'Cain's Blood' still flows!.......2007-06-20

Rarely do I hear a new group on the radio that compels me to buy the album...4 Runner's first offering is such an album! If you like quartets, do yourself a favor. BUY THIS RECORD!!!

4 Runner.......2003-07-24

4 Runer is one of the best Country groups as was their debut self titled cd. I wore a couple sounds out on the cd myself. If you can find it now my suggestion is buy it. You won't regret it.

4 runner.......2003-07-18

If you like good 4 part guy quartets singing a combination of rockabilly, country, and pop this is one great album. It is too bad they couldn't have stayed together longer and produced more of this. "Cains Blood" was a big hit on the country stations and that is on this album. Just plain good listening and sing along music.
The bass singer has a awsome low range and is close miked so you can hear it well, especially if you have a good stereo that goes way down low.

Modern Music Lovers' Delight.......2006-06-15

This CD will appeal to you if you are a fan of modern composers who can't seem to distinguish between music and sound. The best tracks are Klucevsek's own compositions, the others are just too noisy for me. Transylvanian Software is a better disk for adventurous but listenable virtuosic accordion playing.

An AntiWar Masterpiece.......2002-08-26

Tippett and Britten were composers who, though very different in temperment and style, had many interests in common. One of the overiding concerns with both composers was the moral response to war and it's horrors. For Britten, the War Requiem and Owen Wingrave are his very clear moral response to war. Tippet, in his fashion is much more psychological in this work, which must rank as one of Tippett's best and most powerful operatic statements.

King Priam is a dramatic tour de force. Based on the Illiad as seen through the eyes of the Trojans, the work is a meditation on the inevitability of fate in mass movements like war. Priam, though illdisposed to the war, is unable to stop or control it as it takes both of his sons, his kingdom and then finally his own life. He emerges as a figure of moral power and grandeur, but ultimately as impotent and tragic. This libretto is one of Tippett's best and most clear statements.

Musically, Priam is a powerhouse, inaugurating Tippett's second major style. Priam is constructed in a mosaic style. Small chamber groups of instruments with defined musical content are assigned to characters. As the work develops, these small groups combine and recombine in a shifting maze of patterns that seems to endlessly reinvent itself. The music starts out as largely tonal, but the tonality breaks down as Fate takes over and dooms the Trojans. The work is never serial, but it takes an almost Bergian view of tonality, sometimes more and sometimes less tonal as the dramatic situation warrants. The vocal lines are mostly declaimed, but with moments of lyricism that are unfogettable, such as Priam's first aria, A Father and a King, or the beautiful scene between Priam and Achilles in the third act. And Achilles war cry at the end of act two is bone chilling!

This is a great performance of this piece. Many of the singers originated the roles and sing them with power and authority. Phillip Langridge is terrific as Paris. Robert Tear is a marvelous Achilles. David Aetherton conducts this difficult score with precision and a fine ear for balances.

This is a profound opera by a major 20th century composer. If you like Britten, you should own this as well. It is increasingly looking like Tippett's masterpiece.

Visceral power & beauty coupled with stunning performances!!.......2001-06-13

I bought this on a whim, having heard only the slightest bit of Tippett's orchestral music and none of his operas. I expected the music to be "difficult," and the performances stilted, but I was oh so wrong! Yes, this is definitely late 20th century music -- often dissonant and atonal, but it is utterly beautiful, emotionally moving music. I'm a huge fan of Britten's operas, and judge all modern opera composers by his standards, and (pardon my gushing) Sir Michael is more than up to the challenge. First of all, he takes on the daunting task of adapting the Iliad into a opera libretto and manages to compress the drama beautifully into 3 acts that tell the story imaginatively, comprehensively and in a wholly theatrical manner. Second, he uses the music to heighten the sense of character by giving each persona a unique style of vocal line and orchestration (yes, this is what all composers do, or try to do, but Tippett succeeds in a way few others do). Several of the characters are accompanied by solo instruments (bravura parts of concerto-like difficulty performed brilliantly) -- Achilles by solo guitar, Helen by solo cello, King Priam by violin, etc. Three characters form a sort of Greek chorus who comment on the action and bring a sense of questioning morality to the whole.

