Even those who scoff at the idea that rock & roll is the devil's music have to think twice when listening to Pantera. The pill-popping, strip-bar-ogling, beer-guzzling Texas combo takes Metallica's speed-metal cues to new heights of brutality and sacrilege. Fortunately, they're extremely good at what they do. The polyrhythmic complexity of Vinnie Paul's drumming in "Psycho Holiday" and guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell's breathtaking solo in "Heresy" are examples of state-of-the-art metal musicianship. Vocalist Phil Anselmo often sounds like Metallica's James Hetfield, but his brooding croon on "Cemetery Gates" and his falsetto screams on the blindingly fast "Shattered" are more like vintage Deep Purple. Released in 1990, Cowboys made Pantera one of metal's top draws during an era in which it was almost eclipsed by alternative rock. --James Rotondi

duh.......2007-06-08

Who wouldn't love this first mass produced Pantera album? YOu'd have to not have ear drums, or a brain.

Good?.......2007-05-16

I bought this ancient cd at a thrift store, donated back 3 days later. I didn't find this cd all that great. Cowboys from hell was the only good song. everything else on this cd is just noisy boring riffs with typical guitar solos that have been done to death by millions of other players. The song structure is typical verse-chorus-verse-chorus-verse-guitar solo-chorus. This is one of the main reason I don't listen to modern day music except rap (underground). Dimebagg Darrel needed alittle more practice, He is not a Legend. Don't get me wrong, he died horribly. But come on people.. A Legend??! They are hundreds of amazing blues and jazz guitarist that have had a short life and they didn't get the praise they deserve.
Phil cannot sing (scream). He sounds like he's singing on the toilet and taking a huge dump. The drummer is so-so. And I cant even hear the bassist.
I tried to give this album a chance but I always fall sleep halfway through the album. I don't understand why is this album so popular maybe I have poor taste.. whatever it is I still give it 2 stars for the effort and the 1st track.

pick yourself up a copy...or download it.......2007-01-17

just make sure to pick up this CD Before you die so you can spend your last moments knowing you listened to what metal really is!

BY IT! NOW! I dare you!.......2006-11-06

This album is probably one of the more important metal releases. Ever. It;s not as pivotal as Black Sabbath, Kill 'Em All, Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets, Peace Sells, Reign in (fake)Blood, Welcome to Hell, or Ace of Spades. However, it is better than most of the above. And it's almost as pivotal. See, this was the first groove metal album, and I'ma gonna go out on a limb here and say this is the best metal album of the 90's, calling RATM hard rock. See, if you like a good riff, this is it. The best riffing album ever. And if you liked Tony Iommi's guitar style, but wished he'd gone even crazier, this is it. Aside from Tom Morello, Dimebag has the most unique guitar style (and coolest name), period. And it's cool. This album is not recommended for people who can't deal with high-pitched vocals, though. They might be more intrested in the follow up, Vulgar Display of Power, which is just that. Anyhow...great songs about. Everything on here is solid, but Cowboys From Hell, Shattered (highest note ever!), Heresy, Message in Blood, The Art of Shredding (which does not have a shred solo), The Sleep, Medicine Man, Psycho Holiday, and the nice ballad Cemetary Gates are the best. Although that only leaves 2 tracks to be considered "filler." And they're both solid bits of thrash/groove metal. Through and through, this album is great. It's fast and heavy, except for 2 slowdowns, and the riffing is awesome. The lyrics are cool and dark, but without either going all emo on us, or being stupid pointlessly violent Slayer-esque stuff...a unique and brilliant album. Buy it. Or don't. But before making up your mind, listen to Cowboys From Hell. Then buy it.

