Though Dwight Yoakam's debut as a Western film director won't threaten John Ford's legacy, the soundtrack provides a liberating opportunity. Freed from commercial expectation, he lets his creative impulses roam freely beyond the corral of country classicism, from the tone-poem sophistication of "Words" to the spiritual traditionalism of "The Last Surrender," from the Springsteenesque balladry of "Somewhere" to the extended Allmanesque fade of "No Future in Sight." Songwriting collaborators include ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons on the Texas twang of "The First Thing Smokin'" and Mick Jagger on the barroom weeper "What's Left of Me." Bekka Bramlett contributes vocal support, including an over-the-top duet on the rocked-out gospel of "Who at the Door Is Standing," while the between-song movie dialogue seems to provide more padding than atmosphere. --Don McLeese

Movie Sound Track.......2007-04-04

I bought this album looking for something new/different/and off the wall to play on my radio show, and it has it. It's kinda fun to listen to and the songs are good. For the money it's worth adding to your Dwight Yoakum music library, and will give you 9 Dwight songs that to my knowledge aren't on anything else. Just wish one of them had been a rock-a-billy number....

Dwight's Bad Days.......2006-02-24

After suffering through the"most painful experience" of his life in completing this film, Dwight Yoakam also suffered horrible reviews for it. Maybe he tried to accomplish too much for his first directorial outing, in that he also wrote, scored, and starred in it, but really, it isn't that bad. I'm not a movie critic, I only know that this movie's story line and execution entertain me.(Other than the late Michael Jeter, who was a memorable actor, but at a certain decibel level, his voice makes me want to bite someone). Being a HUGE Dwight fan, I may be biased,but I think this movie's worth a look.

Awesome!.......2002-07-19

My husband and I think this is one of Dwight's best! Although we like everything he does, some songs are better than others. Shows another aspect of Dwight's talents; love the movie clips in between songs!

Not really a soundtrack, but...........2002-07-07

fine music.

First let me say that 'Words', selections which begin and end this CD, the end being a sort of jazzy rendention are the two best tracks on the CD. As I said in my review of the film, in addition to this 'companion' soundtrack, I would have loved to additionally own the 'actual' soundtrack. Some may have found it monotonous, while I myself found it mesmerizing. That soundtrack can be isolated on the DVD and one could record it on tape for their own listening pleasure, but I digress....

This companion soundtrack contains a variety of musical genres. I particularly enjoyed 'Who At The Door Is Standing' and 'What's Left Of Me' and you can't get any more diverse than that.

The between-track dialogue is enjoyment to me. Perhaps because it reminds me of the film, which is one of my favorites.

Anyone who loves Dwight Yoakam, his music, and his band will love the divergence and quality of this CD and will want to have it in their collection.

If you love Yoakam music...you're gonna LOVE this...........2002-06-15

.....but, you might want to skip the movie; it's a "yawner". {Although, Mr. Yoakam "Do look MIGHTY FINE" in all that western wear!:>}

The CD has a western flavor. A refreshing change from the usual Yoakam {not that we don't love that too!} The first cut, "Words" is quiet, reflective....and says alot with a few words, really. "Who At My Door Is Standing", "The Darkest Hour" and "It Is Well With MY Soul, are old gospel favorites done with heart and I enjoyed hearing them by Yoakam. "Somewhere" is my favorite on the CD because it's so western-melancholy-sweet. I relate to his "What's Left Of Me"..I enjoyed the tongue-in-cheek lyrics...{I really can't stand Jagger...so we'll give Dwight most of the credit for this one}. "Tears For Two" and "No Future In Sight" are the same "down-on-your-luck-but-with-a-sense-of-dry-humor" stuff we are used to from him....but with the same western flavor as the rest of the CD. As you can see, I'm not much of an expert when it comes to reviews....but if you enjoy Yoakam music....you REALLY need to add this one to your collection.

