Great album...but get Razor & Tie instead.......2007-03-13

If you are a fan of these great early Partridge Family albums, then you owe it to yourself to buy the 1993 Razor & Tie versions instead. Why? Razor & Tie did not tamper with the sound quality, as a result, Razor & Tie discs sound just like the records you remember. I made the mistake of buying the re-masters thinking they would sound even greater; NOT!

I've heard both versions using top of the line monitor speakers, and these Buddha discs have too much bass added for their own good. They also sound flat, because too much noise reduction was used, thus taking away the sparkle which sounded so good on the Razor & Tie versions. You can still find these Partridge Family albums on Razor & Tie right here on Amazon.

The Partridge Family albums on Razor & Tie were the debut album, Up To Date, Sound Magazine, Shopping Bag and The Christmas album.

I LOVE BUBBLEGUM!!!.......2006-06-26

This is my favorite Partridge Family album. I play it over and over again. Every song on it is so well crafted (even the ones without David Cassidy are wonderful too) that you can't help but singing. God, that sounds so damn corny, but what can I do? I can never get enough of bubblegum music (or baroque pop, as I like to call it). Singing My Song (with its great chorus), I Can Feel Your Heartbeat (with a fantastic rhythm guitar track), and the powerful Point Me in the Direction of Albequerque are highlights. I never really cared for the TV show, but I adore the music....

Still a star.......2006-02-25

I am gradually re-collecting all the Partridge Family albums, the sound is just as appealing as 30 years ago and David Cassidy's voice still makes me go weak at the knees. This is not one of the best albums but has a number of classic tracks and is a must for all fans.

So nice..........2006-02-08

I heard all these songs when they first came out from my sister's record player in the next room. Didn't think much of 'em.

Fast forward 30 years; I now have a master's degree in music. Something makes me buy this CD. And you know what? These are GREAT SONGS! (Of course, let's recognize that they were written by some of the top songwriters of the day, and sung and performed by top studio people, including the Love Generation.)

But it's a shame, in a way, that these songs don't reach a wider audience simply because people think that if it's a Partridge Family song, it's got to be stupid. No way. These are great examples of the songwriter's craft.

I adore Only a Moment Ago (a poignant story about the end of the 1960s); I'm on the Road (tremendous cruising tune); and To Be Lovers (an absolutely stunning background vocal arrangement). But the best for me is I Really Want to Know You; it has a sweet, sweet melody and performance, with some of the most romantic lyrics I've ever heard: "I want to look behind the mirror of your eyes... and see the secret world your words disguise... the birthplace of your sighs."

wish the songs were longer.......2005-12-22

I enjoyed Sound Magazine more, maybe because I owned it as a kid. I remember hearing many of these songs on the TV show and like the ones that are fast paced. My favorite is I Can Feel Your Heartbeat but I wish it were longer! Brand New Me, Bandala, and Somebody Wants to Love You are all good to dance to (or dust the furniture) and I go around with Singing My Song stuck in my head all day after hearing it. I don't like I Really Want to Know You, Only a Moment Ago and To Be Lovers; all seem sappy to me. I realize the show was supposed to sound like a family singing and didn't start out to be a vehicle for David Cassidy but when I hear a song without his voice I am picturing the family and thinking, now who is this supposed to be singing? The redhaired kid? It sounds like a small male chorus; must be the redhaired kid AND the little kid on the drums. The CD is too short, but still gets 4 stars as I enjoy the fast songs so much.

Trout Fishing in America has wide appeal.......2007-04-12

After hearing Trout Fishing in America at a concert in my home town, I decided to buy a CD for my husband and me and one for my 7-year-old granddaughter. When we got together, we played (her) "Big Trouble" and (our) "My Best Day". I don't know who enjoyed it more--the children, the parents, or the grandparents. My granddaughter was soon singing along with "When I Was a Dinosaur" and other favorites on the CD which is not surprising when you consider how many times she listened to it during the weekend. Ezra Idlet and Keith Grimwood are wonderful musicians, clever song-writers, and just all-around great entertainers. Here's to many more years of their audience-pleasing CD's and personal appearances.

