Recorded during their controversial 2003 tour, these two discs romp through an ample sampling of hits ("Wide Open Spaces," "There's Your Trouble," "Goodbye Earl," "Travelin' Soldier") as well as beloved album cuts ("Hello Mr. Heartache," "Some Days You Gotta Dance"). Twangy and cheeky all the way, the group rides an energy wave that continues through the stunning two-song encore of "Top of the World" and "Sin Wagon." Yet as powerful as the full-band performances are, the trio's true essence emerges during the acoustic moments--"White Trash Wedding," "Ready to Run," and "Lil' Jack Slade" among them--as well as the Texas shuffler "Hello Mr. Heartache." Some acts might have tried to gloss over a flap like the one Natalie Maines's anti-Bush administration remarks caused. Not here. Patty Griffin's "Truth No. 2" (from the Chicks' Home album) faces that issue head-on. But beyond the political tempests--and Music Row's still-bruised feelings over their contractual firefights with their label--this collection affirms one truth: the Chicks remain the best hope of bringing country into the 21st century with postmodern vitality and its traditions intact. --Rich Kienzle

Top of the world ~ views from all sides.......2007-04-14

Regardless if you love or hate what natalie had to say about Bush. Your can never say these ladies dont have guts and the sure will to not ever play nice. Natalie and the dixie chicks may never play nice. Strong will's in country music dont come around much. The music on this audio cd is strong, full or spite, to the point and in your face. Why hide the fact you live in a free country. Where as of today, Bush still hasnt taken away our right to free speech. The songs are all chart burners and a wonderful full range of musically talented songs.

Chicks On Top of the World.......2007-04-11

I'm new to the Dixie Chicks, but they have become one of my top artists. First I got "Long Way Home" and like it so well that I rented the Top of the World tour video. Then I had to have the CD. This is a great CD.

Try it, you'll like it.

Anti- Americans.......2007-04-05

Don't Buy they are anti american and do not support our troops who give them the freedom of living in the USA

THEY SURE CAN SING BUT CAN THEY REALLY PLAY?.......2007-03-23

This is my first Dixie Chicks purchase. Just wanted to check them out. I've only seen random clips on television. They choose decent tunes to play. Although I'm a little confused as to their purpose. The instruments they play - guitar, fiddle, and banjo - that's Old Time string band instruments; many Old Time Music and bluegrass bands have the exact same instrumentation. However, the Chicks don't play any traditional tunes. They are more of a straight ahead Nashville Pop/Country singing group. Yes, they hold and play their instruments, and I'm sure they're good players, but you can't really tell by this recording - I couldn't hear much of the banjo, and the fiddler is pretty good. I guess the only way to tell is if they ever got bold enough to make a recording with just them playing and singing.
Their tour had an army of additional musicians in support.
They sure can sing, though. The harmonies are unbelievably good.
If you are interested in a really good all female group who are excellent musicians and singers who sing a mix of traditional tunes and original tunes, check out UNCLE EARL. Their newest release is produced by former Led Zep bassist John Paul Jones, who has developed a fascination with traditional American music, even going as far as learning how to play the fiddle. Uncle Earl's latest is titled Waterloo Tennessee and is available right here on Amazon.

Live and let LIVE.......2007-02-16

The best gauge to hear a performer or a group is live in concert (or a cd of the concert( Think KISS live or KISS UNPLUGGED are great examples of how good live is). A friend gave me a copy of this Dixie Chicks CD as an early birthday gift, after they won the Grammies.

This 2002 concert is a great showcase for the Chicks. Listening to them on this CD, I feel like I am in the middle of the concert in the best seats in the house.

The production quality is great. The chicks are in fine form and this CD concert is a proof that the grammies wins are no fluke.

