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.

Album Description

The acustic compositions are rich in sound and spirit. The inspiration comes from a lifetime of traveling and performing, of people he has met and known, of women he has loved and lost.

Nasty, honest "Outlaw" music.......2005-09-12

Billie Don's TCL is a fine example of honest, authentic bad-ass songwriting from one of the most respected guys in the business. The reason he was never as popular as his peers (Cash, Jones, Hag, Kristofferson, etc) is because he's so damn blunt. Nothing hidden with political correctedness here folks, but what a joy to listen to. Man, their's just not enough artists like this these days.

A True Inspiration.......2002-07-09

Billy Don Burns is truly an inspiration to me. It takes talent to write a beautiful song but it takes courage to write the truth, good or bad for all the world to see. I'm glad I've had the chance to be introduced to the music and the man.

Great traditional country music.......2002-03-24

Great album, every song is catchy and captures the essence of traditional country music. Good for car listening, at home, or anywhere else.

CLEAR AS AN OZARK MOUNTAIN MORNING.......2002-02-19

IF YOU LISTEN CLOSELY YOU CAN FEEL THE HEART
AND SOUL OF BILLY DON BURN'S IN THESE TRACKS
and that is what true country music is.
It is as clear as the Ozark Mountain morning
where this music was born, raised and lives-
I LOVE THIS "LONESOME TRAIN"
THANK YOU BD-

COUNTRY'S BACK.......2002-02-13

It's proof the "real deals" survive! Billy Don puts "COUNTRY" back on the charts. The likes of Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, Willie and Waylon,Tanya Tucker, Hoyt Axton, Webb Pierce , Johnny Horton, Patsy Cline, Johnny Paycheck,and those of their "grit" will be proud to add him to their peer group.

Billy Don Burns has the courage to be honest and the compassion to be sincere....and that's country in my book.

Let the buyer beware on this one........2006-03-22

Like the other reviewer of this cd, I am also a fan of Buffalo Tom. Unfortunately this doesn't sound very similar to BT, in fact it is a bit dull. None of the songs seem to have hooks or melodies that stick - after you hear it you instantly forget it. I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 to be fair, since I only played it 3 times, hoping it would grow on me. I'd recommend "Up Here" instead of this one, it's much more listener friendly.

buffalo tom leader gets mellow.......2002-09-25

The guy's voice is amazing stuff, a nerdy eddie vedor. he spits sarcasm and love in the same phrase. a very acoustic record full of non sequitors and engaging melodies. a must for all buffalo tom lovers, but still different enough to appeal to more senstive types.

A great album and a great guy. Really nice country........2006-11-18

I enjoyed all of the 13 songs on the CD. My favorites were the ballads, #3 Move On Your Dreams about the young couple that moved up the ladder of life only to end up in tragedy; and Rainbow has real meaning for me---sometimes you don't know what you have until you run away and look back. I also like the upbeat songs like #5 "Family Man" and #9 "Bumper". Mark has a voice that is unique but in some ways sounds like the lead singer of Alabama, Randy Travis, and also a little like Waylon Jennings. I love the album and recommend it to anyone who enjoys good music.