Big Trouble is great.......2006-08-09

My favorite is still Family Party, but that's probably because I've had it for years--I bought it even before my son was born. We enjoy Big Trouble, we just have to listen to it more often to really get to know the songs. We especially like the title song--that poor kid, in such big trouble because the monsters have wrecked his house!

Great, Upbeat Music for the whole Family!.......2006-07-02

I used to work at a toy store and believe me we had to play some really bad music, but when this cd was on, the time just flew by. Now I listen to this music with my son. It is really upbeat and is something I would recommend when you need to pass the time like when you're in the car or cleaning up. The songs are creative, not the same old sing alongs you get on all the other kids' music cds.

this is so funny!.......2006-03-10

I HAVE THREE CHILDREN WHEN I PUT THIS CD ON WE LAUGH AND IT'S EVEN FUN FOR ADULTS! I THREW HER OUT THE WINDOW! MY SON WHO WE GOT THIS FOR HIS BIRTHDAY LOVED HEARING THIS ON HIS SCHOOL BUS!HE TOLD ME THAT HE WANTED THIS FOR HIS BIRTHDAY.WELL THANK GOODNESS AMAZON HAD IT AND FOR CHEAP! I NEVER KNEW THAT ORDERING COULD BE SO FUN AND FAST!

The Reason I rarely buy stupid popular character kids music.......2006-01-07

Popular fad kids music willl never be able to compare to the perfection that is Trout fishing in America. Fresh, funny, lively addictive music the whole family will want to listen to together.
I was introduced to Trout fisning in America long before I had kids. My husband had 2 CDs fromhis college days.
Every single son on this tape is memerable. YOu will find yourself singing, or trying to sing along in the case of Proper Cup of Coffee!
There are way too many laugh out loud lyrics, the music is contagious and makes you want to move.
Lastly Lullaby is actually a sweet beautiful piece.
NOt only are they fun songs but these 2 men have great voices!

Stevie Ray Vaughan died in a helicopter crash on August 27, 1990, just as the first single from this CD, the beautiful Motown/soul-inspired workout "Tick Tock," was about to climb the charts and make the blues-rock hero an international superstar. Thankfully, he was able to make this delightful and laid-back album with his brother. For Jimmie and Stevie Ray, it was a kind of spiritual reunion. Jimmie had followed Stevie down the path to sobriety. These New York City sessions were a spirited celebration intended to mark the beginning of their musical partnership. While some tunes sound like the result of mere jamming, "Telephone Song" is one of Stevie's best numbers: an elegant blues shout with screaming guitar breaks. And Jimmie's B-3 organ-like textures on steel guitar astound. --Ted Drozdowski

Customer Reviews:

Not Your Typical SRV .......2007-07-12

As a SRV fan, I was a bit disappointed with this CD, partly because I expected to hear a little more of his incendiary guitar playing and soulful vocals. While it's apparent the Vaughan Brothers are having fun collaborating on songs that range in style from Texas Swing, R&B, Country (and yes, even a little Funk), I can't help but feel that SRV underplayed in this one.

I did love the prophetic and beautiful "Tick-Tock" and the R&B-infused "Telephone Song," two songs that give you a glimpse of what might have been in SRV's musical future. In addition, Jimmie and Stevie's work on the instrumental D/FW (a hometown tribute) is exceptional and is a great "car tune."

While I don't regret purchasing this CD--the aforementioned songs are well worth the price of admission--I was a bit surprised by the corny voiceovers and sound effects sprinkled throughout. Nevertheless, if you love SRV and Jimmie, you will forgive them and add this to your collection.

Brothers Rock the House.......2007-05-26

It doesn't get any better than Jimmie & Stevie Ray Vaughn on the same cd. Both, Austin, Texas legends performing their unique brand of blues, rock music. A fine tribute to the Vaughn brothers. Excellent choice.

Duet CD A Sad But Pleasant End to Stevie's Career.......2007-04-06

It still hurts to listen to some music. Hurts because you know that the person that made it is gone, won't make any more music on this side of the veil, and definitely left too soon.

