Live On Earth

About the Artist
Singer-songwriters Mike & Carleen McCornack have been delighting audiences for over thirty years with an engaging musical style that blends clear, expressive, harmonious vocals with sparkling acoustic instrumental accompaniments.

The McCornack's wide-ranging repertoire includes many critically-acclaimed original compositions. Themes of love, humor, respect for living things and natural beauty fill their performances.

Mike & Carleen have proven equally at home performing for families who know them from their award-winning children’s recordings, and for adults who appreciate their musical depth and off-center humor.

The McCornacks tour and perform throughout the Pacific Northwest, and to date have released six recordings: A Road To Call Your Own (2002), High Hopes (1997, a Parent’s Guide Award winner), Sunshine Cake (1993), Beasties, Bumbershoots and Lullabies (1989, 1992, a Parent’s Choice Gold Award winner), Live on Earth (1983, re-released 2002), and Possibilities (1974, out of print). Both are accomplished songwriters whose music has been recorded and performed by many other artists.

Since 1989 Mike & Carleen have frequently been joined in concert and on their recordings by three outstanding Northwest musicians, Dale Bradley and Kevin and Eileen McCornack, collectively known as the Garden Variety Band. Their daughter Megan and son Andrew contribute piano and percussion to their most recent release A Road To Call Your Own.

While the core of their performances are vocals and acoustic guitar, concerts by Mike & Carleen and the Garden Variety Band feature such diverse instruments as cello, bassoon, concertina, string bass, accordion, hammer dulcimer, harp, banjo, mandolin, harmonica, flute and a variety of small percussion instruments.

Native Oregonians, Mike & Carleen currently live in Eugene with their two children, two yellow Labradors and three cats! They own and operate Garden Variety Productions, a musical services and publishing company, and Garden Variety Record Company.

Product Description:

Live On Earth,Mike & Carleen McCornack,Garden Variety,Recorded live, the McCornacks capture the sound that is uniquely their own on this recording, with stunning vocal harmony and instrumental accompaniment that sparkles.

for earth below/ live.......2006-11-10

robin trower for earth below. its a good, if not above average robin trower recording. a very even effort building upon the foundation laid on twice removed from yesterday and adding new guitar textures to a good blues rock sound all in all a very good record!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! robin trower live! this is the one that put robin in heavy rotation on the a.o.r. f.m. radio. a great quick shot of robins live set up until the mid 70's. i wish they could find complete concerts from this era of robins career because he was on fire during this time.

Two Great Trower Albums At One Low Price.......2006-08-01

FOR EARTH BELOW/LIVE is a single-disc compilation of two great Robin Trower albums from the 70s. LIVE is one of the best live albums ever released, and FOR EARTH BELOW was a great follow-up to the exceptional BRIDGE OF SIGHS. Any serious fan of blues-based rock & roll should own this one.

Two Of Trower's Best.......2006-07-10

Any rock fan knows that "Bridge Of Sighs" is one of the best rock albums of all time.
But if you love "Bridge" you must have these 2 albums. "Bridge" is an A+ but these are both A's. "For Earth Below" is an incredible follow up to "Bridge". It keeps the same feel but the song writing is even tighter. "Trower Live" is one of the best live rock records ever made. The feedback ferocity and finesse on "Daydream" is worth the price alone. If you like Trower, these are must have LP's.

Great Artist, Poor CD Quality.......2006-02-25

Robin Trower deserves 10 stars. Problem is, this CD sounds like it was recorded to cassette first and then burned on a CD later. Very "muffled" sound and needs to be turned up higher to get the same output as other CDs in my collection.

Guitar never sounded better.......2006-02-10

The critical album on this release is "Live." Anyone curious to hear how good an electric guitar can possibly sound should purchase this CD. Trower deals in both overdriven and clean sounds with his Fender Strat, and his use of effects like the wah-wah pedal and the Uni-Vibe, while sometimes drawing unfair and shallow comparisons to Hendrix, is unparallelled in grace and style.

When Trower unleashes a sustained feedback note (i.e. near the end of "Daydream"), I want it to last thirty minutes. But he's also capable of dramatic bursts and flurries of notes, punctuated by bends and whammy bar workouts ... as Robert Fripp himself noted, Robin Trower has mastered the "bends and wobbles."

