Roll My Blues Away

Amazon.com
On Roll My Blues Away, Tony Furtado combines his bluegrass banjo past and his slide-guitar blues future with a haunting, spare elegance that marks this as a superior acoustic-instrumental. Like Fleck and Cooder, Furtado has learned that the liberation of acoustic music lies not in playing more notes faster but in playing fewer notes with more feeling. On this album's 10 original instrumentals and two traditional songs, the arrangements are stripped down to focus on the strong melodies. His guitar sounds weary but content on the lovely Tex-Mex ballad, "Song for Early"; his banjo evokes the prickly dissatisfaction of the slow blues, "Willow Tree"; he plays both guitar and banjo on the nervous, restless tune, "The Stark Raven." --Geoffrey Himes

Amazon.com essential recording

This is a considerably expanded version of the soundtrack album to Vincente Minnelli's Oscar-winning film. With two discs and 100 minutes of music (much of which is presented for the first time), these original session masters are highlighted by the MGM Studio Orchestra, Oscar Levant, Benny Carter, and Gene Kelly, all of whom perform such memorable Gershwin tunes as "Someone to Watch Over Me," "Love Is Here to Stay," and "S'Wonderful." Just about all of the material has a monotonously mono sound, but Levant's version of "Concerto in F" is included here for the first time in true stereo. Along with several Levant improvisational piano solos based on Gershwin's music, there are also some outtakes as well as extensive production and historical notes. --Joseph Lanza

Magic of love.......2007-03-10

Nothing but Gene and George: the hard work and the happiness in music, conducting by the magician Vince.
Noone is better, noone could do better.
American masterpiece with european feelings.

Filled with musical gems.......2004-02-17

This comprehensive edition is a must have for fans of the movie and of the Gershwins. The outtakes, contrary to the first review above, are excellent. Gene Kelly offers a wonderful vocal of "I've Got a Crush on You" and his short riff on "'S Wonderful" is almost like an acoustic version, much different than the over-the-top duet in the movie. And the Oscar Levant piano pieces are as close to George sitting down at the keys as we're going to get.

TOO LONG !!!!!!!!!!!.......2002-06-17

I would not suggest buying this version of this sondtrack!!! The underscores and the extra tracks that are not featured in the film are not neccesary. Rhino records puts the extras out to jack up the price of the CD (making one LP into 2 CDs).
I would buy the ORIGINAL CAST SOUNDTRACK released by MGM records. You will enjoy this version ever so much more without all the extras!!!

GERSHWIN'S TALENT.......2001-08-12

Many agree that the talented George Gershwin is a fabulous pianist, and alongside Ira, he helped to create some of the most beloved music ever. After viewing the movie that was filled with song and dance, I was pleased to discover that the soundtrack was readily available. The plot of An American in Paris mainly focuses on the lives of three friends and their dreams in addition to the romance that they encounter in the most popular European city. Gene Kelley is a struggling artist who soon falls in love, and the many songs in this cd express his emotions. Who wouldn't want to dance to Gershwin's spectacular tunes such as "Embraceable You?" These original songs included in this two cd set are well worth the price. Furthermore, "I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise" is a true favorite with unique lyrics. Don't miss out on this must have cd collection.

Ga Ga for Gershwin.......2000-12-13

Nearly every popular Gershwin tune is represented here, either as an instrumental, a vocal, or a production number. I am not a big fan of the film, but the soundtrack is fabulous. There are some stereo tracks here, too. Yet another triumph in the Turner/Rhino soundtrack collection of MGM films.As a sidenote I would like to thank Rhino for their extremely co-operative staff. When I bought this CD I opened up the very extensive booklet and was disappointed to find that due to an error on the assembly line I had received an insert that had some pages repeated and others deleted. I contacted Rhino and they sent me a new booklet which arrived within a week! That's what I call excellent customer service. The really neat thing is the fact that I have both booklets. The flubbed copy is sort of a collector's item to me.

Customer Reviews:

Slide Heaven.......2005-09-23

A master of the slide guitar, and this album shows the nuances he's capable of. The vocals are great and the licks are fantastic.

