Myths and Legends arrives 20 years after the release of Valley in the Clouds, David Arkenstone's still-mesmerizing debut recording, and the composer/multi-instrumentalist calls it "probably the most ambitious project I have ever attempted." Extras certainly abound here. Beyond a bonus DVD, which mingles nature images, animation, and a few campy videos, Myths and Legends includes a supplemental audio CD designed to be played simultaneously (on a separate system) with the main audio disc. Synching up two discs can be an unwieldy task, yet the effort yields an entertaining listening experience where the main disc is enriched by a wealth of sonic accents (roars, voices, rattles, and hums), giving Arkenstone's musical tales a deeper dimension. (The migration of electric guitar between the two discs during "Daughter of the Sun" provides some fun aural calisthenics.) So, is it great music or just a great gimmick? For fans attracted to Arkenstone's cinematic flourishes and storytelling reveries through sound, it's pleasant, usually interesting listening--another reminder that he remains a worthy contender for a major soundtrack project. Arkenstone adorns many compositions with Celtic, Middle Eastern, and tribal colors, and links many with a sense of spirited, seafaring swagger. His fondness for flutes sometimes softens his sound a touch too much, but at other times Arkenstone allows the cosmic winds to carry him to interesting, dynamic places (such as "Tree of Life"). --Terry Wood

Myths & Legends.......2007-06-21

I am a big fan of David Arkenstone's music since first time I hear his state of the art Atlantis album. David Arkenstone is like a painter - he is using sound colors and textures to create images in music. With his music you can image far worlds you've never seen before.

On Myths & Legends, David Arkenstone also giving you a ticket to travel an actual visual world - with a bonus DVD contains high quality videos for all of the songs. Experiencing his deeply atmospheric music with 5.1 dolby digital audio definitely a unique event.

Also on audio part - there is an ambient CD. When you played it with main audio CD simultaneously it's creating even more deeper atmosphere (you will need separate music players and loudspeakers for it). Indeed it will let you in to the world of Myths & Legens.

I suggest this album to everyone. An old fan of David or new one - doesn't matter. It will be a unique audio-visual experience with every second of it.

Amazon.com essential recording

This magnificent soundtrack perfectly captures the grandeur of Edward Zwick's 1994 film. It sounds the way a Montana sunset looks: big, wide, far-reaching, and full of color. In fact, the music is so good most viewers were able to overlook Brad Pitt's acting. This is such a powerful soundtrack that sound editors frequently use portions of it as an early trailer score for other films. Composed, conducted and produced by James Horner, Legends makes use of the fabulous London Symphony Orchestra, as well as fiddle and Japanese wood flute that will remind listeners of Horner's other famous works: the soundtracks to Glory and Titanic. --Charles R. Cross

The Solitude of the Legends of the Fall .......2007-06-19

I absolutely love James Horner and his works, and I was not at all surprised when I listened to this stunning soundtrack. The soundtrack brings peaceul serenity of the wilderness along with the sudden unpredictability of human character (in this case Tristan's). It won't lull you to sleep so easily, but I am certain that is exactly what Horner wants- he doesn't want a lullaby but a soundtrack to describe the feelings, and the days of the characters who live the music. Like the soundtracks of "Titanic", "Swing Kids", "The New World", and "Troy", the music will take you to another time, and mutes out the sound of traffic, and noise of this busy present day, to bring you near to the heart of the past and it's tumultuous times that seem all more beautiful than what we experience today. For the regular people who are certain this music should only be confined to stuffy elderly people wanting a nap, prepare to be proved wrong as a teenager wrote this. I highly encourage you to if not buy, at least listen to this music.

The greatest soundtrack I've ever heard.......2007-02-17

Have you ever seen a movie before and loved it for no other reason than the soundtrack? I love Legends of the Fall. Not because the storyline is fantastic or because Brad Pitt is dreamy. No, I love the movie because of the music. I actually bought this cassette tape ten years ago in a second hand store. I had never seen the movie but for $.25 I thought, what the hay. It quickly became my favorite cassette and now CD ever. While many movie scores have moved me, nothing has ever been quite like Horner's Legends. The emotion, the gradure of Montana, the fall of the family is beautifully expressed in the music. If I had to be stranded on a desert island for the rest of my life and could only take one CD, this would be it.

