Based on Nicholas Sparks' novel, director Nick Cassavetes film spins the bittersweet tale of a 60-year romance, as seen from the polar perspectives of its promising youth and the travails of an old age cursed by Alzheimer's. Its soundtrack effectively echoes those polar dramatic concerns, with composer Aaron Zigler's gentle orchestral score largely giving voice to the character's melancholy present, while a rich, well-chosen slate of vintage material by Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller imparts a restless energy to their youth. There's a certain schmaltz to much of Zigman's work here, yet cues like "House Blues/The Porch Dance.." and "Noah's Journey" argue he's achieved something more elusive than mere melodramatic wallpaper with the deceivingly difficult task at hand; it can't be easy to have your work seasoned with the likes of Ellington's sassy "Alabamy Home" and Goodman's still-vibrant "One O'Clock Jump." Sharply contrasting versions of "I'll Be Seeing You" by Holiday and Jimmy Durante bookend the soundtrack, perfectly evoking the story's alternating shades of hope and fading nostalgia and framing Zigman's understated work in the bargain. --Jerry McCulley

Album Description

Based on the best selling novel by Nicholas Sparks ("A Walk To Remember", "Message In A Bottle"), "The Notebook" is the story of Noah and Allie, teenage lovers torn apart by WWII and Allie's parents' demands to marry a respectable lawyer. After 14 years apart, they meet again and rekindle their true love. Starring Ryan Gosling, Rachel McAdams, James Garner, and Gena Rowlands. The soundtrack is a propelling force. In addition to classic WWII era pieces, Aaron Zigman's score suites enhance the record with beautifully dramatic themes. Score performed by the Hollywood Studio Symphony.

Touching.......2007-07-04

There isn't much I can say about this beautiful movie, except that it was so touching!
It say's go for the "true love", settle for nothing else no matter what may be in store, because love that is "true" and as beautiful as their's was, is a rare thing!
I absolutely loved the ending.
I also loved that a movie CAN be truly wonderful, beautiful and touching WITHOUT grafic "sex scenes!" Also sadly a rare thing in movies today.

Ever seen "Hanover Street?" Equally beautiful. No SEX scenes either!

Pays music a complement. I love the classical pieces!.......2007-05-27

I do not have the soundtrack to The Notebook, but I do have the movie itself. Having said that, every song is wonderful. Some music carries with it, a wealth of emotion and a sense of timelessness. I love all of the classical pieces , perhaps the best, in this particular movie. Classical has never been my speed when it comes down to music, but something about this movie's classical masterpieces struck a chord in me...made me smile and maybe even sniffle a bit. If you are a fan of the movie, I'm sure you would love its soundtrack too. Music like this is ideal for a romantic evening or just for pleasure listening. You don't know if you'll like something until you give it a chance! So give this a chance!!

the Notebook soundtrack (Audio CD).......2007-05-13

This is a beautiful collection of music from the movie, The Notebook. Most is instrumental, very relaxing, as well as lively at times. Two renditions of "I'll Be Seeing You" are included.

Very Nice.......2007-03-30

I really enjoyed listening to the soundtrack, but I'm also a big fan of background music and this cd was great for both. Listening to the cd took me back to the movie and reminded me how much I enjoyed it, but I also put the cd on during a nice meal with friends and it worked out very well, they all enjoyed the music.

A sweeping, emotional standout!.......2007-01-11

The music from The Notebook brings you right back to the film, capturing your heart and soul. It's music will roll live waves through your soul and bring you from nostalgia to your own feelings of love and desire. The selections, arrangements and orchestrations are to be admired, and Mr. Zigman is to be praised. This soundtrack truly completes the legacy of "The Notebook".

Excellent single disc compilation of the Red Rocker........2007-07-11

This excellent single disc anthology for Sammy Hagar starts off with his biggest hit from 1973 with Montrose "Bad Motor Scooter" and then proceeds to go through 19 tracks from his proper solo career.

There are 20 tracks on here and the CD times out at 78:59. It covers his solo years from 1974 to 1984, his 1987 solo album while he was a fairly new member of Van Halen and 3 songs off of his 1997 and 1999 solo albums. The songs have been remastered in crystal clear clarity and really makes me wish that they would remaster Sammy's entire solo catalog from the 70's and 80's in similar fashion.

I'm not getting into if one song should have put on here instead of another as there is only so much you can cram onto an 80 minute CD. While I do think that they would have better served his fans by doing a 2 disc anthology, for a single disc anthology this does exactly what it should do is give someone a great overview of an artist's career in chronological order.

Most of the hits are here but the coolest thing about this is the you get the 3 soundtrack songs from the films Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Footloose, Over the Top in addition to 2 unreleased 1974 tracks as well. They also included the song "High Hopes" which was a track newly recorded for the prior 1994 compilation attempt "Unboxed".

Until they remaster his back catalog at some point, this is a most excellent choice for someone wanting to re-discover Sammy's excellent solo output and get a great chronological overview of his work.

Like I mentioned this would've been even better as double disc retrospective with a lot of his album cuts off of his solo albums on it (and some people say that there should be some Van Halen stuff on here but I disagree), but for what this is you can't do any better.

