The picture.......2006-12-11

I haven't purchased the CD but the picture of the inside of a church on the cover is not of a British church, like one would assume since it says its a recording of British choirs. This picture is of Notre Dame Basilica in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Just thought i'd let you know. I'll be honest; I'm one to judge things by it's cover and if the company took such care to choose a 'British' church for their British choir CD, I'm willing to bet the music is equally well selected... I'm being sarcastic. But I gave the product 5 stars because I didn't want to hurt its ratings just because i'm cynical. But check out the church if you're ever in Montreal, it's truly beautiful... here I'm not being sarcastic.

Two Classic Christian Rock Albums.......2007-03-30

I was aware of Sweet Comfort Band for years, but got the impression they were a little too jazzy for me, until I heard "Hearts Of Fire".

One drawback between some albums by the same artist is that there often is a formula. There is that pattern with these two projects. Both start off with a well orchestrated rocker ("Isabel" and "Runnin' To Win"), followed by another high energy song ("You Can Make It" and "What Have You Got"), with a ballad as the fourth song ("The Road" and "Haven't Seen You For A Long Time"). Back in the album days, the first songs on side B are also good lively rockers ("Now Or Never" and "Valaree"), followed by a mellower but intense hit ("Can You Help Me" and "Changed Hearts, Changed Lives").

One variation of the formula are the finales. "Hearts Of Fire" closes with "Reason For Your Life", a quiet commercial ballad that is meant as an encouragement. "Cutting Edge" ends with "Armed And Ready", a complex rocker with Randy Thomas and Brian Duncan sharing lead vocals, challenging the believer to be a valient Christian.

One contrast of the original covers. "Hearts Of Fire" show the band all smiling. "Cutting Edge" has a picture of them looking more somber and unhappy. One thing I'll comment: unless the theme dictates seriousness, I like it when Christian artists show the joy of the Lord instead of trying to look cool.

If you are smart enough to know that Christian rock is not a contradiction of terms, these classics belong in your collection.

My favorite songs on the collection are: "Isabel", "Can You Help Me?", "Contender", "Reason For Your Life" (all from "Hearts Of Fire"), "Runnin' To Win", "What Have You Got?", "Falling In Love Again", "Changed Hearts, Changed Lives", and "Armed And Ready".

The ultimate in "early" Christian songwriting.......2006-01-07

These lyrics can reach into the most crusty of old souls and speak to the heart. (The music ain't too shabby either.) From ministering to the wayward soul to what I would call the single-greatest "I want to marry you" song of all time, this album has it. I have a scratchy old vinly disc that still gets some play time.

And no, I'm not kidding, "Just Like Me" is the greatest "I want to marry you" song of all time. Christain, secular, rock, easy-listening, country, any genre . . . this is simply the best of all time.

The wonderfulness of Hagen.......2005-08-12

An absolute joy of a soundtrack from one of television's greatest (guilty?) pleasures. Composer Earle Hagen created brand-new music for each of I Spy's three-seasons-worth of episodes ... some 80 hours of television ... an amazing feat when other shows - even today - rely on just a few key musical cues. Here are half a dozen scores on 20+ tracks culled from eps throughout the series run (1965-1968). If you loved this series, or love big band or jazz, go for yourself and grab the CD.

"Golden Throats" Goes Country.......2006-08-11

Certain artists never should sing country music. Louis Armstrong and Carol Channing come to mind. On the other hand, there are many noted performers who simply should not sing -- regardless of genre. Leonard Nimoy, Goldie Hawn and Jack Palance remain standouts in this particular category. If you want celebrity vocal prowess, look no further than "Golden Throats 3: Sweet Hearts of Rodeo Drive." Along with these aforementioned entertainers, you get mind-boggling rarities such as Merv Griffin's "Tumbling Tumbleweeds," Telly Savalas' "I Walk the Line" and Lorne Greene's French interpretation of "Ringo." Order now -- operators are standing by!

Great songs.......2005-09-14

If you like something a little different you will like this. Worth the price for Slim Pickens alone (Desperados Waiting for a Train).

