2 out of 5 stars Buy the 1st two albums.......2006-08-06

I love the bands early hits from the first two albums: Child is father to the Man (1st album) and Blood Sweat and Tears (2nd album). All the tracks on this compilation are from the first 5 albums, however, I think only the really good hits are really from the 1st two albums, and like another reviewer said, THESE ARE NOT THE FULL LENGTH SONGS! The CD is only flippin' 48 minutes for crying out loud! They could of at least put the real versions on it to fill it up, or put on more songs. I don't understand compilations like this. So if your looking where to start collecting from this jazz/rock/psychedelic/blues based band, start with the first two albums, you'll be a heck of a lot happier.

5 out of 5 stars The best sounding release of this classic greatest hits comp.......2006-08-03

This is an excellent sounding reissue of a classic LP and this CD is worth buying for either diehards or the casual fans: The original LP is all mono using the 45 versions, and while there were very early CDs that used the LP master, but the stereo collector community complained so Columbia remastered the disc to use the stereo LP versions to please the stereo oriented collectors in a hurry. In 1999, the Greatest Hits LP was reissued again on CD, this time using the 45 versions in stereo that came from the promo 45 stereo single masters and this release became the first time the 45 versions ended up available in stereo for wide release. So collectors, audiophiles and casual fans should buy this CD. If you want a greatest hits collection with the LP versions, buy the "What Goes Up?" 2 CD set or track down one of the 1980s CDs of this compilation that use the LP versions.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful, Beautiful Music! Great Remastering Job too!.......2005-08-20

To think that this cd basically landed on my lap as an accidental gift the details of which I'll spare you all; otherwise, I'd never have had the opportunity to listen to BS&T!

I don't have the whole albums but judging this particular cd on its own merits, I'd say that this is definitely a keeper! The remastering was very well done and the sound quality is very, very good. I liked this so much that I chose the first track to be the opening track for my wedding reception cd that I compiled 3 years ago.

Although the tracks are arrangements of other people's work unlike Chicago which uses its own material, I'm not too bothered about that so long as the arrangements are either better than the original or put a whole new artistic twist on them. Both cases are true here in this great compilation album.

With the resurgence of Michael Buble and the swing time music these days, maybe it's time B,S & T got some more airtime as well? No dud tracks here at all and I'm glad that fortune smiled on me a few years back and dropped this cd on my lap.

Wanna get one cd that's representative of the band? You can't go wrong with this! It's made me so very happy for some time now.

3 out of 5 stars Greatest Hits, but not the Greatest Cuts from the Albums.......2005-07-01

BS&T was one of the finest jazz/rock bands. Personally, I like them better than Chicago (although I am quite fond of them as well).

The selections on this CD are fine if you want only the Top 40 versions rather than the definitive album versions. "Spinning Wheel" for example, fades out just as the end instrumentals start to get interesting.

Although this is a good choice for those seeking an inexpensive introduction to the group, I would recommend the albums. Virtually all of the tracks on the albums (especially "The Child is Father to the Man" and the self-titled "Blood, Sweat & Tears") are excellent and the mastering is (in my opinion) much better.

5 out of 5 stars They Don't Make Songs Like This AnyMore.......2004-11-19

It was a much happier time--the carefree days of the 70's. I was in my mid teens, and although born in Spain, had moved to live in the US, with relatives in New York. 45's were the CD's of today, and I bought my first Blood Sweat & Tears record. It was a new experience for me. This amazing rock group with the most incredibly soulful lead singer I've ever heard. So much passion in his vocals. And one amazing song after another- too many to name. I now have the CD version of the album I still have to this day. They will never be forgotten. They remain one of the most influential soul,rock and pop groups.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome CD.......2007-03-22

The sound is really original and highly creative. I like the song "Change." I like the melody a lot. "Women in Chains" is another song with a beautiful sound. "Pale Shelter" is also another good song on this cd. It brings back the early to mid 80s where life was much simplier for a lot of people.

The music is distinct, they don't sound like any other band.