Legends of the Fall.......2007-01-04

This is by far the best soundtrack, ever! I have listened to it over and over again, and I have never tired of it. I recommend this to everyone. My whole family (including my teens) love to listen to it. Thanks!

Oh, Please! Forget "Titanic"!!.......2006-11-17

One of the things that bothered me a lot is that "Legends Of The Fall" was not nominated for an Oscar back in 1994-95, and I would have been more than happy if James Horner had won it for this beautiful piece of music, and not for "Titanic" three years later. Not that the latter wasn't touching, but I think that "Legends" has more personality.
Some people might say that Horner was channeling Aaron Copland, but to be honest, I simply don't care. This is his best composition from his 90's output, period. I mean the theme in the first track, as well as the theme for the Ludlow family, are truly masterpieces in their own right; when I heard them in the movie, I shed tears because these compositions fit perfectly with the drama and the beautiful landscapes you see on screen. In spite of the similarity of the track 'Revenge' with Horner's 'Hightland's Execution' from "Patriot Games", the beauty and the power of the aforementioned themes is overwhelming enough to forget that track.
All in all, "Legends Of The Fall" is a far better work than "Titanic", to tell you the truth, and this is one great, great film score by James Horner.

One of the most exquisite scores ever created!!.......2006-11-12

I have never viewed this film,but this score is a true masterpiece.I am a big fan of movie scores and of James Horner.Almost every score he composes is an artwork but THIS is his greatest work to date.With each note,a new mood is felt.One moment you feel contentment,the next moment sorrow.While each track is good the standout among all of them is "The Ludlows".I am not at all prone to crying,but this piece has brought me near tears.The violin solos are especially affecting in this piece.Many reviewers have commented that Horner is dull and repetitive,I beg to differ.I admit that many chords and sometimes whole themes are repeated in his scores.However,nearly every time he varies an insrumentation or note to bring a change to the piece.Also,on each occasion,he usually writes a new theme to accompany a used one.Yes,he tends to be slightly repetitious,but every comoser will repeat themself at some point in time.John Williams has penned many scores that sound the same.It's called having a "style".Writers of novels do the same thing all the time with far inferior results.So don't criticize James Horner.Just enjoy his breathtaking music,beginning with this,his masterpiece.

Customer Reviews:

GREAT for kids and parents, too!.......2007-04-13

I rarely write reviews, but just had to write about this amazing CD. It's not your typical kiddie-fare. My three kids (ages 4, 6, and 8) listen to this one over and over again, and my husband and I are hooked, too. We are not into jazz at all, but the songs here are so catchy and fun. It's cool enough that you could even play it at an adult function, and everyone would like it. In fact, I'm buying it for my mom, who is 64, because I know that she'll be singing it around the house in no time at all -- just like we do!

cute for kids.......2006-08-13

I bought "Nicky's Jazz Lullabies" before my baby was born and loved it, so I decided to purchase this CD. My baby is a little young for it yet, but it fun to listen to while we play. The songs are cute and catchy, and I'm sure she'll love it eventually. I'm a jazz lover and hope to introduce her to some of the greats. Plus, in my opinion, this beats those cheesy kids songs any day.

Everybody listens when they come to my house.......2006-07-25

This is a delightful program of songs that will please everyone with a garden of word-tune delights. My family and I loved it. We've played it over and over again for our friends. I bought it for several other children I know. They loved it. One 4-year-old is determined to learn every song. And that means learning lots of words, rhymes, syncopation, from great artists of American jazz culture. A verbal infusion for the young that is great fun.

