Untamed

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
As the name suggests, Yankee Grey suffer from an identity crisis. Based in Cincinnati, Ohio, the band debuted with the single "All Things Considered," an odd and jittery rhythm number that attempted to blend urban angst, Texas pride, and Southern rock. Instead, it simply irritated whoever heard it. The rest of this uneven album skitters around the perimeters of '80s rock, but Yankee Grey, with their layered vocals and tight instrumental approach, can't decide if they want to be Restless Heart, Boston, or Exile, with a Charlie Daniels-like boogie and fiddle flourish. That leaves them with the occasional fetching song ("Another Nine Minutes," a celebration of early-morning amour), and the distinctive vibe that you've heard it all before. --Alanna Nash

Album Description

Bob Dylan stated, "Roscoe Holcomb has a certain untamed sense of control, which makes him one of the best." Eric Clapton called Holcomb "my favorite [country] musician." Holcomb's white-knuckle performances reflect a time before radio told musicians how to play, and these recordings make other music seem watered-down in comparison. His high, tense voice inspired the term "high lonesome sound." Self-accompanied on banjo, fiddle, guitar, or harmonica, these songs express the hard life he lived and the tradition in which he was raised. Includes his vintage 1961 "Man of Constant Sorrow."

4 out of 5 stars there's a really cool picture on the back i just noticed.......2005-05-23

mr holcomb doesn't sound very healthy. each song is sort of like a prolonged whiskey-laden death rattle. but they're also very full of life. as sweet as his voice is, i think my favorite songs here are the few instrumentals. "knife guitar" just rocks.

5 out of 5 stars A real gem, Thank You John Cohen.......2004-11-16

John's long essay on Roscoe Holcomb the person that comes in the booklet with the CD is worth the price of the CD. Cohen describes the contrast between Holcomb's recognition as a folk musician on a national level while he struggled to make a living in his home in Kentucky where the only result of his national fame was that he was cut from the public assistance he received.There are some sections of letters Roscoe sent Cohen that speak to Holcomb's struggle with life.

If anyone wants to see this illustrated, pick up the film John Cohen made called High Lonesome Sound (make sure you get John's film not the several copy cats later made about bluegrass using similar names). You see the contrast between Roscoe's old time music that seemed to be left behind by all the people around him for Nashville drivel or rock and roll. You see a determined hard working man proud to stick out like a hard horny thumb with his music in a world going another direction.

We get reminded here of the multiple sources of Holcomb's music. Rather than being the product of some prestine tradition, Holcomb's tunes and his ways of playing them show the profound mixture of cultures and influences that marked him and the mountain communities. We old English ballads played on blues harmonica, traditional unaccompanied sounding songs learned from 1950s Bluegrass records, and, of course, the blues blues blues played on guitar, banjo, and harp. We even have Roscoe Fiddling.

There are some nice versions of songs we're accustomed to hear in other people's versions like Darling Corey, Little Maggie, I Ain't Got no Sugar Baby Now.

Holcomb's music is a good antidote to current trends in revivalist old time music that tend to want to reduce fiddling and banjo playing to one or two regional styles--not real even regional but narrow local or even family styles-as doctrinally reinterpreted and "taught" by one or two virtuosi. Other variations, or having your own individual styles tends to be frowned on.

Yet, Roscoe Holcomb's unique style and fascinating music speak to that fact that traditional music in this country encompassed thousands of styles, regional styles, personal styles, left such great room for the personal expression of a true artist like Holcomb who could make each tune his own tune, not just a representative of some general type. It speaks to all the opportunities for ideas about music to flow to someone from old traditions, the radio, records, and people of all kinds coming up and down the mountains.

Likewise contemporary old time music focuses almost exclusively on fiddle tunes and banjo versions of them, without much recognition or orientation to songs sung for their content and expression. Yet, such songs are at the heart of Roscoe's work on both of the CDs. He uses his music fundamentally not only to move dancers around floors, which I am sure Roscoe could do and do well, but to concentrate the utter meaning of the songs to his life into his performances.

