Anyone who is still clueless about what a great singer Ronnie Dunn is need only grab this second greatest-hits package from Brooks & Dunn, a 17-song compilation that skims the commercial high points from the duo's 1998-2004 period. Dunn, the quintessential balladeer, soars on honky-tonk laments and reminiscences like "Red Dirt Road" and "How Long Gone," and on full-throated romantic plaints like "That's What She Gets for Loving Me" and "It's Getting Better All the Time." His sidekick, the underrated guitarist, utility singer, and all-around dynamo Kix Brooks, also gets his moment to shine on a marvelous '60s-style, 18-wheeler ditty called "Independent Trucker," one of three new cuts included here. --Bob Allen
Customer Reviews:
Real Country.......2007-04-12
It's amazing to think they have more than enough for another greatest hits compilation! Full of originals that will always be greatest hits.
something missing .......2007-02-16
Ok, you see two stars up there and you start thinking to yourself "what
could possibly be wrong with this album" Well, there is something wrong
with this album. If you do not believe me then look it up for yourself.
This does have great songs on here and all of their hits to mention that.
But I just noticed something, and I have had this album for a year or
two. There is three songs that is not on here that was hits on the radio.
They might not have been big hits, but they did get air play. (missing
you) from their "tight rope" album (you'll always be loved by me) from
their "tight rope" album and (I am that man) from the "boarderline" album.
Brooks And Dunn - always Great!.......2007-01-09
I love this cd and all the songs on it! There is a great variety of their style music for all to enjoy. I would be hardpressed to find a favorite! I have other cd's of theirs and they are all good - including the Christmas cd. If you are a fan of theirs you will really enjoy this cd!
impressive/holds its own.......2006-11-04
While this collection doesn't quite hold up to the duo's first greatest hits compilation, it is still good. Hits like "How Long Gone," "The Long Goodbye," and "South of Santa Fe" are good choices for this album, which pretty much holds its own. If you are a fan of Brooks & Dunn, odds are you will like this album. The duo is still good after all these years, and I hope whey will continue for many more.
Great collection and service........2005-09-06
I was very pleased with the cd and the prompt service I received.