5 out of 5 stars Great music, but don't go see in Concert.......2007-03-16

Their music is great and I love the sound, but they are a studio group only. Their concerts are really poor. They don't play all of their hit songs, their live mix is slightly off, they don't bring a large enough supporting band and they don't relate well to the audience at all. The biggest issue I had with them in concert (Pacific Amphitheater, CA July 2006) was their song selections. They chose to play songs that they liked and not songs that the crowd wanted to hear. They left out some big hits songs to play some other songs that were really pretty bad. Which was a surprise to me as I love their music. I give them an "A" for their music and an "F" for their concert.

5 out of 5 stars The long and wining road!.......2007-02-28


If I had to pronounce myself by one the most original bands of the eighties "Tears for fears" should be included even in the list of the most exigent hard fans of those ages.

They knew to combine the accurate balance between expression and sentiment, keeping in mind the vast audiences. So his musical balance allowed them to maintain the required presence and personality to achieve a special place among the great bands.

A must- have for any serious collector.

5 out of 5 stars Great music !.......2007-02-08

This is one of my all time FAVORITE CDs. I heard it in a store recently and I started to search for it. Thanks. This is GREAT music. Will cherish it! Highly recommend it !

Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Very disappointing, considering what it could have been.......2007-04-20

Take a look at the running times:

Disc 1: 60 minutes
Disc 2: 50 minutes
Disc 3: 61 minutes
Disc 4: 58 minutes

What gives Silva? There is *MUCH* more John Williams in the silva screen back catalogue by the Prague Philharmonic than what is in this set, and thats not including their entire discs devoted to Star Wars Films, Indiana Jones Trilogy etc. Why isn't Hook "When You're Alone" included on Disc 2? There's room. Why isn't 1941 on Disc 1? There's room. Why isn't Earthquake on Disc 3? There's room. Why isn't Far and Away on disc 4? There's room. Where's the other ten minutes of the Rare Breed suite on disc 3? Why isn't Midway on disc 1? Where are the Land of the Giants, Time Tunnel and Lots In Space tv themes? Etc. Etc. Etc.

C'mon Silva, most of these 4 disc mega boxes released in the past few years are packed to the brim, but not this one, and with new recordings made after this was released (the terminal, munich, geisha, war of the worlds, star wars ep 3, harry potter 3), it only makes sense for a "re-do" in the next couple of years.

Further, with Silva releasing the 100 Greatest Film Themes on six discs in a couple of months, it's only a matter of time before we see the ultimate six disc john williams set.

This isn't a BAD set to own, but it could have been much better and when compared to the Jerry Goldsmith and John Barry sets in this same series, this one is a major letdown.

5 out of 5 stars Always a pleaser.......2007-03-31

I listen to music all day with patients in my dental chair. This one is a winner with everyone. Patients always comment on how they recognize a song. Who doesn't love John Williams? His music transcends time.

5 out of 5 stars JOHN WILLIAMS 40 Years of Film Music.......2007-01-10

This 4 cd pack is an anthology of all John Williams works. From his earlier works "The Poseidon Adventure" and "Jaws" right through "Indiana Jones" and the most recent"Star Wars" prequel movies are included. Williams work in thriller and horror are also included. If you are into soundtracks and love movie music this is an essential buy. The quality of the music is excellent. With ten or more tracks on each cd it's well worth the money.

5 out of 5 stars Movie Music Magic & Memorabilia.......2006-12-13

This four CD set expands on the previously released John Williams Greatest Hits. It's a grand collection of nearly four hours of famous music scores from over forty years. There are many songs never before available in any collection. The short liner notes tell a great tale of musical movie history and include all of his numerous award nominations and wins. Each song (oddly enough) mentions the actors and the director, so fond are John Williams's memories of his work with these people. All of the conductors are mentioned along with specific orchestras, choirs, arrangement and orchestration specialists and even the publishers (contractual, I am sure). The only things missing are his early television scores, such as those for "Lost In Space" (by Johnny Williams back then). But with four discs, one has nothing to complain about and everything to enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars John Williams: 40 Years of Outstanding Film Music.......2006-11-28

