Finally got it.......2006-03-22
Classic Americana.......2002-06-14
More to this singer than "American Pie.".......2002-01-20
The concept--exploring the stories of the down-and-outers of the road--could've been overly-romantic in the hands of someone else, but McLean is careful to show the dark side. "Legend of Andrew McCrew" is the best example, a macabre and apparently true story of a traveling carnival's exhibition of the mummified corpse of an anonymous hobo found dead and unclaimed by railroad tracks. McLean's retelling of this is sardonic without being too heavy-handed and the song and performance work. The title song is in the same vein as songs like "Hobo's Prayer" and "Hobo's Lullaby," and covers of George Harrison's "Sunshine Life For Me (Sail Away, Raymond)" and a terrific acapella version of "Crying In The Chapel" (featuring the Persuasions on backup!) are excellent and serve this overview well.
The songs that don't fall into this concept are a mixed bag; McLean is capable of more than a little schmaltz and in a couple of songs it's a little too much, but "Wonderful Baby" is a great Thirties-style crooning tune sung for a newborn that swings and soothes.(I understand that Fred Astaire later covered this--I can believe it!) Overall, this album shows Don McLean as a troubador in fine form, which is what it ought to be all about.
A nice surprise.......2001-07-08
Being an ICU nurse the tale of Andrew McCrew especially sticks my heart and my rather twisted sense of humor.
Thanks for more information on the album...will definately have to try to pick up a CD. Charlie Lake Elsinore
Don McClean the storyteller does what he does best........1999-03-11
A very special tune is "Wonderful Baby". A good tune, and one that should have become a standard.
All-in-all, one of Don's better works, and a must for a serious collector.

Includes Rare Early Recordings by Tab Benoit & Joe Bonamassa.......2007-05-18
Must own- nearly a 5.......2007-01-25
The version of Nice and Warm Tab Benoit laid down for this is better than the original release, and as close to live as you'll get, and Clarence Gatemouth Brown will raise the hair on the back of your neck with The Drifter.
Interspersed between some serious blues is some more folksy stuff and some nice piano work from Dr. John, but the whole album works very well as a whole for a collaboration. In time, you'll find that the powerful Brother Can You Spare a Dime is as much a favorite as the more raucus, gritty work by Benoit and Gatemouth. The samples selected to listen to don't really convey how good this album is.
As I type this there are used copies for $2.99- buy one already.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo proved itself pliable enough when the a capella group was heavily featured on Paul Simon's Graceland. Other crossover collaborations have followed, but few work as seamlessly as this collection, which features old LBM songs, Zulu traditionals and European classical material done in collaboration with the English Chamber Orchestra. The rich vocal sound literally fuses with the classical musicians in much the same way as a classical choral group does. To its credit, the orchestra (and arranger Isak Roux) loosens up to fit the more oral/aural traditions of the singers--the music is less precise and reliant on virtuosity. The orchestra provides a particularly sympathetic counterpoint on the traditional "Awu Wemadoda" and is downright playful sounding on "Dona Nobis Pacem." Sounding as elegant and reverent, Ladysmith more than meets the orchestra halfway on the famous Bach choral piece "Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring." Making borders and boundaries irrelevant, this is a work of startling beauty that couldn't be improved upon. --Tad Hendrickson

Simply Amazing!.......2007-02-12
One world.......2007-01-12
Beautiful.......2005-04-26
Breathtaking! .......2005-02-11
"No Boundaries" is pretty amazing stuff, let me tell you. With the help of the English Chamber Orchestra directed by Ralph Gothoni, the two groups meet together on each other's common ground. Ladysmith sings traditional "Amazing Grace", Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" Schubert's "Sanctus." Then the orchestra gets into the African groove for music from South Africa.
Altogether a beautifully arranged, sung, and orchestrated work. If you are new to Ladysmith, this is a good CD to start. If you're an old fan, you'll definitely want "No Boundaries" to complete your collection.

