Vintage Jerry Jeff.......2002-10-12

This is a great listen. Bojangles and My Old Man are favorites. I saw Jerry Jeff some yrs back at a small club. Just him and 3 guitars. Near the end of the show, I asked Jerry Jeff for "My Old Man" he put down his Ovation Electric and picked up his D28 saying "This is the right one that one." He started singing the song and I could see it was a very personal song for him. He filled to the brim of his hat with raw soul and got through it. After the last note he set the guitar back on it's stand dipped his head and said "Train Time" and he was gone. One of the greatest performances I ever saw.

The Incredible Hulk and the Real Bojangles.......2002-04-27

This is early Jerry Jeff (1968), part country/bluegrass, part rock and part folk, from back in the days when musical experiments across genres were newsworthy and important. The sound is stripped down and intimate, as if the band were performing in your living room. Today's recordings lack this relaxed spontaneity. Jerry Jeff's songwriting is as good as he ever got, his singing is gimmick-free and straight-up, and the band, led by bluegrasser David Bromberg, has an appealingly loose, rolling sound. The drummer Bill LaVorgna gets credit for a lot of the punch offered by this music, with his off-tempo whacks at the canvas, especially on "The Ballad of the Hulk". The mood shifts from song to song, including gorgeous ballads and up-tempo country rockers.

There are two standout songs, the world-famous "Mr. Bojangles" and "The Ballad of the Hulk." "Bojangles" is the only truly well-known song Jerry ever wrote, but his own version - the best - is not one of those more often played. Only Sammy Davis Jr. did another version really worth listening to. The song actually appears twice on the CD - in it's album version (without strings) and the single version (with). Jerry himself disparages the strings, but I think they are done nicely and it's great to be able to choose to hear one or the other. "The Ballad of the Hulk" (based on the comic strip character The Incredible Hulk") is no ballad. It is an humorous-angry epic of social commentary, set to rollicking drums, fast acoustic picking and a snappy organ - 7 minutes long and well worth a careful listen. The line about a "twisted priest advising me how to raise a home and family" rings a bell given today's (and I do mean TODAY's) headlines.

Any fan of Jerry Jeff Walker should have this, and even those who don't care for the "outlaw" Texas troubador he has been since the 70s might find this appealing - even compelling music.

Early Jerry Jeff at its best.......1999-04-21

You can definately tell, in listening to this album and more recent ones, how Walker's voice has matured and his music progressed. The CD contains many early Jerry Jeff essintials, including the original Little Bird, I Makes Money Money dont Make Me, and my favorite, Maybe Mexico. A number of the songs reflect Walker's discontent with his place in life as a young musician--this is Jerry Jeff Walker's music before he found his click singing songs about Texas.

I'm just talkin' 'bout Sammy.......2003-03-17

John Shaft is just one of the incredible theme songs that make this Sammy collection wonderful, memorable, and more than worth its bargain price. All eleven songs included here are just fantastic. As a big fan of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, it is a great thrill to hear Sammy perform Love Is All Around and show what a great song it truly is in its own right. The theme from Shaft is great fun indeed; such a hip song being sung by the coolest cat of them all is a special treat. I also have nothing but praise to shower upon Sammy's amazing live version of Over the Rainbow. Few indeed are the singers I would allow to sing Judy Garland's trademark song, and my immense confidence in Sammy is more than justified here. The song begins with over a minute's worth of material unknown to me, and from this great beginning Sammy transitions into one of the most emotional, passionate performances of Over the Rainbow I have ever heard; it is simply incredible. One of the most amazing songs on this album is MacArthur Park, a moving song which Sammy infuses with touching nostalgia and melancholia. Two less familiar tracks shine among the gems of this collection: Keeping Out of Mischief Now and All the Things You Are (which is not the more famous song of that title I was expecting). That's Entertainment is a short song, but the background of a full chorus makes it quite distinctive. The Candy Man and The People Tree are great songs available elsewhere, The Birth of the Blues is a show-stopper strewn throughout any number of Sammy CDs (although the version on this CD is a less familiar live version of the track), and Mr. Bojangles is easily recognizable as the song that came to define Sammy Davis Jr. toward the end of his life. The combination of familiar favorites and fascinating, unique tracks of some rarity (all of which date back to the early 1970s with the exception of 1964's Keeping Out of Mischief Now) makes this particular CD a marvelous addition to the music library of any Sammy enthusiast.

Woweeeee.......2004-05-27

You cannot watch Robbie Williams perform a song without feeling every expression on his face and move that he makes. This song will make you weep.

Check out all his other stuff, (particularly on dvd if you haven't seen him live)as he is simply the most exciting performer of his generation.
