Editorial Reviews
Progression Magazine, Winter 1999.
"Super chops, super players, two CDs worth of live, in-your-face instrumental power rock fusion. Bobby, Neil and Bill take no prisoners as they blast through two killer sets of mostly original material...(musicians) interested in serious rock should not miss this one." (Fuse Magazine, Issue 4, (January)1999.)

"Hard-rockin' fusion doesn't get any tastier than this. These fifteen tracks have just the right balance of structure, melody and virtuosic showmanship to keep you enthralled from start to finish. Recommended."

Rockin' n Rollin' all Night!.......2007-07-16

If you're talkin' bout Rock n Roll, then definitely you're talkin' bout POISON; the best hair metal band and the sons of glam rock! This 20th anniversary collection shows the undeniable truth that POISON marks as an icon to the 80's rock n roll. But I find it dissapointing that the songs included were almost the same in their first Greatest Hits collection. In my opinion, they should'nt have included songs like Were an American Band, Rock n' Roll All Nite and Your Mama Dont Dance since they were released in a revival album called Poison'd. The new songs included like Shooting Star and Last Song were impressive however. All the rest were truly great POISON classics. Overall, this CD may be the best substitute to their Greatest Hits 86-96 collection.

THE WORST OF POISON!!!!!!!!!.......2007-05-13

I HATE POISON THE SONG I HATE THE MOST IS EVREY ROSE HAS A THORN IS THE MOST HORRIBLE SONG OF ALL TIME THE FIRST TIME I HEARD IT I THOUGHT OF THROWING UP THERE ONLY GOOD SONG IS NOTHIN BUT A GOOD TIME. ALL POISON IS IS A ONE HIT WONDER!!!!!MY ADVICE IS DON'T BUY THIS ALBUM!!!!!!!

The Best of Poison.......2007-04-04

This is a good copulation of their work. A recommended purchase for Poison fans.

I always liked this band, no matter how many other people hate it :).......2007-01-22

Poison is one of those 1980s bands that became "unfashionable" after the 1990s grunge craze, and is now looked upon with almost universal scorn. Reviled for their big hair, spandex clothing, and simple song structures, almost nobody even admits to liking them, but I still do! For one thing, who cares if 80s music is no longer hip and trendy? Time waits for nobody, and all music eventually becomes old. The grunge music that replaced hair metal is every bit as dated as hair metal itself is, and I don't see people bashing Nirvana or Soundgarden for being "90s has beens" do you? Nothing stays hip and trendy forever. And the other argument used against Poison is that their music isn't complicated or technically complex, it only has 3 chords, and doesn't require any talent to play. Has it ever occured to you hair metal bashers that there is more to music than lightning fast guitar solos that are so impossible that nobody can play them? Sometimes 3 chords is enough to make an impression on the listener, even if it isn't hard to play. In fact, virtually all rock stars s*ck at playing their instruments. You only need to look at all the Avril Lavigne, Green Day, U2, Nickelback and Nirvana songs that have ever hit #1 on the rock charts to realize that. Nobody thinks anything less of these people for playing 3 chords on their guitars, so why should it be any different for poison? I think this band has always been underrated.

Bobby Darin sold his songs without even trying--and that's no small feat !!!.......2007-06-24

Bobby Darin was a consummate entertainer who could reach out to his adoring audiences and lead them wherever he wanted them to go. He knew his life would be a short one because he had a bad heart; and every time he sang he poured so much genuine feeling and soul into his performance it touched people everywhere. This CD gives us a generous sampling of just some of Bobby's greatest hits recorded both live and in the studio; and every moment of this CD proves Bobby was more than a male singer--he was a force.

The CD track set begins with "Once In A Lifetime;" the drums at the beginning signal the beginning of a high energy number--and, sure enough, Bobby delivers this number with a faster than usual tempo. The power of Bobby's voice makes this the ultimate rendition of "Once In A Lifetime." The romantic ballad "More" follows; Bobby again speeds up the tempo along with musical arranger Richard Wess. The effect is an especially energetic rendition of "More." The lush musical arrangement works wonders, too.

One live number that stands out would have to be "Beyond The Sea" recorded in concert in Los Angeles in 1973. Bobby delivers this with passion and high octane energy; the audience enjoys every minute of it, too! You also get a live recording of "Mack The Knife" when Bobby performed at The Flamingo in Las Vegas in November, 1963. Bobby has a playful and very positive rapport with his audience even though these days one or two of his comments would be considered embarrassingly dated. The high quality control of the actual song "Mack The Knife," however, stuns me as Bobby Darin delivers this flawlessly.

