5 out of 5 stars Hot Hits from Al Hirt.......2007-04-10

This CD has most of the hottest hits from Al Hirt. The performances are his best and the audio quality is awesome. I recommend this to anyone who loves jazz, dixieland or trumpet music.

5 out of 5 stars simply the BEST.......2006-09-10

Al Hirt's virtuosity stands alone in the long line of trumpet greats.This CD proves that... many times over... especially with the YET to be equalled "I can't get started with you" of Bunny Berigan fame.Al's power and technical ability just bowls over even the most advanced listeners/players who can appreciate his talent and expertise.Al's real talent came from showmanship and his likeable style and light to catchy pop and dixieland themes."Fly Me to the Moon" and "Out of Nowhere" exhibit the melding of raw trumpet power and sweet memorable renditions of wonderful melodies of the past, but"Bourbon Street Parade" shows how really great Al and his talented band was in the live arena.This CD provides all the moods and variations of Mr Hirt's unbelievable mastery of the trumpet.He is missed by many and this CD is a tribute to that great talent.

5 out of 5 stars GREAT COLLECTION.......2004-12-24

Al Hirt does have a way of showing himself approval of being the best out there. I still have some of his albums almost 'bout to collect a whole lot of 'em from the '60s and now. Excellent work from the man himself. R.I.P.

5 out of 5 stars GREAT COLLECTION.......2000-04-18

I personally own 68 albums by Al, and I wouldn't part with any of them for love, nor money.

3 out of 5 stars So-So Curb Appeal.......2007-07-05

Not a bad collection for the price. Most are reasonably clean sounding original hits and a couple are actually hard to find on CD (Si Zentner's "Up A Lazy River" and Pee Wee Hunt's "12th Street Rag"). But, as with many Curb compilations, there are at least two NSR'S (those dreaded "New Stereo Recordings") included...both Roger Williams selections. "Autumn Leaves" I can understand and accept. It sounds almost exactly like the original except much cleaner. But re-recording "Born Free" (already in stereo) makes absolutely no sense, especially since the only noticeable difference is the unfortunate deletion of the chorus vocal. What's the point, folks?

Calypso King Harry Belafonte will always be known for his smooth voice and island-infused music. All Time Greatest Hits, Vol. I would not be complete without Belafonte's signature piece, the tropical work song "Day O." Its lasting appeal has probably been because of its place in music history as a cultural reference point, but it is also a wonderful showcase for the control Belafonte had over his instrument. Just try mimicking his note-perfect run of "He say day, he say day, he say day o-o-o" and you'll get the point. All Time Greatest Hits, Vol. I also has standards like "Michael, Row the Boat Ashore" and "Abraham, Martin, and John." And, of course, the wonderfully playful "Cocoanut Woman" is here in all its exotic charm. --Steve Gdula

4 out of 5 stars A Super Singer.......2002-03-22

I still remember the Carnegie Hall performance by Harry Belafonte. It was an excellent recording. This Vol 1 greatest package is very very good. 'Dayo' and 'Island in the Sun' are of course included. If you only want one Belafonte recording, make it this one.

5 out of 5 stars wonderful.......2000-05-24

A great selection of Belafonte's music, showing his ability to sing everything from touching ballads (Scarlet Ribbons) to Calypso (Mama Look a Boo Boo) to American traditional (John Henry). He has a great voice and can convey an astonishing range of emotions, from humor to pathos. And it is all capped by one of the great songs of all time Jamaica Farewell. Very good sound quality too.

4 out of 5 stars great calypso music!.......2000-03-19

i loved all the songs in this cd especially day-o and cocoanut woman. jamaican farewell is a song we used to sing as children and it has brought back sweet memories. anyone who has heard these songs once is not likely to forget it ever!

4 out of 5 stars Good listening.......1999-10-09

Calypso music is wonderfully uplifting, and Belafonte is the King of Calypso.

I must confess, though, that I find Day-O to be pretty annoying. Especially that "6 foot, 7 foot, 8 foot BUNCH!" line.

5 out of 5 stars Classics of Como.......2005-12-18

This is a collection of Perry Como's songs. It is not a full collection but certainly will cover more than just the basics of this man's singing career. The songs are ones recorded as early as 1945 and as late as 1970. My personal favorites are "It's Impossible" and "Hot Digity" and "Papa Loves Mambo." Early in my freshman year in college, one of my friends heard "Papa Loves Mambo" from this CD and enjoyed it so much, he blasted it out of his dorm room as most blast rap music. How about that? Perry Como being played loudly and proudly in a Freshman College dormitory in the fall of 2005? RIP Perry Como, you were a huge inspiration to all for whom you have sung.