AHHHHHHH Sammy!!!!!!.......2007-06-07

Good Collection of Songs..........2007-03-14

I've got his other greatest hits & was happy to see that this one wasn't going to be 80% or more of the last one with recent hits. Only 2 songs from his previous (I've Done Everything & Bad Motor Scooter). Of course, with that being said, I wish Cruisin' & Boozin' was one of the 2 (maybe a live version?). Most guys don't have this many hits in their entire career. He's got 2 full albums, plus his VH stuff... & more records to come.

David who?.......2007-02-20

This is why David Lee Roth will never stack up to Sammy! Not only a better library of Van Halen songs and all six of his albums with them going to number one on the charts but what a great library of solo songs as well! Sammy can write and play with or without Eddie but Roth is a joke no writing talent at all except lyricly! Without great musicians surrounding him he sucks! But Sammy can get a bar band to back him and go out on tour and not only play his solo stuff but pull of pretty good renditions of Van Halen songs too! if you like any period of Sammy's solo stuff this album will open you up to all of them! The only this could be better just like the Tom Petty greatest hits is make it longer or more CD's so enjoy until the next greatest hits comes out or Sammy opens the vault and pulls out some unreleased stuff!

Probably the best sammy collection available to date........2007-01-23

Covering his days in montrose to his marching to mars album, this is probably the best collections you can get of Sammy's body of work. Although it lack one of my favorite little songs, three lock box, it covers everything else, including a couple of soundtrack songs (heavy metal and fast times at ridgemont high). It even includes the song rick springfield covered, "I've done everything for you", done in original sammy style of course. GReat collection for a Sammy fan, also complements the Van Halen collection as well. I have my unboxed greatest hits as well, I'll listen to it for three lock box. It's cheap here on amazon as well, pick it up to get an even more comprehensive sammy collection.

A True Classic.......2005-07-02

This is by far the best complete Sammy Hagar album ever released. The songs are well crafted hard rock gems. No other album in Sammy's career ever had this many quality songs all together. Even his Van Halen days didn't give us an album that matches these standards. Standing Hampton is one of the greatest albums ever made and has been on my list since the first time I heard it when I was a teenager. The album's killer grooves contain the top notch "Heavy Metal", "There's Only One Way To Rock", I'll Fall In Love Again" & "Baby, It's You". The albums lesser known tracks will not disappoint you as they are just as stellar as the singles. Hagars cover of "Piece Of My Heart" is fine version even if not as good as Janis's. I can't say how great Standing Hampton is you just have to hear it for yourself. I only wish that more people gave this incredible album its due!

My Favorite SAMMY HAGAR album! .......2005-05-26

If Standing Hampton was a food, I'd eat 3 meals a day, if it was a house, I'd live there till I died. If it was a car, I'd drive it till the wheels fell off..

..but that's applying Music to mere material possesions, and music is much more than that, as we know. This album embodies Really great butt-kicking, sweet & classy rock and roll. From the opening track "I'll fall in Love again", which is an awesome heart-felt tune, to heavier romps like "Baby's on Fire" and "Heavy Metal", this is a complete rock music masterpiece. Great Guitars and heavy drums included!. This album is really great because of all the mid-tempo rockers in between. Not power ballads, not tons of fast rock songs, nothing with a dark, brooding background, just good fun rock and roll Sammy Hagar Style. Sammy's music is so much more, it's an experience, and takes you to a place called FUN where the sun never goes down and the beer never goes dry!

If you like Some of his other CD's, or enjoyed his songs with Van Halen from 1986-96, then I strongly recommend you look into adding this one to your collection. As I said before, Its my favorite album. Cars and Houses come and go, but I've been listening to this album off and on for the past 20 years, and never grow tired of it. It's great for the house, parties, or for driving on that long deserved road trip.

An early 80s AOR classic.......2005-04-21

By the time Sammy Hagar released "Standing Hampton," the Red Rocker was already a veteran hard-rocker. The former Montrose and future Van Halen singer had spent the 70s releasing a string of solo albums for Capital Records. Although these albums, were for the most part consistently good, it's Hagar's 80s Geffen albums that see his finest solo offerings. Hagar's knack for writing good, catchy AOR songs hit its high point during this period. Released in 1981, "Standing Hampton" was the best album Hagar released, since Montrose's debut album, which was released five years earlier.

"Standing Hampton" is a great, meat-and-potatoes, 80s hard-rock album. It's all killer and no filler. Each song is tightly written and has a good hook, sing-along-chorus, and a few cool solos. Most of the songs on this disc are mid-tempo, but this album never gets tepid or runs out of steam. I would go as far as to say that "Standing Hampton" surpasses any album Hagar released with Van Halen, in terms of memorable, well-written songs with good hooks. As a guitar player, Hagar is no Eddie Van Halen, but his solos and playing on this album are still excellent. So even if Hagar isn't the most technically proficient guitarist, his playing and his solos are undeniably good. And most important, Hagar is a first class songwriter.