The most surprising track on this collection isn't hidden between blockbusters selections from the blockbuster Lloyd Webber songbook but is located in plain view right at the beginning of the CD. The previously unreleased "Probably on Thursday" was originally written as a pop song in 1967 and indeed sounds very much like a forgotten gem by an obscure 1960s pop singer. It's absolutely delightful and the last thing you'd expect from a composer best known for neoclassical bombast. Another surprise is another previously unreleased song, this one from Sunset Boulevard: "The Perfect Year" is a sweet ballad, and Brightman smartly doesn't oversell it. In fact, the CD decidedly emphasizes the singer's more subtle side rather than her vocal pyrotechnics---"Make Up My Heart" from Starlight Express and "I Don't Know How to Love Him" from Jesus Christ Superstar are particularly nice. The cache of previously unreleased songs also includes guest apperances by the likes of Michael Ball ("Seeing Is Believing") and John Barrowman ("Too Much in Love to Care"), but there's never any doubt as to who the star of this CD is. And deservedly so. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
Customer Reviews:
A handsome Part 2 of Brightman's ALW songbook.......2007-05-25
I've long hoped that one day all of Sarah Brightman's recordings of Lord Lloyd-Webber songs would be released together in one comprehensive collection. This handsome CD, a sequel to her better-known Lloyd-Webber collection, is a treasure-trove of gems, focussing on lesser-known recordings and boasting several unreleased tracks. Brightman tackles a wide range of songs from the Phantom theme to a beguiling Spanish version of Don't Cry For Me, Argentina. But there are rarities on this collection: we get to hear Brightman shine in Mary Magdelene's two songs from Superstar, and kick back in her rendition of Any Dream Will Do, which we normally associate with Donny Osmond or Jason Donovan. Half the CD is made up of rarities and duets. It is a treat o hear her duet with Sir Cliff Richard on the B-side of the All I Ask of You single, Only You, and also her take on the Sunset Boulevard song, Too Much in Love to Care. It is also a treat to hear her in two songs from Starlight Express, and also in the unreeased early ALW song, Probably on Thursday. I konw this collecion reprised her recording of Think of Me from the Phantom London Cast album, and also her lovely rendition of Whistle Down the Wind, but it really makes it a treat to buy this collection without splurging on the other CD. A pity that this CD doesn't include Half a Moment from Jeeves, as there would surely have been enough space. A pity also that the rare song English Girls was left off the CD too, let alone the Spanish version of Amigos Para Sempre. In short, a lovely sequel to her ALW Collection volume 1, and perhaps more worthy than the hastily-assembled Encore collection. Now if only Decca and Really Useful might consider combining all of Brightman's ALW recordings into a comprehensive set...
Lovely listening!.......2007-04-03
Sarah Brightman has a beautiful voice, and this selection of songs is just made for her. I really enjoyed this CD when I first checked it out at my local library -- and then I decided to buy it new, something I don't do except when I REALLY like the CD and intend to listen it it over and over.
The quality of her voice, the other performers, and the variety of Webber songs makes for an excellent combination!
a must.......2007-01-30
an outstanding collection of songs that prove the consummate vocalist in all her glory. No one else has so wonderfully bridged the gap between opera and pop. This one's a keeper.
Love Changes Everything: Andrew Lloyd Webber Vol. 2.......2007-01-13
The CD was ok, but I prefer Vol. 1
A Great New Compilation from Sarah Brightman!!!.......2006-04-09
I was a bit sceptical when this album was released since I owned 3 other albums with Sarah Brightman singing ALW songs: "Sarah Brightman Sings ALW" "Surrender: The Unexpected Songs" and "The ALW Collection Vol. 1" But when I read the song list, it does sound interesting to me so I decided to just go and grab one.
I was totally surprised at how this album was presented. I really like this side of Sarah Brightman. We usually portray Miss Brightman as a big powerful high-pitched soprano kinda singer, which sometimes nice but can get a bit annoying at times. But this album features more of Sarah's relaxing side. She sings all the songs softly and beautifully with a little flair of pop music as well. Most of the songs end with a fade out not with a big powerful Broadway-like ending. And her repertoire here is really interesting. Firstly, it doesn't repeat other albums that much. It also has 7 previously unreleased songs out of 14. That's half the album! Here's my thoughts on each of them:
#1 PROBABLY ON THURSDAY: This was an unreleased song. It sounds more like a pop song than traditional Broadway. But Sarah sings it wonderfully.
#2 THE PERFECT YEAR: From Sunset Boulevard, This unreleased version resembles Dina Carroll's version to me but Sarah has her own take on the song which makes it more gentle and beautiful.
#3 ONLY YOU: From Starlight Express, I'm sure we all have heard Sarah's duet with Cliff Richard in All I Ask of You. But here's another wonderful duet, previously unreleased.
#4 LOVE CHANGES EVERYTHING: From Aspects of Love, Some of you might think "Oh C'mon, we have this song in ALW Collection Vol. 1" Well, folks, this is another version of it and, may I say, a better one. This unreleased version has a completely new take on the song. She sings it softly and it sounds so relaxing and she didn't go all the way to that strainful high note in the end like in the previous album (which I hate). This version has a soft ending and it's wonderful!!!
#5 SEEING IS BELIEVING: From Aspects of Love, This is so awesome, Sarah, who once played Rose in Aspects, singing with the original Alex, Michael Ball. What more could you ask!
#6 THINK OF ME: From The Phantom, This is taken from the Original London Cast Recording so no doubt that it's wonderful. I think the reason why they chose this songs is that they ran out of songs from Phantom since 4 of them was featured on Vol. 1
#7 ANY DREAM WILL DO: From Joseph, This song can be found on "Sarah Brightman sings ALW" album. But that album is very old and most of the people might not own it. So I think it's good that they included it here in a newer album. The music sounds exactly the same as the cast recording album just with a female voice instead, nice!!!
#8 I DON'T KNOW HOW TO LOVE HIM: From Jesus Christ Superstar, I found this song on 2 albums, "The Very Best of ALW" and "Sarah Brightman sings ALW" The first time I heard this, I thought to myself this is the best version of the song ever. I like Sarah's take on this more than Yvonne Elliman, really. Don't boo me for that.
#9 TOO MUCH IN LOVE TO CARE: From Sunset Boulevard, Here's another of our previously unreleased. Sarah sings this with the brilliant John Barrowman. This is my favourite songs from the show but not many singers recorded it. So I was really excited to see this song on the list and it didn't disappoint me at all.
#10 THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA: Then my nightmare comes. Sorry but I really hate this version of the song. I don't like Steve Harley's style and this song always appear on every compilation album. But one bad song couldn't hurt this wonderful album. Just skip it. As I said, they just need some songs from this show since it's what made Sarah a star. And Michael Crawford's version was on Vol. 1 already.
#11 MAKE UP MY HEART: From Starlight Express, Our last unreleased song. I really like it. I have to admit that I have never heard this song before since I didn't own the new Starlight Express album. But it's wonderful and a little heart-wrenching, don't you think... :)
#12 NO LLORES POR MI ARGENTINA: From Evita, This is the Spanish version of Don't Cry for Me Argentina. I really like it when Sarah sings the songs in other language. It's something about her voice that suits these beautiful languages. This song is also featured on "Surrender".
#13 EVERYTHING'S ALRIGHT: From Jesus Christ Superstar, This song can be found on "Sarah Brightman sings ALW" and "Surrender". It's wonderful to here Sarah as Mary Magdalene. The guys singing here are just so-so. It's Sarah who's the star!
#14 WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND: Then we came to our last song. I'm so glad they included this song on this album. The song only features on "Encore" which I didn't own for I think the repertoire didn't interest me. This song is a wonderful exit music for the album. It's beautiful. It's nice. It's great!!!
Wow, this is a long comment, huh? Anyway, for those of you who are thinking of getting Sarah's album with an all-Andrew-Lloyd songs. Here's the bottom line. If you own the Vol. 1 already, just buy it! It's much much better and the song didn't repeat itself. If you own the other album with Sarah singing Andrew's songs, you should get this too just for the 7 new songs. If you are going to buy your first Sarah's album, I'd recommend this one and "Surrender" (which might be a bit pricy but the songs are great there too) Don't get the Vol. 1, it's not that good! Hope my comments help!
P.S. If you're interested in some other people singing Andrew Lloyd Webber's songs, try "Michael Crawford Performs Andrew Lloyd Webber", it's great too!