I have been a huge fan of John Williams and I have known about his music for years. However, I never actually bought any of his music on CD. I was rather skeptical about purchasing this CD but when it arrived I knew I had made the right choice. The sound quality of the compilation is outstanding. The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra do a great job under the direction of Paul Bateman. The original London Symphony Orchestra CDs of John Williams' Star Wars Trilogy CDs are marginally better but this is still a great CD compilation. If you love ET, Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Harry Potter, you will love this compilation soundtrack. Buy it, listen to these CDs in the car and enjoy every minute of the collection!!!

Many times you must feel the impression that the music produced by everlasting bands will stand forever, due it doesn't' t age a bit and as the good wine improves throughout the times.

Blood sweat and tears was one these bands anointed by that special ability to conquer your spirit and mood. Music that simply mocks about the small hands of the time and the conventionalism of the fashion.

What else may I add? . Acquire this album due it's part of the vertiginous sixties.

5 out of 5 stars BS&T Fan.......2006-11-04

Outstanding remastering by Sony and essential for any R&R collection. This is one of the best, hands down.

5 out of 5 stars Just so absolutely fine.......2006-08-10

For me this was a real rediscovery, because I wasn't really listening to B, S & T back then, although I certainly recognised their major hit "Spinning Wheel", which is included in this absolutely wonderful album.
Starting of with French composer Eric Satie's "Gymnopédies", first introduced very much as written from the composers hand, but then `twisted' in a nice and imaginary way, with some great writing for horns, and I guess this is the key point to this album; they take other peoples compositions and turn them into their own, in a very personal and imaginary way. I would actually go so far as to say that they beat the originals, but of course this is a matter of taste.
To me there is no doubt; this is their finest moment, the most inspiring and soulful outlet of them all. This is also the first album with singer David Clayton-Thomas and what a singer. I think this is a great album the way through and what an eye-opener it must have been, completely new and fresh, and the best thing is; it still sounds fresh. The only little thing that I can criticize is the second last track called Blues-part 2. Is has a great and very interesting organ intro, which builds up to a climax where horns finally enter, but then right away cuts into a drum/bass groove, which is a bit of an anticlimax, and the rest of this song is virtually different ideas spliced together, contra a homogeneous composition. (this is one out of three compositions of their own hand, the other two being "Spinning Wheel" and "Sometimes in Winter"). But that cannot take anything away from this album as a whole, which is just full of great songs arranged in such an irresistible way. Check this out!!!

5 out of 5 stars Another end-of-the-sixties classic.......2006-07-09

A person listening to this album for the first time might wonder if it was mispackaged - as it starts off with a minute or so of a flute-based version of "Variations on a Theme..." with no indication of the rich and thick sound to unfold in in about 90 seconds, then - bam! - you're there.

BS&T as a group shares some of the same elements as another end-of-the sixties classic album, Chicago Transit Authority, by having a large number of band members, with a horn section and bluesy, jazzy rich sound. However, the sum of the parts produces a different outcome for each band.

There some covers on this album ("Smiling Phases", "God Bless The Child", "And When I Die", "You've Made Me So Very Happy") and I believe they surpass the originals in every case.

I like "More and More" a lot, so the extra track of it is indeed a bonus. However, the expanded "Smiling Phases" is no match for the shorter version, though it's still interesting on its own.

This album is the second from the band, after kicking out founder Al Kooper and replacing him with David Clayton-Thomas who has a deeper richer sound.

It's an indispensible representation of the end of the sixties, but you also have to get the first BS&T album, "Child Is Father To The Man", which has a different slant and is no less impressive.

