The opening track, "Teeth Like God's Shoeshine," explodes out of your speakers with sharp, see-sawing guitars and shouted vocals, an irresistible melange of angular rhythms and mighty, powerful dynamics. The rest of the songs are similarly pulled along by some unseen force, driven by an energy found in classic post-punk bands like Thinking Fellers Union Local 282 or Drunken Boat. Some reviewers have referenced the Pixies, and while that's not off the mark, this is more like the Pixies undergoing dental work--without anesthesia. --Lorry Fleming

Album Description

Issaquah, WA, indie rock trio MODEST MOUSE was formed in 1993 by vocalist/guitarist Isaac Brock, bassist Eric Judy, and drummer Jeremiah Green. This album was released in 1997 and was the band's first for US label MATADOR. And talk about original, the band has something for just about everyone! They can do quiet, brooding acoustics, dark and pounding thrashers, funky jump-around emo, just about anything.

masterful transition.......2007-07-09

i was listenting to crooked rain at work when a girl came up to me and said i should listen to modest mouse. two tears later i bought this album and cursed my stupidity in delay. brilliance is apparent throughout. great transitions between song sections that retain the former and herald the forthcoming masterfully. buy this album if you like pavement

No brainer.......2007-07-08

"Buy LCW and M&A together for 23.46!!"

Even if you were stranded in the desert and needed the 23.46 for gas money to get out, it would be worth it.

the best album ever.......2007-02-12

This was the first album I heard by Modest Mouse, months ago, and I absolutely fell in love. I just can't get enough of it. Brock's lisp is endearing and his lyrics are heartfelt poetry. Musically the songs on this album are diverse and catchy. Each song tells a story, and if you look close enough you'll find a deeper meaning. It's probably my favorite album by any band.

Another 5 star album from Modest Mouse? Yes, indeed........2007-01-21

Modest Mouse are ridiculous. They're just too good. They kill me.

I was sitting there with my friend drinking beer and he said "you know what you would like" and put on this cd. I can't believe I missed the entire modest mouse phenomenom!!! This is the greatest cd, especially song 6!!!

Blue Collar Gold Americana.......2007-07-03

Lonesome Jubilee is my favorite Mellencamp CD. I turn it up loud and and lose myself in the Americana, the earthy every-man stories that blue collar folks can relate to immediately. John's ability to tell stories of real people that you can actually visualize is his best talent. Whenever I listen to this CD, I am struck with the emotional depth and musical expertise of every musician playing in every cut.
I wore out my first copy, so I bought another one. IF you think you don't like Mellencamp, but have never heard this one, give it a real listen. This one and Scarecrow might change your mind.

Driving.......2007-05-29

This was purchased as driving music. And it's great for my long trip to the mountains to get away for the weekends every so often.
Really enjoying it

Back to basics.......2007-05-21

John Mellencamp, once again, shows his superb writing attributes in this record. Through catchy melodies, and consistent storylines, he shows why he's the best in showing what Middle America is all about.
By far, it's his best and most mature work in his career.

Good Stuff.......2007-02-08

Solid album - not quite as good as Mellencamp's "Scarecrow" and "Human Wheels" albums...but it's hard to top perfection

His Finest Hour.......2006-07-22

Maybe 1985's 'Scarecrow' was the album that elevated John Mellencamp to superstar status in the US but 'The Lonesome Jubilee'still remains musically,his boldest album.The album features nine musicians and himself, playing no less than 23 different instruments including dobro,banjo,congas,hammer dulcimer,fiddle and penny whistle.The result is a strong,rich,textured,stylish album which gets stronger with every listen.The main themes throughout 'The Lonesome Jubilee' are the hopes and aspirations of working class, blue collar Americans,particularly in the mid-west where Mellencamp was born and lives.The album begins with the uptempo 'Paper In Fire' an uptempo brassy opener.'Down And Out In Paradise' is about the struggle of everyday life .The first single taken from the album 'Check It Out' is about the disillusionment of being a family man, 'Going to work on Monday,you got yourself a family,all the utility bills have been paid,you can't tell your best buddy that you love him' he goes on to hope that the future generations that ride on the highways that we build have a better understanding.'Cherry Bomb' is an innocent,nostalgic tale of growing up and being in love when 'holding hands meant something'.'We Are The People' is about hope and optimism in a cold world as Mellencamp sings 'if you're feeling shut down may my thoughts be with you,if you're a black man being being shoved down and kicked all around then my thoughts are with you'.'Hard Times For An Honest Man' is exactly about what the title states whereas 'Hotdogs And Hamburgers' is a tale of injustice and forgiveness.'The Lonesome Jubilee' is basically a series of short realistic tales about life,love,hardship,hope and survival.It is at times melancholic but overall it is a deep,warm,folk rock record which in my opinion John Mellencamp has never bettered.