I cant say this is better then Vulgar display of power...But I will!.......2006-07-27

I got this recently and actually I thought it deserved 5 stars!A very good album which has some of there best songs.
1. Cowboys From Hell:This song is very bland.Not many times it changes and mostly from beginning to the end Phil is screaming like AC/DC with some growls and starts with a pick sliding on the guitar when some bass slashes on and slashes on again untill we hear what sounds like water spraying and then in comes the heavy,fast guitar and then stops to do the riff without th buzz and then we hear "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!COME ON!" it leads to "OVERLASTIN' AS WE STAND TALL!NO ROCKIN' CAUSE I SAID UH!SHOUT DOWN!ITS TOO LOUD NO LOOK AND YOU CANT TURN BACK!!" and then he growls "YOU SEE US COMING AT YOU ALLTOGETHER RUN FOR COVER!We're taking over this town" a definate good song.Heavy and sounds like it was recorded in 1977.10/10
2. Primal Concrete Sledge:very heavy with fast riffs starting it and sludge riffs flying everywhere at once and shouts and screams.Good and a huge rocker!10/10
3. Psycho Holiday:Just say that this is psycho and that it is a holiday and pretty much yeah it is.10/10
4. Heresy:Great heavy song with screeching riffs and a great solo.
5. Cemetery Gates:Starts acoustic and then incomes the famous heavy riff and then acoustic comes and great calm vocals of "Reverend Reverend I feel it crawling in the night" and "Sometimes when I'm alone" this song is more calm but the best song because of its shouting chorus "WELL I GUESS YOU TOOK MY YOUTH AND GAVE IT ALL AWAY! IT WAS THE START OF A NEW FRONT DOOR BEFORE THE MEMORY!AND WHEN SHE DIED!I COULDNT CRY I PUSHED MYSELF OUTDOOR!!!!YOU LEFT ME!IF YOU PLEASE!ALL ALONE AND THE MEMORY SELLS IT APAaart!"The way we were...I will unlock my door.And pass the cemetary gates."Great song.11/10
6. Domination:A return to heaviness with growls and screams!10/10
7. Shattered:Good but very heavy.10/10
8. Clash With Reality:Nice Clash.10/10
9. Medicine Man:Flashback to metallica.12/10
10. Message In Blood:WOW!10/10
11. The Sleep:The name says it all.
12. The Art Of Shredding:Same here.Teaches you how to SHRED!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!!!

GREAT COLLECTION BY THE INTRUDERS, BUT...........2006-12-18

THIS IS A GREAT COLLECTION BY ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED SOUL GROUPS OF ALL TIME . I LOVE THE INTRUDERS: THE LATE , GREAT SAM "LITTLE SONNY" BROWN , EUGENE "BIRD " DAUGHTRY (ALSO , SADLY, NO LONGER WITH US) SONGWRITER PHILLIP "PHIL" TERRY,AND ROBERT "BIG SONNY" EDWARDS.THEIR RECORDS WERE ALL FANTASTIC , AND THEY HAD A SOUND QUITE UNLIKE ANY OTHER GROUP, BUT.....LET'S BE HISTORICALLY ACCURATE HERE . THE SONG " I'M GIRL SCOUTIN" WAS N O T THE ONLY INTRUDERS SONG NOT TO FEATURE "LITTLE SONNY" BROWN ON LEAD. ROBERT FERGUSON , BETTER KNOWN AS "BOBBY STARR" DID REPLACE "LITTLE SONNY" AS LEAD SINGER OF THE GROUP FOR A TIME ,{AND LEADS A NEW GROUP OF INTRUDERS TODAY), BUT, IN ADDITION TO SINGING ON THEIR HIT " I'M GIRL SCOUTIN", HE ALSO LEAD ON THE HITS, "I BET HE DON'T LOVE YOU (LIKE I LOVE YOU)", "THIS IS MY LOVE SONG",AND "PRAY FOR ME". TO THIS DATE, NOT A SINGLE INTRUDERS "GREATEST HITS" COLLECTION (ON CD OR VINYL) HAS INCLUDED ANY OF THESE BOBBY STARR- LED SONGS... NOR HAVE THEY INCLUDED THE "LITTLE SONNY"-LED EARLIER HIT "DEVIL WITH AN ANGELS SMILE" FROM THEIR NOW CLASSIC COLLECTORS ITEM 1ST ALBUM " THE INTRUDERS ARE TOGETHER " {WHICH ALSO, BY THE WAY,STILL HAS YET TO SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY ON CD.}UNTIL THESE SONGS ARE INCLUDED , THERE WILL NEVER BE A DEFINITIVE INTRUDERS "GREATEST HITS" COLLECTION...SO HOW ABOUT ABOUT IT, GAMBLE AND HUFF ?

Intruders.......2006-08-14

WoW! Awesome. There's is nothing to compare to this. This is classic old school. I love it!

