Elizabeth Cook's cornbread-and-cracklings approach to modern country music isn't everybody's cup of homebrew. But her backwoods lineage is genuine: her daddy learned to play doghouse bass in a Georgia prison band, doing 11 years for running moonshine. And there are plucky moments--especially on "Sometimes It Takes Balls to Be a Woman," where she sounds like she could be the Coal Miner's Daughter's feminist grandkid. On this, Cook's fourth album, producer Rodney Crowell knows how to frame her as both authentic and hip, bringing alt-country prince Bobby Bare Jr. on board for the affecting mountain love song "Rest Your Weary Mind," and elsewhere imbuing her original shuffles and ballads with chickin'-pickin' guitars, languid fiddle solos, and even a jew's harp on the hoedown-ish "Times Are Tough in Rock 'n' Roll" ("All my feelings, all my fears/Were confirmed with Britney Spears.") There's a surprise around every corner--"He Got No Heart" is a sassy throwback to Wanda Jackson, while "Mama's Prayers" evokes the threadbare innocence of Iris DeMent, and "What Do I Do" finds Cook's twangy soprano leaping into the honky-tonk stratosphere. But get ready for her cover of the Velvet Underground's "Sunday Morning," which she dang near makes her own. Then again, that's something you might expect from a girl with an affinity for vintage cocktail dresses who still insists on baiting her own hook. --Alanna Nash

5 out of 5 stars how country music should be.......2007-07-08

As I listened to Elizabeth Cook's new album Balls, I wanted to open the window and scream, "Why doesn't country radio play her songs?" I love country music that sounds authentic, the kind that one has to search the internet to find. Cook's music definitely fits the bill. I really appreciated the blend of different old-time sounds: bluegrass, rockabilly and traditional country. Cooks seamlessly blends the three styles while giving it her own unique twist.

Balls is a stellar album from an undervalued singer. All eleven tracks are fantastic and make for great car-ride play. Not only does Cook possess a sweet soprano voice similar to Alison Krauss, but great songwriting ability as well. On the opening track, "Times are Tough in Rock n' Roll," a bluegrass-flavored tune, Cooks makes her disapproval with the current state of pop music known loudly and clearly. "Sometimes It Takes Balls to Be a Woman" is a rousing feminist anthem with a rockabilly sound. "He Got No Heart" blasts a lover with the searing line: "I'd shoot him down if I knew where to aim."

Perhaps one day country radio will wake up and discover Elizabeth Cook is the real deal: a traditional country singer with soul, and a songwriter with much to say.

This is what country should sound like. Miss Cook has 3 cds now and every one is great. Why haven't I heard her on country music stations? She is far better than the majority of country "stars" today.

5 out of 5 stars Back To Country Basics.......2007-05-30

I am a country music LOVER! I love everyone from Loretta to Gretchen but I have a new LOVE with Elizabeth Cook. This album is getting country back to its roots in the likes of Dolly Parton and Tammy Wynette. If you love country music you will not be sorry with the BALLS album. GET SOME BALLS!!!

5 out of 5 stars Cookin'.......2007-05-28

"Balls" is Cook's finest record to date. Following the excellent "This Side Of The Moon" with a collection of up-tempo shuffles, wry observances and heartfelt ballads, "Balls" delivers on all fronts. No need for EC to skim the surface of her rural upbringing by talking about "muddin'" and "hick towns" and all of the transparent Music Row nonsense that passes for Country music these days. Cook is the genuine article, and her songs ring simple and true.

"Rest Your Weary Mind" is a meditation on helping her man decompress after a hard day of Life. Sung as a duet with Bobby Bare, Jr., Cook's refrains provide soothing balm to Bare's laments. Conway and Loretta never did it any better.

"Down Girl" is a snaphot of a melancholy friend's marital woes, and the stark production and quiet mood give it a lullaby feel. Beautiful.

"Gonna Be" and "Times Are Tough In Rock and Roll" are clever, light-hearted romps through the pleasures and pains of being on "the ladder", but only a rung or two up, detailing life on the road and at home for an indie artist.

"Momma's Prayers" reveals a sentiment Hallmark only wishes they could put into words.

