Album Description

From the moment you hear the voice, you know it: fierce and powerful, clear and passionate, a voice that has sold 49 million records, a voice that could belong to no one else but the woman millions of fans the world over know only as Reba. So what do you do when you're the owner of that iconic voice -- and the embodiment of a genre-bending artistic presence that spans the worlds of music, screen and stage? If you're Reba McEntire, you find creative soul mates in 11 other amazing voices and produce a groundbreaking collection of music simply titled Reba Duets. Or, as McEntire herself might describe it, you gather up some friends old and new, and have a party - oh, and make an amazing new album at the same time. "It was like a family reunion. It was just so much fun!" says the easygoing superstar. And the results? "Well, I'm just so tickled!" she says with her trademark Southern charm. "I can't wait for everyone to hear it." Duets was a long time coming, says McEntire. "You have to keep creating things, thinking about what's next and how to keep it fresh for your fans," she says. "I've always thought a duets album would be a great thing to get to do, and the timing was finally right to make it happen."

Marty Stuart began collaborating with legends when he joined Lester Flatt's Nashville Grass as a 13-year-old mandolinist. One of his biggest singles, 1991's "The Whiskey Ain't Workin'," teamed him with Travis Tritt. This compilation includes a rare Stuart mandolin workout on Bill Monroe's "Rawhide" recorded onstage with Flatt in 1974, and "Hearts Like Ours" with wife Connie Smith. He and ex-father-in-law Johnny Cash created a fiery revival of Cash's Sun recording of "Doin' My Time." With Steve Earle, Stuart created a beautifully understated rendition of Buddy Holly's "Crying, Waiting, Hoping." He was equally adept with Earl Scruggs on "John Henry" and with Merle Haggard on a 2003 "Farmer's Blues." That empathy extended to blues and gospel greats, apparent on "The Weight" with the Staple Singers and "Confessin' the Blues" with B.B. King. Two unreleased tracks include Stuart and Loretta Lynn reviving "Will You Visit Me on Sunday," a tune she'd previously recorded with the late Conway Twitty, and the Who's "I Can See for Miles" with Stuart, his band, and Old Crow Medicine Show. Unlike the many Nashville "vocal events" that are simply contrived marketing ploys, Stuart's collaborations are consistently organic, without a shred of artifice. --Rich Kienzle

Another great record from Marty Stuart. I used to think Marty was blessed to know and to perform with so many of the great artists of country music. Now I think they are blessed to be able to perform with Marty. He truly is a one of the greats of country music. Now I am blessed to hear Marty with Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Travis Tritt, Connie Smith, George Jones, BB King, Del McCoury, Loretta Lynn, Lester Flatt and his Fabulous Superlatives. Love the pictures and the notes included also.

How do you drum up interest in a Jerry Lee Lewis record, since the Ferriday Fireball is 71 and hasn't put out an album since 1996? First, you pair him with 22 of the biggest stars of rock (Mick Jagger, Keith Richards), country (Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard), and blues (Buddy Guy, B.B. King), to show how he put his stamp on nearly every genre. Then, you hire the dean of music chroniclers, Peter Guralnick, to give the liner notes heft. And--oh, yes, you also make sure the piano-pounding pioneer displays the best finger form he's shown in 25 years. Throughout, the Killer crows, struts, and self-mythologizes with the brio of youth, and who could resist him? At times, one may question the wisdom of turning an obvious guitar tune (Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll") into a piano-dominated performance, just as it seems odd to not make the best use of such guests as Toby Keith or Delaney Bramlett. But Lewis never yields the throne for a second, even surrounded by the likes of Robbie Robertson, Neil Young, and Eric Clapton. For that reason, most of these aren't true duets--the star instrumentalists take their solos, and the harmonies of some of the most legendary vocalists (Don Henley, Little Richard) stay too far in the background. But when things really work--as they do with Bruce Springsteen (the rave-up "Pink Cadillac"), Neil Young (a crackling rendition of "You Don't Have To Go"), Kid Rock (an even blacker "Honky Tonk Woman"), George Jones (the novelty-framed "Don't Be Ashamed of Your Age"), and Kris Kristofferson (an especially poignant take on "The Pilgrim: Chapter 33"), the rock of ages cleaves for thee and me. Last Man Standing refers to the famous cover of Million Dollar Quartet, on which he's pictured with fellow Sun artists Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Carl Perkins, all now jamming in the great beyond. Yet in a spoken-word reprise at the end of the Kristofferson song--"From the rocking of the cradle / To the rolling of the hearse / The going up was worth the coming down"--the Last Man seems to suggest his own fine epitaph. It's hard to argue with a hellraiser extraordinaire. --Alanna Nash

Album Description

Twenty-two rock and country legends duet with Jerry Lee Lewis on this incredible package, celebrating The Killer's impact on American music. Among the luminaries igniting these all-new recordings of seminal rock 'n' roll are Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson, Toby Keith, Little Richard, Merle Haggard, Neil Young, and more.

