Album Description

Earning Their White Stripes. "But what I'm listening to most of the time at present is an album called Good For What Ails You, which is an album of songs that people used to listen to at medicine shows all over the States. It's quite an interesting album and I think that people would be well advised to pick it up." Jack White - Sunday Mail (Australia) Dec 18, 2005

Five Stars. Groundbreaking. "Fans of Nick Tosches' Where Dead Voices Gather will lap up this extraordinary snapshot of an America that is still shrouded in shadow. Good For What Ails You supplants the Harry Smith collections by surveying the people's music of the day, some of which sounds like nothing you have heard before." Jon Savage - MOJO Dec 2005

Before motion pictures, before radio, before television, the traveling Medicine Shows brought entertainment to America! Flamboyant pitch doctors roamed the land, hawking their tonics, elixirs, and miracle cures, and with them came a host of singers, dancers, comedians, banjo pickers, blues shouters, jug blowers, string ticklers, and minstrel men. The shows died out by mid-20th century, but not before a handful of seasoned veterans left their musical legacy on phonograph records. Here are classic performances by such colorful names as Pink Anderson, Daddy Stovepipe, Gid Tanner, Blind Sammie, Bogus Ben Covington, Fiddlin' John Carson, Banjo Joe, Shorty Godwin, Beans Hambone, Emmett Miller & His Georgia Crackers, the Three Tobacco Tags, and many more!

Two-CD Set / 48 Songs Digitally Remastered / Over 2 Hours of Music / Six-Panel Digipak with 72-page Full Color Booklet

Old Time Music.......2007-05-13

This gave us 50 tracks of original music. Along with it you get a nice booklet that tells the history of the medicine shows and individual descriptions of each track and it's performers.

You will feel so much better.......2007-01-25

You just can't imagine what the life of a performer on the road in the 20, 30's (or earlier) must have been like. The ups of course was the freedom, and the fun at times. The downs include never knowing what was around the corner, the cold (or heat), some of the boarding houses I would imagine would have been dreadful amongst many others.

But at least we can listen to the music. I've only received this the other day and I've not taken it out of the player, it goes to work with me and takes me home again, it plays in the background when I'm busy about the house. Yes some of the sound quality is hissy, but they are old recordings and besides I would rather hear it like that, it adds to the feel. These are happy songs, even when they are talking about slashing someones throat. If you looking at this you obviously have an interest in this style of music and you would be doing yourself a favour by purchasing this wonderful collection. You get 2 CD's and a wonderful booklet that tells you a little history of the genre and pictures of some the the performers on the CD's as well as a little history on each of the songs.

The right medicine for the blahs! Outstanding fun!.......2006-10-23

Step right up..ladies and gentlemen...Are you feeling blah listening to those same old CD's you've had for the last several years? Does today's music leave you cold? Well, you've come to the right place. Restore your enthusiasm...bring back the fun, with 50 recordings from the golden age of medicine shows. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Many of these fine artists are obscure names to most people of this generation...but alas...like an old ancient Indian cure...this box set will bring you back to life. Yes friends and neighbors...it also comes with a beautiful full-color booklet with all the songs, dates and stories of old. Uh..excuse me son, don't crowd the stage. IT'S A PANACEA FOR ALL BORING AILMENTS! Yes and considering how old these gems are (1925-36) they are all in remarkable shape...and your sense of humor will be too. So pick one up today. It;s more fun than a brand new Victrola!

Brings Back Memories to the Old (and Young)!.......2006-08-28

'Good For What Ails You' is a great set of cd's with old songs that were sung at old medicine shows. I remember some of those songs from records and radio programs from my childhood - songs that I had totally forgotten!

I lent the cd's to my father, and they brought back fond memories of his childhood in western OK when the medicine shows would come to town and set up on the square. Everyone would attend the "show" and listen to the music, sales pitches, and go home with something! He truly enjoyed the cd's, also.

Even if medicine shows are new to you, the music is worth the time to listen. Lot's of fun, interesting lyrics, and you might even hear something that has come back again!?

Priceless anthology.......2006-07-05

This element of American history should never be forgotten, and this anthology ensures that it won't. The accompanying booklet is a textbook of fascinating anecdotes and photographs, and it even includes a small, helpful insert of "spelling errata" to guide the reader through the language of the time. The music itself transports the listener to a time that seems like ancient history, populated by snake oil salesmen who employed fast-picking, fast-talking one-man bands to make their product more appealing to the desperately poor. But this collection also reminds us that times haven't changed all that much since those days of the Great Depression. After all, when was the last time you heard a trendy, catchy song in a commercial trying to sell you something as basic as toothpaste?