3 out of 5 stars A slight comedown from the debut but still very good.......2006-07-07

This album marked a transition for the horn infused rock band as the members gave the sack to founding member Al Kooper and with that took the band's sound away from the more bluesy tone of CHILD IS FATHER OF THE MAN and replaced that with a jazz feel. Clearly this was the correct move commercially as Kooper's replacement, raspy full-throated David Clayton-Thomas, led the charge to the pop charts landing them 3 solid hits from the album in "Spinning Wheel", Brenda Holloway cover "You've Made Me So Very Happy" and Laura Nyro's "And When I Die".

HIGHLIGHTS:
The opener from the band is "Variations on a Theme", a feather light adaptation of the 1st movement of Erik Satie's pastoral "Trois Gymnopedies" giving way to the phase-shifting blustery charging brass of the 2nd movement and nicely preparing you for the cover of Traffic's "Smiling Phases". Another reviewer rightly pegged "And When I Die" as the finest moment here and they're correct as the band incorporates elements of country, jazz, blues, and a touch of showtunes into a seamless whole that's more than the sum of its parts. Every transition feels natural. "Spinning Wheel" is a psych-tinged jazz-rock classic, playfully spinning children's tune "Have You Ever Seen a Lassie?" into its coda even as the carousel slowly breaks down into the denouement. Great stuff.

LOWS:
"Smiling Phases" is great in the neat, compact version heard as track 2. The live cut is a different story as the band attempts to show you their "chops" and instead careens wildly to and fro, losing all track of the melody in the process. This band was at its best when its jazziness was an inflection rather than attempts at improvisation and the bloat there only proves this is the case. Sprawl is also the problem with "Blues, Pt. 2" which only recovers about halfway through when vocalist Clayton-Thomas enters the picture but by then it's too late. Had this not been a letdown, the reprise of "Variations" might prove a masterstroke but it feels a bit anticlimactic to me in this context.

BOTTOM LINE:
Still better than your average rock album. Worth owning and definitely one of their better efforts but I'd pick up CHILD IS FATHER TO THE MAN (ASIN B00004XSVL) first as it holds together better as a complete album and is an underrated treasure of the 60s.

Most artists who appeal to adult listeners tend to settle into a comfortable niche, but Lucinda Williams refuses to play it safe. Instead, her music stings like an open wound, as she continues to strip away the protective layers from her art's emotional core. Though Williams has long been prized for the naked honesty of her music, this collection is even rawer than its predecessors. From the down-and-dirty bar-band blues of "Atonement" to the Rolling Stones-style swagger of "Bleeding Fingers" to the tricky balance of debasement and transcendence in "Ventura," Williams leaves the nerve endings of her music exposed. With the band opting for first-take immediacy rather than polish, some of the most powerful material is also the neediest, as the singer addresses lovers who have disrespected her ("Righteously") or abandoned her ("Those Three Days," "Minneapolis"). Though her attempts at rap on "Sweet Side" and "American Dream" might cause diehard fans to wince, her willingness to take creative chances reaffirms her position at the vanguard of a rootsy progressivism that transcends musical category. Simply put, there's more Patti Smith in her than there is Patsy Cline. --Don McLeese

4 out of 5 stars World Without Tears..........2007-05-10

World Without Tears (2003) is different from Lucinda Williams' previous releases. Her band is simply composed of Jim Christie, Doug Pettibone, and Taras Prodaniuk this time around. This album followed Lucinda's sublime release -- the underappreciated Essence.

Our songstress handles the lead vocals, and strums along on acoustic guitar; Doug Pettibone plays electric guitars and the mandolin on two songs, Taras Prodaniuk prods the Bass, and Jim Christie tickles the drums, vox organ, and Wurlitzer.

Running times for the tracks on World Without... are more uniform than on Essence; nine of thirteen songs on this album clock in at over four minutes, rendering this record more radio friendly than her preceding album.

Long songs like Atonement and People Talkin' are more boisterous, energetic and spare than we're used to hearing from Lucinda Williams; her technically proficient band shines here, but these two songs aren't lyrically the strongest.

Dedicated fans will want to know that World Without... was recorded at Real Music Studios in Los Angeles, California, during 2003. The genius of this album lies in reduction -- fewer instruments, fewer players, stronger vocals.

