It's hard to imagine, but Beatles resident mystic George Harrison has arguably become the band's most curmudgeonly cynic. We offer as evidence this splendidly remastered 30th-anniversary edition of his 1970 multidisc solo epic. If the mini-boxed set's booklet and twin inner CD sleeves won't convince you (the album's familiar cover is colorized and altered to include backdrops of a freeway-tangled cityscape and nuclear reactor cooling towers, respectively), then maybe his liner-note apology for Phil Spector's "big production" (kind of like Da Vinci grousing about Mona's crooked smile) or his laconic, stripped-down, 2000 rethink of "My Sweet Lord" will. With such a mindset, it's unsurprising Harrison has allowed a nearly decade-and-a-half gap to grow between recordings. Still, no amount of grumpy auto-revisionism can subtract from the admittedly overwrought majesty of these tracks, which were the logical sonic extension of Abbey Road. It remains Harrison's unequaled masterpiece. The devolved "My Sweet Lord" aside, the bonus tracks here offer new insight: the unreleased "I Live for You" further highlights the album's oft overlooked country facet; spare takes of "Beware of Darkness" and "Let It Down" underscore the strength of Harrison's songwriting; an alternate backing track of "What Is Life" demonstrates the meticulousness of Spector's production. And then there's the project's truly stellar session lineup, which included Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Klaus Voorman, Jim Gordon, Dave Mason, Badfinger, Billy Preston, Ginger Baker, Carl Radle, Gary Brooker, Jim Price, Bobby Keys, Pete Drake and, it turns out, even Phil Collins! --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars ALL THINGS MUST PASS (but George Harrison's spiritual rock triple album is still a classic).......2007-06-24

George Harrison's All Things Must Pass (1970) was the second triple album ever to reach the No.1 spot on the U.S. charts (Woodstock was first, and Wings Over America was the third in 1976). It's a rock classic, and it includes many of George's most spiritual songs, including, of course, My Sweet Lord. The album's texture and mood is sincere, sacred, and immaculate. Phil Spector's "wall of sound" production helps to create that mood, giving the album an intensity and reverence that is most often found in a House of Worship. Other songs on the album, like Apple Scruffs, If Not for You, and the wonderful outtake, I Live For You, all have an English country music sound that features pedal steel guitar, harmonica, and acoustic slide guitar. All of these are real treats, and add to the album's variety. On the spiritual side, My Sweet Lord, Hear Me Lord, The Art Of Dying, and Awaiting On You All are direct in their meaning of finding, knowing, and loving God. Others, like All Things Must Pass, Isn't It A Pity, and Beware Of Darkness, are also spiritual, but in a worldly, more practical way. All of these songs are very good, all are thought provoking, and George sounds great on every one of them. His excellant guitar playing is highlighted throughout (by the time George joined The Beatles, he was one of the hottest young guitar players in Liverpool), and his passionate search for knowing God more intimately seems genuine and pure. The album includes electric guitar fueled straight ahead rock n' roll, acoustic guitar based folk-rock music, and ballads with orchestration. There's an all-star jam session that includes Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, Billy Preston, and Dave Mason, among others, and although pretty good, it's really just a curiosity. There are some extra tracks included, and some are very good. The afore mentioned I Live For You, and an unplugged and passionate Let It Down from 2000 are the best of these, but My Sweet Lord (2000) and an unplugged Beware Of Darkness from 2000 are also very good. All Things Must Pass is a wise and spiritually uplifting musical experience, a rock classic that belongs in every music collection, and it's George Harrison's very best album. And you've gotta love that album cover!

4 out of 5 stars Good material, bad packaging.......2007-06-12

The recording is excellent; the quality is very good and the material is vintage Harrison stuff... well done. But why the bulky packaging? This two-CD set should be in a standard-size double-disc jewel case so it could fit on our shelves or in portable CD carriers. It's an important album for Harrison fans, but needs a better package!

5 out of 5 stars The Endearing Classics of George Harrision- It's Within You.......2007-06-05

I am one of those sad sacks who threw away all his vinyl albums when 8 tracks, cassettes and cd's all made those wonderful album covers and contents obsolete along with BSR turntables and diamond needles. Trouble is that now I miss those classic rock and folk treasures and wind up buying them again on CD and spreading them out into all my devices. One of these events involved All Things Must Pass, George Harrison.

