Huge Fan & HUGELY Dissappointed!!!!
The Bellamys have always been one of my favorite C&W groups - since my 20's roughnecking in Wyoming & Okla. So when I was putting together a C&W CD collection this was one of the first I got.Now I find that like a few other stinkers in my collection [John Anderson, Bill Anderson, Ed Bruce, T.G. Sheppard, ETC.] This is a FREAKING RERECORD!!!What I want to know is why Howard & David would do this to their fans????Is it because they don't have enough $$$?To wrest control away from the greedy record companies?To give their diehard fans a treat?Because no other BB collections are out there? Because other country stars have done it?Whatever the reason, it's just not good enough. Sure the songs sound OK. But don't the hardworking people of this country deserve to know what they're getting?If The 25 Year Collection [Vol. 1 & Vol. 2] is meant to be a special checking in thing, why not mark the dates clearly to make sure that fans know what they're getting? [Sure there is a picture of middle aged brothers, but lots of CDs have up-to-date photos. Leading a casual shopper to think maybe they oversaw the selection]Fact is, the whole business of rerecords is sleazy & underhanded. Not at all the wonderful values that lie at the heart of BB songs.And it makes me never want to buy another C&W CD again!Shame on you guys. You should donate every cent of this travesty to charity!

Huge fan and a little disappointed with this one...
Why fix it if it ain't broken?These classics have been re-recorded and the end result is not nearly as good as the original cuts.Too heavy on the keyboards/instrumentals and weak studio mixing wrecked "Let your Love Flow" on this compilation- real bummer.The vocals on the live tracks overpower the instruments- usually it's the other way around with live recordings.If you're ok with that, then this compilation will be a "fair" addition to your collection.

First of two volumes covering all their hits - re-recorded
Despite being re-recordings, these are all extremely well done and no attempt has been made to do anything dramatically different with them. A few (not many) are live cuts, but the live effects are kept to a minimum.

Editorial Review

It's taken them three albums to shake their excessive campiness, self-conscious oldies re-creations, and uneven originals, but most of this live collection reflects a more mature, confident, and distinctive BR5-49. Along with a beefier rhythm section behind Gary Bennett and Chuck Mead's vocals, Don Herron's inspired choice to use his non-pedal steel as sort of a supercharged, slashing slide guitar alters the texture of their sound for the better. The witty "Better Than This" and "Waitin' for the Axe" reflect vastly improved in-house material, and that improvement extends to oldies as well. Compare the bonus track, a watery studio re-creation of the Farmer Boys' "You're a Hum-dinger," with their muscular live renditions of Gram Parsons's "Big Mouth Blues," Don Gibson's "Sweet, Sweet Girl," and Dave Dudley's trucker anthem "Six Days on the Road." Misfires include an incongruous revival of Charlie Daniels's incredibly dated 1973 hippie vs. redneck novelty "Uneasy Rider" and Bob Wills's "Brain Cloudy Blues," a well-chosen song undermined by a stiff, clumsy arrangement. Nonetheless, the fact that they've at last found their voice bodes well for the future. Read more

Live BR5-49 catches the original line-up at their peak
Let me go on record and flat-out state that I really like BR5-49.I liked the original line-up and I like the current version as well.This CD combines some of the well-known BR5-49 material (Even If It's Wrong) with some very nice suprises including Six Days on the Road, the 18-wheeler truckin' song of all-time. On Waitin' for the Axe, Chuck and Gary combine for some great harmony work - sounds like the Everly Brothers. The songs that really draws me on this record are Pourin' Pain and Big Mouth Blues with the repeated references to "New York City's got a lot to do with it".I've played this CD a bunch of time, especially on road trips when I'm driving by myself and need something lively to sing-along to.This recording features Donnie Herron, the secret weapon of the band, as he let's it rip on lap steel, fiddle and mandolin.I happened to see the band just after they released this CD and it was a memorable performance.I think that this CD highlights the original band line-up very nicely.This band always struck me as one of being very talented and a bit off the radar screen of many music fans.It's really too bad because BR5-49 could (and can) dish it with the best of 'em.This is a good country CD and very enjoyable.