Celebrities sing classic country!.......2003-07-07

The Golden Throats series continues with celebrities singing some truly bad versions of country songs. If you are like me, you find this sort of thing hilarious. I'd like to mention a few of the "highlights". "Hey, Good Looking" is performed here by John Davidson, who makes Pat Boone sound soulful. In one of the most misguided ideas ever, Merv Griffin sings a "twist" version of "Tumbling Tumbleweeds". Broadway legend Carol Channing & country music legend Webb Pierce team up for one of the most unlikely duets of all time. And you get two versions of "I Walk the Line". Whose is worse, Leonard Nimoy's or Telly Savalas's? It's close, but Kojak beats Spock by a nose (or a lollipop). If you like the other Golden Throats volumes, you should enjoy this, especially if you have an interest in country music.

not as good as the previous two, but entertaining.......2003-06-21

this, the third cd in the golden throats series, doesnt measure up to the inspired lunacy of the first two. its not the choice of material or the limits of using only mangled country music, its just that nothing on here matches the sebastian cabot/william shatner/sammy davis cuts of vols. 1 & 2. theres still plenty to enjoy here, if yer into that kind of thing. the hip swingin take on "hey good lookin" by john davidson which makes the rounds during martini hour at my house, the appalling attempt by louis armstrong to bray "almost persuaded" as if its from porgy & bess, the BAFFLING choice to use lorne greenes FRENCH version of "ringo", & walter brennan literally sounding like he's about to keel over in desperation for "cool water" are all phenomenally awe inspiring. one of my personal favorites is everyones favorite bomb riding yahoo, slim pickens, "interpretation" of "desperados waiting on a train", sounding like he got to the studio after a 2 week bender & handed the lyric sheet. when he cuts loose at the end with actual SINGING, your jaw will be scraping the floor. in a nutshell, (or more approriately, in an outhouse), if you love the first 2 golden throats, you'll like this, but its not essential.

Not really worth the money.......2002-08-15

Country music,good or bad, leaves me cold - the standout performances in this gawdawful compilation are Buddy Ebsen warbling through classic Hank Williams (Your Cheating Heart) and Lorne Greene's alien-sounding "French" version of Ringo. I am French myself, and I can tell you he speaks it with a truly unusual accent. The Wink Martindale number is a specially nauseating brand of treacle that should be avoided at all costs.

I special-ordered the item to have all three Golden Throats compilations, but would not do so again...

Customer Reviews:

An Up & Coming Artist who has arrived!.......2001-03-08

This is the one. Of all the previous df/SONiA stuff, this is the best! It has a from-the-gut confidence to it that I think finally puts her up there with the big boys where she belongs. I saw her at a gig in a bookstore where she absolutely rocked the quiet little house. She is truly an amazing performer. Just her guitar, harmonica and voice sound like an entire band - nothing is missing from the sound. Still folky, but more full and cohesive. The title track brings me to tears every time with its honest strength. Buy this CD purely for the sound or for the meaning in the lyrics, you won't be sorry either way - the two meld like PB & J. And try & catch her live sometime!

You want variety?.......2000-04-16

With her throaty sounds in "opinion #33", make-you-get-up-and-dance rhythm in "My Baby" and the wonderful proclamation borrowed from Harvey Fierstein in "grass for the lambs", you cannot miss with this latest contribution to the earth from SONiA. Oh, and if you're having a bad day, crank up "turtle flowers" complete with the opening and closing conversations between SONiA and Dylan V. It heals my soul with each listen.

Only SONiA.......1999-12-21

Without a doubt there is no singer/songwriter in the country and perhaps the world with the depth of SONiA. She continues to write about the world in ways which touch your soul. You will smile at "Bumblebee", dance to "Lovesick" and "My Baby", and cry with "Me,Too" and love everything before and after. I love It!

Sonia's best effort in years.......1999-11-19

I've been a fan since the early days of disappear fear, and have missed Cindy on the last couple of CDs and tours as well. But "Me, too" showcases Sonia in what may be her best work yet. Good music, good lyrics, and fine production by Sonia and John Grant.

And this is an independent release -- support indie music!

True Delight.......1999-11-05

On 'Me Too' SONiA truly shines musically and lyrically. My lasting first impression was 'this is a happy album,' one that can be listened to over and over. Highly recommended

exquisite.......1999-12-02

This cd was a genuine delight. The music, plus really good liner notes, was an education in itself. I knew little about this group of composer- arrangers and the time in which they lived. "Fat White Woman Whom Nobody Loves" may not have been meant as humorous, but it was anyway. This has got to be one of the KS'S all-time best.

A "folksy", crossover approach to 17th century English music.......2006-04-29

"The King's Delight": 17th Century Ballads for Voice and Violin Band by William Byrd, Michael Praetorius, John Whitfield, Johann Schultz, Samuel Scheidt, William Brade, Thomas Simpson and various anonymi, including traditional pieces arranged by David Douglass. Performed by The King's Noyse (Ellen Hargis, soprano; David Douglass and Robert Mealy, renaissance violins; Jane Starkman and Scott Metcalf, renaissance violas; Emily Walhout, bass violin) and Paul O'Dette, lute and cittern.
Recorded in November, 1992, at the Campion Center, Boston, Massachussetts. Harmonia Mundi HMU 907101. Total time: 72'43".