George Harrison, if you remember and are old enough to recall, was the lead Beatle when it came to such things as transcendental meditation, the Mahareeshi Mahesh Yoga, and controversal trips to India with musical input from Ravi Shankar. Not only was George darker, more psychological in his music, a bit wailing and depressing, but he may have been just as good in his own right as the Beatle hierarchy; John and Paul. This particular CD, All Things Must Pass has two entries, Beware of Darkness and Isn't it a Pity that are particularly ingeneous because they exemplify George Harrison's uncompromising ability to bring out from listeners both pathos and unmitigated pleasure st the same time. George's guitar skills I always thought were better than the other lads. When you add such jewels as Wah Wah, My Sweet Lord (Chiffons or no Chiffons?), and Apple Scruffs you wind up with a CD set that rivals the so-called perfect albums ie. Dark Side of the Moon, Rumours, Tapestry. So even if you don't usually double purchase, sometimes getting it right is better than denying yourself the pleasure of this masterpiece. The way things are today, you will be listening to this George Harrison album everywhere, as you will soon realize its significance and influence on past and present rock music.

5 out of 5 stars Greatest Spiritual Rock Album of All Time.......2007-06-03

You don't have to believe in God to fall in love with album, but it helps. Many of Harrison's wonderful songs are addressed directly to the Lord. George's classic hit My Sweet Lord is here, and the seasoned ear can determine for themselves whether or not he ripped off He's So Fine by the Chiffons (he didn't.) The Shy Beatle's gentle voice is wistful and spiritual, and Eric Clapton (uncredited, due to record label issues) tears up some elegiac and soulful guitar licks. Just beautiful. The last third of the album is pretty much take it or leave it. After a cohesive double album of spiritual, love, and playful songs, George rocks out on four long instrumental jams. I don't listen to them very often. But the bulk of the album is great. There is a wonderful cover of Dylan's If Not For You on disc one, as well as the classic What Is Life, featured in Goodfellas. The bonus songs new to this edition are also keepers, especially I Live For You, which is a beautiful song that fits in perfectly with the other tracks. Listen to this album and you'll dig love too.

5 out of 5 stars Reminiscing Spiritual Rock!.......2007-05-10

When George Harrison broke free from those other three clowns, it was the wisest thing he ever did! No longer constrained to "Papa Lennon," "Mama Mc.Cartney" or "Sibling Starr," his talent exploded and he could finally joyously chant the Hare Krsna Mantra with total freedom!

(I shouln't be so hard on Ringo! He played drums for Harrison on this album!)

This album has special meaning for me! In my 20's in Pocatello, Idaho, every spring I had a ritual. It didn't matter what vehicle I owned, whether the Volkswagen Beetle, the souped-up Javelin (Holy J) or the Firebird, I always had a killer audio system in it. The system evolved from 8 track to cassette. And I would drive that vehicle through the mountains on Cherry Creek road while blasting this album joyously! All Things Must Pass is so positive and uplifting!

Now I am 52, and my vehicle of choice is my Toyota Tacoma. My medium of choice is the iPod. My system of choice is a 700 watt Thump kicker, piped into two massive Polk Audio subwoofers, coupled into two huge horn tweeters in back of the extended cab! "EH....eh...:)"

And my album of choice to make all the drivers on their cell phones angry at me as I drive my commute is this album!

All I need to do now is to drive my truck back to Pocatello, on Cherry Creek Road to complete this glorious metamorphosis! While frying the truck's electrical system blasting All Things Must Pass to the world!

As fans of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy know, each film exists in two versions: the theatrical one and the extended one that appeared on DVD. This luxurious box set--which also comes with a detailed essay on the movie's musical themes--features the full extended score, so many cues not on the CDs of the individual movies are included. Granted, the majority of listeners will be perfectly happy with the shorter versions of the scores--it's a safe bet that most people can live without hearing, say, Ian McKellen's 35-second-long ditty "The Road Goes Ever On" at the beginning of "Bag End," or Viggo Mortensen's performance of his own composition, "The Song of Lúthien," within the track "The Nazgûl." But if you're a completist and/or a devotee of Howard Shore's pounding tympani and overwhelming choral compositions (featured particularly prominently on disc 3, a large chunk of which is devoted to a battle scene), then this set is a dream come true. Audiophiles should note that the fourth disc, a DVD, offers the score in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. Fire up those speakers so the whole shire can hear. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Album Description

