Customer Reviews:

Hank certainly didn't do it this way..........2007-01-28

These are what I consider the last few good records Waylon cut before the string of bad records. In his auto biography he talks about cutting these records high as a kite on Cocaine.

Two great seventies albums.......2005-05-26

The pairing of these two albums appears a little odd but many of Waylon's seventies albums had already been released on CD. Still, both albums are well worth hearing and Waylon's fans everywhere will welcome this twofer.

The first album here (Are you ready for the country) was recorded when Waylon was at the peak of the outlaw phase of his career. Apart from the brilliant title track, it features many other outstanding songs including Can't you see (written by Toy Caldwell of the Marshall Tucker Band), MacArthur Park (an incredible version of this classic song), Couple more years (also recorded by Dr Hook at around the same time), Old friend (about Buddy Holly) and Precious memories (the gospel classic).

The second album (What goes around) was recorded just three years later but by that time Waylon's sound had changed somewhat. The style may be different but the music is still brilliant. On this album, the first five tracks are generally up-tempo while the second five are generally slower, more reflective. The album opens with I ain't living long like this (a Rodney Crowell song also recorded by Emmylou) but my favorites here are It's the world's gone crazy (the lyrics may seem crazy at first but the song makes sense if you listen to it a few times), Ivory tower and Come with me.

Most of Waylon's seventies albums are now available on CD. If you are a Waylon fan, make sure that you buy them before they go out of print. This twofer may not be the highest priority among those available but it is certainly deserving of a place in any collection of Waylon's music.

Brings back memories.......2003-11-07

It was back in the late 1970's and I was a teenager who loved to listen to Waylon. These songs are classic "outlaw" waylon at it's best. Back in the mid 1970's Waylon released "Are You Ready For The Country" continuing on in the tradition of "Ramblin' Man", "This Time", "Honky Tonk Heroes" and the other albums he had been doing since breaking free from the "Nashville" production on the earlier sessions (they were good, but sounded like all the other Country artists on RCA at the time)... Waylon however wanted to do it his way and nowhere is it more evident than on "Are You Ready For The Country".
This set begins with the rocking title cut then he eases down with "So Good Woman" which sounds like it must have been directed straight at Jessi "You know I've run around all my life/You could've done better cause you've been a good wife"
"Them Old Love Songs" is the third track and talks about someones wish to find a love "like people do in them old love songs"... I could go on and on, but one of my favorites on here is "MacArthurs Park". Waylon had done a version with a female vocalist back in the last 1970's but the Nashville people put strings, horns and flutes in it. This time Waylon did it his way, singing all the vocals and using his band with the trademark sound of Ralph Mooney's steel guitar taking front and center. There is also the tribute to Buddy Holly here called "Old Friend" among others that are just plain good music.
This CD continues with the lp "What Goes Around" which starts off with "Ain't Living Long Like This", goes into the title cut and the first four songs are toe tappers, one of the best of which is "I've Got The Train Settin' Waitin", but then it gets weird with "It's The World's Gone Crazy" ("the dancer's are dancin' alone/the sidemen all want to be frontmen and the front men all want to go home... just an example of the lyrics on that weird little tune)... Side two of that album showed a more laid back smoothe Waylon starting with "Ivory Tower" then the story song "Out Among The Stars" about a down and out young man who "can't find a job but has found a gun" and holds up a liquor store, then the classic "Come With Me"... there are more tunes here but I've hit the hilites on two of my favorite Waylon lps of all time and they've put them together on this one CD... What more could you ask for?