Yes, The Album is as Great as Others are Saying.......2006-01-02

I know I'm not Original here, as the Previous 13 Reviews have awarded the Same 5 Stars to this Release, but I feel the need to Echo the sentiment. The Intruders, led by the Unmistakable Hurting/Cracking, Passionate Voice of Little Sonny Brown, are Grossly Underappreciated, These Songs stand among the Greatest in Soul History, Gems like "Together", "I Wanna Know Your Name", "Love is Like a Baseball Game", "United", and on and on....and the Long Version of "I'll always love My Mama", where Pt. 2 of the song (the second half, if you will, as listed on My Original 45 Copy I bought in 1973) has the Intruders Rapping, Playing the "Dozens", quite interesting to hear still; An Absolute MUST for Your Music Library...I am Pleased to have seen the Intruders Perform at Constitution Hall in D.C. in 1993, reunited with Little Sonny after Many Years away...The Pain in His Voice One Hears in many of these Songs was Real, Little Sonny Jumped from a Bridge near Philadelphia to His Death in 1995......RIP

Intruders.......2005-12-21

These are the Intruders at their best, All their hit songs and more, An excellent CD.

Good popular music........2005-08-14

The interesting issue about this recording is that Williams himself directs. It is always a plus to listen to music played by its author. Average performance by the orchestra.

Still great!.......2005-07-23

John Williams has the magic of translating music from movies. Even not watching the movies themselves, you can still understand what's happening because of the music that comes with it.

I'm happy the music industry compiled this marvellous CD together. It has all the greatest hits like Luke and Leia, Indiana Jones march and the star wars main theme. These songs are really some of the great examples of Williams' finest.

Even if the music isn't really that clear in movies, it's still gives a great impact on the stories. If you watch a movie made up of only dialogues and fights, what's the thrill, we can see fights anytime anywhere. So the element that makes the movies really attractive and interesting is the music itself.

Kirstie Mabitad

Great Performances as well as Music.......2005-04-06

When I picked up this CD I was amazed. I am a big Williams fan and love the Boston Pops. All the pieces are well done and flawless (except for some small tempo issues in "1941") Though all the peices stand out the handsdown best is "The Cowboys" Overture. The ritch sound as well as the great musicmanship make this a joy to here. Another good highlight is the "Midway" March. Midway was a relitivley underated score being in the middle of "Jaws" and "Star Wars" (Both of witch are also on the CD but, Jaws could have had solid feeling but is otherwise performed rather great) The rousing March in my opinion is as rousing as "Raiders of the Lost Ark" or "Superman" (Both yet again are on the CD and Superman's opening is absolutly breathtaking even better than the actual soundtrack. The Trumpet and French Horn fanfare makes you yourself visualize the might of the man of steel himself. But the Midway march is given a stunning representaion with the ritch, lush sound of the Boston Pop's brass section. The CD also has some of John Williams music for the concert stage such as the well known Olympic Fanfare (1984 Los Angeles), The Liberty Fanfare as well as the Mission Theme (The NBC news anthem) all offer a nice break from the movie scores. The only down side to the CD is that because it was made in 1987 it doesn't have music from Hook, Far and Away, Schindler's List and of course Jurassic Park. But even though it lacks Williams' early 90's scores its always a Joy to listen to as well as a treat for the ears. So i give it two thumbs up and *****.
I advise any John Williams/Boston Pops fan not to let this gem slip through their fingers! ;)

De Williams los Boston lo mejor..........2004-12-14

John Williams ademas ser un compositor sin igual es un extraordinario director es asi como en conjunto con Los Boston Pops logra grabaciones espectaculares.
Entonces lo mejor de Williams a cargo de Williams junto con los POps es sorprendente, la obertura de "Cowboys" es grandiosa, Encuentros cercanos es fantastica, asi igual lo son la marcha para superman, Indiana Jones, de Darth Vader y la menos conocida para Midway. En resumen lo mejor de Williams en unas interpretaciones increibles, y nadie que se queje que no son las originales porque suenan incluso como la Sinfonica de Londres, y eso es mas de lo que uno espera. Grandioso.