"Standing Hampton" is an enjoyable, good natured album. Personally, I feel that this album is sort of like musical meatloaf, it's comfort music. Although I should point out that it still is substantive; it's not mindless fun, like Poison.

The album starts off with the mid-tempo "I'll Fall in Love Again." A song about keeping it going after being burned. "There's Only One Way to Rock" is a fast-paced arena-rocker that could have easily been used for Van Halen (VH often played this song live). "Baby's On Fire" is another mid-tempo song that sounds a bit like "Man on a Mission" from Van Halen's "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" (1991). The synth-heavy rocker "Can't Get Loose" is one of Hagar's more underrated songs. It's a song about people who just can't seem to get a break. It features some of Hagar most thoughtful lyrics. "Heavy Metal" is another Hagar classic. It pretty much sums up the spirit of the genre for which the song is named. The album slows down a bit for the striking baled "Baby it's You." This underrated gem is far superior to many of the love songs for which Hagar is famous for (i.e., "Why Can't This Be Love," "Feels So Good.") "Surrender" is a more upbeat, underrated gem in the same vein. "Inside Lookin' In" is another very cool, catchy rocker, and keeps up the momentum. "Sweet Hitchhiker" along with "One Way to Rock" is one of the albums more fast-paced songs. The album closes with an excellent cover or the Janis Joplin classic "Piece of My Heart." This version may not surpass the original, but it's easily just as good. The saxophone solos are a nice touch.

"Standing Hampton," stands alongside Montrose's self-titled debut, Van Halen's "5150," and "Balance" and his first post VH album "Marching to Mars" as Hagar's best work. Any fan of 80s rock, AOR, or Van Halen is sure to love "Standing Hampton."

THERE IS ONLY ONE SAMMY.............2004-02-09

Not much to add to what everyone has said. Sammy is immensely talented, with a flair to write great catchy,hard rocking songs.This and "Three Lock Box" are my two fave Sammy albums. Not sure which I would pick as the better one-they are both outstanding. The music scene today is seriously lacking great rock music that Sammy and a few others have made famous. "There's only one way to rock" and "Heavy Metal" are on the harder side while "Baby it's you" and "Surrender" are not as heavy but still great tunes that deserved to be hits! Everyone who loves Sammy already has this but if you are new to his music, you can't go wrong here

Tied with 3 Lock Box as Sammy's best........2003-06-05

This is one of those fun, tuneful hard rock albums. If you want to only buy one of his full studio albums, start with this one.

The pounding soundtrack song "Heavy Metal" is here. The title is pretty descriptive too, as the song talks about that very subject. The somewhat '70s tinged classic/hard rocker "Baby's On Fire" is a song telling the story of a girl he knows. In this same vein, the cover of "Piece Of My Heart" is easily as good as the original. "I'll Fall In Love Again" is a mid tempo, somewhat heartfelt song that still rocks, albeit with a lighter, more pop based '80s sounding beat. This should've been a huge hit. My absolute favorite song of his, though, is the fast, anthemic "There's Only One Way To Rock". It's a celebratory, fun song that also sounds more reminiscent of 80s hard rock. It's perfect in the sense that it's still extremely catchy, with a tiny bit of pop thrown in.

The other songs are good too. "Baby It's You" is an obscure, very nice sounding power ballad. "Surrender" is a cover, that's similar in style, but not as good. The heavier "Sweet Hitchhiker" is another song about picking up a girl. Sammy is great at subjects like this! "Inside Lookin' In" is a lighter, more melodic rocker that could've been a hit. "Can't Get Loose" is a longer, more epic rock song that isn't quite as good, but not bad.

Sammy Hagar is still fairly well known and liked today, even among people who aren't big hard rock fans. The age range, both young and old, among people who like him is bigger too. One reason I think he's not lumped in with the '80s is that he's JUST different enough from alot of his peers of the decade to stand out. He's not quite as silly sounding or trendy as Poison or Whitesnake. He's not as thrashy or loud as Megadeth or early Metallica. He's heavier than typical '80s AOR such as Loverboy or Survivor, and used less keyboards than them. Many of the afforementioned artists are what I'd call guilty pleasures today (or, maybe even than, if I'd been high school/college aged in the 80s), whereas Sammy is more timeless sounding.

this a real good 80's album from sammy and crew not as strong as standing hampton! but a must for hagar fans

Break the locks and unleash this rock masterpiece!.......2005-05-26

Three lock box is vintage hagar, I love this album! The release of this 1983 was just a glimpse of things to come from Sammy Hagar for the NEXT 25 YEARS: Great vocals, superb songwriting, melodic & anthemic rock that filled a niche, then overflowed and overpowered most around it!

Three Lock Box is a rocker
Remote Love is a sweet poppy tune
Remember the heroes is a DEEP heart felt rock tune dedicated to all of our veterans!
Your love is driving me crazy - Great pop tune with excellent melody, great riffs on the guitar as well!
In the Room - Dark, spooky tune, quite a trip! Reminds me of some prog rock space tune or something of a meidevil background.
Rise of the Animal - The Room song jumps into this hard driving rock tune.