"On The Street Where You Live" from My Fair Lady gets a much faster than usual tempo from arranger Richard Wess and Bobby; but I think you will enjoy this number very much. "Hello, Dolly!" gets the royal treatment from Bobby and the musicians; Bobby delivers this as if he feels genuinely thrilled to see his friend Dolly again after many years. The tempo of "Hello, Dolly!" eventually speeds up to the normal tempo; and the arrangement complements Bobby's vocals perfectly. Bobby's sensitive interpretation of "The Good Life" touched me greatly; and Bobby again sings "Moon River" with panache and sensitivity. Great!

"Call Me Irresponsible" shines brightly like a golden nugget; and "Softly, As I Leave You" glistens like gold! The backup chorus on "Softly, As I Leave You" enhances the beauty of this number. In addition, "Venice Blue" tells how a man is so sad that his love affair is over than even the entire city of Venice turns blue before his very eyes.

There is another live track in which Bobby performs a playful medley of four of his greatest earlier hits: "Splish Splash/Beyond The Sea/Artificial Flowers/Clementine." Finally, the last track on the CD is another live track recorded in November of 1963 when Bobby truly believed that this would be his last live concert. (He subsequently changed his mind.) "The Curtain Falls" doesn't merely explore Bobby's feelings as he ends this particular concert; it also makes the perfect ending to this album. As Bobby sings this ballad about the end of his concert career; we also recognize that there is another meaning: "The Curtain Falls" gives us the perfect ending to this album as well.

The liner notes include an informative essay about Bobby Darin and his career by Will Friedwald; and you get excellent photos of Bobby, too. The liner notes also provide the song credits and recording dates.

Bobby Darin remains a formidable force whose star still shines brightly long after his life ended. Bobby will always be a legend; and long after most "celebrities" are dead and buried we will still remember Bobby very fondly. I highly recommend this excellent CD for Bobby Darin fans; and people who enjoy classic pop vocals will cherish this one for ages to come.

Enjoy!

Extraordinary!.......2006-07-06

And extraordinary collection of Bobby Darin music. Featuring live recordings of Beyond The Sea, Mack The Knife, The Curtain Falls, Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher And Higher, and also an excellent, live medley of his hits Splish Splash, Beyond The Sea, Artifical Flowers, and Clementine.

For the price of $14.98 you get twenty-four, excellent versions of popular songs sung by Darin. If you want to look at the technicalities of pricing, your spending around 62 cents a song. You cannot do better than that, and every song is worth it. I highly recommend this CD.

Darin Had More Natural Ability Than Sinatra or Bennett.......2006-02-10

Bobby Darin could sing swing, blues, pop, rock, gospel, country & Western and folk. He had a delivery and stage presence second to none, and he could sell a tune---especially a jazz-swing tunr---far better than any other singer in popular music. A reviewer from Januray 29, 2005 seems to think Darin was "delegated to the second tier." I think he meant to write "relegated," but in either case, I think the fellow is more than a little mistaken. Darin is the only singer in the past sixty years to actually rival Sinatra as a swinging balladeer and was at least Frank's equal as a cabaret performer. The likes of Jonny Mercer, Henry Mancini, Sammy Davis Jr., and Wayne Newton have all held this very same opinion. Even in Bennett's peak years he was never as popular as Darin, and outside of Bennett's often grating human vibrato voice, Darin's talent was far greater than Bennett's. Bennett sells himself as a jazz singer, but when he tries to swing he sounds awkward and unexciting, like a nerd trying to be hip. Darin had syncopation, baby. He was cool, he didn't have to try to be cool. As for Mel Torme, whom I always liked and admired, to compare him with Darin is an travesty. Torme was not a belter, but a smooth-voiced crooner who sang jazz almost exclusively. Darin was a song stylist out of the belter, not crooner mold. Yet he could also sing standards with the best of them, with an impeccable sense of drama on ballads and an incomparable rythym on swing numbers. Bobby Darin's only shortfall was that he lived too short a life to have permanantly registered in many people's long-term memories. I pose this question to the fellow from Arlingon, Virgina: Could you picture Tony Bennett singing "If I Were A Carpenter?" Or Mel Torme singing "Dream Lover?" Or Sinatra siinging "You're the Reason I'm Living?" A folk ballad, rock ballad, and Country Blues....only a singer as versatile as Darin could have pulled off such a feat. Listen to his phrasing and breath control (despite his horrible heart condition) on his renditions of "Try To Remember" and "Once Upon A Time." Then listen to him swing and belt on "Artificial Flowers," "A Nightengale Sang in Berkeley Square," "Beyond the Sea," "Lazy River," etc. Darin had more vocal dexterity---not to mention charisma---than Tony Bennett ever had. So Bennett shattered glass---does loudness---of the most annoying type--- make a great singer? As for Sinatra, well, he was Sinatra. But a good argument can be made that after his Capital years his name was bigger than his talent. Many music critics have opined that he was an enormously overrated singer. That may not be too popular an opinion, but it has genuine merit. Not quite sure why people seem to relish demoting Bobby Darin's ability. Had you seen him perform live at the Copa or in Vegas, you would have long ago forgotten Tony Bennett and "relegated" Mel Torme to a nice, silky-voiced jazz specialist who, nevertheless, in no way compared with Bobby Darin.