Rise Again, has been one of my all-time favorite christian songs for as long as I can remember. Such a powerful, inspiring song and a great voice singing it.

spirit filled.......2003-02-09

Dallas can take you right to the throne room! He is sirit filled and I absoulty love his music.

This Music Is Great.......2002-03-19

Dallas Holm is one of the last great lyricists of gospel
music of our time. His insight into the rich spirituality
of the genre speaks volumes for his God-given talent. He
truely has a gift. May God continue to richly bless all
who hear these songs and inspire the writer of them.

Classic Dallas........2001-06-13

A great collection of sixteen songs from one of the legends of contemporary Christian music. It roughly spans his very early music (thus the title), which was a curious mix of "Jesus" music and a touch of Elvis Presley, to the pop sound of the late 70's and early 80's. Wielding his tremendous baritone voice like a broadsword, Dallas Holm captured the essence of what young people and others wanted in their music during that fluid period in Christian music history.

The later songs range from ballads like I'VE NEVER BEEN OUT OF HIS CARE and A BROKEN HEART, which seem to come straight out of his own heart, to the somewhat playful and rocky JESUS IS A RIVER OF LOVE, and on to the intensity of I SAW THE LORD and the soaring anthem and signature song RISE AGAIN.

Pick this one up. The message it conveys is as valid today as it ever has been and the music is timeless. This CD could have been twice as long. If you can find any of his old LP's or cassettes, I would highly recommend them.

Bolero .......2007-01-12

This CD is exactly what I was looking for. Bolero over and over with different performers.

Loads of fun.......2004-07-09

This is a fun little album consisting of ten versions of Ravel's greatest "hit" -- the fantastic "Bolero." This album covers the waterfront -- from synthesizer to Benny Goodman. My only complaint is that the quality of some of older recordings in particular is rather poor. In fact you need to crank up the volume on two or three cuts, otherwise you won't even realize the song has begun. It would be interesting to apply this concept to any number of the great classical and popular pieces that one can't seem to get enough of -- how about Cole Porter's "Night and Day" for starters?

Customer Reviews:

Quantity Over Quality.......2007-01-15

As a musician myself, I know too well that one of the most important ingredients in ANY performance (live or recorded) is passion. The recordings here generally lack the same passion and sheer drama of the originals. Much of the instrumentation has been reduced to a cheezy, thin, plastic synthesized replica. The performances are simply a watered-down lackluster version of the classic originals. If it were not for the sheer volume of tracks compiled here, I would have rated the comp only "one star".

Mediocre.......2006-05-17

The sound quality for this collection isn't much better than the samples offered by Amazon.

One Hundred Greatest TV Themes.......2005-08-06

I have watched almost all the shows that are on these 4 cd's. Many were made before I started watching TV. Most I've seen once or twice before.

Pretty close to original recordings.......2005-07-24

Definitely not as good as the originals. You'll probably notice the slight differences since it's stuff you saw and listened to every week or everyday in reruns growing up, but it's still an amazing collection.

Really Good Collection.......2004-07-11

I bought this in part because it had soundtracks to tv shows that are unavailable. My husband and I watch aome British programming. Many of the theme songs are for what seems like obscure British shows. That said; it has been enjoyable to hear music that I would normally never hear. Some music does sound tinny; some are very very rich, and some music is derived from actual preformances from the original artists. I think this is worth buying because is has a wonderful blend of music. The pieces are full soundtracks so they includes the parts of the theme song which are often edited out. I think the orchestra's who preformed the music did a great job. I have MonsterMania which redoes the soundtracks to the Godzilla movies. The interpretation is less heavy and stark than the preformance we associate with the original soundtrack; but I regard it as a new way to appreciate the music and all the componets which make the song unique.

Product Description

Pioneer, legend and forerunner are all terms that have been used to describe Dallas Holm, a long time veteran of Christian music. He has always loved the blues but struggled to find the right formula to create Christian blues. The struggle is over! This CD contains everything from good kickin' electric blues and horn sections to old accoustic "small room" blues. It delivers the goods musically but even more so lyrically.