Backed by roots rock guitar ace (and husband) Tim Carroll and the cream of Nashville's roots session players including guitar masters Kenny Vaughan and Richard Bennett, Cook's vocals are sure and plaintive, sassy and seductive. Producer Rodney Crowel kept a light touch on the proceedings, allowing the songs and the players to meet at the point of "just enough" - nothing here sounds like a demo or a New Country polished cliche.

This kind of real music is out there, despite the major labels best efforts to ignore it (see "Oh, Brother Where Art Thou?"). If you are just getting hip to EC, check out all of her albums. Now that Rolling Stone, CBS Sunday Morning, AT&T Blue Room, and Dwight Yoakam are on board, it might be too late to say "I knew her when...", but Cook is that rare new friend that sounds like an old friend. Make yourself at home, put this record on.

You can tell a lot about a band by the company it keeps. Simple Plan's close chums include Good Charlotte and Blink 182, giving one a fair hint of the sound the group's debut, though, judging by song titles like "I'm Just a Kid," "The Worst Day Ever," and "God Must Hate Me," it's clear these Canadian pop-punkers are aiming for a younger demographic still. Ignore the bikini-clad babes that festoon the sleeve--there's none of Blink 182's smutty double-entendres here. Frontman Pierre Bouvier writes about skipping school, crashing dad's car, and lusting after girls that don't know he exists. "Every day," he sob, "is the worst day ever." The music itself is far from glum. "I'd Do Anything" is a beaming Green Day-style chugger, while "When I'm With You" is a tale of obsession and heartbreak that owes more to the Go-Go's than Rancid. Seasoned punk fans will be put off by the excessive juvenilia, but the new wave should lap this up. --Louis Pattison

3 out of 5 stars Music without compromise.......2007-05-02

If the radio hits "I'm Just A Kid" and "Perfect" don't instantly thrash you in the face with the entire theme of this album when they first reach your ears, it seems nothing could. Both albums from Simple Plan, the Canadian quartet who have slammed their way into the hearts of thousands of young listeners, have a very adolescent feel, even more so than bands like Good Charlotte or Linkin Park. As countless commentators have pointed out, they're by no means emo or hardcore--but they must be accepted for what they are, not run over for what they aren't.

From budding crushes gone wrong ("When I'm With You", "I'd Do Anything", "Addicted") to parental conflicts ("One Day" and "Perfect") and everything in between, Simple Plan definitely appeal to the youngest audience possible--or at least the youngest listeners can be when they start developing individual tastes in music. One look at the CD's cover seems to tell you what fantasies were swirling in these pop-punkers' minds, but one listen to the actual songs proves that not even early Blink 182's slapstick act can stand up to these guys. You simply can't tell them to act their ages.

But does this blueprint work when put into action? Past a few mediocre songs and vocals that can get annoying, ultimately, it does. Surprisingly, the track that best shows what these rockers are capable of isn't one that voices any tween frustrations, but rather a catchy one praising the singer's one-of-a-kind girlfriend: "My Alien", in which frontman Pierre Bouvier claims that "she has two arms to hold me / And four legs two wrap around me" over a catchy, munching guitar beat.

As a start their debut proves that they can not only produce memorable riffs and tunes that are perfect to sing along with, but its apt title proves that they can deliver energetic music without compromise, despite a theme that isn't nearly as perfected or as universally approved of as that of their peers.

1 out of 5 stars Zero Stars Suckers!.......2006-12-30

College Kid (20 yrs old)
Sorry, don't have password

Will somebody tell me why this band is still in existence? I mean c'mon is this what people call music? This crap isn't even close, all it is is a bunch of whiny men (I use that term very losely) complaining about how much their lives sucked in high school. Let me tell you somethin' a**holes, there are a lot of kids today who've had to go through more pain than you could ever dream of going through. I had a very happy childhood, so this isn't about my personal life. I know kids that have dealt with horrible things, yet have come out stronger and better and still don't complain. It makes me sick to think that people actually feel sorry for these gutless losers. I wonder if Pierre's parents forgot to circumcise him, maybe that's why he sounds sexually frustrated.

Seriously, how can anybody like these losers. Here's the lyrics to one of their songs:
I'm just a kid
my life is a nightmare
nobody cares tonight (AW, poor baby, do you want your mommy now, jackass)
And I don't give a s**t if these lyrics aren't correct to all you adolescent peabrains who reviewed before. I am fed up with babies like these imbeciles getting attention for their "traumatic childhoods" when there are kids constantly being abused, thrown around from home to home, and treated like animals every day. You think because a pretty girl didn't want to go out with you was so traumatic, you're entitled to everyone's sympathy. Here's my advice: F**K OFF! Btw, at least your parents halfway cared about you, you ungrateful, spineless bastards.

