Stay Awake: Various Interpretations of Music from Vintage Disney Films
Betty Carter
A&M, 1990
Disney a wee bit on acid.
What an eclectic grouping of artists that came together to make this work. The absolute best Disney tribute CD that adults will probably enjoy more than the children. Sinead deliberatly sings an entire song off key until the last note and it's perfect. There are ...

Various Artists
Swing Time Records, 2000
wonderful collection of 20s & 30s dance music
This is a really top-notch collection of 20s & 30s dance music by various bands, mostly underservedly forgotten. A very entertaining CD that gives a good idea of the fun and energy of 20s & 30s dance music. You won't be able to stand still.

The Archie Show: The Complete Series

Classic Media, 2007
Archie Music Videos Make 5 stars
I've actually have had this dvd set since the first week it was available. It was exactly what I had expected. The 12 minute shorts were silly and typical for saturday morning shows at that time. I really enjoyed the jukebox menu (except that you could not play all) ...

20th Century Masters: The Best of the Andrews Sisters (Millennium Collection)
The Andrews Sisters
Mca, 2000
Faultless selection and harmonies..
Honeyed harmonies and sympathetic orchestration.
'Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positive' with Bing Crosby is my all time favorite. Dennis Potter used it in his 80s British television serial 'The Singing Detective' with so much humor.

Hank Williams - 40 Greatest Hits
Hank Williams
Polygram UK, 1990
Need a defintion for the word "tragedy?"
Hank Sr. ( as great as it gets in American music ) dies at age 29 in 1953. Hank Jr. continues to annoy us with musical litter to this day......Although I have heard very good things about Hank Williams III....
Here's another question; why don't we ever hear tragic ...

The Definitive Collection
Bing Crosby
Geffen Records, 2006
Excellent selection !
This is an excellent Bing Crosby's music selection for the first listening. After buying this one I've became a great fan of him. Now I'm getting his films and reading his life. If it is your first CD from Crosby, get this one and you will like it very much.

Back to Black
Amy Winehouse
Republic, 2007
I love it
I absolutely adore this album. I am not too crazy about Amy Winehouse herself and her real-life rehab experiences but this album is just amazing. All the songs are so heart felt, so real, so full of emotion. I prefer some of the less popular songs to the ones that had ...

Raphael Saadiq
Umvd Labels, 2002
Awesome Cd.... extremely thought provoking
I love this CD... Its almost hard to put into words how excellent of an artist Raphael Saadiq is. Each song as a unique flow and style, there's not a single song that doesn't have immense artist value. My favorite song on the cd is "Blind Man". The song is so, so ...

American Psycho
Bret Easton Ellis
Vintage, 1991
This Is NOT An Exit
'American Psycho' is a satire of the 1980's (among other subjects) centered around narrator Patrick Bateman who is the yuppie-to-end-all-yuppies. Though the humor is as dark as possible, it's true to Ellis and true to the story. I cannot find any failure whatsoever ...

He didn't grow up in Olathe Kansas.
That's why he always says "KC, MO", as in Kansas City Missouri, as in, NOT OLATHE KANSAS.
Good one though joe. He grew up on 57th, and if you follow 57th enough to his house, you'll know he didn't grow up where ...

Classic CD!
I never thought I would own a Michael Bolton CD! I heard this one playing at a cocktail party while on vacation and I fell in love with the mix. This is a great CD to play while relaxing in your kitchen at home---cooking a great dinner for two. I highly recommend ...

Hank Thompson & His Brazos Valley Boys
EMI Special Products, 1996
Top Grade Honky Tonk
This is a real cracker of an album and at the price it's a true bargain. Some call Hank a Western Swing artist however I cannot agree with this moniker. He's much more in the honky tonk mould and quick listen to this album confirms such. Apart from the monster (in ...

First Daze Here: The Vintage Collection

Classic hard rock at its best... Pentagram--the American Black Sabbath!
Pentagram is one of those obscure bands that you will probably never hear about on a mainstream level. This band's cds, particularly the two compilations: "First Daze Here," and "First Daze Here Two," probably can't and won't be found at your local Best Buy or Tower ...