Amazon.com's Best of 1998

James Brown had just recorded "Say It Loud--I'm Black and I'm Proud" when he visited Dallas in summer 1968. Mixing Soul Brother Number One's more traditional gospel- and jump-blues-influenced early hits with the funk he was still developing ("Cold Sweat," "Licking Stick--Licking Stick"), Say It Live and Loud captures that show in a time-capsule piece that's hardly just a historical document: it brings the full-force power of Brown, Maceo Parker, and the rest of the "James Brown Orchestra" front and center. --Rickey Wright

Amazon.com

James Brown had just recorded "Say It Loud--I'm Black and I'm Proud," the anthem that would become his last pop-chart top 10 entry for nearly two decades, when he visited Dallas on a summer 1968 leg of his then-ongoing tour. Mixing Soul Brother Number One's more traditional gospel- and jump-blues-influenced early hits with the funk he was still developing ("Cold Sweat," "Licking Stick--Licking Stick"), Say It Loud and Live captures that show in a time-capsule piece that's hardly just a historical document: it brings the full-force power of Brown, Maceo Parker, and the rest of the "James Brown Orchestra" front and center. And the memorabilia-laden CD booklet ("We know the Negro deejay won't play this record ... but every BLACK deejay will play this record!") is as essential as the music. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

Tighten Up is the Track .......2007-04-18

I won't go into too much detail - overall the band plays tight and the tracks are a mix of hits and lesser knowns. I mostly want to make a plug for "Tighten Up" - that track is an expansive and vibrant piece of music and the trumpet solo is the final touch of sweetness. As has been said about music, "when it hits you feel no pain" - that's for dang sure.

KANSAS CITY?.......2007-01-27

I'm looking for a version of Kansas City when James introduces the band.
It sounds like they hadn't been with him for awhile and he's welcoming them back. Does anyone know about this?

WILD, WILD STUFF!! PLAY IT LIVE AND LOUD!.......2007-01-06

The classic story that most of music enthusiasts should know, was how in 1969, James Brown ditched the enormous band he had, an hour before show time, to hire some 16 year old kids with the name Collins, to replace them. Those two kids would eventually become the backbone of the band that changed the face of funk music forever, and not to mention birth hip hop.
BUT- let us never forget the band that James Brown fired (minutes before they could quit) that night, with their lead, by the name of Maceo. They appear here, and show us, quite loud and powerfully- that James Brown had already established what was the face of Funk music. And while that band that James Brown replaced them with has gone down as legends in their own right- they had nothing on this beast.
This era of the Godfather, is without a doubt his wildest and craziest era overall. Ooozing with raw energy- this live performance showcases it nice and tight in one very solid package.
James Brown wrote the tunes, orchestrated the band, and shows he's got the moves and the pipes like nobody else.. but the band itself is capable of anything, it seems. Listen to the change-ups from one song to the next. Theres no breaks anywhere. Proffesional Jazz Musicians practice this type of stuff for over thirty years- these guys were in their twenties- hitting every nail on the head. They are trained and true, and no one falls out of step, yet they suprise you at every turn. Three numbers in the middle without James Brown... still smokin'. Maceo shows us all a little thing called The Tighten Up...
One action packed scorcher of a show, fans of any type of music will likely be blown away by this disc.
God Bless The Godfather of Soul.

Powerful, funky, historic, a bundle of frenetic energy~ The thing that knocks me out about this recording besides some of the best cuts of the band of that period live is the SHOW. You get to hear the roles of the band members in the presentation that was "The James Brown Show". This was not just a singer and a band that got up there and played and entertained for a couple of hours or so. This was a multifaceted entertainment machine! Tight, slick and having a great time being the best! Do not miss an instant of this recording, even the introductions and goodbyes.

Maceo is a revelation on this recording. If you think of him as a rhythmic alto player, wait till you hear the burning tenor solo on Suds. I mean, James Brown has left the stage and the energy level gets higher!!! How can that be? Not to mention a developing front man in his own right. He is not alone, the band is great, the names that you know inventing this music right there on stage. Peewee Ellis wrote great, flexible arrangements and band turns on a dime!! James cues, the band jumps!

By the end of the CD, tempos are flyin'!! Cold sweat is waaaay fast. Not the kind of thing you record for a 45 but exactly what is needed this particular evening with this crowd. The Soulbrother #1 reads the crowd perfectly and takes them further than they expected they could go. Ya just gotta keep it goin'. Keep winding em', keep em' dancin' up and send them higher,higher higher!!!! James dancing, women screaming, Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me while I boogaloo."

This is a show!!!

Cold Sweat.......2006-04-28

At a little under $1/minute, the Cold Sweat alone makes the 12 bucks you'll shell out for this one worth it. This might be the most insane version of this tune ever, more so than Live at the Apollo. The rhythm section is so rock-solid and funky, and you can practically visualise JB going through his dancing paces in front of a hysterical Dallas crowd. Add in all the other tunes, and its a serious bargain.

