Del Doc & Mac

Amazon.com
Even without the fake pops and scratches on the set opener--the charming ballad "Little Green Valley"---this collaboration of titans owns a distinct old-time flavor. Appealing hymns with intricate harmonies accompany lilting cowboy sing-alongs, age-old folk, hard-driving bluegrass, and traditional country songs. It is interesting to compare the different vocal styles of the three legends; despite the differences, sincerity is the common thread. The warmth and intimacy of the informal performances here recall simpler times. Having nothing left to prove in their musical careers, Mac, Doc, & Del are picking and singing for their own pleasure, playing songs that are personal favorites and simply enjoying the company of kindred spirits. Of course, their genuine love for this music actually proves a whole lot. --Marc Greilsamer

It's not the "Tonight" show any more!.......2006-08-08

The entire disc is superb and who knew Doc could play like this? Wow! And of course, being an Ohio native, the fact that it's the Cincinnati Orchestra is just a bonus.

Trumpet Spectacular.......2006-03-22

A great selection of music. Severson's performance is outstanding. Sound reproduction is exceptionally good. If you enjoy trumpet you should have this CD

The Best of Both.......2005-12-24

This album really lets Severinson shine. I always felt he was underchallenged on the Tonight Show. And Kunzel is at his best here, too. If you like Doc and Erik, also give a listen to Big Band Hit Parade.

Amazing technic, but poor tone........2005-12-01

I listened to this cd and the technic is truly amazing. This guy is really good-BUT-he has that nasty jazz tone that doesn't do well in classical music. Especially disturbing is the Bach-Busoni Chaconne. Listen to the piano performance by Evgeny Kissin and you'll know what I mean. Good for motivation for brass students, but if you want some really good, sweet classical, go somewhere else.

Doc at his best!!.......2005-11-26

Of course, we all knew and loved Doc Severerinsen as the top shelf band leader fronting the top-shelf Tonight Show Band when Johnny was at the helm. But this collection shows Doc as he really is.....not "just" a top lead trumpet man, but indeed, a top trumpet player. He appproaches ALL music with a seriousness and respect that only a true musician can bring to a composition, no matter WHAT the genre. All great instrumentalists will tell you that the goal is to sound as much like the human voice as possible. As Doc approaches the Puccini suite, you understand what they mean. His technique is beyond category, able to deliver nuance and expression as any instrumentalist (and vocalist!) would ever hope to. This is a must for any music lover, and for any student of the trumpet.....time to go to school! And bring a lunch!

Not bad, but:.......2000-12-05

Too much Mac, not enough Doc. However it is worth it just for "New Moon" alone.

Not sure about this one........2000-07-26

No doubt Mac Wiseman, Doc Watson and Del McCoury have contributed so much to the world of country and bluegrass music and deserve to be legends. There were some cuts on this CD that I just couldn't stand to listen to. I did like the cuts that Del sang on, and his son Ronnie is sensational on the mandolin. I'm just not sure this is going to be one of my favorite CD's.

A pleasure each time I listen.......2000-05-03

I find this album a joy, and it remains fresh and interesting each time I listen. The harmonies and instrumentals showcases the great collaboration between the artists. I have been listening to country for about a year now. This CD convinced me that my musical home is in bluegrass. My other bluegrass favorites are "The Mountain" (McCroury, Earle), and "BlueGrass Rules" (Skaggs). If you like them, I think you will like this one as well.

A Gem of a CD.......2000-02-03

I don't know where I've been, I only recently discovered Del McCoury when he was on Prairie Home Companion. I ordered this CD and I was a little put off by it at first, because of the lack of polish. But "Speak to Me My Darlin'" really grabbed me; a simple tune with sparse instrumention sung soulfully by Del. Then the more I listened to the CD the more I fell in love with the whole thing. It has such a purity and a charm to it, it's a good thing I live alone because I've been playing it constantly. "Live and Let Live," "Talk of the Town," "Black Mountain Rag," and "More Pretty Girls Than One" especially are standouts, but the whole thing is great. I have two more Del McCoury CD's on order though which I'm looking forward to very much, after having had a chance to see him and his band in concert recently.
