Is music for a good cause a good cause for music? Not really, if you expect artistry. But this smorgasbord of popular international musical stars brings together extreme musical genres for an excellent purpose, and is enjoyable enough for almost anyone. Pavarotti's relaxed and buoyant leadership and still gorgeous tenor add beauty to the rock/pop selections. Trisha Yearwood, Celine Dion, and Stevie Wonder impressively hold their own against Opera Spice; but the other artists pale against the master's presence. The Spice Girls will never be confused with Anonymous 4; Zucchero's growling is scary; Florent Pagny exemplifies French rock; and Pino Daniele's breathy tenor is mellow and soothing. Best for those wanting to experience Pavarotti's vocal beauty in a more popular idiom. --Barbara Eisner Bayer

A Superb Collection of Music.......2002-11-14

As a musician, I first ran into this disk as a PBS broadcast. What caught my ear was that every song in the concert has "the groove." Other than a children's choral cut, not a single song in the entire collection has a flaw. You'd think the Spice Girls would be a silly addition to the concert, but they do a tremendous job. Each artist appears twice, usually with Pavaotti in one of their songs, sometimes twice. Vanessa Williams is Hot! and does an incredible dance number. The engineering is excellent, with solid side-to-side separation for a really "big" sound. All in all, this is one of the favorite CDs in my music library.

This is a delightful combination of music talents to enjoy!.......1999-04-01

We first saw Pavarotti and Friends on Public Television as a fundraising event. We found the CD and especially love to listen to this CD in our car which has a great sound system. Each vocalist is so special and you will be singing along with them after a couple of plays!

This will tenderize your heart........1999-03-07

Brilliant talent for needy children, that touches the soul, and sets it on fire. Your tears will soak your socks. James

Phenomenal !! A must have for any music library........1998-12-29

A most wonderful gathering of some of the world's greatest vocalists. Such a unique blend of international Modern & Classical. If one were to put to test the ability of a vocalist to adapt to a variety of melodies, this is it. Grab your lover and take a trip in their arms with this CD!!

Outstanding Music, bringing Pavarotti to new heights........1998-12-06

Easily the best in the Pavarotti & Friends series. Always an artist on the cutting edge, with this album, Pavarotti's work will have great appeal to his fans and to scores of new enthusiasts. His duets with the Spice Girls, Vanessa Williams, Zucchero, and Stevie Wonder make it obvious that his voice has adaptability and a passion that takes it into many musical genres with ease. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Sting once commented that great music occurs in the "synaptic gaps" where many different styles come together - this is an album that epitomizes the concept. Neopolitan music is a folk music in Italy, with overtones of American folk/country/jazz/rock, and Pavarotti is the Neopolitan master. This is a perfect fit of artists and selected titles. Earlier combinations of artists in this series were often much too somber, much less fun. Give this one to your teens or your great grandmother ... they'll find they have more musical tastes in common than they'd have ever imagined.

Album Description

After two solid years of touring with the likes of Flogging Molly, the Vans Warped Tour, The Casualties, Tiger Army, The Adolescents, and several headlining runs, L.A.'s Briggs now deliver their most ambitious album to date with lyrics that are a lot more in-depth than on previous records. While singer Joey LaRocca cites songwriter influences like Billy Bragg, Hank Williams, Bob Dylan, and Elvis Costello, this record still packs plenty of punk rock punch. Produced by Joe Gittleman (The Mighty Mighty Bosstones).

Back To Higher Ground.......2007-05-08

The Briggs-Back To Higher Ground ****


The Larocca brothers Joey and Joason, the heart and soul of The Briggs have brought the band together for their most abitious studio album yet Back To Higher Ground. The album is just as powerful or as strong as any street punk album out today. Joey and Jason aside from playing guitar and singing all the vocals the two brothers also write almost all of the material for the album as well. Loud fast punk rock with socialy concious lyrics are The Briggs' mainstay because why fix what isnt broken right? Chris X is very prominant on this album, more so infact then on the bands pervious recordings. Ryan Roberts is more and more showing himself as one of punk rocks strongest and best bass players to date.

