Though Willie Nelson's thematic albums in recent years have been hit-and-miss, this labor of love is a thorough delight. One Texas legend pays tribute to another and evokes the inspiration of a third, as Nelson puts his stylistic signature on the songbook of Cindy Walker, with arrangements channeling the spirit of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys (whose most familiar songs include many of Walker's). Nelson's conversational phrasing refreshes the familiar title track and brings out the soulful depths of heartfelt (and heartsick) balladry such as "Not That I Care." The nimble band features the interplay of Playboys alum Johnny Gimble on fiddle and the legendary Buddy Emmons on steel guitar, under the production of Nashville veteran Fred Foster. Saloon songs such as "Bubbles in My Beer" and "The Warm Red Wine" meet the mythic West of "Cherokee Maiden" and "Dusty Skies" and the weathered resilience of "Don't Be Ashamed of Your Age" and "I Don't Care," as the collection pays testament not only to Walker's range, but to Nelson's interpretive mastery. --Don McLeese

Album Description

Produced by Fred Foster, the man behind such stars as Roy Orbison, Dolly Parton, & Kris Kristofferson, You Don't Know Me: The Songs of Cindy Walker is truly a return to form for Willie. The band performing on the record is made up of several of Nashville's premier session players, who successfully capture the spirit and sound of classic country music. All songs were written by Country Music Hall of Fame inductee (1997), Cindy Walker. At 87, she has a long list of writing credits to her name, which include: "Dusty Skies" recorded by Spade Cooley, Bob Wills, & The Sons of the Pioneers, "Cherokee Maiden" recorded by Bob Wills, Merle Haggard, & Mel Tillis, "Warm Red Wine" recorded by Ernest Tubb and George Jones, "You Don't Know Me" recorded by Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, Jimmy Dean, Henry Mancini, & many more The single, "You Don't Know Me" was made most famous by Willie's close friend Ray Charles on The Modern Sounds of Country and Western Music. "I loved her music," Nelson says of Walker's catalog of playful saloon songs and heartfelt ballads. "Even before we met I felt like I knew her from listening to Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys do her songs. Every night of the week as a teenager I was playing things like "Miss Molly" and "I Was Just Walking Out The Door" somewhere.

Put some money in the juke box........2007-06-16

On this CD, Willie Nelson sings songs written by the late Cindy Walker. He performs 13 of her songs here, which date from 1942 to 1963. Most of these songs were hits way back then for country music legends like Bob Wills, Eddy Arnold, Ernest Tubb, Red Foley and Webb Pierce. Interestingly, Miss Walker wrote most of these songs from a man's point of view, probably because there weren't many popular female country singers back then. (Kitty Wells was the first female country music superstar, and she didn't have her first hit until 1952.) These songs fit Willie Nelson like a glove, and he performs them quite well in his trademark style. I'm sure that Willie's fans will really enjoy this CD.

I've always liked Willie Nelson and this is one of his best albums. All songs are good - good easy listening.

Willie Nelson sings the songs of Cindy Walker.......2007-05-09

This is my favorite CD that I've bought in a few years and I buy quite a few! The way Willie sings these songs are as if Cindy wrote them all for him. I can sit and listen to this CD over and over. Cindy was an amazing song writer -one of the greats, and Willie (also one of the greats) certainly does her songs justice.
This is a wonderful tribute CD to both Cindy and Willie Nelson. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY, can't recommend this CD enough!
Be sure to add it to your collection if you haven't already.

This CD has it all - wonderful Willie Nelson singing and fantastic ballads and songs - a great combination.

Willie sings Cindy.......2006-08-20

Cindy Walker has written some of the best known country songs for many, many years for some of the best artists we have had. "You Don't Know Me", "Sugar Moon", and "Cherokee Maiden" will delight any country music fan, especially if you like Willie Nelson and the flare he adds. "Bubbles In My Beer" is a fun song while "Take Me In Your Arms" can tug at your heart. This CD is a wonderful tribute to a lady who gave so much to the music industry.