I want more of their CDS now

For those who want the most remembered passages of classical music's best-loved works, here's a package for you. On this bargain priced double-CD, you'll find music from 40 different classical composers; for the most part, the recordings excerpted here are some of the very best. Of course, you only get one Bach sampling (Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, played by the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra) and one Mozart (A Little Night Music conducted by Herbert von Karajan), but this is still a nice collection--perhaps the starting point for a budding collection of classical music. This set's downfall? Unfortunately, though the liner notes discuss the evolution of classical music chronologically, the tracks are programmed in alphabetical order by composer's last name. This makes for some startling transitions! Emil Gilels's reflective performance of the Adagio from Beethoven's "Moonlight" sonata is followed by the crashing cymbals and bombast of Carmen's "March of the Toreadors," a recipe for a heart attack if there ever was one. Still, there's something here for everyone and the liner notes even explain what movies this music can be found in. A nice touch. --Jason Verlinde

Customer Reviews:

Waste of money.......2006-01-12

Watch out for the volume leveling mentioned in another review. Surely the compliers could have come up with a better sort order than by composer. The change in tempo/volume between pieces makes it impossible to enjoy. My two CD's ended up in the trash.

Great Music Compilation.......2005-08-15

This is a great CD full of many songs that you will recognize and enjoy. If you are someone who likes classical music but doesn't necessarily know which songs or which composers you like, then this CD is for you. You will likely recognize many of the songs as the classical songs you would have picked out to be your favorites.

If you like classical music don't buy this CD........2005-03-11

Most of the tracks were chopped down to 3-4 minutes so some of the best parts of the compositions are missing. I don't know what I was thinking trying to buy 40 classical songs on two CD's. If you really want to enjoy the music you would do better to purchase a CD with fewer, but better quality tracks.

A must for anyone wanting the staples of classical music.......2005-02-23

In my years of experience teaching Fine Arts to high school students, I know that the majority, if not all, of the music included on this album is commonly used in collge music appreciation courses. This is an excellent sample of truly all the "greatest hits" of classical music. My students enjoy listening to the music and have later told me when take their required music apreciation courses in college that they "already know it all" because of this CD! The recordings are clear, the selections are passionate, and the listener will gain a familiarity with all of the most commonly heard classical music used in tv commercials, movies, etc.
I recommend this album, along with the boxed set, "Age of the Classics" for anyone who is interested in becoming familiar with the most famous staples of classical music.

A great compilation.......2005-02-09

This cd somes up some of the greatest pieces of instrumental (and is some cases choral) music ever written. It is a great starter for a beginning classical music lover or a quick and easy all-in-one for those of us who study classical music for a living. I highly recommend this cd to anyone who wants to love or already does love classical music.

Nice collection, but..........2002-09-21

This collection of exciting arrangements wonderfully executed by professional players is unfortunately marred by old technology and carelessness. The short, twenty nine minute CD seems to be copied from an LP. The pops, clicks, distortion and glitches are all there. At one point you can even hear the annoying pitch wow commonly heard on LPs pressed out of round. The tone arm is obviously being dragged right and then left as the off center groove dictates the key.

Should Legacy International ever locate the master tapes and produce a cleaner version of "Circus Music from the Big Top," I will be first in line to buy. Frankly, Merle Evans deserves better--much better.

If you are adding to a collection of circus music, you do need these arrangements. However, if you are just beginning a circus music library, your first purchase should be "Screamers" from Frederick Fennell. It delivers over an hour of expertly performed circus marches recorded with precision.

Fabulous for any Broadway-lover.......2007-01-30

Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.

Top Shelf.......2007-01-04

This is THE definitive collection of Broadway hits. I have other collections, and none of them measure up. A great deal of care was obviously taken in compiling and presenting this box set. It covers a lot of ground, starting with some long-forgotten but still very enjoyable hits from the days of yore, and finishing with present-day favorites. To the best of my knowledge, the recordings are by those who made them famous. You won't be disappointed.

TERRIFIC CD'S.......2006-03-23

THESE BROADWAY MUSICALS CD'S ARE A BROADWAY LOVERS DREAM. WITH EACH SONG, MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK. BOTH THE FAMILIAR AND THE FORGOTTEN SONGS ARE A TRUE LISTENING PLEASURE. IF YOU LIKE BROADWAY, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET.

