Masterpiece (London)
Finally, 'Guilty' vents the anger...and determination of the American people in the wake of the 9-11-01 attack
Product Description
All the songs in the CD were written and recorded in Philadelphia between mid September and October 2001 in response to the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. In line with President Bush's call for 'assistance' from Hollywood, the CD uses music as a weapon against terror(in all its ramifications) and its most visible advocate, Osama Bin Laden. The Cd was recorded with the belief that if indeed music is a universal language, our rhythms, melodies and lyrics will come in quite handy and potent in the fight against terrorism. The Songs also celebrates the resilience , determination and the ultimate victory of the USA over all evils from within and outside its boundaries. All the songs except "Ijo Oge" are rendered in contemporary (American) English language. "Ijo Oge is rendered in Yoruba language to accentuate the universality of the tragedy that befell the world on 09/11/2001. The CD Cover shows Osama Bin Laden in shackles with the r! uins of the World Trade Center behind him. "GUILTY" is simply our own contribution to the ongoing mission to 'smoke' Osama, Taliban and their cohorts out of wherever they may be hiding.

Guilty may well be Barbra Streisand's best pop album. At the peak of her late-'70s popularity, she hooked up with the Bee Gees' Barry Gibb, who himself was basking in his Saturday Night Fever glow. Gibb wrote and produced most of the material on 1980's Guilty, and he supplied background vocals as well as co-leads on two tracks. The results are still completely bewitching. "Promises," for instance, is a lounge-like dance number and Babs sounds simply fabulous--sexy, lighthearted, passionate, playful--all at once. "Life Story" is a wild epic, and "Make It Like a Memory" keeps soaring up and up into a stratosphere of shag-carpeted luxury. Even Gibb's wavering vocals are great--and not a little like a disco version of Mandy Patinkin. And of course, the hits are out of this world: "Woman in Love" and "What Kind of Fool" are titanium-plated classics the likes of which Streisand has not topped since. A guilty pleasure, sure--just indulge. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Barbra at her best.......2007-06-17

Nice CD... I enjoy listening to it when I'm in the mood for it!
Barbra's First Great Album Of The 1980s.......2006-12-04
I have been a Barbra Streisand fan for many years now and about a year & a half of ago I finally bought one of Barbra Streisand greatest albums "Guilty". In the past before buying the album I had some of her Greatest Hits compilations with songs like "Guilty", "Woman In Love" and "What Kind Of Fool" on them, hearing them I knew that these were song classics. So a couple of weeks before "Guilty Pleasures" was released in stores, I came across this album, while looking for a Barbra Streisand album that at the time I might not have had. Well I bought the Dualdisc 25th Anniversay Edition, I put it on and fell in love with this album. Like always Barbra is great, always hitting high notes or doing long notes. The album features a mixture of the 1970's Disco and early 1980's music like on "Life Story". After the success of "The Bee Gees" in 1977-78, Barbra asked Barry to write a album for her. Even though the album is in "The Bee Gees" form with their type of music style, Barbra made it her own, since it's her album. It is her best-selling album to date with sales over 20 million copies. The song "Guilty" won Barbra & Barry a 1981 Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. The song "Woman In Love" became one of Barbra's most successful songs and stood a total of three weeks at the #1 position on the Billboard chart. Not to forget but the album went Platinum 5x over and was number one in the United States and in the United Kingdom. The whole album is very memorable and never will go out of date. It's a Masterpiece for Barbra fans and in music history.
Guilty.......2006-08-09
AS usual, Barbra is excellent! I have one concern. Some of her albums have the same songs on as on other albums.
Other than that, you can't beat her. I wish she would come back to recording again.