5 out of 5 stars Mr. Nice Guy.......2000-09-10

This man's voice just calms the nerves and gives a new meaning to life itself. His warmth and love surround you until you're totally engrossed in a dream of peace and tranquility. The man is sincere in anything he does and it comes thru in this album quite clearly. Can't wait for vol 2! I have all his recordings since the early 40's (yes, they are breakable and pretty scratchy now (78's) that's why I appreciate this album or cd so much.I can now dream along with Mr. Nice Guy once again.

1 out of 5 stars Perry Como was a sub par singer!.......2000-05-11

I was disappointed with this album. Being a huge Martin / Sinatra fan, I was told I would enjoy Como by a friend. Unfortunately, the man could not sing. His voice cracks and cracks, no flow, nothing. PS The arrangements to most songs are even worse. SAVE YOUR MONEY FOR DEAN AND FRANK!

5 out of 5 stars Great Como Sampler.......2000-04-25

Larry Bird is sometimes called basketball's all-time greatest "pure shooter". In that spirit, I would call Perry Como pop music's greatest "pure singer". This compilation contains most of his big hits from the 1950's. It was during that period that Como recorded a wide variety of songs from the beautiful "No Other Love" to "Papa Loves Mambo", which are included on this CD. He seemed to want to prove that his smooth, relaxed style could adapt even to such songs as "Ko-Ko-Mo", and he pretty well succeeded. Unfortunately, the CD does not include other great songs of the period, such as, "All At Once You Love Her", "And I Love You So", and "Wild Horses". Nor does it include very many of his earlier hits.

If you want some of his very best, this is a great buy. I believe, however, that his new double CD with 44 of his hits will turn out to be a better buy. I do not have that as yet, but I know the songs and that would be my choice. As it is, I will buy the new album and get repeats.

4 out of 5 stars A Mixed Bag of Greatest Hits.......1999-10-18

This compilation also includes Perry's 1957 hit record "Round and Round" mistakenly excluded here. This is an early 1988 compilation and it's another one of those jumbled up collections having no particular sense. The classic collection is still Perry's 1958 album "Como's Golden Records" which was released on CD a few years after this one. To call this set Perry's "All Time Greatest Hits" is certainly a misnomer but no less foolish than other attempts to do the same thing. BMG should focus on a theme and do it well, the 40s, the 50s, the 60s etc., or even the 70s from which one out of context song is included here. Perry's fans cover a wide range and the selection here is random at best and disjointed at the worst. The technical quality of these recordings is OK but nothing special and nothing rare! It took a third party, Time-Life Music, to release Perry's recording of "Catch a Falling Star" in stereo for the first time as many of his other greatest hits have yet to be.

So sad that we recently lost this great entertainer. But we can still hear him singing his great songs that we will always remember on this "Greatest Hits" CD. He has others, but I like this one the best. I highly recommend this to others.

True, hard-core Western Country! Thanks Buck Owens for years of super music that stayed true to the sound. Live on. Live well. Be happy. Listen to Buck.

5 out of 5 stars Thee Best CD Ever From BuckOwens.......2004-03-11

When it comes to Buck Owens there is no other that can out preform him on stage. This is just one of his best works!

5 out of 5 stars Buck Owens and his legacy.......2002-02-26

Buck Owens dominated the country charts in the 1960s. With his signature frieght train sound, catapulted by Don Rich's searing lead guitar riffs and high tenor harmonies, Owens became the torch bearer of the Bakersfield Sound. This compilation serves up some of Owens' biggest hits including Act Naturally, Tiger by the Tail, and Together Again. It also showcases Owens' early Capitol releases including, Excuse Me I Think I've Got a Heartache and Under Your Spell Again. But this compilation does not stop there. Also included is Owens' Made in Japan, which features Don Rich's masterful fiddle overdubs and flawless guitar work. Owens'version of Streets of Bakersfield and Big in Vegas give the listener some of Owens' later works. Overall, this album displays a slice of each stage in Owens' career with Capitol Records. The style and sound featured on this album make modern country acts look like sharecroppers. This is an important album in my collection and it should be in yours too.

3 out of 5 stars Think Of Me When You're Lonely.......2001-06-12

The first volume of great juke-box music from the best Country performer of the 1960s and 70s, ALL TIME GREATEST HITS VOLUME 1 hits most of the highs--"Act Naturally," "Streets of Bakersfield, "Made In Japan," "Think Of Me," and the killer "Tiger By The Tail"--and one real clunker, "Big In Vegas."

