Amazon.com essential recording

In addition to subverting the conventions of greatest-hits discs--only 5 of these 17 tracks appear in the hit versions from Carpenter's studio albums--Party Doll does a better job of balancing the singer/songwriter's moods than any of her releases since 1992's Come On Come On. Here, upbeat celebrations such as "Down at the Twist and Shout" (included in a live Super Bowl take) and "I Feel Lucky" comfortably rub shoulders with the quietly sweet ("Dreamland," originally on an early-'90s various-artists set of lullabies) and brooding ("Stones in the Road") sides of Carpenter's work. Finally, her rendition of Mick Jagger's title tune hints that she has vital work yet to do. --Rickey Wright

I was very pleased with the service I received and the music is very good.

5 out of 5 stars Nice CD.......2007-03-13

Good quality and many of the songs I have heared on the radio.

4 out of 5 stars "for sentimental reasons".......2005-09-07

"This Shirt" - the mere lyrical content to this song can bring tears to my eyes - that's how good it is!

10,000 miles - quite simply "beautiful" - the ultimate song.

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous songs, great artist and singer. A great listen........2004-10-21

The songs on this album range from down-home country (Shut Up and Kiss Me, I Feel Lucky) to introspective folky (Stones in the Road)to just plain good-time toe-tapping fun (Down at the Twist and Shout). My personal favorite is the lush and gorgeous 10,000 miles, a long, generous and heartfelt wave of emotion set to music. It is truly a masterwork, the kind of recording that only a very few of the most gifted artists could ever construct. This song alone puts Mary Chapin Carpenter into the elite league of All-Time Greats, be it folk or country. But there's much more! Ms Carpenter is not content to be a fabulous singer and songwriter; she's obviously compelled by a powerful innerspring of talent and humanity to new horizons of discovery for her -- and, because she is so perceptive and talented -- for us. This ain't cookie-cutter music, folks. This is the REAL thing. For anyone who's tired of playlists and me-too musicians, Mary Chapin Carpenter is a gust of the highly-charged clear breeze that follows a thunderstorm and lights up your lungs, eyes and heart -- and has echoes of the storm that preceded it. Are there gripes about this music? Only if you don't like emotion, feeling and involvement. This is class A-plus music top to bottom, from an A-class artist. Party Doll was my first CD from this brilliant musician, but I'm rapidly buying the rest of her collection, and haven't been disappointed yet. I doubt that you'll be either. Love you, Mary.

5 out of 5 stars A good value, and a great place to start.......2004-03-20

I was only casually aquainted with Mary Chapin Carpenter's music before picking up this album. The hits I knew were all here, and so was a lot more material I have come to love as well. I was a bit leery that "Down at the Twist and Shout" was a live version from the Super Bowl; this song was the primary reason I wanted a MCC album, and I was concerned a live version recorded in a stadium during the Super Bowl might be of inferior recording quality. But I needn't have worried, the sound is great, and the performance is energetic and fun, with a verse in Creole thrown in for good measure. "This Shirt" is probably my favorite track I was unfamiliar with, but the entire album is quality; there are very few 17-track albums by any artist where I can say I enjoyed every song. I now look forward to exploring her original albums. I highly recommend this album to anyone looking for an introduction to this great artist.

    As a child I listened to "teddy bear's picnic" and I wanted to have a cd to hear it again. What a bonus to also get these other songs!! They are all playful music...happy tunes which lift your mood. Some remind me of music from old cartoons. I am very pleased with this cd.

    5 out of 5 stars Elegant music for parties or relaxation.......2001-01-13

    Elegant, sprightly music that recreates the 1900s-1910s in authentic arrangements that don't sound creaky to modern ears. Audiophile-quality sound, as well. Highly recommended!

    5 out of 5 stars Will appeal to many listeners who enjoy a variety of music........1999-03-01

    I have owned this recording previously in its vinyl LP format. It was one of the most natural sounding records I had ever heard -- of the highest quality audiophile sound. The new CD follows as a sonic equal to the LP. The music of mostly popular tunes of the Victorian era is magnificently played and most enjoyable to listen to from start to finish. Absolutely superb!

    5 out of 5 stars Marimba at it's best.......2001-06-21

    One of the greatest muscians alive, Leigh Howard Stevens has taken the marimba to new heights with his incredible style and abilities. Marimba When is a favorite among many marimbist and I do hope that amazon restocks this fantastic cd. If you are looking for a great cd, this one doesn't dissapoint.

    5 out of 5 stars Is this played by one player?.......2000-07-06

    Wow is the best statement that you can say about this title. The marimba is an emerging instrument, and Leigh Howard Stevens is definatly the best at it. His musical communication through the instrument is incredible. Buy the Cd and enjoy a master at work

    5 out of 5 stars Stevens is one of the best marimbists of our time!.......1999-11-04

    Leigh Howard Stevens takes simple childrens piano pieces and turns them into emotional and captivating marimba solos. The first piece is my personal favorite and though it is not that hard Stevens makes is exciting to listen to and to play. The other Debussy pieces besides Goliwog's Cakewalk can grow too repeatative over time. Other than those few pieces this is a fantastic cd, a "must have" for the trained marimbists and yet is still enjoyable for those with no marimba education. He demonstrates good roll qualaties and a very sharp technical aspect to the tougher pieces. Enjoy!
