Joe Val Lives on.......2004-04-26

Peter Rowan has often been quoted as saying he learned how to sing on Joe Vals' front porch. Of all his albums, his voice sounds like the late east coast bluegrasser the most here. This album is also the best of his solo albums fom a bluegrass perspective.

The title track is my favorite cut, having what Monroe used to call the "old tones". Great bluegrass writing, (all the elements are here; love, death, longing, the supernatural) wonderful intrumentation, and impeccable singing. I think he doea a good job on "Moonshiner" though Dylans' old cut is superior. As mentioned elsewhere, "Thirsty in the Rain" is beautiful and the the song amongst all of his that I would hold up as most representative of his sensibilities as a lyric writer.
"Old Old House" is a great old George Jones song that Peter just slays. I'd like to see some of those ditzes on "American Idol" try to chew on a song like this just once. If you can sing that one well you can flat out sing!

A great album I always return to. Buy it along with a Joe Val CD and get the muse as well!

Rowan's Voice is a National Treasure.......2001-11-29

Peter Rowan has had as prolific a career in bluegrass as anyone not named Allison Kraus could possibly have - it's hard to believe that he's entering his fourth decade of his career since doing time with Bill Monroe in 1970. While it's impossible for anyone to go wrong with picking up any of his CD's, "Walls of Time" is my personal favorite. Recorded in the early '80's, this collection (sans cuts 7,8, and 9, which were recorded on a different album and protrude notably from the rest of the songs) found Rowan in a somewhat reflective/introspective state of mind. The selection of material reflects that mood, but maintains the interest of the listener nonetheless, thanks to his clear tenor (still the best in bluegrass today) and a strong backup band including Ricky Skaggs on mandolin, Jerry Douglas on dobro (what else?) and Alan O'Bryant and Eddie Adcock sharing banjo duty. In addition to their instumental abilities, Skaggs, O'Bryant, and Adcock are all noted harmony vocalists, lifting material like "Raglan Road," "Moonshiner," and "Casey's Last Ride" through the rafters (I'm a particular fan of Adcock - there is not a better backup banjoist on medium and slower tempoed banjo tunes than he). For "traditional" fans, his duet with Skaggs on the title cut surpasses the original by Monroe.

Don't pass this one by.

Solid Blue Grass and New Grass.......2001-02-02

Rowan was once a member of Bill Monroe's Bluegrass Boys and he collaborated with Monroe on the title cut. Thirsty in the Rain, a song about the irony of how people in the USA have so much but keep searching for more, was written after Rowan was on a Buddhist retreat. The muscians playing with Peter are solid and contribute greatly to the over all quality of the recording.

A great first effort from a band that is overlooked..........2004-06-03

Well, I wrote a review on their first album, might as well write one on their first EP. This, like other fans of the band was my first introduction. I bought the EP in June of 2001 based upon the recommendation from a friend who suggested I give some local emo-core a shot.

I say local because I live in Stockton, CA and the band is from San Francisco and so is thier label Session Records.

I must admit, this EP took some time to grow on me. Musically, it sound a little too much like the slower moments from Jimmy Eat World's masterpiece "Clarity". And the faster, more dynamic parts reminded me of lower end Deep Elm bands that couldn't quite figure out their sound.

Then I saw the band live and my attitude totally changed. Every song on this EP leads nicely into the next one. "Balance" is a slow but steady opener that gradually builds into yet another heartfelt yelp that you can't help but move along to.

"Your Arms, the Blades" is by far the standout track on the album and the most accessible for new fans to familarize themselves with the bands direction.

Overall, this EP is truly worth the price, and the bands first full length "Just Enough Bright" is the longer other half to this emotional puzzle. Check them both out! Hope this was helpful!

God Bless the Xbox.......2004-05-19

Every so often a couple songs would just blow my mind while I was playing Amped on the Xbox. So I checked out who the band was and it was Time Spent Driving. I now own both CD's that I got off of Amazon and the only thing that is dissimpointing is that there is only 6 songs on the first CD.

I normally enjoy groups like Korn, Linkin Park, Blink 182, and Sum 41. But Time Spent Driving's song Glass Rose is my all time favorite song.

Another great emo CD...er, EP.......2004-05-18

I bought this cd online JUST before the store I bought it from stopped selling it, so I got it just in time!

Well, what can I say? Time Spent Driving certainly appeals to the slower, more heartfelt side of emo. For the most part, there's not much of a song structure (which I always love), but there are plenty of quiet, reflective moments followed right up by rocking ones. Many are beautiful, and all are despairing, but you can enjoy them no matter how you're feeling. Even my least favorite song, "Silouhettes and Pictures," is worthwile. (Hopefully, all this will encourage Amazon to put audio clips on for this EP, but I hope you'll buy it and find out for yourself!)

