2 out of 5 stars Not his best work.......2007-06-08

Richard Harris was and still is my favorite actor. I very much enjoyed A Tramp Shining as well. On this particular double cd, My Boy is the best of it all. Much of the music is terrible, and his delivery, unfortunately, is histrionic. I love the sound of his voice whether talking or singing but when the lyrics are ridiculous and the music pretty much the same, there wasn't much he could do about it. Except pass on the recording.

5 out of 5 stars Golden Era Harris.......2007-05-01

I think this is an excellent, and most welcome compilation of a couple of Richard Harris albums from the long-ago, more innocent past. I don't know what I love about the guy--sincerity? And the music is always fabulous. At any rate, if you're a Richard Harris fan, I think you'll live with any vocal limitations he may have in order to get to the visceral connection. I like it. You'll probably like it, too.

1 out of 5 stars He'll never have that recipe again... OH NOOOOO!!!!.......2007-04-01

I was a major, I mean, MAJOR fan of the Harris/Webb projects "A Tramp Shining" & "The Lawn Went On Forever" and this CD collection is nowhere near the artistry or sincerity of those two projects. Harris sounds like freakin' Robert Goulet in these two CD's and the arrangements are kinda' cheesy.

The songs on "Slides" are written by Tony Romeo who also wrote for the Partridge Family.

The "My Boy" disc does have some Webb songs on it which somewhat helps but Harris' singing is so lounge lizard slick it kinda' ruins the whole "regular guy" sound of the other two Webb projects.

I don't take a shine to this "Tramp" of a collection

3 out of 5 stars For Richard Harris Fans Only.......2006-05-02

I would NOT recommend this CD to those who are not already RH fans. A Tramp Shining would be an infinitely better place to start if you are familiar with his work. Some reviewers (see review by Coolerking)are unaware that one of the songs on Disc 1)- "Ballad to an Unborn Child" - is actually the music from another RH movie "Man in the Wilderness". In my opinion the title song "Slides" is the sole highlight of Disc 2.Overall the title song, "Once Upon a Dustry Road," "I'm Comin' Home," and "Best Way to See America," form the value in Disc 2 with "Beth," "Ballad to an Unborn Child," "My Boy" and "This is the Way" being the strengths of Disc 1. A GOOD CD but, far from a GREAT CD. - Mountiain Man.

5 out of 5 stars Irresistable Despite Some Hideous Notes!.......2006-04-02

If you are an obsessive fan of the loud, late Irishman as I am, you must buy this newly released two-fer. Some of the notes he hits are sublimely awful, but there are gems here, two, like "Sidewalk Song," "Ballad to an Unborn Child," "This is Where I Came In," on "My Boy." On "Slides," the album he himself was "rubbish," I was delighted to hear "Sunny Jo," as I lost my mother Joanne last year, "Once Upon a Dusty Road," and "Slides," which I call, "Dumbledore Sings." HA! There is a little treasure at the end on the bonus tracks called "Half of Every Dream" that is just beautiful.

Captured on this one disc are the great film scores Bernard Herrmann did for several classic science fiction films of the '50s and '60s. Herrmann did not go in for simple atmospherics and cheap orchestral tricks with his music. He knew that the music would have to conjure a mental world all its own. This is especially true in "The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad". It's a tone poem Rimsky-Korsakov could have written. The best here is "The Day the Earth Stood Still" with its use of the (then) revolutionary theremin. It's a clear masterpiece, all on its own. --Paul Cook

5 out of 5 stars The other essential Herrmann CD.......2004-08-25

I like to think of this CD as being the "Forbidden Planet" of film scores CDs -- technically marvelous, consistently enthralling on an emotional and mental level, and way ahead of its time.

Unfortunately it is not available as I write this. Last time I visited this Amazon site, there was one CD for sale for almost $60. You'll have to make up your own mind if this music is worth that much to you. I made my choice long ago to own this and keep it in my library, conceivably forever.

With five film scores, 35 tracks and 72 minutes of the most high grade science fiction music, this CD should be considered the definitive source for Bernard Herrmann's non-Hitchcock film scores. Not only did he conduct the National Philharmonic Orchestra in these recordings, the composer approved of the Phase 4 recording and mixing. It is, as the notes say, a unique listening experience.

I have found this CD to be a constant source of imagination, vision and scope in film music that still has no peer 30 years after its production. The opening sequence to "Journey To The Center of the Earth" is better than it ever was in the theater, where the music was a hackneyed backdrop to an incredilbe film. In this CD, the music dwarfs the film action.

My favorite sequence in this issue is Herrmann's work for the Ray Bradbury novella "Fahrenheit 451", which was recast in some minds recently when "Fahrenheit 911" appeared in theaters throughout the country.