Williams at His Finest....as of 1987.......2003-07-13

For fans looking for a sampler of John Williams' music circa 1987, this CD is a treasure trove of selected movie and special occasion themes. While not as comprehensive as Sony Classical's Greatest Hits 1969-1999 collection, there is enough variety to satisfy even the most casual Williams fan. Included here among his famous themes (Star Wars, ET, Superman, and Raiders of the Lost Ark) are his 1984 Olympic Fanfare, "The Mission" (NBC News theme), and the rousing Overture to the John Wayne film The Cowboys. As always, the Boston Pops Orchestra shines under the baton of Hollywood's -- and America's -- favorite composer!

rickie lee jones.......2007-06-19

written for her daughter love the poetry about horses, being free and cowboys.the music and words flow together.

I've Only Heard (and Seen) "Ghetto of My Mind"; Wow!.......2005-05-07

Over the years I have videotaped many Saturday Night Live programs, and the one which featured RLJ was near the one which featured Neil Young's great performance of "Keep On Rockin' (in the Free World)" so I kept that tape.

What I did not know - my videotaping habits then were better than my viewing habits - was that RLJ had an astonishing performance of "Ghetto" literally mesmerizing! Doesn't matter that the song alone couldn't equal the performance in 1989, that kind of performance was so unique in the best sense of the term that I will buy the CD without hearing even one other song segment.

Sorry I can't share that video with everyone who posted to this CD. You deserve it!

A Definite "Desert Island" Disc.......2005-01-22

Although released in 1989, Flying Cowboys remains one of my favorite musical pieces in my entire collection of CDs and definitely one of the most essential in Jone's discography. It's high on my list of must haves if I was to be stranded on the immortal "desert isle".

Jones has always been a talented songwriter and always had a creative knack for telling her musical tales using vivid characters and lush musical arrangements. With some help from producer/songwriter/musician Walter Becker (from Steely Dan), she scores big on this project. The end result here is a mostly upbeat, poetic & jazzy collection of folk/pop with the exception of "Ghost Train". Although "Ghost Train" doesn't seem to fit into the mood of the whole, it is one of my favorites. It works extremely well in illustrating Jone's talent at more bluesier vocals and her overall versatility. From the ethereal "The Horses" to the calypso tinged "Love is Gonna Bring Us Back Alive", the other selections are upbeat, smoothly poetic and mildly romantic. Smooth jazz artist Vonda Shephard (from the Allie McBeal series soundtrack)and jazz great Randy Brecker also perform on a couple of selections.

For those not familiar with Rickie Lee Jones, I highly recommend Flying Cowboys.

I gotta agree...........2003-04-02

...it's one of the finest albums you could own. Each time I listen, it reveals more to me and I can't stop listening. It's "perfect for all occasions" type of CD, it's a great feel good and happy recording. Love 'Ghost Train' and the introduction of more RLJ "characters" for us to meet - she must have had a great life, well so far! Each song holds a story within itself and you just want to hear more. If you are a RLJ fan, or even in you are not, and for some strange reason this is not in your collection, do something about it! Buy it, listen and you will know what I mean.

Beautiful Music.......2003-02-14

This is a wonderful CD, brilliantly produced, with some of the best studio musicians in the world. The sheer musicality of the vocals and harmonies coupled with the musical genius leads to a truly incredible experience. A truly romantic piece, perfect for a night alone with the one you love. RLJ's poetic, deep lyrics only add to the lush sounds on this work of true art. This is RLJ's greatest album, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who has enjoyed her previous or later works. You will not be disappointed.

EASTWOOD IS ALSO A GREAT SONGWRITER.......2007-06-11

This is a "semi" career spanning CD (and the only decent one in existence) of the movie themes from some great Eastwood movies. The earlier pieces are from his days in TV and transition to movies. The more mature work with Lennie Niehaus displays Clint's artistry, no not only as an actor, award winning director, but great composer. My only complaint is the disc is missing the off-beat and totally original jazzy "Just A Closer Walk With Thee" from THE GAUNTLET.

The disc does contain his wonderful A PERFECT WORLD and THE UNFORGIVEN. Why Eastwood never won an Oscar for some of his original scores is a mystery to me. He is more celebrated as a director than as an actor only because he won more awards in that category and his acting style was known for it's low-keyed and reactionary style. But the Clint Eastwood the musician cannot be dismissed and here is that more than proves his versatility. A known jazz lover, for fans of that genre, give a listen to WHY SHOULD I CARE from "True Crime", another great Eastwood composition.