The rest of the tunes are fun and rockin' as well. If you have not heard sammy hagar, or liked some of his work with Van Halen, you should start with this album. I personally feel his best solo works are this, VOA, and Standing Hampton. All are gems, and all are multi-platinum recordings.

One Of Sammy Hagar's Best.......2002-09-20

THREE LOCK BOX is good-time rock album that has some serious lyrics- "Remember The Heroes" is about Vietnam, and "I Wouldn't Change A Thing", describes life's experiences. The blend of Bob Seger/Ted Nugent Detroit rock, Skynyrd/Outlaws Southern rock, and Humble Pie/Foghat/Montrose heavy metal that was present on STANDING HAMPTON remains, but a bit of Journey-esque pop-rock creeps in on the hit single "Your Love Is Driving me Crazy." This and its predecessor, along with MARCHING TO MARS, RED VOODOO, TEN 13, and NOT 4 SALE, are Sammy Hagar's finest solo albums. The fact that Hagar currently advocates sanctions against Indonesia in retaliation for that country's recent trumped-up drug-smuggling conviction of a young Australian tourist, as well as more funding for law enforcement, makes this CD an essential purchase for both your ears AND your conscience.

The best all-around Hagar album.......2002-08-08

There aren't as many hits here as on Sammy's predecessor "Standing Hampton" or the follow-up "VOA." Both of those come pretty close, but just because there's very little filler here, this marginally wins.

"Your Love Is Driving Me Crazy" is Sam's biggest hit and my favorite song of his. It's almost never played on the radio anymore, though. It's a typical '80s Hard Rocker, but slightly more pop, due to keyboard use. Many other songs here use them too. "Remote Love" and "Never Give Up" are carbon copies and excellent album tracks. The other hits were the title track and "I Don't Need Love." These are more like his standard fare. The latter is also one of his best, fast-paced, sex and party, but 'safe' song.

"I Wouldn't Change A Thing" was, I believe, a minor hit that should've been bigger. One thing about this album that were LESS present in others was the slightly serious thoughts on top of the usual party rock. The part ballad "Remember the Hereoes" (about soldiers) was the only completely dramatic song, but it fits in well and is a nice addition. "Growing Up" was a self-explanatory look at just that. (One thing I like about Rock stars is they don't have an age limit for subjects. Sammy was in his late 30s when this came out, but he can talk about coming of age and make it sound totally natural). "In the Room" was another change. The only song I can't get into. A little darker, it talks about dreamland vs reality. "Rise of the Animal" is similar to this, but somewhat more musically engaging.

3 Lock Box is more or less forgotten probably since it's sandwitched between albums which have the near Metal of "One Way to Rock" and "Heavy Metal" as well as the classic road song "Can't Drive 55." By the time I discovered this, I was a die-hard fan of those too, so take my word, don't pass it up.

No numeric or anagrammatic puns in the title of album #11, a sure sign that a new chapter is opening for these monsters of '80s rock. The band's formula has been polished to a blinding gleam here by producer Bruce Fairbairn, and there's a formidable mix of radio cuts (the first single "Don't Tell Me," "Can't Stop Lovin' You"), boneheaded rawk numbers ("Amsterdam," "Big Fat Money") and towering, cinematic epics ("The Seventh Seal," "Feelin'"). --Jeff Bateman

Customer Reviews:

A Great Album.......2007-06-23

This is another great album by one of the greatest bands to hit the hard rock scene, Van Halen. Eddie's guitar sounds amazing as do Alex's drums.
1: The Seventh Seal: Awesome riff by eddie and a fun song to listen to.
2: Cant Stop Lovin You: A nice bass line in the background and a great love song.
3: Don't Tell Me (What Love Can Do): Argueably one of the greatest riffs I have heard, you can hear the mean, growl of Eddie's Guitar along with a classic EVH solo. A heavy song that is one of the best on the album.
4: Amstersdam: A fun song with a great tone of Eddie's Guitar and an awesome solo. Another great song.
5; Big Fat Money: Another fun song with really good solo work and just makes you wanna jump up and dance the ngith away ;)
6: Eddie Van Halen gettign creative with forks on a piano and inside it, should be used in a horror secene of a movie, it's creepy.
7: Not Enough; A sweet and easy-going song with nice piano work.
8 Aftershock: One of the best on the album, A great riff and a really good song with classic EVH soloing.
9: Alex's Van Halen mastery over the drums.
10: Balichutherium: An excellent instrumental song with deadly EVH guitar tone. Probably the best tone I've ever heard from a guitar. At the end, u can hear what EVH can do with a guitar and the different noises that he can make with a guitar.
11: A good song that always amke me think of the old days for me.
12: Feelin' :A slower song but really good with one of the fastest solos I've heard since eruption. Just shows you EVH's mastery over the guitar.

Overall, I'd rate this album 9/10. It's a great album and never gets old to me. If you are a VH fan, it's a must own. Even if you are just a hard-rock fan, you should own this.

Disappointment/Unbalanced.......2007-03-30

I wanted to like this album. I really did. I'm a big Van Halen fan, and a big Van Hagar fan as well.