As with all Owens records, the writing is good, the singing is better, and the guitar playing is flawless.

5 out of 5 stars Jones Hits Sherrillized..........2004-12-23

Released in 1977 - when George Jones was in the depths of his alcohol and cocaine addiction - ALL-TIME GREATEST HITS, VOL 1 showcases some of the many great songs Jones had popularized in the previous two decades. Producer Billy Sherrill shows his genius here in giving these songs the treatment they deserve and these gems sparkle all the more with his classic touch.

All the hits are here, including "White Lightnin'," "The Race Is On," "Walk Through this World With Me," and "The Window Up Above" (the ladder, while respectable, does not come close to the chilling original version, which features Jones discovering his trademark vocal delivery). In addition, Jones' often overlooked skills as a songwriter is revealed, with him being credited with composing "My Favorite Lies," "Why Baby Why," and the forlorn "She's Mine," which has a surprise ending which will likely make tears well up in your eyes. You may have heard these songs before but it is worth hearing them again framed with Sherrill's immaculate touch. Hunt it down now!

4 out of 5 stars Good CD, but Re-records.......2004-08-14

This is a good CD, but if you're looking for the real "hits", skip this one. SOme of the songs sound downright lazy, like this slowed down re-record of "The Race Is On", as well as this version of "She Thinks I Still Care".
The high points of this collection are as follows:
First, this CD contains the best version (and there have been a few) that Jones ever recroded of "White Lightnin'." This version far surpasses the original Murcury recording and the Musicor version where they tried to get by using twin fiddles (very cheezy).
The second high point is the very "true-to-the-original" re-record of "She's Mine."

All in all, this is a good CD (Jones couldn't record anything that wasn't), but keep in mind that these are NOT the original hits, and they will sound just like what they are: Re-records.


1 out of 5 stars Flat Re-Recordings of Early Hits.......2003-07-26

All of the tracks on this CD are re-recordings of previous hits while George was at other labels, Mercury, United Artists, Musicor and are flat and nonengerized. The Problem is there is not a cd collection that combines all of George's best songs from the various labels into one collection. This country music legend has 162 charted songs in his 50 year career, so it is very difficult to find some of the material in some kind of collection. The Best Pre-Epic collections out there are "Cup of Loneliness: The Classic Mercury Years and She Thinks I Still Care-The George Jones Collection which covers the United Artist Material. Both of the collections are 2 CD sets.
The recordings from George's time with the Musicor label, after United Artist, has never really been properly put into a collection, one must look to the cheap Federal, Hollywood or Deluxe labels for this material and the sound quality is usually poor. The Best Epic Collection of George's work is the Essential George Jones-Spirit of Country 2CD collection. After this there is A George Jones Collection that covers the best of his MCA work. If you can afford all of these 2CD sets mentioned and find a descent cd covering the Musicor material and also buy the George Jones Collection covering the MCA material you have it covered, oh but what about the mateial after the MCA material, The Asylum years,The Cold Hard Truth Album with the fine ballad "Choices" Jones's catalogue is exhausting. However in the meantime, skip this poor, worthless, ALL-TIME GREATEST HITS VOL. 1 CD. The Orginal versions are always the best versions even if they are on costly collections

5 out of 5 stars A Great Starting Point For Your Jones Collection.......2000-03-20

If you're trying to learn about the music of the greatest singer in country history and are bewildered by his vast catalog of forty-odd years, here's an easy and cheap starting point. Done in 1976 these re-recordings of Jones earlier crowd-pleasers are excellently done: Sherill's production is tasteful and intelligent, for once, the chorus is muted, the sound fine. And Jones, given here finally, half a chance, reaches Sinatra-like lustre on the ballads (especially "She Still Thinks I Care") and shines up the old rockers like "White Lightnin'" far beyond the originals. This is the way re-recordings should be: mature, better thought-out, and ultimately definitive. One of the all-time best Jones album covers, too.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars classic oldies.......2005-01-25

This album is a great compilation of 1950s (and some very early 60s) music that spans several different genres. I have fond memories of listening to the disc with my family--I grew up on oldies, even though I'm a child of the 80s.

I'd recommend buying volumes #1 and #2 (although my family has 1-4) if you really like oldies (although at the time of recording, these were "newies"). There are a lot of great compilations out there, but this one ranks high.