Bobby Darin ROCKS!!.......2005-09-24

Being in my late 20's, I'm too young to have experienced Darin 1st hand and until recently was not very familiar with his body of work. I do partially credit Kevin Spacey for the introduction but it wasn't until months after I saw the movie that I was really itching to get my hands on a Darin album.

"Beyond the Sea" is one of my all time favorites and I thought it was really silly that I didn't have a single version of it in my music collection. Unlike a previous poster, I would rather hear a live version of a song over a studio version any day. That is to say as long as the singer can actually sing. I have literally played the version of "Beyond the Sea" on this album everyday for weeks. It's a song you want blast in your convertible with the top down. Sadly I do not own a convertible but am considering purchasing one solely for this purpose. :)

While I don't like all the songs on the album (I'm not a fan of folk or country), I would have paid $15 just for the 5 live tracks on the album

Swingin' Bobby Darin.......2005-07-05

Another compilation of Bobby Darin. Bobby Darin is one of the greatest artists in pop music. He started as a rock 'n' roll artist (Splih Splash, Dream Lover,...) and composer in late fifties of previous century than turned into swing music. He inspired a lot of singers, Brian Setzer (he recorded As Long As I'm Singin', A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square, Mack The Knife), Dion (to name just a few). And everything he did is great.
His first swing hit was Mack the Knife (from Threepeny opera, is here featured live) that became a number one hit. Beyond the Sea is one of my favourite swing songs and it is here featured live also. The orchestra that is backing him is really great and Bobby Darin is a wonderful singer.
On this record you will find mostly swing songs and some folk songs (If I Were a Carpenter, 18 Yellow Roses,...)that he recorded for Capitol.
Sound is rich and songs are great. A must for every swing fan.

This guy is great!!!.......2007-02-22

I have loved Bobby Rydell (my little Italian boy) since I was a teenager.
Met him in Ocean City, Md. in the late 50's at a Buddy Dean record hop & was impressed at how sweet he was. I've had a crush ever since! Would love to see him again & know what's happeing in his life (children,career,
etc.) This CD is wonderful & brought back a lot of good memories.

"Tremendous And Sad".......2007-02-02

This has to be the most tremendous collection of Boby Rydell music put out! Nothing is ever ever perfect and even though "The Fish"is not included, so be it. By the Way, "Butterfly Bay" was a hit of his I believe within the summer of 1963.

Now, what is sad and it has nothing to do with this CD. I believe that from about '61 into'63 his talents were developing at an enormous clip. During the summer of '63 he had a STARRING role with Ann Margaret, Dick Van Dyke, and Paul Lynde in the HUGE movie "Bye Bye Birdie" and within the movie he sang a very moving song, "One Boy" with Ann Margaret. This is one of the most beautiful duets that I've ever seen and heard. The movie was a huge success. He followed the movie up with a touching and very big hit record,"Forget Him". That,sadly, became his swan song. Many americans truly did, very ashamedly, did "Forget Him".I feel as though with the movie "Bye Bye Birdie" and the two touching songs, "One Boy" (With Ann Margaret within the movie) and and the big hit, "Forget Him", which followed the movie, he was on his way to super stardom in both the recording fields and that of motion pictures. That is until the Beatles SQUASHED him with their fluff. He had (has) more talent within his little finger than all four of The Beatles ever had. In fact, his talents outweighed all of the fluff of the British artists that suddenly began to flood our american airwaves including not only The Beatles, but The Dave Clark Five, The Rolling Stones, Gerry and the Pace Makers, Hermans Hermets, and even many of the american artists such as The Beach Boys, etc. I'm even including groups like "The Hollies", etc. as producers of fluff that crushed Bobby Rydell. It was so very unfair when he was being totally cut out when his total talent was becoming more and more evident and more than likely super stardom was on the horizon. He was crushed by fluff.