A few tracks into this highly anticipated Barbra Streisand release and the title starts to make sense. Guilty Pleasures is a 'Streisandian' spin on a melange of popular styles, including '50s doo-wop ("Come Tomorrow"), Motown ("It's Up to You"), disco ("Night of My Life"), Broadway ("Without Your Love"), and something vaguely waltz-like ("Stranger in a Strange Land"). If that sounds gimmicky and contrived, it isn't. The musical influences are more under Streisand's spell rather than the other way around. Then there's that voice: fire-and-brimstone bold one minute, cashmere soft the next, and fully undiminished overall. Much has been made of the politics surrounding "All the Children," but the protest-song-for-Muzak reputation preceding it comes without justification. The song makes its point (for peace) mildly and without undue controversy. The voice of Barry Gibb crops up more than just on the two duets he is credited with ("Above the Law" and "Come Tomorrow"), and where it is not being showcased, on "(Our Love) Don't Throw it All Away" for example, it sounds best. Of course the other inspiration behind this album's title is a nod to Guilty, the multiplatinum album Streisand and Gibb recorded in 1980 that captured the hearts of millions and spawned decades of requests for further collaborations. With Guilty Pleasures, Streisand has managed to avoid charges that she's past her peak, as evidenced on the gorgeous love song "Letting Go." --Tammy La Gorce

Customer Reviews:
What Kind of Fools..........2007-03-25
would revisit, twenty-five years later, the scene of one of their greatest musical moments? Well Barbra and Barry Gibb have seen fit to do just that. And I've waited a year and a half to write a review of this record, because I'm still listening to it!
With a completely different feel than "Guilty," Barbra and Barry have created her best studio album in a long time. They cover a wide variety of musical styles, and create some new classics in doing so. The duets "Come Tomorrow" and "Above the Law" stand beside the two they recorded for "Guilty." "Stranger in a Strange Land," "Hideaway," and "Night of My Life" are perfectly realized pop song, showtune, 70's disco all in the space of "Guilty Pleasures."
My favorite moment, though, is Barbra's beautiful cover of the Bee Gee's own "(Our Love) Don't Throw it All Away." It makes me wish for an entire record of Barbra singing the Bee Gee's! For now though, I'm more than satisfied with "Guilty Pleasures," each and every one of them.
The best Album from these two in years.......2007-01-22
I was so pleased with this CD that I now have two, one for my car and the other for my home. Its great that these two performers have got back together and I hope they will do another CD in the near future. One of the best songs on the CD is "come Tomorrow". All the others songs are great as well. Anyone who is a Barbara Striesand and Barry Gibb fan will truly appreciate this CD
Excellent album.......2007-01-03
An album of new lovely songs, with very good musicians and production, and Barbra Streisand's voice sounds great, as always.Highly recommended.
FANTASTIC, CD.......2006-11-10
I'ts absolutely great listening! The most enjoyable sound Trx I've
ever listened to! I listen to It all the time!
THanks, Steve Bergman
Please Stop.......2006-10-11
This has to be one of the worst productions in the history of music.
There comes a time when a person should really take a long, hard look to see if it is time to hang it up. For Babs, that time has come.
The good thing is that I have the answer to her introspective undertaking - STOP SINGING NOW!!

Customer Reviews:
Great album - just don't buy the DualDisc.......2007-01-25
This has always been one of my favorite Barbra albums. When I saw the 25th Anniversary edition, I grabbed it. Boy was that a mistake. Maybe it's just me but I absolutely HATE the way they've done the separation on the DVD side. I kept feeling like I needed to turn myself at an angle to hear things properly and even then it just didn't work for me.
In fact, this was one of the first DualDiscs I ever bought. It put me off buying DualDiscs for a LONG time.
I still love this album, but I'll stick to my old, single-sided CD of this one.
Great album.......2007-01-22
This was one of the best albums of its time, I still listen to it. I've always liked these two artists and when they collaberated on this album, it was my most played album in my Striesand collection

From my teenage years, my first copy was vinyl, I knew that eventually I would be adding this to my collection.
A wonderful all around album...oops..sorry cd.
Now if I could only find "Yentl" on dvd I could join the ranks of my other friends with at least two pieces of Ms Streisand !!!