Two distinctly different faces of a legend.......2003-06-16

The pairing of these two pieces of Waylon's work seems rather odd. However, both are very welcome to be back in my Waylon collection after several years of being absent. "Are You Ready For The Country" is an example of Waylon's ability to capture that renegade spirit during the height of his commercial success. All of these songs are pure Waylon at his best, but his rendition of Toy Caldwell's "Can't You See" is, in this reviewer's opinion, the epitome of what the "Outlaw Movement" of the seventies was all about. Listening to "What Goes Around" takes us into a different era of Waylon's fame and legend. You can tell that his taste in material has changed, as has his delivery. Two stand out tracks on this album are "If You See Her" and "Old Love, New Eyes". Waylon was always defying anybody to label his music or pidgeonhole him as an artist. The differences in these two albums
is a testament to what made him one of the greatest recording artist in the history of country music. He could continuosly grow and expand his horizons, all the while making his fans want to ride along and listen. This collection brought back a lot of great memories for me. Thank's Amazon for offering it. And thank you Waylon, for all those years of rebellious inspiration.

Going around in very small circles - 2.5 stars.......2006-08-09

With more make up than Poison, Tuff gigged hard and almost made their mark. But for some reason they always seemed to just fall short of mark. This, their debut effort, was widely touted as destined for big things by a number of magazines at the time. And there was still a couple of years of the makeup grossout pop metal era left for them to have achieved those big things. But.. it ... just ... fizzled...out.

OK - band members were Stevie Rachelle, Jorge Desaint, Michael Lean and Todd Chase (yeah, right) and the racket they make on this slab is a generic pop metal/1991/hairspray heaven deal with many similarities to other acts of the time. Think Warrant with a slightly thougher sounding vocalist than Jani Lane. But Warrant wouldn't of done 'Spit Like This' - at least not until their third album.

Despite pop metal gross outs like "I Hate Kissing You Goodbye' which really should have you reaching for your sick bag and the attemps to get a life tunes like 'Wake Me Up' there is something to be salvaged from this album. Opener 'Ruck A Pit Bridge' snarls and sneers - it's [...] but at least tries - and track two 'The All New Generation' namechecks the gods of good time rock that these boys obviously worshipped. At least they are honest about their influences and aspirations. Other cool cuts include 'Spit Like This' and 'Good Guys Wear Black', the former again putting some anarchic sneer into the pop metal mix and the latter a bit of fun time humour. And Lonely Lucy is a cheeky rocker.

Overall this is mostly dross of the highest order, but pop metal and hair metal fans may dig some of it's tracks. And Stevie Rachelle gave good quote, so some people may of heard of him and get off on checking out some of his recorded product.

Bandwagon Metal.......2004-05-26

I really wanted to like this album. "American Hair Band" was funny, so I looked for Tuff. I thought, "Even if it's cheesy - hey, I love cheesy metal!"

But it's worse. It's boring. Even being unoriginal, it's a pale copy of the music it's imitating.

It's as though a label said "Hey, this hair metal thing is really taking off - we should get in on this and make money!" and proceeded to compile the obvious cliches of the genre without any of the heart or talent. Or the band itself said the same thing. In either case, the songs are generic with weak lyrics (for metal, even).

Writing a song about the history of rock and roll is not a good first step. Don't namecheck Skid Row, whose first album was two years prior to the *release* of this album. Seriously.

Stevie Rachelle's voice has two settings: Gravel and Plain. The plain setting is used for a range of four notes, and anything else is sung in Gravel voice. Neither setting is super good as holding a note, so the overall vocal is more like shouting. This hurts the ballads the most.

It's not all the band's fault, as the production is pretty bad - the guitar work, which is generally good, get buried in the mix along with everything else.

I don't have a personal vendetta against Tuff, and I really wanted to like this album, but it was very disappointing.

awsome glam rock.......2004-03-12

The all new generation should have been an 80's anthem song. Too bad they never been popular enough. A lot like Poison, they're still around in 2004. They still rock n' roll. I got a few albums and also one solo from Stevie Rachelle (lead singer) and they're all good rock n' roll.

what comes around, goes around.......2003-12-30

tuff, another 80's hair band; alot like poison. they had some really kickazz songs on this album "what comes around,goes around"; i dont know about any of there other stuff but this one rocked in the 80's!!!