Finally, much contemporary old time music seems to follow the white flight middle class population that produces it and their fantasies about a less diverse past and the white purity of the music. Holcomb's music is so infused with blues and African American influence that when Cohen met Holcomb the first time and asked what he did, Roscoe Holcomb said he was a "blues singer!"

5 out of 5 stars The greatest exponent of American mountain music.......2003-07-22

My wife gave an earlier Holcomb recording several years ago as a birthday gift. After listening to it once or twice (and reading the fascinating and impassioned liner notes), I set it aside as odd, strange, and most peculiar. Although Roscoe Holcomb is a fluid instrumentalist, his voice is so high and unusual that I did not see how his songs could bear repeated listening.

I was wrong, about as wrong as a body could be. A couple of years later, I picked up "High Lonesome Sound" again and listened to it with care. The peculiar and high-pitched voice grew on me, and I found the powerful and honest delivery moving in the most compelling way. I now think that Roscoe Holcomb stands on a par with Blind Willie Johnson (in his time an equally obscure and strange singer) as one of the greatest exponents of American-born and bred music.

Imagine my surprise when this new recording of Holcomb's was released. To my amazement, the leftovers that were not included in Holcomb's earlier ("High Lonesome Sound") album are at least as good. This is a wonderful and astonishing set of recordings. Lovers of American mountain music should be grateful that this legacy of Holcomb's great artistry has been preserved.

5 out of 5 stars Roscoe Holcomb: Beautiful Untamed Master.......2003-07-14

This review is for AN UNTAMED SENSE OF CONTROL and also for THE HIGH LONESOME SOUND.

After many years of listening to the recordings of Roscoe Holcomb, of letting myself become intimately open to and familiar with them, of brooding upon them, then listening some more, I am convinced (conviction) that the true reason that Roscoe Holcomb has never become widely recognized and acknowledged in America as one of the greatests artists to ever live out some seventy odd years on it soil is not because he spent most of his life in the little backwoods community of Daisy, Kentucky where people have strange, unpleasant accents. Or rather I should say that that is only the apparent reason, the pretext. It is rather because wider American "culture, can not embrace expression of such depth and intensity of unfiltered feeling, such depth of undecorated honesty, such depth and directness of response to life, such depth of raw, unpretentious beauty, such depth of blazing strength and haunted vulnerability, and such fierceness of unambitious artistic focus, without being intensely confronted by its own utter mediocrity.
American 'culture', which has been reduced to the hustling entertainment of an endless carnival, is tyranically controlled by capitalistic business interests and academic prejudice and pretension (backed by more capitalism). Its dominant characteristic on all levels is manipulation and self-interest. Its pseudo-passion is akin to simple lust. Roscoe Holcomb's genuine passion is a raw response to, and an unpretentious but fiercely focused hunger for, truth. He is a guileless, intelligent, aware, sensitive, gifted Kentucky 'hillbilly' who is far too large in soul to be drawn in by the smug, meretricious banality of American 'culture'. He is a grim and beautiful reminder of what wider America might have been.
As an artist and a man, he is indifferent to the illusions of "civilized' high life, but he has no illusions about the facts of poverty and want. He is a mature, decent, gifted man trying to walk a truthful path through a bewildering maze, a man burning with life and love and suffering, and passionately confronting death and producing great art in response.
The art of his singing and playing, though clothed in Appalachian style, reaches beyond the conditioned behavior of any historical time-period, it reaches into primal emotion. He reaches into ancient, even primitive, feeling. But he is far from being unsophisticated. I am amazed by the people who claim to admire Holcomb, then submit to the terms of his critics by conceding that he is "unpolished, but...", or some such rot. Holcomb's musical knowledge, his vocal and instrumental ability, his artistic imagination and insight are highly sophisticated and anyone who can not see this simply can not see Roscoe Holcomd. The fact that Holcomb was born in a setting that afforded him no 'education' is utterly trivial and has no bearing on his artistic greatness. When, in his matchless version of LITTLE MAGGIE (UNTAMED SENSE OF CONTROL), he vocally holds that maj. 2nd (of all things!) as in the line:

