For six guys from Melbourne, Australia, to travel half the world to record their second record indicates titanic success for their first. And that's what led the jazzed-up, funked-out popsters Cat Empire to a studio in Havana, Cuba, to follow up that million-selling debut. Here, the band takes its Latin leanings a step farther, creating room for what is billed as the Empire Horns--trombone, trumpet, and sax--in its driving, thriving beat. Lead vocalist Felix Riebl's witty intellect and dripping Aussie twang are the Cat's most distinguishing merits (see the Bob Marley love-fest of a title track and the first line of the offbeat "Sly": "If frizzy hair was a metaphor for festival time/Then this woman is a goddess of that festival shrine"). Yet compatriot Harry James Angus demands equal billing here, with contributions like the ska rave "Saltwater," the punkish memoir "The Car Song," and "Protons, Neutrons, Electrons"--an uproarious showtune of a song complete with delightful piano break and "zip-a-dee-doo" chorus. Still, co-stars aside, this is a complementary sextet that's seemingly comfortable with nearly any style of music--and willing to circle the globe to prove it. --Scott Holter

Album Description

The Cat Empire's Two Shoes -- their second consecutive double platinum LP in their native Australia -- brings Australia's most dynamic musical export to the the US. Live music fans (and anyone at Bonnaroo this year) may already have had the opportunity to catch one of the band's legendary shows -- but until now recorded material was as hard to find as Vegemite. Looking for inspiration beyond the beaches of Melbourne, TCE journeyed to Havana, Cuba to record Two Shoes with producer/engineer Jerry Boys (R.E.M., Rolling Stones) in the studio where the Ry Cooder's Buena Vista Social Club LP was recorded. The result was a record that captures all the energy of a live band at its peak, but also sacrifices nothing in the way of songcraft. Compared to everything from Cake to Madness to Sublime, The Cat Empire's genre-bending is a trademark of the music scene in Melbourne. The band was founded in 1999 by vocalist/percussionist Felix Riebl and bassist Ryan Monro and quickly built up a massive following down under with its incendiary live shows, leading within two years to two double platinum releases on Virgin/EMI. Fueled by the internet word-of-mouth, the band has already sold out venues from Irving Plaza to the Troubadour. The band will headline an 11 date US tour in support of this LP at 500 -1000 cap venues.

3 out of 5 stars fun brass sounds.......2007-06-27

I enjoy the CD, but not as much as I thought I might based on the first song from it (the only one that got radio airplay around here). That one is very funky and a lot of fun. I often get tired of the Cd and switch to another style of music half-way through the recording. But it is fun, and provides some interesting combinations of styles.

5 out of 5 stars Refreshing and fun.......2007-06-04

I got hooked on The Cat Empire several years ago while in Australia. They're something different than what you would usually hear here in America. Their music is fun and exciting and you'll find yourself dancing and singing along in no time! I'm going to see them in concert at The Roxy in Atlanta in June and can't wait!

5 out of 5 stars Protons, Neutrons, and electrifying sounds!.......2007-06-04

Only 18 reviews, are you kidding me? This band is the best new thing I've heard in a long time, and that's saying something.

I bought the Two Shoes album right here on Amazon a couple of months ago in search of some new and exciting sounds. Actually it was in the recommendations pile. After one sample of it I knew it was something I had to have. These guys are just so damn good and nobody knows about them. How can this be? A huge hit in their native Australia, they appeared on The David Letterman Show some time ago and have since toured in the U.S. I would love to hear these guys in concert, but until then I'll just listen to Two Shoes for the 35th time.

Where do I begin? The album explodes with the first track "Sly" as sung by co-lead singer Felix Rheble. A good beginning, but its followed up by "In My Pocket" which is better. Rheble shares lead vocal duties with the flamboyant voice of Harry James Angus, who can do no wrong when it comes to music. I can't definitely say which songs are better than others because this whole thing is a hit, but along with track 2, my other favorites are "The Car Song", "Two Shoes", and "Protons, Neutrons and Electrons" which is sure to bring a smile to your face. "The Car Song" stands out in particular as probably the most fun track I've ever heard. You just have to hear it. Listen to it at the beach, or turn it up loud on your stereo and let the good times roll.

What makes this album so unique is the Australian accents paired with pure Havana Flare and back up brass. These guys obviously belong in the big time, and yet they still retain that blind eagerness and confidence of a high school garage band. If you've ever heard anything like it please tell me because I can't get enough of it. As for their next album I have no idea but I'm sure it will be excellent like this. Keep me posted. In the mean time, party in Havana style!