This second album in Dancing Cat Records' Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Masters Series produced by George Winston follows its successful Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Masters. Again the masters of the genre are featured in several well-known tunes such as Lili'uokalani's "Aloha 'Oe" (played here by George Kahumoku) and "'Ulili E" (Dennis and David Kamakahi), as well as modern originals and two tracks that had not been available on CD before: "Ulu Niu Ke'eke'e" (George Kahumoku and Kekuhi Kanahele) and "Slack Key Serenade" (Leonard Kwan and Ozzie Kotani). The liner notes provide complete information on each song's original album.
A balance of instrumental and vocal tracks, the compilation is a terrific starting point for exploring the artistic and stylistic diversity in modern slack key. Instruments on this album include everything from traditional mouth bow, 'ukulele, and percussion stones to 12-string slack key and modern acoustic guitars. Elder statesman Ray Kane lullabies us with his simple instrumental "Popoki Slack Key" (popoki means "little cat"); renowned improviser Cyril Pahinui and Sol Hoopii-influenced Bob Brozman combine 12-string slack key and acoustic steel guitar interpreting "Hilo E" and "Lili'u E" in a style evocative of the 1920s. Showing off how slack key works solo, in duets, or with mixed accompaniment, this is one of the most beautiful slack key compilations out there. --Erik Macki
Customer Reviews:
Love it.......2007-02-24
Bought a copy for a trip to Kauai. Listened to it while I was there and now all we have to do is slip the disc on to be transported back to the islands (at least if we keep our eyes closed and try real hard to imagine).
The music is sublime.
Delicious!.......2007-01-09
I am hooked on this music and could play this CD day and night.
beautiful.......2006-06-01
This cd would be worth buying even if it only had one song on it - the version of "Pu'u Anahulu" with Martin Pahinui on vocals. I get chicken skin just listening to this song and how much he sounds like his father! Of course I love Gabby's version but always wondered what it would sound like without the cheesy strings; this is it. Unlike one other reviewer, I love the vocals.
2006 GRAMMY WINNER!!!.......2006-02-25
This album won a Grammy in February 2006! And diservedly so...
Slack key has come into it's own, many prominent guitar players are following these talented Hawaiians around, learning their new tricks and their old traditional ways. (In song sample #8 of "Masters II", Amazon spelled Cyril Pahinui's name with a "g", come on, let's give the Hawaiian artists the respect they deserve.)
This is NOT a sequel to Slack Key MastersI, but a beautiful extension and addition. The voices as well as the strings are sublime, just right in fact.
All I can say is, MORE! MORE! MORE!
Please, more slack key without vocals!!!.......2005-11-22
That's my call to record execs, or George Winston, or whoever, if they ever read these. I bought volume one, absolutely thrilled that finally, after 40 years of searching, I'd finally found slack key without singing. I don't hate the vocals, and the vocals on this CD are less annoying than a whole lot of the vocals I've heard in Hawaiian music (yes, I grew up there, and have gone back every year for the last 30 years, and I've heard a whole lot of Hawaiian music that I didn't exactly ask for.) I love finger-picked ukulele (NOT strummed), and I love the cheesy steel guitar, but if I never hear another vocal, it'll be too soon. So anyway: is everyone who ever published Hawaiian music confident that people like and expect vocals? I see other reviews here that could do without the vocals. I hereby swear that if Dancing Cat (or anybody) ever does another collection anywhere near as good as Vol. 1, without vocals, I will instantly buy it at a premium price. I promise!