Customer Reviews:

Man, that just blew my mind!.......2007-07-01

About 50 years ago, Sun Records was at the forefront of the beginning of rock and roll, with performers like Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis. The title of this CD refers to the fact that Jerry Lee Lewis is "the last man standing" among these Sun Records legends, which is pretty amazing when you consider that he probably led the wildest life of all of them. For this album, the 70something year old Killer performs duets with a bunch of other record stars. "Duets" is not quite an accurate description, though, since some guests just perform instruments and some guests sing what amounts to background vocals. But the real star here is of course Jerry Lee himself, who proves that he can still sing and pump the piano better than just about anybody. He handles rock, country and blues songs equally well. The duet partners were probably added to make the album more commercial, but they do manage to add something to the mix, since it gives the album more variety. I suspect that their presence also pushed Jerry Lee to do his best, since he wouldn't want to be outshined on his own album. The Killer can frequently be heard joking around with them, which adds to the fun of the album. This is probably the greatest rock and roll album every recorded by a senior citizen, and it puts to rest the lie that rock music is strictly for young people.

It's about time!.......2007-05-28

Jerry Lee is one of the last surviving rock and roll pioneers and it is about time he rec'd some quality attention. I've seen him live, and man, oh, man, is he for real. The production on this project is good, the performances are good, the packaging is good, the song selection is good; this will definitely be a project that will add to his legacy. As with all of us, Father Time is catching up with the Killer, and my personal wish is that whoever was responsible for this project would have done it 10-15 years ago. It seems so many of the early rock and roll pioneers die without really having quality documentation (there is a good special featuring Carl Perkins, which shamefully had to be made in England because he was apparently appreciated more there, and of course Chuck Berry's "Hail, Hail, Rock and Rock" should be in every music lover's home). Now if we could only get new projects from Chuck Berry, or Little Richard, or Fats Domino!

never quit.......2007-05-17

This guy is an immortal. Some people are great forever. He is one.

Age is Showing.......2007-05-15

It is painfully obvious that Jerry Lee isn't the "Killer" anymore, but I am still happy I have added this latest work to my collection.

Wonderful CD.......2007-05-06

This is a great CD if you like the boogie woogie style paino. So many wonderful voices have paired up with Jerry for this one, you can't help but like some of the songs, and fortunately I liked them all. Perhaps my favorite is he with B.B. King--a wonderful piece. This is not a perfectly orchestrated CD, and the "soul" comes through.

Before raising her profile as a solo artist, Emmylou Harris established herself as the harmony queen of contemporary music, from her partnership with Gram Parsons through sessions with the likes of Bob Dylan. Duets showcases her ability to bring out the best in other singers, though its grab-bag selection doesn't necessarily showcase Harris at her best. Released to capitalize on the success of her initial Trio project with Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt, it compiles her collaborations with a variety of artists from the late Parsons (their riveting rendition of "Love Hurts") to Southern Pacific ("Thing About You," a Tom Petty obscurity) to George Jones ("All Fall Down," an album highlight) to Don Williams (their hit duet of Townes Van Zandt's "If I Needed You"). From the sublime (Roy Orbison, Willie Nelson) to the irrelevant (John Denver, Earl T. Conley), the collection is more of a marketplace filler than a cohesive artistic statement. --Don McLeese

Classic Emmylou.......2007-01-07

The harmonies here are exquisite. Not sure what album Amazon's reviewer listened to, but this, as with most of her work, showcases Emmylou at her best.

And, not to sound too nitpicky, but how can anyone who claims to be a true fan spell her name Emmy Lou?

This is one of the best I've heard if you like country & duets... Absolutely wonderful!