Album Description

"Bold, remarkable, and thoroughly fascinating. A show not to miss." -- Chicago Tribune

With the entire libretto and lyrics taken from Gertrude Stein's writings, Loving Repeating is one of the few musicals to explore women's conditions and gay sexuality. This latest musical from Stephen Flaherty (Ragtime, Dessa Rose) premiered in Chicago in 2006, produced by The About Face Theatre in conjunction with the Museum of Modern Art.

Customer Reviews:

Good combination of music and lyrics.......2007-07-02

This musical is based on Gertrude Stein's Loving, Repeating (a long gay book). I heard previously the opera Four Saints (by Virgil Thomson) with libretto by Gertrude Stein. I am also familiar with some of the works of Flaherty. I must say that this one is the best so far. Once on This Island is very accessible, but this one entices you to listen to the lyrics. An individual listening would really not do justice to the work. It requires one complete listening. the songs seem to be weaved together (much better than Passion i must say, and this is a great compliment). The songs grow on the ears. Very subtle. Angsty musicals and writers will learn a lot from this one. Not your typical broadway music mind you.

Amazing score, lyrics, and talent.......2007-03-26

I have been listening to this non-stop. Being a Stephen Flaherty fan, the music as always is quite innovative and exquisite. The voices of the cast, especially that of the incomparable Christine Mild, induces goosebumps, and veteran actress, Cindy Gold, brings the spoken portions of the recording to life. Amazing and truly heartfelt show.

Loving Repeating Wows!.......2007-03-12

Beautifully written story and lyric,performed by a wonderfully gifted cast.This is a definite keeper!

I love it and can't stop repeating it (on my cd player).......2007-02-27

I was lucky enough to see this show three times: twice on the Northwestern University Campus (original musical title was "a long gay book,") and a third time at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. This show is stunning. I found myself humming melodies from the show - even though I hadn't seen it in over a year (and didn't own the recording)! The music and lyrics have a way of staying with you. This is a real work of art - poetry and song, based on the work of Gertrude Stein.

If you're a fan of musicals with soul, wit, and class, then you'll love this.

The voices of Christine Mild and Jenny Powers (Little Women) are extraordinary and Cindy Gold's narration is engaging and uniquely powerful. Combine these talents with that of Frank Galati (Tony Award Winner ... Director, Adapted Script) and Stephen Flaherty (Ragtime, etc.) and you have one AMAZING musical.

Highly Recommended!!!!

Perfect starter CD!.......2005-02-12

I'm surprised that no one has reviewed this CD yet. Released in conjuction with the Nationally-released PBS documentary "America's Choir" - this album is a perfect starting place for people who wish to have a sampler of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Serving as both a latter-day "greatest hits" and a stand alone album, this CD gathers six tracks from the Choir's recently released albums "Consider The Lilies," "Spirit Of America" and "Peace Like A River" and adds TEN brand new tracks recorded specially for this project, creating a perfect sampler of both the Choir's magnificent history and it's current sound. It highlights the strengths of the Choir's repetoire, from well-known hymns ("Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing") to patriotic standards ("Battle Hymn Of The Republic") to folk songs ("Shenandoah," "Bound For The Promised Land") and even some surprises, like the traditional Welsh anthem "O Home Beloved" and the "Fugue In C Major (Jig)" for organ and orchestra. A wonderful, wonderful CD, with startling changes in mood and tempo, but with the unifying artistry of the Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Sqare.

Album Description

Cashdollar has worked with the likes of Bob Dylan, Leon Redbone, Graham Parker, BeauSoliel, and was steel guitarist with Asleep At The Wheel for 8 years. Surprisingly, Slide Show is her debut album. Almost as an illustration of her sideman experience, she generously shares the spotlight with some stellar company. Slide Show finds her trading and blending lines and music with guitarist Sonny Landreth, tele-slinger Redd Volkaert, steeler Lucky Oceans, and gulf coast pianists Johnny Nocholas and Marcia Ball along with Mike Auldridge, Jorma Kaukonen and Steve James. Cindy navigates her musical journey through shimmer and swamp, distortion and twang, and simple acoustic bliss. Cindy is a frequent guest on public radio's A Prarie Home Companion.