Boskovsky's encyclopedic collection with the Vienna Philharmonic, recorded between 1957 and 1976, is as close to definitive as one is likely to get. There was a special camaraderie between Boskovsky and the Philharmonic--he was a member of the orchestra's violin section for 37 years and conducted their New Year's Day concerts from 1955 until 1979. There was also a special empathy that these performers, as custodians of a tradition going back to its origins, felt for the music of the Strauss family. It comes across quite wonderfully on these mid-price CDs, which have been painstakingly remastered for an edition every collector should have. --Ted Libbey

Customer Reviews:

Superb collection.......2006-03-07

If you love or are just curious about the music of Vienna's Strauss family, this is the box set for you. You need look no further. Willi Boskovsky and the Vienna Philharmonic set the standards for the performance of these sublime waltzes, polkas and marches. The sound is fine, too, even though the recordings are not new. This is, quite simply, a magnificent set. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Boskovsky and the Strauss Family of Vienna........2003-06-12

A long series of Strauss music recordings conducted by Willi Boskovsky provides the contents of this slender, super-compact box of 6 CDs. Those who collected the original issues should check the contents before jettisoning them, because not everything has been reissued here. I especially regret that the vocal version of "An der schönen blauen Donau" has been omitted.

No combination has ever excelled Willi Boskovsky and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in performing this repertoire. Although the waltzes, polkas, quadrilles, marches and overtures were performed over and over again by these musicians, there is never a hint of workaday routine or staleness to be heard here. Everything seems to unfold naturally. Each item's inherent character is displayed. Tiny nuances and felicities of phrasing and a balance that favors the melody and reduces the accompaniment make these performances inimitable. The performance of "Morgenblätter" seems to provide a tad more excitement and impact than the other 85 items.

The recordings were made between 1960 and 1976. They are studio recordings, not deriving from the famous New Year concerts, and all but the few items from the very earliest year provide excellent sound.

Hell breaks loose once again........2006-10-25

Swishahouse is a label you either love, or hate; there really is no fine line. In my opinion, their crew of rappers produce some of the best mainstream hip-hop found on today's market, with infectious melodies, hypnotic beats, and average-to-above rappers. I admit I maybe biased towards the label simply because they specialize in hip-hop from one of my favorite cities for the art, but it's hard to deny that while the label has no profound, or thought provoking lyricists, they do have competent rappers with smooth flows, over some of the finest production in the game today.

Unfortunately, while Swishahouse maybe presented as a powerhouse label in today's market, they don't really have a lot of marketable artists currently in their camp. Their biggest star is clearly Paul Wall, and he makes very few appearances on this album; their second biggest star is Mike Jones, and while this album was being completed, Jones left the label, and didn't contribute to it. Though he's back now, he's no where to be found on this release; where your stance on Jones lies in whether that's a positive or negative. The best rapper in their camp next to Wall is H-Town legend, Lil' Keke, and he is clearly the star of this compilation. So as we're all waiting on his major label debut later this year, we've got a number of his songs here to whet our appeties.

The album starts off with a collage of excerts from various Swishahouse artists, from Keke to Wall, from Coota Bang to Yung Redd. The first real track is swerving, which features Archie Lee, Coota Bang, and Lil' Keke. Keke's the star on this track, just as he is on all the tracks he's featured on. The beat is a nice, slow melody reminiscent of some of the 'House's past hits, although it's clear this one won't get much radio play outside of Texas. Juelz Santana shows up on the next track, and though I'm not the biggest fan of the guy who labeled himself "What The Game's Been Missing," Juelz holds it down on this cut, and oddly enough, sounds right at home. He's no match for Lil' Keke though, whose presence on the microphone show his veteran status in the game, despite most people recognizing him as a rookie due to his relative obscurity.

"The Hood Luv Me" supports another tight beat, but Yung Redd nor E-Class aren't going to blow up anytime soon. In fact, throughout this album, the beats are always tight; which is odd for a compilation, when most comps possess throwaway tracks. Unfortunately, the Swishahouse camp sans Lil' Keke and Paul Wall, and a few outstanding guests(Scarface, Z-Ro, Juelz) aren't charismatic enough to carry these tracks where the superior Swishahouse emcees would be able to.

This is a great compilation with dope production, and some great cuts from Lil' Keke, but in the end, this is only a presentation album of Keke's skills for those unfamiliar. It's a nice appetizer while we wait for Keke's upcoming release, and if you're a fan of Swishahouse or H-Town rap in general, this is recommended; otherwise, it's take it or leave it.