It's tremendous that the CD is available and it's sad what The Beatles and other "artists" plus what the american public did to him. Shameless.

Brings you back in time.......2007-01-11

Just listening to this cd makes me think of another, younger time in my
life (not that I'm that old). Real music nostalgia for those who grew up
in the 60's. This is a definitely a must have cd for fans of rock and roll
and just good listening music.

Nostalgic moments!.......2006-08-26

I remember seeing Bobby Rydell on stage back in the '50's at home in New Zealand. This CD has everything I need to enjoy that era!

EXCELLENT!!.......2006-08-08

WITH A VOICE LIKE BOBBY'S, IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE HE DIDN'T HAVE BIGGER HITS. THIS CD HAS AN EXCELLENT VARIETY OF STYLES. I RECOMMEND THIS CD TO ANYBODY WHO ENJOYS OLDIES.

The first time I saw this movie, I did not like it. But a couple of weeks went by and I thought back on the movie and decided to rent it again. I loved it the second time. The story line is very endearing and true to human form. The music of this story is perfect. Every song seems tobe strategically placed, which helps invoke the watcher's empathy for life's little down falls. I imeediately went out and bought the movie and the soundtrack. Both are a jem.

Amazon.com's Best of 2001

Though a well-publicized marriage did much to raise his celebrity profile, Guy "Mr. Madonna" Ritchie's claim as one of the world's most promising young filmmakers was already secure. Extending the gambit he began on Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, the English director's handpicked collection of pop songs for his jewel heist romp Snatch is a dizzying delight that eschews era and genre concerns in favor of flavorful character and loopy fun. Though his musical sense is one of the elements that have inspired Tarantino comparisons, Ritchie is clearly a league of one here. With a little fresh input from musical ally Klint, this anthology score ranges from the electro club mixes of Overseer and Mirwais to the vintage R&B workouts of Maceo Parker, Huey "Piano" Smith, and Bobby Byrd, with some pop kitsch of the 1970s (Johnston Brothers' "Hernando's Hideaway") and '80s (the missus's "Lucky Star") to keep the proceedings ever fresh and askew. Ritchie's pop choices are no less inspired, from Oasis and Massive Attack to the Specials' classic, "Ghost Town," and The Stranglers' own underrated jewel, "Golden Brown." --Jerry McCulley

Album Description

Written and directed by Guy Ritchie, who wrote and directed, 'Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels'. In the same vein as Trainspotting and Pulp Fiction, the soundtrack covers a spectrum of musical hipness that is essential to the tone ofthe film artists included are Massive Attack, Madonna, Mirwais, Oasis, The Stranglers and The Specials. Standard jewel case. 2000 release.

Bruce's Review.......2007-02-02

Some of the tracks were somewhat disturbing so I skipped them when I recorded this album from CD to cassette. Overall, the tracks were eclectic and energetic. Listening to them definitely reminded me of specific scenes from the movie, which I own on VHS format. Down with digital and up with analog!

Not typically a fan of soundtracks. This one is awesome! Great collection of songs with great choice of dialogue mixed in. Listen to this one all the way through.

I have watched this movie so many times, and it is still great. I love Guy Richie's creactivity. An all star cast mixed with a great plot and that sly under the door humor make all much better than your normal hit man comedy.

Great Music.......2006-02-25

I mainly bought this to get the Mirwais - Disco Science track, but the whole cd is good. If you love the movie, you'll definately enjoy the cd.

It works in so many circumstances!.......2006-01-16

What a great soundtrack! For me, the soundtrack is the make or break point in some movies. In Snatch, it just enhanced the coolness of the movie. Dennis Farina was magnificent, and the sound clips of him are great on the CD.
There are many highlights. "Supermoves" by Overseer is a very in your face, distorted techno track. Works great on an expressway of some sort.
"Cross the Tracks" by Maceo and the Macks is the best song on the CD, nuff said. Really funky groove, adequate vocals, great backup instruments.
"Disco Science" has a nice throbbing bass throughout, and it culminates with musical insanity. Great.
The instrumental "F*cking in the Bushes" by Oasis worked great in that fight scene.
"Lucky Star" by Madonna... whipped. JK. I guiltily enjoyed this.
"Don't you just know it", the last track, was a superb way to round out the soundtrack, and the whole movie for that matter.
What else can I say? BUY IT!!!

