The Scene of the Crying

Amazon.com
Justin Trevino grows impressively as a Texas hard-country singer, and this, his fourth album of shuffles and ballads, is his best. His sweet, trembling voice has more color and his phrasing is less showy on this survey of emotional train wrecks. There's not much in the way of upbeat songs here: if the lead track "Two Empty Glasses" sets the scene, the succeeding title song (written by his steel player Dicky Overbey) cinches it. With only one other original (by fiddler Ernie Reed), Trevino draws on material by or associated with well-known writers and singers like Jack Greene, George Jones, Justin Tubb, Johnny Paycheck, and Bill Anderson, but the material is usually so obscure that he easily fashions it into his own statement. You won't find devastating story songs like "She Didn't Color Daddy" (first done by Wynn Stewart) anywhere else. If straight-ahead, heart-hitting honky-tonk is your cup of spirits, Trevino's your man. --John Morthland

Pure Country Magic.......2003-06-22

This CD is simply amazing. When I buy CDs, usually I do some quick listening in the beginning, just to get a quick impression, this one I put in and listened from the beginning to end. In a time of cheap throwaway music, made for Top 40 stations and supermarkets, Justin Trevino comes along with another record full of classic country shuffles, a sound reminiscent of Ray Price, Mel Tillis and Johnny Bush. The record features lots of great songs, all of them 101% Country. A special word for Steel Guitar enthusiasts (I'm a Steel Player myself!): Listen to Dickie Overby and you'll know how a Steel Guitar can add the frosting to the cake! Dickie Overby is still well remembered from his work with Darrell McCall and Connie Smith in the 1960's.

Get this one as fast as you can!

shuffle across Texas.......2003-03-19

By his own testimony, Justin Trevino is one of two young artists (the other being Fort Worth's Jake Hooker) keeping the Texas honkytonk-shuffle alive -- the sort of music associated with Ray Price, Charlie Walker, Johnny Bush, and others who once rocked, or at least shuffled, many a jukebox, and not just in the Lonestar state. Trevino's talents are so immense, his immersion in the sound so total, that you can't love this kind of music and not be thrilled at what Trevino does with it. On the other hand, if your idea of country has the adjective "hot" in front of it, this probably is not for you.

Here, on his fourth CD, the 30-year-old Trevino is joined on two cuts by Wanda Jackson (on the fabulous "What Have We Done") and by Opry veteran Jimmy C. Newman (on the joyously swinging "Daydreaming"). Trevino's encyclopedic frame of country-music reference gives him access to lesser known but worthy songs from the catalogs of Bill Anderson, the late Johnny Paycheck, Mel Tillis, Jack Greene, and others. The mood is mostly dark, as is most memorable country music, but Trevino's touch is light and assured, and the songs are moving but not depressing. It's supposed to sound like this, and in Trevino's music it does.

I knew Justin in school.......2003-02-09

I went to school with Justin Trevino in high school (Lockhart High School in Lockhart, TX) and I will tell you that music was his first love then and his first love now. You could always catch him around campus with his guitar and he knew the music well. He even sold his first album to kids at school, and he would perform at assemblies and talent shows. Every note and every chord seemed embedded into memory. Months after I graduated, I came back into town and right when I came in, his name was posted on a bar marquee. I knew he would go on to big things. Last year, I did an internet search on him and he was everywhere on the internet. I have listened to samples on this album and I can say that Justin has come full circle. His voice has matured well and has got the harmonies down perfect. Even though this is not my type of music, he does a good job. Way to go, Justin.

A country inspiration.......2003-01-30

You can count on Justin Trevino to serve up country the way it was meant to be heard. On his new cd, he relies on the same great formula of pedal steel and fiddle and broken relationships. He has the guts to stay true to this tradition. What a breath of fresh air. Oh, yes, Justin's guest vocalist, Wanda Jackson, has a great voice. This is real country.

Incredible talent.......2002-11-13

Justin Trevinio is a bright spot on the country music scene. The songs on this album are a great collection of country ballads and Texas honky-tonk, in the tradition of Ray Price, Johnny Bush, or Darrell McCall. Two of my favorites are new ones. Scene of the Cryin', and The Sound that a Breaking Heart Makes.