During the last solo of "Lady Love," Trower plays a pinch harmonic that is THE sweetest single note I ever heard, anywhere.

Jimmy Dewar lays down a great bass groove throughout - and his voice is quite powerful. He has a rich, soulful vibrato that compliments the music nicely.

Bill Lordan is a good, jazzy drummer, although occasionally his cymbals do clutter the sound, especially on the live album. But let's face it, the reason we are all listening to this is to hear what Robin is gonna play next :)

I could write pages about how great this CD is - do not wait a minute longer. Order it!

Aaron's vocals sounded just like he was singing at a close family members funeral. He felt everything! My husband and I are using this track for our funerals, along with the track right after.

One of the best live albums...........2006-07-21

The Nevilles defy description... they move from r&b to funk to
reggaeto rock without missing a beat....for fans, this is a must have, as it captures their live performances extremely well.....If you have a chance, go see them live....

A live album that rocks.......2001-06-30

This is an excellent live album from 1994 that showcases each of the brothers' talents. As well as the other band members. A lot of the songs are over 5 and 6 minutes long which leaves some room for some great jamming. This album is a must for any fan, it will make you wish that you could see them live, if you haven't already. "Her African Eyes" is a great instrumental by Charles which showcases his sax playing....really wonderful.

Grooves Hard.......1999-12-06

I'm a fan of funk and R&B, and this CD is one of my favorites. The drums and percussion are especially inspiring, and there is a nice mix of slow and fast tunes, both as straight up and ballads.

Like his jazz counterpart Jai Uttal, Krishna Das is a U.S. native whose life was changed forever by the discovery of the Hindu religion. Yet unlike Uttal, who has explored the realms of world and jazz music and collaboration, Das has focused his energies toward the art of Indian classical chant exclusively. The result is a long career of spreading the love and spirituality of the Hindustani tradition while gleaning a large following that's included the likes of Sting and Madonna. But this isn't the reason to respect Das, rather his investment in using chant to heal, find the grace of God, and purify the soul. Though Das's voice falls somewhat flat on this two-CD album, he's accompanied by a wonderful gaggle of percussionists, whose layered cadences create a tapestry as rich in color and detail as an Indian ragamala itself. The accompanying choir of some 20 chanters is the other highlight, offering a cold salve to Das's harsh, monotonous tone. But after all, the point of chant is to invoke God, not please the ear, and if this is your goal, Live on Earth well satisfies. --Karen K. Hugg

Customer Reviews:

A Must Buy!.......2007-07-02

I first heard Krishna Das on a You Tube video. Luckily someone had left a message as to who was singing. Krishna Das was a disciple of Indian holy man Neem Karoli Baba in the early 70's. He brought back to America a love of Hindu devotional songs, or kirtans. The music on this two CD set should be in everyone's collection. Krishnas Das sings in a lower register with some backing by a chorus of mostly female voices. Many of the songs repeat the lyrics over and over, which gives them the feeling of chanting a mantra. Hanuman Chaleesa on the first CD is worth the price of admission alone. Run out and get this music.

Hindoo Hootenanny!.......2006-02-05

I bought this recording years ago as a result of a positive review in the New York Times. But that was a very busy period in my life and I only listened to it once or twice and didn't really pay much attention. But yesterday I found this among a mountain of unsorted CDs and put it on. I love this whole 2-CD album! There's something very infectious and uplifting about it. Analyzing it, the melodies are not all that different from the folk music of the 50s and early 60s, but the words are in Sanskrit (I assume) and the musical instruments are Southeast Asian. The result is a good-spirited concert reminiscent of the old hootenannies. This is Peace and Love time. Or Be-In/Love-In time. I've been playing this 2-CD album solidly for the past two days. It has put me in a good mood. The lyrics are translated in the accompanying booklet, but the type is so small that I find it difficult to read. But no matter, these are religious songs, sung prayers and hymns of praise.

In general I don't care for background music, but I think this works very well in that capacity just as mood music. I can't promise that it will affect everyone the way it has affected me, but I've found it very uplifting. How can I not give it five stars?