WONDERFUL SOUND TRACK!! INCREDIBLY MOVING AND BITTERSWEET!

Every track on this CD is worth listening to - it is so rare to own a CD that you do not press the 'skip' button occassionally!

I would highly encourage all who are interested to purchase this CD.

This movie score ranks with the best in capturing the spirit of the western theme. Already should be rated a classic.

THE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE.......2005-03-29

This is my favorite movie of all time. The casting was perfect for each character played in this movie. I couldnt make this movie more perfect than it was already made. Like i said the this is the best movie that has ever been made, and i have seen alot of movies.

A beautiful and pastoral soundtrack.......2002-12-26

Basil Poledouris, known mostly for his bombastic action music, gives us an extremely well composed lush, beautiful soundtrack to Lonesome Dove. The "Theme from Lonesome Dove" which opens the score is simply outstanding and is one of the most beautiful pieces of music i've ever heard. It is a perfect setting for the open plains and vast, pastoral landscape. This wonderful theme occurs differently in several other tracks and in full force in the final track, "Goodbye Ladies/Finale". "Night Mares" contains noble fanfares for horn and various percussion effects to accompany the theme once again. Other highlights are "On the Trail" with its upbeat drive to it and the final 2 tracks that take the breath away with that main theme. Also various instruments besides the regular symphony orchestra are used in this score to represent the setting of the film, such as fiddles, banjos, accordions, and the like. You can hear these instruments in tracks such as "Arkansas Pilgrim", "The Leaving", and "Murdering Horse Thieves". I think that Basil Poledouris should compose for more films like this because his music is truly amazing and leaves you wanting more. A very good soundtrack that gets the best rating and is well deserved.

The most Un-Scorpions like Scorpions album.......2006-06-28

But I prefer this one over some of the absolute disasters they churned out in the latter years.

How do I describe it? Where do I begin?

This is a brilliant album - one from their psychedelic eras. Not only does it have the phenomenal "Mad Axman" Michael Schenker ripping out riffs at the tender age of 16, it has Meine with his distinct vocals (unlike the, sadly, overtly nasal one he has now); big brother Rudolf on rhythmn, Wolfgang Dziony on the drums and Lothar Heimberg on the bass.

This unique combination would never be seen again - as the band broke up and reformed and broke up again in the aftermath of this album. Wolfgang & Lothar got married and got regular jobs at the local power plant. They reformed the band, started touring again, and got a record deal. They had to stop and serve their time in the German military. And then they went their separate ways (Michael would return for a short hit later).

That's a pity because it is my opinion that they had one of the better Bass & Drum partnerships here. Songs like "Inheritence" demonstrate Wolfgang's drumming while "Leave Me" displays Heimber'g bass. "I'm Going Mad" has the two of them providing a solid backdrop, setting the base for Meine, and the Schenkers to go ballistic. While neither one of them might be considered "greats" in their own rights - their partnership was fabulous.

And all throughout the album, the sweet, sharp, powerful wailing of Micheal Schenker's lead guitar. The Title Track is a treat in itself. While it was recorded for the German movie "Die Kalte Paradies", it's a phenomenal acid-space-hard rock track - something the Scorpions would never attempt again.

My recomendation? Get this album. Don't for a second imagine that this might ever sound like the chaps who churned out "Hurricane 2000" and "Wind of Change". If you like music from the 60s/70s era, I guarantee you wouldn't be disappointed!

