When Concord Music purchased Fantasy Records in 2006, the bulging Stax catalog came along for the ride. Not a bad deal, especially since Stax remains one of the richest and most vital sources of '60s and '70s soul, blues, and R&B. The newly reactivated label's debut release is a lavishly boxed double-disc set of 50 highlights--as opposed to hits--from the Memphis label's voluminous vaults to celebrate its 50th anniversary. All the usual suspects appear, including Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Isaac Hayes, Johnnie Taylor, Eddie Floyd, Albert King, and the Staple Singers. But the compilers deliver a well-rounded, even eclectic collection by including tracks from such relatively obscure acts as the Astors, Ollie & the Nightingales, the Mad Lads, Linda Lyndell, and Mable John, whose "Your Good Thing (Is About to End)" is one of the great lost soul treasures. Propelled in large part by house band Booker T. & the MGs, the majority of these songs have become integral threads in the fabric of American soul. Even at two and a half hours, there's not a dull moment here. That is a testament not just to the Stax musicians, but to a label whose artists defined a classic sound that remains as timeless, relevant, influential, and electrifying as when it was recorded. --Hal Horowitz

stax of hits.......2007-07-07

STAX have a reputation for pure soul as opposed to a certain label who
'motored' off in to a commercial watering-down of black music.Here we have
a generous fifty tracks on two cds of real soul music,not all hits,but all
representative of what STAX could do.A great compilation!

Two and a half magic hours.......2007-06-19

When "The Summer of Love" enters the conversation, most of us mean San Francisco, 1967. Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead. Be-Ins. Flower Power. Sgt. Pepper.

If by "love" we mean white kids from all over the country convening in urban crash pads --- well, that sets the bar pretty low, doesn't it? Given the opportunity, we could have done that. A lot of us would, even now. Just tell us where to show up.

A year before Martin Luther King, Jr. was killed there, it was a lot harder to show the love in Memphis. And yet, in an ancient movie theater in South Memphis, black and white musicians made some of the most inspired music we'll ever hear.

Let Motown own the slicker-than-snail-snot "commercial" franchise of urban black music.

And nine bows to Atlantic, with 18 singles on the Billboard Hot One Hundred Charts in the late Spring of 1967 --- ranging from Aretha Franklin doing the unofficial black national anthem ("Respect") to the white Long Island band, the Young Rascals. The only other competition Stax had in this rarified interracial zone in the late `60s: Sly & the Family Stone.

At Stax, something wonderful flourished, and it's in the grooves for all to hear --- starting with an interracial house band backing up such megawatt soul signers as Otis Redding, Sam and Dave, Rufus Thomas and Eddie Floyd. Their influences were various: rock, pop, country, blues. Mixed together, they produced music that was at once familiar and not --- music that jarred the ear just enough that you had to listen to it.

But "produced" isn't quite the right word. At Stax, they mostly recorded "live." Even when they didn't, the theater's acoustics made music sound "live." As a result, you heard an excitement --- a vibrancy --- in these records that was available nowhere else in American popular music. Just listen to one of the 50 songs on the Stax 50th Anniversary Celebration when the horns --- horns! --- kick in and you'll remember how exciting music could be.

There was so much talent on the label it was able to survive the December '67 plane crash that killed Otis Redding and two-thirds of his backup band. The reason: Stax had the Staples Singers coming on strong. And Stax had Issac Hayes.

You remember "Shaft" --- "can you dig it?" But Hayes also self-produced "Hot Buttered Soul", a record that featured an unlikely 18-minute version of "By the Time I Got to Phoenix." This was as radically different from `60s pop music as Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On."

This two-CD boxed set has hits galore: "Green Onions", "I've Been Loving You Too Long", "Knock on Wood", "Born Under a Bad Sign" and "Respect Yourself." It also has songs you don't know, oddities that sure sound like hits.

The through-line: men and women singing one love song after another. The music can be raw --- loss makes for even better songs than happiness --- but I don't think I'm making it up when I say the primary ingredient of that music is love. First, of course, love of music, pure and simple. But more, love of the historical moment, love of the knowledge that when we're creating together, there's no reason we can't get along.

This Stax set is testimony to a grand idea, now honored too often only with empty words. It's also great fun, music that holds its own with the best pop this country has ever produced --- music so enjoyable you can forget the moral it contains.

Great mucic with great package.......2007-05-21

This is terrific music. These 50 songs will be among the best you will own in your life. No fillers.

Stax & back to my youth........2007-05-20

I am one of the original English fans from the 60's era & the music really took me back to my teenage years. Very good double cd & very speedy delivery service.

Stax 50th Anniversary Celebration.......2007-05-15

This is a fantastic CD set! Everyone who loved that good music the first time it came out and the second and third times needs to get it! Getting to Memphis to the Stax Museum should be on everyone's list of things to do, especially this year with all the 50th anniversary celebrations.