P.S. By the way, for all you SP lovin' morons who think you're so cool because they are "heavy" or "rock hard": you're not. My Pantera CD's can and always will blast this band right off the planet. Think I'm playin', see for yourself, idiots. SP wouldn't know what heavy is to save their lives. It is time for good music like Pantera, Metallica, Stone Sour, Black Sabbath, Demon Hunter, Breaking Benjamin, Tool, AIC, etc. and individuals with talent to make headway again. HAve a nice life, babies.

1 out of 5 stars Enough is Enough!.......2006-11-27

I respect people's own opinions of what they like and don't like. But seriously, folks, stop comparing this to blink 182. I am so sick of blink being categorized with simple plan, good charlotte, and sum 41. Blink 182 had to work through a lot of crap for 7 years before they finally got to make it this big. All these new bands did was cash in on other band's success.

I know that blink is not the most punk band out there, but they never reached this kind of a poppy mess. Every single song sounds the same. It sounds to me like they took All The Small Things (probably blink's crappiest, poppiest song ever), made it more poppy, and repeated that for 12 tracks.

And I wouldn't be as mad if they would just be labelled differently. Even though blink's 1999-2003 albums were mislabelled, they EARNED the punk label early in their career, back when they produced good NOFX and descendents style albums. Even then, they had a distinctive sound that set them apart from other bands of the time. That's another thing that bothers me. All of these "pop-punk" bands now sound the same.

If you want some good punk or pop-punk music, try blink's stuff from 1992-1997. Even better, get into the real punk bands like The Sex Pistols, The Descendents, Anti-Flag, and NOFX.

1 out of 5 stars please note all the five-star reviews by kids.......2006-09-06

Remember the style of music that came out in the late 70's called Punk?

The pioneers of this type of music were bands such a Clash, The Sex Pistols, The Ramones and the Talking Heads. The style becamse somewhat funk-influenced to the gut-wrentching hardcore metal influenced sounds of The Dead Kennedies and Ministry. Even Social Distortion had their own little sound to offer. This is how it went through the 80's.

Yet, after the who Nirvana-mania that saved music from Whitesnake and Warrent, Punk, as well as many other sounds, seemed lost until...

Green Day comes around with "Dookie." This continued the punk sound into what we know today.

So in the words of Oasis: "Where did it all go wrong."

It's not that this sounds on it's own is bad. When Blink 182 first came out, they had a lot of fun to offer. But gawd, where do we draw the line? After that, we had ( in no particular order) Sum 41, New Found Glory, My Chemical Romance, Showoff, and jeez, I could go on forever. They all sound so much alike. Still they were once tolerable. But with simple plan, (sigh), enough is enough. I can't even tell the difference sometimes between these guys and Bowling For Soup. And I don't easily confuse bands.

Really, though, these guy call themselves Punk. But last time I checked, Punk was about rebellion, Anarchy, disatisfaction with where humanity is going, all that stuff. Ex Sex Pistols "Anarchy In The UK" or Ramones "I'm Against It." Now Listen to some of the titles off this: "I'm Just A Kid," "God Must Hate Me," "I'd Do Anything." Difference? You'd have to be blind not to see one. These guys have jumped on the "poser" bandwagon that every other "punk" band on a major label has jumped on, and thus, mainstream punk is doing the same thing heavy Metal is.

5 out of 5 stars An awesome CD.......2006-09-01

This is one of the best albums I have ever heard. There's no songs on here that I don't like. All of them are great. Especially I'm Just a Kid, I'd Do Anything, and Perfect. I reccomend this to anyone who likes bands such as Yellowcard, The All-American Rejects, and blink-182 or anyone who is looking for some good music to listen too.

I love this duo album I own both seperately on records. Great match

5 out of 5 stars Great deal for Dolly.......2007-04-10

Two of Dolly's long lost (and poppiest) albums finally make it onto CD. The 2 on 1 thing is a great deal as both albums ran under 35 minutes and I hope there are many more to follow. More importantly, the remastering is excellent and the sleeve notes include the front and back covers of both albums along with informative essays.

