Another Grammy-winner!.......2007-07-10

The title was ideal for Huey Lewis & The News' fourth overall album despite the golf term. This album was preceded by the band's 1980 self-titled debut,1982's PICTURE THIS and the Grammy-winning SPORTS,released in late '83 or early '84. The band garnered more Grammys with the hits JACOB'S LADDER(written or co-written by Bruce Hornsby),STUCK WITH YOU,DOING IT ALL FOR MY BABY,HIP TO BE SQUARE and I KNOW WHAT I LIKE. The success of this album lasted for a year,from its summer 1986 release thru the following summer! In the photo,one of the "Newsmen" holds a miniature golf club. Unfortunately,the 1988 follow-up SMALL WORLD didn't win any Grammys but spawned two Top 20 hits. The band was then dropped from the Chrysalis label,which was extinct since 1990 and they moved to EMI-Manhattan.

Great CD! I have owned copies of this album since its debut in 1986........2007-01-09

This is by far one of the absolute best releases by Huey Lewis & the News. Powerful, hard-hitting, and quite emotional. Now, I bought my own copy of this CD back in the spring of 1993, and I've had it ever since. The CD I purchased here was a Christmas present for a special lady friend of mine, named Emily. And a sweet girl SHE is, I can tell you. Anyway, I also got my first ever copy of this album on cassette, back during Christmas 1986. During the summer of that year, "Stuck With You" was my then top favorite. But if you read below, you will see that I have since switched to a different and much better song. I also dedicated this song to Emily recently, and I am not referring to "Stuck With You".

Anyway, my all-time favorite song on this album is not even one of the groups hits. I am referring to "Forest For the Trees". When I first got to hear this song on Christmas Day of 1986, I was hooked!! I also enjoy pretty much the rest of the entire album, aside from "Whole Lot of Lovin'". My mom's favorite on this album is "Naturally", because it also sounds like a barber shop quartet. Emily's favorite on this CD is "Doing It All For My Baby", and it is somewhat of a favorite of mine as well. Another one of my favorites on this album is "Hip to be Square", because I have always considered myself a 'square'. And this song is somewhat of a war cry for those folks out there who are just like me. It all has to do with the way I was raised, and there's nothing wrong with that!

Anyway, for those of you who like hard-hitting, powerful rock music from the '80s era -- but without all the nonsense and profanity -- then I definitely would suggest that this album is for you. Don't get me wrong, for there are other bands out there who are just as popular as Huey Lewis & the News, if not even more popular, such as Journey and Rush -- whom I also love to this day, but Huey Lewis's band is one of the groups I began listening to early on in my teenage years. Besides, they are still pretty much "The Heart of Rock & Roll".

Anyway, folks, y'all might wanna pick this one up for your collection. Enjoy. The same goes for you, Emily, babe.

Be-FORE & after.......2006-10-12

I grew up in the 80's and this was a hip band. I originally bought this on cassette and recently looked to get it on CD. Amazon had a great price and I decided to go "Back in time". The music was as I remembered, great! I like the non-hits alot on this CD. I know radio wouldnt play them so they sit unless you are a fan. "Whole lotta lovin", "Simple as that", and "I know what I like" are just a few. I really enjoy "Naturally" which is accapella. I wish HLN would put out a CD of all accapella music. I guess you could say that "FORE'S" hits were played out in the 80's. They feel fresh again, though. GO BACK!

Huey Lewis & the News at their best.......2006-07-11

There are some very quality songs on this album, from the hit Jacob's Ladder to the a capella Naturally to Hip to be Square. The gamut is covered here. It's a more mature collection than Sports and as such it wasn't the commercial success that the aforementioned album was. That shouldn't diminish its value as to the listener. Unlike many recordings of that era, this one isn't filled with trite bubble-gum ditties or overly-dramatic anthems. It strikes a good balance. It's one of my favorite albums of the period and my all-time favorite of the band's.

Do you like Huey Lewis and the News?.......2006-02-21

Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83,I think they really came into their own, commercial and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consimante professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humour. In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.

Welcome Back, Axe!.......2006-07-03

V is (you guessed it) the fifth album by 80's hard rockers Axe, and the band's first album since the untimely death of guitarist Michael Osbourne in 1984. Thirteen years may have passed between albums, but Axe is still rocking like it's 1984. Never really a metal band in the first place, V finds the band toning down whatever hard edges it may have had and opting for a more AOR/melodic rock approach. They didn't become Journey or REO Speedwagon during their absence, but have a sound similar to later Demon and Uriah Heep albums. Axe always had a flair for that type of music, and V is no exception. The songs are well-written, and the band sounds as good as ever. The album is a welcome return by a truly underrated rock band.