5 out of 5 stars Love the originality.......2007-05-28

I seen The Cat Empire on David Letterman. I liked the song they sang, Sly, so I bought the CD.
Their style is original, you can actually dance to it. It's a little jazzy, and a little big band era, some comedy, and much more.
They have one other CD and I will be getting that one.

5 out of 5 stars An amazing mix of many influences.......2007-05-15

This is an amazing album that mixes the best of ska, latin, jazz and rock for an album that you can't help but dance to. I'm in a bit of a unique position because I have small children but music tastes that are often inappropriate for them, this is an album that, for the most part, is fun for the whole family. A perfect album for summer fun and windows down drives in the car.

5 out of 5 stars Blue Suede Shoes.......2007-07-03

Blue Suede Shoes: A Rockabilly Session showing Carl Perkins as the king of his game and the guests who appear on this session. Carl was a professional who could and did deliver the goods. He pulls an outstanding performance out of Ringo & George showing a lot of 1950's influence. The quality of this session is unbelieveable and continuity makes the whole program flow smoothly and time just flies. Highly recommend this CD.

5 out of 5 stars George, Eric and Ringo go to school........2007-04-12

Great soundtrack to the 80's era cable special. Carl shows the boys a few tricks in a fantastic jam session. Don't pass this up.

5 out of 5 stars Needs To Be On DVD!.......2007-04-03

I have this on VHS and now on CD, but it needs to be on DVD. Classic show, classic line-up, and the first time 2 Beatles performing together (and the last until Concert For George) since Bangladesh. When Carl breaks up at the end telling everyone how much he appreciated all of his friends it will bring a lump to the throat of any fan of his or of "roots" rock & roll. Seldom does one get to play with people of that calibre and the love they obviously have for the songs is eclipsed by the love they had for Carl himself, a class act all his life.

5 out of 5 stars Rockabilly lives !!!!.......2007-03-17

Great rockabilly with one of the forgotten founders. If you love the Elvis Sun Sessions, this is right up your alley. Perkins impresses as a guitarist also, but it is Claptons solo's that make you go ooHH !!!!

5 out of 5 stars Blue Suede Shoes: A Rockabilly Session.......2007-03-10

Having seen this session on tv, it's wonderful to relive the moment through cd. Even if you're not a rabid George Harrison fan, as I am, I think you'll still find it a great listening experience with Eric Clapton and Ringo Starr and the old guy himself, Carl Perkins, who gave us so many memorable tunes. They're not dead yet as long as we have their music to listen to.

A megahit with young country fans, Kenny Chesney may seem like an accidental star, but he's succeeded largely by understanding what his following wants to hear. No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems taps directly into the squiggly vein that runs between adolescence and adulthood, when responsibilities call and Jimmy Buffett dreams beckon. As much a celebration of life as of youth itself, the album succeeds best when Chesney turns wistful and thought-provoking ("A Lot of Things Different," "Good Stuff") and makes firm decisions about what really matters in life. Sentimentality reigns supreme--you can already imagine a sea of flickering cigarette lighters when he does this material live--but as "Big Star," a song about a girl who wants to be just that, spells out, No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems is a solid affirmation to go for what you want in this silly ol' world. Chesney certainly has, and if this short, bald guy from tinytown, Tennessee, can catch a rainbow, the rest of us ought to take heart. --Alanna Nash

4 out of 5 stars Great Album.......2007-06-08

Already had this album from Oz, but was scratched. Love the album and wish I could see kenny live.

5 out of 5 stars A Great Collection of Memories, Dreams, and Thoughts.......2007-01-28

Here is another wonderful release from the boy from Tennessee which offers more of his heartfelt melodies and stories of deep thoughts. As with his earlier albums, this one contains Kenny's clear and sincere vocals and a contemporary, yet unmistakably country taste to these songs. In contrast to his earlier albums, this one explores a new territory, the tropical island sound and/or lyrics in some of the selections here. All of the tracks consist of lyrics that many people can relate to on a personal basis because they have experienced or are experiencing these same thoughts or feelings.

