Though the esteemed guitarist hasn't released an album since 1990--leaving his career as a recording and touring musician to study violinmaking--David Bromberg's feel for folk and blues tradition and his encyclopedic command of it remain undiminished. This is a back-to-basics affair, just vocals and guitar, as Bromberg puts his own stamp on material from seminal influences such as the Rev. Gary Davis ("I Belong to the Band," "Trying to Get Home") and Bob Dylan ("It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry"), one of the many recording artists who employed Bromberg as a sideman. Though the tricky time shifts of "Buck Dancer's Choice" show his dexterity, there isn't much showoff guitar here (and no guitar at all on the a cappella "Moonshiner" and "Lonesome Roving Wolves"). He's singing better than ever, from the falsetto on Robert Johnson's "Kind Hearted Blues" to the expressiveness of his own title track, as he sounds more than ever like one of the masters he began by trying to emulate. Accompanying the CD are notes from Bromberg that provide extensive annotation on the selection of material. --Don McLeese

Album Description

Three long-awaited words: David Bromberg's back!

Roots music fans will rejoice in the release of "Try Me One More Time," the first new CD in 17 years by guitarist/vocalist David Bromberg, a master practitioner of folk, blues, bluegrass and other musical genres. This new recording is undiluted David: one man, one acoustic guitar, and a repertoire of mostly traditional material performed with the intimate, assured touch of a musician who has nothing to prove.

Originally a "must-have" session man for everyone from Bob Dylan to Dion and subsequently a hard-touring bandleader and recording artist with an enthusiastic following, Bromberg gradually phased himself out of the continual record-tour-record cycle starting in 1980. "I got burned out," he reflects. "And I didn't want to be one of those musicians who ends up `phoning it in.' Music was too important to me to treat it that way."

So he switched his focus from performing to studying, moving to Chicago in 1980 to learn violin-making. Based in the Windy City until 2002, when he moved to Delaware to open a violin shop, Bromberg has continued to tour periodically, but has mostly stayed away from recording studios, with 1990's "Sideman Serenade" his last album until now.

On "Try Me One More Time," Bromberg harkens back to the acoustic folk and blues music of his early days on the mid-'60s Greenwich Village folk scene, a period when he guided the blind gospel-blues singer Reverend Gary Davis to concerts and churches in exchange for guitar lessons. Bromberg performs two of "the Rev's" compositions on his new CD - "I Belong to the Band" and "Trying to Get Home" - as well as songs written by Robert Johnson, Elizabeth Cotton, Tommy Johnson, Blind Willie McTell, sometime Bromberg employer Bob Dylan ("It Takes a Lot to Laugh . . ."), and songs from the traditional realm, including two exquisitely rendered instrumentals ("Buck Dancer's Choice," "Hey Bub"). The title track is Bromberg's first recording of a song he wrote more than 30 years ago.

In liner notes as conversational as his distinctive, low-key vocals, Bromberg maintains that this CD is the first record he's made where he "wasn't trying to impress anybody . . . I'm just doing the tunes." Nonetheless, the outcome can't fail to delight listeners who appreciate an understated virtuoso playing and singing the music he loves.

Having been a David Bromberg fan for 30 years now, I have seen him appear alone, with a few people,and all the way to a 10 pc+ band. This album brings David and his primo guitar and vocals back to us, full circle.
The title song,was one of the first songs David had ever written, but finally recorded and it really projects true Bromberg at his best.
If you enjoyed any of the other acoustical Bromberg CD's your going to love this one, Hey david Try This one more time for us!

5 out of 5 stars We missed you David..........2007-06-24

Please keep putting out CD's ! The wait was way too long ! The CD is Great ! You will be at a loss,if you do not buy it !

5 out of 5 stars One More Time is not enough!.......2007-06-21

One can only hope that this is the first in a new series of solo albums. More Bromberg songs, more Dylan songs, more instrumental mastery, more,more, more! I've all but worn out this CD--how long will I have to wait for more????

5 out of 5 stars Nice Try.......2007-05-30

I've seen David Bromberg twice, years ago and used to have some of his music on tape. Seventeen years is a long time to be away, but this album is great and I hope to be able to see him live again. Talented on so many instruments!

5 out of 5 stars Classic Bromberg.......2007-05-14

Great compilation of classic Bromberg. If your a Bromberg fan you'll enjoy this CD.