An epic film score receives epic treatment with The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring/Complete Recordings. Released for the first time on CD, the complete score for the first film in the Lord of the Rings trilogy contains more than 180 minutes of music on three CDs plus a DVD-Audio disc of the entire score in Surround Sound. Breathtaking and majestic, the 2001 Oscar and Grammy winning score compsted by Howard Shore also includes Enya's Oscar nominated "May It Be." For fans of any of The Lord of the Rings films, the Fellowship of the Ring/Complete Recordings is an essential experience.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful.......2007-06-15

I picked up this set because I am both a LOTR fan, movies and books and I need music to help me work. There are some tracks that I skipped over, like the short little ditties in the bar, but many of the songs, such as the Elvish chants are easy to get lost in - its just too bad they don't last longer. The packaging really is well done, though the DVD disc was loose when I received it in the mail, but unharmed. I will have to wait until the price on the second set comes down a little more, but I can't wait for ROTK.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome.......2007-06-12

This is by far the editon to get if you loved the lord of the rings soundtrack. It has every song on it from the extended edition. and the DVD-A version is very nice.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Music tracks from Movie.......2007-05-03

Brings the movie back as you listen to the full version of the track.

3 out of 5 stars Complete?.......2007-04-07

This CD collection is wonderful; it has much of the material from the movie that was only included in the extended edition DVD, but it is far from complete. While it does have the complete version of "The Passing of the Elves" and two versions of "The Road Goes Ever On", many of the songs are highly incomplete and inferior to the originals. "Aniron," the theme for Aragorn and Arwen performed by Enya, is incomplete and the lyrics are hard to match to what is being sung. The sound quality for this song is even worse on the accompanying DVD, which is supposed to have all of the music in "superior sound". The song "Prophecy" is reduced to two barely-audible lines and "May It Be" is shortened and different than the original. $60 for this when there are more complete songs on the original soundtrack is ridiculous.

3 out of 5 stars Great Collection, Poor Packaging.......2007-04-03

I realy can't add to what others have said about this set, the music is simply the best LOTR soundtrack collection out there! It is all here, and the contents of this set will make any LOTR fan happy and the music DVD is a great one disc addition if you want to hear the entire score in one sitting (to which I have done a number of times already).
My only complaint is the somewhat flimsy cardboard box that houses the contents of this musical treasure. Mine came damaged, and considering the price, I expected better packaging. This is a minor quabble on my part and NO, I havent returned it due to the fact that the music itself Is what I truly treasure, It just would have been nicer to have recieved it undamaged.

5 out of 5 stars Reminiscing Spiritual Rock!.......2007-05-10

When George Harrison broke free from those other three clowns, it was the wisest thing he ever did! No longer constrained to "Papa Lennon," "Mama Mc.Cartney" or "Sibling Starr," his talent exploded and he could finally joyously chant the Hare Krsna Mantra with total freedom!

(I shouln't be so hard on Ringo! He played drums for Harrison on this album!)

This album has special meaning for me! In my 20's in Pocatello, Idaho, every spring I had a ritual. It didn't matter what vehicle I owned, whether the Volkswagen Beetle, the souped-up Javelin (Holy J) or the Firebird, I always had a killer audio system in it. The system evolved from 8 track to cassette. And I would drive that vehicle through the mountains on Cherry Creek road while blasting this album joyously! All Things Must Pass is so positive and uplifting!

Now I am 52, and my vehicle of choice is my Toyota Tacoma. My medium of choice is the iPod. My system of choice is a 700 watt Thump kicker, piped into two massive Polk Audio subwoofers, coupled into two huge horn tweeters in back of the extended cab! "EH....eh...:)"

And my album of choice to make all the drivers on their cell phones angry at me as I drive my commute is this album!

All I need to do now is to drive my truck back to Pocatello, on Cherry Creek Road to complete this glorious metamorphosis! While frying the truck's electrical system blasting All Things Must Pass to the world!

2 out of 5 stars Yes, it is THAT bad.......2007-06-08

Why, why is it so difficult to reissue the originals, in full? The music is wonderful--well, if you're a fan, you know that already--but the sound effects really are laughably bad. And as the sound effects were integral to the atmosphere of several tracks, it really does matter. Now, instead of the jungle sounds that accompanied the original track, you get to listen to some house sparrows chirping and flitting cheerfully from tree to tree, as if you were sailing toy boats in the park instead of slogging through the jungles of New Guinea. If the original sound effects are missing, minimal effort from RCA could have secured at least reasonably realistic substitutes. Instead, we get this pathetic garbage. Really a shame. That second star is only because the original music is so good.