The Kosmische Influence.......2005-06-01

I just want to add to the previous reviews of this album that one cannot forget the musical background were the Scorpions grew up in early seventies' Germany.
I have always heard in this album huge influences not only of the british groups but from local Kraut bands like Guru Guru, Brainstorm, Embryo, Cosmic Jockers, Ashra Temple, Tangerine dream and specially Eulenspygel.
I even go farther to believe that Aphrodite's Child (Vangelis first project back in 1970) has a lot to do with this record.
I have to add up that I totally agree with the fact that this is a remarkable album worth listening to it for at least 100 times.

The MOST UNDERRATED CLASSIC ROCK ALBUM OF ALL TIME..........2005-04-07

As the aforementioned reviews have informed, the music you hear on this album is not the least bit reflective of the more mainstream/commercial Scorpions work that most have come to know from albums such as "Blackout," and "Love At First Sting." However, the music is extraordinary, nonetheless. It is a nice blend/mix of rock (very progressive), freeform Jazz and even Fusion, and mellow Ambience. Think Black Sabbath and Zeppelin meets Pink Floyd, meets early Santana with some high-pitched vocals from Klaus Meine that are somewhat reminiscent of Robert Plant, but are very unique and distinct because of Klaus' thick German accent.

This album is a musical masterpiece in many ways. To begin, most of the members of the band were very young (Michael Schenker, the lead guitarist on the album was only 16 or 17 when the album was cut), and his guitar work is extraordinary. I have a book called The Masters of Heavy Metal, and in it, Schenker reports that he recorded the album with nothing more than a Gibson Les Paul and a Marshall (presumably turned all the way up), although some of the tracks reveal that schenker was playing through either a reverb unit in conjunction with the amp, or through an amp that has reverb. And it is more than safe to say that his guitar work stands out above Rudolf Schenker, who's "rhythm work" if you want to call it that on this album, is pushed way to the back. In fact the only guitar work I can really hear coming from him is the crazy pick-scraping/sliding found on the standout song, "Leave Me," which is by far, my favorite cut from the album. Though at times, this album appears to be just a free-form based recording, and there is no denying the Jazz free-form influence on this album, do not be fooled, these guys knew exactly what they were doing at such a young age! Schenker goes from basic rock pentatonic guitar work to various Jazz minor scales. The way this amazing guitar work fits into this album can only be explained from listening to it. It is an interesting contrast to the popular rock bands and albums that were out at the time, but a MUST HEAR album for all classic rock fans. I would put it up there with the first Black Sabbath album (1970), and first Zeppelin album (1969) as one of the best debut albums from a band. BUY IT AND LISTEN, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

Uh, it's pretty weird but still good.......2004-12-27

Even though this album is not really a favorite of mine it still deserves a good (4 star) rating becaues it is very solid for a band debut.This is more of a mellow blues/rock album from the Scorpions and resembles nothing they would do in the future.The Scorpions wouldn't put out a truely rocking hardrock album until 2 years later with thier second album FLY TO THE RAINBOW with Jon Uli Roth, but thit album is still exellent, and Micheal Shenker is on lead axe full time on this! and we all know how wonderful he is on guitar!The songs hear have alot of emotion in them to. This reminds me acctualy of Black Sabbaths debut because it is more of a blues/jam session and the songs are less structered. Overall a good album.

My Favorite Scorpions Album.......2004-12-12

I was stunned but estatic to see so many Lonesome Crow Reviews. I became a fan around the Animal Magnetism era, own every studio album (and like them all more or less) & have seen them 6 times in concert. But, with 30+ years under their belts I concluded that L.Crow is a true masterpiece. A one of a kind that literally transports the listener to a different dimension of time and space (as much if not more than the best Pink Floyd it seems & I love P.F.)

This album is a true time capsule of the early 70's. A period that didn't care about top 40 radio hits. It's hauntingly beautiful, a work of art that leaves the listener in awe that the human race is capable of such creativity and grace. Oh, how I wish they could replicate the sounds again today on more albums but it seems to be a timecaspule of that era and that point in the Scorpions career where they weren't "trapped" commercially by their own success.

I wonder if the band gets nostalgic thinking about their youthful and idealistic youths when they made this album? If anyone knows how to contact the band, please give them my grateful thanks for creating this "not of this earth" piece of music which has certainly expanded my musical world. No LSD required. Oddly enough, last week while driving to work and listening to the title track, I came upon an actual "Lonesome Crow" in the street that was working on the carcass of some road kill. I found the irony a bit spooky and funny. The (heavy metal?) gods couldn't resist the joke I guess.