Masterful performances.......2007-05-24

The Rózsa violin concerto is one of my favorite pieces and this is, beyond all doubt, the best recorded performance of this far-too-neglected work. I do have one quibble with Maestro Heifitz's performance: he rushes the central theme of the middle movement a bit; I would love to have heard him "sing" it a bit more, at a slighltly slower tempo -- a bit more tenderness and longing -- because it is such a moving melody.

The other pieces on this disc are also wonderful, especially the Korngold. I respectefully disagree with the earlier reviewer about the Korngold being too cliché and corny, but as the old Romans said, "De gustibus non disputandum est."

If you are a Heifitz fan, or these three great masters of film music, you can't go wrong with this CD.

Transport to Heaven via Violin.......2007-01-03

Brilliant music played by a brilliant musician. I put it on the CD player in my office when I'm having a tough day and it makes all the annoyance fade away!

Sweetest sounding Heifetz - 1950s mono RCAs.......2005-08-18

Heifetz tended to play monochromatically in the 30s and faster in the 60s (ala Toscanini). In the early half of the 1950s, he performed at his peak (which is the creme de la creme of violinists). His tone had an harmonic richness and variety coupled with his incendiary technique. This is the best of Heifetz (the Korngold is tops, better than any other recording). Try his Beethoven Kreutzer with Moseiwitch for a similar experience (warning, the RCA release favors Heifetz and is more accurate playing, the 1949 Moseiwitch sponsored recording has an even balance and is really great despite some Heifetz miscues). This particular CD incarnation is truly awful. I think the Korngold is fake stereo and overall the sound is mediocre. Seek out a clean mono LP copy (I found that a mint red seal from the 70s is best-just like the master tape). If a better CD issue becomes apparent, I'll post it here.

Simply Great.......2003-09-29

This is simply the greatest recording of the Rosza ever made. It is full of intensity and expressive nuance. I don't care what others say, this tops the Telarc recording.

Rosza's concerto is one of his greatest works, and a much overlooked masterpiece.

The Korngold, on the other hand, has its moments, but is mired in worn-out cliches. More Korn than Gold. The performance is also disappointing...there are several places where the soloist and orchestra are not in tempo (particularly the last movement).

A recommended disc.

The Great Heifetz plays some (lesser known) greats.......2001-01-31

Perhaps no violinist (or even, perhaps, no musician) ever had the unique sense of musical phrasing that Heifetz had. His playing is both powerful and lyrical, virtuosic and subtle. I have only heard the Korngold concerto of these three in this version. (an old LP I found recently) The other two pieces I'm sure are worthwhile, having heard of them, but the Korngold is absolutely incredible. The second movement is sweet and light yet full of great pathos. The finale is dance-like and fiery. Some of the viruosic maneuvers (playing two different phrases with different rhythms while giving each its own line and dynamic change -- at the same time!) I have yet to hear the equal of. And the piece as a whole has something 20th century music too often lacks: melody. You cannot go wrong with this purchase.

Authentic? Maybe, But Unbalanced........2007-07-08

It seems, judging from the other reviews that people either love this set and it is the greatest thing that ever happened to the 4 piano concertos of Rachamninov, or, although they are a minority, people absolutely hate it. There is little doubt that these performances are extremely well played and recorded. The pianist, Stephen Hough makes claims of authenticity, that these pieces are being played as Rachmaninov himself conceived and played them. Is this true and does the way they are played work or do justice to them and their composer?
Concerning concertos nos.1&4 and the Paganini Rhapsody I would say the answer is definitely yes. These are beautiful, highly romantic, well reasoned performances neither too fast nor too slow with neither too much nor too little rubato. Adding to the authenticity is the inclusion of missing wind parts in the third movement of the fourth concerto which apparently are to be found only in one other recorded version, that of Rachmaninov himself with the Philadelphia Orchestra some 70 or so years ago. These three performances may be enough in themselves to make it worth purchasing the set.
The performances of nos. 2&3 on disc 2 are a somewhat different story.
It is generally true that Stephen Hough plays these two pieces more like Rachmaninov did than most modern performances, in that he plays certain segments faster. However he compromises the quality of both pieces somewhat by doing things that Rachmaninov did not do. Many performances of no.2 suffer from playing the opening theme of the first movement too slowly with too much rubato causing it drag a bit and fragment. In Rachmaninov's recordings he and the orchestra play it significantly faster than many modern recordings as does Hough and the Dallas Symphony. However Mr.Hough goes too far in that he plays the opening piano chords much too fast with little or no rubato. While Rachmaninov played it faster than many recordings he is noticeably slower than Hough, especially at first, speeding up a little with slight touches of rubato, causing a more satisfying building of the drama. However The rest of the first movement in Hough's performance is fine and the other two movements are right on the money.
A composer can be incorrect about one of his own pieces concerning how it should best be performed. It is possible that Rachmaninov performed his third piano concerto too fast. The young Vladimir Horowitz whose performance the composer preferred almost certainly did. A number of more modern recordings can be too slow and stately, such as that by Vladimir Ashkenazy with Andre Previn in the seventies which is very beautiful. It seems an extremely difficult task to find a recording that has the right balance between the two. Hough is definitely on the fast side but not unreasonable until the close of the final which he machine guns through without missing a note and is topped off by the closing orchestral chords so fast and even that you feel emotionally, not ecstatic, but almost as though you've been shot. Again Rachmaninov and the Philadelphia are ever so slightly slower with rhythmic variation adding much to the drama working listeners to emotional frenzy. Funny what a little rubato can do.