The remainder of the disc is a salute to Eastwood and his work with a heavy emphasis on the jazz.

First rate. I've been a fan since his directoral debut in PLAY MISTY FOR ME. Little did I realize what a great composer he would turn out to be.

A must for any fans as there are no single soundtacks available from his movies featuring his work.

Play Misty For Me.......2005-12-20

Nearly an hour and 20 minutes of "Music For the Movies of Clint Eastwood". What fan wouldn't be happy with this CD? 23 Tracks, and a great compilation. From the early TV days, the "Theme from Rawhide"(this was about the time I fell in love with Clint, I think I was about 8)performed by Frankie Lane, and Spaghetti Western, the "The, Good, The Bad, and The Ugly"(does anyone REALLY know the words to this one, and does it really matter?)to the romantic Doe Eyes"(the love theme from "Bridges of Madison County", the music will have you reliving the great moments from great films that just say Clint!

The first half of the album features both Clint's own works and the fabulous talented composers he has worked with. Ennio Moricone's oh so recognizable style("The Good, The Bad and the Ugly"), the moving music of Lennie Niehaus("Pale Rider"), the haunting sounds from Lalo Schfrin("Dirty Harry Theme", where you will relive Clint doing the, "Do you feel lucky punk?" speech), and some other wonderful musicians including the great Civil War and Western sounding "Theme from Outlaw Josey Wales", by Jerry Fielding, and Erroll Garner's"Play Misty For Me", a gorgeous piano rendition. Some of Clint's own works, included are "Claudia's Theme" from "Unforgiven" "Kate's Theme" from "Absolute Power", "Big Fran's Baby" from "A Perfect World", and of course the mesmerizing and above mentioned "Doe Eyes".

Second half is a 10 part instrumental suite, "Clint Eastwood, An American Filmmaker Suite". This is music composed and conducted by Lennie Niehaus for the PBS "American Masters" documentary " Eastwood: Out of the Shadows" The music tells Clint's story musically, and it flows beautifully and emotionally.It has a little of everyting, including some great jazzy numbers. The orchestration and the musicians capture the journey wonderfully. For list of all 23 track titles, see buying info. You can also listen to samples from there.

The quality of the CD is excellent. A pamphlet with some production notes, and the tracks is included. There are some great pix of Clint as well. It doesn't have ALL his films included. Hopefully the music form "Kelly's Heroes"("Burning Bridges) and "The Beguiled"(more from Lalo Schifrin) will make the sequel album!

Take it in your car and listen to it when you are stuck in traffic, and it will take you somewhere else for a while.Just say "Play Misty For Me" and hit track 8. Highly recommended for the Eastwood fan. And for those that can't get enough, I would also recommend the soundtrack to "Bridges of Madison County". One of the most romantic albums I ever heard.

"Head 'Em Up, Move 'Em On....Keep Them Doggies Rollin...Rawhide!"

Enjoy....Laurie

"Go ahead, make your day!".......2004-06-21

There's really not too much to say about this, except that any big fan of "Clint Eastwood", or at least the majority of these movies should like this. What I enjoy most are the tracks from his westerns, as they all set a nice mood, but the rest are very good as well. I can't help but think this would have been twice as good had it contained dialogue from each of these films too. Overall a great collection for the fan. After all, if there's one thing "Clint" knows about as much as his acting, it's his music.

I got this for my dad because Don Rich(Buck Owens guitar player) plays on 2 or 3 tracks. He loves the cd.

I like Arlo..........2005-10-12

I like Arlo. After first hearing him 30 years ago I still put him on in the morning with my coffee. He is one of those artists that I buy over again when a new format comes in style (such as LP verses CD). I have never listened to any of his albums (no matter how many times) without either laughing, crying, singing along, dancing, or feeling that I have learned something new about humanity. I like him just as much and more than most artists I listen to. That includes Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Wilco, Modest Mouse, Neal Young, Ben Harper, Nine Inch Nails, The wallflowers, Radio Head, Ten Years After, The Beach Boys, Johnny Cash, Kieth Urban, and so on. This album is a great one -- I cannot put this on my player without singing along from the beginning to the end. If you like folk music Arlo is the modern master. He's a humble man and a great artist.