BR5-49 sounds formulaic here
Several listens later, I'm no closer to liking "Coast to Coast." The fresh, lively energy BR5-49 captured on their other excellent live outing, "Live from Robert's," sounds formulaic here, as though the band is trying to live up to an image or type.
Even if it's wrong
When plugging into Nashville's country music formula, releasing your second live album as your 4th overall release could be called wrong.Most would call it "stupid" or "just plain dumb".BR5-49 simply doesn't care, and after listening to Coast to Coast, you know why.Just as their live shows typically do, they start easy and work up to frenzied fever pitch, so does Coast to Coast.This record showcases of some of their better originals and favorite covers.Read more

having a blast with Charlie and the gang
Hard driving, rockin' country music is what you get from start to finish in this excellent live album, with recordings culled from several concerts (in Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia) in 2000. Charlie and the band have so much energy and passion for their music, and for the message of freedom and patriotism that is in many of their songs, that their honesty and zeal alone is appealing; the musicianship is superb, and really shines in the instrumentals, "Sidewinder", and "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed", and Charlie gets to show his virtuosity with the fiddle in "The Devil Went Down to Georgia", which is a fantastic track, and a great finish for the CD.
What more can you ask for?
How can you go wrong with a band like the CDB? This is a great live album and it covers a lot of ground. Seeing the band live is a great experience, and they've caught that excitement in these sixteen songs. It's the next best thing.

Great CD!!!!!
(...) I was impressed with Mr. Daniels introduction to Simple Man.He talks about catching "flack" for writing the song. Before the song starts, he says, "I Don't Care."Way to go CharlieRead more

Kaleidoscope of multi-hued sound that enchants
Playing Time - 73:50 -- Recorded live at Spivey Hall at Clayton College & State University in Morrow, Georgia, "Crossing Bridges" features violinist Mark O'Connor's Appalachia Waltz Trio, which also features violist Carol Cook and cellist Natalie Haas. The CD's booklet provides this quote from O'Connor - "I always think that music should elevate the spirit, stimulate the intellect and strengthen the heart." If those criteria define his goal, then the consummate pro and his two sidekicks easily succeed. This album of largely original material offers much in the realms of vitality, reasoning and emotion.
From strength to strength
If you know Mark O'Connor's work, it's probably enough to say that this is up to his usual standard of musicianship.The other striking thing about him is his knack for finding superb collaborators, whether they be giants who inspired him (as in his CD "Heroes") or newer arrivals on the scene, like the young cellist Natalie Haas.She takes on (for instance) Appalachia Waltz, a work which Yo-Yo Ma had all but canonized, and comes through with an inspired performance.I recently heard her play with Scottish fiddler Alasdair Fraser, and it's clear to me that she has a brilliant future ahead of her.As for Carol Cook, this is the first performance of hers I've heard, but it won't be the last.She disproves all the bad press violists get.By the way, this CD does include Amazing Grace, contrary to what a previous reviewer wrote.But by some glitch it's just added on as part of the tenth and last track and is not acknowledged either on the list of tracks or in the notes (which are otherwise very thorough).

Excellent music from a trio of truly gifted musicians
I was fortunate enough to catch a performance of this trio in Columbus, GA this past February, and ever since that day I have waited for this CD to come out.Mark O'Connor is a violin/fiddle virtuoso, Carol Cook can coax mezmerizing sounds out of a viola, and the amazing Natalie Haas can make you hear cello in a whole different light.Only two things keep this from being a five-star recording.First, you can never capture the beauty of a live performance on a CD.Second, they should have included the chilling rendition of 'Amazing Grace' that they do in concert. (NOTE:As highlighted by a later reviewer, this track is indeed included as a 'hidden' track at the end.My comments on the piece still stand).At the show I attended that was one piece through which the audience sat transfixed.When the last notes faded, there were several moments of stunned silence, followed by a collective 'WOW' from all assembled there.Still, it's a great listen...give it a try and you won't be sorry. ...

Disappointing
I have always loved B. J. Thomas' rendition of Mighty Clouds of Joy, but this Live album and its jazzy version of traditional songs was a huge disappointment.So much so that I returned the CD after hearing most of it.Having heard the previous versions of the same songs by B. J., I can say that this CD and its renditions have not aged well. ... Read more

GREAT LIVE ALBUM
This CD is a great one to start your Pat Green or just Texas Country music collection, because Pat is so much better live than in a studio (although he is still pretty awesome). The only thing that I don't like is that I heard the faster version of "Here We Go" on Live at Billy Bob's and I can't adjust to the slower version, so I suggest getting this before Billy Bob's. GO PAT

My Favorite Pat Green CD
I'm not particularly fond of live albums, but this one is nice. It has most of his best stuff, and you can feel the excitement of the music. You wish you were sitting in Gruene Hall with Shiner in your hand!