Culled from New York Philharmonic broadcasts spanning 75 years, this remarkable 10-disc compilation testifies to the strong-willed yet chameleon-like orchestra's virtuosity and versatility under a diverse assemblage of podium personalities. Stylistically speaking, the earlier items are the most interesting, revealing, for instance, a more vibrant Otto Klemperer and freer Arturo Toscanini than their later commercial efforts sometimes suggest. Other artists are heard in repertoire which they otherwise didn't record: Fritz Reiner's Brahms 2nd, Leonard Bernstein's Berg and Webern, and a wrenching concert version of Bartók's Bluebeard's Castle under Kubelík's direction, to name but a few. From program notes to transfer quality, not one stone is left unturned to ensure first-rate results. --Jed Distler

The New York "Phil": overrated as usual.......2000-10-20

I have often thought that symphony orchestras with a long history, i.e. Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Cincinnati etc., should put out albums of historic broadcasts, but so far only the N.Y. Philharmonic has done so. The quality of the transfers, booklet, musician quotes and packaging are first-rate. The performances are something else again.

As anyone who has worked with, for or around the NY Phil can tell you, this is and has always been one arrogant orchestra. By this I mean, the musicians think they know everything, they act in a high-handed manner with outsiders, and they have always given conductors a hard time. If NY musicians don't like you or your approach to music, they will "sabotage" your performances--in fact, they did so to John Barbirolli, Artur Rodzinski and Dmitri Mitropoulos--and even if they like you (as in the case of Leonard Bernstein) they won't produce a really fine tone or ensemble blend, but rather a kind of rag-rag sound with rough-sounding strings and blowsy brass. If you don't believe me, just listen to the performances herein by Barbirolli, Rodzinski and Igor Stravinsky, whom one NY Phil musician describes as "a funny little man" but not a good conductor. (Gee, that's odd, I heard the transcript of Stravinsky conducting the world premiere of "The Rake's Progress" and it was a very adequate performance.)

Only seven conductors on this set draw a really fine sound from the orchestra: Mengelberg, Toscanini, Walter, Cantelli, Monteux, Reiner and Kubelik, and they were among the greatest conductors who ever lived. Everyone else gets so-so sound or worse, clumsily-phrased performances, and sometimes mismatched styles (worst of them being the Mozart Concerto No. 7 for 2 Pianos, where the prissy conducting of Barbirolli is overpowered by Josef and Rosina Lhevinne poundin' away on the ivories like they were having a break-your-eardrums contest).

Artistically, there is about four and a half hours' worth of great music AND great performances out of the 12 1/2 hours presented. Best of the lot are Beethoven's "Coriolanus" overture (somewhat abridged) by Willem van Hoogstraten (a fine testament to a completely forgotten conductor), all of the Toscanini material (including the best Brahms Violin Concerto I've ever heard and an arrangement of Bach's Toccata and Fugue by Sir Henry Wood that actually simulates the timbral sounds of an organ), the Chopin Concerto No. 1 by Rubinstein and Walter, the Shostakovich Violin Concerto No. 1 by Oistrakh and Mitropoulos (the orchestra didn't have much to do, and behaved itself out of respect for Oistrakh), the Faure Requiem conducted by Nadia Boulanger (with a sublime-sounding Donald Gramm), the Three Orchestral Pieces of Berg conducted by Bernstein, and Bartok's opera "Duke Bluebeard's Castle" with Tatiana Troyanos, Siegmund Nimsgern and Kubelik.

In retrospect, and out of respect to the work they did, I feel that more Bernstein performances should have been included and something by Michael Tilson Thomas should have made it in. Granted, Lennie often flew by the seat of his pants in live performance, but certainly they could have found SOMETHING in their vaults better than, say, the atrocious Schoenberg "Ode to Napoleon," Poulenc's thoroughly dry and uninteresting "Concert champetre," the afore-mentioned Mozart Concerto for 2 Pianos, Roberta Peters in poor voice caterwauling her way through the "Fledermaus" arias, or John Corigliano's derivative and poorly-constructed Clarinet Concerto? Alas, we'll never know.

One final note: $220 strikes me as prohibitively expensive for a 10-CD set. Since when are CDs worth $22 apiece? Trust me, they are NOT made of gold. In any case, your decision to purchase should weigh the relative merits and importance of the good performances, and decide whether or not they are worth that much to you. Certainly, this is the best "Bluebeard's Castle" I have ever heard, Bruno Walter's muscular reading of the Chopin Concerto must be heard to be believed, and the Toscanini performances have the advantage of giving us his sound in "real space" rather than a cramped studio. These are also advantages to consider. The choice is yours. I have simply given it my own personal rating.