A gem!.......2006-01-23

I rarely write reviews, but I need to comment on how fantastic this compilation is. I have a four-year-old and an eighteen-month-old, and this CD is in heavy rotation at our house. My husband and I love the music at least as much as they do -- it's stylish and sets a great mood as we're making dinner and doing dishes. The kids love it too, needless to say. My four-year-old's favorites are Three Blind Mice (she loves when the farmer's wife squeaks that she'll give back the tails) and the final track by Peggy Lee (where she says the word *poop*, as in "party poop" -- endless laughter ensues). Ella Fitzgerald's A-Tisket, A-Tasket and Chew, Chew Your Bubblegum are priceless. All in all, I highly recommend this CD -- everyone will be happy to hear it again and again.

One of the most under rated cd's on the market.......2005-05-03

This cd has won awards and delighted anyone who has listened. Why it isn't a requirement for kids learning about music, especially in the US where Jazz became Jazz, is beyond me. Perfectly charming songs from the best of the best who made Jazz, lots of passionate Jazz.

Wonderful Concept Album.......2007-05-18

This is the first album of Rick Wakeman's I ever heard. I fell in love at once. It has both the English sense of destiny and the modern (yes, still) sense of continuity. You get a sense of the Legend through the songs, and a new look at the love story behind some of it.

From this album I fell in love with the man's work.

Rick Wakeman's best.......2007-04-07

This album sounds very contemporary. Great vocal, diverse and higly dramatic musical themes - you will listen it again and again!

The only serious drawback - mediocre quality of recording.

Needs more blastbeats.......2006-12-01

Standout tracks = *

ARTHUR* Intro track, starts with an "epic" (actually weak) voiceover and then the keys and attempts at bombast come in... I don't know if you've ever heard Bal Sagoth, but the overall corny epic feel of this album reminds me of their work. The synths that are trying to sound like horns work way better here than on stupid black metal albums, no doubt. The keys rule this album, the highlight of this track being the set of atomic cricket chirps heard around 4:50. There's also some cool clean guitar that sounds like someone held a mic within a few feel of an unaware James from Arsis noodling unplugged as a warm-up to his set. All around this is a rocking and powerful track.

LADY OF THE LAKE Total throwaway. Yes, vocals alone can be cool, but this forty-second choral-only track is a piece of poo compared to that amazing moment right before the final movement of Edge of Sanity's Crimson.

GUINEVERE Lame traditional piano wankery to start, almost too much to forgive after the last track already had me looking for a way out. There's a little respite from all sound, then the ballad crap comes in. It's almost saved by the sweet future synths goofing around in the background, but too lame, too late. There's the beloved/hated (just my personal preference on this particular birdsong) crow cackle in the left speaker around 2:00 - I don't think it's farfetched to say this is a not-too-subtle Dim Mak homage. Wakeman's delivery of the word "Guinevere" is almost as incomprehensible as Danzig's take on "Vampira" and much more giggle inducing. This track is all around same-y and something that a chick from another era would probably get down to. The best portion begins at 4:00 when the midget space worms present themselves from their gestation chamber and regale the gathered patrons with their mating song, weemp-whoomped out with joy and lechery in their native tongue. Though this is a track only for the die-hards, it goes out in class, using the "slowing the tape down" effect to gradually and quickly drop the pitch of the fruity chorus we just spent the whole song begging to quit imitating castratos.

SIR LANCELOT AND THE BLACK KNIGHT* Holy moly! This is cheese prog the way it's meant to be done! After the phenomenal and manly "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!" intro chant, the deliciously dextrous keys take turns with a fervent and testicled singer to craft a fetus-shredding verse. I can't even express how much how the "WHOOH" horn that accompanies the final beat of every sung line during the verses. This cataclysmic energy doesn't let up, all the way through a blazing keyboard solo that makes the wee space larva from the previous track cry to mommy. The best bits from earlier in the song are recycled, generating a medival prog epic that will stand the test of time.

MERLIN THE MAGICIAN Opens with some choral nonsense, this probably sounds cool if you are 5 or if you go to church. Much like The third track, just when the first bit of nonsense lets up, our optimism is punished with yet more nonsense. If I wanted to hear clean piano being played proficiently, I wouldn't have moved out of Mom's house (SHE HAS A PIANO AND I CAN PLAY IT SO EASY). Some three-dimensional sounds appear around 3:15 that attempt to save this slug of a song, but they're not really annihilating the faux-ivory-tickling we've heard in the previous two tracks, making this feel like a useless song built around a mediocre solo. Something so imcomprehensibly terrible that I cannot put it into words happens at 4:50; the only good thing I can say this fifty seconds of terror is that it sort of reminds me of a stage in Super Mario World. More volume-filling, mind-expanding laser solos make me smile towards the end, but my smile is shattered and I am plunged into irreparable depravity as the Mario-esque nonsense returns for a torturous reprise.