2 out of 5 stars More victory at sea.......2007-03-26

It's ok, but much of it was cut from the original album. I have the complete set of 33 1/3 albums,there were three, the cd is ok but lacks the original sounds put on when recorded.Sounds were added that were not originally there.It can't compare to the original.

5 out of 5 stars Victory At Sea.......2007-03-09

This time honored musical composition is without a doubt the best in its depiction of war in the Pacific. The music tells the real story!!

5 out of 5 stars More Victory at Sea.......2007-01-04

The quality of the digitally remastered music on this CD is far and above what I was expecting. The entire CD plays flawlessly without so much as a hint of unwanted background noise. My experience in purchasing this CD was very good. Shipment was almost immediate and delivery prompt. I can find absolutely nothing to complain about and am very happy with my purchase. Thanks a million.

2 out of 5 stars Victory at Sea Volumes 1 and 2.......2006-12-14

What an utter disappointment. I've got the originals on vinyl, and this sad excuse for a reissue was not worth the money I spent. Most of the sound effects from the original have been left out, and the final 10-minute-plus piece, "Symphonic Scenario", bears not even a passing resemblance to the original. Don't waste your time and money.

4 out of 5 stars True to the word 'virtuoso'.......2007-03-17

Joe Pass's album was so liked when it came out he went on to record a bunch of sequels. So how does 52 minutes of solo guitar stand up? Joe Pass tackles a program of standards - only "Blues for Alican" is an original. The standards he plays includes some warhorses -- "Night And Day", "Stella By Starlight", "Cherokee", "Have You Met Miss Jones?", and "'Round Midnight". The solo guitar version is sufficiently different enough from, say, Sonny Rollins' "Night And Day", you certainly won't be bored with having another version. The playing itself is a marvel. Pass swings through each song, his notes and clean and perfect, and since he's playing by himself, the differences between solos and verse/choruses are constantly blurred. The main reason I give the CD 4 stars instead of 5 is that the songs themselves blur together a little. "How High The Moon" and "Have You Met Miss Jones?" stand out the most to me, I'm sure everyone has different favorites. Very highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars A classic. That's all........2006-11-14

You'll be hypnotized by Pass. Nothing but his genius on solo, hollow-body guitar, transforming jazz standards. When this came out in the 70s, it was unusual. Then, everybody started with solo records. Pass was the first, and it stands the test of time.

5 out of 5 stars Real Solo Guitar by the Master.......2006-09-16

Some reviewers apparently don't like unaccompanied guitar. However, to compare this to unaccompanied Miles on trumpet, or unaccompanied Sonny Rollins is a false analogy. No horn can play more than one note at a time, no chords, no bass lines. Only a guitar or a keyboard (or vibes) can do that. It's fair enough to say you don't like the sound of solo guitar. Not everyone likes harpsichord, or sackbut,or theorbo. However, if you do like guitar music this recording is the bible on how to play it "solo". Classical guitar is a different animal. Joe Pass played barely-amplified archtop jazz guitar,and no guitarist I've heard in my life played the "whole guitar" like him, not George VanEps, not Wes Montgomery. What I think is most stunning about his playing is the continous flow of ideas, weaving in and out of chords, single lines, bass, melody, rhythm. As some have pointed out, he had great respect for the melody and overall structure of the American Standard Tunes he played. Even though his substitutions and altered bebop-ish lines were breathtaking, you could still recognize the flow of the tune. There was plenty of speed and chops, but that's not what has moved me since I first heard him 30 years ago. You could tell his playing was largely improvised and every chorus had something new. I heard him play the same tunes many times, live and recorded, and each interpretation was different. He was playing at the speed of thought. More than anyone I've ever heard he sounded as if he could almost instantly transmit a creative idea from his "inner ear" to his fingers. It sounded like it was as easy as breathing. It sounded spectacular. He was the most natural guitarist I've ever heard.

3 out of 5 stars Even a Great Guitarist Needs Some Help on Occasion.......2006-08-18

I am a guitar player. I love to listen to guitar music. However, as you'll read in another of my reviews, I don't inherently love instrumental jazz to begin with.