Historically significant choral works, wonderfully performed.......2004-05-31
DANCE LIKE THE WIND presents works by eight African American composers from various generations, though they all emerged after the neo-classical period of non-discrimination. You'll hear loyalty to classic idioms like the spirituals and blues, but also elements of more recent genres like R&B, gospel and rap. Enclosed are excellent liner notes and biographical information.
The other three CDs are available as single titles, or in the boxed set entitled THE WITNESS COLLECTION which includes:
WHAT A MIGHTY GOD: Spirituals and Gospels for Chorus
GOT THE SAINT LOUIS BLUES: Classical Music in the Jazz Age
SKYWARD MY PEOPLE ROSE: Music of William Grant Still
DANCE LIKE THE WIND

Spellbinding male vocal chorus!.......2002-07-27
This CD is getting a LOT of New York club play and with good reason. It appeals to both fans of synth-pop and goth rock without veering towards either side too heavily.
Dare I say that this Cd is like a drug? Once you turn it on, you never want it to end. One can easily get mentally lost into the background choruses, which will spin your mind into a swirling dervish style of ecstasy. By the time you have played the CD for the third time in succession, which you will once you hear it in its entirety, you will be singing along to every song.
Rather than belabor the issue with a song-by-song detail, just trust that every track on this CD is a mesmerizing masterpiece that you just MUST own. I know my next quest is to locate any other music by this band because I simply will not want go without any of their work. So in three words: BUY THIS NOW!

Brazilian-born percussionist Airto Moreira is a heavy hitter whose résumé includes Miles Davis's legendary Bitches Brew in 1970, two Return to Forever LPs with Chick Corea, and Mickey Hart's Planet Drum. But if you think that means Airto's an old fart, guess again. Homeless is as radical a world-music CD as you're ever likely to find. The rarified vocals on "700 Years" and a few other cuts emphasize atmosphere over melody, meaning you won't be whistling these songs on your morning commute. But the hard-edged polyrhythms and mile-deep percussive textures will definitely rev your engine. Drum machines, samples, space synths, and hip-hop beats contributed by the Factor lend the disc a techno sensibility. But the highest voltage rhythms come from traditional instruments including bells, cymbals, mouth bow, timbales, drum kits, and an arsenal of hand drums wielded by Airto, Changuito, Pablo Silva, Meia Noite, and Amen Santos. The results combine free-floating Afro-Latin music with indigenous American touches, positing unity of spirit as an exhilarating antidote to the undercurrent of modern angst. --Bob TarteCustomer Reviews:

Spirituals Masterpiece.......2007-01-22
A winner from start to finish.......2000-11-22
Paulsson is an instrumentalist on this horn the likes of which I don't believe I've ever heard. I consider myself a "student" of Paulsson's instrument, thanks to Winter, and am therefore familiar with other European soprano saxophonists such as Jan Garbarek and John Harle. But I was totally unprepared for Paulsson's technique, which is, in a word, staggering. While I continue to prefer Paul Winter's way with phrasing and improvisation, and, most particularly, embrochure and tone quality, I cheerfully concede that Anders Paulsson may well be the most proficient technician of this often-misplayed instrument. (Think "Kenny G" to get my point.) Pride of place in these three duets clearly goes to Toccata in D, Paulsson's Op. 20, a tour de force for him and Andrew Canning on organ.
But the album title is about singing, and singing of some well-known and not-so-well-known spirituals is the main focus of the album. And the singing is simply drop-dead gorgeous, by the St. Jacob's Chamber Choir of Stockholm. Led for more than fifteen years by Gary Graden, another American ex-patriot, their voices, and their clear English diction, might well have come from a gospel choir in these United States. The opening track, Deep River, is worth the cost of the album by itself.
Approximately in the middle of the album is a cantata in seven parts entitled Feet of Jesus, based on texts by Langston Hughes, the great African-American "blues poet" of the Harlem Renaissance. Written by Judith Cloud, a composer from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, this cantata is the centerpiece and the true highlight of the album, notwithstanding all the good points already mentioned about both the spirituals and Paulsson's own compositions and duets. Very moving; beautifully done.
In preparing this review, I of course had the opportunity to read Professor Cloud's comments about her composition and its inspiration, written elsewhere on this album page. It's a small world indeed when one reads that a large part of her inspiration came from a performance by Anders Paulsson that she had earlier heard in the marvelous acoustic space of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York, where Paul Winter is the principal artist in residence.
I thank my American friend living in Sweden for bringing this terrific album to my attention. Otherwise, I might well have missed it completely. Here's hoping that my thoughts on it will work the same wonders on you that the music has on me.