SIR GALAHAD I guess Wakeman has a boner for choral intros, but even if I'd had any sort of stiffness, these intros would act as an all too tight condom. After the requisite intro and mellow pre-song nonsense that is becoming a recurring motif, some more nonsense that was probably intended to cause booties to boogie appears, complelling my already flaccid member to desire a safe haven where it can be softened no more. This song is all over the place: not in the worst way possible, but in a way that I don't want to commit more than a few words to the attention-whoring chicanery. Basically, they build it up so you feel like some posers are about to be forcibly removed from the hall, but after the badical buildup, the posers are instead taken by the club owner into the VIP room where they wine and dine our collective sisters.

THE LAST BATTLE There was a smooth segue from the prior track into this nine-minute goliath, so I didn't notice the track change. Our sisters having such a blast and get wasted on champagne probably wasn't helping my focus, either. Not too much on this mediocre and paradoxically non-epic track that we haven't heard yet. Some vocal scat nonsense arrives at 2:47 in an obvious tribute to Katamari Damacy. This last track is clearly dedicated to nap-inducing rather than bombast; I say skip it.

Summary Some fun tracks, some duds, and many cool moments. Many less blastbeats than advertized.

A Legendary Progressive Rock Album.......2006-06-29

Believe it or not, it was my mom that introduced me to this album. She told me that when she was about my age she had it on tape and loved it. Since then I wanted it and I have finally got it. I really don't think to many people have heard of Rick Wakeman's solo projects. I'm sure they know him from Yes and the album he did with Black Sabbath but not of his own works, I could be wrong though. From what I've gathered, this is his third album the first being The six Wives Of Henry VIII and the second Journey To The Center Of The Earth. If this album is any indacation of how good his solo works are, I need to pick those other two up. On to the music. The story is about Arthur and his companions and their many exploits and I think he loosly based this album on Thomas Mallory's Le Morte D'Arthur in particular. This album shows that Wakeman is a master (if not the master) of the synthisizer and keyboard. Each song is distinct from the previous which is good in my book. And while there isn't a whole lot of singing, the songs themselves do a good job of telling the story and characters. I just love the different arrangements that go with the different characters, especially Merlin and Guinevere. Plus Rick is accompinied by an orchrastra and The English Chamber Choir which is totaly cool. I've read some reviews saying that some of the singing isn't that great but I have to disagree. While it's not the best singing I've ever heard it's still pretty good. The use of jazz and fusion jazz is also good and in my opinion really helps this already excellent album out. If I have any complaints it is that this album is too short and that it comes with no lyrics. For the first, it doesn't really matter because even though it is over forty-two minutes, I've got other cds that are good but are shorter. And as for the lyrics, I'll get over it because there isn't a whole lot of singing and what singing that is there is pretty much understandable. Definitely an excellent album that shouldn't be passed up.

Customer Reviews:

Good collection!.......2007-06-03

This is an excellent collection of country hits, especially for those of us who grew up during this time-period. This collection may not be suitable for serious country music fans, but it does provide and excellent selection of music by lead performers from the 1950s through the 1970s for those of us who appreciate Country-Western music. I was very pleased to find several songs I remember from my youth, including: "The Battle of New Orleans," "El Paso," "Six Days on the Road," "King of the Road," "Flowers on the Wall," "Big Bad John," "The Three Bells," "Ring of Fire" (I was a big Johnny Cash fan as a kid), "Ode to Billy Joe," "When You're Hot, You're Hot," "Rhinestone Cowboy," "The Most Beautiful Girl," "Convoy" (yes, I had a CB radio), "The Gambler, and others.

