Album Description

Recorded Live in 1989, this CD/DVD set documents the Osborne Brothers performance in Streekermoor, Germany. Only minimal overdubs and editing were possible, however, after two years of remastering efforts by Sonny Osborne and mastering engineer John Eberle, the final product has been vastly improved over the original master tapes. At the time the Brothers were touring with Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys. The liner notes describe in detail some of the experiences of touring with Monroe as well as the arduous mastering process. Live in Germany is a must-have recording for fans as it shows the Osborne Brothers at their peak and is one of the only live recordings available.

4 out of 5 stars The Osbornes having fun with their music in Germany in July, 1989.......2007-04-04

A very good value, this is actually a 2-CD plus DVD set (3 discs total). Kentuckian Bobby Osborne began his music career in 1949 with The Lonesome Pine Fiddlers. Sonny Osborne joined the group a year later at age thirteen. When The Osborne Brothers played Streekermoor, Germany on July 30, 1989, they had already been members of the Grand Ole Opry for 25 years and "Rocky Top" had been the designated state song of Tennessee for five years. Thus, these legendary bluegrass musicians were ambassadors for the genre, and they were greeted in the small venue on a rainy Sunday night by an extremely friendly and appreciative crowd. Along with Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys, the band had been touring throughout Europe. The Saturday night before this show they had played Switzerland, and then a 600-mile drive was required to reach this engagement in Germany. The CD jacket includes some interesting anecdotes and recollections such as Sonny's and Bobby's memories of traveling with Monroe.

At the time, the Osbornes' band also included Terry Eldredge (guitar, vocals), Terry Smith (bass), and Steve Thomas (fiddle). Thomas, Eldredge and Smith would've joined up with them about 1988, a year before this tour. From Indiana, Terry Eldredge had previously played with Lonzo & Oscar, and he was appearing on the Grand Ole Opry before he was even old enough to vote. Terry's tenure with The Osborne Brothers spanned the period from 1988-2000. He'd began with them as their bass player but switched to guitar when Terry Smith joined up. The 1981 Virginia State Fiddle Champ Steve Thomas had previously played with Del McCoury's Dixie Pals, Jim & Jesse, Lost & Found, and The Whites. He was with The Osborne Brothers from 1988-91. Besides hearing all their classic favorites like Kentucky, Listening to the Rain, Georgia Mules and Country Boys, Midnight Flyer, Tennessee Hound Dog, and Rocky Top, the show offers a number of special treats for fans. I especially enjoyed twin fiddles (Sonny and Steve) on "Your Love is Like a Flower," an 8-minute jamgrass version of "Nine Pound Hammer," Terry Smith's lead vocals on "Blue Ridge Cabin Home," and Terry Eldredge's lead vocals on three numbers (Muddy Bottom, If I Should Wander Back, Listening to the Rain).

In 2004, the audio and video for the 1989 show were brought to the attention of Sonny Osborne and the owner of the Pinecastle label, Tom Riggs. Rather than allow the show to be sold to the Bear Family label and put out without editing and mastering, Sonny and Tom decided to work with the raw products that had been recorded on a one-track tape machine and grainy video camera. Considerable work was needed to make this 2-CD and DVD set ready for marketing. While it still leaves a little to be desired, kudos to all those involved (like John Eberle who did the mastering) to make this a viable product. Charlie Cushman and Terry Smith overdubbed rhythm guitar and bass. Fiddler Glen Duncan was called in to fix a spot in "Nearer My God To Thee." You get the idea. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like much could be done with the video, but it still captures the energy and excitement of a live Osborne Brothers show. Although the liner notes only indicate that there are ten cuts on the DVD, it actually has 30 tracks with almost all of the songs included. I'm not sure why there is this discrepancy between the CD jacket and actual video. The DVD even includes some songs that aren't listed on the CDs such as Nine Pound Hammer, Say Ol' Man, My Favorite Memory, and Rock of Ages.