Crisp & Coherent.......2004-03-18

Enjoying Classical music for over 50 years, I find it stimulating to listen to a body of work that captures your attention without offending. "Contrasts" is an excellant CD!
To the Classical Purist blending different musical period styles is for the most part an uncomfortable experience. However, from the Composer's point of view, it is a much more difficult task to be able to combine musical/period/styles and pull off a cohesive entity. "Hell's Angels" qualifies, with ease, as one of those rare orchestral pieces. Being a "Classical Purist" makes one content to whirl around in an eddy as opposed to enjoying the whole river and its many currents which freely intertwine. Dom's view

Two Treasures, Two Trifles.......2003-08-26

The real find here is the 'Passacaglia for Orchestra' by a genuine master of American music, the under-appreciated Benjamin Lees, now in his 80th year. The muscular 11-minute 'Passacaglia' is based on a disjunct 24-note quasi-atonal cello theme that strikes me as a deconstruction of the theme from Bach's 'Art of Fugue,' although I have no idea if that was Lees' intention. It consists of the theme followed by nineteen variations and a coda. Lees' mastery of orchestration and compositional inventiveness get a real work-out here. There is metrical and rhythmic diversity (e.g., one of the variations is in 5/8), creative orchestration (one variation has growling trombone/tuba flutter-tonguing, another has hypnotic, but humorous, use of temple blocks), augmentation and diminution of the theme, brass chorales, leap-frogging strings, all leading to the coda for full orchestra with triumphant pealing bells, a joyous conclusion to a short but densely constructed piece that has been played many times by American orchestras but never, to my knowledge, recorded before. It is played brilliantly by the Oregon Symphony under its outgoing music director, the hugely talented James DePreist (the most misspelled conductor in recent memory), a man who has given many of us many memorable performances of 20th-century music. [As if happens, I have another DePreist/Oregon recording in my review pile, a collection of music by Oregon composer Tomas Svoboda.]

The Passacaglia is followed by a classic of American symphonic composition, the Fourth Symphony of Vincent Persichetti (1915-1987). It was composed for and premièred by Eugene Ormandy's Philadelphia Orchestra in 1954 and recorded by them shortly afterward. That mono recording, coupled with an effective suite by Louis Gesensway called 'Four Squares of Philadelphia,' was a staple of the old Columbia catalog for many years. Those performances have been transferred to CD on the Albany Label (and coupled with William Schuman's 'Credendum'); I don't have that CD but a quick listen of my old LP reveals that the Ormandy/Philly recording is more immediately effective that this DePreist/Oregon version. The current recording seems a bit recessed, particularly in the first movement. Also, the whirling violins in IV are a bit covered in the current recording, robbing the exciting finale of some immediacy. I can't say enough for the Oregon winds and brass, however, and suspect the covered strings are the result more of the CD's sound production than the orchestra or conductors doing. This symphony has long been a favorite and you owe it to yourself to familiarize yourself with it, either from this CD or the one on Albany.

The final two pieces here are by Michael Daugherty (b. 1954), who has had a run of recordings recently. I will say up front that I've yet to hear anything by Daugherty that made me want to hear it again. And that goes for these two pieces--'Sundown on South Street' from his Second Symphony, and 'Hell's Angels.' Daugherty's style tends to borrow a good deal from vernacular music--jazz, pop, rock--and frankly it seems to me that he makes a dog's breakfast of it all. Others, obviously, feel much more positive about it. 'Hell's Angels' is a concerto of sorts for bassoon quartet (three bassoons, one contra-bassoon) and it certainly is well-played by the soloists. However, there is such vulgarity and triviality inherent in the piece that I think it is better if I say no more.

Suffice it to say, I recommend this CD for the Persichetti and especially for the Lees. They account for about 38 minutes of the CD's total of 61 minutes.

One final note: I have indicated in some earlier reviews (primarily of re-releases on Naxos of pieces previously released on Delos and featuring the Seattle Symphony under Gerard Schwarz) that I thought the Delos label had gone belly up. Obviously I was wrong. I not only apologize for having suggested it, but hasten to add that I'm delighted to hear that they still exist. They have given us many fine recordings of American music over the years. I hope they continue to do so for many years to come.