The door opens.......2005-04-15

Every once in a great while, as a fan of music, you are allowed the opportunity to watch someone grow as a musician. You attend the shows, buy the CDs and hope for the best. For Tony Furtado, an exceptionally gifted musician by anyone's standards, the breakthrough was "Roll My Blues Away."

Before this CD I had always considered Tony a Bluegrass player. While I enjoy Bluegrass, it can be somewhat limiting in its appeal. This is the CD, the MOMENT, in which Tony changed that perception. This CD is blues, jazz, country, blues-grass and way too much fun. This CD took Tony from Bluegrass to Americana, embracing many forms of American music and blending them all in a seamless flow of emotion and positive energy.

I smile every thime I think of this CD. I own three copies.. one for home, work and my car. The "Waterslide" and "Can you Hear the Rain?" are staples of the live Furtado performance. Every song is well recorded, clean, energetic and comfortable. The music challanges and invites. There isn't a bad "cut" on the CD. My only regret is that we had to wait another year or so for Tony to sing!

A Great Piece of Work.......2004-03-27

I saw Tony open up for Eric Johnson in Cleveland last week and he put on an amazing set. It was stipped down, just him along with his guitar/banjo/slide. If you like acoustic music that blends bluegrass & celtic sound, then I recommend "Roll My Blues Away"

Buy It for a Friend!.......2002-08-20

This is an amazing recording. I've owned it for about two years and I still listen to it almost every week. I give it to friends and family for birthday and Christmas gifts. Unless you hate acoustic music, you will like this album. Tony excels at both slide guitar and banjo, and his guests (Kelly Jo Phelps, for instance) are a nice touch. I've seen Tony play live several times, and he never fails to thrill me with his bluesy, celtic, bluegrass-tinged, old timey, newfangled music.

A Cut Above USDA Prime.......2002-05-14

Don't be lookin for bluegrass licks on this album - it is pure funk. Delightful, melodious, extremely listenable. This cd has a great mixture of tunes and styles so you won't get bogged down in that same-ol' same-o.
It's a little embarrasing that a guy from Florida had to tell me about a musician that lives a couple of miles from me, but I'm damn glad he did.

Barrelhouse/Boogie Woogie/Texas Swing.......1999-12-24

Bought on a whim, this turns out to be my cd purchase of the decade. Sent a copy to my brother for Christmas. His reaction:

Beautiful low down, gut bucket, honky tonk, juke joint, barrelhouse, bluesabilly thang; I love it!

Add Texas swing to the list and you've got it. This is a gem.

'Swonderful and Fascinatin'.......2001-09-24

A slim volume of Gershwin's own arrangements of his popular songs exists, and has been recorded by many pianists. Unfortunately, these arrangements exist for only a scant few of Gershwin's songs, and they are rather abbreviated and dare I say it? Unsatisfying. Enter Jack Gibbons. Mr. Gibbons has meticulously researched George Gershwin's own playing of these pieces, from old radio shows, movie soundtracks, and other archival sources and he plays them exactly the way the composer did. He kids you not about "authentic". This is about as close as you can get to the source, and the recorded sound is spectacular. Bravo!

"Authentic"? George Gershwin?.......2003-09-26

I was instantly dissapointed in the mechanical, yet inaccurate rhythms. His interpretation of piano roll performances is not accurate because the beat is not even. In his non-piano roll performances, there is still a lot of unevenness, and it is hard to hear the beat. In those wonderful Gershwin syncopations that trick you, he is tricked and doesn't maintain the proper rhythm. The "American in Paris" is perhaps the most interesting, and shows the most artistic playing, although it still lacks subtlety. I would have prefered to hear the actual piano rolls as mechanical as they are, or other old recordings, and have a better idea of what was really happening in the music.

Authentic Gershwin.......2001-05-30

Jack Gibbons captures the flair and exhuberance of Gershwin's style.

Excellent performer.......2000-01-17

After seeing Jack Gibbons in concert, I can see why the Gershwin family trusted him with the original works for Jack to master. Truly a collection to own. There are 4 CD's.