As I said, there are many Parton albums that have yet to see a CD release which is quite disgraceful and I really hope that along with the 3 UK 2 on 1's and the recent reissues in the States of 'Jolene' and 'Coat Of Many Colours' will come much more of Dolly's early 70's to mid-80's work.

Can I have a remaster of 'Here You Come Again', please. I missed the Buddha late 90's version!

5 out of 5 stars Classic Metal.......2007-01-26

This is by far the best Accept album as far as I'm concerned. Balls To The Wall and London Leather Boys are worth it alone. I got to see them live with the Scorpions in Madrid, Spain and they put on a great show.

The rest of the songs are pretty good too, but sometimes Udo's voice gets a little much with his screaming. However, that is a minor thing and not even worth knocking this review down a star.

This is great stuff and I highly recommend it.

4 out of 5 stars All Balls to the Wall.......2007-01-18

Accepts best album! Classic 80's rock in the vain of the mighty AC/DC before the hair band craze hit the radio.

5 out of 5 stars TIMELESS, QUALITY, GUT-WRENCHING METAL!!!.......2006-12-27

Simply put, they don't make quality Heavy Metal like this anymore (harder to find these days)! Searing hot, snarling, fist and teeth clenching, bombastic, highly structured and serious killer Metal riffing and leads with great songwriting and vocals. Udo Dirkschneider (vocals) and Wolf Hoffman (lead guitars) may very well be one of the all-time great hard rock/metal duo's in the business. Just a superb, genre-leading metal masterpiece!!!

4 out of 5 stars It Doesn't Get Much Better Than This !!!.......2006-12-08

Balls To The Wall is not only one of the greatest Accept albums of all times,it is truly one of the greatest metal albums of all time! In fact,along with "Holy Diver" from Dio,"Pyromania" from Def Leppard and "Headhunter" from Krokus,this is what I would play for someone who has never heard 80s style metal. It's really that good. Accept is one of my favorite bands and this CD has all the reasons for that. Udo has never sounded better with his trademark screaming vocals (no one sounds quite like him,no one,and that's the sign of a legend),Wolf is in top form as usual for great lead guitar work and the rest of the band is just awesome. As great as this is,it is not my favorite Accept album,that honor goes to the one that followed this "Metal Heart" but in all fairness I'm a sucker for melody and that was their most melodic album. However,when it comes to THE classic Accept sound,you simply can't beat this. It has the radio smash hit "Balls To The Walls" the amazing "London Leather Boys", and so much more. Every song on here is a classic and how many CDs can you truly say that about? This CD was my first taste of Accept. I was at a concert in 1983 (it was a Kix concert being from Pennsylvania where they played alot) and my favorite memory of that night was not the concert itself (which was great too) it was the CD they played before the concert. I heard this fantastic song called Head Over Heels,then I heard "Turn Me On" then I heard "Love Child" and then I heard "Balls To The Walls" and at that point I said "I have got to buy this CD" the next day I went to the record store and bought it and listened to it so much I wore out my cassette (thank goodness for CDs). To truly appreciate this masterpiece,you have to really crank up the volume.I recommend this to anyone just discovering Accept or hard rock music in general. It doesn't get much better!

The Pros:Everything. Of course the title track "Balls To The Wall" ,"London Leather Boys", "Head Over Heels" ,the very sexual lyrics to "Turn Me On" the very brave lyrics to "Love Child" (it took a lot of courage to write about homosexual feelings in a metal band),"Losers And Winners" and "Losing More Than You Ever Had".

The Cons:The only thing I can come up with for this,is the guitar sound is a little dryer than the previous release "Restless And Wild" but it still sounds great.The production is awesome and the songwriting is amazing.

The Bottom Line:I can't recommend this highly enough.It is a true masterpiece.The performance and the songwriting. The only other advice I can give about this is play it on 10 to get maximum effect.Donutman says so!!!

