show you how much I love this whole CD. If you are a fan of roots-conscious rock music like The Band and Rory Gallagher, then you can't go wrong with Ry Cooder; and if you are just getting into Ry Cooder, I don't think there is a better starting place than Into The Purple Valley.

(Bonus tip: if you have not heard of Rory Gallagher, definitely check him out too, especially his two live albums.)

Into the purple valley.......2006-11-02

It's a good sounding set of different songs of pass. I liked the different type music and lyrics.

The Return to the Purple Valley........2002-12-30

Ry Cooder has shown us a wide variety and diversification of musical influences since this 1972 release, but to me, this is his best effort. I love the broad range of musical influences that he has taken over the years, including the commercially successful Buena Vista Social Club, however, Into the Purple Valley is where he is at home. From beginning to end, this album carries such a magical feel, particularly the struggles of the poor and oppressed from a long ago era, however, seems to give us an indication that maybe our own "blues" maybe waiting around the corner for us all. ( You must remember that Nixon was in office when this was released...need I say more?). My personal favorites are "FDR in Trinidad", " How Can a Man Stand Such Times and Live", and the ever amazing rendition of "Vigilante Man". I love Mr. Cooder's travels into the realms of other cultures and rhythems. Through these venture, he has broadened our knowledge and appreciation for the sounds and rhythems of our world through the eyes and ears of those who we would have otherwise never known or heard. However, I feel that there is more for him to explore and interpret from The Heart of America and to give his own special stamp of originality. To those of you who have never heard "Into the Purple Valley" have no hesitation in going out immediately and purchasing. It will become one of your very favorites. And To Mr. Cooder, when you grow weary of world travels, come on back to the Purple Valley. We will all be waiting for you.

I wish I had this CD.......2001-12-20

I purchased this CD a year ago, right about the time when I was, coincidentally, doing a history project about the Dust Bowl. It provided the perfect backround music for it, and I have loved it ever since. In my mind there are no weak tracks, with the possible exception of Teardrops Will Fall, which I did not care for at first, but has grown on me. What amazed me the most about this album was the diversity within the particular style of music Cooder is dealing with. I normally group music like this under the term "down home," but on this disk that can range from folk to blues, or even a bit of calypso. I unfortunately lost this CD, along with Chickenskin Music, on a Continental Airlines flight this summer (and was rudely accomodated too), but I am sure that I will own it again in the near future.

Best known for 1951's "The Wild Side of Life," Thompson wed prewar Western swing to postwar honky-tonk and created a sound that proved viable both on the radio (where swing was usually ignored) and in the dance halls. He kept it up with a steady string of hits that included beer-drinking ballads, heart songs, folkish material, and flat-out novelties; though he plied a distinctly Texas sound, he was never shy about looking to the Southeast for material. His bands, often joined in the studio by guitarist Merle Travis, framed his vocals perfectly without ever taking the spotlight off the singer (and also cut instrumental hits such as "Wildwood Flower" on their own). With 20 tracks, this is the best single-CD sampler of Thompson's early work. --John Morthland

The authentic original 40's & 50's Country + TRUE Country.......2007-05-28

I remember him from way back there in the late 40's to now. And whenever I couldn't buy anymore of his albums. That's ok, I just listened to my LPs and cassettes. Now I'm loading up on CDs. It's got everything: swing, western, honky tonk, blues and even twang(y) and "through the nose." I LOVE IT. I know better than to hope it'll come back. Because: it can NEVER be improved upon. I can live very well with what I've got. I've never seen the first thing bad written about him. He always seemed to be a very likable fella when I'd see him on TV (rarely), but we did use to get the Grand Ole Opry on Saturday nights on TV and the radio. And then there were the individual shows, like Porter, The Wilburn Brothers, and Hee Haw, etc, that he would be on.

Top Grade Honky Tonk.......2007-04-17

This is a real cracker of an album and at the price it's a true bargain. Some call Hank a Western Swing artist however I cannot agree with this moniker. He's much more in the honky tonk mould and quick listen to this album confirms such. Apart from the monster (in depth and price) Bear Family set this is the best Hank Thompson album out there. It covers his period with Capitol Records (1947 - 1961) and, while he made some excellent music after this time, he had his biggest hits with Capitol under the production guidance of Ken Nelson. This album covers just about all those hits plus a couple of Brazos Valley Boys instrumentals (which are more in the Bob Wills Western Swing mould). Hank wrote or co-wrote 12 of the numbers here and shows he was not only a great singer and arranger but a superb songwriter. Another interesting aspect to this album is the obvious development of the artist over time and the improvement in recording technology and techniques. Also, the Brazos Valley Boys were one hot band that could swing it out when required and throughout supply complex, interesting and sympathetic support. Merle Travis supplies his trademark guitar work to many of the songs and he is in fine form indeed. The CD comes with a very informative booklet and the sound/mastering is top shelf making it an essential purchase. I encourage anyone looking for an album of 50's honky tonk in the, then, more "commercial" style at an absolute bargain low price to pop this in the trolley when next ordering music from Amazon. Highly Recommended.