Missing Some Major Duets!! .......2005-07-26

These tracks are all excellent but frankly several major country duets are not here!! Where on earth are Kenny Rogers and Dottie West?? Instead we get Rogers with Sheena Easton and the Rogers/Easton combo makes it almost entirely a pop recording and it should not be on this package. Buck Owens & Rose Maddox have a track but where is Buck with his far more famous duet partner Susan Raye? The Merle Haggard - Janie Fricke track should not have been included since she really only just sings harmony on the record. Why aren't Jimmy Wakely & Margaret Whiting who started the male/female star duet craze in 1949 with Slipping Around here or Kitty Wells & Red Foley, the first superstar duet? And where are Ferlin Husky & Jean Shepard, Jack Greene & Jeannie Seely, David Houston & Barbara Mandrell, Bobby Bare & Skeeter Davis, Roy Drusky & Priscilla Mitchell, Don Gibson & Dottie West, Johnny Duncan & Janie Fricke, to name just a few of the famous country duos of yore. Instead we have too many tracks with the same artists here. It's a very good package but it should have been a great and classic one.

Brenda Lee The Best.......2007-05-23

I thought the WHOLE cd was wonderful. Not only the first and last song the whole thing.

Brenda Lee still at her best!.......2007-05-12

Little Miss Dynamite's latest album is wonderful. She sings some great gospel songs with some really great artists. Some of the participants are Martina McBride, Allison Kraus, Kix Brooks, Ronnie Dunn, and Emmylou Harris. All the tracks are great, but a couple stand above the rest. They are the first and last on the album too. The duet with Dolly Parton "This Ole House" is wonderful, and it gets the album off to a great start. Then Huey Lewis helps Brenda close it with the excellent "Oh Happy Day." This album is definitely a must for fans of great music.

Miss Dynamite Exploding With Love for Her Lord.......2007-04-27

Prime Cuts: This Old House (with Dolly Parton), In the Garden (with Alison Krauss), I Saw the Light (with Vince Gill)

To hold a CD of newly recorded material by Brenda Lee is itself a miracle. Despite the copious re-recordings of her greatest hits, the last full -length studio CD by Miss Dynamite has been her 1991 eponymous Warner Brothers debut. After all these time, Lee has not lost a single iota of her textured and resonant voice that first awarded her the appellation "Miss Dynamite." Albeit this is a cover-album of 10 familiar hymns of the Christian church, Lee imbues each song with her unique emotional cadences that demands attention--something that will not disappoint fans who have had grown up with her lifelong stretch of hits. Much more impressive this time round is that Lee has sat comfortably on the producer's chair and her ability to garner 10 of Nashville's hottest artists to duet with her is staggering. This really testifies to what a commanding presence this former CMA multiple-winner still is in today's musical landscape.

Opener, "This Old House," is a compelling gospel number about the effect of Christ's second coming on our present life on earth. A track that grooves along an infectious melody, Dolly Parton and Lee sound on the top of their game. Sounding an octave higher than we are accustomed to, Parton beautifully echoes Lee in the chorus as if to affirm every syllable Lee is trying to articulate. Emmylou Harris, with her delicate and controlled falsetto, adds a matured but affirming presence to sparse unbridled ballad "Jesus Loves Me," making it simmer with an affecting palpability that bespeaks to not just kids but adults. While Vince Gill kicks off the sawdust a little by adding a spirited honky-tonk semblance to "I Saw the Light" that really gives the whole album a more uplifting feel. On the other hand, Alison Krauss' dreamy almost ethereal read gives "In the Garden" a contemplative tactility that makes this devotional call to walk, reflect and mediate on the Lord's even more engaging. A more surprising coadjutant is rock artist Huey Lewis who brings an almost fresh urgency to "O Happy Day" and his uncouth delivery (which calls to mind a little of Bryan Adams) certainly adds grit to this collection.

However, the major fault of such a covers of over-familiar hymns is the lack of imagination vis-à-vis through an almost pew-like rendition of them without much ingenuity from the artists. Though Martina McBride has formerly recorded an album's full of evergreens, her take of "Uncloudy Day" is so religiously faithful to the point of her dictation that it comes across as pedantic. Likewise, George Jones sounds so lazy and laidback that he seems to sniff out Lee's firey performance making "Have a Little Talk with Jesus" a long bore of a conversation. Even Ronnie Dunn, who usually is one of the most animated singers in country music, sounds sedated on "Where Could I Go But to the Lord." Perhaps due to Lee's unfamiliarity in the helm's chair, maybe a few less familiar choices might be the panacea. Further, after almost 16 years since her last disc, maybe a couple of originals might not be too much in the asking.