5 out of 5 stars Have You Got The Balls?.......2006-09-27

I was a latecomer to Accept. As a kid my doorway to metal was pretty traditional-Metallica, Megadeth, Maiden, Priest. In fact, it wasn't uncommon many years ago to see an Iron Maiden, Anthrax or even Helloween album(cassette usually, sometimes cd. Cd's were still kinda new at the time) at your local WalMart or other department store. Imagine that! Accept didn't really make it there, so I never really knew about them. Many years later I get into them and love it. Balls to the Wall ends a fantastic heavy metal trilogy that started with Breaker and continued with Restless and Wild. These aren't the only good Accept albums, but you'd have to be a fool to call yourself an Accept fan and not have them. Musically it's heavy and midpaced with the occasional speedy number thrown in. Very powerful, very anthematic. Udo is bar none one of the best metal vocalists ever. Sure, on the books he'll always be a second stringer to Halford, Dickinson and Dio, but honestly I personally don't feel he's one iota beneath any of those giants. Modern day metal audiences will just kinda laugh this off as silly, and most folks with any kind of recollection of the band are usually under the impression that Accept were some hair metal band that never quite made it. In fact, Sony (who remastered this cd) placed a big ass sticker on the cover(on mine anyway) that screams Big Hair!! Big Hits!! This pisses me off coz it proves that Sony had absolutely no idea of what they were remastering that day. Anyone who thinks Accept is a silly hair band can take a flying jump at the moon for all I care. Of course in a day when bands like Slipknot and HIM exist, who's to criticize something for being silly? Anyhow, I'm ranting. The point is, I'm not saying anything new to fans of the group, but to those wanting to expand their horizons and have an interest in checking out some of the golden days of heavy metal shouldn't be without this or one of the other two Accept albums. It's Rockin'! It's Udo! It's German! It's Heavy Friggin' Metal!

I bought the sound track for Jerry Lee Lewis's rendition of Old Man River.

Which in my opinion is the best arrangement and recording of that piece of gospel music that I have ever heard.

5 out of 5 stars The Real Jerry Lee is Much Nicer Than This.......2007-05-10

This is a fun movie and the music is fantastic. I'm not griping really because I can see why they did this: Jerry Lee Lewis's stage persona is bombastic, over-the-top and larger-than-life. That's fine. I get it. HIs on-stage persona is really just show-biz. I once met him and he's really not like that. He's really a very nice, thoughtful southern gentleman. That's the truth. Yes, to people in his band he's a demanding perfectionist (so is McCartney, big deal). But to meet him and approach him he treats everyone with respect and kindness and is nothing like his onstage character.

That said, if you like him and his music you should definitely check this out bearing in mind it's a cartoon.

I'm just glad the killer is still alive and working the ivories.

5 out of 5 stars Great Balls of Fire! sets me on fire........2007-01-29

I am a 15 year old who likes older time periods. I love the '50s and all of its wonderful musicians. So when I found out there was a movie about Jerry Lee Lewis I just had to see it.
I ordered the DVD and watched it and immediately fell in love. The story line is amazing. There are funny parts and there are romantic parts that made my heart melt. Jerry Lee's relationship with Myra was really sweet. The music was great. Shortly after I purchased the DVD, I also bought the movie's soundtrack.
Wonderful movie. Highly Reccomended. Dennis Quaid did a great job as Jerry Lee Lewis.

5 out of 5 stars Not like Jerry Lee's life.......2006-11-30

This movie told a good story and I like it, but the sad thing is that this movie is absolutly nothing like Jerry Lee Lewis's life. Most of the things that happened in the movie are totally fiction. Jerry is more serious that the clown that Dennis Quaid acted out. Now the music on it is a total different story, it is just wonderful. The music is Jerry Lee Lewis singing, not dennis quaid and it is just great. Wynona did a good job of being Myra in my opinion, and I think you will find her laugh in the movie very humerous. But I would advise you to buy the movie because it is just a really good story, and the sound track is definatly wonderful!
Thanks

5 out of 5 stars Strange and very bizarre.......2001-12-28

I received this album of "Christmas" music as a gift. This was far and away the strangest gift I have ever received. To really enjoy this music you must have a bit of a twisted sense of humor and an even more twisted taste in music. Some of the songs were done what you would consider normal while some were totally over the top. I found that for the most part I did enjoy listening to the album and would recommend it to anyone with strange tastes in music. It definitely is not for the faint of heart though.

3 out of 5 stars Somewhat entertaining, but "blues"? No........2007-03-08

I realize that the boundries between genres have blurred over the years. Much of what was called "rock" during my teenage years is now found on country radio, and in the blues, for that matter.