Stevie Ray Vaughan was just beginning to garner the widespread
acclaim that he so richly deserved before his death in a helicopter crash in 1990. Family Style was his last studio release before his death, and he probably would have been pleased that on his last release that he was joined by his brother Jimmie Ray, at the time lead guitarist for the Fabulous Thunderbirds.

From Hard To Be to Baboom/Mama Said, this is just a fun, whimsical record that allows the brothers to play and have fun without taking too much too seriously, except for Tick Tock, the only serious song on the record and a very good message song.

Family Style is a great CD and a poignant reminder of talent lost to us much too soon.

FAMILY STYLE - VAUGHAN BROTHERS.......2006-07-06

This is one of the last of Stevie Ray Vaughan's' albums. It is very fitting that he made it a family affair. This album is exceptional and would be a great addition to anyone's collection.

The Brothers At Their Best.......2004-05-09

Family Style is perhaps Stevie Ray Vaughan's last record before his tragic death in 1990. I love Family Style for so many reason's mainly due to Stevie Ray Vaughan who was expanding his guitar vocabulary further than he had the previous year. Jimmie Vaughan was also at the peek of his career both of the brothers were a good mix between texas blues. I think for the most part the musicians were all different it added a new flavor to Stevie Ray's style. My very favorite song is Long Way From Home, and Brothers. Family Style would reach 7 on the charts becoming Stevie Ray Vaughan's most succesful album. I personally think this is a must have album for any die hard fans of the guitar. Buy this!

Customer Reviews:

Jim Ford - an instant classic from a long time ago........2007-05-30

This is essential for any lover of late 60's, early 70's country-soul-funk. Amazingly, his album "Harlan County" has never received the attention it deserves. I heard of this through a friend. Nick Lowe confirms in the wonderful liner notes that Jim Ford was his biggest influence. As a huge Nick fan, it seems appropriate to dig into this stuff. The CD is in a great digipack form and includes an in-depth story and interview with Jim Ford by a guy from Sweden. So Jim is alive and well to appreciate this overdue collection.
The "Harlan County" record features a great band. It was recorded in 1969 and includes James Burton - he's played with Ricky Nelson, Elvis Presley, Gram Parsons, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Costello, Roy Orbison and tons others, Jim Keltner on the drums - who I've long adored as a drummer laying down possibly his best drum beats in 1969!! If you do a search on Keltner you'll see an incredible list or artists that he's played with and made their records better. Amazingly, not many Keltner discographies even mention this record! I've heard many Keltner performances - this is my favorite! Also features Dr. John on piano and keyboards. What's not to like with that band? Then the songs kick in. The title track is a classic romp through Jim's childhood in the coal mining hills of Kentucky. The rest of the album builds with slower tunes like "Changing Colors" which includes a lo-fi sound, but with string section and Jim singing wonderfully almost in a Glen Campbell style. Another classic is "Love On The Brain". Man, a great groove ala the Stones. Then it goes into overdrive with "Long Road Ahead", "Under Construction" and "Working My Way To L.A.". You won't hear three more soulful groovin', yet hard hittin' tunes in a row. Once again, I've never heard such impassioned drumming from Keltner! The album finishes up with a scathing take of "Spoonful" (the old Howlin' Wolf tune) and then Jim really lays out every bit of his vocal with "To Make My Life Beautiful". And that's just the "Harlan County" record. The rest of the tunes show more promise and get stuck in your head quite easily. "Big Mouth USA" is just classic country ala "Harper Valley PTA". "Ten Inches High" is a song I'd originally heard covered by Nick Lowe. Jim's version will give you chills. I'm not going song by song, but all of these rare tunes and outtakes ending with his first single "Hangin' From Your Lovin Tree" make this release ideal to any "real" lover of country-soul music! The interview and story with the CD are interesting. Sounds like a few breaks here or there - especially missing out on signing with Atlantic w/ Jerry Wexler (the classic producer of Willie Nelson etc.) hurt Jim's chances of making a great career. There may be more tapes out there with more tunes in hopes of unearthing for another lost Jim Ford collection.
This is the stuff of legends. But it's real - it's here. Pick it up. It's fantastic!