Overall, albeit the album's weaknesses, this CD is still a welcome return for Lee. With a disc full of today's hottest stars, this album attest to the respect the Music Row community still attributes to Lee. Rightly so--Lee does not disappoint all the way through these 10 paeans. Her grasp for the emotional fervor of each note coupled by her ability to bring to expression her heartfelt love for the Lord are reasons to crown this effort with superlatives such as "stellar" and "great." In short, she is still Miss Dynamite but this time exploding with a contagious affection for her Lord.

Love this CD but prefer Every Time Two Fools Collide.......2002-02-23

This CD has 10 songs on it (8 are duets with Kenny Rogers and Dottie West). Doesn't get better than that. "Don't Fall in Love with a Dreamer" with Rogers and Kim Carnes is great and then there is "We've Got Tonight" with Sheena Easton and Rogers. Unless you are really stuck to hear the Sheena Easton and Kim Carnes duets, you would probably be better off buying "Every Time Two Fools Collide" which is a collection of Kenny Rogers and Dottie West duets.

Amazon.com

When Bill Monroe pushed the mandolin forward as a lead instrument, he opened a Pandora's box of musical possibilities, but even he couldn't have imagined a recording like this. Neither classical nor jazz nor bluegrass, the sound owes much to David Grisman--whom Marshall studied under and Thile worshipped--who just called it "dawg music." Call these live instrumentals "cat music": slinky, cool, effete, at times sphinx-like, at times blissed out on improvisational 'nip. Culled from a range of small-theater concerts in the winter of 2003, the set emphasizes original compositions--some written collaboratively--and one Bach revision, plus a blazing Bulgarian folk tune. Though writing credits are split evenly, Marshall is the de facto leader here. His jaunty, funky rhythms keep Thile's capricious twists grounded through the time shifts of "The Only Way Out," and his playful countermelodies turn the pastoral, seven-minute excursion "Joy Ride in a Toy Car/Hey Ho" into an experiment from a time machine set to either 1740 or 2740. The improvisation on a Bach violin partita, however, conveys the warmest, clearest melody, while "Sedi Donka" deserves its own genre: thrashgrass. Hearing these two maestros, the most expert mandolinist will likely succumb to despair--albeit a dizzying, lyrical, even beautiful despair. --Roy Kasten

Gorgeous, fascinating, mind-altering musical collaboration. I can't stop listening to these pieces. Each one is different and each one is a seamless fabric made up of many adventures. This album captures the meeting of two national treasures at their best - if you love music, you owe it to yourself to spend some time with this album.

Enchanting.......2007-01-04

I love this cd...at first I thought it would simply be pleasant "background music" (which is is) but found that I couldn't help but be engaged with every song. The more I listen to it, the more I find and I am always amazed. Highly recommended..Chris Thile rocks my world!

The duo works well together to create nuance and significant emotional content.......2006-03-14

Playing Time - 53:00 -- With Mike Marshall in the left speaker, and Chris Thile in the right, "Live Duets" captures two virtuoso mandolin masters at work. After the opening cut of their composition, "Shoulda Seen It Comin'," we can hear one of the players comment, "We're gonna have fun tonight!" And that is no doubt why this record was made ... for us to enjoy the fun and energy of their 16 strings in consummate performance. After the second cut, Mike says, "This is fun!" Based on their power and strength, the dynamic duo could very well be two super heroes in disguise. This sequel to their successful 2003 collaborative effort, "Into the Cauldron," takes us into some similarly adventurous territory. To these guys, Mandoville has no city limits. Four cuts feature one of the guys playing mandocello, and one of those (Thile's "Hualalai") actually has Marshall on both mandola and mandocello.

There are a couple ways to tune into the music of this indefatigable duet. One is to listen very intently to appreciate the sensational musical telepathy and groove happening between the two. Mandolin players might want to follow this course. Another approach is to merely relax and let the notes and rhythms casually weave their way through a Zen-like atmosphere in search of truth and understanding. To me the players' minds seem clear of all limitations as they strive for oneness in their music. They realize that there's really only one way that they can collaboratively succeed - and that is along a musical path that is straight, open, wide, and free of obstructions. A traditional Bulgarian tune, "Sedi Donka," begins with Thile demonstrating the complicated rhythm to the audience ... long, short, short, long, short, short, short, short, long, short, short. The song's genesis includes aqueous improvisation and tremolo built around the tune's unique melody.