Last of the Brooklyn Cowboys.......2005-09-05

I first heard this album in the 70's, and thought it was great then, now I think it's even better.

Tom Russell returns to the Old West with a renewed vision, as this collection of inspired originals and choice covers attests. The album's centerpiece features Eliza Gilkyson and Joe Ely trading verses with Russell on Bob Dylan's epic "Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts," while another Dylan tune, the little-heard "Seven Curses," proves a highlight as well. Russell's reading of "El Paso" refreshes the classic by refusing to mimic Marty Robbins's original, while a pair of Russell's spoken-word vignettes provide preamble to "The Ballad of Ira Hayes." While the songbooks of Woody Guthrie and Linda Thompson also inspire evocative interpretations, Russell's own songs hold their own in such distinguished company. He applies his literary sensibility to a Western legacy that extends from bounty hunters to rodeo bull riders, while his "Ballad of Edward Abbey," a tribute to the naturalist, serves as an environmental broadside on how the new West has raped the old. --Don McLeese

All the stuff that's loved by westerners in one CD.......2007-07-09

"Tonight we Ride" is the kind of riveting ballad that should go down in the annals of Western music with "El Paso", which just received its definitive cover on this CD.

And Russell doesn't let up all the way through the CD. Accompaniment is sparse, mostly guitar with an occasional fiddle.

"Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts" covers Dylan one better with Eliza Gilkyson and Joe Ely along for the ride to tell the story from the point of view of the various characters.

"The Ballad of Edward Abbey" is probably my favorite. Russell memorializes the kind of man who preserves what Westerners love most, the land, the animals the freedom to be what they want to be:

Ed walked across the desert at least a thousand times
He spoke with javalinas
And if he saw a billboard he chopped that b@st@rd down
If a man can't p#ss in his own front yard, he's living too close to town...

And that's the spirit of this CD that musically preserves the spirit of the West. I can't say this is the best Tom Russell CD--I like "Man From nowhere" very much too.

Another great Tom Russell CD.......2006-05-31

If you want to learn about Texas music just buy this disc. Tom's love of life and artist's eye infect every song.

The opening number "Tonight We Ride" is hard to beat. He sang it on David Letterman's show (Paul Shaffer played the accordian!). Letterman described it as a "song that will make you want to saddle up a horse, ride up to Connecticut and rob a liquor store." Me, I just went out and bought some good Reposado Gold. Letterman's got a point, though- the songs on this disc will move you one way or the other.

My other favorites are Bucking Horse Moon, and All This Way for a Short Ride. Tom Russell is true American artist like Woody Guthrie or Pete Seeger, and this is one of his best.

One of those seminal/ovularian guys..........2005-03-11

Someone once said that if you bought every miles davis album, and the albums by everyone who ever played on one, you'd have an ultimate jazz collection. Tom Russell is like that. If you bought every album that had a Tom Russell song on it, or the albums of everyone who ever played with Tom on one of his, you would have a collection that would include the top of the rock/country/folk/folk-rock charts for twenty or more years.

Now Tom does the favor (again) to others' music, using a bunch of artists who are equally unsung legends. There are a number of people out there who are becoming consummate collectors and interpreters of the American Music Idiom; Ry Cooder, Dave Alvin, Ian Tyson, and Tom Russell. On this Album, Tom and his stellar backers take some familar and some rare songs and do 'em up right in the Western way.

worth the purchase.

As Advertised.......2004-10-14

I had never heard of Tom Russell until about a month ago when he was on David Letterman. He sang "Tonight We Ride," on the show and I ordered the cd a day or two later. This disc is exactly what the title says, a collection of songs about cowboys, indians, horses and dogs.

It includes cover versions of some classic Dylan songs and new songs, and has playing in my car quite a bit. I'm not a big country fan, but to me this is not really country music, but a mixture of country, rock and even some folk.

I bought the disc based on one song I heard and was not at all disappointed. The song I had heard was the best song on the disc, but there are some other great songs on here, and not a bad song in the group. I will be adding more of his discs to my collection.

A little bit Johnny Cash..........2004-08-14

...a little bit Lee Hazelwood. I bought this album blind, on a recommendation (probably because I've been on an alt.country buying binge lately), but it's rarely been out of my CD player since. Tom Russell is as much a storyteller as a country musician. It's like the soundtrack of a great 60s western movie that never was.