Sonny's liner notes state "that this live show is so typical...we always tried to have fun with our music...enjoy ourselves and one another." I understand that this is just the first of several unreleased Osborne Brothers recordings that Pinecastle will put out in the future. I certainly look forward to seeing and hearing what else they find in the archives. (Joe Ross, staff writer, Bluegrass Now)

4 out of 5 stars "Utterly" Great Album.......2004-07-12

I wish this was a ten star rating system, cause I would give this album a nine. I just have to reserve a five for a pinnicle record. Anyways, this is a really good live record. Like all of the "Live in a Dive" series, this record really represents the specific Utters show. I've seen them twice and it is picture perfect. Why are the Utters the Bay Area's favorite band? Listen and find out. After getting home from the enitial drive from buying the cd, I was on song 12, only half the way through. Yes!!! So many good songs! If there is one thing you can say from a Fat Wreck Chords release is that you are guarenteed to get your money's worth and more. PS. I was surprised at how well the backup vocals came out, they can't be easy.

4 out of 5 stars Live in a Dive.......2004-07-10

This release, the latest in the Fat Live in a Dive series, sees San Franciscan punks Swingin' Utters perform 23 of their fun punk tunes live. As with most punk bands, the Utters are at their best in their live element, proving that they can do their thing on stage just as well as they do in the studio, but with the added bonus of the on-stage banter, screams from the crowd, and of course the energy of a live punk show. All of these elements come together to give Live in a Dive that unique atmosphere that you can only find on a good live release. It's hard to pick highlights because it's all so good and so varied, with songs spanning the better part of their 15 year career having been included. With the acoustic `Fruitless Fortunes', and `All I Can Give', the faster, rawer, punk classics `Five Lessons Learned' and `Here we are Nowhere', and, of course, the fun sing-along favorites `The Dirty Sea' and `Catastrophe', the Swingin' Utters ensure that all bases are covered, making Live in a Dive accessible to all fans, new and old.

4 out of 5 stars Fine, heartfelt, mature work.......2003-12-24

A beautiful, stripped-down acoustic set, with Louvins enthusiast Charles Whitstein providing harmony vocals and playing mandolin. Although they cover some secular Louvins heartsongs such as "When I Stop Dreaming" and "My Baby's Gone," as well as the old Delmore Brothers hit, "Freight Train Boogie," the bulk of this album is devoted to gospel material, all of it quite nice and drenched in an old-time traditional vibe. Whitstein is a fine partner for Charlie, calm, understanted and every bit as soulful and sincere. A highly recommended record.

5 out of 5 stars just a correction :).......2005-01-18

Just wanted to make a correction that a staff change had been made for the Live in the Millenium album. Vince Johnson had taken over the baritone, and Kevin was no longer in the group. Fantastic CD, sure to please :)

5 out of 5 stars Live in the new millennium-Four Freshmen.......2002-12-23

Even though the voices change over the years, The unique Freshmen Sound is still intact. This change has been going on for over 50 years and it is hard to believe how good this transition has been. Each group brings its own uniqueness and personality. This live recording includes many of the Freshmen hits from old...Route 66, Graduation Days, Ponciana, Day by Day. They have added enough newer material that makes it a good blend of the past as well as the new. This includes Love Dance (a beautiful solo by Bob Ferreira), I fall in Love too easily, Walkin' my baby back home. Their final cut is a song (Their hearts were full of spring) that the lyrics and message stays with you for days. If you like Singers Unlimited or Manhattan Transfer then you LOVE this CD.

5 out of 5 stars The Standard.......2003-11-18

This CD has no equal and The Real Group has no peers. It is the single greatest live recording of small-group vocal jazz ever made. To give it less than 5 stars would indicate a lack of appreciation for vocal jazz, poor taste for vocal jazz, or not much knowledge/experience in listening to the genre.