It's just too trite. Many of the songs feel like they threw a bunch of good elements in a hat (low chorused guitar riff/harmonics/big beat/primal scream/crazy solo/resolving of tension with soaring melodic guitar) and pulled them out in combinations to create songs. Some of these elements work for a few bars, but ultimately they all disappoint.

Honestly, there isn't a single song on this album that is really complete and interesting. Sorry guys. I tried.

Inbalance.......2007-02-12

Almost released as an instrumental album after Hagar walked out near the end of the sessions. The VH boys are weaker here and running out of ideas. Sure, Amsterdam is the hash capitol of the world, but did we really need an anthem for the city written by a 50 year old rocker.

Rhytmical Van Halen.......2006-04-03

Well, that's last full studio album with Hagar up to date.
Bruce Fairbairn, who produced this album, made it sound quite different than other VH albums. But I wouldn't say it's too polished like some people think. Few ballads are really in pop style, but thats the way Bruce was doing it.I think Ed and Bruce efforts were to do good riffs and Eddie was thinking more about rhythm guitar than soloing on this album. Now about the tracks:
1 The Seventh Seal - It's good mid-tempo rocker with nice oriental intro and with no solo, nice, strong drums. - 8/10
2 Can't stop loving you - it's very warm ballad with radio-friendly chorus, it has a lot of Ed's trademark guitar tricks in the background. 7/10
3 Don't tell me(...) - well, very strong riff, song is sung very rhytmical. Two guitar solos, chorus little bit more gentle than rest of the song. 9/10
4 Amsterdam - song about smokin :) Eddie's solo is something like immitating helicopter's propeller(it refers to "brain shake" when you are stoned?) 9/10
5 Big fat money - it's very fast straightforward track, funny rocker. It's mix of hard rock, punk, and classic rock in the style of 60?(chorus) 10/10
6 Strung out - it's Eddie playing piano with... knife and fork, he also is digging inside the piano - ?/10
7 Not Enough - Beautiful ballad, with guitar-piano duo. 7/10
8 Aftershock - this is my favorite on this album, good rocker with great vocals and one of the most impressing of Eddie's guitar solos ever (it's the second one, at the very end of the track) of course 10/10
9 Doing Time - drum solo(who likes drum solos???) 5/10
10 Baluchiterium - guitar - synth instrumental with Ed (at the end) immitating ducks, elephants, dogs etc. 8/10
11 Take me back - not impressing ballad, with english spelled "deja vu"(I prefer french, original version) 5/10
12 Feelin - great ballad, very monumental thing, everything is on it's place there. 9/10
Japanese edition cd has also "Crossing Over", nice semi-ballad(?)with beautiful intro which reminds guitar from "Cathedral".
Tensions between Ed and Sam led to band split some time after "balance' tour finished. Among other problems there were alcohol problems and, of course, different opinions about where VH music should go to.

Perfect balance of sound and substance.......2006-03-14

Balance...according to me the best post-David Lee Roth Van Halen effort. I would even go to say that this is their best record on 3 days out of a week, the other competitior being their self-titled debut album.

Edie Van Halen as usual, is the linchpin in this enormous effort from a band that became extremely popular in the late 70's and early 80's. Edie Van Halen is proabably every new guitarist's idol and every semi-seasoned guitarists worst nightmare! Pioneering a different kind of sound, with his blazing fast solos and trademark two-handed finger tapping, Edie Van Halen undoubetdly is one of the most talented guitarists around, still rocking hard as ever; a lot of guitarists nevertheless having tried (and some shamelessly succeeding to a certain extent) to copy his style and endorsing it as their own. Rumour has it that Edie was so bothered by this, that whenever he had to play a lead, he would turn his back to the crowd, lest anyone see how he was playing!

Van Halen as a band, has over the years transformed from a fun-loving college-girl-boy pleasing outfit to a more serious and mature band. Although 'For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge' still showed slight strains of happy-go-lucky (still superb rock) endorsements, 'Balance' comes across as a more serious effort...and the resulting sound is a clear cut above contemporary hard rock...a lot of it courtesy Edie's guitar playing sklls.

Balance contains some of the finest riffs Edie has ever come up with, although songs like 'Ain't talkin' 'bout love', 'Panama', 'Jump' and the famous and path-breaking 'Eruption' have memorable leads and patches, that are still considered second to none.

The first track, 'The Seventh Seal' has a riff almost like a sonic boomerang. A sound and tone effect never heard before, Edie sets agenda for a different kind of guitaring, one that is quite different from his accomplished style of pelting out riffs.
Similar gargantuan riff sections follow in 'Don't tell me what love can do' and 'Aftershock', all powerful numbers that can easily rock an entire stadium.
The piece de resistance of Edie's guitaring is unearthed in the absolutely amazing 'Feelin', which features a blazing fast solo and some sizzling finger tapping combined with beating riffs.
A taste of the broken style riff of 'Ain't talkin' 'bout love' can be heard on 'Amsterdam', another super riff-based track, which towards the end, is as much as a sonic kaleidoscope. The heaviest, or rather fastest Van Halen song ever, would have to undeniably be 'Big Fat Money'. And what a way to start the song, absolutely head banging stuff with definitive Edie riffing. Super rocking song.