4 out of 5 stars A collector's item with a few problems.......2007-07-03

I enjoyed this album. I too anticipated it, and made sure that I had enough time and space (not in the car, not while I was doing something else) to listen to it. It starts well--the Donald Lawrence touch. I have become accustomed to the new studio sound that they have all been showcasing on their solo albums, and Donald catches this sound nicely. It really is not true to their live sound of many years ago, but I guess the Clark Sisters have changed with the times--in many ways. I really enjoyed the remakes--enjoyed singing along. As any tried and true fan, I had all the ad-libs and fillers down to the note. I like how the reggae beat on "World" is updated to a more contemporary reggae beat. But didn't anyone else have questions about the strange voice on "Instrument." I understand it may be Blanche from Tri-City, but why is she on here? And if she is going to be, why isn't she at least named as a guest vocalist to save me the trouble of figuring out which one of the sisters had lost it? Also, it seems that Twinkie was a bit hoarse. She wasn't soaring as she usually does with that crystal clear voice of hers. She deals well with it, but her hoarseness took away some of the "sangin' " that we are accustomed to hearing from the group. For that matter, Karen seemed to be hoding back too. Anyway, a good buy. If you're going to be a Clark Sisters connaiseur you need to get it.

5 out of 5 stars Don't Take it for granted...A Must Have!.......2007-06-20

I love it...
A CD that will inspire to change from the beginning till the End.
Got to love the Clark Sisters and their legacy.

Warning:The CD does have it technical issues like Karen's 'It's Not Over' because you can tell the difference between studio and LIVE...Overall great buy!

5 out of 5 stars AND THE WINNER IS>>........2007-06-17

They have to get a grammy for this. I understand why is been in the top CD's since it came out. My favovite is 'Livin'. It's one of the new tracks, and they are sangin for Lord! I enjoyed them doing the old songs too. I love "Blessed and Highly Favored" THe orginal cut i think was on Twinkie Solo CD. Between The clark sisters, and J. Moss they could put on a Jamin concert. That would be a blessed concert. If you a true fan of the music you will love this CD. They all look good and sound good, give them the Grammy please!

5 out of 5 stars Amazing!.......2007-06-13

I bought this album the very day it came out! This album is a masterpiece. Blessed and Highly Favor is my favortie song on the album. I really like how they all did there thing on each song.. Good luck to you ladies.. And now I see there's a live dvd.. OMG IM IN HEAVEN! I just ordered that. Can't wait for this to be released.. Now I can get the visual to them singing all of these songs from the live album! PRAISE GOD!

5 out of 5 stars The Clark Sisters CD is breath taking !!!.......2007-05-31

Have you ever had a CD that you where casually listening to all of a sudden stop you dead in your tracks? That is what this CD will do to you.

I was nonchalantly listening and then the song "Instrument" came on then everything stopped and up went the praise. And if that was not enough, the following song "You Heard Me Cry" just floored me.

The whole album is well put together with the old and the new. The sisters take turns taking the lead on specific songs which really accentuates how talented each sister really is. "One Last Time" (Live)should be a CD that you will play for years to come.

If you have never really listened to the Clark Sisters before I would advise you to listen to the samples and then order/buy it immediately. You'll be glad you did!

3 out of 5 stars No Fistful of Ennio.......2007-01-31

Ennio Morricone wrote great soundtrack music, that's for certain. But no retrospective of his work is complete without the inclusion of more than one lone example from the three mid-60's "spaghetti westerns" he scored for Sergio Leone and Clint Eastwood. Anyone familiar with the UNITED ARTISTS label LPs of "Fistful Of Dollars," "For A Few Dollars More" and "The Good, The Bad And The Ugly" might agree with this.

As for what's here-- most of ENNIO MORRICONE * FILM MUSIC Volume 1 is forgettable incidental stuff. Except for "The Battle Of Algiers (Theme)," the opening and closing tracks are the best. They bookend what turns out to be a disappointing collection, lacking in both liner notes and the brilliance Morricone demonstrated over a 30 year span.

5 out of 5 stars I would call some of these pieces "newage"..........2006-08-02

Moscow Farewell is definitely my pick of the lot. Sacco And Vanzetti was a pleasant surprise once I listened to it a couple of times. It is lively and could be played on a wedding dance floor for the whole family. This is great album to listen to while in bed!