Folks, Manhattan Transfer cuts live and in studio, in general, are some of the most robotic and undynamic tracks out there. They have great technical skill and some complex arrangements. That's all. Listening to more than a couple songs at a sitting makes me want to fill my ears with cotton. The same can be said about New York Voices (Manhatten Transfer Lite). Hey, let's sing perfect disharmonious chords with some interesting resolutions--all with the same rhythm, phrasing, dynamics and words. Both groups are extremely monophonic, which ultimately makes for a boring listen.

The *only* vocal jazz group I have ever heard that holds a candle to The Real Group is Lambert, Hendricks, and Ross. They are not in the same category as The Real Group (NYV and MT aren't really in the same category as TRG either, since Real Group is completely a cappella, and save some exceptions, NYV and MT aren't). Lambert, Hendricks, and Ross are supreme soloists, with some of the greatest live-recorded scats ever put on track. Throw in Swingin' Till the Girls on their compilation CD or live CD and check out what happens 45 seconds into the track. Wow. Their small swing band musicians, who they hand-picked, play some incredible stuff. Songs like Cloudburst (which NYV tried to duplicate but couldn't) and other classics will always be associated to the LHR recordings. The group's weakness? Their dynamics and blend are not as good as The Real Group's (nor should they be). They couldn't do songs completely a cappella without losing their kick because of the nature of the group--3 people. If they had 2 more members, we'd have a different story. Even then, they wouldn't have the same sensitivity to dynamic as The Real Group does.

It says something when Jon Hendricks actually WRITES the liner notes to The Real Group's "Unreal!" (Other reviewers may not be aware of this.) It also says something when he writes, "I wish I were in this group." When the best of the best expresses this kind of compliment, what does it say about the group?

The scatting of TRG and LHR is not the same, nor should it be. In group vocal jazz, scatting is secondary. The primary concern of an a cappella vocal jazz group is being able to structure complex arrangements around extremely controlled group dynamic without losing pitch or rhythm without the aid of a band. Jon Hendricks realizes this, as well as most other people who are actually involved in the vocal aspect of ensemble jazz. It is the goal of an a cappella jazz group to *not* be completely tight; doing so would make the phrasing stiff. ANYONE that listened to the Real Group's first album, Debut, would realize this. The recording was basically live in-studio, and has MT's type of tightness and technical bravado. The result? A boring listen! Basically TRG put out an album of MT's skill as their debut album. What they can do now, well over 15 years later, is sublime.

Now, each member of TRG sings as a soloist, with the dynamics of an ensemble. Their phrasing is much more loose. This is what makes the recording have no peers. Every cut, from Splanky to Den Lyssnande Maria is gold. What this group can do without the help of a band is unparallel. Listen to the countertenor and soprano in Strawberry Fields: they just hang notes in the air, each with their own dynamic, creating an incredible bed of sound while the alto sings the melody. Likewise, listen to how the alto, tenor, and countertenor intertwine their parts in Waltz for Debby. Listen to how they are all able to change tempo and volume together [especially when the bass is singing lyrical harmonies and not providing rhythm (e.g. When I Fall in Love and Den Lyssande)] while still remaining tight. Listen to the timbre of the bass when he IS providing rhythm. Check out the soprano's faux trumpet. Check out how the countertenor and alto's parts are intertwined. Listen to how the tenor glues the harmonies together. This stuff isn't easy to do kids. In fact, it has *never* been done before with this kind of skill up to this point.

5 out of 5 stars They prove that it doesn't just happen in the studio.......2003-05-30

The Real Group is often compared to groups like Singers Unlimited and Manhattan Transfer, but for my money, the Real Group blows them away. Their studio CDs, especially "One For All" and "Unreal" are absolute gems -- polished to a fine brilliance. On this CD, recorded live, they show that they can achieve a good 95% of their perfection outside of the studio. All that's missing is a few things that they can only do in the studio, such as more careful placement of mics, some "mouth-percussion", and a tiny bit of over-dubbing. Frankly, even without those studio "add-ons", they're still the best around.