Great Collection of Broadways greatest Songs .......2005-06-14

This Collection was perfectly made it has almost all the most famous Broadway songs on this 5 cd set. The Music is great and has Broadways greatest treasures like "Memory""People""With One Look""Give my regards Too Broadway" just to name a few of this numerous cd set with over 100 songs. This is a great buy if you like musicals or The music of Broadway

Great Compilation!.......2005-01-17

If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

not to great.......2007-04-04

We were disappointed with this CD, but for the price I guess we can't expect much. I didn't care for the new style presentation of the songs. I like a more traditional rendering.

Not so bad, 100 tunes for 4$.......2005-06-22

I red the comments of two other people who have bought this 4 CD BOX SET and it is not really so bad. I will even add that there are some excellent tunes. However, I must agree with the fact that few tunes seem to have been recorded 40 or 50 years ago, mainly when you hear the scratches of an old turntable but it is just 2 or 3 tunes. Furthermore, if you do not know American music, it is a good BOX SET to buy if you consider that you received 4 CD for 4$ including 100 tunes. On these 4 CD, I have heard some orchestration that I have never heard before and I consider that they are different but interesting. Any way, after hearing these 100 tunes, you will say to yourself that you like this tune, this other tune, this other tune and so on and you will be able to buy a more expensive CD with the tunes that you like. However, I have bought many CDs in the last few weeks and as you know, there are always some tunes that you like and some tunes that you do not like on every CD that you will buy. So, don't buy it at 25$ but at 4 or 5$ dollars, it is a very good choice for 100 tunes.

You get what you pay for........2004-07-04

You get what you pay for. The singers put their own spin on the singing of each song. If you didn't hear the words you would not recognize some of them. Even some of the music sounds like a bad recording of music played on a turntable. Definitely not worth the price.

Now I know why there were no song samples to listen to ..........2004-07-04

I wish this review had been here when I was thinking of purchasing it. I guess you get what you pay for. If you are thinking of buying this, you are better off recording your own CDs (or at least buying one that you can listen to a sampling of the songs). This album includes songs that were mere recordings of the songs playing on an old record player. It's almost so unbelievable that it is funny.

Chant to Travel.......2007-03-09

I first heard this CD when my friend Wendy brought it during a visit to Oregon. We chanted the whole way to the Bonneville Spa and Hotsprings. I liked it so much I borrowed it for a week and finally got my own. Ragani has the most lovely voice and the instrumentals are fulland luscious.
Thank you Ragani!

Best of Both Worlds truly is a fine blend of traditional Indian chants and modern recording .......2006-06-25

What immediately strikes me about this recording is Ragani's sincere devotion to her guru and to the divine. This is evidenced in the opening mantra, the Akhanda Prayer, a beautiful prayer to the Guru. Though I am not a musician, each chant on this CD seems to me to be well recorded and more importantly these chants are infused with Ragani's sincerity as a bhakta. I feel as though I am listening to a seasoned yogini when I listen to this fine collection of chants.
Especially appealing to me about these chants is the shift from a slow repetition of the Name to an accelerated and ecstatic repetition. The gradual acceleration has the effect of locking my mind's attention onto the mantra so that by the time the chant ends, my mind is subdued and I experience the peace brought about by the chant. In other words, when the chant is moving very quickly, there is less room for thoughts (other than the Name) to creep in. By the time the chant speeds up the Name takes hold and my mind begins to settle down. My particular favorites are Sita Ram and Shiva Hara. Whereas Sita Ram is intense, by contrast Shiva Hara is light and uplifting. In addition, the chants on this CD are all in call in response style which makes participation in the chants very easy.

Amazingly beautiful. Nice change of pace from other kirtan .......2005-02-01

I thought no other kirtan style music could even compare to Krishna Das (whom I love dearly), but Ragani's voice is so beautiful. This CD is enchanting so much so that I cannot seem to tire of listening.