Every bit of the miracle of that little film is projected through this eerily wonderful music, which seems to comprise a world of its own. The sections help recall Sontag's first trip on the fire engine, the bedroom fire and the finale.

The lengthiest tract on this disk is the near 27 minute set from the film "Gulliver's Travels". I've never seen the movie but will attest that the music is out of this world in a very British way. This section seems closer to following the musical rules for a suite than any other on this disk.

Decca had the good sense to return the Bernard Herrmann-conducted Hitchcock scores to circulation, so maybe they will do the same with this miraculous disk. Again, the notes are nothing to write home about, but even with that considered no lover of film music or the music of Bernard Herrmann can consider their library complete without this disk.

5 out of 5 stars I listen to it every day.......2006-12-31

Honey Slides is yet another unique blend of Cajun tunes by a band I just can't seem to stop listening to. I've never heard of any band who could mix traditional zydeco with rock, jazz and blues, and pull it off well like the Bluerunners can. Honey Slides is my favorite album by them so far. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves zydeco, or country, or blues, or jazz, and rock. They cover it all with authentic enthusiasm and a root understanding of music from South Louisiana on up through the ages. I can never erase the smile on my face that results every time I hear an opening to one of their songs. Some of the songs on this album are uplifting, while some are soothing to the soul, and others just make you want to dance. You can't go wrong with it. It has something for everyone.

5 out of 5 stars Alright By Me, Alright Bayou.......2006-12-04

Imagine that you and your pet alligator are going for a moonlit stroll through the Louisiana bayou. Peeking out from behind a bald cypress is a rickety shack leaning on its foundation, or is it rocking? Oozing out of every crack is the sound of Zydeco, that uniquely American musical melange at once primitive, nuanced, and irresistibly infectious. You and your reptilian companion approach and open the door. Inside is a real old-fashioned throwdown and the Bluerunners man the bandstand.

Honey Slides, the third Bluerunners release, will delight purists and rockers alike. This outfit manages to seamlessly blend absolute authenticity with a hip, contemporary sensibility; nice trick! Few new releases list fiddle, mandolin, accordion, national guitar, lap steel guitar, rubboard, and triangle in their credits, as this one does, along with more familiar instruments. While this Cajun roux will have you reaching for the crawdaddy bowl, it never once sounds like a caricature, or an exploitation. It is merely what happened when Zydeco met the new millennium.

Nearly all tracks are original, which is where you find the most pleasant surprise of all - consistently excellent writing. Mark Meaux and company have located that magic point in song lyrics, originality, poetry, content, and deceptive simplicity. This is the kind of quality and depth one rarely encounters. Not one bad track to be found, but special notice must be given to Working Man's Zydeco, The Gravedigger, Mardis Gras Jig, Voodoo Mens and Voodoo Dolls, and the undeniable Black Cat Bone. The closer, Big Head, vividly demonstrates the intelligence and heart of this group, and Meaux's exceptional song-writing ability. Definitely worth running down this one.

5 out of 5 stars Delectable blend of rock and blues seasoning with a definitely Cajun roux!.......2005-10-03

This is 21st century South Louisiana at its best! The Bluerunners have already established themselves as the masters of Cajun-Rock blend, and this album will only solidify that title.

      4 out of 5 stars wonderful showcase, worth reissueing.......2003-12-21

      In tracking down performances by David Lindley I discovered this fine assortment of slide players. Lindley starts this off with a wonderful original, "Attar", played beautifully on his Weisenborn Hawaiian guitar, the high point of the CD in my opinion. Mike Auldridge (on dobro) with Lowell George and David Bromberg (on electric and acoustic slides) keep it going with another fine instrumental tune. Of the 13 tracks that follow 8 have vocals, which while good mostly blues songs, seems to detract from the slide playing showcase. The 7 intrumental numbers all got my attention, especially the first 2 already mentioned and Steve Kimock's jazzy "It's Up to You", and Amos Garrett's "Sharks Ate My Wahine", a Hawaiian like tune played slide like without using a slide...

      Many of these players are new to me. The quality is consistently very good and the variety of styles interesting (from raw to slick, and wild to gentle). I love the slide with its fluid feeling, and how it allows for a wide range of expression, and am delighted to discover all these new voices. While this doesn't cover but half of what people do with their guitars, (today I'd expect to hear others included such as Harry Manx, Tony Furtado, Jerry Douglas and Derek Trucks), it does cover alot of ground. The liner notes are very helpful, and production quality is excellent. Overall a very nicely done job (4 and a half stars overall). Keep it up and keep it in print. Looking forward to vol. 3 someday....