Great 40's and 50's Country.......2007-01-03

This is a respectable collection of popular songs by Hank Thompson and The Brazos Valley Boys, with release dates going from the 1940's to 1960. In my opinion, he hit his peak in the 60's, but this collection clearly shows the progression of early country music, in both style and lyric development. I recall Hank and his band as huge, but my view may have been skewed by my rural Texas surroundings. The later songs exhibit the honky tonk influence, which I consider the golden era of country. If you collect vintage country, this is indeed essential. I had all these on vinyl but the years took their toll, so it was great to have another chance at them.

Vintage Hank Thompson.......2006-11-10

This is a really great CD for those who appreciate the old timey country-western.............it is primarily swing and toe-tappin! If you enjoy Hank Williams, you will love this CD. I highly recommend it! I am very pleased with the CD....the fast service and the continued excellence of Amazon.....................

Unalloyed Pleasure........2007-05-15

A real 'find' this one. I bought this via its inclusion in "1001 Albums To Hear Before You Die" and its discovery, alone, justifies the purchase of the book.

Although unmistakably Indian in origin(and is indeed classified as Indian classical music), the music is, nonetheless, instantly appealing in a way that reaches beyond national boundaries. Most people would be familiar with the Indian music of Sitar and Tabla. So perhaps the most immediately striking thing is the prominence of the Kashmiri Santoor(a hammered dulcimer) and flute which, along with Guitar and Tabla weave their, at times complex and at others simple, but always gorgeous patterns together.

The music is beautifully soothing and relaxing but never threatens to fall into muzak territory, rather it has a gentle intensity which focuses the listeners attention while allowing them to be carried off to some other place...It is also very engaging and never 'difficult'.

I certainly don't consider myself any sort of an expert on Indian classical music and some will tell you that there are greater works and finer examples of the form but most people would agree that this is an excellent introduction to the genre. But regardless of category It is certainly some of the most incredible music I have heard in a long time.

Simply the Best.......2003-11-02

I am an ABCD. I used to think my parents were crazy when they tried to get me to listen to Classical Music. At the time I would have much rather listen to Hip Hop. But this one, I've been listening to everywhere, since I was in highschool. Its great car and study music. But the best part is, it prompted me to learn more about classical music, and develop my own tastes. Now I listen to original classical music, as well as fusion and remixed.

A good intro to Indian classical music; but there are better.......2003-03-10

The fourth star in this rating is as much for the historical importance of this album. Recorded in 1968, it was for many people the first introduction to Indian classical music, other than Ravi Shankar. In particular, it made Shivkumar Sharma and Hariprasad Chaurasia, then aged about 30 and on the cusp of great international careers, better known to audiences outside of India.

I find the album itself to be enjoyable enough; however, it is not the first CD I reach for when I wish to enjoy quality Indian music. The problem for me is that Indian classical music at its finest sees the musicians improvising and exploring a Rag to its logical ends. A performance of a single Rag can easily last for at least an hour or more, but none of the tracks on this CD last for more than 12 minutes. Indeed, the original album was less than 40 minutes long, owing to the technological limitations of the day. In other words, the subtleties and complexities of the classical Rag cannot be given their due in a 6 to 12 minute performance.

That being said, I still believe the perfomances are top notch and deserve listening. However, do not consider this to be the last word in Indian music.

A great introduction to Indian classical music.......2003-02-10

If you are a newbie and planning to explore Indian classical music, then start with this album!

This recording, released in 1968, is the best selling Indian classical music album ever released in India. The choice of Ragas - which represent a shepherd's journey from morning to evening - is just excellent. The three instruments - the hundred-stringed Santoor that gives sounds of water flow, the soul-stirring Flute, and the innocent Hawaian Guitar - blend seamlessly and each artist gets equal 'musical space'. Indian classical music is steeped in spirituality and this album gives a quick but very effective introduction to the ocean of Indian music, especially to the uninitiated.

In addition to the five original tracks, this CD also has three more bonus solo tracks, one for each of the three musicians, as follows:
Mishra Kirwani Dhun - Shivkumar Sharma
Bageshree - Hariprasad Chaurasia
Gara Dhun - Brijbhushan Kabra

The most interesting thing about "Call Of The Valley" is that it marked the beginning of extremely successful musical journeys for three of India's greatest instrumentalists. And each of these musicians is a pioneer in his own instrument to the extent that their names have become synonymous with the respective instruments. Shivkumar Sharma and Hariprasad Chaurasia (Shiv-Hari) have produced major Santoor-Flute duets like "Jugalbandi", "The Valley Recalls (I & II)", "Rasadhara (I & II)", as well as more than 100 solo albums each!