The Mysterious Jim Ford.......2007-05-13

Friend of Sly Stone and Bobby Womack, revered by Nick Lowe and co-writer of the Swamp Rock nugget 'Nikki Hokey" should be enough to establish Jim Ford as an artist of renown. Possibly because much of his legacy can be traced to only one LP "Harlan County' it's difficult to get a proper handle on Ford. Now with Bear Family's "Sounds Of Our Time " compilation which expands on the "Harlan County" album with fifteen extra tracks ( rare 45's, abandoned album projects and demos)it's quite easy to comprehend why Lowe has such an admiration for this mystifying man. In essence Ford comes from the Country side of the Soul or R&B equation but one with a singular lyrical premise. The bonus tracks reveal Ford as a singer/writer who belongs in the same neighbourhood as Dan Penn, Eddie Hinton and Joe South. Tracks such as "Go Through Sunday" and "She Turns My Radio On" suggest a backwoods Van Morrison whereas "Rising Sign" evokes the Voodoo Swamp Funk of a Dr John. Anyone with even a passing interest in Southern white R&B needs to hear this. Also the CD's liner notes are easily the most comprehensive ever written on Ford with much input from the man himself. An essential re-issue.

A brilliant lost songwriter found ... and a stunning reissue .......2007-04-25

This CD is a revelation on several counts. Bear Family not restores the out-of-print cult classic ``Harlan County'' album in its majestic entirety and adds 15 superb, rare singles and unreleased masters, it also solves the mystery of this eccentric talent. Liner notes writer and reissue producer L-P Anderson tells the story of embarking on a search into the remote Northern California coastal hinterlands and finding the long-lost Ford living in a trailer park. Ford not only tells his fascinating story of why he disappeared from the music scene after a promising career start in the late 60s/early 70s, he reveals that he has scores of tapes of unreleased material ... enough to ``fill several future CDs with amazing stuff.'' Just getting all of the extra cuts on this disc is revelatory enough, because the additional cuts stand up so well against the Harlan County disc. How can one not become enchanted by a title such as ``Happy Songs Sell Records, Sad Songs Sell Beer.'' ``Big Mouth USA,'' presented in slow and fast tempos, is a scathing ditty on small-town religious hypocrites. The album closes with a number that leaves you yearning for more: ``Hanging From Your Lovin' Tree.'' But there are no weak tracks among the rediscovered gems, and the Harlan County cuts have already been established as underground delights.

The notion that more could be coming is almost too incredible to believe. Ford was simply an amazing songwriter in a distinctly Southern funky vein, and those who worshiped his talents were people as diverse as Sly Stone and Nick Lowe. Aretha Franklin, Bobby Womack and the Temptations recorded his songs -- he wrote an entire album for the Temps -- and Ford says he also wrote the Bobbie Gentry hit ``Ode to Billie Joe'' during a time when he had a romantic fling with her. He reveals the unknown session players on the Harlan County album and they turn out to be some of the best session men in the history of the music business -- guitarist James Burton, drummer Jim Keltner and keyboardist Mac Renneback (Dr. John).

Now 65, Ford clearly is still an eccentric -- he loves restoring old Peugeots, for one -- but he seems happy that his music has been rediscovered. Hopefully, in future years, we will hear more of what made Jim Ford so special, but for now, this is a healthy slice of evidence. Such an important reissue. Anderson and Bear Family should be commended for such a fabulous, thorough job on this remarkable archival find. Nice to someone understands why it's worth searching the ends of the earth for great music. Essential for any comprehensive pop music collection.

