A good value.......2007-05-17

I wasn't expecting to have 4 discs for this price, and the music is a quality selection of film music, giving a good scope of the genre, and a very listenable transfer.

The Sound Track Since Bernard Hermann.......2006-07-25

This collection is bound to capture your heart and evoke a tin ear on successive tracks. I found much to like and some duds - easy to skip over.
Very good value.

I'm a big fan of this soundtrack music and will be looking for more CD's like this.

A mixed collection of movie music.......2006-02-23

For the price, this CD is a great bargain. The musical selections, as you might expect, are mixed in quality ranging from extraordinary to so so, the balance being worthwhile and interesting. Sonically the CD is excellent.

Uplifts your soul, takes your mind into the heavens.......2006-01-06

I have been listening to great scores for many years and this collection is truly inspirational in so far as the choice of different scores takes you on a journey of listening pleasure matched by only a few collections.The price is incredibly reasonable for hours of listening pleasure. Don't pass this one up

Time traveler Alvin Youngblood Hart's albums have darted from crusty Delta fingerpicking and hollering to Hendrixian hellfire to crunchy, primal rockin' blues, all with the ring of authority that comes from complete commitment to the music. This time, he's set the wayback machine to the early '30s, using guitars, mandolin, banjo, and a lot of heart to interpret tunes by Son House, Charley Patton, Skip James, Leadbelly, and others. Somehow, the dust of old Mississippi, the state where the Oakland-born musician now resides, seems to have gotten into his blood. Hart sounds like Parchman Farm's newest inmate as he wails and moans through "How Long Before I Can Change My Clothes," plucking notes from a National resonator guitar. Chiming out chords and quick runs on banjo, he makes Odetta's "Chilly Winds" seem like they're carrying the voices of lost ghosts, recounting their lives of misery under Jim Crow's wing. Hart tends to take many of these classics, like Patton's "Tom Rushen Blues" and Leadbelly's "Alberta," at slightly slower tempos, which gives him more time to squeeze gut emotions from his lightly graveled phrases and lets his pluck-and-drone playing work its hypnotic effect. Stark and impressive for the power Hart generates alone, this may be the acoustic blues album of the year. --Ted Drozdowski

Album Description

On his fourth (Grammy Nominated) album (for his fourth label), the contemporary bluesman sounds inspired and refreshed as he accompanies himself on acoustic six-string guitar, banjo, and mandolin. Hart runs down fairly obscure tunes from Son House, Charley Patton, Leadbelly, Skip James, and Sleepy John Estes, infusing them with a jolt of energy while staying true to their original versions and invigorating them with inspired interpretations. Liner notes by Billy Gibbons, Robert Gordon & Dave Alvin. Dot. 2002.

Customer Reviews:

Almost as Solid as "Big Mama's Door".......2003-10-23

This cd is excellent. It is almost flawless. It's also just a step or two below "Big Mama's Door", which was Hart's first release. The only real flaw on this cd is the song selection. Hart does Leadbelly's "Alberta", instead of doing the Mississippi Sheiks/Bo Carter version of the song, which happens to be a much more melodic and pretty tune. Also, Alvin plays "Devil Got My Woman", which has been done to death by everyone and their grandma. The cd also seems a bit short; there are twelve songs on this disc and you could probably fit fourteen or maybe even fifteen. Still, this cd marks a return to acoustic country blues for Hart. Buy this, you will not be disappointed!

GREAT SOUND.......2003-01-05

WHO ELSE CAN PLAY A GUITAR OR BANJO WITH A DIFFERENT COORDINATED RHYTM AND MELODIE. HE REMINDS ME ON A JUGGLER.

The Best!.......2002-08-25

This is a wonderful CD. Alvin is back at what he does best. If you are an acoustic country blues fan. BUY THIS!! Easily the best acoustic blues album of 2002. Period. His version of Bukka White's "Change My Clothes" will blow you away with the wonderful cornfield holler falsetto. Damn!

downhome heart.......2002-08-18

While of course Alvin Youngblood Hart has the right to do any kind of music he chooses, it would be hard to dispute that he does downhome African-American music best. He's in top form on this splendid recording, which harks back to the sound of his first. Like Lead Belly, Mississippi John Hurt, Henry Thomas, and Mance Lipscomb, he is a gifted bluesman but not only a bluesman. He is also immersed in the older rural traditions out of which the blues emerged a century or so ago. Thus, for two examples, the riveting renditions of the deep-folk songs "Deep Blue Sea" (not to be confused with the Tommy McClennan "Catfish Blues" variant of the same name) and "Chilly Winds." Though credited to Odetta, the latter is actually a cobbling-together of the title song (ubiquitous in both black and white tradition), "Pea Vine Whistle," and "K. C. Moan" -- themselves merely versions of older songs of murky origin. Hart not only revives the all-but-lost art of African-American five-string banjo but also masters it. The result is a sound nothing short of exhilarating.