Vince Gill Sings My Heart.......2005-07-29

I love Vince Gill's music. His sweet, mellow vocals embrace you and take you on a journey of heart and soul. His musical versatility makes him a singer for all seasons. I highly recommend "High Lonesome Sound"!

Diverse, Well Written - Appeals to Country & Mainstream Fans.......2004-11-10

In the 1990s, the Country Music began to go through some transitions. Country music which had for the most part stayed in a vacuum began to go mainstream and embrace other genres of music. As a result, the sound started to change. By the end of the 90s, Country Music had full blown established music superstars in Shania Twain and Faith Hill. One may argue that Twain and Hill have deviated from their Country Music roots - and to some extent I can agree with that argument. I do think that other Country Music artists have found a way to go toward the mainstream while keeping to their Country Music roots. One such artist is Vince Gill, who proves his album "High Lonesome Sound" that it possible to go mainstream and keep to the roots of Country Music. In addition, Gill also proves that the end product can be something that is very enjoyable.

By no means do I consider myself a Country Music expert. The nice thing about "High Lonesome Sound" is that I believe it caters to a fan like myself that may not be deep into Country Music, but can appreciate many of the elements Country Music can bring to the table. While Gill's Country Music could be directed to a more casual fan like myself, I think Gill does an admirable job at addressing the fan who is deeper when it comes to the Country Music genre. Vince Gill also isn't afraid to explore some different directions - and I think this goes a long way for helping this become more appealing to the mainstream fan.

Gill assembles a nice cast of studio musicians to help him on this effort. The most noteable musician is Leland Sklar on Bass. Sklar is best known for being a part of Phil Collins "Serious" band. He was the long hair, long bearded bass player. Sklar does an admirable job on Bass on this collection. There are also some noteable vocalists that help Gill out. Patty Loveless does harmony vocals on "Given More Time" while Shelby Lynne lends vocals on the tune "You and You Alone". Lynne's vocals really connect well with Gill and I wish they would do more work together. Other vocalists, Jeff White and Kim Richey lend some terrific background vocals on multiple tracks.

The opening track is "One Dance With You". When you listen to "One Dance with You", there immediately is a feeling for a country sound. However, there almost is a Doo-Wop-ish type of theme to this song. This Doo Wop-ish theme can be heard in the melody as well as some of the names that are in the lyrics ("Peggy Sue", "Mary Lou", etc). This is a very nice track and appealed to a casual fan like myself.

The title track "High Lonesome Sound" appears on the collection twice. This is a very Country sounding tune that is a very catchy tune. This song is the second track and the last track. The difference is the latter track has Alison Krauss and Union Station helping out with this song. You will hear a stronger fiddle element on the latter track that will give it a much more of a "Dixie Music" feel to it. Alison Krauss plays fiddle on that track and also lends background vocals to both of the tracks. I find the earlier track is the one that will appeal to a more mainstream fan, but the latter track isn't bad either.

The most popular track is the ballad "Pretty Little Adriana". This is definitely a cross-over track. Although it does sound more Pop/Adult Contemporary-ish - the gentle melodies and powerful vocals of this song I still think remain true to the Gill's Country Music Roots.

Another song where Gill does things a bit different is the song "Down to New Orleans". While Gill explored a Dixie sound on the latter version of "High Lonesome Sound", Gill integrates some Jazz and Blues sounding elements into a definite "New Orleans" feel of a song. Once again, Gill doesn't abandon his Country Music Roots and the end result is another great product.

Gill also proves he can be an outstanding storyteller. This is shown on the track "Jenny Dreamed Of Trains". This is an oustanding written song by both Vince Gill and Guy C. Clark. A lot of this song reminds me of Dan Fogelberg. It has a Dan Fogelberg-like soft piano introduction for about one minute. The song then proceeds to be a story in which he tells the story of a girl named Jenny who had a love of trains and then deals with the decline of the railroads in the U.S.. Another song in which Gill tells a nice story is "Given More Time" in which Gill portrays himself as a Working Man trying to balance time with his family. The song "Worlds Apart" is also very well written and deals with a couple going through empty nest syndrome and starting to question the love between them. There is a pause a little after 4 minutes into the song - giving it a very powerful effect.