Wonderful tunes like Fruits Of My Labor (Track One) borrow `sweet baby' phrases from previous hits such as Essence while highlighting pensive harmonica and purloined purple imagery evocative of early songs by the fantastic Prince.

One would think that Righteously (Track Two) wouldn't work because it features Williams singing mock rap style, but she pulls it off winningly while name dropping John Coltrane. This song has a nice erotic edge to it.

Track three -- Ventura -- is emotionally gorgeous; I'd like to hear Bonnie Raitt cover it. Real Live Bleeding Fingers (Track Four) is an old-fashioned bar song, a barn burner evoking dissolute rocker Kurt Cobain.

Everybody will like Those Three Days (Track Six) since the singers's booming voice drives home the chorus and acquiesces to a mesmerizing electric guitar solo. I didn't enjoy Atonement (Track Seven) as much, but that's my preference.

After Atonement winds down, you'll adore Sweet Side (Track Eight) which Williams purges mock rap style -- from the male point of view -- in polar opposition to track two. Sounded vaguely like early Lone Justice.

Rather than being distracted by tracks two and eight, one should focus on Minneapolis (Track Nine) -- which is lyrically complex and vibrant -- since it's more representative of the album's overall mood.

Since I'm wrapping up, I'll close by saying World Without Tears (Track Twelve) is the most melancholy song Lucinda has ever written. Lastly, the masculine stand up bass on Words Fell (Track Thirteen) is worth appreciating.

5 out of 5 stars REAL!.......2007-02-09

The very first time I ever heard Lucinda Williams, I just couldn't understand her appeal. Then my husband took me to see her live and I started to "get it". I now love all her CD's, but I especially love this one. Her honesty blows me away. She truly doesn't hold back which I love. She talks about things that are real - feelings, experiences, memories. After listening to one of her CD's you feel like she's a friend that confided her secrets to you. Each time I listen to this CD I love it just a little bit more and I hear something new. Lucinda Williams is one of the most gifted song writers of our time.

5 out of 5 stars Sinfully Underrated Album!.......2007-01-25

Don't believe the largely negative critical and fan response that this album received upon its initial release in 2003. Nearly 4 years later, I can still safely say that this is one of my favorite Lucinda Williams albums-- if not my favorite. It's true that this release is not as easily accessible on first listen as say "Lucinda Williams" or "Car Wheels and a Gravel Road." But I promise if you allow it time to grow on you, it will take on a life of its own. Trust me, this is Lucinda at her most raw, and at her best.

5 out of 5 stars great first album .......2007-06-13

How they could kick Al Kooper out of this band after creating there debut god only knows.

5 out of 5 stars Too bad the marriage was so short.......2007-05-15

Blood, Sweat & Tears was the total brainchild of Al Kooper. He made one classic LP with them, then left/was pushed out, they hire a singer and BOOM, they explode commercially. Talk about irony. Unlike many, though, I don't put down the Clayton-Thomas version of the band. In fact, I think that the self-titled LP was a classic of a sort. The material (all covers, right?) was well-chosen, the arrangements were tight and imaginative, the production was incredible, and Clayton-Thomas did a great job. It only lasted one album, but it was a great album.

But this is the real McCoy. A groundbreaking stunner. Had it not been for Kooper's vision, that second BS&T album could never have happened. This was the child that was father to the man. Though it has escaped grandiose status for almost 40 years, it is a stone cold classic.

5 out of 5 stars B.S.& T. is Only Good with Al Kooper.......2006-11-06

This is an exceptional album.....not your typical Blood, Sweat and Tears commercialized garbage that was created after this album. This was their first album, raw and orginal, not over-produced or watered down for a top 40 audience. It is, in fact, the band driven and led by the great rock and blues musician, Al Kooper. When B. S. & T. "lost" Al Kooper, they lost everything.....fortunately, we can find what they lost in this album.