A couple of love and soft rock songs come in the form of 'Can't stop loving you', 'Not Enough' and 'Take me back(deja vu), the latter having some beautiful acoustic accompaniment.
Instrumental manifestations appear in the form of the stringy 'Strung Out', which is a lot of fretwork I think, the royal 'Baluchitherium' (almost sounds like a Satch creation) and the percussion oriented 'Doin' Time'.

Die hard David Lee Roth fans might have to get used to the harsh vocals of Sammy Hagar, which is a far cry from the ways of Roth. Still, Sammy does a decent enough job, maybe sounding a bit too harsh sometimes, but nevertheless nothing incongruent to the music of the band as a whole. Anyways it won't take long to realise why this album rocks big time...and you'll have to thank Edie for that. Nothign Erupts like 'Ain't talkin' 'bout love, but there's pretty a punch to leave you with a feelin' of after shock.

Top Picks: (In case you're making a best of collection)
Seventh Seal, Aftershock, Amsterdam, Don't tell me, Baluchitherium, Big Fat Money, Deja Vu and Feelin'.

Having long ago earned his rock wars stripes as working class foil and foiled Van Halen superstar, Sammy Hagar finally understands who's laughing best. A half-dozen albums into a post-VH second solo career where Hagar has sometimes seemed more like Dorian Grey than Red Rocker Redux, the veteran rocker kicks off his shoes again--along with some longstanding presumptions. Hagar succeeds here by nimbly channeling the Ghost of Jimmy Buffet Whenever--even if the veteran rocker's Gulf of California acoustic blues is about as authentic as Robert Johnson's Delta surfing legend. The opening "Sam I Am" sets the tone, a slice of slide-guitar autobio-blues that borrows from the folks who stole it from the people who nicked it from the southern blues masters; Sammy's "Ice Cream Man," if you can forgive him (and after his greasy cover of Dylan's "Rainy Day Women" you might not). Hagar does a subtler job suggesting the spirit of Brian Wilson via the harmonies of the loping "Living On a Coastline," channels a little faux Tennessee twang into "Halfway to Memphis" before a thoroughly Hagar-ized cover of the Pointers "I'll Take You There" and the surprisingly tender lullaby "Some Day" close the album out on a high note. With tracks like "I Love This Bar" and "One Sip," it's a party-hearty record whose crafty appeal seems to vary in direct proportion to one's number of empty cerveza bottles. This is music with a purpose: to make sunburned drunks dance badly. Sober pale people take heed. -- Jerry McCulley

Album Description

Get into the Cabo Wabo spirit with a brand new solo album of high-powered studio material from legendary hard rock frontman and guitarist extraordinaire Sammy Hagar!

Customer Reviews:

I am glad I didn't buy it ! .......2007-05-29

After listening to the songs on the album, and then hearing a song from "The Pointer Sisters" -- Let me take you there -- I decided not to buy it. I could not listen to Sammy sing the song, the same one I heard the Pointer Sisters sing in Vegas, years ago. Man, what happen to the old Sammy?

Enjoy RED Heads!.......2007-05-15

You have to be a TRUE RED Head to totally appreciate what Sam has put together on this release. I love the addition of the Country version of Half Way to Memphis, it works. Rock On Sammy and I'll see you in Cabo!

I had to buy it to believe it...........2007-04-03

...but it's true. Sammy's gone country. There are 2 MAYBE 3 tracks on this whole album that are any good. My taste in music is very broad with one exception - country. If I had to name one rock icon of mine, it would be Sammy and...Sammy...you really let me down with this album. It pains me to say so, but I can't recommend this album to the classic Hagar rock fan.

There's a fine line between writing about your life experiences and just being a shill.......2007-02-15

The Good
I want to get this out of the way before we get started; I love Sammy Hagar's music and I love Cabo Wabo Tequila. With that being said, on to the review. The Red Rocker toots his own horn on the acoustic/country opener "Sam I Am." The track has an incredible bounce to it, as Hagar drops references to his past and present life. "The Way We Live" starts off with a great rock riff, but breaks down to a heavy vocal track. Hagar's new found affection for country music is expressed again on the touching ballad "Halfway to Memphis." Sammy's always had a way with the ballad, but come to think of it, his heavy stuff was kind of pumped up ballads. Anyway, it's another great emotional acoustic ditty with "Sailin'."

The Bad
Tough to be the hard rock Jimmy Buffett when your new album has you sounding almost exactly like Buffet. There's a lot more country influence to Sammy's sound. In fact, two of the songs were co-written by country music stars; "I Love This Bar" (Toby Keith) and "One Sip" (Kenny Chesney). And if you didn't know that Hagar lives in Mexico, owns two bars, a tequila company, and lives to tell you all about them; you certainly will after listening to this album. Livin' It Up is basically an advertisement for all things Sammy.