The album starts out with the hit song "Young", a mid-tempo, neo country track that reflects on one's youth, with the activities, attitudes, behavior, and relationships that marked those days. This is sung from an adult point of view, on how he notes how fast the time has gone by, and how he wished he was older (when he was a kid), but now wishes those days weren't over (now that he's grown). The next track, a soft, low key, moderately paced "I Remember" tells of the guy thinking about a girl he used to have a relationship with, but he wants to forget about her. "A Lot Of Things Different" is soft and mild, and another hit song; it deals with past regrets, mostly about things he should have done but didn't, and he would do things differently if he had the chance to. Note that he speaks about the mistakes in a talking voice and sings the rest of the line. Next is the hit song "The Good Stuff", a story of a guy who had a fight with his wife so he goes to the bar, and ends up listening to the bartender telling about his late wife, and the grandkids, and the good times he had; so he has a change of heart. The hit "Big Star" is a high-energy, moderately fast-paced story song about a female who dreams of being a musical superstar, and experiences the life of a celebrity.

Next is "On the Coast of Somewhere Beautiful", a soft piece in which the guy thinks about a girl, imagining that she is on the beautiful beach, and he wishes he could be there with her. "Never Gonna Feel That Way Again" is moderately fast-paced, and discusses the past phases of his life: childhood, the teenage years, and as a father playing ball with his young son; and how he will never return to those times again. Then come "Dreams", a soft, slow song with acoustic piano in the background, in which a woman dreams of having a man in her life (again) and that he will stay with her. The title track "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems" is a popular hit song with a tropical style; marked by light-hearted rhythms, strumming guitars, violin, sliding steel guitar, and xylophone. It tells of a busy guy who would like to visit the island where the rules are relaxed and the mood is a laid-back one, and the setting is like a tropical vacation.

Kenny wanders into the rock 'n' roll sound with "Live Those Songs" with a rock guitar strumming in the background of high energy. This is the story of a working guy who wishes he could return to the early 70s and the beach, girls, and music of those times. "One Step Up" is the remake of the Bruce Springsteen hit, a fairly gentle piece about dealing with the frustrations of having setbacks while working toward goals. The final track "I Can't Go There" is a soft and slow ballad, with an acoustic piano in the background. This is a story of a guy who can't visit any places because they all remind him of a girl he used to go out with; almost as if her memory follows him wherever he goes.

Overall, these dozen tracks provide some variety in Kenny's style of performing and singing. This album helped bump up his thriving musical career and push him into superstardom. Although the five hits from this package are great, the listener must hear all twelve tracks to appreciate the versatility contained here. This album deserves 5 and 1/2 stars on a scale of 1 to 5; or 11 stars on a scale of 1 to 10.

5 out of 5 stars No Shoes is a great album.......2006-11-10

No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems is a great album. Along with the title song this album includes Kenny's hits The Good Stuff and Young. The bonus track, I Can't Go There is my favorite song on the album. I never listen to that song just once. I always rewind it and listen to it again and again. This album is a must for true Kenny fans.

5 out of 5 stars This one is GRRREAT!! Some of his best work yet!!.......2006-11-04

You will enjoy this one some of his best work yet!!

Based on Hans Christian Andersen's tale The Princess and the Pea, Once Upon a Mattress opened in May 1959 and was a solid success, if not a huge blockbuster. It did well enough, in any case, to warrant a 1997 revival starring Sarah Jessica Parker. The show was far from revolutionary, but it provided a really fun vehicle for a cast of top stage personalities, including black actress Jane White, who played Queen Aggravain (a part originally written for comedienne Nancy Walker) in whiteface. But of course, Once Upon a Mattress's heart and soul was Carol Burnett, who, in her Broadway debut created the part of Princess Winnifred and delivered two of Mary Rodgers's best songs, the hilarious "Shy" and the spunky "Happily Ever After," which sounds a bit like Jule Styne at his most rhythmic. Burnett's timing and performance remain as sharp as they were 40 years ago. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

5 out of 5 stars "Mattress" CD was excellent.......2007-01-09

I've really enjoyed this CD. I only wish the play was available on DVD.

5 out of 5 stars an oldie but a goodie.......2006-03-15

Loved Carol Burnett then and love her now. This original cast CD is a lovely trip down memory lane.

5 out of 5 stars Nothing like the original -- .......2006-01-30

No offense to any of the subsequent "Freds" but Carol Burnett OWNS this role. The recording is as fresh and funny as anything being done today and this is the version musical theatre fans should have in their library. Get it.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome.......2006-01-22

My school did this musical last year (Spring 2005) and I had never heard of it before, so I bought both the Revial and the Original Cast Recordings. Fell in love. I was Sir Harry and loved both songs that I sang in. In my opinion, those are the two best songs in the entire musical, but then again, I'm biased.

Once Upon A Mattress OCR is by far the best out there. Don't get me wrong, the Revival Cast did a wonderful job (soundtrack at least) But There is something about Carol Burnett. She was meant to sing be Fred. But one thing that I didn't like is that "The Minstrel, the Jester & I" wasn't in this recording. But that is really the only problem I had with this.