I was hoping for more songs that I reconized but still like this duet cd

Randy Newman's three-decades-plus career proves at least one thing: an articulate, bespectacled fellow seated at a piano--a Southern Californian, no less!--can be damn dangerous. In a civil sort of way. This four-disc overview of Newman's fitful but ultimately brilliant career offers a portal into Newman the solo artist, the film composer, and the for-hire songwriter. Discs 1 and 2 (for old fans, the least rewarding of the lot) serve as a greatest hits package--greatest hits being a relative term ("Short People," "I Love L.A.," "Mama Told Me Not to Come," and a few others qualify as commercial successes). Newman's trademark style--mouthing the skewed views of twisted protagonists (including God and Satan)--surfaces in songs old and new. The guardian of an obese boy who puts his charge to work as a freak narrates "Davy the Fat Boy." "Let's Burn Down the Cornfield," "Suzanne," and "You Can Leave Your Hat On" explore perversion; "Rednecks" and "Sail Away" deal with bigotry; "Real Emotional Girl" and "I Want You to Hurt Like I Do" explore wanton cruelty. Disc 3 is littered with fascinating flotsam, beginning with 1962's bewilderingly boyish "Golden Gridiron Boy" (coproduced by Pat Boone!) and tailing into a slew of brooding but truly extraordinary solo demos. Despite his sardonic nature, the Newman of "Gainesville," "Feels Like Home," and "My Name Is James" summons true pathos. Disc 4 samples nine Newman soundtracks, including the orchestral scores to Ragtime, The Natural ("heromuzik," opines the composer), and Toy Story. Guilty is an appreciation of an artist who defies admiration. Here, however, the evidence is overwhelming. --Steven Stolder
Customer Reviews:
God! Is Randy Newman the most underrated artist of our times?.......2007-03-20
I have bought all the above Randy Newman CD's. I adore his work. Agree that "Guilty" is up there with Randy Newman songbook 1. But truly every song this wonderful man writes is a gem. Every single one. I have many friends who've never heard of him??? I have closer friends who love him as I do.
Folks do not cheat yrselves. Buy one album of the two above and write a review yourself. He's a genius, underappreciated for too long. Or go here him in concert. He's great, the best, my favorite and I love all kinds of music. RN is for that dessert island, the only one you are allowed to take. Think about it...
Randy in the Wintertime.......2007-01-04
I've been a Randy Newman fan "ever since there WUZ no Randy Newman," and so picture my delight when my very own kids bought me this boxed bonanza for Christmas (so I wouldn't have to). Randy Newman on the stereo on Christmas morning is about as Newmanesque a way to disturb the warmth of home and hearth as you can imagine. At one time or another I've owned every Newman album ever recorded, so I needed this collection like another hole in the head, but I have to recommend it as much for the surprisingly revealing biographical data as for the song selections. There are surprises here for even an old Newman trivialist like myself, and it was a relief to read of Randy's hardships as well as successes, since the dark side of this dark soul has too often been danced around in past articles and interviews. We learn that Randy's father, Irving Newman, MD, was an overbearing and cantankerous coot not above slugging it out with perfect strangers on public highways. We learn that the distracting eye condition Randy was born with, and the failed surgical attempt to correct it, may have helped to mold not only Newman's unique world view, but his discomfort with public attention. Interviewers (myself included) have generally conceded that "Randy Newman just can't look you in the eye," but then, why should he when he has such a gift for cutting straight to the heart with his nostalgic sentiments and shark-attack wit. Of the many selections in this package, my standouts are his 1962 demo Golden Gridiron Boy, a delight to hear at long last since throughout Newman's career it has appeared as nothing more than a musical history anecdote. Turns out it is a quite competent version of that idiotic pop sub-genre of the '50s and early '60s when unrequited love burned teenybopping hearts alive to the accompanyment of snickering female vocal backups. Then comes Jesus in the Summertime, the highly unlikely mock spirtual that has the distinction of having been so offensive to so many ears that a session musician actually walked out of the studio rather than play on it. Now THAT's chutzpah! Personally, I like it, and find nothing offensive about it, other than the fact that it has the name Jesus in the title. Finally, there's Laugh and Be Happy, an unfortunately incomplete demo that features Newman at his Tin-Pan-Alley best, with a catchy ragtime riff and a delightfully mocking lyric. This number is for my money one of the best tracks ever laid down by one of our most consistently rewarding, if challenging, singer-songwriters. Thanks for the memories, Randy!
Way to go Randy!.......2006-07-05
Well, first, Randy Newman is unbelievably talented. He is a song writer, a singer, and last but not least at all, a film composer. And what a composer! This multi talent has a family name, which can be a real pain in the ars. But Randy seems not to be bothered by it at all. He wrote some of the most beautiful scores of the 90-s. His music for Pleasantville should have won him an Oscar. But remember The Natural, Toy Story, Awakenings, just to name a few. This really nice compilation and anthology gives Newman the treatment he has long time deserved. I love the title: Guilty: 30 years of Randy Newman. This man does not seem to take himself serious. Yet his art is pretty serious, and he is aware of it very much. Randy Newman is there in the world of music, yet he is not there. You have to listen to this man to get to know him, and once you meet him, you do not want to part from him, he will be a friend of yours forever.
Randy Newman is right by the side of the greatest composers, Williams, Goldsmith, Bernstein or his late uncle Alfred Newman.
Buy this anthology and get to know this musical giant.
American Treasure.......2003-10-13
As compilations go, this one is INTERESTING, to say the least. Randy Newman (to me) has always been interesting, but now all of his many rare gems, obscurities and, of course, the hits are all here in one package, and I must've died and went to Heaven.
Randy is so much more than "Short People", "I Love LA" and "Mama Told Me Not To Come", though it's all here. And so are some of my personal favorites like "I Wish It Would Rain Today", "Sail Away", "Guilty", "You Can Leave Your Hat On", "Rider In The Rain", some stuff from his masterwork "Faust" etc etc on ad infinitum. But Randy's even more than that...
He's a True American Treasure. A brilliant and prolific melodist, lyricist, arranger, showman, witty humorist and all-around "composer" in the strictest sense of the word, Randy is the quintessential storyteller/satirist/musician of contemporary American Music, ranking up there with the likes of Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp and Tom Petty. No one can tug at your heartstrings one minute and have you scratching your head the next like Randy, and when he takes his teeth out and sits down at the piano, you know it's gonna be a good night.
Not everyone knows this, but everyone in the music business worldwide and us devotees, purists and appreciative audiophiles know it for sure, and here it is all in one set. THANK YOU RANDY, for putting it all together for us. A masterful job, great choice of material and stellar production, crisp, clean and to the point and beyond. We love you man, and keep the stuff coming!!
RN revisited.......2002-07-03
in our opinion, RN is the major pop (?) talent of the 20th century (2nd is Pink Floyd) This is a great varied selection of his stuff, but you really need to have everything...little criminal, faust, especially