Ramine of all times.......2005-08-11

This CD is definitely a stress buster. One feels in control after listening to his CD's and feel they can fight the world. It induces self-satisfaction, contentment and happiness.

The best of Krishna.......2004-02-10

All of Krishna Das' music should be standard equipment on any new vehicle in this day and age, with over population and crazy drivers, air bags being just underneath that. For if these mantras were playing in your stereo there may be no need for the later.
In all seriousness, Krishna Das will bring your spirit to a new level and erase your stress. This coming from someone who hadn't spent much time in the spiritual realm...until now! Get any of his CD's and he may unlock a part of you, you never knew existed.

KD's Best Work Yet.......2003-12-24

I have been a devotional singer for many years and have most everything that is available. I have all of KD's other releases and "Live on Earth" is his best work yet and I don't normally like live performances. With the exception of a few live "mistakes" that would normally be edit out, you wouldn't know this was a live CD.

LOE has both a perfectly balanced devtional and energetic feel to it which is the sign of a good kirtan/bhajan. Even my Indian devotional singing friends who are usually very picky when it comes to devotional music, all love "Live on Earth". Most all of KD's good tracks from his other releases are on LOE so with this you have his best. If you have only one KD CD, this is the one.

Intergalactic Space Crusaders........2006-01-07

This live cd and dvd preformance portrays the very best of Arjen Anthony Lucassen's Star One project and Ayreon project. Some of the vocalists are Russel Allen (Symphony X), Floor Jansen (After Forever), and Irene Jansen (Ayreon) among many others. The blaze through a set that spans "Space Metal", "Into the Electric Castle", "The Universal Migrator (both parts)" ,and "Actual Fantasy." Some highlights are the Stargate-like set in which Floor and Irene spend a lot of the time singing beautifully, the drum and bass solos, and the dueling guitar and keyboard segment. If you are a fan of any of Arjen's projects or like very complex progressive metal with elaborate concept albums then this is a must buy. I shall be listening to "Intergalactic Space Crusaders", one of the best songs ever!

One of the best live albums I have ever heard.......2004-11-23

This is the 2 CD set with the DVD of Star One's live performance.

You are really lucky to hear a good live album, especially with the highly overproduced CD's of today. No overdubs and its unlikely that the singer can sing as high or clear as on the CD. But not so here. Arjen surrounds himself with good singers and musicians, and the sound is huge. True, some of the lyrics are cheesy, and Robert doesn't do so well in spots, but the live versions are often better than the studio versions, with a higher energy.

Standout tracks are "Songs on the Ocean", "Dawn of a Million Souls" (my personal favorite), "Into the Black Hole" (Damian is great here), "Valley of the Queens", and "Isis and Osiris". All are much better than the studio tracks and some have different arrangements which make them better live. Russell Allen and Damian are vocally great. Floor and Irene Jansenn mesh together perfectly. Irene compliments Floor's voice very well. Peter Vink's bass and Ed Warby's drums tones are huge. Arjen's guitar tone is also very good.

The DVD is good. According to Arjen's notes he never intended on releasing the DVD. It was recorded with one or two cameras and sound off the board. Then two fans submitted their extra video shots from in the crowd and they mixed them together into the video. It is surprisingly smooth, although a couple of times seems out of sync (hence the previous reviewer's comment on Robert's lip syncing). The stage is really small for so many singers/players. But overall my friend and I liked the DVD.

Arjen's "Human Equation" CD is in my CD player at home and I listen to it all the time. Star One live is my main car CD rotation.

The best $20 you could spend!.......2004-02-29

This, my friends, is THE best live album I have ever purchased. It comes with 2 CDs and one DVD of an amazing 2+ hour show that will completely floor you (no pun intended). Performed by Guitarist/Singer/Keyboardist mastermind Arjen Lucassen, keyboardist Joost Van Den Broek, bassist Peter Vink, drummer Ed Warby, and special guest flutist Ewa Albering. But the stars of the show are the singers- Symphony X's Russel Allen, Threshold's Damian Wilson, After Forever's Floor Jansen, her sister Irene Jansen, and finally, the very freaky Robert Soeterboek.