painful.......2007-04-10

I heard the Paganini Rhapsody from this album, and frankly, I was NOT impressed. From what I heard of Hough's and Litton's cooperative style in the Rhapsody, I can't imagine that the concertos would be much better, and I strongly advocate not buying this. To his credit, he hit most of the notes. It was mainly the interpretation, the misguided rubato etc. that put me off, but it put me far enough off that I would never recommend this album. Having said that, I do own Earl Wild's set, with Previn conducting, so I expect a lot when I hear these amazing works, among my all-time favorites for piano and orchestra. Regardless: it just wasn't that good, sorry.

Good new recording, with a few remarks.......2007-01-19

Stephen Hough has taken the liberty of interpreting the Rachmaninov piano concertos quite freely, especially concerning the tempi. I'm sure he has listened to all previous recordings (including Rachmaninov's own) before deciding on these interpretations, but they *have* raised some eyebrows, as several reviewers remarked earlier.
Although the recording quality itself is really good (especially for a live recording), the mastering is quite soft, which makes this CD sound softer than most other classical CD's. Pity!
Just details, though. Stephen Hough's masterful piano technique ensures a sublime experience of some of the finest piano concertos ever written.

An absolute stunner.......2006-07-27

I've spent years working on these pieces as an amateur. In fact, collecting recordings of these concertos has been one of my greatest enthusiasms. Having heard practically all the commercially available recordings (and some) out there, I can only bow down to Stephen Hough for this monumental achievement.

It's not just the virtuosic bravura and utter refinement of the pianism, but what sets Hough apart from everybody else is his sense of timing and complete avoidance vulgar Soviet-style emoting. Hough's sense of tempo rubato, lingering in the beginning of the phrase before rushing towards the climax, is a lost art that was common practiced by the greatest artists from the beginning of the 20th century (such as Rachmaninoff himself, Tauber, Cortot, Heifetz, Kreisler...).

I urge people to follow these performances with a score in hand. It is an objective lesson in how maximum expressive freedom (often shockingly revelatory) can be achieved by a thorough understanding of a composer's rhetoric and notations.

GETTING A BIT THICK IN HERE.......2006-06-16

Hm, so many crazy-positive reviews. Campaign?

The negative reviews, unfortunately, have it right. As a performer of Rachmaninoff, Hough is the best Saint-Saens interpreter there is.

Hough makes these concerti sound like watered-down Gershwin. That's all. Some people respond to this: some people respond to the cheap and flashy. Others do not. Still others resent the transformation of diamonds into rhinestones.

The cover with a cigarette-biting Rach is appropriate. When listening to these discs, one can almost smell a cheap cigar, and maybe see a ring with a glass topaz being waved around.

And yes, Hough's claims of "authenticity" are a laugh. Just put on Rach's old recordings and hear the difference. Astonishing. Not that everyone should (or could) play like Rach. But then, not everyone claims they do, now do they?

Also laughable, in my opinion, are comments about "heart-wrenching" soul in these performances. What soul? Maybe if you've never heard these pieces before, they sound emotional here. But it seems to me the big distinction of these interpretations is that they completely dispense with the "soul and emotion" side of this music. (There is some superficial color in the Fourth Concerto, though, which I guess passes for soulfulness.)

Save your coins.