The word "fabulous" seems vulgar when applied to the Spanish diva whose delicately shaded voice encompassed music from the middle ages to the present. This four-disc compilation emphasizes her song repertoire, to which she brought warmth, intelligence, linguistic integrity and irresistible sincerity. Her dignity makes listeners want to come to her, and she rewards them with an intimate, personal experience, especially in this small-scale repertoire by Ravel, Debussy, Duparc, Fauré, lots of Spanish composers and German masters such as Schubert and Brahms. --David Patrick Stearns

Awesome musicality.......2006-07-26

This 4-CD set is a tribute to the concert career of the great Victoria de Los Angeles. The first 3 CDs show her totally at home in the art song of France and of her native Spain. In the French art songs, her silvery, creamy tone, her legendary legato and her perfect French diction make for wonderful and unforgettable performances. These include a sensual Scheherazade, magnificient singing in the Duparc songs and a phenomenal Poeme de L'amour et de la mer of Chausson (try to keep your eyes dry by the end of La mort de l'amour). In the Chausson, while de Los Angeles does not opt for the intensely Wagnerian approach, her sensitive singing more than does justice to the poetry and the feelings of the character. The Spanish songs showcase de Los Angeles at her most natural, flamboyant and attractive singing. The tunes are catchy, full of bouncy rhythms and De Los Angeles's fabulous voice never ceases to amaze. The 4th CD shows the wonderful chemistry between de Los angeles and the great Gerald Moore. While she does not erase memories of Fischer-Dieskau and Schwarzkopf in the Schubert selections, the Brahms songs are excellent and her Faure songs here are earth shaking in their elegance and refinement. The Italian and the famous Handel aria helps to prove De Los Angeles's reputation as an excellent bel canto singer. Her duets with Fischer-Dieskau are absolutely memorable and gorgeous.
The set comes with booklet including full words plus translations, helpful notes on De Los Angeles's concert career and a dozen of beautiful and rare black and white photos. Victoria de Los Angeles's concert career was as prolific as her legendary operatic performances and continued well after her retirement from the operatic stage. This introspective and almost encycopledic release is a real treat and is absolutely recommended. I totally agree with the editor's review who states that the word "fabulous" fails in every respect to fully capture the artistry of the Spanish soprano. Victoria de Los Angeles is definitely one of the most wonderful lyric sopranos of the 20th century and is one of the most heavenly artists to have ever graced the concert scene. A must-have for any collection.

Fabulous? Yes!!!.......1999-09-13

The album is a marvelous sampling of this great singer's artistry. Her performances of the French and Spanish composers are something special. The De Falla "Seven Popular Folksongs" are powerful, passionate; the last song, "Jota," raised the hair on the back of my neck.

I was delighted to see Faure's "Claire de lune" on the album, and equally delighted with De Los Angeles' elegant rendition of this work. The only recording of the song I've liked better is from an LP featuring Frederika Von Stade.

As an added bonus, several duets with the great baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau are featured on Disk #4. These include some charming settings of Irish songs by Beethoven, and a gorgeous arrangement of "Let Us Wander" by Henry Purcell. I remember hearing these duets years ago on an LP recording, and it was a pleasure to hear them again.

Good single with undistinguished B-sides.......2005-03-01

"Stray" was a good return to form for Aztec Camera after the disappointing "Love." One of the strengths of the album "Stray" was the single "The Crying Game." Unfortunately, none of the non-album B-sides are worth the trouble or expense of obtaining this single. The trouble starts with a cover of Cindy Lauper's mawkish "True Colors" performed by Roddy Frame with a drum machine. After that uninpsiring start, a promising song called "Salvation" is marred by an awkward backing vocal. Finally, there is a cover of a Dylan song that might have fit in well on the self-titled "Aztec Camera" EP but which seems out of place here.

Good B-sides can make rare singles worth tracking down and buying, but these B-sides seem to be tracks that were left off the album for a good reason.