I thought these standards, while played with great technical virtuosity, would have been more interesting had Pass added some "color" to the tunes by alternating some solos with other instruments such as a piano and sax. Even though I'm a guitar player, I find songs done with a single tonal coloration and singular style to be boring. Imagine Miles Davis doing So What all the way through with only his trumpet...

If you are a devoted jazz lover and/or a devoted lover of instrumental guitar, add a couple of stars. My guitarist friend loves him, but I can pass on Pass.

5 out of 5 stars Simply Virtuoso!.......2006-03-25

Joe Pass' virtuosism as a jazz guitar player far exceeds any expectations you could have. A real guitar virtuoso. The remastering of this classical recording has achieved a real improvement in the sound and it is a pleasure to listen to it. A must-have for any jazz fan or guitar player.

Album Description

'Pass In Time' is a collection of songs taken from Beth Orton's three previous albums. Most noted for her subtle vocals reminiscent of 70's singer/songwriters such as Carole King & Carly Simon. Her music is a fusion of graceful acoustic folk, melancholy country-blues, down-tempo trip hop & dubby electronica. Includes the singles 'She Cries Your Name', 'Someone's Daughter' & 'Touch Me With Your Love', alongside B-sides, remixes, collaborations, & rarities. 24 tracks. Heavenly. 2003.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Underappreciated Songstress .......2007-04-16

Beth Orton is a hell of a songwriter with a unique voice. Why she isn't Sarah Mclachlan level as far as popularity is anybody's guess. "Pass In Time" is a collection for casual fans and Beth Orton collectors. (CD#1) The best songs from "Trailer Park", "Central Reservation" and EP "Best Bit". The only thing missing is the touching original version of "Central Reservation". The faster "The Then Again" version is on this set. The new pop song for this album "Same Day" is quite good. "Daybreaker" her 3rd CD gets the short end of the stick. There's only two songs - "Concrete Sky" and "Thinking About Tomorrow". "Paris Train", "Mount Washington" and "Ted's Waltz" - all outstanding numbers belong somewhere in this collection- 4 STARS. (CD#2) Remixes, "B" sides and rarities. More for established fans. The standouts are the Folk songs "Safety" and "Dolphins" - 3 STARS. (THE BOOKLET) Cool photos, extensive liner notes and musicians credits. Beth herself gives thoughts on each song. She's big on Jimi Hendrix and Rickie Lee Jones which makes her all right in my book. 5 STARS. This is a good collection, but not complete from her first three CD's. Beth later released "Comfort Of Strangers" which has a stripped down Americana flavor. For completists "The Other Side Of Daybreak" is a dance remix CD heavy on "Trip-Hop". Beth Orton is something special. This is good place to start for a newcomer.

4 out of 5 stars Fans can never be objective..........2006-04-26

From the OBJECTIVE reviewer...This only thing stopping this collection from a solid 5 star rating is the fact that it includes remixes and some b-sides. Therefore, it ends up being a must have for fans missing some great tracks and too much for someone wanting an overview of Beth Orton's great music.

5 out of 5 stars A Good Beth Primer.......2006-04-19

As another reviewer says, this is a fine place to start lovin' Beth. If you don't know her, you should. Once you do, you will at the very least like her. She - IMHO - is one of the best artists to come along in recent memory. So do yourself a favor, and check her out if you haven't already.

4 out of 5 stars But it's not an album...........2004-12-13

If you're like i was a year ago, and you are not sure where to put your money when it comes to Beth Orton, you'll buy this CD. This collection contains some of her best songs, with a few missing exceptions ("Carmella," "Paris Train," and her rendition of Cat Steven's "Wild World" come to mind), and is a great introduction to her work. It makes for a great gift to someone who seriously needs to be introduced to Beth Orton (one of the best female musicians of our time).

Additionally the second CD features some jewels that any Beth Orton fan will appreciate. For example "Safety" is a sweet and candid B-side. I would have liked more Superpinkymandy material (a rare album she made with William Orbit in 1993), but what it has still makes it a jewel to own.

The only problem with this edition is that it is not an album of hers. To many this will not be an issue, but i am the type of person that prefers to own entire albums. It is essentially a "greatest hits" album. So, it is great if you're money-conscious, or not a huge fan, or buying it for someone else, but because of this i cannot endorse it with five stars (whereas the music itself certainly deserves such a rating).