Terrific Live Album of Texas Music
Pat Green is one of those artists that is best heard live, and this live set from a few years back doesn't disappoint. Chock full of old favorites and standbys, Here We Go is my favorite collection of Pat's terrific brand of Texas music. Highlights are a rousing rendition of "George's Bar", a heartfelt "Songs About Texas", and the coup de grace is the title track to close the set. The only letdown, personally, is "Nightmare", an uneven addition to an otherwise solid collection of songs. This CD is a perfect introduction to Pat Green and to the kind of music that packs them in all around the Lone Star state. Highly recommended! ... Read more

Angel on the Mesa
Shawn Camp has written #1 tunes for Garth Brooks (Two Pina Coladas) & Brooks & Dunn (How Long Gone).On his latest set on John Prine's Oh Boy Records, his bluegrass is fresh and the band sparkles.A particular favorite is "Magnolia Wind" that sounds like an excellent companion piece to Gram Parsons' "Hickory Wind.""The Guilt Was Gone" is a strong country toe tapper about a man giving into desire that was co-written with Guy Clark with Stuart Duncan's fiddle sparkling like a firecracker on the 4th of July."Travelin' Teardrop Blues" co-written with Jim Lauderdale boasts some fine banjo picking by Dave Talbot on an excellent song, "Angel wakes up on the mesa, In the mirror makes her face up with the paint of some red warrior in her eyes; In the dark behind the curtain on a bed of lust I loved her; While she slept, I left a tear to say goodbye."I've got to admit that being the squeamish type, "Soldiers Joy 1864" about a guy losing his leg leaves me a bit lightheaded."Redbird" is a delightful bluegrass track by Camp & Lauderdale.The set concludes with the hoe-down "My Love Will Not Change," "The seasons come & the seasons go & the reasons you left, I guess I'll never know; There will be others, yes, I know it's true, but they won't do you like I did for you.""Live At the Station Inn" is a great set with excellent acoustics from this live performance.Enjoy!

extraordinary singer, solid picker, and creative songwriter
Time - 46:22 -- Shawn Camp is an extraordinary singer, solid picker, and creative songwriter whose guitar and vocals are on the leading edge of what some might consider an urban/folk dimension of current bluegrass. About forty years earlier, back in the mid-60s, it was guys like Peter Rowan, Lamar Grier, Richard Greene and Gene Lowinger who showed another side of bluegrass. Some called them citybillies. While Shawn Camp is from Arkansas, he's following in the footsteps of others who have infused bluegrass with folk, new acoustic, blues, honky tonk or even roots rock inspirations. Respect for Shawn and his songs have led to covers of them by Garth Brooks, Brooks & Dunn, George Strait, Kenny Chesney, Patty Loveless, Randy Travis, and many others.

Editorial Review

This live recording presents retro-country singer-songwriter Dale Watson in his ideal element: a rowdy little honky-tonk, albeit one in England rather than Texas. Watson performs his fine originals (such as the tender "You Are My Friend") as well as classic country covers by Merle Haggard, Webb Pierce, Wynn Stewart, Ray Price, and Johnny Cash, in a boozy croon. Meanwhile, his Lonestars lay down a relaxed groove that cranks the twang. Predictably, nearly a quarter of the night's set list is devoted to praising country music's past ("Legends") or, more often, pummeling its present ("Country My Ass," "Nashville Rash," "Real Country Song"). Some listeners may find this a little off-putting, but the crowd at London's Borderline roars and sings its approval--the album was originally titled Read more

(real) country fan
this is my favorite cd of dales.this is not for tim mcgraw or kenny chessney fans.this is too country for those people.all of dales cds are great.my second favorite is "i hate these songs".i hope this review can help more people discover how awsome dale is.
Solid, kickass country music!
I once had the good fortune to see Dale Watson play a show in Glasgow, Scotland, and the intensity and devotion of that UK crowd is ably reflected in this concert album, where the London fans hoot, holler and sing along to a brace of oldies and a slew of new originals.This is Watson in fine form, stripped down and honkytonk as all hell.He takes advantage of the concert album tradition to get a little dirty and cuss some, but mostly this is about Dale and his high-test ... band, who don't mess around for even a note or two.Authenticity is Watson's watchword: he opens the set up with his hick music anthem, "A Real Country Song," reprises his version of the Jimmie Rodgers classic "In The Jailhouse Now" (which was also a highlight of a recent Webb Pierce tribute album), and thumbs his nose at Nashville with "Country My Ass..."He might not be subtle, but he sure is good.You can't hear solid country playing like this anywhere else but on a Dale Watson album.Highly recommended!