Customer Reviews:

Stunning steel.......2005-02-11

Possessing a vibrant tone and impeccable intonation, Cindy Cashdollar is one of today's finest steel and lap slide players. She honed her relentless sense of swing, crisp articulation, and sassy vibrato during a long stint with Asleep at the Wheel, and was recently inducted into the Texas Western Swing Hall of Fame. On Slide Show, Cashdollar cuts loose with a host of musicians, including slide wizard Sonny Landreth, Dobro master Mike Auldridge, steel legend Herb Remington, and fingerpicker Jorma Kaukonen. Armed with a roomful of instruments - tripleneck Remington and Fender console steels, Rickenbacker and Campbell lap steels, and National Tricone, Beard, and Dobro resonators - Cashdollar reveals her mastery of electric and acoustic blues, Western swing, moody instrumentals, and bayou R&B. Transparently recorded, she and her pals are panned apart in the stereo field, which makes it easy to appreciate their stunning musical interplay. New to lap slide or steel guitar? Start here.

Astonishingly beautiful album.......2004-10-30

Some of the finest playing that you'll ever hear. Breathtakingly beautiful tone and masterful performance. If you love great musicianship, steel guitar and dobro, you simply must buy this CD.

Beautiful music, simply beautiful! Highly recommended!

Album Description

This CD is the second of the final CDs to be issued by The Dale Warland Singers, who disbanded in 2004. The program is a "harvest" of popular songs, hymns and spirituals, including "Simple Gifts," "Deep River," and "We Gather Together". The Grammy-nominated Dale Warland Singers were specialists in performing American works. Includes 16-page booklet with full texts and notes on the works! The Dale Warland Singers CDs are among the best selling American choral CDs in recent history. This CD is a "volume 2" of their best seller, Blue Wheat, issued previously on ACC. Based in Minneapolis/St. Paul, the Dale Warland Singers were recognized as one of the world's foremost a cappella choral ensembles. This 40-voice professional choir recently celebrated its 31st and final season of concerts, tours, radio broadcasts, and critically acclaimed recordings, following the retirement of founder and director Dale Warland.

Customer Reviews:

"Harvest Home" Serves Up a Feast.......2006-03-10

Most CD recordings of choral music do not attract the attention of the population at large, and "Harvest Home" is clearly an exception. Word came to me about this remarkable album through a fellow faculty member at the Boston Conservatory. He was rightly proud of having written two of the arrangements, but prouder still of the fact that it had become a red-hot bestseller through the word-of-mouth network of choristers all over the country. Needless to say, I was curious but a bit skeptical. Generally, things that become that popular have an aesthetic downside. I ordered my copy from Amazon and got it just before I left to go to a concert with a couple of musician friends. We were frankly thrilled with the quality of the singing, the beautifully shaped nuances, and the richness of the several of the arrangements. It is clear that its popularity among choral singers has to do with the musical material, as with its execution. The arrangements are based on mostly religious American folk songs and show off the delicate intonational skills of Dale Warland's legendary group. It's just the kind of thing that church choir members can really appreciate, but unfortunately cannot stand up to repeated listing -- it has to be the work of great composers for me to hear recordings over and over again. Nevertheless, I played it for my choral group, and they jumped all over it. That's the market audience. Bravo, Mr. Warland.

Amazing.......2005-12-26

I've been a fan of the Dale Warland Singers for a long time, and attended many of their concerts. This recording displays perfectly what the choir was capable of. I listen to it constantly. Many of these arrangements are the best I've heard of these songs. "Deep River" is better than that of Chanticleer or Cantus. "She'll be Comin Round the Mountain" is really fun. I got the chance to sing it a few years ago and will never forget it. You NEED to buy this CD. It's well worth the money.

Exquisite.......2005-12-18

Buy this album! This is the finest recording I have purchased this year. The exquisite tonality and the arrangements have kept me listening every day. The audio quality is outstanding - balanced, finely nuanced, lovely soundstage. If you enjoy choral music, purchase this album - NOW.

