POWERFUL VOICES.......2006-02-28

Young tenors at their individual and collective best. Powerful, dynamic, and emotionally charged performance.
Good selection of vocal works for the newcomer, some light, some heavy.

Best discovery in music in a quite some time........2005-07-08

I happened to see this ensemble perform in concert on PBS one night last winter during a fund raiser.

All that I can say is, "Wow".

Since that time I have purchased this CD for myself and as gift to three other music lovers; all of which have offered me their gratitude.

It is not very often that a musical experience of skill and talent surfaces. They hold us within the magic of voice, combined with musical stanzas and lyric, and the chemistry of TEAMWORK.
The gentlemen excel in such offerings as Vangelis' "Conquest of Paradise", "World Anthem", and the melancholy Irish "Thunderpoint", which sends chills down my spine.

If I can choose one group to open the next Olympics celebration it is The Ten Tenors.
I can only hope that they broaden their US tour.
I can also only hope that they continue to produce and record more albums.

Bravo

Larger Than Life.......2005-07-04

Yes, clearly the name alone is a homage/copy from the Three Tenors and, no, they aren't as operatic as the others. However, they are 10 guys who sing a cross between choir, Broadway, opera and a capella. That said, you'll find these guys encapitvating. First of all, the operatic aspect is a misnomer, because when they're having fun, they're at their best. Listen to them do their Dancing Queen Melody. Not only is it well done, it's fun and hysterical.

This all said, the CD contains a bonus DVD disc, which in my opinion blows away the CD. Not that it's as well produced; however, you need to see these 10 guys interact to get the idea of how good they are. Their faces express the emotion, as all 10 of them work together to take you across various musical genres. Their interaction is what makes them special, which is why I say, "Buy this CD for the DVD"

very good.......2005-07-04

Delta Air Lines featured most of this album on thier in-flight audio, and I heard it on a long flight and its equally long return. Bought the album after that. Not a fan of opera, classical, or pop, I was surprised to find that The Ten Tenors did all of these better then any of the three genres' more popular artists. I enjoy the album and recommend it as adult contemporary.

"brilliant arrangements and performances ~ The Ten Tenors".......2004-10-23

Rhino Records presents not just Three Tenors or Irish Tenors...but the latest surprise on the classical scene is The Ten Tenors with their new album "Larger Than Life", featuring a fourteen track compact disc and four cue bonus Live DVD...Australian gentlemen who will thrill you with classical vocal repertoire of ballads and even a classic rock tune or two.

Students in 1995 studying opera classics, they performed in 1998 while attending the University and began touring...haven't stopped since ~ their individuality and comradeship with close touching harmony will soon grab you and never let go ~ outstanding performances "STONDE" [Patrick Abrial/Jean Marc Grossi/Thierry Micaelli], beautiful beyond words, "POR UNA CABEZA" [Carlos Gardel/Alfredo Le Para], the tango from the film "Scent Of A Woman", the vocal is extraordinary, "SUNDANCE" [Andy Arthurs/Philip Chambon], folk genre beat with tempos that get completely under your skin, terrific arrangements by the composer, "DESTINY LIES" [Craig Atkinson/Stewart Morris], lead vocal by Jason Turbull reads like a Top Ten New Age Hit, full orchestra and chorus abound ~ "CONQUEST OF PARADISE" [Vangelis], non stop harmony and brilliant orchestration with the full voices of The Ten Tenors, enough power to light up a big city block ~ "BICYCLE RACE" [Freddie Mercury], the ultimate big hit of Queen, brilliant arrangements by Shannon Brown and Drew Graham.

If you love classical and outstanding vocals by young talent, then this one has your name on it...watch out world here comes some of the best of the best around today...hats off to Rhino and Warner Bros. for this one of a kind release...hope to see more of the same...piano, arranger and synthesizer by Steven Baker..the DVD is really a trip and a half...great job by one and all ~ The Ten Tenors

Northern Period Counterpoint to "Sacred Harp".......2006-10-05

A beautiful collection of "low-church" hymns in a folk style, but from the North. Some similarities to Sacred Harp-style shape-note singing, mostly found in the South, but from New England and largely taken from mid-19th Century period sources. Extremely well-performed and haunting, these songs will be running through your head for weeks after your mega-church's latest electric guitar extravaganza fades away.

Nearly Lost Heritage.......2000-08-09

I am appreciative of any CD, such as this one, that brings the sounds of traditional hymns to modern ears. This CD includes familiar gospel with not so familiar hymns that whisper of a rich heritage nearly lost in the maze o modern choruses. Many of these modern songs lack the genuine passion found in the traditional songs found on this CD. I recommend this CD to those who are interested in cultural history as well as in beautiful hymn texts.

Johnny Kidd.......2007-05-10

Early British Rock 'n' Roll had one uncompromising act in Johnny Kidd &
The Pirates. In this day of Johny Depp, maybe Kidd didn't screw up that
bad with his moniker. He sure didn't with his music. When others went for the softer side, Cliff Richard, Billy Fury, Adam Faith and even Marty
Wilde and Tommy Steele, Kidd rocked on.

