Judds Reunion: Live Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In the younger Judd days, Wynonna was kind of the "Silent' partner with the great voice, and the focus tended to be on Naomi. (Even though, the movie portrayal of Wynonna as a little girl depicted a sarcastic, hilarious little hellion). Now that she's all grown up, Wynonna has come into her own and developed an "intrigue" and "fascination" as incredible as Naomi's, and her voice (always wonderful) has strengthened and become even more powerful.
This was the "concert" you never wanted to end. They sang all their best songs, and it's as if they reach out and send love and compassion and hope through their music and through their lives.
I am fighting a terminal illness, and I have learned one important thing from the Judds. I remember in the movie when the Judds were starting out and getting rejected by everyone, and they were discouraged, Wynonna said to her mother, "What are the chances of our making it anyway--about a billion to one?" Naomi answered her and said, "Then, we'll be that one!" I never forgot it. When a doctor told me my chances were about a million to one, I remembered Naomi and said, "Then I'll be that one!" These two women have given us all so much in so many ways. I read somewhere that Naomi struggles because she wants to "save" everybody, and she can't. Maybe not, but she can certainly give people the "Hope" and the "Faith" in God to save themselves, and she has done that. God bless these two wonderful women!

Waitin on Sundown Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This album is fantastic! It produced what I consider to be two of the best songs of Brooks & Dunn's whole career: She's Not The Cheatin' Kind and You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone. Other good songs are Silver and Gold, I'll Never Forgive My Heart, and Whiskey Under The Bridge. There are a couple of songs that I could've done without, but it's easy to overlook a couple of bad songs when you listen to all of the excellent songs on this album. Buy it today! You'll be glad you did!

Ride With Bob Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First the cover caught my eye, then the list of all star guests from Shawn Colvin to Lyle Lovett to Reba McEntire. As an easterner who grew up on pop music, I didn't know a thing about Asleep at the Wheel or Bob Wills, I am embarrassed to say. But after listening to this CD many times, I want to know more. Every song is a gem. Some will break your heart; try "Faded Love" with Shawn Colvin and Lyle Lovett. Others will make you laugh; try "Roly Poly" with the Dixie Chicks. The whole thing is evocative of another time, from "San Antonio Rose" with Dwight Yoakum to and "St. Louis Blues" with Merle Haggard. If you've tired of pop music like I have and turned to other forms like jazz and swing for listening entertainment, you'll love this album. Plus the liner notes are so creative and fun to read (really)! Thanks to Roy Benson and Asleep at the Wheel for a real treat.

Farewell Concert Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For my money they were one of the most important acts in American popular music in the 20th century. The Statler Brothers would rank right up there with the Mills Brothers, Ol' Blue Eyes, Elvis and Bing. After all, they were a fixture on the country music charts for more than a quarter century. They hosted a highly successful variety show on the Nashville network for seven years. And audiences flocked to see them perform for nearly four decades. And like the Mills Brothers before them the Statlers had their own inimitable sound.
"Farewell Concert" is a celebration of the phenomenal career of the Statler Brothers. The 2 disc set features a dozen of the groups most memorable chart hits including "Elizabeth", "More Than A Name On A Wall", the moving tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for the rest of us in Vietnam as well as two of my very favorite Statler hits "The Class of '57" and "Do You Remember These". And as anyone who has ever been to a Statler Brothers concert knows the group always liked to dabble in all kinds of music. And so the group highlights some of their favorite tunes from the 1950's including "Oh Baby Mine" (aka "I Get So Lonely"), "Moments To Remember", "Memories Are Made of This" and one the groups all-time favorites "The Great Pretender." And if you watched the TV show you know that Harold always had a story or two. Such is the case here as well. And in the final segment the group treats us to a few familiar gospel tunes including of course "How Great Thou Art" and the closing number "Amazing Grace" which was the first song the group ever sang together. And so while we will never see Harold, Phil, Don and Jimmy perform again it is a comfort to know that this final concert has been recorded for posterity.
It is an outstanding disc and one that I will cherish for the rest of my days. The Statler Brothers were truly one of my all time favorites! Very highly recommended!

Rascal Flatts Live (DVD & Audio CD) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After always having skipped Rascal Flatts for fear of another boy-group in country disguise I recently had the pleasure to see them open for Kenny Chesney and to mildly put it: I was more than impressed!!! I think they almost stole the show with a tight set, that had everything from their hits to ballads to jamming instrumentals to punchy rock'n'noll!
So I decided to get a shot at this CD, which I then found out it is actually a DVD with a full concert ("Melt on the Beach") and an accompanying CD. This is a Live-DVD like no other in country music; matter of fact I guess there is only a hand full of big production concert DVDs (if any at all) available. "Melt on the Beach" has great camera shots, even better music and a wonderful live feel to it. It makes you want to go out and go to their next concert right away.
The CD (although short) holds an excellent live version of "One Good Love" that drags out with playful instrumentals which you rarely get to hear in country music plus the audio version of some tracks from the DVD.
A one-of-a-kind great package that will get you dancing!
P.S.1: I don't understand why there are no other country DVD offerings available like that, when they are all over the place in pop music. Just thinking that none of the great Garth Brooks concerts or videos is available on DVD makes me wonder. Making a concert special definitely is expensive, but packaging existing videos shouldnt be that much of a deal (not one of the great Reba videos is available on DVD to my knowledge)!?
P.S.2: Fortunately this DVD is NOT region code 1, as indicated by Amazon, which being from Europe allows me to watch it too. This brings me to another questionable business aspect: coding Music DVDs with region code 1 means, that only North America (or whatever the detailled region is) is able to play that DVD. And since country music DVDs (such as the Greatest Video Hits by Travis Tritt for instance) are not issued outside of the US mostly, they will forever remain a well hidden secret for the rest of the world (unless you make an illegal copy to strap the region code, which is the only way to watch it all - can we call that promoting illegal copying by record companies!?).