Amazon.com

If you loved the hit TV show The Osbournes, you'll absolutely eat up this unorthodox soundtrack album, which sucks you right back into this 2002 version of The Beverly Hillbillies, with snippets of the best bons mots from the show—-and minus all those annoying bleeps! It's instantly clear that the Osbournes' taste in music is much better than their taste in furniture. But why be surprised, as Sharon Osbourne, wife and manager of the timeless metallurgist, has been the intelligence behind all the Ozzfests, one of the few moneymaking tour packages in recent memory. She has certainly done her homework once again, offering sensational tracks by snarling Chicago-based trio Chevelle and the equally heavy Dillusion Mirror Image (clear inheritors of Ozzy's thorny crown). There is also a rousing cover of Black Sabbath's "Snowblind" by Armenian rockers System of a Down. This album isn't all about head banging; also included is a live track from third wave Britpoppers Starsailor, who'd be ostracized if they even came within spitting distance of the second stage at Ozzfest. And there's also Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight," a song Ozzy used to play while Sharon would get ready for a night out, and the Kinks' "You Really Got Me," a tune that turned the young Ozzmeister on to rock & roll. Ozzy also turns down the din on his own contributions with the John Lennon-esque "Dreamer" and the lush and revelatory power ballad "Mamma I'm Coming Home." He thankfully gets things moving with his signature thrash anthem "Crazy Train," which is also reprised by his former next-door neighbor, God Squad balladeer Pat Boone. The surprising standout is daughter Kelly's full-throated version of Madonna's recalcitrant 1986 hit "Papa Don't Preach." Thankfully the impish, fuchsia-tressed teen inherited her father's genes, belting out the rebellious hit with a subversive defiance and roguish edge. Produced by brother Jack and with Ozzfest alums Incubus playing on the track, this cut rocks much harder than the original. --Jaan Uhelszki

It has its moments . . . 'nuff said........2006-06-22

First off - where is the song "Paranoid?" I noticed other reviews indicating thatsong is absent from this CD.

We've got a few 70's gems here. The Eric Clapton and John Lennon tracks are must have's from that era. And "Drive", a ballad recorded by the CARS is one that anyone who grew in the 80's knows.

PAT BOONE'S version of "Crazy Train" is interesting - and the theme for "The Osbourne's" reality show as you know. If you've watched the show, you already know if you'd like that son or not.

In between all the songs are snippets from the show - in their uncensored form. This album is therefore not for children or sensitive listeners.

Ozzy's version of "Crazy Train" is the "new" version with the Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake rhythm section re-recorded. Ugh - go get the '95 release of Blizzard Of Ozz CD with the blue borders for that song.

This album is a novelty for fans of the Osbournes - and another cash grab for Ozzy and Sharon. Get it used for the Pat Boone song song - the rest of it is readily available on the web and other sources.

I love this album!!!.......2003-02-23

This album is so f*@%ing awesome as Ozzy might say!! I think thst this is one of the best albums I've picked up in long time!! It has great music and I love the uncensored dialog from the show between the songs, it's so funny!!! My Favorite songs are:
Pat Boone Crazy Train-I think his version of this song is outstanding!
Ozzy Osbourne Dreamer-I like this ballad he does I think he has a great voice on this song and I would have to agree that it sounds sort of like a John Lennon song, who the song is a tribute to!!
Kelly Osbourne Papa Don't Preach-I think this version of this song is much better than the original and she has a great voice too!!
The Kinks You Really Got Me-It's a classic what more can you say!!
John Lennon Imagine-I love this song by him, I think it's his best!!

The Cars Drive-Great song, love the melody!!

Eric clapton Wounderful Tonight-One his best songs!!

Ozzy Osbourne Mama, I'm Coming Home-Another great ballad by the Ozzman, love the melody alot in this one!!

Ozzy Osbourne Crazy Train-Of course who could forget the original version of this song by the master himself, his best song I think!!
Chevelle Family System-I think they added this because this song represents their family, but that's just my guess!!

I would highly recommend this for Osbourne fans everywhere you will enjoy it very much!!!

Paranoid???.......2002-10-05

Hey, my copy doesn't include Paranoid either. What the hell ?????