So he did covers, so what. At times his versions were better than the
American ones. Not knocking the U.S. originals but Kidd made them his own.
The Who owes a lot to "Shakin' All Over" just to name one tune. If the
British TV series "Top Of The Pops" tapes are still around, I hope they
get released. But those tapes were probably taped over, those cheap BBC
idiots who are probably now knighted for their frugality.

Enough remorse...we still have these recordings. Kidd rocks!

Some precisions about these 2 records on this CD.......2003-11-05

The two records put together on this Johnny Kidd CD are not from a UK origin as it seems to be understood. Both were prepaired by a french fan named GEORGE COLLANGE, co-operating with french label Pathe Marconi which issued them first (C 062-04422 in May 1970, and 2C 062-04731 in 1971 for the 2nd one). I'm sure of this because I (Serge Dumonteil, aka Stevie Dixon) contributed to the titles compilation on the 1st one, with my friend Jacques Grimbot. And another friend Yves Chantereau (aka Roll Chanty !) drew the J.Kidd portrait which appeared on the "Memorial Album". Which is the best of the two as it is said in the other review which is quite relevant.

The forgotten premier British rock group before the Beatles.......2003-05-24

Test your knowledge of rock 'n' roll history: what was the premier rock 'n' roll band in England before the Beatles? Okay, the answer is subjective, but let me make the case for Johnny Kidd & the Pirates. The short version would be to say that this group was the Who before the Who were the Who (in fact in their early days the Who played on the same bill with the Pirates). Johnny Kidd (born Frederick Heath) started off with a skiffle group, just like the Beatles, and eventually formed the group known as Johnny Kidd & the Pirates with Alan Caddy on guitar, Tony Docherty playing rhythm guitar, and drummer Ken McKay, which was signed to EMI.

The group had one hit, "Shakin' All Over," which is considered the first international rock classic. But it was their first record, "Please Don't Touch," that is more representative of their style. We are talking R&B-based rock for the original compositions counterbalanced by some less than stellar covers of recognizable standards like "Doctor Feelgood" and "Your Cheating Heart." The best way to describe Johnny Kidd's vocals is that he signs exactly like every parent who worried that rock `n' roll was the devil's music feared. Ironically, "Shakin' All Over" was originally the B-Side for a lame cover of "Yes Sir, That's My Baby," but somehow disc jockeys were able to tell which was the better song and the result was rather eye-opening in terms of what could be produced by an English rock `n' roll band. Historically, I can make the argument that Kidd and Caddy were the first standout singer and guitarist duo fronting a band. Before Jagger and Richards, these two were the guys.

Unfortunately, the group's nickname served as a liability because they insisted on dressing up as pirates on stage (pause for a moment and reflect in horror on the Beatles taking the same approach). All reports are that they put on a wild stage show, but as long as the lead singer was wearing an eye patch it had to undercut their credibility. Add to that the fact the EMI did not know what to do with the group, which underwent almost constant changes in membership until 1966 when Kidd was killed in a car crash. This explains why the first of the two albums on this CD is called "The Johnny Kidd Memorial Album." It is not a question of making a case for which of the two albums is better, that one of "Your Cheatin' Heart," because the clear division is between the raw rock `n' roll of the original compositions and the covers. The latter just do not sound as true. From a historical perspective Johnny Kidd and the Pirates are the road not taken and you can only wonder what would have happened if they found a savvy manager like Brian Epstein or a first class producer like George Martin.

SUBTLE IT AINT.......2004-03-19

If you like your BLUES traditional, you will hate this. These guys power through 10 BLUES / ROCK tracks like their life depended on it ( emphasis on ROCK ). Raucous and a whole lot of fun. These guys don't take themselves serious and create such an exuberant CD. I dare you to sit still through this one - it truely rocks. Both are good / great guitarists and obviously enjoy playing together. We know PAUL is great, but the surprise is KIDD who more than holds his own when they trade licks.
If you like the GUITAR - ELECTRIC BLUES - ROCK, you will like this. Crank it up and enjoy!!!

Disappointing,..........2002-09-30

I was pretty disappointed with this album. I've tried to let it grow on me, but have been unsuccesful. This album seems very thrown together, and reminds me of a recorded version of several impromtu bands I've been involved with in the past, where the 'band' was formed specifically for an upcoming party or celebration when someone says, "Hey, we should play some music at the party." Everyone agrees to it, and hauls any amp/PA/drum-kit equipment over to Bob's place about a week before the party 'cause he has the biggest garage and his neighbors are old and deaf. With about 6-days 'til the party, we slap together a set-list and plow through the songs. Invariably, the majority of the songs are 'blues' in nature as they are easy to pick up and improvise over. At this point, we decide that we need more, but are too tired to rehearse anything else, so we decide to play the 'extended-version' of a few songs,...one of which always seems to be 'Red House'.