5 out of 5 stars Simply a 'Must Purchase' for those with a passing interest in Morricone's work.......2005-09-13

Arguably one of the greatest (if not the greatest) Film composer of the 20th Century. Not only has he scored some of the most influential and instantly recognisable pieces of film music during his roughly 50 years of composing atmospheric film scores. Whether he's providing the spooky dramatics for a spaghetti Western" or constructing the ingenious use of classical arrangements of brooding cinematic pieces, he has (in most cases) consistently delivered contemporary music that has provided the atmospheric foil for the picture in question. And with a collection of musical influences that were as far ranging as: classical, jazz, pop, rock, electronic, avant-garde, and Italian music, he is able to deliver a variety of film scores that are as diverse as they are beautifully composed.

This compilation is collection of some of the seminal, gritty, theatrical, and dramatic film music, that would go on to define his career, via reflective orchestration and memorable motifs, ingenious use of diverse arrangements and instrumentation. There is a majority of his highlights on this disc, with the magnificently brooding "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly" opening the disk. what follows is a truly sublime collection of music that is in parts truly beautiful and utterly atmospheric, so tracks such as "Once Upon A Time In The West", benefit from the haunting melodies and stirring volins, that are possibly more in tone with orchestrated music than contemporary music. Or the quiet piano introspection and melancholic arrangements that make up "Moscow Farewell", are simply deserving of being placed amongst the finest soundtrack compositions ever. "Dedicace", contains some of the most litting melodies in recent memory, impossibly sad and affecting, it is a haunting bittersweet composition that is both organic & reflective, over which the volins provide the musical backdrop. And that's without the mention of "For Love One Can Die", the autumnal orchestrated track, that pulls from Italian sweeping gangster original film scores, and makes a hushed and dissonant recording, that feels like a sublime throwback to the mafia-related shenanigans of 60's chicago via the use of restrained piano, that really is quite lovely and adds substantial weight to the composition.

If you are looking for a Ennio Morricone compilation....short of buying a boxset, you'd be hard pressed in beating this for value for money. It's a fantastic summary of his work and covers a fair amount of material. And is the perfect introduction to his work, (especially if you just want to buy one compilation of his work). This is highly recommended to fans both old and new, and is boosted by the compilers making a great job of the selection. So if you don't want to have to splash out on an expensive disk, to hear his influential work...this really is the first place you should start.

WANTED.

5 out of 5 stars A collection of Morricone's most popular and entertaining.......2005-07-31

Volume I of III, of this 'best of' Morricone trilogy, is the best of the three. This volume consists of music that can be listened to alone and socially, with some of the most catchy and minimalist rhythms you'll ever hear. You'll listen to this album and wonder what movie you've heard that song from before(Morricone's canon being primarily for film scores). If you're hear because you're trying to get the song from a movie, and you've never really heard of Morricone before, then you've luckily stumbled upon some of the best music I've ever heard. Or, if you're a Morricone fan and you'er looking for a good compilation, since Morricone has done too many film scores to even possibly own them all, then this is good to have. I wouldn't really reccommend Volume II and III unless you're looking or a very comprehensive collection of Morricone, since Volume I seems to me to carry his most absolute best. Definetely buy this album, it's very good.

2 out of 5 stars Not My Style.......2007-05-11

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!

5 out of 5 stars Rockin' Western Collection.......2006-08-28

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.

5 out of 5 stars 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.

4 out of 5 stars 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."

5 out of 5 stars A great follow-up.......2003-08-29

This is the second collection by SilvaScreen, who are also responsible for "The Wild West: The Essential Western Film Music Collection" (see my review). And it's just as good as the first. 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.

The "Golden Age" referred to here spans The Jazz Singer and the advent of the talkies to the death throes of the old studio system in the 1960s. So vast was the era's musical landscape that even this 42-track, double-disc anthology can't encompass all its peaks. Not surprisingly, the bulk of this collection originated with the Tiffany's of the screen musical, M-G-M, a body of work whose riches here encompass both pop-cultural bedrock ("Over the Rainbow," "Singin' in the Rain," "There's No Business Like Show Business," etc.) and some less familiar, if equally delightful star turns: Clark Gable gamely "Puttin' On the Ritz"; the sassy, 1948 original of "The Lady Is a Tramp" by Lena Horne; and a loopy duet of "Baby, It's Cold Outside" by Esther Williams and Ricardo Montalban. Fred Astaire's elegant, epochal reign at RKO and M-G-M is represented by "Night and Day," "Let's Face the Music and Dance," and three others, while Metro mainstays Gene Kelly and Judy Garland share equal time and billing. It's not perfect--Cagney's "Yankee Doodle Boy" and/or some Sinatra seem more logical choices than the odd "bonus" duet of Casablanca's "As Time Goes By" and "Lara's Theme" from Dr. Zhivago that close out disc one--but it's a stunning, surprisingly comprehensive primer on the Hollywood film musical nonetheless. --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars They were right--there is NO business like the show business they did way back when !!!.......2006-11-18