My fav songs include:
In a Little While (because I sang it)
Yesterday I Loved You (again, I sang it)
Many Moons Ago
Shy

Would I recomend this CD? YES I WOULD!! I would shout it from the rooftops that people should by this CD! It's a funny, quaint little musical that people need to know about. I LOVE IT!

5 out of 5 stars I saw the original on Broadway.......2005-12-19

Once Upon a Mattress was one of the first Broadway shows that I ever saw and I was totally mesmorized and laughed so hard that my side hurt. Carol Burnett was the perfect person to play Fred and it was one of those magical performances that stays with you for a lifetime. The original cast album captures the fun and spirit of the show.

Later during the run of the show a friend of mine joined the chorus and when we talked about the experience, he told me that the joy that was on stage was similar to that felt by the cast and that was apparent on the album. They especially liked working with Ms. Burnett as she was a giving and caring actress.

I recommend this album to anyone who wants to spend some time just feeling good.

    i was already a fan of lori mckenna when i saw her on oprah with faith hill. personally, i think lori's version (the original) of the song 'fireflies' is waaaay better than faith's rendition. i also like lori's voice better - sorry to any faith fans! mckenna's voice has a folksy, fluttering sound that draws you in - her voice catches and your heart feels that ole pull. her songs are so breathtakingly real and down-to-earth, yet they are lyrical and poetic at the same time.

    beautiful work!

    3 out of 5 stars Muffled.......2005-10-05

    I just learned of Lori McKenna from the Oprah show with Faith Hill. I typed in her name in "keyword" and was amazed that she was so popular and had made several albums!
    From reading about her, she is an amazing person and I really wanted to own all of her albums, but I can barely understand what she is saying, however, I still plan to buy at least one just because I can relate to her depth, her sincerity, her
    honesty, her perception of life.
    I regret saying this, but I hope someone down the line continues to make her songs (like Faith Hill did) so that we can fully understand and appreciate them. Lori is a wonderful person, so
    this, in no way, is meant to be offensive.
    I just can't make out much of what she is saying.

    5 out of 5 stars Love it!.......2004-05-01

    I love the music on this CD. I find myself playing it over and over. If I have my MP3 player on random, I always stop to listen (and sing) whenever one of these songs comes on. I first heard her on NPR, and I have loved every song from her I've heard. Her voice takes some getting used to, but the songs grow on you the more you hear them. Paper Wings and Halo and Would you Love Me Then are two of my favorites.

    Amazon.com essential recording

    Sailin' Shoes demonstrates just how briskly Little Feat was developing in their early 1970s formative years. A pronounced step up from the Southern California quartet's critically praised 1971 debut, it's not as fully realized as the Feat's 1973 zenith, Dixie Chicken. But it's not far behind, and that's saying something. The final recording made by the original quartet (the band swelled to six members after founding bassist and Mothers of Invention alumni Roy Estrada split), Little Feat circa 1972 is a lean, energetic outfit. "Cold, Cold, Cold," "Tripe Face Boogie," "Apolitical Blues," and "Teenage Nervous Breakdown" are blunter rockers than what would follow. Lowell George's title track and Bill Payne's "Got No Shadow" and "Cat Fever," meanwhile, presage the more limber direction the group was headed. --Steven Stolder

    5 out of 5 stars Feat were a Force Majeur.......2007-04-12

    For those who aren't exposed to this band -

    They were the most complete rock and roll band I know. The subtleties (sp) of phrasing and layers of harmony that seldom ran in a congruent, typical form is what impresses me. 6 musicians loosely playing in six different directions around a common theme is what you will hear in their best efforts. They were tight as a nun's privates. Live was as impressive as the studio - only more freeform. They shared a common musical brain.

    Torque your parametric equalizer in any direction and you will hear the individual work. Layered = beauty.

    They were the Bomb Diggity.

    Elton John called them the Greatest Rock Band - I agree.

    5 out of 5 stars I GOT CAT FEEEE-VER!.......2006-05-05

    One of the best albums ever by one of the most underrated, underappreciated and unheard of bands of all time. Great songwriting, musicianship, vocals etc. A great guitar album as well. Lowell George was one of the greatest slide guitarists around. People often like to classify Little Feat as southern rock but don't be fooled- their styles are wide ranged- from New Orleans blues, R&B, & Stones style R&R.

