Customer Reviews:

The best - as usual.......1999-06-01

A great collection for the whole family - a great sound for the generation x. I love it!

Great price, but not a real 'box set'.......1999-05-04

This collection is not a 'box set' in the way most people think of the term. It is not a collection of best works, put together with nice packaging and a descriptive booklet. Rather, it is three CDs (titled "Walkin' After Midnight", "Today, Tomorrow and Forever", and "Don't Ever Leave Me Again" after the first song included on each). There is no booklet or descriptive information, just these three CDs tossed in a box. Many, if not most, of her biggest hits are missing. If you like the songs in this set, go for it. You can't beat the price. But if you are looking for a Patsy Cline collection, this isn't it.

Customer Reviews:

Hit or miss.......2003-10-24

eh...picked this up to check out after stumbling upon another wonderful KK tribute called "Nothing Left to Lose," which I love. This one has its moments, but overall doesn't hold a candle to the other, in my book. Pretty hit or miss, doesn't hold together as great, and largely pretty straight-ahead. I already knew the songs, so didn't really need to hear so many straight covers, and most of the more experimental stuff is mixed in terms of success. Might be good for an old-school kk fan, but my money's on the other moodier tribute. But then maybe I'm just being moody.

what a great compilation.......2003-07-25

Kris Kristofferson is seriously deserving of a tribute compilation, having not nearly received enough respect for his literate and unique songwriting. As one of those artists (Dylan, Cohen, etc.) whose voice is an obstacle for some, what better way of getting past that to the songs than to present them with fresh voices. The song choices, artist choices and general production here is excellent. A particular highlight is the very underrated Chuck Prophet and his version of 'loving her was easier", featuring a Glen Campbell-ish baritone guitar line and a star-trek-like descant from his long-time sidekick, stephanie finch. Also damn near perfect is the choice of John Doe for "Me and Bobby McGee". Inspired, as is the rest of this set.

Suprised!.......2002-12-20

Being an old KK fan I bought this album really to just hear the songs again. I was not familar with many of the artists who were covering his songs so it was just a shot in the dark for me. I continue to be suprised each time I listen and this CD has opened a complete new genre of musicians for me. The lyrics of his songs continue to soothe my physic and these "new" renditions inspire a new feeling to each song. RR Ogden

Not a quality effort. Needs more background vocals and a professional arranger. Good regional effort but not yet ready for the big time.

Album Description

Now you can own the two great albums by The Front Porch Country Band that have dominated MP3.com's Country Music Charts for months. This special offer bundles the Original American Country of Somebody Tonight with the uplifting patriotic music of America Standing Tall - The American Trilogy for one low price.

It was always about the music. Six superb musicians. Consummate stage performers. Shared friendships and earned respect. Years spent separately and together in endlessly different combinations in studios and on the road in great regional bands. Openers. Headliners. Careers spent mastering mostly other people's music. Ready now to lay down their own markets. To make their own musical statements. In their own style. "Original American Country" they call it. Cultivated and harvested in the rich green valleys of Pennsylvania's rolling Susquehanna River basin. And yes, the legend is true. A rock dropped out of the sky and this band was born. Just like the 30-ton meteor that exploded in that nearby cornfield on 23 July 2001, almost nobody saw it coming. But millions heard it when it hit. These singer-songwriters heard it too, during a recording break on their studio porch. Really. Within 72 hours they were suddenly making their own musical shock waves as their first hot original single rolled across radio airwaves. Audiences took immediate notice. Requests for live shows. Talk of an album. New original music. New original songs. Rehearsals scheduled. And then the tragedy struck. Like millions of their fellow countrymen, the utter anguish. But they're musicians, and the Sunday night rehearsal turns spontaneously into a 36-hour recording marathon session. Their shared outpouring of grief. A creative explosion. A chance to help. And on September 18th 2001, exactly one week after the attacks, the airwaves roll again, this time in tribute to fallen heroes: AMERICAN STANDING TALL - THE AMERICAN TRILOGY. "Historic…the greatest album ever to come out of Pennsylvania…" the writer said. Now people really are listening. Heavy airplay in markets from New York to Hawaii. Scheduling the first national tour. Now finally, audiences coast to coast will see and hear the magic for themselves. All of America has been ready for this for a long time, and we're all listening. Because after all, it was always about the music.