Everything that happens in life
Can happen in a show
You can make 'em laugh
You can make 'em cry
Anything
Anything can go....

The clown with his pants falling down
Or the dance that's a dream of romance
Or the scene where the villain is mean
That's entertainment!

The lights on the lady in tights
Or the bride with the guy on the side
Or the ball where she gives him her all
That's entertainment!

The plot and the hot simply teeming with $ex
A gay divorcee who is after her ex
It could be Oedipus Rex
Where a chap kills his father
And causes a lot of bother

The clerk who is thrown out of work
By the boss who is thrown for a loss
By the skirt who is doing him dirt

The world is a stage,
The stage is a world of entertainment!

This two CD set amply proves that the musical melodies and lyrics from the golden age of the Hollywood musical remain unsurpassed to this day. This generous two CD set offers 42 incredible songs from Hollywood classic musicals. Most of these fine numbers are indeed from MGM, as Amazon correctly notes; but there are some RKO numbers and even a little from Warner Brothers. Thank goodness, though, that most of these songs came from MGM movies; MGM was the only studio that could boast that it truly had "more stars than there are in the heavens."

I love so many songs on these two CDs. Of course, there's the unforgettable classic "Over The Rainbow" sung by Judy Garland; she also performs "Easter Parade" and "Get Happy" on this two CD set and she carries most of the tune for "I Got Rhythm" even though Mickey Rooney helps her a little. I love "Baby, It's Cold Outside" for its' romantic overtones; and Lena Horne's "The Lady Is A Tramp" is flawless! We also get a rare chance to hear Clark Gable sing in "Puttin' On The Ritz;" and Bing Crosby's "Going Hollywood" may be brief but it's a fun song anyway.

There are two "bonus" tracks on the first CD: "As Time Goes By" from Casablanca and "Lara's Theme" from Doctor Zhivago. "As Time Goes By" is a good choice; it is another unsurpassed classic song that brings back memories and touches even the hardest of hearts. "Lara's Theme," however, is from the mid 1960s and I don't consider this period to be part of the "golden age" of Hollywood musicals.

The liner notes are excellent and they offer wonderful photos of the stars as well. The cover art is well done and the reverse cover art tells which movie each song is from and who is performing each song. Moreover, the quality of the sound is excellent especially when you consider that these numbers were recorded quite a few decades ago.

In short, this superlative two CD highlights the glory of the Hollywood musical when a certain type of sophistication dominated professional movie production. I highly recommend this CD for fans of Hollywood musicals, classic pop vocals and fans of the artists and actors who perform on this two CD set.

5 out of 5 stars One of the best cds I ever bought. .......2006-06-07

What an amazon collection of songs! This is bar none my favorite cd just because of the variety and the quality of songs on it. I love music from this era, and this cd is the perfect companion to my life. Love it! Buy it, you won't regret it for a moment!

1 out of 5 stars Never Sounded Better.......2006-03-16

Apart from the great selection of soundtracks, what really makes this compilation top value is the quality of the sound processing. Executed with finesse, these tracks sound better than when first issued and many are unedited, fuller versions: like "Singing In The Rain", for example. Throw in the great price, and this double disc set is a "must have" for all lovers of classic movie music.

It was once said by the songwriters of that era - "There are two artists you want perform your songs on the big screen, they are Fred Astaire and Judy Garland they sing it just the way we wrote it, for which you will have a guaranteed hit on your hands"...well, this collections certainly has some merit to that statement...because with Judy Garland and Fred Astaire performing seven songs each, there must be something to it.

This collection of musicals still has the magic that we remember from those bygone years...but as long as we have the labels and networks who play and show these wonderful films of yesteryear, they will never be forgotten...hats off to Rhino Records, George Feltenstein (producer) and Doug Schwartz (engineer) and Turner Classic Movies for sharing those 42 selections from 42 films...celebrating decades of the tunes and artists that gave it their all...from what it commonly called "The Hollywood Dream Factory"...The Golden Age of Hollywood Musicals is still among us...gotta love it!