The show in Rijssen, Holland, "lifts off", and you're on a nonstop thrillride all the way until the end. Whether the music is loud and the lights are flashing, or it's slowed down and the keyboards are haunting, there's never a dull moment. An amazing array of material is performed, not just Star One. There are about half a dozen Star One songs, and then there are tracks from every Ayreon album. Fans of Into the Electric Castle will really enjoy the spot on (or really, improved) playing of Isis and Osiris, The Amazing Flight in Space (in which Arjen and Joost have a soloing battle/shoving match, truly hilarious), Valley of the Queens (this is a real gem, an accoustic ballad with Floor doing a superb job), The Castle Hall, and in the encore, Two Gates. The rest of the songs are quite flawless as well. Songs like The Dream Sequencer are amazingly improved with the energy of a live setting.

The DVD also includes some bonus features that didn't have to be there, but certainly aren't bad. A humurous set of behind the scenes footage, an additional encore/closing song Space Truckin, which didn't fit on the audio CDs, two songs from the show in Tilburg, and a nice photo gallery. Not shabby. None of what you're getting in this package is shabby, and again I'll say, it's a fantastic deal. You're getting the entire show in CD and DVD format, for the price of what would be one DVD alone.

In conclusion- if you're a fan of progressive rock/metal music, even if you don't particularly enjoy Sci Fi and Fantasy subjects, get this album. It is surely one of the best live shows you'll ever seen recorded, period.

Russell Allen voice is amazing.......2004-01-25

You will never hear a more perfect Rock voice than Allen. It really shows because he is along side some other very talented singers.

He is like Paul Rodger, Steve Walsh, and Ronnie James Dio all in one but better.

Great buy with the dvd thrown in there

Hilarious but excellent at the same time.......2004-01-21

This is an excellent CD/DVD package. Musically, this is heavy, progressive and driving, but melodic at the same time. A few songs remind me of the band Rainbow especially "Set your controls". Great choice and range of vocalists here; Robert Soterberg being the David coverdale lookalike baratone( he is also a terrible lip-sinker, actually he is quite hillarious at times, especially when he begins to sing a song too early-watch the DVD and see for yourself), Russell Allen has a great all round voice and Damien Wilson having a slightly higher tonal range.
From my point of view, the star performer and suprise here is Damien Wilson. This guy is incredible, what a fantastic singer. A very talented performer, the song "into the black hole" is fantastic due to the powerful and haunting Wilson vocals.
This Arjen guy is also very talented. This was the 1st time I had heard any of his stuff and I was impressed with the quality and depth of songs. A very good buy.

the killer live.......2007-06-27

this is a great live c. d. one of his best buy it

A key period in the life of a great performer.......2003-08-26

There was a burst of time when Jerry Lee was just getting out of the dog house after the scandalization of his marriage to Myra Gale. Captured on this CD are two performances, one in Birmingham and one in Houston, where you get the full Jerry Lee Lewis experience, not just the music tracks, but the killer addressing his audience, philosophizing, talking about his links with the people who first did the music, and then he and the Memphis beats performing.
That is really the best of what JLL offers, is an ioverall experience not just his music, but his mind and the way he ties to gether RB, western swing, country, gospel, and blues and white rock and roll all together. The other recording in this series advertised on these pages is his great concert at the Star Club in Hamburg where the Beatles first blossomed and where killer was acclaimed.
It is sad there is no recording of what truly was one of the greatest life shows ever, the joint appearance of JLL and Little Richard on a British Rock show as part of the European leg of the tour (I think it was either Top of the Pops or Ready Steady Go) which sent the audience into true riot dimensions.
Anyway, I have been listening to these performances (which used to be out on two different records and cassettes)for about 25 years. I hope to list 25 more!

IT IS,IT IS, ...almost.......2002-07-23

This live set came on the heels of THE GREATEST live show,JLL's Live at the STARCLUB several months earlier. This set DOES ROCKNROLL ,make no mistake!! Hi HEEL SNEAKERS is the show stopper for my money,the entire set moves nicely along,Jerry gives credit to all those he covers and everytime I hear a version of Charlie Rich's Who Will the Next Fool BE,I think of Jerry's intro to it from this set,they don;t make em like this anymore,in fact,few ever have.You gotta have this one in your collection,JLL fan.or not.