Album Description

In his all too short life, Bobby Darin accomplished more than most artists could ever dream. He was a teen idol, a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, an Academy Award-nominated actor, a Grammy Award-winner, a folk rock stylist and a Vegas showman -- and that only scratches the surface. The consummate American performer, his artistry is far beyond what mere words could describe. Aces Back To Back, the long awaited Bobby Darin collection on HYENA Records, paints the entire picture. Produced by Joel Dorn, in conjunction with Darin's manager Steve Blauner and Darin's official archivist Jimmy Scalia, the CD/DVD set is the most comprehensive collection of Bobby Darin rarities ever released, drawing from long lost concert performances, previously unreleased radio broadcasts, out of print studio sessions and vintage film and television footage. High points include performances from his 1970s television variety show on which Darin delivers definitive renditions of his biggest hits including "Mack The Knife," "Beyond The Sea" and "Dream." Also included, for first time ever commercial release, are the fabled "Milk Recordings" that are among the only known Darin jazz vocal performances. The folk rock gems from his retreat to Big Sur are yet another invaluable addition highlighted by "Jive" and "Long Time Movin'." The DVD component includes performances from the aforementioned '70s television show, but the feature is the never before seen black and white documentary film that Bobby Darin was directing about his own life. Narrated by George Burns, the poignant footage captures Darin in the studio, with his family, performing around the world and finally from his comeback performance at the Coconut Grove. Aces Back To Back encompasses the brilliance of one of the 20th century's greatest artists like no retrospective that's come before!

A golden nugget shining brightly !!!.......2007-07-09

Bobby Darin remains a titan in the entertainment industry. Despite the passing of time since his death, many people the world over enjoy his artistry on CDs. This CD/DVD set captures some of Darin's finest moments and gives us a rare chance to look behind the scenes at the man who was Bobby Darin.

The CD track set begins with "This Could Be The Start Of Something Big." This live track is an auspicious way to start the set--the first track truly IS the beginning of a BIG, wonderful CD/DVD set. Bobby sings with all his heart; and his warm, masculine voice is nothing short of a finely tuned instrument. Awesome! "This Could Be The Start Of Something Big" swings well; and the musical arrangement sports a Vegas flavor with great use of the horns, drums and percussion. Great! "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" gives us more of that Vegas feel while Bobby swings brightly without singing a superfluous note. Wow! The female backup chorus bolsters "Can't Take My Eyes Off You," too.

"A Quarter To Nine" shines like gold; Bobby sings with just the right mixture of sensitivity and electricity to produce a show-stopping number. Great use of the horns, too! "Alone Again Naturally" begins with Bobby performing the opening verse his own way before he goes into the ballad with an arrangement that more closely matches the original one by Gilbert O'Sullivan. "Beyond The Sea" gets the royal treatment from Bobby as he sings one of his signature songs; the audience loves every minute of it!

"Up A Lazy River" lets Bobby perform a slower paced ballad. Bobby takes this number and makes it his own by changing the tempo here and there. Awesome! When the audience joins in by clapping along with the beat of the melody you know Bobby has his fans in the palm of his hand! "Dream Lover" appears to be a studio take; Bobby sings this with all his heart and the light musical arrangement places Bobby's vocals squarely in the spotlight. "Moon River" has a few quick key changes in the guitar arrangement that make "Moon Rover" all the better as Bobby sings this very passionately.

"Mack The Knife" is a live track of another Bobby Darin signature song; and Bobby sings this with energy, passion and panache! The CD track set ends with "The Curtain Falls" which I believe was recorded in November 1963 at The Flamingo in Las Vegas. Excellent!

But there's so much more. The DVD gives us great color footage of Bobby performing on TV variety shows; the image quality is very good. We see Bobby performing huge numbers including "This Could Be The Start Of Something Big;" "Song Sung Blue;" "Beyond The Sea" and "Mack The Knife." Awesome! In addition, we get plenty of black and white footage rarely seen before by anyone. We see Bobby perform more songs; we get a mini interview with George Burns about Bobby and great candid footage of a Bobby Darin recording session. There's footage of Bobby performing at The Cocoanut Grove in 1966--and much more, too.

