5 out of 5 stars One of the Best.......2001-07-20

I own all of Rockapella's CDs, and this one is one of my top favorites. From NY is a feel-good album; I love to listen to it during my daily commute, singing and bopping along all the while! While Jeff Thacher's VP is missed (he wasn't with the group at the time this CD was recorded), the fifteen tracks are absolute gems, each standing out in its own way. Of Rockapella's import albums, and of their entire catalog, From NY is an absolute standout CD.

This is one of Rockapella's collections that best captures the joy of performance in the air at their concerts. If you're a Barry fan like I am, you'll back Hound Dog up over and over just to hear "bow wow wow ruff ruff ruff" a million times. If you're new to Rockapella, this CD, Vocobeat, and Primer are your must-haves. Just awesome!

5 out of 5 stars These guys are the best!!.......2000-07-22

From the opening vocal arrangement to the last note, enjoyment through and through. The arrangements are tops and the origanls are very catchy and makes you want to sing along (if ya can keep up with Scott and his high tenor voice!) Check the new version of "Hond Dog" toooo funny and again amaizing!! Buy this now!!! Get the rest later!!

5 out of 5 stars One Of The Best... If Not The Best.......2000-06-03

This is by far, my favorite album of their's so far ! It has a little of everything. You get wild and crazy with "LONG COOL WOMAN IN A BLACK DRESS" and "CRAZY 'BOUT AN AUTOMOBILE" but then slow down with "HEART OF GOLD" and "A CHANGE IN MY LIFE". Then you're gettin' sexy with "SIXTY MINUTE MAN" (One of my favorites), but mysterious with "WHY" and "BED OF NAILS". And of course... "ZOMBIE JAMBOREE"... A Classic Great !

I HIGHLY recommend this album to any A Cappella fan or to anyone just looking for Great Music ! --Ross

5 out of 5 stars Very upbeat !.......2000-05-28

Out of the three Rockapella CDs I play for my customers I get by far the most requests for this CD. It seems to put everyone who walks in in an instant "feel good" mood---even on a Monday. The selections are very upbeat, many of them great for dancing and great for rockin' out on your commute to work!