Another good track that is very enjoyable is "A Little More Love" is another example of a Country Music song that appealed to a mainstream fan like myself.

The liner notes do contain all of the lyrics to all of the tunes. They do a nice job at lining up the studio musician credits to each song. This album pretty much surprised me. I originally wanted it for the song "Pretty Little Adriana", but I ended up discovering so much more. I especially got hooked on the title track. I also discovered what a diverse musician and talent that Vince Gill is. I think this is the perfect album to introduce yourself to Vince Gill and I think Gill fans will not be disappointed with this collection. I'd recommend adding it to your collection.

Maintaining the expected quality.......2004-06-10

Vince has a very distinctive voice, which he uses to good effect on this interesting collection. Vince wrote or co-wrote all the songs, which are an excellent mix of ballads, mid-tempo and up-tempo songs.

Perhaps the strangest song is Jenny dreamed of trains, about a girl living near a deserted railroad. I wonder what inspired Vince to write this song, which was covered by John Denver for his train song album, All aboard.

Two versions of the up-tempo title track are included, both with Vince singing lead and Alison Krauss sing harmony but with one featuring Alison Krauss's band, Union Station, giving the song a bluegrass treatment. Apart from Alison, other harmony singers featured on the album include Kim Richey (A little more love), Patty Loveless (Given more time) and Shelby Lynne (You and you alone).

Other outstanding songs include Pretty little Adriana and Down in New Orleans, but every song here is worth hearing.

While I don't regard this as Vince's best album (my favorite is When I call your name), it has much to commend it. No self-respecting fan of Vince's music should be without it.

My First Vince CD Won't Be My Last.......2003-02-28

I bought this because of "Pretty Little Adriana" and "Worlds Apart", which are two of the prettiest songs I have ever heard from anybody. I ended up discovering some of Vince's most outstanding material that never got the attention it deserved. "You and You Alone" is a really good love song, and the 2 versions of "High Lonesome Sound" are one of a kind. I would recommend this album in a second, especially if you like songs with plenty of heart and true emotion.

a classic from Vince Gill.......2003-02-27

A very nice album from Vince Worlds apart are a classic and one of his greatest songs definately get it if you are vince gill fan he has one of the nicest smoothest voices in theis album so definately listen to it

Old and in the Way.......2007-05-12

If you likes The Grateful Dead and if you like bluegrass, then this is something you have to have

Jerry Garcia and former Blue Grass Boys put on a good show.......2006-02-25

This awesome album combines the signature rough vocals of Jerry Garcia (who also plays banjo!) with the crisp mandolin sound of David Grisman, agile fiddling of Vassar Clements, and solid guitar of Peter Rowan in a collection that pulls heavily from the repertoire of Bill Monroe's old Blue Grass Boys. Bluegrass fans and Garcia fans alike will enjoy this enthusiastic live performance by Old and In the Way.

Just gets better and better ..........2002-01-17

I bought this album because it's considered a classic, and because I love the fiddle stylings of Vassar Clements. At first I was irked by some out-of-tune vocal harmonies (it's live, after all). But I kept the album on and set the CD player to continuous play. Well, the second time it started at the beginning, I was hooked. I listened a couple more times and had to force myself to turn it off. It is really a true gem of an album. Vassar's fiddling is top-notch, a great example of his classic licks and style. Garcia, Grisman and Rowan also rock. This is indeed a classic bluegrass album, and should be in any respectable collection.

Bluegrass lovers.......1999-07-28

This CD is great! If you are not a bluegrass fan, it will certainly make you one! Some of Jerry Garcia's finest work without his electric guitar. He sure picks a mean banjo!

top notch stompin' fun!.......1999-02-11

Listen to this classic, bluegrass sound and you'll be hard pressed not to become a foot stompin', leg-smackin bluegrass fanatic in no time. This is blue ribbon bluegrass!