But Cathy Jean offers up something that is better described as a mix of rock, punk, and blues. This album is laden with attitude, is delivered with conviction, and focuses much of its' energy on sex. It is certainly a different experience to hear a woman sing about her desire to seduce another woman. But for me, this lends an almost shlocky feel to the effort, compelling though it may be, at least on the first couple of listens.

Cathy Jean can sing, her band plays hard, and there is a definite edge to the material. Just be forewarned, this isn't "blues" in the classical sense, and it is definitely rated 'R'. Not something to play while the kids are in the car.

5 out of 5 stars Points!.......2006-07-02

(Translation from German:) Cathy Jean from Baltimore made her sexy appearance to the trademark and already at the cover of her CDs, is unique and to be recognized unambiguously. But the Lady can also sing and proves it impressively with her own songs, which often also relevant the texts-- the Americans would say "dirty words"-- to contain. A far mixture of skirt is played over blues, bluesrock, and slowblues, in addition to cajun and jazzige influences. Immediately the first number, "Bitchovich", a rocksong, contains all advantages of Cathy Jean. It is accompanied by her group of excellent musicians, whereby particularly Keith Stafford at the guitars out-stings. "Deeper" prices itself through outstanding brazenness, "Slow Down" expands and is completed additionally around by banjo and fiddle, and "The Judge" is a cajun-number also of outstanding brazenness. Very varied. Respect!--Dietmar Hoscher, Head of Blues Department, Concerto Magazine, Austria

5 out of 5 stars She's the real deal.......2006-04-02

I bought Cathy Jean's other 3 CDs a few years ago, and was blown away by her talent as a singer and a songwriter. One song after another is just cool as hell, and if they don't flow from her own life story she can add acting to her talents as well. Why she isn't famous is a mystery; she's the real deal -- what more could you want in a blues singer? She'll be widely known some day, I predict -- until then, she'll just be one of our great Baltimore secrets.

It would be impossible to overstate Abe Schwartz's influence on the development of klezmer music in America. He was a fine violinist and pianist, an excellent composer, an arranger who added modern instruments like saxophones and banjos to the Old World sound, and a bandleader with a nose for talent who helped launch the careers of Dave Tarras and Naftule Branwein, among others. The Klezmer King collects 25 tracks from the 75 or so sides that Schwartz recorded for Columbia between 1917 and 1935. Schwartz was remarkably versatile, and the selections include traditional dance tunes like "Roumanian Doina," Yiddish pop tunes such as "Die Greene Cousine," which was later a hit for Benny Goodman as "My Little Cousin," and sly social commentary like "Der Automobile." Also here are three versions of the old melody "Russian Sher," which were recorded in 1917, 1927, and 1935. Listening to them, you can trace Schwartz's style as it evolves from its European roots to a more American version of klezmer. The sound quality of these rare recordings is outstanding; there are almost no clicks, pops, or hiss to mar the music. The Klezmer King is an essential recording from one of the pioneers of New World klezmer. --Michael Simmons

5 out of 5 stars Abe Schwartz -- King of Yiddish Music.......2007-02-22

Abe Schwartz was an American klezmer pioneer who discovered such talents as Dave Tarras and Naftule Brandwein as well as inspiring the contemporary klezmer revival bands. Don't miss this collection of his original recordings.