Although the music here is highly entertaining in itself, this CD should really only be heard after studying Jack Ashworth's informative booklet notes, and preferably also with some knowledge of 16th and 17th century English music. This period in English musical history is generally associated with the "viol consort" in which a group of differently-sized "viols" or "violas da gamba" played together with the musicians sitting around a set of notes, sometimes accompanied by a recorder or voice. This kind of music is quite ethereal but probably does not reflect the reality of life in early 17th century England (the epoque of Shakespeare, Webster and Jonson). In recent years it has been established that not only the nasal-sounding "viol", but also the violin was played "in consort", and various musicians have gone about re-creating this sound. Among the first were The Parley of Instruments in England and The King's Noyse in the USA, who here present their first-ever disk containing so-called "broadside ballads", interspersed with dance tunes, some of which have been delivered down to us in manuscript, others of which are of more traditional nature and have been arranged by David Douglass for this particular variety of consort. There are also three solos by that miracle of lute-playing, Paul O'Dette, using a different instrument each time. The effect of the whole is quite "folksy", approaching in some ways a "crossover" approach. The gentle strings of the instrumental pieces are captivating, while Ellen Hargis does a great job of making her ballads sound as they might have done in a 17th century tavern, including using a regional English accent. Her singing is, of course, not always "beautiful", with some quite harsh leaps and the recording venue producing some pretty sharp echoing at louder points - not something everyone will appreciate, but definitely contributing to the "authenticity" of the recording, insofar as there can be such a thing with music from such a distant period. I purchased this CD because it was awarded "Disk of the Month" status in a German-language Early Music magazine.

Gentle sounds such as these will always enjoy command over t.......2004-07-08

The selections on this disc are quite nice, on par with "The Queen's Delight" disc also from the same artists.

The tone of some selections is a bit more serious perhaps, but I wish to offer that Ellen Hargis' fine soprano voice lends great magic and power to the vocal selections. And though I am sensitive to harsh or annoying sound, that is not, I found, the case with her work here. The ear of the beholder is all-important, of course, and we all have our preferences.

The graceful and elegant work of The King's Noyse will warm your heart, gladden your spirits, and engender your gratitude and curiosity for that unique period of time which gave rise to these ballads. Gentle sounds such as these will always enjoy command over time.

I don't get it. . .the singing is excellent!.......2004-06-29

Other reviewers love the instrumental selections and berate the singing. Personally I find the purity of tone of the singer absolutely captivating. I do not hear any shrillness at all. The recorded sound seems ideal for this music, and all performers, singer and instrumentalists, are top notch, as is the selection of compositions on this CD. Highly recommended.

lovely instrumentals, shrill vocals.......2001-12-19

This is one CD that doesn't get much play at my home. The instrumental work is very nicely done and very enjoyable to listen to (I'd give that part 5 stars). If I knew how to rip the files into MP3 format and make a selected play list, I'd listen to some selections all the time. The big negative for this CD is the vocal work. The soprano does not have a very pretty voice in the first place, and she seems to delight in singing everything a bit too slowly- thus there is no flow of musical phrasing and zero momentum to the songs. I can't stand her emphasis on interval leaps here- it's hard to describe, but the result is rather like fingernails on a chalk board. The vocal leaps are certainly in tune, but her style is shrill and brash. She only allows her voice to flower when in really high register. On top of the emphasis on shrill interval jumps, they apparantly decided to record these in an echo chamber. The overall result is so shrill and brash and uncomfortable that I rarely take out this recording to enjoy the gorgeous violin band work.

There are few clips available that demonstrate this unpleasentness on the amazon site, but you could listen carefully to the "att noone dulcina rested" snippet for an example. For much nicer vocal presentations of some of the very same ballads, you may prefer Custer La Rue's incredible voice on "art of the bawdy song" recorded by Baltimore consort (which is flawed by the recordings included by the "merry companions"), or the very old "pills to purge melancholy" recording by the City waites.

Awesome Renaissance Music.......2000-09-29

Don't miss this CD is you love renaissance music played on period instruments. Lively and delightful to listen to. It will sweep your heart away!

a fine fusion.......1999-03-22

The Philip Glass of the Middle East; Kahn and Taschner present a smooth and sometimes mystical blend of Indic-Islamic sound with western-tech and subtle modern overtones. Sometimes intoxicating, most often unobstrusive-lovely, but not too daring, ultimately quite soothing.