Commercial as heck, but has some novelty value.......2002-09-27

You wonder what the point of this CD is, first this, then Ozzy's BUDOKAN CD, is the guy just after more money? Don't get me wrong, I loved the show but what makes the "soundtrack" worth buying are the dialogue clips in between tracks. My favourite is Ozzy and Sharon discussing their experiences with viagra. I nearly wet myself laughing, my Mum thought it was sick; but then again, she would. Also hilarious is Ozzy going mental after his dogs urinate on his carpet. Most of the music is just filler, Pat Boone's version of CRAZY TRAIN is laughable, Ozzy's mediocre song DREAMER is included as is The Cars DRIVE which I don't like. However there is some good stuff: SOAD's awesome cover of Sabbath's SNOWBLIND as well as the obligatory Ozzy tracks MAMA I'M COMING HOME, and (of course) CRAZY TRAIN which is a vast improvement on Pat Boone's version. What next? Harry Connick Jr covering TOMORROW'S DREAM? God help us.

This album is awesome!.......2002-09-23

It doesn't matter if you hate the show, you'll still like this album! I love the show and bought the album the first day it was out and I love it. My friends who don't even like the show are loving this album! It's got a great variety of music ranging from Ozzy to Pat Boone, and Kelly to John Lennon. This CD has been in my stereo 24/7 and I absolutely love it. Definitely one of the best CDs I own, and by far the best soundtrack. I recommend this to everyone! :)

The Sexiest Soundtrack of 2003 and 2004!.......2006-07-30

Great score, for it has the French charm score in it. The score and the music makes you think of France and it makes you wonder how it is like (if you have never been there) and I haven't been to France, but this soundtrack boosted my idea of wanting to go to France. Richard Robbins made a clear and focused score that reflects Paris, France. This is great music to listen to if you're just strolling the cobblestone streets of a village and simply to just relax to. This is recommended!

I know where you can get the trailer music!!!!.......2003-11-28

Okay, I have a cd of French music and it has the song that they play in the trailer! I didn't know how to respond to the question so hopefully you'll find it here. The cd is from Williams-Sonoma and is called La Mer. Its track number nine titled C'est Magnifique. And if you liked this soundtrack it's probably worthwhile to buy this cd! Hope its still available and that this helped, oh, if not, the song is by L'Accordéoniste if that helps!

Please help..........2003-10-20

We simply must know the name and artist of the trailer's song which IS NOT included as part of the CD soundtrack. Please, Please... Anyone??

Excellent Blast From The Past.......2007-05-21

I never had problems identifying myself as an Archies fan, but the Partridge Family is a group I like better than I think I do. This album proved that point.

Favorites on this project included "Brand New Me", "Point Me In The Direction Of Albequerque", "I Can Feel Your Heartbeat", "Somebody Wants To Love You" (my favorite), and the hit "I Think I Love You."

Great album and beautiful mastering from Razor & Tie .......2007-03-14

If you are a fan of those great early Partridge Family albums, then you owe it to yourself to get these, the 1993 Razor & Tie versions and not the recent re-masters of 2000 and 2003. Why? Razor & Tie did not tamper with the sound quality, as a result, Razor & Tie CD's sound like the records you remember. I made the mistake of buying the re-masters thinking they would sound even greater; NOT!

Partridge Family Classic.......2000-01-27

If I may quote from a Partridge Family episode I still remember from when it first aired:

Keith had become infatuated with a classical composer who criticized the Partridges tunes as "so simplistic!" In the final moments of the episode, as the family plays one of their boppier numbers, the composer's teacher and mentor breaks it down for her; "My dear, nothing needs more justification than making people happy."

This is the first and greatest of all their albums and is sweet.

COMMERCIAL POP HEAVEN.......1999-12-09

Before the marketing honchos behind the Partridge Family TV show-concept "found" their sound with David Cassidy in front, this album was recorded as a sort of mish-mash of sounds -- and actually features in a few rare, audible moments, Shirley Jones' voice. But the overall effect is more than pleasant -- it is downright blissful. The songs are ALL melodic, and have the commercial appeal their creators were after. What is more, the singers -- mostly from a 60s group called LOVE GENERATION, are highly skilled backup singers, and create a much-copied style of "echo backups". A few of the many treats on this record are ON THE ROAD, a sweetly melancholy song that underscored a few bus trips on the TV show, and SINGING MY SONG, which is a short little snap of a number. Bubblegum at its absolute best.

Detractors Beware - Your Ignorance Is Showing!.......1999-11-27

Those who discount the impact of this record on the music scene of the day weren't there. Like most landmark events this album was controversial and divisive. But little of that (like the Monkees before) had very little to do with the music!