Exquisite.......2005-11-16

I purchased this on a whim and it is been in my 5-disc player ever since. I have always loved choral settings of folk songs and hymns (with one exception - "The Water is Wide" should never ever ever be sung by a chorus - it doesn't work, but it is the only track I skip on this disc). The selections are all old favorites in often harmonically lush arrangements. Hawley's arrangement of "Not One Sparrow" is transcendent and has become my morning prayer, "Lay Me Low" my evening meditation. The singing is as near perfect as can be, musicality is stunning, and technical merits are high. I cannot recommend this disc enough.

Emotional and poignant.......2005-11-07

On Harvest Home, the Dale Warland Singers delve into the rich legacy of mostly American sacred and folk music. With the lush vocal orchestrations and thoughtful arrangements, many of these familiar songs take on new life and emotional depth.

As a boy, I grew up in the Mennonite church tradition and one of the distinctive things about our church services was the a cappella 4-part harmony. As I got older, I thought this was a bit odd and wished we used instruments in church like most people. In looking back now, I am thankful for that tradition and what it taught me about music and harmony.

Throughout high school I was involved with choral groups, doing several programs each year. The first year after high school I spent a few months at a religious school that had a long-standing tradition of chorale music. I well remember the hours of rehearsal to get the song just right, practicing enunciation and dynamics and expression.

So when I hear a group like the Dale Warland Singers, I have a small insight into the dedication it takes to do choral music at the level of this recording. These are singers and a director at the top of their game, with attention to detail everywhere, creativity in the arrangements and technical brilliance. And what a vocal range, with "how low can they go" bass and sopranos that my normal laptop headphones have trouble reproducing without distortion.

I've long been a fan of spirituals; they are at times moving to hear, at times playful and fun (and can be even more fun to sing). This album features a couple of my favorites: "Shall We Gather At The River" and "Deep River". Upon first hearing this rendition of the latter, I was nearly moved to tears by the stark beauty and emotional depth of this arrangement. It's a prime example of the power of music to take us places emotionally and connect us with the deeper feelings and longings of the soul.

In addition to several spirituals, there is a unique variety of other religious pieces pulled from the traditions of Quakers and Baptists among others. The album also mines some rich treasures from the Shaker tradition, including the comforting "Not One Sparrow Is Forgotten" and the poignant tenderness of "Lay Me Low', with the simple text of

Lay me low where the Lord can find me, where the Lord can own me, where the Lord can bless me

Not everything leans towards the serious or sacred though. A fun, light-hearted arrangement of "She'll Be Comin' Round The Mountain" (arr. by Emma Lou Diemer) features bouncing bass lines and lots of syncopation and sibilance to keep things interesting. And the traditional Dixie folk song "Cindy" tells the story of a heartsick man with tongue-in-cheek lyrics that playfully bounce from part to part.

The liner notes are exceptional, with lots of helpful historic and musical notes on the various selections. This is one of the final albums from The Dale Warland Singers after 31 years. The group disbanded in May 2004 so that the founder Dale Warland could focus more on teaching, consulting and guest conducting. He certainly has left his mark on the choral landscape and this recording is no exception. Highly recommended if you appreciate choral music, especially traditional folk and sacred selections.

Back to when I believed in fairy tales...........2002-09-30

If you could, just for a moment, return to the days when fairy godmothers were real, when you really could turn four white mice into four white horses - then just buy this CD for a few smiles, a lot of memories, and the original Rodgers and Hammerstein tunes. This CD took me way back to when magic was there, and now it makes me wonder, everytime I listen to it, if maybe the magic isn't still there? Maybe I should just call on my fairy godmother..... A true heirloom of a CD.

The Glass Slipper Fits!.......2001-04-21

This is an excellent compilation of songs that express the longings, fears and exuberance of the Cinderella story. Rather than just relying of the romantic side of the myth, producer Bruce Kimmel adds depth to the story by including songs from The Slipper and The Rose and Sondheim's Into the Woods as well as the Disney and Roger & Hammerstein Cinderella versions.