All of the solo singers are astutely cast and sing with amazing power. Standouts (difficult to single out any of them, they're all so brilliant): Phillip Langridge is first-rate as Paris, Priam's second son -- he sings with enormous power and pathos at the same time. Felicity Palmer is velvety sex personified as Helen. Norman Bailey as Priam has a raw edginess to his sound, which lends such a sense of reality to a man pushed to the edge by fate and his warring sons. The London Philharmonia gives a virtuoso performance, led sensitively and intelligently by David Atherton. The digital sound is crystal clear and beautifully engineered: the sound couldn't be better live at the Met! Take a chance on this one, and enter into an operatic world you will never forget.

One of the best and most easily grasped of modern operas.......1999-02-27

Contemporary opera was never the same after King Priam, a suitable irony given that the Opera is perhaps the most easily grasped by the listening public of the 5 Tippett Operas. Even so, the "crisis of King Prian" stylistically and emotionally is the germ-seed for the eccentrism yet to come in "The Knot Garden", "The Ice Break", and "New Year". Tippett's theme is the futility of choice and the nature of the impact of choice on humanity in the micro-sphere of the individual and the macro-sphere of the community and history. Tippett's unusual yet perfectly conceived recasting of the Iliad from the Trojan persepctive does more than summarize plot, but pauses to comment on the universal human potential implicit therein. A must-buy for Tippett fans and for anyone who likes opera, Greek Mythology, classical music, or a good story.

Good album, but not as good as the first.......2005-12-15

I absolutely loved 4Runner's first album, so I couldn't wait for this one to arrive in my mailbox. The first album I give at least 4 out of 5 stars on every song, but I can't say the same about Getaway Car. Of course, I think it would be very difficult to compare any album with the first, but this may sum it up... The song House At The End Of The Road is on both albums, and the first is a much better production with better background music. I give 3 out of 5 stars for Getaway Car and 5+ stars for their debut album. The best song on this album may compare to the average song on the other.

Great Country!.......2005-10-26

This group is amazing! It is a shame that they aren't around anymore to continue producing incredible stuff like this. Getaway Car is the best song on this album.

4Runner's Getaway Car a Runaway Hit.......2004-08-03

You may ask, who is 4Runner? You may remember them as the country music group that several years ago had a big hit with the song entitled Cain's Blood. The group made of, now, three very talented vocalists; Craig Morris, Lee Hillard, and Michael Lusk. I say "now three vocalists", after just recently finding that Jim Chapman has made the decision to resign from 4Runner

"After much thought and prayer", stated Jim... "I have decided to end my career with the boys of 4Runner. It simply has become time for me to pursue other interests. Over the years, Mike, Lee, and Craig have become some of my very best friends. Friends we shall remain. We have weathered the ups and downs of the music business together; and in our personal lives, we have shared both happiness and tragedy. I soon will be involved in the Children's Book Industry as an illustrator for an Enture Series of books. My wife and I are also looking into ways to pursue our dream of someday going back to China to work in the orphanages. I will always remain a 4Runner fan!"

When Angry Country last caught up with 4Runner, as a matter of fact, it was during Fan Fair 2003... Stopping by their booth that was set up in the convention center, I asked them "Why the absence from the Nashville music scene?" Like so many of the artists, they had also faced record label problems. And like many of the artists that are faced with the decision of chasing down a music career or feeding their families, it came down to simply family came first!

What is so sad for me personally is the decision of Jim Chapman to leave 4Runner, although I certainly understand that sometimes life takes you in a different direction... I say this only because 4Runner's new album Getaway Car is an album that showcases their talent and should put them right back at the top of the country music charts. Once again, I just find it disheartening that the Nashville country music business is so fickle that it lets great groups like that of 4Runner sit around for so long that it takes groups like this time to rebuilt what was already a great career. My only hope is that 4Runner will weather yet another up and down and forge onward, despite having a group member leave. Look for their new Forrest County Line video which is on rotation on Great American Country (GAC.)