Through invisible, sound does have much color. Marshall and Thile use their instruments in much the same way that Monet and Piccasso used paintbrushes. The juxtaposition of one's notes with the other's creates each piece's coloring. Notice how their sonic colors work together to produce feelings. I was very happy to see a delicate piece like Marshall's 2-minute "'Til Dawn" breathe some slower air into the overall set. With high musical intellect, good ears, and considerable sensitivity, the duo works well together to create nuance and significant emotional content. Check out their musical canvas to discover the special quality of their sound. As with most live albums, applause between songs can be a little annoying. (Joe Ross, staff writer, Bluegrass Now)

Genius cannot begin to describe this........2006-03-03

Have you listened to this album yet? If not, you are leading a sad, sad life. I am beginning to think that Chris Thile could take a poo on a mandolin and it would sound amazing. This is my first taste of Mike Marshall and I wonder why I went so long without him. Just buy it. If you don't like it, you don't know what good mandolin playing is.

Album Description

Country music's First Couple, Johnny Cash and June Carter began making beautiful music together in 1961, when she began touring with "The Man in Black." Born into one of America's great musical families in the 1920s, the Carter Family (comprising June's mother, the influential guitarist Maybelle, and her aunt and uncle, Sarah and A.P.) helped create the musical template still at work in bluegrass, "traditional" country, and some forms of folk. June made a name for herself by co-writing the huge hit 'Ring of Fire'. A Johnny Cash signature song, it topped Billboard's Country chart for seven weeks in 1963, cracking the Pop Top Twenty, as well. Contains the classics 'Jackson', and 'It Ain't Me, Babe'. Columbia. 2006.

The Ultimate Celebration of Johnny & June's Love.......2006-04-21

"Duets" is an enjoyable compilation of the songs Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash sang together. As would be expected from a duets disc, the romance factor is high. There is a noticeable absence of songs about murder, incarceration or redemption. June brings out the lighter side of the Man in Black. If you've always wanted to get your lady friend interested in Johnny Cash, here's the disc to play. At times, the treatment is a bit corny. The 1970's symphony orchestra and background vocals negatively date some of the songs. The stripped down arrangements make for the most powerful interpretations. Despite the cheesy treatment of some tunes, it's still Johnny and June. They had beautiful voices and they sang good songs. It would be difficult to hear this compilation and not feel good. The "Walk the Line" film made the world more aware of the great relationship between June and the Man in Black. While "Carryin' On With Johnny Cash & June Carter" features additional June and Johnny tunes, "Duets" is the ultimate musical celebration of their love.

In response to comments posted by the reviewer above "Delite Rancher":

Not sure what you've been examining during your 'closer inspection' but I'd suggest that you might want to closely inspect the track listings for these discs again. I see a great deal of overlapping.

Still a great album, certainly worthy of 5 stars, but I stand behind what I wrote earlier. Get one -or the other- but ya don't need both. Unless you're a completist. Period. End of discussion. 'Nuff said.

This appears to be a nicely done re-packaging of the "16 BIGGEST HITS" disc. In fact, when I ripped this disc to my 'puter it came up as....uhhuhhh, you guessed it! '16 Biggest Hits".

Delightful.......2006-12-31

I've bought other alubums of mandolin and guitar and enjoyed them, but this is my favorite. All the selections are enjoyable.

The blend and balance between Baldassari's mandolin and Mock's guitar are the best I've ever heard on any recording of mandolin and guitar recordings.

I wasn't sure how a bluegrass mandolin player would do on classical pieces, but Baldassari is more than equal to the task in my opinion. He chose to play his Gibson F-5 and F-5C mandolins and could not have made a better choice. He produces the best tone I've ever heard from any mandolin; full, rich and balanced. Any limitations inherent in the mandolin are not to be heard; nothing tinny, nothing hollow, just pure golden tone.

John Mock's guitar playing blends seamlessly with Baldassari's mandolin.

I'm a cassual listener to classical music. I enjoy what I enjoy, but I'm not tutored or schooled. All I know is that I like what I like. This is good stuff.