Though Dave Alvin's reputation rests with his songwriting, the dynamism of this live recording puts the pedal to the metal and leaves the studio versions of much of this material in the dust. Highlights range from a nine-minute medley of Alvin's "Little Honey" and Bo Diddley's "Who Do You Love" to the honky-tonk country of "Highway 99" to the raucous celebration of "American Music" that has been Alvin's anthem since his days with the Blasters. Not since Creedence's John Fogerty has a roots rocker mined such a rich vein of Americana, though material such as "Haley's Comet," "Blue Boulevard," and "Wanda and Duane" find Alvin's hard-bitten lyricism growing increasingly dark as it matures. While his half-spoken, half-sung vocals lack the nuance of the best of his songwriting, a killer band featuring drummer Bobby Lloyd Hicks and keyboardist Joe Terry provides propulsive support for his stinging guitar. --Don McLeese
Album Description
Dave Alvin, winner of a 2001 Grammy for his release from the same year Public Domain, continues his exploration of what he calls 'electric and acoustic folk music' with this live album Out In California. 13 tracks. Digipak. 2002.
Customer Reviews:
A wonderful performance.......2007-06-15
Alvin's voice isn't for everyone, but his songwriting and guitar playing are some of the best around. This is a record with a wonderful sound and a great overall feel. The highlight for me is "Abilene," but there seem to be plenty of other opinions. That is the sign of a excellent record.
Fine electric and acoustic live performances.......2002-07-26
As a full-time road warrior, it's no surprise that Alvin's confluence of music, philosophy and work ethic is captured so vividly on these live recordings. Steeped in rock, blues, folk, and country, Alvin's decidedly non-Hollywood California viewpoint is born from the grit of a working man's life, and fueled by the endless miles in between countless road gigs.
These thirteen titles are drawn from Alvin's earliest work with the Blasters and X, solo albums (including a generous helping from his 1991 debut), recent public domain recordings, and a newly penned saga, "Highway 99." Highlights include "Blue Boulevard," Alvin's riveting homage to an influential, music-loving cousin, and a smokin' piano and guitar-driven cover of Bo Diddley's "Who Do You Love." An acoustic cover of Bo Carter's "All 'Round Man" and an electric stab at Little Walter's "Everything's Gonna Be Alright" show off two sides of Alvin's blues. Grace notes invoke Link Wray, Bruce Channel, and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Whether fronting the Guilty Men in electric club performances, or a smaller acoustic group at a Pasadena church, Alvin puts across his lyrics with incredible conviction. The spontaneity of live performance reveals additional details of his songs, as if their studio incarnations were drawn as maps to the road ahead.
+ 1/2 Stars...Alvin Is a First-Rate Songwriter.......2002-07-02
Dave Alvin has released only two studio albums since his last live album (1996's equally enjoyable Interstate City), but Alvin said in a local newspaper interview before an Omaha appearance that his favorite thing to do is to play before a live audience. "There are things that happen when we play live--intense musical things that are just about impossible to capture in the studio for whatever reason."
This live album is full of raw energy and touches all the bases of Alvin's career to date. There are songs from his days with The Blasters ("Little Honey," "American Music"), X ("Fourth of July"), and his solo career through 2000's Grammy-winning Public Domain (a seven-minute version of "Don't Let Your Deal Go Down"). Alvin performs four songs from 1991's Blue Blvd: "Andersonville," "Blue Boulevard," "Wanda and Duane" and "Haley's Comet," the latter a touching portrait of fleeting fame. The title refers to Bill Haley, but the song's theme is universal. Alvin's world-weary voice is perfectly suited to these songs and the Guilty Men provide excellent support, including his long-time rhythm section of bassist Gregory Boaz and drummer Bobby Lloyd Hicks who have been with Alvin since his last live album. [Note: "Out In California" is the only track repeated between the two live albums.]
Alvin rounds out the album with some rock chestnuts (Bo Diddley's "Who Do You Love") and obscure R&B (the slighlty racy "All 'Round Man"). An unlisted bonus track is an abbreviated version of "Free Bird," which some joker requests but Alvin takes up as a challenge ("You think we don't know it?" he asks. "You think we can't play it?")--it's a fitting ending to a magical set. This is 76 minutes of American music.
As other reviewers have said, if talent were the only barometer by which musical greatness were measured Dave Alvin would be among the elite. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
why isn't this guy a star?.......2002-05-28
in a just universe, we'd already be a little tired of dave alvin and the guilty men: the stadium shows, the pepsi commercials, the halftime gigs at the nba finals... but it's not a just universe, and dave and the lads are playing bars and clubs like the venues at which this live set was taped. the music is a gumbo of rockabilly, r & b, country and folk. the band kicks back for a fiddle-flavored "abilene," but it also channels chuck berry as it tears through "american music." this release is rowdier than "interstate city," alvin's previous live album, and the arrangements are busier, but it's all good.
Dave Alvin & The Guilty Men: A True Working Band.......2002-05-25
My first thoughts on the opening notes of this CD were, "Only the most confident musicians would open a show with the sound of tuning instruments"! "How can they get away with that"? "Are they really that good"? THEY ARE! The songs found here aren't about California dreaming. This isn't Hotel California! It is a culmination of many things found on the road in California, as the dream fades and reality sets in. Hot asphalt, cold beer, little diners, love, loss, dysfunctional relationships, and hope. Not one song on this CD was cleverly thought up by a song writer staring out the window of a luxury tour bus. Dave drives his own van. He lived them before he wrote them. The title track will lift you right off your feet with smokin guitar, and lyrics that compare California mountains to a woman lying naked on a bed. Haley's Comet is also a rocker, but a sad story all the same. The idea that an original American Rock n Roll hero could be forgotten to the point he's not even recognizable. Little Honey is a classic Blasters tune reformatted with guitar licks that will make the listener hang on every note; Mr. Thorogood included. Abilene is the story of too many girls who run away to California, only to end up alone in Hollywood. Don't let your deal go down offers a glimpse into one of the tougher drinking establishments several hundred years ago. Highway 99 is the type of straight ahead country that used to come out of Bakersfield, and actually get played. This is a great song, but it does sound an awful lot like Out in California. With the exception of All around Man, which is a fun loving blues romp full of sexual inuendo, the songs are very much grounded in the hard realities of life. Who would have thought that long after The Beach Boys sang Surfin USA, Some guy from Downey would come along and write a song about a couple fighting in a dark apartment on the Fourth of July? The show begins to wind down with the classic Blaster's tune, American Music. This song not only rocks, but it is also another solid reminder of why the USA is the greatest country on Earth. The last highlight to note falls midway through the final track, when some guy much like myself, shouts out, "Free Bird"! Leonard Skynard is then graciously played by the fabulous Guilty Men! Dave Alvin is a true gentleman, and an American Song writing treasure. Buy it!