With a voice that could crack the same cement he worked all his adult life, Roscoe Holcomb, along with Dock Boggs, Wade Ward, and Banjo Bill Cornett, was one of the most searing singers and pickers of the Appalachian banjo style. He performed mostly in Holiness Church services and impromptu square dances, and his style was never polished by an extensive professional career. His banjo playing is distinguished by speedy, irregular meter, and seems to mimic his vocal approach (or vice versa). First released in 1965, this John Cohen edited collection includes the well-known traditional cuts "Moonshiner" and "House of the Rising Sun," and is fleshed out by the guitar playing of Mike Seeger. --Roy Francis Kasten

Album Description

The legendary Roscoe Holcomb performs 21 powerful songs shaped by the hard times and conflict between old and new that marked his life in the Kentucky mountains. A hard-hitting singer and banjo-player, he also performs unaccompanied ballads, banjo and harmonica solos, and with a guitar. These recordings from 1961, 1964, and 1974 were previously released on three different Folkways LP records and had a powerful influence on the folk music revival. Accompanied by extensive new notes and photographs by John Cohen. 71 minutes. "Roscoe Holcomb is a true genius." -San Francisco Chronicle

Real Americana.......2007-01-22

The title characterizes the music; it's high lonesome music at its best. No high tech mixing, just honest, straight from the heart music that has been passed down from generation to generation, with Roscoe Holcomb's distinct voice and style of play. A must for the serious "old-timey" music collector.

A must buy for fans of good music.......2005-08-26

I'm not gonna get up on my high horse like some people do on these Amazon reviews, but I will say this: The High Lonesome Sound is a CD I have never gotten sick of. It is probably the best bluegrass/old timey album I've ever bought.
Holcomb's vocals, particularily on the first track, give me goose bumps every time I hear it. His harmonica playing and banjo picking is distinctive and first rate. If you are a fan of older music, bluegrass, blues or country... BUY THIS CD!

Peculiar, Strange, Moving, and Powerful.......2003-07-22

My wife gave me this recording several years ago as a birthday gift. After listening to it once or twice (and reading the fascinating and impassioned liner notes), I set it aside as odd, strange, and most peculiar. Although Mr. Holcomb is a fluid instrumentalist, his voice is so high and unusual that I did not see how his songs could bear repeated listening.

I was wrong, about as wrong as a body could be. A couple of years later, I picked up the recording again and listened to it with care. The peculiar and high-pitched voice grows on you, and the powerful and honest delivery is moving in the most compelling way. I now think that Roscoe Holcomb stands on a par with Blind Willie Johnson (in his time an equally obscure and strange singer) as one of the greatest exponents of American-born and bred music. This recording grows on you. I'm extremely grateful that this legacy of Holcomb's great artistry has been preserved for those of us who did not have the joy of listening to his searing voice and delivery while he still lived.

Roscoe Holcomb: Beautiful Untamed Master.......2003-07-14

This review is for THE HIGH LONESOME SOUND and also for AN UNTAMED SENSE OF CONTROL.

After many years of listening to the recordings of Roscoe Holcomb, of letting myself become intimately open to and familiar with them, of brooding upon them, then listening some more, I am convinced (conviction)that the true reason that Roscoe Holcomb has never become widely recognized and acknowleged in America as one of the greatest artists to ever live out some seventy odd years on its soil is not because he spent most of his life in the little backwoods community of Daisy, Kentucky where people have strange, unpleasant accents. Or rather I should say that that is only the apparent reason, the pretext. It is rather because wider American 'culture' can not embrace expression of such depth and intensity of unfiltered feeling, such depth of undecorated honesty, such depth and directness of response to life, such depth of raw, unpretentious beauty, such depth of blazing strength and haunted vulnerability, and such fierceness of unambitious artistic focus, without being intensely confronted by its own utter mediocrity.
American 'culture', which has been reduced to the hustling entertainment of an endless carnival, is tyranically controlled by capitalistic business interests and academic prejudice and pretension (backed by more capitalism). Its dominant characteristic on all levels is manipulation and self-interest. Its pseudo-passion is akin to simple lust. Roscoe Holcomb's genuine passion is a raw response to, and an unpretentious but fiercely focused hunger for, truth. He is a guileless, intelligent, aware, sensitive, gifted Kentucky 'hillbilly' who is far too large in soul to be drawn in by the smug, meretricious banality of American 'culture'. He is a grim and beautiful reminder of what wider America might have been.
As an artist and a man, he is indifferent to the illusions of 'civilized' high life, but he has no illusions about the facts of poverty and want. He is a mature, decent, gifted man trying to walk a truthful path through a bewildering maze, a man burning with life and love and suffering, and passionately confronting death and producing great art in response.
The art of his singing and playing, though clothed in Appalachian style, reaches beyond the conditioned behavior of any historical time-period, it reaches into primal emotion. He reaches into ancient, even primitve, feeling. But he is far from being unsophisticated. I am amazed by the people who claim to admire Holcomb, then submit to the terms of his critics by conceding that he is "unpolished, but...", or some such rot. Holcomb's musical knowledge, his vocal and instrumental ability, and his artistic imagination and insight are highly sophisticated and anyone who can not see this simply can not see Roscoe Holcomb. The fact that Holcomb was born in a setting that afforded him no "education' is utterly trivial and has no bearing on his artistic greatness. When, in his matchless version of LITTLE MAGGIE (UNTAMED SENSE OF CONTROL), he vocally holds that maj. 2nd (of all things!) as in the line:

low d o w n sorry man

he is being highly original and highly sophiticated. He knows exactly what he is doing, but he is not doing it for the sake of originality or sophistication, but for its artistic truth-value.
And Holcomb is quite capable of 'polish'. Listen to his beautiful mellow vibrato in his a capella version of MOONSHINER (THE HIGH LONESOME SOUND). If he usually gives his music a jagged edge it is because he has a conviction that it takes him closer to truth. I think here of another great and abused American artist, Herman Melville, who wrote:

"Truth uncompromisingly told will always have its jagged edges."

If you share this interest in truth then I would suggest that you get THE HIGH LONESOME SOUND and AN UNTAMED SENSE OF CONTROL and listen and listen and listen and learn about art and life from this master, burning intensely, though quietly, unambitiously, lost in the crowd.

Not bad.......2003-02-13

This is a great CD. Featuring good ol' time music. This has been in my CD player for weeks and I'm still not tired of listening to it. Great value.

Excellence!.......2007-04-22

These recordings range back to 1994, with a number of tracks being from Silva Screen's "Music from the Films of Clint Eatwood" compilation, with Derek Wadsworth conducting the City of Prague Philharmonic.

Those tracks are: "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly", "A Fistful of DOllars", "For a Few Dollars More", and "Two Mules for Sister Sara". "In The Line Of Fire' also appeared on that CD, performed electronically by Mark Ayres.

The next bunch of tracks is from Silva Screen's 1996 compilation, "Cinema Paradise: The Classic Film Music of Ennio Morricone", which included the majority of tracks here such as the extensive The Mission Suite, The Untouchables, Casulaties of War, Once Upon a Time In America, 1900, Chi Mai, Marco Polo, Once Upon a Time In The West (two tracks), Cinema Paradise, and The Good the Bad and the Ugly - Ecstacy of Gold, mostly being conducted by Paul Bateman, with Nic Raine doing some of the conducting duties as well.

Hamlet is from Silva's 1997 "Cinema's Classic Romances" compilation, while "The Thing" is from Silva's 2001 "Essential John Carpenter".

A Fistful of Dynamite - Duck You Sucker is from 2002's Way Out West: Essential Western Film Music Collection Volume Two.

The remaing tracks were newly recorded in 2004 for this release:
Days of Heaven, Exorcist II, Guns for San Sebastian, Moses the Lawgiver, My Name is Nobody, The Five Man Army, The Red Tent, The Men From Shiloh and The Sicilian Clan.

Highly recommended.

"his domain of film scoring is legendary ~ Ennio Morricone".......2004-10-07

Silva America once again has outdone themselves with "Once Upon A Time:The Essential Ennio Morricone Film Music Collection", a double disc collection worth their weight in GOLD! ~ Morricone creates visual moods for each film he scores...action, adventure, mystery, romance, sentimental and suspense...the list could go on.