What is often lost in the scuffle is the fact that this album was the cornerstone for a sound and production team that was to go on and sell over 25 million records!

While cynics might us at this point of Frank Zappa's famous quote that Americans love entertainment and hate art, I would simply say - you're right - with the Partridge Family records you had both.

Wes Farrell and team produced an album that was technically superior to most of the muddy sounding albums of the day. Listen to the clarity of the legendary Joe Osbournes' bass lines. Listen to the drum strikes. Great stuff!

In addition, the instrument choices are intriguing (a HARPSICHORD on a pop album?) as are the arrangements 'happy' sounding songs written in minor keys?). How about those tight harmonies from the choir?

Granted, the lyrics are trite and silly. And the word that can be used to describe the decision to rise the pitch of David Cassidy's voice (to make the 19 year old kid sound younger) by speeding up the tapes is 'odd'.

But like cracks in the marble of a fine sculpture, these flaws merely enhance the beauty of the overall piece.

I am sure that for many this album was their first foray into music. This was the very first album that I purchased with my own money and though my taste has deepened and grown into virtually every genre from hard rock to opera I still find this album remarkably pleasing on a number of levels.

I am very happy that it has been digitally remastered and reissued on CD.

However, I have to say, some bonus tracks and appended liner notes sure would have been nice....

Just Plain Beautiful Joyous Music.......2004-07-05

Hard to believe there was ever a time that I thought 'Cajun' was exotic. Now I see it as 'Americana', with a slight twist. If you're already familiar with Cajun music then this is a must-add for your collection. If not then this is a great place to start. Marc and Ann Savoy have been making beautiful music for many years now, and with the addition of the rest of their family they not only continue but broaden their musical tradition. This CD is so much fun. I had the pleasure of seeing them perform this last weekend at 'Fitzgeralds' and what a show! It's always nice to see people waltzing but there was some serious footstompin' when the Savoy Family revved things up. Marc and Ann don't let it it get too out of hand but their sons, Joel and Wilson, really kinda kicked out the jams. See them live if you get the chance. The slower songs are achingly pretty(so is Ann!) and the faster dance numbers build up like a runaway train. Whew!
This is a fabulous CD!

Album Description

Evelyn Ryan (Julianne Moore) is a devoted housewife and mother of ten in the 1950s. Her husband (Woody Harrelson) can't seem to make ends meet, but that doesn't stop the car from breaking down, the mortgage coming due and the bills from piling up. It falls to Evelyn to defy the conventions of the day and find a way to keep her family together with the odds stacked against them. Applying her remarkable resourcefulness and an uncommon wit, Evelyn finds her own way in the profitable jingle contests popular in the 1950s and'60s.

Composer John Frizzell adds his own sophisticated sound to the compositions and brings on two great musicians - Sara and Sean Watkins - to play fiddle and guitar. The Soundtrack includes recordings by The Ames Brothers, Les Paul & Mary Ford, Dee Carstensen, Kay Starr and new recordings by k.d. lang "I'm Sitting on top of the World" and the film's Woody Harrelson.

Good, but not great.......2003-06-01

I was looking for a Stephen Foster CD that was not "jazzed up" and maintained the closest fidelity to the old-time recordings. This CD did not disappoint. Most of the renditions of the lesser-known Foster classics are excellent. "Old Black Joe" is particularly moving.

My only problem is with the two old standards: Camptown Races and Oh! Susanna. I get the impression that the vocalist was trying to put his own "stamp" on these two very familiar tunes by accenting odd syllables or using strange intonations. At any rate, they ended up sounding cheesy so that my family members ended up making fun of the idiosyncracies introduced by the singer rather than singing along with the familiar words and melody. Oh! well...

Gem of an Album.......2002-12-26

I have thoroughly enjoyed discovering the full scope of Foster's musical genius through this biography and album of popular Foster songs, choral gems, piano delights, and chamber music arrangements. Douglas Jimerson and Sheryl Cohen have the ideal voices for Foster's beautiful parlor songs.