5 out of 5 stars The Masterpiece.......2006-07-23

This album doesn't have any of Blood Sweat and Tears hits. However, it is the band's best album, at least from a conceptual sense. Even though every song is completely different from the last, it somehow feels like a smooth transition to go from one song to the next. This album also represents the original lineup of Blood Sweat and Tears, including the creator keyboardist (and on this album, vocalist), Al Kooper. Kooper had actually formed this band because of creative issues with Danny Kalb, the leader of another great band, the Blues Project. Kooper's experience in the Blues Project can be seen on this album, as there is still a great deal of blues infused into even the classical and r&b numbers. Some notable tracks that I especially enjoyed on this album include "I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know," "Overture," and the haunting but beautiful, "World Without Love."

5 out of 5 stars Al Kooper COULD Be President of General Motors..........2006-05-23

Considering the shape they're in today, it could be a big improvement.

This was, of course, a huge sleeper in its day. Unlike the later Clayton-Thomas BST album, this one produced no "Top Ten" played hits. However, as a concept album it was great, and as one which paved the way for white-boy blues, it was something really new.

We loved them more than they'd ever know...and hey, look closely at the album cover. Take it from me - this was WAY before Photoshop.

Hipgnosis - how did they DO that, anyway??

5 out of 5 stars This is what its really about.......2007-05-02

the music and seriously. this is a cd that can easily be listened to numerous times. The songs are all brought out with such flare and the vocals are done excellent, songwriting is on point as well. Just everything about each of the tracks. You feel what Tears for Fears were trying and succedded in doing making a throughly great record from start to finish. I know many folks have heard "Shout" if they havent well its really something that has to be appreciated first hand. It is long but you dont even notice that. You just find your self all into the song from beginning to end. Another one that i really enjoyed is "The Working Hour" it doesnt have to do to much, it just brings out another side of the group that you didnt know. "Everybody Wants...." another smash off of this very successful 2nd cd, it takes you from the start of the song and doesnt let go until the song is over. At that point your ready to repeat it again and even when its done. The song is still playing in your head which to me is the sign of a good song.

Other favs of mine on the cd "Head over Heels", "Listen" and "I Believe". Also of note the remix for Shout is almost 2 minutes longer than the original version and makes the song that much better as well. As if that would even be possible. Also enjoyed "Mothers Talk" remix as well brings the song into a different light. I didnt however care for the other bonus tracks 9 through 13, something just felt seriously off with those songs. But that aside this cd still gets a 5 star rating from me..why? It does what most artists can't do bring you very quality music at no comprise to the artist making it in this case Tears for Fears. You guys own!!

4 out of 5 stars Amazon sent me this title with a big scratch on it !.......2007-02-19

Thats right. Amazon sent me this CD, and it had a HUGH BIG
scratch on the cover. Shameful. Didnt the person who put this
cd in the box notice it ? I cant believe they sent me this CD like this.
Maybee in the future you should look at the condition of the stuff
when you send it to me !

Anyway, on to CD itself. SONGS FROM THE BIG CHAIR BY TEARS FOR FEARS.
This album contains their three big hits. EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE
WORLD, SHOUT, AND HEAD OVER HEELS. Those three are the ones that made this
group a household name. THE WORKING HOUR is a great song. Very emotional.
I also liked MOTHERS TALK and BROKEN. Both those songs are rockers.
I BELIEVE is a nice ballad. LISTEN is above average. 8 songs on this
album, plus additional bonus songs. Among the bonus tracks, THE MAURADERS
is a catchy tune, the remix' of SHOUT and BROKEN are cool. THE BIG CHAIR
is a waste. Its just noise and a bunch of sounds.
This is a great album, Very enjoyable. If you are a Tears For Fears
die hard fan or a new fan, buy this. It has their three biggest hits.
AND AMAZON, DONT SEND ME CD'S WITH BIG SCRATCHES ON THEM. IF SOMETHING HAS
A BIG SCRATCH, GET ME A CD THAT DOESNT !