GREAT CD!!!.......2005-01-10

Great CD!!! I play it everyday commute to work. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for Kirtan music.

Exquisitely Beautiful.......2004-11-28

This is one of the best New Age/Kirtan CDs of recent years. The final track, "Rama Rama" is one of the most achingly beautiful songs I've ever heard. It's as if you're listening to Sita, the legendary heroine of the epic Ramayana, actually calling for her husband Rama, who's half a world away. Ragani is one of the most inspired artists in the new genre of Western kirtan music. I play this CD often.

"El stinko," writes one Amazon.com customer, but to be fair to Rimes, her second album since the surprising debut Blue is more misguided than merely bad. She bites off more than she can chew, and producer Wilbur Rimes (LeAnn's father) tries to force-feed warmed-over Adult Contemporary arrangements and overheated pop fare ("Purple Rain" may be the silliest cover in "country" history), the kind neither Rimes nor the listener can easily swallow. Sittin' on Top of the World may be an advance from the truculent You Light Up My Life, but Rimes's talents are being squelched by the superstar machine. Still, with the right production and right songs, Rimes may yet make a consistently strong country album. --Roy Kasten

Stay At The Top, And I Am Come Running...........2007-01-12

This Is JustGrat I Feel Like Beeing On That Top With You,,, Thanks

Excellent Album........2006-06-10

This is an excellent collection of a pop and country songs that just put you in a good mood. LeAnn Rimes voice is so clear and powerful that it will just blow you away. This album captures such an innocent sound and Leann sounds just like a sweet country girl. The tracks "Rock Me" and "Undeniable" are the albums strongest songs and LeAnn does an amazing performance of Prince's "Purple Rain". My opinion is that this is LeAnn Rimes strongest album and is a must for any fan of hers.

Nothin' New Under the Moon?.......2006-04-06

Well, you could say that this album belongs to LeAnn Rimes' best ones. There's a couple of hits: "Looking Through Your Eyes" (from the "Quest for Camelot" Motion Picture) and "Commitment". Then there's "Undeniable", it's a great song. After that the songs are so good, well LeAnn has a great voice, so that's one reason. Surely I could pick "These Arms of Mine", "Nothin' New Under the Moon", "Rock Me" and "Sittin' on Top of the World" but the truth is that this album is a great one but not her best work The last song "Purple Rain" which was originallyt made by Prince is one of the greatest moments in this album. You could say that quantity doesn't replace quality but this album has many great songs.
Stars: Commitment, Nothin' New Under the Moon, Looking Through Your Eyes, Sittin' on Top of the World

LeAnn's Best Album.......2005-07-03

I have 4 of Leann Rimes's albums(Blue,LeAnn Rimes,Unchained Melody & Sittin' on Top of The World).I can definitely say that this is by far her best album as it has a perfect balance of country & pop tunes.& her voice easily beats the likes of Celine and Mariah.This album should have at least been Grammy nominated but oh well.Finally,this is one album youcan NEVER get bored of.

Loved it.......2005-04-22

This CD has a nice mix of combination of romantic and upbeat music. Have been listening to it everyday for past month and haven't gotten tired of it. "More than anyone deserves" is so sweet and the words to "Commitment" is so true.
I love her tone pitch in "Purple Rain"...her voice is amazing.

Cafe De Luna 2 is a Musical Summer Vacation !.......2004-10-27

The second in the Cafe De Luna series, Cafe De Luna 2: Mediterannean Chill is like a musical Summer vaction to Ibiza. This is a very cool set of pure downtempo chill-out grooves with a distinctly European flavor. This music is perfect for relaxing to while upbeat enough to keep the listener engaged. I have found this to be the perfect music for setting just the right mood at dinner parties with friends or driving along your favorite stretch of coast road on a warm summer day, or just popping on when you need a reminder that there are those unforgettable summer days that seem to drift on for an eternity. I highly recomend both this CD and it's predecessor.