5 out of 5 stars One gorgeous collection!.......2004-10-31

I first heard Beth Orton several years ago when I got her first her album Trailer Park. Though I was blown away by several of the songs, some of them did not impress me overly. This year a friend told me about the collection and how great it was. Boy, were they right! There's not a bad song on here. Her voice is so beautiful and so emotive it's hard to not get lost in it. Songs such as Thinking About Tomorrow, Dolphins and Concrete Sky are some of my favorites, followed closely by Stars all seem to weep, She cries your name and Stolen Car. This cd is the best purchase I've made recently and will be playing for quite some time.

5 out of 5 stars Into the Great Unknown.......2007-05-14

The artist has gone through many changes over his close 35 year career in the industry...this is perhaps the greatest unknown talent ever to strap on a Fender... A voice many only dream of having, and a command of music unmatched by few. The MSB never rocked like this lineup did, although they enjoyed some commercial success several years later. I have been listening to Stagepass for over 25 years now, and although knowing many of the notes and drumbeats, little extra ticks in the show by heart, I still find it as refreshing as ever. I never take a road trip without it, and it continues to bring downer days back up for me all these years later. The only question remaining to be answered is why the band never got to be the superstars they truly are(and who is the woman on the album cover?) You could take a bite out of her and pray for lockjaw! ;o)

I believe I recently purchased about my tenth copy of Stagepass, what with 8-tracks, cassettes, albums over the years all losing their sound(by being played over and over). It will remain in my collection forever. Highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Michael Stanley Band Stagepass.......2006-03-15

I first encounterd this as an album in the 70's. It was a great album and the band was not one that many had heard of... was great to find a piece of my teenage history available on CD and brings back the great memories of the songs I loved. Highly recommend if you are looking for a great live recording with rich instrumentals and vocals.

5 out of 5 stars One of the best live recordings in Rock history!.......2006-03-10

This, along with "The Allman Brothers Live At the Fillmore East", is one of the best live recordings in Rock history. All of the songs are terrific, especially "Midwest Midnight" and "Will You Love Me Tomorrow". MSB, in all of it's forms, was one of the greatest Rock bands ever and this recording demonstrates how really great they were. If you want real music performed by real musicians on real instruments, buy this CD now!

5 out of 5 stars Should have been a star..........2005-07-11

Michael Stanley could well have been the best rock and roller that very few people outside the midwest ever heard of. But, those who were the biggest names in the 70's sure heard of him. Bruce Springsteen, Joe Walsh,Todd Rundgren, and dozens of others, appeared on Michael's albums and onstage with him. This album, Stagepass, was recorded at the Cleveland Agora Ballroom in October, 1976. Recorded during 4 shows in 3 nights, it represents the essence of true midwestern, blue-collar 70's rock and roll. From the opening strains of Midwest Midnight ( an ode to the terrible way record companies treat artists ), to the jazz-influenced Movin' Right Along, to the solid rocker Let's Get The Show On The Road, this album represents one of the best live albums ever put out. Although a little underproduced by later standards, it was meant to be a true reproduction of a very good band, mistakes and all. It sold well enough to make Michael Stanley a big draw throughout the midwest, and a household name in Cleveland, at the time the "Rock And Roll Capital Of The World". He set attendance records that have yet to be broken, including selling out the Cleveland Coliseum 5 nights in a row-- thats more than 125,000 tickets-- in just a few hours. If you like real classic rock, give this a listen. You won't be disappointed...

5 out of 5 stars Awesome sound from teh NorthCoast.......2004-12-15

I love this band. Why they never made it to the big show I'll never know. I have seen them several times in concert and I've never been dissapointed. Right Back at Ya is another great album from this band.

This is a fantastic CD. The Elders are different than The Pogues, or Flogging Molly, but have a style that fans of those great bands will enjoy. Standouts include Bad Irish Boy, Send a Prayer, Racing the Tide, Gonna Take a Miracle, and Saint Brendan Had a Boat. One of my missions for the next year or two is to travel to see The Elders, since it doesn't look like they'll be in California in the near future. Check out earlier CD's as well, you can't go wrong.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic New Release from The Elders.......2007-02-17

Racing the Tide, the newest release from The Elders, shows off all the immaculate musicianship, strong songwriting and story telling skills of this Kansas City based Celtic rock band. Formed in 1998 The Elders have been rocking Kansas City and Celtic festivals across the country for the last 7 years. County Wicklow native Ian Byrne fronts the band, lead singer, bohdran and battle drum, with Steve Phillips, guitar (formerly of The Rainmakers), Brent Hoad on fiddle, Norm Dahlor on bass, Tommy Sutherland - drums, and relative newcomer to the band, Joe Miquelon on keys.