5 out of 5 stars the best music ever.......2007-01-27

tears for fears is my favorite pop music ever, i love every one of their songs, pharoahs is a great song too which was not on here, i highly urge anyone to listen to this album. their music is just so perfect to my ears. keep up the good work guys.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic album.......2007-01-21

Although it came out in the mid 80's this album still sounds fresh, not that music from the 80's is bad, but not all of it stands the test of time. I recently got a copy of this remastered /bonus tracks version of Big Chair. It was worth every penny, to get a few more songs from them. I have played this album sooooo much over the years and I still never tire of it. I don't hear much of a difference from the previous CD in the sound quality, but it sounds great. This is really great music from the lyrics to the production to the performance. I saw them years ago and they sounded as good as the album. Tears For Fears made some great music both before and after this album, but it was with this one that all the ideas really came together. I really don't believe it is possible for someone to NOT like something on this album. Check out the first album "The Hurting" a bit different, but really good also.

5 out of 5 stars Tears for Fears is my favorite band.......2007-01-21

This completes the circle of my teenage years of development. Get this with The Hurting and you are all set.

Album Description

Kendel Carson - she's a name, voice and fiddler/violinist who will indeed be remembered from a first listen to Rearview Mirror Tears, her delightful and alluring debut album on Train Wreck Records, produced by Chip Taylor. Already a musical veteran at age 22, she's been capturing ears and wowing audiences across her native Canada and around the globe with her prodigious talent and luminescent aura since she joined her first musical group at nine years old.

So it's no surprise that Rearview Mirror Tears sounds like the assured work of a veteran artist, rich with an uncanny and winning familiarity, seducing listeners to spin it again and again. After all, it's the work of a true artistic natural whose soul is suffused with music, and then on Rearview Mirror Tears is paired with another equally musical soul, master songwriter Chip Taylor, composer of such indelible classics as "Wild Thing" and "Angel of the Morning" and éminence grise of Americana music and the contemporary folk-rock and singer-songwriter scenes.

It's a collaboration that at first glance may seem like a seasoned veteran mentoring a gifted protégé, but the album soon reveals something else at work that's even more vibrant and exciting. The way Carson inhabits the album's songs with a full, rich presence and stamps her identity into the music with her vocals and playing tells a different tale: An artistic union of two friends and kindred musical souls. There's a spirit and life that pervades Rearview Mirror Tears that can only come between two talents in prime form enjoying their creativity in full flow.

Carson was all but destined to make memorable music from birth. Growing up in Victoria, British Columbia, she began playing violin at the tender age of three. Carson ascended to the upper reaches of the Canadian classical music world while still young, appearing as a featured guest soloist with the Victoria Symphony and later joining the National Youth Orchestra of Canada.

At the same time as she was achieving mastery as a violinist, Carson also became immersed in the vibrant Canadian folk scene as a fiddler, first with the BC Fiddle Orchestra and then with her brother Tyler as The Carsons, later to become the group Kid Carson. Her collaborative nature also later landed her in the Juno-winning roots music band The Paperboys, with whom she quickly became a notable member on their most recent album, The Road to Ellenside. Her duet with lead singer Tom Landa, "Fall Down With You," was the first video single from the disc and hit #4 on Canada's MuchMoreMusic video channel.

After first meeting her in 2004, Taylor began offering Carson long-distance encouragement and guidance in the months that followed. With Taylor in his most prolific and inspired state within an already prolific and inspired career, their creative alliance bloomed. By the time they hit the studio for a couple of days of recording in 2006, magic wasn't just in the air but in fact captured on the tracks they quickly laid down. On Rearview Mirror Tears, they create an album of music that feels like it was not just meant to be, but ready to emerge and capture the ears of the world at large. With an organic ambience of natural artistry in unfettered flow, the sessions became an album by an artist in first full flowering. Ranging with ease and engaging charm through a variety of roots music modes and emotional and musical moods, Rearview Mirror Tears is one of those exceptional creations that feels memorable and meaningful from its very first notes.