4 out of 5 stars Old-Time American Roots Klezmer Music.......2004-04-15

Abe Schwartz and his orchestra developed and defined klezmer music in America from the mid-1920s up until the 1940s and early '50s. If the beginning sounds of American roots klezmer music is of interest, this is the CD you want. I find that half-way through, my mind wanders. It sounds too schmaltzy for me. I love Central European and Balkan style music ... this CD has diluted versions of this styling. This CD contains Central/East European "cross over" music that is becoming Americanized. In reality it is not quite either, besides the violin, there is the requiste clarinet, other instruments are saxaphone, tuba, piccolo, alto sax, bass sax, drums, and other percussions. The music occasionally sounds like a Balkan Brass band ... fortunately the longing and nostalgia of the klezmer sound, the Jewish roots are evident in all the tracks. The 'sher', 'doina', and 'hora' are types of dance music played by this famous composer, bandleader, and fiddler. My favorite is "Escorting the Parents of the Bride and Groom Home" ("Fihren Di Mechutonim Aheim-Tanz') which features Naftule Brandwein on the clarinet. His improvisations and glissandos are brilliant. The famous klezmer clarinetist, Dave Tarras, is also featured on many of these recordings. "Hasidic Melodies" ("Ch'sidishe Nigunim") is one of my favorite examples of his playing. His command of the clarinet and the creative musical phrasing is phenomenal. "The Greenhorn Girl Cousin" ("Die Green Couisine") is famous for the music, lyrics, and message which brought to the public's attention the bad working conditions in the sweatshops, the first job of immigrants arriving in the USA. It is a catchy tune with Abe Schwartz featured on the violin and Abraham Moskowitz singing the vocals. Spin-offs of this song were written by many including one by Benny Goodman. Overall, if discovering and investigating early klezmer roots music is your goal, this CD will meet your criteria with highest expectations. Otherwise, give me "The Klezmatics", "The Klezmer Conservatory Band" or any modern klezmer group which expresses the music in a more explosive and exciting manner. For me, the modern sound is much more appealing than the early roots which is on this CD. Erika Borsos (erikab93)

4 out of 5 stars Joy, Joy, Happy, Happy.......2004-02-05

I came to Klezmer music via Izaak Perlmann's "In the Fiddler's House," which is one of my all time favorite CDs. I'm just learning about the genre, via other Amazon reviewers, so have just recently arrived at this and other "Klezmer roots" CDs (Dave Tarras, as another reviewer mentions, is also excellent). It's just exceedingly harmonious, well orchestrated, tightly knit music, transported from the old world to the new. The tradition lives on, and an increasing number of us goyim are coming to appreciate it. Sound quality, these can't compete with modern recordings like those of the Klezmer Conservatory Band, or the Klezmatics, but it will definitely give you an idea of where they learned from. Mazaltov!!

4 out of 5 stars Close your eyes and you're at a Jewish wedding.......2003-03-31

If you've ever heard new groups like the Yiddish Cup Klezmer Band and The Klezmatics and marveled at how they got all those great old tunes, look no further. Abe Schwartz, the Klezmer King is now available on CD. Before this, 78 RPM records these were remastered from was the only place you could hear him.

The Klezmer King album is old, both in sound and style. But keep in mind that clarinet klezmer is more of an American thing. This music is a generation or two removed from the original originals. Songs called Russian Sher and Roumanian Doina indicate that, just like today, wedding musicians from the old country were jamming the hits of the day as well as the "Jewish" stuff.

But it was guys like Schwartz, Dave Tarras and the Musiker Brothers, whom the new wave learned from. But unlike the younger versions, these melodies don't seem to have jazz-like improvisation. They are straight ahead rollickers, heavy on catchy rhythm and melody. There are a total of twenty-five tracks on the album and most are short and fast.

The instruments employed are the violin, played by Schwartz, the clarinet and horns. The beat is so danceable that you forget there's no percussion. That's traditional, because back in the old country, if the klezmorim had any percussion at all it was just a bass drum.

For you Yiddish speakers, The Klezmer King is not all instrumental. There are tracks that start with lively shouts as well as straight singing pieces like Mameniu Liubeniu or the satirical Hurra Far Unzerheld Levine.

Then there's Die Bolbriker Chasseneh, which has Schwartz introducing a bride and groom in between slow music. He raises his voice, half speaking and half singing in rapid-fire Yiddish. Then he gasps out that the couple is now officially married and the band breaks into fast, bouncy jamming. Close your eyes and you can imagine you're one of the guests. That goes for most of the tunes here.

If you didn't know the difference between a bulgar and freilach and nigun before, you better start learning. Abe Schwartz taught long of young folks about what it takes to be a king of klezmer. Companion CDs of Dave Tarras and the Musiker Brothers are available from Legacy Recordings.

5 out of 5 stars Time warp.......2002-08-11

Listening to the 25 old but timeless cuts on this set of remastered Yiddish greats provides many layers of enjoyment. In hearing these long-forgotten tunes, one enjoys clarinet and violin strains influenced by ancient melodies and traditions. And some will recognize varied renditions of old favorites. The 6th cut, for example, Dovid'l Bazetzt die Kalleh, is engrained into my memory from Jewish Music, a Benedict Silberman recording, circa 1955, of Yiddish orchestrations.