Not My Style.......2007-05-11
This CD has a lot of good songs on it, but it just too bland for our taste. We prefer Western music to sound as though genuine cowboys are singing it - not a fancy chorus!
Rockin' Western Collection.......2006-08-28
For anyone who likes movie/tv music from westerns should purchase this CD. What a wonderful collection of both film and tv with great renditions of each piece. I'm about to purchase Vol. 1 to complete my collection.
Hard to Find Great Western Themes .......2006-03-16
This CD has a number of great western themes that are not in some of the standard lists. For example it includes "The Hallejuah Trail", "Blazing Saddles", and "Giant". This CD also has what I consider the true theme of "The Comancheros". I have been disappointed with some other CDs I have purchased listing "The Comancheros" which had a song rather than this theme. Many of the tracks on this two disk CD go beyond the main theme music and are actually suites. The "Big Country" and "How the West Was Won" are just a couple of examples. It may be a little more expense than some CDs, but not bad for a two disk set. I am really happy with my purchase.
Western Music.......2005-07-29
I enjoy this CD. It has many familiar melodies. Good background for reading, nice to listen while driving. It is also the only CD I've ever found that has the great theme from the movie "Giant."
A great follow-up.......2003-08-29
This is the second collection by SilvaScreen, who are also responsible for "The Wild West: The Essential Western Film Music Collection" (see my review). And it's just as good as the first. There are themes in here that everyone will recognize ("Bonanza," "A Fistful of Dollars"), themes that may not be so familiar ("Duel in the Sun," "The Hanging Tree," the lively "Blazing Saddles"), and even themes you may not associate with Westerns at all ("The Friendly Persuasion"). And no duplication either: when this disc includes a piece from one of the same sources covered in its predecessor, it's a different piece. One great treat: the full lyrics to "Gunfight at OK Corral," which I've never heard outside the soundtrack of the movie itself. The arrangement from "Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid" includes not only the familiar song "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head" but an overview of the music--seguing almost seamlessly into Bernstein's magnificent "The Comancheros," a rare find indeed. An expensive item, but if you love Western film music, well worth it.