It would be fine if it was subtle, but it's too in your face. For example; "Living on a Coastline" (about Mexico), "Mexico" (um, Mexico again), "The Way We Live" (Cabo Wabo Cantina), "I Love This Bar" (um, Cantina again), "One Sip" (Cabo Wabo Tequila disguised as a love song), and "I'll Take You There" (it's a cover, and Hagar found a way to work his cantina and a former Van Halen song [Cabo Wabo] into the lyrics).

The Verdict
Livin' It Up is a decent lounging album, but its more so catered to Hagar's bars (or any Mexican themed bar). It's not so great for fans of Sammy's hard rock past or rock music fans in general. There's a fine line between writing about your life experiences and just being a shill for your lifestyle. Sammy Hagar has crossed the line into shillsville. (Guess I blew my chance at some free tequila?)

Customer Reviews:

with a song in my heart/pal joey sound tracks.......2007-03-31

I actually was so pleased to see a CD available because I have been longing for the movie "with a song in my heart" to become available on VHS and then on DVD, and it never has, so now at least I can enjoy the songs from the movie. The cast track from Pal Joey was just an added bonus.

With A Song In My Heart CD.......2007-03-19

I saw the film, "With A Song In My Heart" when I was twelve or thirteen years old and have wanted the sound track for many years. As an impressionable teenager in the 1950s, I have collected over time many of the films from that time on VHS or DVD, to satisfy my memories of the period. I regret that this particular film is not available on VHS or DVD, but, this CD is the next best choice. It is really enjoyable to hear the richness and depth of the voice of Jane Froman, who was one of the best singers of the time. I can still recall many scenes from the film and this CD revives the memories so well.

A Jane Froman double feature........2006-09-16

This DRG CD pairs two recordings starring Jane Froman.

WITH A SONG IN MY HEART

Susan Hayward played Jane Froman in the film but Froman herself dubbed the vocals. This album of songs was originally issued as a 10" Lp. None of the tracks are taken from the film: They are all studio re-recordings. Later, Capitol re-released it as a 12" LP with two extra songs added. It is that expanded [program included here. Froman is in great voice, though the orchestrations are overly lush and string heavy. Still, the songs include such standards as "It's a Good Day", "Get Happy", and "Embraceable You" making for an enjoyable mini-concert.

PAL JOEY

Capitol's cast album of the 1952 revival has long been a collector's item. The original Lp was deleted in 1960 and did not resurface until Broadway Angel released it on CD (briefly) in 1993. As the stars of the revival Harold Lang and Vivienne Segal had already made a studio cast album for Columbia - an album that helped inspire the revival - they were unable to re-record their songs for Capitol, and the label turned to Jane Froman and Dick beavers to fill in. The revised orchestrations sound dated now, but here is a chance to hear Elaine Stritch singing "Zip" and to enjoy the lusty voice of Helen Gallagher early in her career.

In the end it's the WITH A SONG IN MY HEART selections (making their debut on CD here) that make this CD worthwhile. For PAL JOEY the studio recording (available from SONY) is preferable, however if one is so inclined you can assemble your own cast album of the '52 revival by combining tracks from both releases.

"Pal Joey's" Pal.......2006-07-30

While the legubrious and over-orchestrated songs from the film "With a Song in My Heart" are typical of their era (and Jane Froman's stilted renditions are what once stood for emoting) the "Pal Joey" cast recording is an absolute delight. The orchestrations are bouncy and jazzy in a way that has long been forgotten, and the performances (except for the aforementioned Ms. Froman, whose Vulgnarian renditions are at times quite disconcerting, and who hits the sonic notes like lazer beems but misses the emotional ones by a country mile) are exceptional. Helen Gallagher deserved her Tony from the evidence of this recording, with Elaine Stritch not far behind her. But the overall impact surpasses any recording of "Joey" including the historic one that lead to this revival. There's energy, intensity and a whole lot of fantastic song writing (leave it to to Rogers and Hart) to satisfy any musical theater fan. A must have for anyone who loves "Old Broadway."

another great twofer from DRG.......2004-01-21

Jane Froman was one of the top vocalists of her era. Froman's greatness is celebrated in this new 2-on-1 album, which comprises the film soundtrack of WITH A SONG IN MY HEART as well as the 1952 Broadway revival cast album of PAL JOEY.

WITH A SONG IN MY HEART was the life story of Jane Froman, with the lovely Susan Hayward in the lead role. Froman herself supplied the singing for the film. Numbers include "It's a Good Day", the bittersweet and humorous "They're Either Too Young or Too Old", "Blue Moon", "Get Happy", "Tea for Two" and "I'm Thru with Love".

The 1952 Broadway revival of PAL JOEY was the result of the huge success of a studio album released by Columbia the year before (which featured Vivienne Segal reprising her original role of Vera and Harold Lang as Joey). Segal and Lang headlined the new revival with Helen Gallagher (SWEET CHARITY, HAZEL FLAGG) as Gladys Bumps and Elaine Stritch (ON YOUR TOES, GOLDILOCKS) as reporter Melba Snyder.