When Susan Egan plans her strategy in "Promise Him Anything" and Pamela Winslow expresses her fear in "On the Steps of the Palace," the listener becomes aware of Cinderella's human side. Likewise, when Christa Moore shares her fantasy world "In My Own Corner" and Christina Noll expresses her thrill of her dream coming true in "Impossible/Suddenly It Happens," the listener is reminded of the powerful message of Cinderella's theme: dreams DO come true.

Fortunately, the compilation does not exclude humor as well. "The Stepsister's Lament" by Farah Alvin and Alet Oury is hilariously poignant; the lyrics "Why would a fellow want a girl like her? A frail and frocky beauty!" could be the alltime wallflowers' lament. And Jonathan Freeman's "What Has Love Got to Do with Getting Married?" is a droll piece of practical cynicism to his Prince son. (The song reminds me of the film Moonstruck. When Olympia DuKakis asks her daughter Cher, "Do you love him?" When Cher answered affirmatively, her mother muttered, "That's bad.")

Also, the musical bridges add to the suspense of the Cinderella story. "Midnight", "The Ball," and "If The Shoe Fits" from Prokofiev's ballet are beautifully orchestrated and remind the listener that the Cinderella myth is adaptable for many forms of entertainment.

I was a little disappointed that "So This is Love" and "The Work Song" was not included, but I guess I'm partial to the Disney version. The 1950 cartoon was my first introduction to Cinderella, and to my delight, my nephew enjoyed it as well thirty years later.

Nevertheless, this CD shows the timeless appeal of the Cinderella myth. Its beauty, humor and suspense is contained here in this magnificent collection.

Magical collection fit for a princess!.......1999-04-13

I was thrilled to come across this collection. One of my favorite movies, The Slipper and the Rose, had been out of print for many years. This CD includes 4 of the songs from that movie and though not by the original artists, just as good. The songs range from the whimsical to the romantic to a few comic gems, all from various stage and film Cinderella scores. "Tell Him Anything" from the Slipper and the Rose, a powerful song filled with longing and despair is sung movingly by Susan Egan, a nice change of pace from the cheerier, more sparkling numbers.

The score from Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella is so charming and catchy it's fun to hear it again by new artists. The performers, all apparently Broadway singers (?), are all beautifully performed with exuberance and style. The orchestration is lush and appropriate to the material.

Fabuloso!!!! A must have!!!!.......1998-08-11

This is an AWESOME cd. It has songs from the original Rodgers and Hammerstein version, the Disney version, and Into the Woods. This is a faboulos collection of songs. Definetly buy it. NOW!!!!!

Customer Reviews:

this is the Philip Glassish version.......2006-09-13

One must realize members of the Philip Glass Emsemble are performimg here. True it has somewhat a disco feel at times. It is colorfull and upbeat. It has repetative framework that I think works well here. Because it follows closely to the original piece the Glass minimalism is incorporated within the music instead of controling it. I wished it had a bit darker and brooding soundscape and had say Fripplike guitar for example.( King Crimson- The Construction Of Light - to me that track sounds like Fripp meets Glass )Anyways, I managed to find this a few years ago on import after extensive searching. Now I see it is much more easily available. This was one of those albums I had that I was not happy till I found a cd version. Personally I love this.

A Surprising Find.......2006-07-02

I came across this album while browsing absent-mindedly through the public library selection. I had not recognized the name "Carmina Burana", but upon listening, realized that I had heard the piece many times, from many conductors, before. I am a lover of the medieval period, church music, and 80's synthesized music, amongst many other genres. I was astounded to find such a synchronically composed piece that brought together such diverse theories.

Mediocre.......2005-12-09

Very Very Very 80s sounding. While that normally isn't a bad thing for me, it just makes this album very boring and cheesey. I'm a Manzarek fan, but he still plays at his best in the Doors.