low d o w n sorry man

he is being highly original and highly sophisticated. He knows exactly what he is doing, but he is not doing it for the sake of originality or sophistication, he is doing it for its artistic truth-value. And he is not incapable of 'polish'. Listen to his beautiful mellow vibrato in his a capella version of MOONSHINER (THE HIGH LONESOME SOUND). If he usually gives his music a jagged edge it is because of his conviction that it takes him closer to truth. I think here of another great and abused American artist, Herman Melville, who wrote:

"Truth uncompromisingly told will always have its jagged edges."

If you share such an interest in truth then I would suggest that you get both THE HIGH LONESOME SOUND and AN UNTAMED SENSE OF CONTROL and listen and listen and listen and learn about art and life from this master, burning intensely, though quietly, unambitiously, lost in the crowd.

5 out of 5 stars Dark Chords a Rollin, Lightnin Ever'where.......2003-07-12

His playing is like a briar thicket of notes, his voice like the wind in the holler. This album actually tops his High Lonesome release. The closer to the bone, the sweeter the meat. These are fulltilt performances, but the art is impeccable. Listen to the subtlety of "Coney Isle," and compare it to the reckless headlong flight of "Across the Rocky Mountain." And let's make Holcomb's a capella version of "Man of Constant Sorrow" our national anthem. When he sings it, I believe this song. Finally. This is a National Treasure.

Amazon.com

This intriguing collection features four neo-trad bands: Ireland's Kila and Lúnasa, plus Shooglenifty and the Peatbog Faeries from Scotland. Each uses related Gaelic sources as a jumping-off spot to destinations unknown, weaving multistrand day-glo Celtic knots by any means necessary. Downtown club styles like drum & bass, house, and techno romp amid the shamrocks and heather, but are applied with such taste, humor, and nonviolent restraint that the acoustic traditions emerge enhanced rather than extinguished. Shooglenifty's chatty, quirky "Bjork's Chauffeur" and their elegiac "August" are especially notable. Lúnasa contribute a syncopated, jazzy ode to an ancient Druidic seasonal celebration called "Bealtainne" (a bit of trivia: their name refers to another one of these). Kila's "Gwerzy," a hyperactive and uniquely merry treatment of a Breton lament, is another standout, as is a set of trance-infused jigs by the Peatbog Faeries titled "Alexander MacAskill of Berneray/Harris." --Christina Roden

Best compilation of Celt/Gael, traditional, funk, bagpipe, groove, swaying, music that makes your brain melt! I love it! Scotland Forever!!!

Steve Renfroe

5 out of 5 stars The best.......2006-01-17

As soon as I heard the snippet of "Gwerzy," I knew I had to have this CD. With the ethereal melodies of the Peatbog Faeries and the way-out-there pieces by Shooglenifty, this CD is one of those "deep cuts" gems that Celtic music fans are sure to love. "Bjork's Chauffeur" quickly became my favorite song of all time after I bought this CD. Get it. Dance to it. Scare your friends.

5 out of 5 stars ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE for celtic music fans.......2004-07-23

If you're a fan of celtic music you should not be without this CD! It has everything from fiddle, violin, bagpipes, celtic whistle and the list goes on! The songs represent a wide variety of mood that covers . . ., well, everything. You've got your upbeat jig from Shooglenify on track 3. A surreal solemness on track 8 and everything in between from the rest of these to-be-treasured tracks. I'm picky with my music and if it doesn't have a certain something, that conveyance of emotion, I don't take the time to review it. This CD was well worth the money and the time for me to write this. If anyone is disappointed by this CD, I would be shocked.

5 out of 5 stars A New Twist.......2004-03-22

I own several CDs of Celtic music, but this one stands out among them as a unique example of the new face of a beautiful style of music. Shifting moods between songs adds to the impact of this wonderful collection.