Debbie Gibson never recorded anything as sexy as Britney Spears's white-funk smoker "...Baby One More Time." Unfortunately, neither does the 17-year-old Spears's debut album contain anything else that remotely approaches that instant hit single. A few of the disc's cuts are pleasantly catchy, but too much of its space is given over to icky ballads ("E-Mail My Heart"?) and other unconvincing moves such as the dancehall-lite "Soda Pop." --Rickey Wright

5 out of 5 stars Britney Spears Baby One More Time.......2007-07-08

I used to have this CD, than I traded it to someone, now I have my own again that I found at a thrift store... one problem: CD plays fine on regular stereo but when I went to put it in my computer to get songs from it for my MP3 Player, it was skipping like mad! Now I know never to buy second-hand Cds even if they are cheap, and this one definetly was cheap! @ least I have $20 some dollars that I don't know what to do with, when I go to a doctor's app that I have on the 16th of this month, I'll just buy a new one. Anyhow, this CD is awesome otherwise, Brit did prettty darn good being as this was her first album. Favorite songs are: ...baby one more time, (you drive me) crazy, sometimes, soda pop, i will be there, i will still love you, thinking about you, and the beat goes on. Gr8 job on your first debute album Britney... although I'm still kind of mad that I have to replace this YET AGAIN, I still highly recommend this album!

4 out of 5 stars 3'5 Stars - Britney's Debut Isn't Bad At All.......2007-05-19

No matter what you think of Britney Spears now, after scandals, wild partying, head shaving and marriage she was quite good when she started off. A innocent 18 year old girl that did catchy teen-pop without much fuss. This, her debut album debuted at #1 at the charts and became the best selling debut album for a female artist aswell as staying on the album charts for over 2 years. Britney Didn't have much of an impact of the actual songs, but with the help of the Swedes from Cheiron, (Max Martin and co) the result was great and she scored with several of the singles here, including the title track that became a chart topper on both sides of the atlantic and in many other places around the world aswell. No matter how you put it or think of her, this album was a success and some of the songs here are irressistable pop songs penned by Max Martin and his friends, Martin won awarded songwriter of the year and Britney Spears became a top notch star in no time.

The album starts with the huge world wide smash "Baby One More Time", no need to go into further in detail on that one, but it was one of the best selling singles of that year and became her "Anthem". Another Martin song called "You Drive Me Crazy" reached the yop 10 and was also a catchy uptempo pop song. Famous Swedish songwriter Jörgen Elofsson wrote "Sometimes" a pop ballad with great hook and melody, the song was big in Europe but only peaked at #21 at the US chart. "Soda Pop" is dancehall influenced and feels a bit out of placed here. More Swedish songwriting on the midtempo "Born to Make You Happy" which was also a successful single, but for some reason they prefered releasing the somehwat sappy ballad "From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart" in the Us instead, reaching place #14. Another meliodic pop song with good hook/melody called "I Will Be There" is up next. "I Will Still Love You" features singer Don Philip that sounds like Brian Littrell from Backstreet Boys. It's a decent song nonetheless. Two forgettable songs comes next called "Thinking About You" and "E-Mail My Heart" then the closer, the obligatory cover of Sonny & Cher's "The Beat Goes On" arrives which is the worst song of the album. On the European version there were three more songs included, "Deep in My Heart", "I'll Never Stop Loving You" and "Autumn Goodbye". Since most songs are just pop songs without very deep lyrics, I didn't go into detail what they dealt about since it shouldn't be too hard to figure that out in the first place.

Overall, Britney Spears debut is strong and it got what a good pop album should have, nice sing-a-long pop songs that are meliodic with good hooks. The lyrics may be a little superficial at times but that's beyond the point since it offers what it should. Looking back in time, this sounds like ages ago and ALOT happened to her and the music world since, but let's just judge this album for what it is and for what it got to offer. Having said that, it's more then a decent album, 3'5 stars is the final verdict and a recommended album if you love good and simple pop.

4 out of 5 stars not bad.......2006-11-03

Yes, it's hard to believe someone like me would enjoy Britney Spears ...Baby One More Time album. I guess I just like the bubblegum melodies and the pretty face of Britney. Say what you will about Britney (which is a lot, mostly negative) but her musical talent wasn't nearly as bad as people thought. If it was, I wouldn't like this album after all these years.

