One of America's great songwriters.......2001-03-09

Amid the Cole Porters, Irving Berlins and George Gershwins of the world, Harold Arlen tends to be forgotten. And yet, when the greatest song of the 20th century was recently voted on by a distinguished panel of critics, whose song came out on top? Mr. Arlen's (Over the Rainbow). Here is a superb cross section of Harold Arlen songs by a cast ranging from Judy Garland to Bing Crosby to Ethel Waters, spanning decades and spanning a wide range of styles, from jazz to ballads, poignant to funny. Although the sound is not ideal, as many of the recordings date from the 30's and Pearl's objective in remastering has always been to achieve the fullest musical sound rather than to reduce surface noise, this is a minor complaint given the rich and mind-opening selection of great music found here.

Somewhere down the Road is great!.......2002-10-31

We really love this album. Every song is very well done, and thoroughly enjoyable. I haven't heard a lot of other music by this performer, but I like what I've heard. The lyrics are interesting, and they don't all just sound alike. There are a couple of "retro" songs, which he truly does justice to, and some original pieces. Really a pleasure to listen to.

A Talented Singer/Songwriter/Musician Worth Discovering.......2001-08-21

A while back, Corona Beer had a commercial series that featured new artists. James Intveld and this album was among the music that found its way on to the commercials.

In case you aren't familiar with Jimmy, he has written songs for Rosie Flores and has appeared as a backing musician for Dave Alvin on King of California and also played guitar in one incarnation of the Blasters a few years ago. He also heads a swing band and has a number of acting credits including an appearance on the HBO movie 61*.

This album features his singing and songwriting talent and it is truly special. He has a crooner's voice that can make women swoon and make it hard for men to not sing along. The music can be considered alt-country or as rock. It won't rattle the windows but it also won't make it to most country music stations either.

It should make it into your CD collection because the songs are memorable with great melodies and instrumental backing. You will especially like this CD if you are a fan of the Derailers, BR-549, Dwight Yoakam or even Buck Owens.

A Road Well Traveled.......2000-08-31

James Intveld's latest offering, "Somewhere Down The Road" is a well-recorded collection of songs sure to make any rockabilly or county music fan overjoyed.

I got my first taste of James' music watching the Johnny Depp movie, "Cry Baby," (James sang the hard rocking stuff).

James rocks, pure and simple. From the gospel flavored "All The Way From Memphis," to the swinging "Stop The World," There's enough energy to power a small city. Simple and clean, that the best way to describe these songs. As good as if you're sitting in a dark nightclub watching him play.

The ballads, "Living Without You," and "Love Calls" are as good as anything on the radio today, or at any time. And it's a mystery to me why James hasn't broken through and become the mega star that he should be, but I'm sure that's ok to the people who follow him, you know, I'm sure they feel he still belongs to them.

Best of Shearing AND Kings Singers.......2002-05-26

This is a fantastic recording. There are interesting arrangements from some of the best popular music arrangers, including Richard Rodney Bennett, Paul Hart and Daryl Runswick, not to mention Shearing's great new 5/4 version of his best-loved song Lullaby of Birdland, which begins with a jazz version of Brahms' Lullaby.

The Kings Singers are in fine form, with their flawless intonation and meticulous attention to creating a great sound.

Each track features just the sextet, Shearing and a double bass (played by Neil Swainson), except for One For My Baby, which adds John Harle on saxophone. That track is one of the three terrific Daryl Runswick arrangements included on the album.

Other stand-outs are:

The-Half-of-It-Dearie Blues, which sounds very similar to their much earlier version of it, i.e. sensitive and sensuous.
Gershwin's The Real American Folk Song (is a rag)
Daryl Runswick's interpretations of I Got Rhythm and Anyplace I Hang My Hat
Over the Rainbow

Tracks:

Somewhere Down The Road
Shot Full Of Love
One More Night
Same Old Blues

Customer Reviews:

Excellent album from under-appreciated singer.......2003-08-12

Cybill is famous as an actress, but it is her music that interests me. She has a lovely voice and uses it to good effect on this collection of songs. The style of the music is hard to define precisely, but I would describe it as mellow pop with some jazz influences.

The tasteful but restrained musical backing allows you to hear Cybill sing a wonderful selection of ballads and mid-tempo songs. The set begins with Peabo Bryson joining Cybill on the title track - the only duet here. The remaining songs are all solo tracks.

The song that stands out initially is Push for you - it is the catchiest song here - but great though it is, there are many excellent songs here, none of which I recognized .I was already familiar with another song titled Shot full of love (recorded by Jennifer Warnes and several others), but Cybill's Shot full of love is completely different and equally brilliant.

There are so many brilliant songs here. Never mind what Cybill can do as an actress, this album and the equally brilliant Talk Memphis to me (which I've already reviewed) shows that she can also sing.

A lively, lovely surprise.......2001-05-20