This is my favorite CD that i own!! It's SOOOO good!!! Lunasa, Kila, Shooglenifty, and the Peatbog Faeries do SUCH a good job!! Wow, if you're an Irish fan, this is the CD for you! YAY!!!!!!!!! :D (check out track 4--the best!)

Customer Reviews:

2 out of 5 stars Yeesh........2003-12-04

Tacky, hyperactive, loudly rock-flavored pop-country, with Restless Heart/Exile-ish group vocals, and a blunted Southern rock edge. It's terrible. A couple of songs are almost, I repeat, almost, good, but really -- this is a terrible album.

5 out of 5 stars Just saw them live!.......2001-09-29

I also have the CD and would have to say that these guys are very good. Great songs, vocals, and mix. Personally, I prefer modern rock to country, but how anyone could say that "All Things Considered" is irritating is beyond me. The only thing I can figure is that Alanna Nash doesn't like country rock, which begs the question, why is she even reviewing this CD?

5 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT!!!.......2000-08-18

I bought this CD after seeing Yankee Grey in concert at our county fair. Let me tell you, these guys put on one heck of a show. They are EXCELLENT! I just love this CD. It has a lot of country-rock songs, but they're good - I love "All Things Considered", "Untamed", and "Another Nine Minutes". My personal favorite is "This Time Around". You can really hear the band's harmony in this song, and I just love Joe Caverlee on his fiddle in this song. It is beautiful! These guys have got major talent - you won't be disappointed in this album!

5 out of 5 stars The Most Underappreciated Album of the Year.......2000-06-14

Unfortunately for this group, this album was really overlooked by the music industry. Many reviewers shrugged it off as "another male country act trying to capitalize on the feel-good pop-country that is so popular right now". I, on the other hand, can't say enough about this debut disc and can't wait for a follow-up. It might be feel-good, rock-country but hey, who doesn't like to be in a good mood. Isn't that why we listen to music in the first place? The CD has a good mix of up-tempo songs and emotional ballads. Listeners will be delighted by the way that in their playful lyrics they left the listener to decide what they mean. For instance, in "Untamed" is he saying thing... or bang! There's quite a difference! And one of the better songs off the album "One" is entirely about proposing marriage but never says the dreaded "M" word. You will never reach for the skip button on this CD and you will wish you had bought it sooner rather than later!

5 out of 5 stars YG is Untamed!.......2000-05-03

After seeing their live show, I instantly bought the cd. Their showmanship is impeccable and the band is very personable. From the rollicking title track to the heartfelt ballads, Untamed has a track for everyone. Regardless of what the critics say, if you appreciate all forms of country music, you'll get your moneys worth here.

4 out of 5 stars the name of the hit song .......2007-06-30

i love the movie and it was truly sad...cliff eidelman did a brilliant job on the classic music. by the way the name of that hit song is TOMs diner by susan vega. that is name of that hit song that everyone is talking about. REMEMBER IT IS CALLED TOMS DINER BY SUSAN VEGA

3 out of 5 stars More a response.......2005-05-04

Cliff Eidelman is a good composer, but the CD to this movie should contain too the music played and coposed by other artists.
For more then three stars the music from Eidelman alone is not outstandig enough. The sad parts are very nice.

If you are looking for the song, when Marisa Thomai leaves the restaurant, you have to buy the CD "The trinity session" from the group "Cowboy Junkies".
The song is called "Blue moon revisited (Song for Elvis)". If i am right, the melody is based on the old song "Blue moon" from Richard Rodgers.

5 out of 5 stars What song is this?.......2005-04-26

In the beginning of the movie, Caroline goes to the diner after Steven breaks up with her. As she's leaving, Adam is watching her through the window and there's a woman's voice singing something that sounds like "Right from the start," the song continues to when Caroline is at home in bed with the presents she had bought for Steven. WHAT SONG IS THIS? I've been trying to figure it out for years!!!