Check out the other songs on the title list to see if you remember these. The collection comes with 3 CDs, one for each decade. The sound quality is good, too.

If you like country music from this era it is a good sample. Many top ten hits.

Wonderful old songs remembered.......2007-01-18

My Parents and my Sister are all enjoying these songs from the days when we remembered Country Legends. This CD Collection is tremendous... has all of the greats on it. Highly recommend it to anyone wanting to hear the good "old" songs.

I can't believe how many great songs are on this set.......2006-12-16

I bought this for my Dad for Christmas, but I can't wait to borrow it. My jaw dropped as I read the song list for this set. While a few don't really fit (When You're Hot, You're Hot???), the set is filled with some of the best songs ever to be played on country radio.

I hope there's a Volume II.

GREATS HITS. HECK - EVEN THE MISSES ARE GOOD!!.......2006-12-13

Growing up in the '50s and '60s, I remember the songs on this set very well. This is a good review of one off hits like the Browns "Three Bells" (I couldn't stand that song as a kid but kind of enjoy it now), the Statler Brothers' "Flowers on the Wall",Floyd Cramer's "Last Date", "Detroit (I want to go home)", "Abilene", "El Paso" (notice the city name theme), and a host of others. All the major players are represented, Johnny Horton (Battle of New Orleans), Hank Snow (Movin' On), Patsy Cline (I Fall to Pieces), Johnny Cash (Ring of Fire), on and on and on. However, its for the more obscure hits that you should purchase this set. A great overview of the period. Hey, I discovered that Webb Pierce was a real rockin' musician!! Bet many of you didn't know that either!! The most interesting stuff is the '50s and '60s. The '70s goes into the Willie and Waylon (and similar artists)thing which you probably have on other collections. However, the sound quality is great and the early stuff fantastic!! If you like country music, buy it!! If you like country music and want to drive someone crazy who does not like traditional country, buy it BIG TIME!!

Big Noise from Waimea and Beyond.......2007-06-29

I bought these CD second, even though it was the first one released. Again I really enjoyed it as well, some great stuff here. Here you'll find Jim Messina(pre-Loggins & Messina)with his group the Jesters.Also a couple of great songs by a group called the Chandelles(El Gato & the Jetster) It pays to read the liner notes, you really get some great info into the time period and what was going on with theses groups. Also, a couple of songs from the hard to find "Original Surfaris" first Surf album. And the story behind them and the more well known So. Cal group we're all familiar with that released "Wipe Out", "Surfer Joe", etc..If you love the California West Coast sound, start collecting these CD's. It will help you fill in the musical gaps.

.........my title says it all. Great stuff here by some of the lesser knowns. But great nevertheless. If you like surf music, get this. I probably have over 70 CD's of surf music and this is one of the best. 'Nuff said.

60's surf trip!.......2004-04-11

This is excellent collection of songs. The songs are very lively and entertaining. The most stunning thing about this CD is the reproduction quality. A lot of the songs sound like like they were just recently recorded, the audio is that good. You can hear the big influence Dick Dale had with other musicians on this CD. Their second CD "lost legends of surf guitar 2" has less surf oriented tunes with more hot rod songs, it makes me wonder if I should bother buying the third CD of this collection. The pyramids had one of the top surf tunes in "penetration" but the two pyramid tunes on here just sound like copies of that tune with the same minor sounding desending riff. This is an exciting collection of songs for all surf music fans. I also recommend their second CD even though it has hot-rod tunes.

Down to earth Flamenco.......2007-05-12

The performers on this collection are the cream of the crop of grass roots Flamenco. El Loreno's voice is simply mystical. La Paquera holds in her feeling the power and pasion of Flamenco in one person. if you love Flamenco this is a must.

This is not Gypsy Kings..........2007-05-07

This music was not at all what i expected. I was expecting a bit more fun guitar and such, but the singing is what blew it: it sounded like so much screeching to me. Played once. It hurt my ears. Now, its collecting dust.

superb flamenco classics.......2007-03-12

If you want to hear flamenco at its very best you can't do better than to buy this CD. Manitas de Plata was the best of the flamenco guitarists of the 60's and La Paquera de Jerez was the signature female flamenco vocalist of her generation. The other artists on this CD are also the best of their times. Flamenco of our day still has technical virtuousity, but I can't help but think that something essential has been lost, something to do with the soul of this music form.