There is no way to write about Somewhere Between Heaven and Earth without acknowledging that the album was inspired by the 1996 death of Cindy Bullens's 11-year old-daughter, Jessie. Bullens had taken a long break from recording when tragedy prompted her to write and record these songs. But to dwell on the particulars of her awful experience would be to diminish the universal nature of a song such as "The Lights of Paris" (which could be about anyone who has lost the love of another) or the redemptive power of "I Gotta Believe in Something." Bullens has a voice that is honest and simple, yet capable of the assured performance that only experience brings. It cuts through the ringing guitars with pure rock & roll passion. Truth be told (and herein it is) these songs and performances represent the best of what popular music has to offer: the delineation of our pain and the tools to see us through it. Had she exorcised her sadness with a dark, highly personal work, Bullens might have felt better, but what would have been gained? Instead, with a little help from friends Bonnie Raitt, Bryan Adams, Lucinda Williams, and Rodney Crowell, Bullens reminds us why we listen to music in the first place. Michael Ross

Everyone should experience this CD.......2005-07-22

As a pediatric oncology nurse, this CD has very special meaning to me. I try to share this music with as many of my patients' families as possible. Sometimes my families are feeling so many emotions, they can't put them into words. Cindy Bullens does that for them. Even if you haven't experienced a loss such as Cindy's and some of the amazing children I have had the pleasure of taking care of, this CD will touch you in a special way.

A very powerful and emotional album..........2005-02-23

This is a very powerful and emotional album inspired by the death of Cindy Bullens' daughter Jessie. I hate imagining the loss of your child. There should be some sort of law of nature in which no child can die before their parents.

This release has vocal contributions from Bonnie Raitt, Bryan Adams and Lucinda Williams who sings beautiful harmonies on my favorite song here..."The End of Wishful Thinking". There is also some very touching vocal's from Cindy's teenage daughter Reid on the song "As Long As You Love". Other contributors include Benmont Tench and Rodney Crowell.

This album is much more about hope and coping and learning to live again rather than dwelling on her loss. Included are photos and some inspiring liner note from Cindy as well as from Dave Marsh who also lost a child to cancer. This came out in 1999 and it would nice to hear something new from Cindy again.

"I gotta believe in something
That there's just plain nothing
Don't sit right with me"

Tremendously moving, absolutely glorious.......2003-03-24

This CD features excellent, moving and very thoughtful rock of the highest caliber. Bullens' vocals are super and her guitar work is excellent, but neither begins to compare with the quality of the poetry she has written in each of these songs. This CD represents a triumphant recovery from a deep tragedy, the death of her daughter, Jessie. BRAVO!

A Moving Tribute.......2003-02-24

Cindy Bullens is a powerhouse vocalist. I remember having met her many years ago when she was rocking the stage as a backing vocalist on an Elton John tour. Many years...and tears have obviously passed and she (we) finds (find)the voice of her soul in this amazing album. The quality of the songwriting puts it in the caliber of the best of Don Henley...I wish he could have sung on one of the tracks. The beautiful "As Long As You Love" (Scarlet Wings) is a masterpiece of emotional poetry and the fact that she is acompanied by her daughter Reid adds a special and touching voice. I recommend this album to everyone. Buy it for yourself and listen to what loss and love sound like. Then buy a few more copies as gifts for your friends and family to cherish. Don't burn copies...the original is the only way to go. The booklet and written message are valuable additions to the package. Dave Marsh put it beautifully: "Somewhere Between Heaven and Earth is a miracle."

BITTERSWEET.......2002-10-26

I remember hearing Cindy's "Better Than I Ever Been Before" back in 2000. The song was so warm. It was obvious that a woman who had pulled herself through some serious pain had recorded that song and tried to be as optimistic as she could. It was so sunny yet weary. Come to find out, Cindy wrote not only that gem but this courageous whole album after the unfortunate passing of her eleven year old daughter Jessie. "Somewhere Between Heaven and Earth" is a beautiful album. You may have not lost your daughter but you feel the sadness, anger, remorse, and all the feelings that go through losing a lost one. The entire album grabs you and it's an wonderful album for someone whose lost a child. Or anyone whose lost anyone that's really close to them and they want to find hope in that particular suitation. A great album, nevertheless.

Habit forming ... .......2007-07-12

I received this CD as a gift from an audiophile friend. It hasn't left my CD player since (which, quite honestly, is totally out of character for me). Great writing, wonderful harmonies, terrific hooks -- a masterful blend of simple and complex that just gets better with every listen.