Ennio Morricone was born in Rome on October 11, 1928...attended the Santa Cecilia Conservatory...worked in various jazz bands, later a staff arranger and composer...an orchestrator in the '50s...scored films in the early '60s, then the WESTERNS and his name became a household word in the film industry ~ a new kind of western was on the horizon and Morricone was commissioned to score "A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS" [1964] for Sergio Leone featuring Clint Eastwood, spaghetti westerns were born ~ next "FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE" [1965] ~ and a bigger budget film "THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY" [1966], again featuring Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and a third Eli Wallach whose performance was magical to watch on the big screen ~ violence and revenge gives Morricone an opportunity to feature electric guitars, flutes and jew's harp blending with a non lyrical chorus mixed with brass, strings, percussion with full orchestration that simply took your breath away...example is "ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST" [1968], featuring Henry Fonda, Claudia Cardinale, Jason Robards and our hero Charles Bronson the mysterious harmonica player, director Sergio Leone's tribute to the American Western, pulled out all the stops ~ the Western was just a small part of Maestro Morricone's career, in the next paragraph take a gander of just what our icon of film music accomplished.

Our composer didn't stop there as "ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA" [1984], featuring Robert De Niro, James Woods and Elizabeth McGovern, another Sergio Leone film..."THE MISSION" [1986], featuring Robert De Niro, Jeremy Irons and Aldan Quinn, is probably one of Morricone's crowning scores receiving an Academy Award nomination, very haunting and classical genre in substance..."THE UNTOUCHABLES" [1987], featuring Kevin Costner, Sean Connery and Robert De Niro during the Al Capone '30s crime organization, Morricone conjures a powerful and dynamic arrangement of his unmistakable theme..."CINEMA PARADISO" [1988], featuring Phillippe Noiret, Antonella Attili and Pupella Maggio from director Giuseppe Tomatore as he recalls his early childhood, the score immediately captures your heart, so tender and compelling as Morricone can only deliver.

City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra featuring conductors Kenneth Alwyn, Paul Bateman, James Fitzpatrick, Nic Raine, Derek Wadsworth ~ Crouch End Festival Chorus featuring Choir Master David Temple ~ vocals performed by Charlotte Kinder, Marie Kopecka and Jill Washington ~ guitar, percussion and keyboards performed by Gareth Williams ~ all in all did a magnicent job in bringing the music of a composer who wrote for over 250 films, receiving recognition from the industry and fans which was long over-due ~ his work is in constant demand, scoring as many as over a half dozen films as year.

This collection contains an overlay of each cue in Morricone's distinctive style of legendary scoring ~ the man who made this possible, a tremendous asset to every project he undertakes is James Fitzpatrick [producer of the album] ~ symphonic suites with full orchestra fullfilling the "film-score-buffs" cravings for more of the same, just the way we like 'em!

Quantity Over Quality.......2007-01-15

As a musician myself, I know too well that one of the most important ingredients in ANY performance (live or recorded) is passion. The recordings here generally lack the same passion and sheer drama of the originals. Much of the instrumentation has been reduced to a cheezy, thin, plastic synthesized replica. The performances are simply a watered-down lackluster version of the classic originals. If it were not for the sheer volume of tracks compiled here, I would have rated the comp only "one star".

Mediocre.......2006-05-17

The sound quality for this collection isn't much better than the samples offered by Amazon.

One Hundred Greatest TV Themes.......2005-08-06

I have watched almost all the shows that are on these 4 cd's. Many were made before I started watching TV. Most I've seen once or twice before.

Pretty close to original recordings.......2005-07-24

Definitely not as good as the originals. You'll probably notice the slight differences since it's stuff you saw and listened to every week or everyday in reruns growing up, but it's still an amazing collection.

Really Good Collection.......2004-07-11

I bought this in part because it had soundtracks to tv shows that are unavailable. My husband and I watch aome British programming. Many of the theme songs are for what seems like obscure British shows. That said; it has been enjoyable to hear music that I would normally never hear. Some music does sound tinny; some are very very rich, and some music is derived from actual preformances from the original artists. I think this is worth buying because is has a wonderful blend of music. The pieces are full soundtracks so they includes the parts of the theme song which are often edited out. I think the orchestra's who preformed the music did a great job. I have MonsterMania which redoes the soundtracks to the Godzilla movies. The interpretation is less heavy and stark than the preformance we associate with the original soundtrack; but I regard it as a new way to appreciate the music and all the componets which make the song unique.