Johnny Mathis's 2006 return to the spotlight was richly deserved, not because his career needed resurrecting--he's continued touring and recording for breathless fans well into his seventh decade--but because post-boomer generations shouldn't be allowed to roam the world asking "Johnny Who?" when his name gets mentioned. Mathis is that important an artist, and this compendium of his work, best thought of as a winking glance, does an able job of demonstrating why: "Chances Are," a slice of pop brilliance set to a piano with a broken heart, has always sounded as though it's been pulled off a silver platter. The Mathis voice--rich and deep at some turns, high and fragile at others, poured gold either way--seals it in timelessness; it's a pop scholar's very definition of a classic. "Wonderful! Wonderful!" throws off the same sparks to a lesser degree--delivery-wise, it's nearly impossible not to attach the word delightful, and overall it reeks of cultural importance. The rest of these songs add up to a case study in why Mathis matters: "Misty" may be dusty, but it still melts the heart. And "When Sunny Gets Blue," with its slow, sad strings, stings with Roy Orbison-caliber potency. Two previously unreleased tracks, "So Many Stars," produced by Sergio Mendes, and "The Shadow of Your Smile," with Dave Koz and Chris Botti, shine a light on Mathis's more recent work. It holds up brilliantly (not easy, considering Mathis's clean, distinctive voice). It also accounts, probably, for this disc's closing track--Ray Charles wouldn't have recorded his late-career rendition of "Over the Rainbow" with just anybody. If you didn't hear it on Genius Loves Company, hear it here. --Tammy La Gorce

Johnny's BEST.......2007-05-15

I think this is the BEST Johnny Mathis collection of his greatest hits to date. I have been a fan since the early 60's and I have many albums. This, however, brings the BEST songs together collectively. I would recommend this CD if you are as big a fan as I am!!!!

As "Wonderful, Wonderful" as Ever!!.......2007-05-07

Excellent CD and a must for all Mathis fans. Johnny sounds as mellow as ever!!!

What A Family-What A Show!.......2007-05-10

The Lewis Family are one of my favorite gospel and bluegrass artists. I have been friends with them for 20 years. this is a collection of their music for 50 years. I believe that Pop Lewis last song recorded before he died at the age of 99 in 2004-"I Feel Like Traveling On." Pop plays his harmonica and sings very well.
There are a few new songs on the CD compliation. Lewis sings a new song on the project. May the Lewis Family be around for another 50 years.

Number 1 Bluegrass Gospel Family !.......2005-07-16

I have heard this family on stage and in recordings for the past 3 decades. You can't go wrong choosing a Lewis Family recording. What harmonies! What spirit! What a tight professional performing group! You will not regret purchasing this recording - or any Lewis Family recording. Better yet, go see them in person and you will see and hear why they are the Number 1 Bluegrass Gospel Family. Enjoy!!!

CELEBRATION IT IS!!!.......2003-04-09

The album has some songs from the past and some Brand New songs on it. The song "Old Family Table" is worth alone the price of the album. "Family and Friends" Brings an invitation to sit down and enjoy the Lewis Family as they think of their fans as Family and Friends. "Which Came First" talks of the old saying about the Chicken or the Egg debate and in this song it will leave you with little doubt on which one it is, fun spirited it is a toe tappin fun song. Ending the album is

"So Many Years, So Many Blessings" and after spanning a career of 50 Years they have seen Many Blessings during the Many Years.
All in All the album is a combination of hits old and new with new songs.
You can never go wrong buying a Lewis Family Recording. they put 110% into every one and I have never heard on I did not like and I have all their recordings except for two which I am still trying to find since it is from way earlier in their career.
Lastly, Look at checking out Lewis Phillips' recording
"EMPTY FIELDS" Its Lewis' solo project and it is awesome too. I normally do not care for male singers but his record will not dissapoint you!!

Customer Reviews:

This is NOT the Kenton band!.......2001-02-27

This is the Kenton Alumni Band and others from a celebration and conference held on May 30 to June 2, 1991. Some of the sounds were not too good, but some good stuff too. The Kenton discipline is certainly not there, but what can you expect.

Not true to orginial music. Sounded off key and distracted........1999-04-28

Sounded to me like a pickup band from the local musicians union. I know that a lot of the musicians connected with the band were individual stars and performers in their own right. The performance did not follow along from the orginial book. The orginial recordings dating from 1952 were crisp and even when these selections were heard in person they did not deviate from the orginial. I was disappointed that they were not true. The trombone section sounded off key with every one trying to lead. This was a signature of the band and, I am afraid it missed the mark. Now, I know why there was no Ghost Band after his death.

Kenton Alumni reunion. GREAT RETRO-SPECTIVE!!!.......2007-05-31

If you love Kenton, you will love this set, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the original Kenton Balboa band. Most of the famous Kenton Alumni are represented with great new(1991) "takes" on some interesting Kentonian repertoire. Especially worthwhile are the offerings by Bob Florence, Gabe Baltazar, Maynard Ferguson, Buddy Childers and the Candoli Bros. Set also includes a panel discussion disc with some priceless and humorous anecdotes by Pete Rugolo, Anita O'Day, Laurindo Almeida and others. Worth the price. Get this one! Recorded live, but great realistic sound.

An eye-opening Prokofiev survey (try to buy it used).......2006-03-26

I can't see paying full price for a two-CD compensdium, even one as lavish as this package, when all the itmes are samples for promoting Universal's catalog (expect a good representation by Ashkenazy, Rostropovich, Previn, and Gergiev). But the selection is good enough and often rare eough to warrant a buy if the price is low.

As I listened straight through, I was surprised at how unacquainted I actually was with the wide extent of Prokofiev's style. From the very early "Dreams," which could be mistaken for Glazunov through the unfamiliar operas (Betrothal in a Monastery Garden, Semyon Kotko) to the final, sadly diminished works like the Seventh Sym. and the cello concerto, the composer covered every major Russian style of the century. I didn't find any new masterful performances--not that a short excerpt is a good enough trial--but everything here is well performced. Any listener should find something unexpected and intriguing in this two-and-a-half-hour traversal.