"Explicitly Hardcore Country Music."
That's how Dale describes his own music.He further goes on to state, "The music in this show contains lyrics about honky tonks, truck driving men, drink', cheatin', and other topics considered to be too provocative for today's candy-... Country Music."He's right.This is REAL country music.This is the way country music is supposed to sound.Dale Watson isn't retro, he's not a throwback -- he's simply carrying on the fiery torch of pure country music as it was carried by Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Merle Haggard.Dale is, of course, far too country for "country" radio; his first single release from this album, "Country My @$$," has been unilaterally turned down by them (wonder why?).But Dale is more than just a banner for the survival of real country music -- Dale is a powerhouse of talent, a thundering voice, a phenominal writer, and a heck of a great guitar player.His small frame packs country music skill so gigantic it absolutely dwarfs the "big names" doing their fireworks at arena shows, selling their teenybopper bubblegum with their pecks and abs.Dale doesn't need fireworks -- he entertains with TALENT.This album is a marvelous recording of two live nights in London (where, sadly, he's FAR more popular than he is here in the States).If you love real country music, buy this.You'll order all the rest of his albums before the final track finishes spinning. ...

The best live Haggard you'll find.
This is a great live album, albeit a short one, and the renditions of "Running Kind/Lonesome Fugitive," "Back to the Barrooms," and "Sing Me Back Home" are the best you'll find anywhere. This is real deal country, not the garbage the CMA promotes today, and the cd is a joy to listen to. Recorded when Haggard was at the top of his game, this is one of his rowdiest and more energetic collections of songs. Highly recommended for those new to Haggard. Grab it before it's out of circulation. ... Read more

Awesome Paycheck
This live cd features some of Johnny's hits and a couple of George Jones songs. The live versions are quite different from the studio cuts, but they are very tasteful. His vocal projection is right on key. "FOR A MINUTE THERE", is speeded up making it a good dance number. One that stands out for me is "IN MEMORY OF A MEMORY". It also features the live version of one of my favorites "OLD VIOLIN". All the songs are done very well including "HEART DON'T NEED EYES TO SEE", which is performed by Johnny's band. Being a lead guitarist myself, I especially like the music on every one of these songs this cd has. This is real good honky tonk hardcore OUTLAW country music. A must have for any Paycheck fan. You won't regret it.Guitar Bob

Honkytonk Music!
This is a great album.I am not a "Johnny Paycheck" fan per se...but this album has kind of turned me into one.This is just good ol country music, done very well.

Homesick by JJW over GPN...I don't think so!
The California reviewer who rates Jerry Jeff's London Homesick Blues over GPN's version should take the wad of wax out of his ear. Jerry Jeff is great, but for musicality and truly great listening, you either go with GPN or you GET THE HELL OUT OF THE ROOM!!!!

Quintessential Gary P.
This recording defines the broad spectrum of Gary P. Nunn's ability as a front man (chalk up much of JJW's early success to Gary P. and the Lost Gonzos), not to mention his ability to craft songs that put you right smack dab in an inner tube on the Guadalupe River. The Lone Star anthem "London Homesick Blues" notwithstanding, these live renditions of some GPN classics such as "The Nights Never Get Lonely," "What I like about Texas," and "Austin Pickers" are probably the best live versions out there. In addition, the recording contains a HOT rendition of the JJW/LGB standard, "Public Domain." All in all, a classic and timeless recording and a rare release from the vaults of Austin City Limits and KLRU. A vinyl collectible, but a CD treasure.

Gary P. Nunn - TEXAN
How could someone from California review a Texas Country album? That person has probably never been to Texas and wouldn't know what great music is if it hit them in their bean sprout eating head. Gary P. Nunn is known for great music. All you California people should stick to Toby keith, he's more your speed. Get this CD, you will not be sorry, that is unless you're a Rascal Flatts or N'Sync fan. ... Read more

Recorded stage show
Fun. Several artists in a stage show with the San Antonio symphony. Nice music with strings in the background.

EVERY SONG ON THIS ONE IS MY FAVORITE
What a wonderful combination of classic western talent and the unique addition of the San Antonio Symphony. My love of western music was truly satisfied with this recording- I keep it in my car for those long drives when I want to transport my spirit westward and back in time.

Greatcdforthecarortruck
Five stars for MMM and the other artists on this fine cd.But zero for the people responsible for recording it. When I first got it I tried listening twice, then just tossed the thing aside. I couldn't hear parts of it without sitting right in front of the speakers. Then one day when selecting a few cds to take along in the car I picked this one to try again. In the car I had no problem hearing any of it! If you want a great cd to drive-along, sing-along with this is it. ... Read more

Red Knuckles Rock!
Big fan of Hot Rize and Tim O'Brien.Red Knuckles and the Trailblzers give us a different and thoroughly entertaining and convincing alternative side to the Hot Rize boys.Rockabilly may, in fact, be their true calling.