Foot tapping, sing-along beckons as the Cd opens with Send a Prayer. The band are well known for telling "true stories" at their live shows, and the first track is followed by some of these true stories... Uncle Charlie, Story of a Fish and Bad Little Irish Boy (could this bad little irish boy be Ian we wonder?). The title track Racing the Tide is my favourite cut on this CD, wonderful harmonies. Brent Hoad's incredible lyrics are showcased in Dear God, St Brendan Had a Boat (another true story if legends are to be believed). The track Australia is a departure from the majority of the Elders tunes, putting one in mind of a 1920's speakeasy. You'll rock out with Gonna Take a Miracle, and Right with the World.

I strongly encourage you to buy this CD.... and see The Elders live if you ever get the chance - you won't be sorry.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent.......2007-02-12

The Elders are an excellent Celtic band. They have songs with energy and meaning along with fun. Ian is a great lead singer and the band has awesome harmony as well. Their songs DO stick in you head long after the last track. Well done...CHEERS!

5 out of 5 stars Racing the Tide, by the Elders.......2007-02-12

A truly remarkable CD. The music is original and ranges from driving, up-tempo pieces that make the listener want to "crank it up" to a couple of tunes that slow things down just enough to help you get into the story that the song tells. Lyrics are creative and compelling. Some are just for fun, some tell important stories, and they stay in your head long after you turn the CD off. This is good stuff! D Schaal

I love Mannheim Steamroller's Christmas music, so I've been collecting their music for other holidays as well. I wish they'd avoided the occasional speaking parts in this but I love most of the musical parts. They did a good job on the Aaron Copland piece! I'll be listening to it other than on July 4th.

5 out of 5 stars Manheim Steamroller's American Spirit.......2007-02-13

Another excellent CD I'd recommend to all ages, even us oldsters!

3 out of 5 stars American Spirit: Mannheim Stemroller.......2007-01-09

Adequate, but not as inspirational as I'd hoped. Much reciting.

Blessings to Amazon!

Ella at her best. A great follow-up to other collaborations with Joe Pass.

5 out of 5 stars Tennessee Waltz.......2005-02-10

Fabulous!!! I may be a little partial to this particular song...Redd Stewart, co-writer of "Tennessee Waltz" was my dad!

5 out of 5 stars The Best Of Ella and Pass.......2001-06-22

I had the pleasure of knowing Joe Pass in the last days of his life, and he considered this to be his best work with Ella Fitzgerald. It is the only album they did together where he used an accoustic guitar, and the subtle shadings found here cannot be matched in their other work.

As for Ella's voice, it is the most controlled and inspired of their four studio albums. All of these albums were done with no rehearsal, giving both Ella and Joe a chance for true spontaneous improvisation. The song choices are excellent, and I especially recommend "Nature Boy" for the most unusual tune the two ever did together.

Spontaneous interaction & improvisation among musicians is a characteristic inherent to jazz music. Although Joe Pass was originally known for his ability to play solo guitar, on "Fitzgerald & Pass...Again" the spontaneous interaction between Pass and Fitzgerald in this duo format allows jazz fans to witness group improvisation at its most rudimentary level - that between a singer and an instrumentalist. The telepathic communication between Pass' acoustic guitar and Fitzgerald's vocals can be powerfully felt because there is no other accompaniment to interfere. This is beautiful music and jazz artistry of the highest quality. Hear two masters at their finest. Five stars.

5 out of 5 stars Fitzgerald & Pass are wonderful together..........2000-04-05

This is another fine session by jazz vocalist Ella Fitzgerald and jazz guitarist Joe Pass. Fitzgerald and Pass performed together for the 1st time at the Playboy jazz festival in the early 70's, and the response was so great that Norman Granz founder of Pablo Records had them go straight to the studio to cut their 1st Lp "Take Love Easy." Fitzgerald and Pass Again.. is their second album of four. It is on of the best(though all four are worth getting) it includes a classic scat vocal version of "Rain" an actually swinging version of "Tennessee Waltz" as well as many other jazz standrds sung with swing and feeling. This is a very intimate and special session essentail to all jazz collectors, as well as casual Fitzgerald fans. Essental music.