Tight G-Funk Melodies from Memphis Playas.......2006-04-28

EightBall & MJG came out with a certified banger in 1995 with On Top Of The World. These southerners bring the heat with nice pimpin' flows over smooth bass-heavy beats. Some of the beats approach a west coast, even better, a Bay area feel to them such as in "Top Of The World" with a vocoder in the hook. The beats throughout the album are fun and perfect to ride to. "Pimp In my Own Rhyme" is a little harder showing how they are on top of the pimp game and are in charge. "What Do You See" is a funky, melodic track, a perfect hood anthem. E-40 and Mac Mall appear in the track "Friend Or Foe," so you know that this south and west connection is comin' tight with each's unique flows. I love the beat in "For Real;" with whiny synths and a funky guitar riff, an immaculate combo in G-Funk. The dynamic duo talk about keepin' it real and shakin' the fakin' in the rap game and in life. This album will satisfy any west coast and southern rap fan. Really, any rap fan will find enjoyment in On Top Of The World.

8Ball & MJG's Dope Underground Album!.......2005-12-30

Memphis, TN's finest MC's 8Ball & MJG come hard on this 199Nickel track, I wish more southern hip hop artists were like these poetic spaceage pimps, who have this rapping sh*t down. They need to be more media oriented I think people will start to pay more attention to them. Pimp In My Own Rhyme is a tight g-funk classic, Funk Mission is another hit of theirs I like, Kick that Sh*t sounds like something of the Geto Boys or N.W.A. which is a tight song, how can I forget the horrorcore classic Hand Of the Devil!?

Tennesee Titan's best songs are *2, 3, 4, *5, *6, 7, *8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14 & 15.

Pimpin @ its finest!!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-11-16

It's still classic. This album holds the test of time. I bought in 95, at Christmas, and its still hittin. For the first time, outside of Outkast, and the dungeon family, I have never heard some southern rap that doesn't have that typical southern sound. Eightball & MJG, make an album that is funked out with spritual lyrics, (that is not in ABC fashion or gettin' crunk), that really hits the listener. Track #2 the pimp anthem, "Pimp in my own Rhyme", has 8ball comin out hard and tellin these hoes just how it is.

Example: "F*ck being your boyfriend, girl I wanna hit dem boots/ jump deep in that rump/ and then I gotta fly B!tch/ you should've known how a real playa acts/ that's why I be/ about my P's/ and Q's/ cause hoes end up being bad news.

That is classic hotness!!!!

On the Afrocentric banger, "In the Line of Duty", MJG delivers fiyah like this:
"Everytime I breathes/ everytime I talks/ I'm always being heard/ or even being watched/ by scary @$$ white folks and crooked @$$ cops." That is a classic banger that deals with the police.

"What do you see" is another classic banger. 8ball once again delivers the extremely witty wordplay saying:
"Crews come 2's and 3's but they all 4's/enemies of me and MJG's tight flows".

As far as production. It's superior. It has a down-south pimp feel to it and no beat on there is wack, or sampled. Everything is original.

They also recive guest shots from E-40, Big MIke, Mac Mall, and others. This is also one of the first cd's I've ever bought that fills up 74 minutes, that is quality. Nowadays an album that long ain't quality, but this one is still timeless, and it still delivers, even after 10 years, but it was also made during the second golden age of hip-hop. That's just a few of the bangers that's on the album. This is also the cd with "Space Age Pimpin'". That song brought the duo more recongnition, and its probably when most people got hip to them.

All in all, if you want a southern rap album that has tight funked out southern beats, real flow about real life, this is it.

It's still superior, so please, please, if you can find it, go cop it!

Peace!!!!!!!!!!