While it's obvious the players are having a good time playing together on this album, it feels as though the listener is a secondary consideration. The tone of the songs is kinda humorous and light, which is fine, but overall I felt as though it was just a rehashing of straight-forward rock-n'-roll 101, with little in the way of pushing any boundries - a lot like walking into Bob's garage.

PURE ROCK!.......2002-08-31

What happens when you pair Racer X/Mr. Big shed master Paul Gilbert with a classic rock/blues guitarist like Jimi Kidd, well you get "Raw Blues Power", with the emphasis on "Power". There are no subtleties here, no shyness, little restraint and no delta blues or otherwise. What you get is gigawatts of testosterone elevating solos by two extremely talented guitarists. These guys are not from the school of minimalists. If it doesn't contain 120 notes per second, it's not worth playing. This is not Eric Clapton and B.B. King or Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert King. This is Godzilla meets Rodan. Call it what you might, just don't call it "blues". Sit down, strap a seatbelt on, crank it up and blast off.

Awsome CD!!!!!.......2002-08-06

This is a fun blues album with good songs and good playing from Paul and his uncle Jimi Kidd. Every song is good in it's own way and it's good to see Paul branch outside of the metal/ shred world and try something different. I highly recommend this cd.

gottagitit.......2002-05-18

If you are a fan of Paul Gilbert, the Blues and hard driving guitar playing you will love this CD. The family connection between Jimi Kidd (Paul's Uncle) and Paul is obvious when their intertwined solo's mesh into a seemless wall of power-blues. I think I chopped 15 seconds off my 2 mile run time while listening to this CD.

Not bad actually..........2006-02-07

Though this album doesn't exactly represent the pinnacle of excellence in hip-hop, there are a few tracks on here that are worth a listen. This is especially true if you were/are a fan of either rap from the mid-90s or NBA basketball from that era. It's a plus if you happen to like both (as I did as a teenager back in the day).

Tracks of note on here are:

1) Malik Sealy - Don't Get Lost In The Sauce - An extremely "real" track about his upbringing, lessons learned from life, and his dedication and focus. It is actually of historical importance because Malik Sealy died unexpectedly a few years later... making this track all that much more important. The song as a whole (including beat and lyrics) is also quite good.

2) Cedric Ceballos f/ Warren G - Flow On - A popular west-coast anthem for it's time. It's sound embodies the prime of G-funk era music and is fun to listen to.

3) Jason Kidd - What The Kidd Didd - Though he pretty much just talks about how big he is, the song has a tight beat and is engineered well. It's actually pretty funny to listen to some of the lyrics now, but entertaining nonetheless.

4)Gary Payton - Living Legal And Large - Gary Payton is considered old skool now, but he was in fact "legal and large" in the 90s. The content in this song is enjoyable to listen to and the beat is worth mentioning too.

In sum, I guess this album targets a very niche audience... So if you happen to appreciate the NBA of the mid-90s or when rap was just beginning to become a worldwide phenomenon (or the intersection of the two), you might want to pick this one up.

Superb la Rue Mass fails to communicate.......2002-01-13

It is unfortunate that the present recording is the only one available of this beautiful and highly approachable Mass by the still under-rated Pierre de la Rue. The singing is very ordinary, with poor balance, intonation and ensemble. The vexed issue of 'musica ficta' is also poorly handled, making this performance almost unlistenable to someone - like me - with particular ideas on this subject. The Lamentations are no better, I am afraid.

A commendable effort marred by poor intonation.......1999-05-22

The music of La Rue is not as well-known as it should be, but perhaps the next wave of early music recordings will rectify this. The music, especially the Lamentations, is somber and haunting, with some arresting (and forward-looking) chromaticisms. I wanted to like this CD, but unfortunately this ensemble is plagued throughout by noticeably sour intonation, especially the baritone (Billingsley). This has the effect of making one extremely uneasy and edgy while listening: the sublime harmonic progressions that are the core of this music miss their mark and never quite jell. That's really too bad, because Moll's reading is largely competent and emotive. Wait for another recording.

Funky beats, crazy lyrics, and the guitar of Kidd Funkadelic himself combine to create a fitting final Westbound LP for Funkadelic. This 1976 album saw them score another Top 20 hit as P-Funk madness started to take over the R&B charts. Includes the R&B hit "UnDisco Kidd", which sees George Clinton and Bootsy define the Funkadelic sound that would peak with "One Nation Under A Groove" two years later. The 2005 CD package also reissues all seven tracks of the original album and adds the rare 45 edit of "UnDisco Kidd" from the same year. Includes in-depth notes by Funkadelic expert Dean Rudland, including information taken from exclusive interviews with band member Fuzzy Haskins and the band's press officer Tom Vickers. The booklet fully reproduces Pedro Bell's distinctive cartoon artwork, and features period memorabilia and photographs. Westbound U.S.