The CD/DVD set comes with a 23 page booklet that contains an essay by Joel Dorn about Bobby. There are great photos, touching stories about Bobby's kindness and quotes from famous people who were influenced by Bobby's work. You get the song credits and the artwork shows great forethought and good judgment.

Bobby Darin may have passed away but he lives on very realistically through his legacy. Bobby could do anything he put his mind to doing; and the songs he performs on this CD/DVD set prove that very amply. We are better off for Bobby Darin sharing his talents with us. I highly recommend this not just for Bobby Darin fans but also for fans of classic pop vocals.

Enjoy!

Aces back to back here--a terrific CD, plus a charming collection of live video cuts........2007-04-18

Anyone who loves Bobby Darin will treasure every moment of this two disc set--one DVD of video cuts, including some never before released black and white film, and one CD of twenty songs, including most of his biggest hits. The DVD reminds the viewer of just how young Bobby Darin was when he died. It is obvious that several of these video cuts--including "Song Sung Blue" and "All I Have to Do is Dream," done with Petula Clark--are from TV performances. Though most of the cuts look like Vegas, with lots of finger-popping, toe-tapping, and stage movement, the TV cuts are static--as Darin does not wander from close-up camera range.

The black and white footage, which was done three years later, after Darin's return from a self-imposed three-year absence from performing, includes two delightful stories told about Darin by George Burns, who first introduced him to Las Vegas, and also features Darin traveling en route to shows, with some casual shots of Sandra Dee and their young son. The sound quality of the music suffers a bit here, and Darin is often drowned by the orchestra as he rehearses, but the intimate charm of these cuts cannot be overestimated, and viewers will be thrilled to see Darin "live."

The CD contains many of his most famous songs, along with a few lesser known--"A Quarter to Nine," "Jive," "Rainin'," and "Long Time Movin'." The mixing is highly professional, Darin sounds like a more mature performer, and his arrangements are imaginative, with a wide range of instruments from bongos to flute. Many arrangements are virtually identical to those now associated with Frank Sinatra on the same songs (including the finger-popping), though Darin's raw honesty and real emotion shine in ways one does not usually associate with Sinatra. Darin's "Alone Again, Naturally," is powerfully moving in ways I hadn't remembered.

Though some Darin fans may be a little disappointed by the lack of detail in the liner notes regarding when and where these recordings and video cuts were made, every Darin fan will rejoice in the one-two punch of this CD and DVD. Pure delight, a great tribute album. n Mary Whipple

Bobby Darin at his best.......2007-03-17

Both the CD and DVD are brilliant, lots of unseen footage and Bobby Darin at his best, King of Swing, Great version of you're too good to be true and a quarter to 9, lovely duet with Petula Clark, If you are a Bobby Darin fan then this is a must have cd/dvd.

Aces Back to Back(Audio & DVD.......2007-02-02

Another great purchase for any fans, of the fiftys & sixties teen movies and romantic rock & roll teen idol's. This DVD & CD will take you back in time.

Simply Outstanding.......2006-09-01

If you like Bobby Darin , or even show singers , then I will do something I would normally not do - recommend !!
This album is simply brilliant . The arrangement is first class . Probably the best music arrangement I have heard. Darin is in good form , and if you only know the old favouites like Beyond the Sea and Mack the Knife , do yourself a favour and listen to his outstanding Quarter to Nine and Song Sung Blue - only second to Neil . And there are many more ! To finish , if you have heard a more moving and empathetic version of Alone Again , Naturally please tell me about it . A great CD.

SPRIRITIUAL MAN is great because it's so different from anything the guys have ever done.

TOTO WITH AN EDGE.......2007-06-26

Man, these guys are good! Everything from the songwriting, arrangements, production and musicianship is in top form. This CD has a great marriage of styles and still carries a strong and unified sound that doesn't veer off course into chaos - it's a very cohesive yet diverse album.

Really solid, and sounds great cranked up. Some cool special guest musicians make for a bonus treat also. Highly recommended.

Wow, what an awesome album!.......2007-06-14

I bought this album from emusic.com without recommendation- I listened to the first few bars of the title track and was immediately blown away. Dying On My Feet, King Of the World, and Taint Your World are also standout tracks. Tasty guitar work abounds.

it's OK.......2007-06-01

I guess after Mindfields I had other expectations. still, it is Steve and the gang, so it might grow on you after a while.