Britney has a family now, which means Britney probably won't have the urge to repeat the innocent teenage atmosphere of this album ever again. But remember this album.

4 out of 5 stars She was born to make us happy........2006-08-01

Britney Spears's debut disc ...Baby One More Time has to be one of the best bubble gum, senseless, and fun albums ever by this arrogant, ungrateful pop princess. Forget about what she looks and sounds like now, on her debut she is cool, surprisely good singer, and has the most catchiest songs ever. Standout tracks include: Born to Make you Happy, Sometimes, From the Bottom of my Broken Heart, Thinkin' About You, E-Mail my Heart, and of course that damn ...Baby One More Time. On the song Soda Pop she sounds and belts like Christina Aguilera, who knew? Ok the songwriting is so childish but hey this was popular back then so don't blame me guys! Britney had real potential back then, too bad all that cigarette smoking, late night partying and destructive behavior shot her voice to hell. Oh well at least we can remember how "normal and virginal" she was oh so long ago. Enjoy!

4 out of 5 stars Engaging debut album.......2006-07-09

Britney Spears became a pop phenomenom in 1998 with her No. 1 debut single "...Baby One More Time." In January 1999 her first album of the same name was released and became one of the top-selling records of all time, and deservedly so. Though Spears does not possess much vocal power, her unique, sexy delivery and trademark growling made her instantly recognizable on radio. ...Baby One More Time is, of course, THE teen pop album of the decade, perhaps even the century; Britney Spears and her many, many promoters and marketing teams definitely did their best work here to make the pop sensation memorable and lasting. From the Grammy-nominated opener "...Baby One More Time," a pop music classic, to the steady groove on "U Drive Me Crazy," to the highly entertaining "Soda Pop" (Spears actually sounds her best on this song) and smooth delivery on "Born To Make You Happy," Britney has delivered a classic of the bubblegum era. Sure, it's nothing introspective or eclectic, but ...Baby One More Time isn't meant to be anything ground breaking or historic, just pure fun, which it is. Despite the many detractors of Spears and her music today (mainly angry that a simple pop star became such a huge, infamous and phenomenal success, rivaling classic acts from decades and decades ago), there is no doubt that ...Baby One More Time is a record that rocked.

4 out of 5 stars Barry Williams 'One Hit Wonders' IS GREAT..........2007-06-13

I haven't heard most of these songs in years...The CD is great. I listen to it mostly everyday....and its good to see BARRy WILIAMS face on the cover...

Thanks....

5 out of 5 stars One Hit Wonders.......2007-03-09

This album was a bit like attending a class reunion. The songs you thought were your favorites have lost a bit of their luster and those you didn't particularly care for now are surprisingly touching. The music hasn't changed so it must be the beholder? In the 70's "Please Come to Boston" was painful to experience; now it's like an old friend. "My Maria" has become a trigger to all sorts of memories. I wonder why I didn't think about it over the years. Try this album--it's a time machine.

4 out of 5 stars So nostalgic.......2007-01-09

This is a great CD and brought back lots of memories. A few songs where we hit the skip button, but overall a feel good compilation for those of us in our 40's now. (ouch, I know) I would definitely recommend it.

4 out of 5 stars Brings Back the Memories.......2006-09-10

This Cd is really good, it is well worth getting.The music of the 70's is really good for family listening and it is nice to be able to play it with family.Kids nowadays like newer music but this CD relates to now generation too as alot of kids nowadays are listening to the 70's music and think it is great, my kids are 14 and 16 and even they love it. It is well worth checking out and I know I am very happy with it. If you are a music fan you will be too.Hearing Vicki Lawrence sing The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia was something that brought back memories of being in high school for me and hearing it on my schoolbus. Wow!!!! I am very impressed with the CD.

5 out of 5 stars NOT ENOUGH STARS CAN ACCURATELY EXPRESS THE FEEL OF THIS ALBUM HERE.......2007-01-31

billy stewart is just the man!!!!! i had the double album and like a dummy i left it in the sun!!!! never have i felt such woe!!!! i had to get this cd!!!! everything on here is absolutely FANTASTIC!!!! i think that there should be a written law that no matter if ya wanna or not, ONE SHOULD NOT REMAKE A BILLY STEWART SONG!!!! no one, and i mean absolutely NO ONE that i have heard remake his stuff has done the man justice. i so hate that he was killed the way he was. i wonder what he would've done in the progression of the 70s. shoot, i wonder what he would've done in the 80s.......especially the early 80s. he will never be forgotten here........best believe that. why? well, listen to the doggone album and find out now!!!!