Beautiful Songs.......2006-02-23

This CD is perfect CD for me. Traditional flamenco music.
I enjoy this CD a lot.

Love it.......2005-11-16

I always loved gipsy music and unfortunately it's not easy to come by a good recording with the 'real' gipsy music. Well this one is the real deal.
Good recording - good music.

Unexpected delights with diamonds scattered everywhere..........2007-04-04

The Boswell Sisters, Connie, Martha and Helvetia, do not receive the fond memories that they deserve; they have unjustly been mostly forgotten. Fortunately, CDs like this one exist to demonstrate that they possessed remarkable talent. Just one listen to this CD proves that this trio was exceptionally facile at switching moods, tempo and keys all in the same song. They could scat very well, too.

The CD starts off with an early acoustic recording of "Nights When I Am Lonely." The surface noise is a bit bothersome but we get a good early glimpse at the sisters when they were young. This track proves that even at an early age The Boswell Sisters had tremendous singing abilities far beyond the realm of just any old sister act. They are already playing with the tempo as they sing "Nights When I Am Lonely."

"Heebies Jeebies," a Louis Armstrong number, gets the full Boswell treatment as we now hear them five years later with their voices matured. The sisters accentuate even the smallest syllables of the words "Heebies Jeebies" to create the right feel for this number; and the tempo and mood changes will impress you, too. When the tempo slows for a bluesy feel during this number you will truly amazed at their talent. Martha Boswell plays the piano for this number, too.

"When I Take My Sugar To Tea" starts with great horn playing with a slow, bluesy feel to it; the instrumental swinging jam that follows pops out at you all the more so because of the bluesy feel earlier on in this number. The sisters play with the tempo, too, switching back and forth between fast and slow. Awesome! Another song that showcases their ability to play with tempos and different keys would be "Shout, Sister, Shout."

"Shine On, Harvest Moon" starts with a bluesy intro and the sisters add great syncopated lyrics to give this number extra punch.

"Was That The Human Thing To Do" was one of the first song recorded first by The Boswell Sisters; by 1932 they were so popular that they no longer had to be content with recording covers of songs by other artists. "Was That The Human Thing To Do" starts out with a sprightly tempo that stands in sharp contrast to the sad lyrics about a love gone awry. The number has great tempo and key changes and this number has Jimmy Dorsey playing the alto clarinet as Tommy Dorsey plays trombone. The musical arrangement shines for this number.

"There'll Be Some Changes Made" once again shows the sisters successfully manipulating tempo and mood; and Connie Boswell does a wonderful solo in the middle of this number. In addition, "Minnie The Moocher's Wedding Day" uses the piano and percussion very well; and Jimmy Dorsey and his brother Tommy are back on clarinet and trombone respectively.

"Forty-Second Street" starts with the sisters harmonizing to perfection with a relatively fast paced tempo; but the instrumental jam in the middle of this number moves at a slower pace to enhance the beauty of this song. The sisters add great extra syncopated lyrics as the tempo continues to change back and forth between fast and slow.

The CD ends with a beautiful rendition of "Dinah." Once again, The Boswell Sisters perform this to perfection all the while putting their own stamp on this classic ballad.

The liner notes give the song credits; and Scott Yanow contributes an informative essay about the singing sisters.

I highly recommend this CD for fans of 1930s American music; and people who are already familiar with The Boswell Sisters will love this CD, too. People who enjoy classic pop vocals will cherish this CD and the beautiful songs offer a great deal of nostalgia as well.

Love the Ditty Bops?.......2007-02-10

If you love that darling duo seemingly teleported from the 1930s (either through Grey's Anatomy or not), check out this CD full of early Boswell Sisters recordings. Quick tempo shifts, inventive three part harmonies highlight this unique trio from yesteryear.