Having already recorded their roles for the Columbia album, Segal and Lang saw little need in re-recording them for the revival album on the Capitol label. Instead, the roles of Vera and Joey were covered by Jane Froman and Dick Beavers.

The cast album suffers on many levels. First, the absence of Segal and Lang is quite distracting, and secondly the new Overture can't even compare with the scintillanting original.

The Columbia studio album is the version to buy in addition to this, though both albums have their strong and weak points. As per usual, Elaine Stritch brings her impressive and formidable comic timing to the fore in the show-stopping "Zip", and Helen Gallagher's silvery voice is perfect for "That Terrific Rainbow".

A fine addition to your collection. [DRG 19054]

Sammy Kershaw Is Star Quality.......2007-01-06

A solid performance by a singer who doesn't receive enough praise for his singing talents. It's a keeper, and a CD that I will listen to often.

Difinitive Collection ~ Sammy Kershaw.......2006-11-03

fantastic grouping of Sammy's music. Great way to update old cassettes of Sammy's music to the CD versions.

Sammy at his usual best!.......2005-09-30

Sammy Kershaw lives the songs he sings, and brings those songs to life with his honest, pure, soulful country voice. He IS the every man, singing songs every man and woman can understand, relate to and appreciate. He pours himself into each and every song which only helps bind the connections of those songs to each person listening. His robust style, great voice, and immense talent lend themselves to his music, tying the hearts, emotions and memories of the listeners together just as though he was singing them directly to us, or for us. Music has had great singers/performers in history, but none have surpassed Sammy in the last 30 years!

WINNERS ALL!.......2005-06-10

Sammy is amazing! Southern rock and a powerful style that grabs you with tuneful hits magnificently delivered by a twangy, memmorable voice...What an entertainer! He should be right up there with the best of 'em... The Travis Tritt and Brooks & Dunn fans should flock to Sammy!

A real and true Country star - now unfortunately underated.......2005-03-13

I bought this album primarily for his '97 hit "Love Of My Life"...I was up north in the Yukon and preparing for a nice day-long roadtrip the night before... their local music store was closing and I had to buy a last-minute CD for some good tunes - so I picked Sammy Kershaw, and boy was it ever worth it! "Yard Sale" is one of my favourites, among a few others. Overall, great CD...one of my personal favourites in my whole collection and has somewhat more or less converted me into a new Sammy Kershaw fan. Well worth the money. Definately a great alternative and relief to what I hear mostly on the "country" radio stations nowadays...

When I heard "Heaven" I rushed to purchase this CD. Take "Heaven" as a prelude to what this CD is-a bad (mostly) cover tunes album. "California Dreamin" is soo bad I could not get throught half of it. And the origional stuff is predictable, and boring. Besides, who needs the "Bonus" slow version or "Heaven" anyway. Save your money. Download "Heaven" for a mere 99 cents.

an awesome compilation and artist.......2006-08-24

Being an eJay artist, it is only natural to be a fan of DJ Sammy. For DJ Sammy to be a former eJay artist, it explains why I and a lot of other eJay artists are huge fans of this talented musician.
A great listen if you like to put something new into your musical diet.

Awesome "Softrock" Listening.......2006-04-22

I orignially purchased this CD due to the song "Heaven" and was pleasantly surprised to find not only a video on the CD, but also was introduced to Eurodance music. This is a wonderful CD to relax with....enjoy.

Heaven - a remake of Bryan Adams popular 1985 Pop Hit, is actually sung by a beautiful young Dutch artist by the name of Dominique van Hulst. She is featured in the song's video of which is also on the DJ Sammy and Yanou featuring Do - CD. "Do" has several hit songs in the Netherlands and is very well known in Europe. She has had several CD-Singles. Her debut CD simply titled "Do", and a new release "Follow Me" is worth the trouble finding. I have purchased her CDs through on-line music stores found in the United Kingdom. Her voice is simply beautiful and her CDs are nothing less than awesome. Thanks DJ Sammy.

decided to buy another copy of this, since my original got lost in the process of my 4 different moves in 3 years. if that doesn't explain that it's a pretty good cd, i'm not sure what will.

most of the tracks on this cd are upbeat enough that you want to move, and many of them give me a little lift-me-up when i'm feeling down.

now, i can respect those of you who don't like this cd because it has a few "rip-off remakes", but let's be honest people--just about every artist in any type of popular music right now has remade at least one song during their career.

i'd suggest at least giving it at try. if you don't like it--sell it back to someone like me. :)

The track "Heaven" is excellent for listening to on the MP3 (iPod) especially when doing high intensity workout. I purchsed just this cut "Heaven" from iTunes, but can't transfer the song to other mediums (as it's protected. Thinking about buying the entire CD, so I am checking out the other tracks and a lot of it is quite enjoyable and I am thinking seriously of buying the entire CD. I guess your rating depends on a lot of different factors -- mainly it's different for everyone.

In fact, this is my first intro to DJ Sammy and I NOW see that he's been around for a while!! Where have I been? Well, off to buy one of his CD's in full. Note: I see that only 4 stars appear, although I chose 5.