Campy, yet great
If you are a fan of the history of music, like me -- you do not want to be without this album.The covers of some standards bring new life to the music.It is clear by the nature and by the history of this group that they are campy, yet the more you listen to it the more it appears as an actual art.An example of the leangth to which they go to infuse the music with the maximum ammount of fun is that they make up a totally fake band for the old country and western sound.I have seen them live and know that they take turns leaving stage and becoming the alter-ego.Hot Rize/ Trailblazers is a lovely experiance and should be a part of every collection.

Live album with overdubs
This is a live CD that has been overdubbed in parts due to "technical difficulties".It gives the CD a strange sound, like someone playing along to their favorite songs.
Not one of Earle's best
There is a generous amount of music--over 74 minutes which is a lot for the typical Steve Earle CD but you can find better renditions of these songs on his other CDs.Get Guitar Town and Copperhead Road if you want to hear most of these songs done in a studio.Also, I had eagerly anticipated hearing Earle's version of Dead Flowers but it isn't nearly as good as the original by The Stones.

Raw and ragged
This is a loose collection of live Earle music circa 1991. The band is just going through the motions and Earle's voice is at its most ragged, but it still remains an interesting time capsule of where Earle's career was at the time and some of the songs really thrive in the live setting. A good summation of Earle's earlier work and glimpse of an artist close to the edge of self destruction. Probably not the best example of his ability but an intriguing look at an artist whose life has had more than a few ups and downs. ... Read more

Johnny Cash's classic live album: songs of darkness and rage
Johnny Cash was a legendary figure of American music who often seemed the embodiment of an prophet from the Old Testament (and not one of the happier ones at that).With his passing there is a natural impulse to want to listen to the man and his music, but we really should resist the impulse to take the easy way out and listen to one of the greatest hits collections of The Man in Black (after all, the first Johnny Cash hits album came out forty years ago).Instead you track done one of the superb albums that he put out during his music career.From that perspective "At Folsom Prison" and "At San Quentin" are the two quintessential Johnny Cash albums from what ended up being the "early" part of one of the great careers in American music.Both albums were recorded live in front of eager audiences of prison inmates in the late 1960s and provide ample proof of why Cash was one of the most imposing and influential figures in country music."At San Quentin" represents Cash at his wildest, but I think "At Folsom Prison" offers up the better songs and stronger performances.Read more

Still Laughing after 5 days, THANKS TO JUNE!
June Carter fans, get ready to buckle your seatbelts and blast off into a 1960 show of Louisiana Hayride, starring the Beautiful JUNE CARTER!!!!!!!!! I put this CD in the first day I bought it. I was up laughing until 2 AM! June has once again done an outstanding job.
June was a jem
I just bought this cd in Nashville and I haven't stopped listening to it since. Listening to June tell her "famous poems" is a real treat. The songs are good and June is funny. Each time she is introduced the audience goes crazy for her. After I listened to this cd, I can see why. This is a good item for long time fans or new fans (thanks to Walk the Line.) This was money well spent.

Rare spin of Carter's early stage work
This is a truly fascinating look at June Carter's early-60s stage act, including both familiar songs and comedy routines that many listeners have probably never heard. In addition A.P. Carter songbook standards, "Bury Me Under the Weeping Willow" and "Wildwood Flower," Carter shows off her original corn-pone humor and quick wit.Read more

Enjoyable
I liked this album myself.My favorite tracks being Gillian Welch's In Tall Buildings and Tim O'Brien;s More Love.This really isn't a John Hartford album, but rather a tribute to himThere are a few great numbers by him however that are wonderful and amusing in a dark humor sort of way.

A heartfelt tribute...............but a mediocre album
I've loved John Hartford's music for years, and was very happy that a tribute had taken place and was preserved for posterity.But I found the disc that resulted disappointing. The breadth and depth of Hartford's music calls for a towering tribute.Unfortunately, this isn't it. Goodbye John....
I'm a huge fan of John Hartford's and have been since I saw him live in Austin many, many years ago. Those who gathered together to play John's music were better musicians than I, but not necessarily bigger fans! In any event, this is not the album to get as an introduction to John -- Aereo-Plain, Live on Mountain Stage or Good Old Boys are far better for that.Read more