The music is all decidedly Eastern European. The Roumanian Doina, for example, played by Abe Schwartz (violin) and his daughter, strongly resembles the brilliant Rom music generated by the same region.

No wonder. Born in Bucharest, Romania, Abe Schwartz (1881-1963) emigrated to the U.S. with his parents in 1899 and became the most influential composer, fiddler and bandleader to shape and define modern U.S. klezmer groups. He arrived in the musical establishment via an acquaintance from small jobs with David Nodiff, a part-time composer and so-called A&R (for artist and repertoire) man for Columbia Records, who helped bring klezmer and other ethnic musicians to record companies. Nodiff hired Schwartz in 1917 to find new Jewish talent and head up instrumental recording sessions.

This recording provides some of the time and style progression of Yiddish American music from 1917, when Schwartz recorded Russian Scissors for Columbia with the Oriental Orchestra. In 1927, he recorded the same tune again as Russishe Shehr, in a brassier rendition played by his own orchestra. Still a later 1935 version can be heard in Russian Sher National Dance, the 22nd cut, recorded with the Orkestr Novinka. (And that is the most recent recording here.) The musical and stylistic progressions from 1917 and 1918 through 1935 are admirably explained in an accompanying 8-page pamphlet.

This is not the jazzy stuff many will remember from the 1940s and 1950s. It came before the Barry Sisters, before Naftule Brandwein and Dave Tarras. Abe Schwartz was their mentor.

What you get here is a time warp, filled with early 20th century Jewish musical genius. Alyssa A. Lappen

This is the second release from the king of crude, back in print after two years. These hilarious ditties should not be played in front of the squeamish or while driving, as it could be hazardous to your health. Listen for Red on The Howard Stern Show and on wacky morning shows across the country.

When it comes to off-color levity, there's no one better than Red Peters. His songs sound familiar the first time you hear them, and you'll soon find yourself singing along to lyrics that would make a longshoreman (or at least a longshoreman's wife) blush. This new release is equally as good as "I laughed, I cried..." For more Red Peters, check out the "Taxpayer's Blues" CD which includes Red singing "The Taxpayer's Polka."

This was such a let-down. I Laughed, etc was sooo funny and had great music and Ol' Blue Balls has neither.....

5 out of 5 stars Brilliant Mimicry.......2001-12-19

I was introduced to Red Peters' second album, Ol' Blue Balls is Back, on a slapdashery trek to New England in 2000 and I was thoroughly impressed by both the talent and the humor evidenced in this effort.

The Spelling Song and The Closing Song are, in particular, extraordinarily funny. Another very humorous track for the holidays, You Ain't Getting S*** for Christmas", is a wonderful addition to follow up his "Holy S***, it's Christmas, from Red's first album. Both of these songs give me the jollies.

This is a recording that you could play low volume at the Shriner's club or your grandmother's birthday party and no one would notice how utterly tasteless the lyrics were because of the smoothness of the music and lyrical stylings of Red.

3 out of 5 stars In and out... of favor.......2000-05-27

I thought Red Peters's second album was a step down from `I Laughed, I Cried... I Fudged My Undies!' The songs weren't as consistently funny to me, although the CD overall had quite a few bright spots. The tunes are brimful of the sexual innuendo and double-entendre... the Red Peters trademark. I even found a new genre favorite with the disco theme `Pullin' It All Night Long'.

In this work, Peters tries out different genres to cut down to size. There's the country tune `Long and Hard', the `I Wanna Polka Polka', and a new Christmas carol mixed in with the cocktail/lounge standards. He also tries his hand at audio bits- sketches and ad satires. These were hit-and-miss with me. I loved `Babes' Auto Villa', `Peenitch', and the suppository ad; unfortunately, the rest of them fell flat. And, being the politically incorrect guy he is, Red takes a few sacrilegious shots at our national pastime's seventh-inning-stretch tradition with `Take It Out At The Ball Game'. And his phone call to the Pope is certainly an unforgettable moment.

One thing that really irks me-sometimes the curse words are bleeped out, and at other times you hear them (very) loud and clear. I wish it were one way or another. Other than that... if you enjoyed Joe Pesci's character Tommy DeVito from `GoodFellas', the final `bonus' track is something to savor...