4 out of 5 stars The Long-Forgotten Motor Mouth.......2006-04-11

To say that Billy Stewart epitomized soul music in the mid 1960s is probably equivalent to saying that Johnny Cash epitomized country pop during the 60s as a whole.

It is also ironic to me that his best charted attempts reached only 26 & 24 on the "Hot 100" charts. While "Summertime" typified his style, sonically "I Do Love You", & "Sitting In The Park" are unbeatable in terms of actually letting the sea roll & drown you in the essence of the music.

This piece features all of his known & (obviously, to some) a few of his little-known sides. I recommend it to any one who is a collector, although there are a couple of packages out there for less.

5 out of 5 stars Great Chi-town soul.......2006-01-13

Billy Stewart brought a unique vocal style to the Chess soul roster. Chess is often overlooked when great 60s soul is considered, but in fact they had a great team of writers, producers, musicians and singers, and put out side after side of great soul masterpieces. Billy Stewart was one of their most consistant artists, and covered a wide range of styles. Anyone who has a deep appreciation of 60s soul will treasure this collection. This collection, mastered early in the digital era, lacks some punch, but the sound is consistant, and the selection of songs superb. I would like to see MCA/Chess do an expanded and upgraded collection, but until that happens, this is the choice. The Millenium Collection sounds much better, but only contains 11 songs. Believe me, that is not enough.

5 out of 5 stars Such a gifted performer; one wonders what might have been.......2005-06-25

Like Little Willie John and Jesse Belvin before him, Billy Stewart remains a largely unknown and vastly underrated figure in the history of R&B. Billy Stewart was discovered by the legendary Bo Diddley who was so impressed by his ability to play the piano that he asked Billy to join his band back in 1956. Diddley even got Stewart a recording contract with his record label Chess and Billy recorded "Billy's Blues". That one went virtually unnoticed and Billy Stewart would not venture back into the studio for another seven years.
In my opinion, "One More Time" is and always has been the best Billy Stewart collection available. For when Billy resumed recording at Chess in 1962 he made several outstanding and really unique records. Most oldies fans will probably recall a couple of Billy's earliest hits including "I Do Love You" and the magnificent "Sitting In The Park" from the golden year 1964.
But Billy wanted to appeal to a wider audience and was willing to take chances to achieve that goal. In 1966 he recorded the LP
"Billy Stewart Teaches Old Standards New Tricks". The first single released from that album was Billy's rollicking interpretation of the George Gershwin classic "Summertime". I think Ol' George would have approved. That tune would go on to become one of the surprise hits of 1966. It was dynamite! "One More Time" offers the album version of that song which is nearly five minutes long. The follow-up single to "Summertime" was Billy's remake of the great Doris Day hit "Secret Love". I have always enjoyed that one as well. Billy Stewart had about a dozen songs appear on the Billboard Hot 100 between 1962 and 1969. Of the songs you are probably not familiar with I would recommend the uptempo "Because I Love You" as well as "Sugar and Spice", a tune that would remind you quite a bit of Marvin Gaye's "Pride and Joy". This should not be surprising as Marvin and Billy worked together frequently in the Washington D.C. area in the late 50's and early 60's.
"One More Time" offers the listener a nice retrospective on the tragically short career of this talented artist. In January 1970, Stewart's car ran off a road in North Carolina and plunged into a river killing him and three members of his band.
Billy Stewart was not a particularly prolific recording artist.
He much preferred performing "live" and devoted most of his energy to that. Although we can never know, Billy Stewart most likely would have wound up pursuing a career in jazz. He possessed all the attributes of a great jazz artist. If you have never heard him sing anything but his signature song "Summertime" you owe it to yourself to give this disc a listen. You will not be disappointed. Highly recommended.

4 out of 5 stars Billy Stewart (Great Vocals).......2004-12-30

This great singer was slightly ahead of my time but I saw him live my very first concert at age 10 and boy could he sing. There are about 5 songs on this CD which bring back memories of that show and beleive me his live vocals were even better than the recordings. Very nice CD.