4 out of 5 stars Untamed Heart Soundtrack?.......2004-12-27

I have been thinking about picking up the soundtrack for this movie.. I caught it on cable this month and love most of the songs in it.. but can anybody tell me.. Is the soundtrack mostly instrumental, or are some of the songs (like the ones by Los Lobos and Cowboy Junkies and Nat King Cole) on it??
Thanx a bunch!
Bridgette

5 out of 5 stars song?.......2004-12-23

i know everyone has written asking about songs, but nobody asked about the song thats playing in the backround at the diner in the beginning right after caroline gets dumped by "stephen". if anyone knows i would love to find it.

    this is what country music needs, if you dont like Heather Myles then you ought to stay out of the country section. every track is better then the pervious, no matter how often its played. heather has got a lovely voice that makes her music stand out from the rest. get this cd, you wont regret it !

    5 out of 5 stars Another Good One.......2006-05-15

    Another good album by Heather Myles. This is a 12 track Cd containing some of the finest country music (true country music) recorded in modern times. Noone has a voice like Heather, and in this era of plastic/disposable country music, Heather has no peers. There's not a bad song on the disc, and personal favorites include "Cadillac Cowboy" and "It Aint Over". Great sound, good packaging. A+

    5 out of 5 stars One of a kind female country singer.......2000-11-07

    This is almost the perfect CD. Heather Myles' strong voice and choice of top notch material does not require the lush production that is currently in vogue among most female country singers. I can't think of another female singer to which she can be prepared. Mandy Barnett's voice may be stonger but she continues to record sub-par songs. UNTAMED is more like listening to a female Alan Jackson CD. The instrumentation and voice inflections in a majority of the songs are close to those found in Jackson's most recent releases. A few of the uptempo swing numbers (Cadillac Cowboy and Gone Too Long) sound like Mark Chesnutt songs and the highlight of the CD (It Ain't Over) could have easily been recorded by Tracy Lawrence. The arangements are very well done and feature guitars instead of the ever present piano - thank you. If you are a fan of country music with just a little twang this CD is for you.

    5 out of 5 stars More songwriting and singing genius.......1999-06-04

    Once again Heather Myles proves herself beyond the shadow of a doubt. Bravo.

    4 out of 5 stars a real gone gasser, man!!.......2003-02-01

    no deep thoughts here. no introspective musings. no harsh critiques about society. just fun short hopping tunes about girls, cars, & beer. these boys from missouri have captured the "surf" sound better than any california band since dick dale, & this mix of obscure covers & retro originals is just the remedy for the schlock radio churns out. maybe eminem wouldnt be as upset as he is if he had listened to a little of this during his formative years.

    5 out of 5 stars All I can Say is WOW.......2004-08-29

    This is possibly the best Rockabilly band in years and years. The two albums they have are my two greatest buys. I know rockabilly, neo, traditional whatever, Ive listened for years..this is the real deal. If you are like me, enjoying a wide variety of rockabilly, this is the band you have been hoping to find, from high energy guitar riffs, growling vocals, this is the band. I guarentee this will be in your cd tray for weeks at a time. I cant say enough about Rockin Ryan and the Realgoners, except thank you! Keep rocking!

    5 out of 5 stars great late 50's style rock'n'roll and some rockabilly.......2004-08-25

    This cd captures Rockin' Ryan's wild and energetic stage presence, even though these are studio recordings. Ryan sings like a rockabilly star from around 1957, but without copying any particular 50's rockabilly icon, and therefore sounding original. This cd is different from his 1st lp, which sounded like mid 50's rockabilly, this cd is late 50's and even early 60's rock'n'roll ,with a few rockabilly and western swingy sounding tracks thrown in for good measure. The highlight of this cd is without a doubt his original "Spiderlegged Baby", where the witty lryics state "I was trying to kiss her lips, I was inbetween her hips... I was trying to kiss her face, I was inbetween her waste." A great cd, and it shows that Ryan is maturing wit hwach new release, here's looking forward to his next cd.