I like everything on this album, with one small qualification. Hart boldly takes on the masters, making even Charley Patton's "Tom Rushen Blues" beautifully his own. Yet Skip James defeats him, as James seems to defeat everybody who tries him. Hart's version of "Devil Got My Woman" isn't bad, but James's original has an otherworldly quality which manages always to evade capture or even reinvention. If somebody has ever done a better version of any James song than James himself, I have never heard it.

This quibble notwithstanding, this is the sort of recording one has a very hard time taking off one's turntable. It should make all who hear it grateful that Hart is a relatively young man and that there's more -- plenty more, one hopes -- where it comes from.

Just shy of masterpiece.......2002-07-23

I don't want to harp on this too much. I'm a huge fan of this type of music, and Hart is one of the best at it. If this had come out first (before Big Mama's Door, that is) would I like it better? From here, it seems that BMD is more cohesive, more compelling: I suspect it's just an illusion. This (DITA) is probably just as good.

I feel sort of sorry for Hart: he's so good at this stuff that he's apt to get pigeon-holed, which would be a shame. His previous release, "Start With the Soul", deserves more attention than it gets.

Play it again! Play it again!.......2006-01-14

This was the second Elvis album to feature material from the legendary January/February Memphis recording sessions. It starts off with three great songs, and it ends with three great songs. In between, it features four of the weaker tracks from the Memphis sessions. Not to say that they aren't good, just not as good as the others. This CD would almost be worth getting just to hear the amazing "Stranger in My Own Home Town", but it's also available on "Suspicious Minds: The Memphis 1969 Anthology". I would recommended getting that CD, instead of this one.

underappreciated. The voice, the ballads, and the feeling that he emits into these recordings...BUY THIS NOW!!

ONE OF THE MOST SOULFUL, RELAXING CD'S OF ALL TIME.......2002-02-15

In January of 1969, Elvis made a serious attempt to record music that would would once again propel him to the top of the pop music world. With hits like Suspicious Minds, In the Ghetto, and Kentucky Rain, Elvis succeeded. In addition to the three tunes were dozens of other songs recorded during these same studio sessions that would spawn two key albums: The Memphis Record and Back in Memphis.

Back in Memphis did not contain any top 40 hits but traditional favorites and Elvis' renditions of tunes made popular by other artists make this a top-notch collection. I would say that this is perhaps Elvis' easiest-listening album. One cannot help but to relax and find an overwhelming sense of peace and calm while listening to this material.

Do You Know Who I Am, And the Grass Won't Pay No Mind, and Inherit the Wind are perhaps the three most gentle and soothing tracks ever sung by Elvis, and this is even when drawing comparisons with Side 2 of Elvis' Christmas Album.

For the person who really wants to remove himself or herself from the fast-paced, stressed-out contentions of modern-day life and who yearns to go back to a simpler place and time, I highly recommend Elvis Presley-Back in Memphis.

ONE OF HIS BEST RECORDINGS EVER.......1999-05-01

THIS ALBUM REALY SHOWS HOW MUCH POWER AND HOW MUCH HEART ELVIS REALY HAD. HIS SOUL IS ALL THERE AND THE MUSIC PICKED FOR THIS RECORDING IS IN MY OPINION, THE MOST TEAR JERKING AND HEART FELT MUSIC I'VE EVER HEARD.

Elvis in 1969 - A Voice in Peak Soulful Form, Matured&Moving.......1999-01-25

The CD is uniformly good...Elvis voice is marvelous here, the songs are uniformly good, and Elvis handles the ballads like This Is The Story with sincerity and emotion, and the bluesy pop-country stuff weighs in at least that strong. If you thought "The Best Of Elvis" ended with the fifties, you're in for an enjoyable education. Top notch stuff.

Elvis "IS" Back in Memphis.......2000-09-21

Elvis "Back In Memphis is a one of his rare albums that shows his ability to go from the "Rock and Roll" to "Easy Listening". Arrangements by Mike Leech, Glen Spreen and Billy Goldenberg give a range to these tracks that showcases the true talent of Elvis Presley. If you are looking for a different sound that will move you on side one and them soothe you on side two, then this is the album you want to add to your collection.

Wow! Who Is This Guy?.......2007-05-01

I discovered Adrian Duke by accident when I downloaded (legally) his interpretation of "A Rainy Night in Georgia". This is a real talent! A vocalist and accoplished pianist, Adrian Duke sounds like a cross between Ray Charles and Joe Cocker and is at most a half-notch below the legendary Dr. John as a keyboardist. Duke, indeed, shows every sign of having been influenced by Ray and Doc. Some of his best single cuts are Charles standards "A Rainy Night in Georgia", "Hallelujah, I Just Love Her So", "Let's Go get Stoned" and versions of "Tipitina" and "Iko Iko" that owe much to Dr. John. My first concern, upon listening to this guy, is that he may be more of a mimic than a musician, but, as I listened more, it struck me that, his debts to Ray and Doc notwithstanding, is singing in his own voice and with a sensibility that is discernibly his own. He is well worth a listen. You've probably never heard of him, but he's better than 95% of the musicians you have!