One of my favorites of the last decade.......2004-06-30
I've been listening to this album for 10 years now and I never get tired of it. For me, this is John Hiatt at the peak of his songwriting skills, and those skills are first rate. Not all of the songs are deep, but they all have melodies and phrases that stick. The sound here has that emotional feel you only get from live performances. Sure there's a bad guitar note here and there, but I don't mind one bit. The mix is fabulous, raw and better than some of the mixes on the studio CDs. As a performing musician, I've learned a lot about playing live from this album. My favorite John Hiatt album and that's saying a lot.
Bring Back Michael Ward on Lead Guitar....PLEASE.......2004-02-09
How many times do you ask yourself..."why did they change a perfect lineup?".
Michael Ward was the PERFECT lead guitar compliment to John Hiatt's tasty rhythm playing. Hiatt classics like; "Real Fine Love", "Drive South", "Paper Thin", and "Slow Turning" have never sounded better before or since. Perfectly Good Guitar with the exception of Crossing Muddy Waters was his last great album.
Sunny Landreth's... slide every song to death lead approach... sounds extremely tired in comparison to Ward's, massive, raw, viceral, unique lead playing. I assume it was Ward who chose to move on for a spot with the; big selling, big stage, hugely boring Jacob Dylan band. Either way Ward belongs back with Hiatt ...please! Seeing Ward play with Hiatt in Chicago at Taste of Chicago in 93'after Sunny Landreth's boring opening show was telling.
Oh Yea... Live at Budakon...an awesome live album packed with some of the best songs ever written. If you count Neil Young as one of your favorite rock guitarist you'll love Michael Wards guitar on this album. 6 Stars IMO
The Best Of John Hiatt Live! Great band as well!.......2003-11-22
John is at his best in this CD recorded at concerts around the United States (not Tokyo). John strays a bit here from traditional down home country driven songs and adds loud electric guitar and extremely emotional vocals. The result...a perfect CD for the guitar lover and for someone who wants to know how to write songs. John is best known for writing songs with which other artists have major hits. His backup band here, "The Guilty Dogs," has a lot of volume and sounds very good! The best selection of John's songs on any CD he has out. You will not be dissapointed with this CD. I have only a handful of CDs which I feel are worthy of this 5 star rating.
Tremendous.......2003-08-11
This is a great album, both for longtime Hiatt fans and those looking to get an introduction to his music. It has a nice mix of rockers like Memphis in the Meantime and Slow Turning as well as more soulful tunes like Have a Little Faith in Me. I bought this albumn many years ago and still pull it out regularly -- both at home and for driving. Just a great disk.
"Budokan"! he!he!.......2003-07-30
The title is a joke, obviously...it seemed at one time like everybody had to go to the Budokan Arena in Tokyo in order to record a live abum, but these tracks were recorded at various American venues during John Hiatt's 1994 tour in support of "Perfectly Good Guitar".
If you are familiar with John Hiatt you'll know pretty much what to expect. Muscular, well-written roots-rock and clever lyrics.
The sound is good, and the musicians are, too, and if you are new to the music Mr Hiatt, this album provides a pretty good sample of his work.
Among the highlights are a tough "Real Fine Love" with some superb rhythm guitar playing, the sublime ballads "Angel Eyes" and "Icy Blue Heart", the Stonesy rocker "Paper Thin", the ironic epos "Perfectly Good Guitar", and the classic "Slow Turning". But there are really no weak tracks here.
Several of the songs ("Memphis In The Meantime", "Real Fine Love", "Your Dad Did" etc.) are given a somewhat rougher treatment than the original studio versions or various cover versions, mainly due to the arrangements (no banjo or mandolins here, just two guitars, a bass guitar and a set of drums, and Hiatt occationally at the piano).
The mixing is very good, with both guitars in particular clearly audible. Hiatt had a great sideman in lead guitarist Michael Ward, and the two complement each other very well, playing some really juicy rhythm n' blues. Ward, especially, is responsible for some excellent solos and fills.
The rhythm section of drummer Michael Urbano and the versatile Davey Faragher on bass also works very well, and "Hiatt Comes Alive At Budokan(?!)" is a very enjoyable live album from a great professional.