Her Talent Does NOT Include the Beatles!.......2005-03-13

Lauren is a very talented artist, but her treatment of Beatle classics was mistreatment. Although her renditions of Beatle classics are not terrible, but they pale considerably in comparison to the Beatles' stellar treatment of their own work.

Still, one can recognize her talent and think the non-Beatle songs were the best in the collection. It's impossible to be unbiased when it comes to the Beatles, who are the best!

Distinctive covers and great original songs.......2004-10-10

Lisa wrote three of the songs here (Midlife, One day you'll know, No one but you) and filled the remainder of the album with covers of sixties pop songs, mostly Beatles songs. However, these are no ordinary covers but exquisitely arranged and performed re-interpretations. The Beatles covers are Dear Prudence, And I love her, Can't buy me love, All my loving, With a little help from my friends and I'm happy just to dance with you. The other covers are Sunshine superman (Donovan), Some kind of wonderful (Drifters) and Spooky (Classics IV). But if you're thinking you know these songs, you haven't heard these versions. A lot of thought went into the arrangements, which certainly present old songs in a new but hugely enjoyable way. Lisa's own songs are good (particularly Midlife, about growing old) but if you buy this album, it's the covers that stay in the memory longest.

Lisa acquired the services of some very talented musicians to provide the music so I'm assuming that she had established a reputation in Chicago (her base) before she got near a recording studio. There were a maximum of five musicians on any track, the complete list being Faireed Haque (guitar), Jim Guilloreto (soprano sax), Jim Cox (acoustic bass), Larry Beers (drums), Jeff Thomas (percussions), Chris Miller (viola), Phil Gratteau (drums), Ruben Alvarez (percussion), David Sanborn (alto sax), Rob Amster (acoustic bass), Steve Gillis (drums), Richie Fudoli (alto flute), Elizabeth Conant (accordion), Ekkiot Delman (guitar), Howard Levy (harmonica), Larry Gray (cello), Steve Eisen (tenor sax) and Danny Faith (talking drum).

I cannot recommend this album highly enough. It took a few plays to grow on me because some of the old songs sound so different that it took a while to appreciate the new arrangements.

Great First Album.......2002-01-31

This is one of those rare CDs that you can play all the way through and not get bored. Lisa Lauren brings some interesting insights to some Beatles' songs, and gives them new life. I defy anyone who doesn't find themselves dancing when "I'm Happy Just to Dance With You" is playing. What a great version of a lesser known Beatles song. The band she employs is good -- not intrusive, but competent, and lets her voice be the real star. This is perhaps the best CD I've bought in a long time. My only real criticism is that the few songs she's written can't quite stand up to the songs of the Beatles and Carole King. Notwithstanding that, I still give this a 5-star rating. Lisa Lauren makes Diana Krall pale in comparison. The music as performed by Lisa Lauren comes to life.

Musically Involving Performance.......1999-03-12

This is an incredible album! If you are a Beatles fan and enjoy sweet female vocals you must buy this album. Lisa puts a refreshing twist on some old Beatle favourites. This along with incredible sax performances makes for a very musically involving performance. Normally when I first play an album, I play it in the background to test the waters. But 30 seconds into this album I just had to drop everything I was doing. I just sat in the sweet spot, cranked up the volume and listened to it for the next two hours. This album joins my small collection where every track is enjoyable.

This is a must have for music lovers. For you audiophiles out there, the recording quality is excellent - large soundstage with vocals and instruments floating in space.

Lisa Lauren makes old classics classier, and then some........1999-01-12

I first heard Lisa Lauren perform " Can't Buy Me Love ", while driving through south Texas. I called the radio station the next day to find out more about this artist. If you want to hear some of the best remakes of classics hits, like the Beatles, well stay tuned. This pleasant journey begins with " Dear Prudence " stops-off at Donovan's " Sunshine Superman " and it just gets better. But one of the best is Lisa's own offering, " Midlife ". All I can say about Lisa Lauren's music is " Give Me More ". Dennis Bailey, Fort Worth, Texas