Real Rock.......2001-11-27

If you are tired of all the so called pop, rap, et.al. listen to this, this is real Rock at its best. If you can sit still listening to this, you are dead.

I saw this show live !.......1999-04-24

I saw this show live at the Whiteland Barn in Whiteland Indiana on a Sunday night sometime in 1961or62.The "Barn" was the hottest thing going at the time. Because Indiana was a "dry" state on Sundays and we always stocked up the night befor for the dance I met for the first time,Jerry Lee,and a girl he introduced as his sister;Sherry Lee.we drank whisky for awhile talked and laughted around.Then it was show time.It was one of the best concerts that I have ever seen. The play list contains some of the best tunes of the period,the energy of jerry lee that night was pure insanity.If you want to hear the killer on top of his game,buy this CD and turn in up real loud.

stunning studio album in creamy stereo.......2004-08-05

This studio album of Weill and Gershwin's LADY IN THE DARK features the lovely Rise Stevens making the role of Liza Elliott her own, with Adolph Green in the role that made Danny Kaye a star in the original production.

This sumptuous reissue on the Columbia 'Masterworks Heritage' label presents the recording in creamy stereo, with the orchestra under the baton of Lehman Engel. Rise Stevens is perhaps the best singer to have played Liza on any recording of LADY IN THE DARK. The trained opera singer lets her hair down for the manic "Saga of Jenny", and yields glowing versions of "My Ship" and "One Life to Live". Also featured among the cast are John Reardon and Stephanie Augustine.

My only qualm about the release is the horrid packaging. The disc is enclosed in a cardboard sleeve at the back of a booklet-style slipcase, leaving the CD vulnerable to scratches and dust (I remedied the problem by putting the CD in a separate plastic jewel case and filing it on the shelf next to the empty booklet case). However this should not deter collectors and musical theatre fans from seeking out this lovely recording.

STELLAR STAR!.......2003-01-03

MISS STEVENS shinesas Liza Eliot in this perfect recording of "Lady in the Dark". [For the first time - with repect to the other artists - the lyrics are pristine!] THE recording? IF you own a 'surround system' - this one IS flawless - just a perfect balance of voice and instrument. [A great restoration job - if only they could do the same to the Lawrence version....]

FOR the collector - get all three recordings currently available - the 1997 London version is the most complete, the Gertrude Lawrence? It's more of a Star Vehicle for Miss Lawrence - lots of dialogue - with really only the two "Liza' numbers - "Saga of Jenmny" and "My Ship" intact - but also well worth the journey.

AS A BONUS - Miss Stevens recording contains the Danny Kaye contribution missing from the Gertrude Lawrence recording - plus his versions of "My Ship" and "The Saga of Jenny".

There IS a more complete recording. . ........2000-12-06

This recording is terrific, but for a more complete recording with much better quality, look for the Original Cast Recording from the Royal National Theatre Production. It's got all the bridging music which is phenomenal.

Great Fun.......1999-04-15

Until the definitive full version of the score comes out--with all the bridging material and orchestral interludes--this is probably the most complete of one of the greatest and most charming classic Broadway scores (and probably Ira Gershwin's masterpiece). Rise Stevens was born to play the part, and though at times she gets a bit excessive (especially in the dialogue) her voice is beautiful and confident (a high point is her counterpointing the chorus during "The Best Years of His Life"), and iat times really soars, as in "This is new." Adolph Green is hilarious--it's a great tragedy he never got to play this role on Broadway.

A fun, if abbreviated, recording.......1999-04-02

A nifty performance of one of Broadway's classic scores. The biggest problem is that just about everything is slightly abridged (mostly verses, connecting material, dialogue underscoring and choral repeats--although if I'm reading the vocal score right, most of this would still be interesting to listen to); still, a reasonably good taste of the whole thing. The liner notes also don't really give a story synopsis, so if you aren't familiar with the plot, seek out a summary so you aren't completely confused by what is going on. Rise Stevens' acting is pretty mannered, and she goes over the top vocally every now and then; she seems to be shouting, not singing at the end of "Jenny." Adolph Green is hysterically funny and acquits himself supremely well in "Tchaikovsky." How you'll enjoy the appendix of Danny Kaye's recordings depends on how much you like Danny Kaye--enough said.