The albums title track opens up the album. 'Back To Higher Ground' is a great song about never backing down and standing your ground. Excellent lyrics and guitar that is played agressively yet melodicly. A wonderful way to start off the album. It really lets you know what you are in for. 'Let Them Know' is just one great vocal performance. Simply fantastic. No punk album is complete these days with out least one song about the powers that be and this is that song. 'Song Of Babylon' doesnt have a very clear message as to what it is about, seems open to inrepretation, but none the less it is a very goood song as well as a very catchy one. 'Common And Unknown' is one of the best songs on the album. Easily the best and strongest lyrics on the album. A great performance. Sure to become a concert favorite. A great song for the common man and the unsung heros. 'Maritime Tragidies' is next. Killer. Amazing chorus and incredible group vocals make this song very powerful. Listeners will be surly singing along with this track. 'Everyones An Actor' is full of wows and woooooows. Very agressive and in your face, which is hard to belieave concidering that the song is relativly slower than the rest of the album. 'Wasting Time' is straight up street punk. Great vocals and decent lyrics make this a great song. But the song does come across as The Briggs were in the studio trying to write a song while they were getting loaded and ended up making a drinking song about wasting time. 'Insane' is the closest to a ballad that the band gets on Back To Higher Ground. It is a nice song that takes the tone of the album down drasticly. 'My Own Enemy' is a insanly good song. There is nothing to say it speaks for itself. You must hear it to understand. It is totally the anti-thesis of punk rock in a punk rock song, so the irony helps to make the song even better. 'Harder To Stand' features some nice guitar playing and has a slight ska feel. Not much of a stand out but still a good song. 'Blacklist' is one of the better songs on the album. Not instantly memorable, it does take a while to grow on you but it is perhaps the best song on the entire album once you give it a chance. Back To Higher Ground closes with 'Dont Care' a song that is slow to start but once it gets some speed it doesnt let up until the end. The perfect closer for the album, though the song would have done just as well opening the album as it does closing. A slight ska bridge in the middle gives the song a nice texture as does the wonderful guitar interplay between Joey and Jason. Chris does a nice job of rythm changes and using odd time signatures in a punk song but it is Ryan that shines the most. His bass playng is the best that he has ever done, it really adds something nice to the song. It leaves you wanting more.

The Briggs are well on their way to becoming one of the great punk bands of all time. They are easily one of the strongest, with their great musical ability and their talent at writing great socialy concious lyrics with ease. Back To Higher Ground is a testement to how good this band is and how far they have come since their debut. As of the last 15 years most punk bands change drasticly after their first album and totally become what they started out against, which is not necessaraley a bad thing, but The Briggs have stuck to their guns and it has paid off in making this the bands best album to date.

Good stuff........2007-05-04

So after missing The Briggs twice this year already (once when they opened for Dropkicks and another time when they opened for Street Dogs), I purchased this album at their merch table the second time I missed them because my friend highly recommened it. I'm glad this person is my friend. This is probably my favorite CD I've bought all year. Every song is listenable, but songs like 'Back to Higher Ground', 'Let Them Know', 'Common & Unknown', 'Maritime Tragedies', 'Don't Care' and 'Blacklist' (my personal favorite) are outstanding.

I swear I'm not gonna miss them for a third time when Warped Tour rolls my way...

Classic punk.......2006-11-13

Really good-quality classic-style punk. Sounds a bit like vintage best-of Clash blended with the best working-class Dropkick Murphys tunes. Great, catchy riffs that don't skimp on the punk attitude. Proof that punk doesn't need to be raw or amateurish to be really damn good music.

HUGE Chili Pepper Fan.......2006-12-14

I enjoy this album very much. I am a RHCP fanatic although sometimes I am in the mood for light relaxing music and this fits perfectly. So, I get to enjoy the best of both worlds with this excellent tribute to their work. Might I add that Under the Bridge is beautifully composed here, and is my favorite track of all time and on this album as well.

Not-so-loud Chili Peppers' songs.......2006-10-30

First and foremost, The Red Hot Chili Peppers are a hard rock band. Nobody is going to buy this album in order to hear the Chili Peppers- that would be stupidity. There are only two reasons anybody would purchase this album:

1. You love the Chili Peppers' music and You want a change of pace.
2. You love listening to string instruments (such as the violin).

Buy this album if you love the Chili Peppers' music and you love strings. That sounds like a no-brainer...

enjoyable.......2005-03-10

I realy happend to enjoy this CD. I just bought it recently and every time i listen to it i feel like its the real thing because its so similar. I Love just relaxing to this cd. I think it is worth hearing.

Just my opinion.........2005-01-19

..but I just feel indifferent about this CD. I bought it thinking it would be an orchestrated-type stuff, which it is but I was hoping for something I could relax to. Whenever I hear the music in this CD, I think of weddings. Don't get me wrong, it's a good CD, but just not what I was expecting (which was a more relaxing kind of orchestration).

oh man.......2004-06-29

i bought this cd when i went looking for the last elusive cd that was missing from my rhcp collection(freaky styley, you should buy that one too)...i ended up walking out with this one as well and i rocked it all the way home with my windows open. this isn't an orchestral arrangement, it is a true to the original quartet: every solo, (almost) every fill, and every vocal que is present. The basslines jump from Persiani's prodigious upright (bass) and u can almost picture flea bouncing around. this work brought a whole new breadth and life to th emusic that makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end; and for that, i applaud the string quartet.

Higher Ground.......2003-11-04

Janie has always had a great love for music. I've know Janie since the 80's and rarely did you see her without her quitar. Her ability to write, sing and play what she feels in her heart is quite an exceptional talent. I love the way she incorporates nature in the words and sounds of her music. To listen to her music gives one a calm and peaceful feeling.