FIB is sublimly perfect .......2007-02-12

It blows me away how after 30 years as a band Toto manages to turn out arguably their finest work ever. Now, that's saying something considering the trail of outstanding albums like the jaw dropping "Kingdom of Desire" and the bands crowning jewel "Toto IV". But if Toto has remembered one thing after 30 years it's how to make a proper & decent album. "Falling In Between" is no exception to that rule. Every song on this CD is a joy.

Highlights are...
David Paich's "King Of The World" and "Spiritual Man" each with the classic Toto use of multiple lead vocalists.

Steve Lukather's "Bottom Of Your Soul". Joining Luke on this song is alumni Toto vocalist Joseph Williams sounding better then ever.

Greg Phillinganes's "Let It Go". This tune spotlights Greg as songwriter and vocalist. The addition (as "full band member") of studio ace Greg Phillinganes on keyboards and vocals was an obvious natural choice for Toto. Duh, like what took so long?

There are many other sweet pleasures and surprises throughout the album,
* sporadic use of members of the Chicago horn section
* a flute solo by Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson on "Hooked".
* Tom Scott's burning sax on "Spiritual Man" and the list goes on.

The most pleasant thing for me on this CD was how much Bobby Kimball has matured as a vocalist. Like a fine wine Bobby just gets better and better with age and every Toto release. He shines on "Hooked". He totals "Taint Your World" and kills on "No End In Sight". He sings everything on the album with a believable passion and incredible presence that my ears just love to hear.
I have to admit I was a little unsure about Bobby rejoining Toto but now I see that decision was right. Bobby's dedication and skill have made him one of the finest rock singers on the planet.

If I have one problem with Toto it's the perfection factor, and that in Toto there are no weak links, and that each member in Toto is among the top of his professional discipline. That becomes a problem because once we as listeners get used to hearing well packaged perfection like "Falling In Between" it spoils us, and all we can do from that point on is eagerly await the next Toto CD.

Over the 1952-82 time-span covered here, Bobby "Blue" Bland united tough-as-pavement blues singing with heartbroken Southern R&B, and helped to create chitlin-circuit soul as we know it now. Too raw for most oldies radio, Bland was a major presence in his time: 30 of these 50 songs hit the pop charts, and almost all of them were significant R&B hits. The first disc-and-a-half documents his long-running Duke Records collaboration (in Chicago, Texas, and Nashville) with trumpeter Joe Scott, who wrote ambitious arrangements that ran from tender love-man pop to howling, honking blues terrorism, but usually gave Bland a chance to emote harder than his microphone could handle. The remainder finds Little Boy Blue on his own in L.A. in the '70s, spicing up smoother blues-inflected soul (and even a stab at light disco, "It Ain't the Real Thing") with the famous squall in his voice. --Douglas Wolk

Talking about the blues.......2007-04-21

Yeah, this is what I mean when I say, "talking about the blues". This is it. Bobby Blue Bland is the man!!!! That roughness in his voice is it!!! Sit down, pull your shoes off, relax and listen to this!!!! You need no other!!!! My husband and I love it!!! We have all of Bobby's cds AND some tapes (we're from the "ole school").

Bobby Bland Anthology.......2007-02-24

How many artists have been covered by the Grateful Dead ("One More Saturday Night"), been sampled by Jay-Z ("Ain't No Love In the Heart of the City"), and played with B.B. King in concert? Just one: Bobby "Blue" Bland. Man, this guy is amazing. I religiously listen to the blues show on my local jazz radio station every weekend, but besides one live Albert Collins CD, some John Lee Hooker, and some Howlin' Wolf, I've almost never actually gone out and bought something I heard on that show. But when I heard Bobby's "Goin' Down Slow," I was transfixed. I had already arrived home in my Jeep, but I sat there through the five minute song, in awe, and I couldn't stop thinking how this was something that Dylan or Jerry Garcia would just LOVE (and that was before I knew that "One More Saturday Night" was actually a Bobby Bland cover!). Well, about half the stuff on this Anthology is equally good. Just listen to the sound sample for "Poverty," as well as the songs I've already mentioned. Check Bobby Bland out for yourself and you won't be disappointed.

The Blues Man.......2005-09-23

You can't think about downhome blues without thinking about Bobby Bland. Even though he has a more sophisticated style of singing the blues, his singing will put you in a bluesy mood.