As you must know by now, Shaq is the "The King Of The World Blues Reviewer", so when I bought this CD I was hoping to get da blues baby! This CD did not fulfill, my blues requirements, but was a good purchase nonetheless. I would definitely put this in the pop-rock category rather than the blues. It has some good toe tapping songs, and if you listen carefully there are some clever lyrics in a number of songs. One of my favorites is "Whole Lotta Soul". Here it is six years later, and I still think of the lyrics of this song, when I see a beautiful girl walk by in the airport, or in the park... "When she walks through the park, the birds stop singing, just to watch her walk by".. "As she passes the playground, the boys stop swinging, and they're too young, to even know why!".. "She don't need no painting up, she's a natural born, work of art!" IN SUMMARY: Though only a few songs, have a true "blues" feeling, Shaq still recommends, a purchase, and I know you'll enjoy it.
Another Good One.......2006-11-29
Tommy leaves the Blind Pig label in favor of 33rd Street Records for this one. The album contains the last recorded appearance of blues legend John Lee Hooker who appears on the title track "Guilty Of Love". Unfortunately he doesn't do much more than mumble a few words over Castro's recording. After many listens I have grown used to it, but when I first heard it I thought it was pretty bad. Most of the songs on this album are Castro originals with the exception of the old Al Green tune "Ain't No Fun To Me". Overall this is a good Castro album with highlights including" Blinded By The Face Of Love", "Shakin The Hard Times Loose", "I Ain't Gonna Make That Call", and the down and dirty "Dirt Road Blues". This is not the best Tommy Castro album, but it is another solid effort.