So even though Taylor wears such hats on Rearview Mirror Tears as producer, songwriter, singer and record label, his true role was ultimately encouraging Carson, a fellow talent and peer (despite any age difference), to become who she is and all that she is able to become. And as Taylor sees it, it's ultimately Carson's artistic capacities rather than his own that makes Rearview Mirror Tears all that it is. For Carson, her delectably winning debut album is one of those pivotal artistic and life lessons whose rewards will inform everything to come along her already lengthy and fulfilling musical journey that is sure to continue for some time to come.

4 out of 5 stars Great debut.......2007-06-10

Terrific debut album. Kendel has a nice soulful voice, and the instrumentals on this album don't drown it out. She does some up-tempo stuff as well as some excellent ballads. My favorite cut is Ribbons and Bows. I heard it on XM radio and had to hear more.

Eight of the 10 tracks on the cd are excellent, it was a good purchase for me!

5 out of 5 stars It's about his recovery.......2007-01-12

As far as lyrics go, "No More Tears" is Ozzy's best. In certain songs, there are glimmering hints of how honest he was with himself while getting clean. That takes courage.

"Road to Nowhere" summarizes a moral inventory Ozzy takes during his recovery days. While cryptic, the guilt and shame he expresses is balls-out honest and well put.

In "I Don't Want to Change the World," he sets his boundaries with religious hypocrites. But what stands out is his own relationship with God.

If you're expecting Sabbath, "Blizzard," or "Diary," put your expectations away. This album is unique, yet still light years ahead of so many more albums out there. As is to be expected with every album by Ozzy and band.

5 out of 5 stars Naptime CD for my preschool classroom.......2007-07-12

I bought this cd after hearing it online for my preschool classroom to relax to at naptime. (I have other Buckethead tunes of my own that I listen to... his stuff with Bucket of Bernie Brains and his Les Claypool stuff, etc.)

Not to inflate my own ego or anything, but- talk about the coolest preschool teacher EVER! Ask around... I am sure you won't find another preschool teacher who has her kiddos listen to eclectic musicians like Buckethead at naptime... Only thing is, I have a tough time not falling asleep myself!

Great cd for kids, it's "appropriate" and relaxing and not mind numbing like repetitions of "twinkle, twinkle little star".

4 out of 5 stars Good if you want to relax.......2007-02-07

This album is very different from his many avant garde efforts in that its all acoustic and all just him on his guitar. There very relaxing songs but, i honestly still love it. The only thing i dont like about it is the second song is way too repetitive, of course most of the album is that way but thats just too much, 11 minutes! But i have no other pet peaves, great music.

5 out of 5 stars Colma Lite.......2006-12-30

Any Bucket fan would rate this record as a break-off of his normal shred-o-matic style; noting that most shred-speed players of his caliber (or at least try), could never reach inside back far enough to have the soulful compassion of a ballad-style solo in any way like Buckethead does on Colma and this record.... and any of his other cross platform achievements.
This record just shows us fans that the Chicken Coop is never rested, and never without suprises.
Like Colma, but without the percussion....
"Colma Lite" .."full-filling, tastes great.."

5 out of 5 stars Dreamlike Guitar Voyage .......2006-12-05

Aaah, Buckethead. The man, the bucket, the mask, the myth. I was first introduced to Buckethead with the classic album "Monsters and Robots", which showcases his infamous and bizarrely schizophrenic style of instrumental guitar wizardry. "Electric Tears", however, shows a meditative, melodic and serene side of the man that was not only unexpected, but extremely enjoyable.

Like floating through a delerious state of near-sleep, this album will send your mind on a surreal inner journey. No percussion, no other instruments of any sort; just layer upon layer of acoustic and electric guitar that will overwhelm you in a wash of melody and texture. Neo-futuristic new age music unlike anything else I've heard. Recommended.

4 out of 5 stars Nice Ambient Music.......2006-11-06

Wonderful guitar. Ambient. Lovely. It's another genre that Buckethead has completely mastered.