Trace Adkins - greatest hits.......2006-11-05
Fabulous CD. He has a super voice. I played it non-stop for about a week. Terrific buy!!
NNNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!.......2006-05-25
This was terrible. Does this guy even have a record deal? His voice sounds like a handful of nails dropped in a blender. Maybe he should find another career... soon!

Adagio follows in the rosin-dusted footsteps of The Impressionists, A Different Mozart, and A Different Prelude. As with those releases, it was produced by Dawn Atkinson and features many of the same artists. The results are as varied as the musicians. Violinist Tracy Silverman cuts one of his patented echo-delayed pizzicato violin arrangements of a Bach arioso, while Patrick O'Hearn drapes a somber keyboard shroud around the Adagio from Rodrigo's Fantasy for a Gentleman. Jeff Johnson and Brian Dunning find the Celtic air in the Adagio from Handel's Sonata in G, while Philip Aaberg discovers infinity between the notes of Barber's ubiquitous Adagio for Strings. He stretches the melody across his piano in finely drawn lines, subtlety filled out with synthesizer undertones. Subtlety is a casualty on Philipe Saisse's bongos, bells, and synth arrangement of Bach's Air on a G String. It's also sacrificed in a corny confection of Handel's Sarabande by Paul Schwartz. His ham-fisted electronic keyboards would've sounded dated even before Switched-On Bach. But Adagio features plenty of musicians who are willing to surrender themselves to their elegiac themes, including guitarist Steve Erquiaga, Mike Marshall, and Edgar Meyers. --John Diliberto

Simply Gorgeous !.......2003-10-05
This is the first Windham Hill compilation I've purchased in a long, long time, and I am thrilled with the music.
The artistry is stunning, the artists bring themselves to the music while at the same time maintaining the integrity of the original piece.
My favorite is Grieg's Nocturne, arranged and performed by Steve Erquiaga. I have been in love with his music from the moment
I heard his CD "Cafe Paradiso" (Imaginary road Records). It is absolutely stunning!
When I saw that he was on "Adagio" I went for it. I'm so happy that I did ...
Other hightlights for me are Philip Aaberg's "Adagio for Strings", Tracy Silverman's "Arioso" ..... they're all beautiful.
Thank You for this wonderful music.

Che bella voce.......2007-04-13
My husband and I LOVED this album. Nothing beats the stirring voice of Connie Francis. It brought back memories. Bellissima!
Connie's Italian songs.......2006-03-28
Its a very good Connie Francis Album. My favourite songs on the album are "Non Dimenticar" , "Mama" , "Tango Delle Rose". These songs sounds just like she sang them some 30 years ago. The voice is just the same. Its quite remarkable. I also rate highly the songs "Return to me" and "Addio me amor". The other songs also are very good but on some of them sometimes her voice lacks finesse(not much - sometimes just the end of the song) perhaps due to the constraints of the Italian language itself or perhaps she is not so young anymore. These songs would have been perfect otherwise. I would highly recommend this album to anyone.
Brava Connie!.......2005-10-20
This review is a little late but this two disc collection culled from her Italian LP releases are a MUST HAVE. The standout selections come from her last Italian release "Love Italian Style" which was recorded in Milan. Her voice is powerful and fluid and the orchestrations are pure genius. I'm not Italian, but after hearing this disc--I felt like one. Just another example of Connie's unique ability to submerge herself and become part of the song. Perhaps this is why she has baffled the critics for years and is terribly underrated today--because you could never pidgeonhole her or classify her. She was always too versatile to be labelled. Another splendid compilation. Volume II is equally magnificent. There is contention about Connie never being inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame. She should be because she was the first female to break into an entirely male dominated territory and on her own terms. But Connie Francis is not a "rocker" per say. She is the finest intrepretar of the pop standard around today. And she's still going strong!
Love, Italian-American Style!!!!.......2005-06-03
Love, Italian-American Style
I love this album of Italian/Continental songs sung by Ms. Francis from the 60's. Francis had a lovely voice and it is no surprise that she was the most popular "pop" female vocalist of her day. Her renditions of these songs are just great, with Ms. Francis going from very good sounding Italian to English and back again. I have versions of some of these songs by Italian-born singers of the period such as Mina, Dalida, and Pino Donagio and Francis holds her own quite well alongside those marvelous vocalist. I would like to think that people, after hearing Connie's Italian/American interpretations, would also be interested in hearing the singers I mentioned above, in addition to other fine recording artists born in Italia.
Brava Concetta!
Luigi ~ NYC
Why are not there actually singers like her?.......2005-02-11
To say Connie was a triumph of the nature is not exaggerate. She was by far the best female singer not Italian who sang as anyone else the music of that beloved land. Her vocal inflexions, commitment and above all the absolute involvement in every piece he performed.
And despite her personal disgrace she had the spiritual courage to keep going and shine like an eternal star.