WONDERFUL!.......2005-08-16

This cd is the best option for avid Bobby Bland fans. It has every song that you might possibly want and some you may have forgotten. For the price, its optimum.

All that you need........2004-05-11

Bobby "Blue" Bland will give you all you need on this double cd. The obvious point being that Bland is one of the great blues/soul singers ever, but also, he always has great bands: Jabbo,(who also appears on many James Bown hits), the drummer on 'Lovelight', and others tracks, is probably the most amazing drummer to come out of the blues and soul field.

Ideal for a Complete Set of Memory Triggers.......2007-07-04

The first record album I ever bought was a Bobby Vee album. I had heard that this young man sounded much like the recently deceased Buddy Holly and I was curious to check it out for myself. One play of the album and I was an avid fan of Bobby's. I even had to admit that, although there were similarities, he was a song stylist in his own right, and I quickly became an addict. His music captured many of the feelings that we all felt as teens during that time. I have never admitted this before, but this is he only recording artist that prompted me to stand at a mirror and lip-sync every song until I felt a kinship to Bobby Vee. Now, decades later, this collection has renewed that kinship and the distant memories of a very special time.

Incredible.......2007-02-22

There are many songs in this collection that I never heard before. I'm so happy I ordered this. We saw Bobby in person a couple of years ago & he is still wonderful. It's been great listening to this collection. Still believe the "oldies" are the best!!!

Just as the title says..........2007-02-17

Anyone familiar with top-40 radio in the 60's knows Bobby Vee and could name several tunes of his that made it into the top 10. During his decade-long run of charting songs, he had a very impressive 38 of those make it into the top 100. So here is no flash-in-the-pan artist. The CD reissue market is loaded with Vee's albums on CD, two-fers and a myriad of compilation CD's, running the gamut from excellent to lets-make-a-buck cheapos-on-the-fly. So why do we care that there is yet another Bobby Vee compilation CD? For several reasons, actually. First, with all the CD's out there, this is the first time EVERY top-100 charting single of Vee's becomes available. While that may not be of interest to casual listeners satified with the familiar stuff, this piece does fill a long-standing void in Vee's recordings on CD. As an aside, of all the distilled-down compilations, the EMI Legends of Rock 'n' Roll single collection is the best of the lot. While not being, or pretending to be, a comprehensive collection of Vee's recordings, this piece does live up to its promise of a "singles" collection, at least as far as those that charted along with their b-sides are concerned. And for good measure, Italian-language versions of a few of his hits are included. The sixteen-page liner notes booklet contains an accounting of Vee's musical history along with a number of photos and record and album illustrations. And while the sound quality of the EMI Legends piece may have the edge, there are no apologies needed here. The majority of the tracks are in stereo, the exceptions being tracks 2,4,6,24 on disc one, 5,6,10-14,16,17,19-23,25,27 on disc 2 and 14,16,27-30 on disc 3. As a greatest hits package, this is the ultimate and well-done in every way.

A lot, but not all there.......2006-10-12

The Bobby Vee Singles Collection is supposedly complete. You get some of the frequently heard favorites: Rubber Ball, Everyday, Come Back When You Grow Up, to name a few. Then there are some of my less known personal favorites that I haven't heard in years: My Love Loves Me, Laurie, Baby Face. All in all, a very pleasing collection.

Amazon and at least one other seller lists 96 tracks. But there are actually only 95 spread out over the three discs: 33, 32, 30. Close examination shows that #76, Sunrise Highway, does not really exist as #11 on the third disc. And it is not on the printed back cover list that comes with the CD, although it is mentioned in the accompanying booklet.

As a final touch, the last four tracks are some of his hits sung in Italian. Nice to listen closely and make some comparisons, especially if you have at least a little understanding of the language.

The collection is not what you can call "complete" if you want everything of Bobby's that was released. There are cover songs from different albums that you can't get here. These were most famous by their original artists: Peggy Sue, Little Star, Lollipop, Do You Want To Dance, etc. So you would still have to supplement this set with something else.

But it's worth the price, regardless.

GREAT MUSIC, GREAT SOUND.......2006-12-21

Of course everybody's heard "Mack the Knife" and "Splish, Splash," but it's the other songs on this collection that stand out. Darin has a great voice and is able to adapt to many different genres of music. The remastering job on these tracks is excellent and the price is low. A great deal.