Axe Five.......2000-11-16

This was a long waited suprise .The album holds its' own in the Axe collection. It is a mature sounding band.The song writing was well thought out .The new singer fits in very well . He gets what the band is about.The music has the same edge to it,but with a nice,wouldn't say polished,but professinal & solid sound to it.Even the new recording of Battles fits in great.It also shows the music is timeless. I rated it a four because nothing is perfect. Music isn't about being perfect it's a feeling. I recomend this highly for anyone who likes rock & roll with a little bit of depth.

The Word in one word............2007-05-17

alright. The only reason I own this CD is because Joan Jett's on the title track "The Word".

The Word is in..It's About Eve rocks.......2002-08-30

14 rocking songs by women artists. Plus all proceeds go to breast cancer awareness.
The CD introduced me to many talented musicians and the booklet inside the CD gives a brief overview of each one with a ton of photos.
Of course another main reason to buy this CD is rock legend
Joan Jett steps in on lead vocals on the song "The Word".

Check it out! A cool mix of songs.

The Word is in on.. It's About Eve.......2002-08-28

My review of this 14 song CD is..AMAZING. Tons of songs by talented women artists and they all collaborated on this CD in which all proceeds go towards Breast Cancer Awareness.
Not only is the music good, but the inside booklet you get in the CD introduces you to each artist with a brief summary of their musical background.
*The bonus track is "The Word" (Lennon/McCartney) sung by 27 women artists and features the legendary rocker Joan Jett on lead vocals. A must get CD to add to your collection!!

Nice EP to pick up if you like Pegboy. All the tracks rock. It lacks the longevity factor there other work has but that is partly due to there being only 4 songs.

By far the best pegboy cd........1999-05-29

I just absolutly love this band. the lead singers voice is wonderfully scratchy and rugged. A true pioneer of rock. Just kidding. Tis a pity, though that there are only "fore" songs....Just kidding once again. buy it or burn in the firey depths of hell!

This is one of the best CD's in my collection of almost 500 jazz albums. I will probably wear it out

Jazz fusion that you can listen or dance too........1998-11-22

This is one of those undiscovered gems that you come across once in a while that easily falls into your most played category. This is jazz fusion that is eminently danceable ( take the opening track "free fall" forinstance); but has many other elements like the soothing, sensuous vocals of Judy LaRose on tracks like "heaven in your eyes". The album is good mix of foot tapping up tempo grooves offset by beautiful midtempo melodies. My one rejoinder to the producers of this album(CD) is that I am getting really upset at the lack of any notes with CD,s. Who infact plays that kicking sax on most of the tracks?????

This dashing and intelligent tribute to Walt Whitman's poetry as art song puts commitment to artistry at center stage. With uncommon sensitivity and magnificent voice, Thomas Hampson lovingly interprets 22 songs by various composers, successfully capturing the emotional range of the American bard's verse by delicately caressing the poetry and, alternately, igniting its every nuance. These song settings enhance the innate music in Whitman's poems, giving them passionate expression in another dimension. Craig Rutenberg's stellar accompaniment is a lesson in effective collaboration. Hampson's interspersing of four poetry readings is below this recording's interpretive caliber, but it's a nice touch. Non-Whitman-heads may find the entire recording a bore, though. - -Barbara Eisner Bayer

A labor of love, but the songs aren't first rate.......2006-12-31

As a concept album, Hampson's 1997 tribute to Walt Whitman earned critical praise for its sensitivity and musicality. There's no doubt that the singer is in rare form here--it would be hard to imagine any of this repertoire better sung. He isn't a good reciter of poetry in the four spoken tracks. The major drawback, however, is that none of these songs are close to being masterpieces, and quite a few are decidedly minor. The avid listener can cncentrate on the poetry instead of the music, I suppose--Hampson's enunciation is crystal clear--but after six or seven items couched in the same rather timid Anglo-American art song form, this lavor of love becomes rather taxing as a listening experience. Taken a few at a time, however, these are intriguing choices that combine into a unqiue recital.

Couldn't find another place to ask, thus this line........1999-02-03

Am looking for the bugle calls commonly used when raising the flag and lowering it. Specifically, I am looking for "To the Colors" and "Retreat" in bugle calls. Do you have it?

BUY THIS!.......2003-01-31

This is a based on the works of one of history's greatest composers. Grainger is my personal favorite, as he writes many melodies for saxophone. "Molly on the Shore" is probably my favorite track on the album. If ou find that you enjoy this, search out a recording of Grainger's "Lincolnshire Posy", it is quite possibly the greatest piece ever written.

Sheer Delight in a Country Garden.......2001-07-26

This is one of those discs that sneak up on you and grow in delight with each playing. The ensemble playing is crisp and spirited and the melodic intervention rich. The adaptation of the Franck Chorale for band is priceless. I look forward to exploring Mr. Grainger's opus as a result of this disc.