Very Under-rated!!! .......2005-07-28

"On Top of the World" is a great example of why Ball & G are called the Kings of the south. Every track on this record is tight. The Beats are super clean as hell, fulla southern funk. And the lyrics are amazing as well, Ball & G spit like no other! It's too bad this album is often overlooked by many...they deserve a lot more respect than they get. Like I said, every track is sick, but my fav's would have 2 be "For Real", "All In My Mind", "Space Age Pimpin", "Top Of the World" and "Pimp in my own Rhyme". Check this out if u dont already got it!

Great album from Ball & G -- their best.......2004-11-05

The fat mac Eightball & the skinny pimp MJG deliver a classic album. This is my favorite out of all their group albums (I have 6 of them). All the songs are tight and you can listen straight through without skipping any. They are some of the south's finest (w/ Scarface, UGK, Devin the Dude, Lil Keke, Lil Flip, Big Mike, C-Murder, Young Buck, & Mr. Serv-On). There is no song on here I skip, it has 3 classics and a number of great songs. Southern rap isn't my favorite type of rap but I like some of it and this album is great and everyone should have a copy of it.

On stage, via songs and stories, David Wilcox is on a mission: to uplift, inspire, and cajole to laughter. This largely solo acoustic live set--Jake Armerding adds a bit of fiddle and mandolin--more than accomplishes that goal. Still, the material, as well as the between-song banter, often comes off with the vague, hopeful spirituality of a motivational speaker. The principal flaw lies in the selections: Wilcox's tougher, smartly detailed work is forsaken for message songs about roads not taken, rusty American dreams, and "kindness that clears my skies." Some of the well-rehearsed stories are genuinely funny, but Wilcox rarely challenges his audience to think or feel beyond New Age platitudes. Fans will delight in reliving his intimate live shows, but newcomers would be better served by wider-ranging, less preachy efforts like East Asheville Hardware or What You Whispered. --Roy Kasten

David Wilcox Is Awesome.......2007-02-17

Like sitting in a small room and hearing his thoughts and the resulting music. Humor, melody, poetry, and as ever that incredible guitar.

Just Like Being There.......2005-04-13

After being a fan for ten year, I finally was able to attend a performance by Dave. I purchased this album after the show.

This very much captures the feeling of being at the live show. Dave is a fabulous story teller and his dialogues flow very naturally in and out of his music. His playing is amazingly precise and stripped down to the simple acoustic and violin accompaniment it really shines.

If you enjoy his live shows, buy this album. If you enjoy this album, go to one of his shows.

If you think that the last few albums are "preachy", then you probably will not enjoy this one. One man's "preachy" is another's "insightful".

This CD captures the essence of Dave; witty, fun, insightful.......2003-05-14

I have garnered more fans for this great folk artist through this CD as David converses with the audience, lighting their souls with laughter, touching on childhood experiences with homage and capturing the emotions of the heart. If you are new to David Wilcox, I would recommend this CD and Eye of the Hurricane, though for me, Home Again CD with its "Burgundy Heart Shaped Medallion" will always remain my favorite.

If you like David Wilcox you will LOVE this CD!.......2003-04-08

The first time I heard David Wilcox was in a friend's car and listening to a C.D. of his music just didn't intrigue me. Then I heard him in this small college tavern called the Peanut Barrel in Bloomington, Indiana. I was hooked! He is lyrical, eloquent, and a gifted musician. I love his music and this C.D. has some of my favorite songs intertwined with some of his stories and musings that go along with the songs. It's like having your own personal concert! I've played this C.D. almost continuously in my car since I bought it a few weeks ago.

Real, Authentic Music.......2002-08-21

I can't say enough about this album. For those who are familiar with Dave's work this album will be very familiar. For those who are interested in getting aquainted with him, this may be the best way to invite him into your home. The recordings are warm and alive and consist of both songs and stories.

The thing that strikes me most about the album is how real it is. No pomp or glamour here. No boy bands or synthesizers or dance moves or nasty lyrics or the like are to be found on this album. Just a warm voice, beautiful, simple guitar and lyrics that will have you wondering just how did Dave know that about you.