A rockin good time CD.......2001-10-31
I have heard of Tommy Castro but this is the first CD I have brought from him. I have to say that I really enjoy this CD. There are some good rockin blues-rock songs such as " If You Ain't Lovin, You Ain't Livin", "Blinded In The Face Of Love". We also get some good down and dirty blues as " Dirt Road Blues". John Lee Hooker makes a small final appeance on "Guilty Of Love" even though I think his part was to short and could have been more instrumental to the body of the song. That aside, this is a great CD for fans of blues and of rock alike

Subtle and Artistic.......2006-11-25
Chris Cheek's "Guilty" has gradually become one of my most cherished albums. As a saxophonist and pupil of jazz music I appreciate honesty and integrity in music, two ideals which this work of art delivers. Cheek's improvisations and interpretations of melodies throughout this live (at the Village Vanguard) peformance are subtle and unflinchingly focused & intense. Ethan Iverson of the Bad Plus offers angular and impressionistic accompaniment that fits perfectly with the groups asthetic. Jorge Rossy (drums) and Ben Street (bass) offer a textural palette that can vary from the starkest musical landscapes to the rock-steadiest of swing feels (especially on Conception). Anyone who is a fan of Mark Turner and Kurt Rosenwinkel's music will surely appreciate the sustained intensity, palpable honesty, and telepathy of Cheek's group. I don't usually write reviews because I beleive good music speaks for itself, however as I see no one has reviewed this killer album yet, I feel that others deserve to know what a triumph it is.

This boxed set is by far one of the best purchases I have ever made. As a Purcell freak, this hits every button I have. The cast of characters include the inequitable Robert King, New College Choir, Bowman, and a host of other venerable persons. Likewise the attention to period performance of these works makes it an essential addition to the library of any serious anglophile/Musicologist etc. Now if only the Britten Realizations of all Purcell's songs could be recorded alongside the originals! You will Love this set!