    5 out of 5 stars Sweet memories...........2005-05-01

    I couldn't even hope to improve on the excellent comments that precede - but wanted to add a quick note of a recent discovery. For those who loved & miss Br'r George & crew, take a listen at a group called 'NRBQ'....I think they're about the closest thing to the original 'Dixie Chickenz' that's come down the pike since Lowell's departure. A li'l different seasonings, but the stylings are there. Hope y'all like 'em too!

    5 out of 5 stars Hands down, their best album........2005-02-10

    A fun album to listen to for sure. The version of "Willin" here is much better than the one on the first album. "Trouble," "Got No Shadow," and "Apolitical Blues" are equally great, and there are several more standouts. There's no comparison between their later music and this. The influence of Zappa's attitude is more evident here than anywhere else in Lowell George's music, even though it's country boogie rock. Truly original music and one of my favorites, period.

    5 out of 5 stars Kick Off Your Sailin' Shoes.......2005-01-10

    As a collection of songs, this might be Little Feat's strongest effort ever. Americana Rock in the general vein of Moby Grape, The Band or American-Beauty era Dead.

    While the songs are great, this record's secret weapon lies in the fact that you kind of slip into it's groove and before you know it, a collection of rather short songs becomes a groove album! This doesn't happen on most Little Feat albums due to their more mercurial nature in styles.

    The original version of the almost-standard "Willin'" is here too.

    Elvis Presley's music in the 1970s is often dismissed as the bombastic, half-hearted hack work of an overweight, pill-addicted, badly dressed has-been. In the liner notes to this five-CD set, Dave Marsh argues that Presley, in fact, created a more impressive body of work in the '70s than almost any other pop act. And the music on this massive anthology backs Marsh up. Stripping away all the garish live recordings and album filler, the package concentrates on a core of 120 songs--the A- and B-sides of every single Presley recorded in the '70s, 46 other studio tracks (including 13 previously unreleased performances), and 27 live tracks (including another 13 unreleased tracks)--that feature a still-magnificent singer collaborating with one of the funkiest bands of its time. This body of work certainly doesn't match Presley's breakthroughs in the '50s, nor does it equal the achievements of Al Green, Neil Young, and Van Morrison in the '70s, but it does stack up well against the work of Bob Dylan and the ex-Beatles in the same decade. Even in his laziest moments, Presley was a master of intonation and phrasing, delivering his rich baritone with a disarming naturalness. And when he caught a spark from his great T.C.B. Band (anchored by guitarist James Burton and drummer Ron Tutt), Presley could still out-sing anyone in American pop. You can hear it here on inspired versions of Tony Joe White's "Polk Salad Annie," Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right," Muddy Waters' "Got My Mojo Working," Wayne Carson's "Always on My Mind," Chuck Berry's "Promised Land," Paul McCartney's "Lady Madonna," Percy Mayfield's "Stranger in My Own Hometown," Dennis Linde's "Burning Love," and Joe South's "Walk a Mile in My Shoes." --Geoffrey Himes

    5 out of 5 stars How soon we forget..........2007-07-13

    Those who say that Elvis was no longer relavant, or "setting the tone" for music in the 70's have forgotten the most obvious fact. Elvis had already set the tone in the 50's, and all those who came after were products of that - like it or not. So they were only following Elvis' lead when you say Elvis was out of the loop. The boxed set is genius. Elvis voice is soulful, powerful, and comes with a huge whollop.

    5 out of 5 stars Elvis Is Back to LIfe!.......2006-11-10

    I was listening Elvis when I was a school boy and now after 30 years I listen Elvis as if he were back to life again and singing to us. I was encouraged by Elvis' songs and again they are encouraging me now in the 21st century!

    4 out of 5 stars Many strong performances.......2005-09-30

    Towards the end of his life, Elvis was showing signs of burnout and depression, even then, he could still rise to the occassion and belt out a great performance. This is the most comprehensive collection of his 1970's recordings available. It starts off with the classic "The Wonder Of You" and takes you right through all of the singles released before his pre-mature death, several great album cuts and alternate recordings, and a sample of his live show on the last CD. His outstanding performances on "Hurt" and "Moody Blue" show what he was capable of in the months before his death. Makes you think of what might have been...

    5 out of 5 stars The Kings Marvelous Last stand.......2005-07-13

    Well, This following the essential 50's and 60's, is a excellant representation of the Kings final decade, from tear jerker ballads, to country, to pure rock n roll, This time period is ofte underrated, but produced many great songs for the King.An Awsome live disc displays some killer tuens and great versions of classic songs, definatly a must!!