THE BEST OF THE BEST.......2006-06-27

Anything by the Boswell Sisters has to be the best.
Without a doubt they had to be THE BEST close harmony group ever,EVER, they have never been surpassed or ever will be.

They are the most requested on our local radio station here in Newcastle (Australia)

Like the old add says "If you liked that, wait there's more, and more and more" but never enough.

Yowsah!.......2006-01-24

Without a doubt one of the best of all possible albums to begin your trip to Boz.

First track is s shocker: a 1925 acoustic recording of the Boswell Sisters first side. Consider that Vet, on the high voice, is all of 14 years old at the time - and that there were no retakes, balance, or even microphones as we know them now (they sang into little horns). Ride through this rough and tumble little ditty (complete with the Boswell's own personal language called "gibberish") and say to yourself "this is great for historical context but I bet it gets better".

And Lordy does it ever. The next track is "Heebie Jeebies", a Satchmo number that gets the Boswell tempo treatment and gives you your first exposure to the strutting contralto of Connie Boswell. This was their lucky song and you'll be feeling lucky to have bought this CD around this time.

If you had any doubt that you were about to have a great musical romp, add the Dorsey Brothers on "When I take My Sugar to Tea" and just strap yourself in. Don't be lulled into thinking you've hit a sentimental sappy in "Shine on Harvest Moon" as you ride through a chorus and verse straight and sweet as southern tea. Suddenly the Sisters break out the juice, change the tempo, throw out the melody and race toward the finish line. And baby, you are the winner.

If you don't feel like marching in a Mardi Gras parade after "We Got to Put the Sun Back in the Sky" you need a tonic.

And if by "Old Yazoo" you feel like you just went through all of Mardi Gras in 3-minutes - you've been Bozzed.

Not to worry. Your blood pressure will come down and your heart be rocked in the cradle of Southern loveliness by the time the CD comes to an end on "Dinah".

This is a superlative CD for the music afficianado who wants to dip into the refreshing, innovative and utterly joyful noise of the Boswell Sisters. Their incomparable sound shines here, and you are treated to some of the best jazzmen of the 30s like Bunny Berrigan, Joe Tarto, Joe Venutti, Eddy Lang and Manny Klein in what feels sometimes like one of the bestest, baddest jams in late night New York history.

John Lucas may have said it best in the October 15, 1944 cover story of Down Beat when he said of the Boswell Sisters "Since they were kids they've been singing licks instead of lyrics, and riffs in place of rhymes."

Get Bozzed!

Music from my childhood.......2007-06-11

My folks had "Tell Tales! Legends and Nonsense" and I've been having great fun introducing my daughters to this music. I wasn't previously familiar with the "Land of Giants" album, but the girls like it.

New Christie Minstrels.......2007-05-13

I like the Christie Minstrels and their music brings back the '60's and my early college days. Fun stuff! Sure nice not to have to listen to my worn out old albums!Good for cleaning the house or any of those chores you can't summon up the energy to get started on.

New Christy Minstrels CD - Tall Tales.......2007-01-10

This is a great album for playing with your kids. The sound of this group is terrific, and the folksy music is just feel good fun stuff. Also check out their Christmas album.

Land of Giants.......2006-06-15

My grandma taught school in the L.A. Unified school district for many years, including the 60's and 70's. She used Land of Giants as a teaching tool for her 5th graders as they learned about United States History. She had them make costumes, and props, and she played the LP on a portable turntable as they presented a program to their parents at the end of the year. She couldn't sing a note, but she appreciated good music, and I was lucky enough to spend time at her house listening to that album over and over. I still have the poor scratchy LP, with a much-taped cover, but I am delighted to have a chance to purchase this music in CD form. Randy Sparks' composing/arranging talent is phenomenal, and his New Christy Minstrels' singing and playing talents are, too. Land of Giants and Sam Hinton's Singing Across the Land were my introductions to North American Folk Music, and the beginning of a lifelong interest. I wonder if any of Grandma's students out there remember Land of Giants?

Nostalgic fun!.......2005-08-23

I had the LP's but somehow they got lost.
What a wonderful surprise when these appeared on CD.