Their intonation, ensemble, and clarity are truly remarkable. For those who have never heard of them, even though they are from Sweden, their English is impeccable. There is a fine range of repertoire here, from the dreamy "When I Fall in Love", the almost ethereal "Round Midnight", to the jazzy "Splanky", to the tongue-in-cheek "Good Bait". Their rendition of "Strawberry Fields" is surprisingly authentic; you might even like this one better than the Beatles. (Well, maybe not...)

4 out of 5 stars Quality Vocal Jazz.......2002-08-23

This is really a good album to add to your collection if you're a fan of vocal jazz. The Real Group swings well, laying out on arrangements that really capitalize on the large vocal range the quartet commands. Personally, I think their non-jazz tunes on the album are a tad gimmicky, but the straight-ahead tunes more than make up for them.

Musically, the group is fairly impeccable (especially considering this is live). The soprano can be a little bit of an earful at times, but overall the the quartet balances fairly well (although I wish the bass was louder) and they swing very well together. It's great to hear fresh, new arrangements and beautiful phrasing/dynamics. The scatting leaves something to be desired, but the best scatters are always solo, not in vocal ensembles.

"There Will Never Be Another You" and "Night and Day" are two great standards on the album. I'd go as far as to say they're the best two tracks. The group also pulls off decent versions of Bill Evans' "Waltz for Debby" and Monk's "Round Midnight". For fans of the Basie Orchestra, they pull off a sweet version of Hefti's arrangement of "Lil' Darlin'", along with a less impressive "Splanky".

For fans of Manhattan Transfer, the Real Group is (a) not as over-produced, (b) not as tight, and (c) Live on this album, so be prepared for a slightly grittier and less smooth sound. On the whole, I'd say that's a blessing as I feel like Manhattan Transfer has pretty much stagnated over time. Still, no one can beat MT (except Lambert/Hendricks/Ross of course) at Vocalese... but this album by the Real Group is as damn good as it could be without Vocalese.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful! Couldn't possibly be better!.......2002-02-17

These musicians are as good as they come. I bought the CD a couple weeks ago and I listen to it at least once a day. I'm afraid I'll listen to it too much and get tired of it, but I can't help it. I keep listening to it and I haven't gotten tired yet.

More specifically, their arrangements are all very fresh and their dynamic contrast is as good as it gets. As close as I listen, I can't hear any mistakes. They are well arranged and rigorously rehearsed and it shows. This album is a treat. It's no wonder nobody yet (as of 2/16/02) has given any of their albums anything less than 5 stars.

You'll note that their arrangement of Night and Day is a full five minutes of swing. That's probably my favorite... at least today.

5 out of 5 stars Collectable Classic.......2000-06-22

This CD is a pleasure from first cut to last, particularly if you like jazz classics and a cappella singing of the first caliber. I particularly like the two Neal Hefti tunes, Splanky and Li'l Darlin, but they are all great to listen to again and again. This group is so tight, it is hard to believe it is a live performance.

5 out of 5 stars A brilliant quartet in a rare live recording.......2002-11-08

Few of the Manhattan Transfer's studio recordings have captured their magnetism as effectively as this terrific disc recorded live in Tokyo in 1983.

From the opening "Birdland," you can feel the energy and enthusiasm of the crowd. Almost every song here has been featured elsewhere, but not with the electricity here. Take "Jeannine," for example - one of their standards. Only here do we get the long, intricate improvisations that the singers added in live performances, totally trumping their studio version.

The early gospel-inflected hit "Operator" falls near the end of the program, and it's stunning - again with greater passion that makes the original track sound tame. Janis Siegel's voice is in soaring form, but all four musicians sound superb; either individually or together, they really know how to sing.

Deep thanks is due to Rhino for acquiring this treasure, and releasing it with their usual high production values. The Manhattan Transfer have produced some fine recordings, but I would never have imagined that such a vibrant document of their live performances existed. For fans of the group, or fans of fine jazz singing in general, it's an unexpected gift.