The BEST Lullabies!!!.......2007-06-28
All three of my children loved this album. It was given to my daughter as a gift when she was born and she went to sleep each night listening to the tape. Unfortunately she wore the tape out so we had to order it on CD for our twin boys when they came home from the hospital a year ago. We played it for them each night to go to sleep by. The songs still remain their favorites and we love listening to them too. This album will always hold happy memories for us.
Easy to listen to over and over and over.......2007-05-14
I received this as a gift when my daughter was born 15 years ago. I had other lullaby CDs but, frankly, they got on my nerves. This music is beautiful, the lyrics original. I played it over and over because it soothed my daughter. I never got tired of it. When I need to give a baby gift, I always give the Rock-A-Bye Collection. It's magic.
2nd Generation Satisfied.......2007-02-16
I was fortunate enough to find this cassette when my son was very small. We both loved it for many years. I even tried singing May All Your Dreams Come True to him just before his wedding, but of course, couldn't make it through the tears. With my son's first child on the way, I was so happy to find this, now on CD, for my first grandchild.
Soothing lullabyes of which your kids won't tire!.......2005-09-27
I bought this CD when my first son was just a month old, and recently bought a second copy for a back-up. That little baby will be six in a few months, and he and his little brother still listen to it almost every night! (We have a third baby on the way who will probably learn to sleep to Rock-A-Bye, too.)
All of the original songs on this CD are first sung by a great female vocalist, and then repeated instrumentally. My boys really like the music, and while it's very sweet, it's not annoying to listen to. (Some children's music -- let's face it -- is just a little too cute.)
I have purchased this for baby gifts and my friends have all loved the CD as well. I definitely recommend this one!
The greatest lullabye collection ever!.......2005-09-02
I am buying a new CD since we have worn out our old tape! I was given this at my baby shower 9 years ago. I have 5 children now and I have used this music with all of them. They are easily soothed to sleep by the music and when we are not at home, I sing them these songs. We even take it along for long car rides. My children ages 9 and 5, beg me to sing these precious songs at bedtime. When I am not able to, we play the tape in their room. It is a huge part of my children's lives and will certainly continue with their children as well. I am so grateful for this precious music and the joy and soothing it continues to bring to my family!

Ugh!.......2007-07-01
I was looking for music for an island theme party. The selection looked fun -- a lot of recognizable summer party songs with the steel drum flair. But then I bought it and actually listened to it. The steel drum parts are really good; however, the synthesized accompaniment is over powering and really cheesy (it sounds like it should be on Barney). Please, save your money and look elsewhere.

We listen to this CD while we are swimming in the pool or just hanging out with neighbors on our deck. It is great background music and makes you feel like you are on vacation.

What a wonderful CD! I could almost feel the sand between my toes. The quality of sound was way beyond my expectations.
Carnival Steel Drum Collection.......2006-03-21
I bought two of the series. I originally heard them playing as background music in a local store but they were out of the titles I wanted. I found them on amazon.com and ordered them.
The sound quality and musicianship is excellent. The CDs make good background music or music for relaxing. I often play them on my boat while anchored.
