5 out of 5 stars Ultra Listenable.......2007-05-20

Along with "Hits I Missed and One I didn't", every time I listen to this 3 disc set in my vehicle it seems like the first time I've heard Jones' voice, hooking, mesmerizing...
For me George ranks right there with Tina Turner, "The Best", Bonnie Tyler "Total Eclipse of the Heart", Rolling Stones "40 Licks", Dylan and Cash "Girl from the North Country", Clapton's "Layla", Big Head Todd "Bittersweet", Dylan and the Dead "Slow Train Comin", Kris Kristofferson "Me and Bobbie McGee" and "Sunday Mornin", Fleetwood Mac, Gordon Lightfoot's "Edmund Fitzgerald", Beach Boys, CSNY,CCR,Buffalo Springfield, Roy Orbison, The Band, Hapa's "He'Eia", Eagles, Motown, Jefferson Airplane.. all the music I listen to driving and running that just turns to dust it's so worn out. And also George is right there with, Winston Churchill, whose liver, Richard Burton said, "The world would admire".

Can't disagree with Wynona that the best country song ever and the best country singer at that moment singing it is "He can't stop loving her today".For me, better than "He Stopped Loving Her Today" is the phenominal "Choices", his story...everybody's story in a way.

How many other guys riding around out there on their John Deere riding lawnmowers to go get a bottle of Jack are turning out as clean and good as this?

4 out of 5 stars Riminising With George.......2007-05-17

When I purchased this CD I thought I was buying it for my husband, Lyle. Little did I know, how much I would enjoy the CD. Some of the older songs were not familar to me,but Lyle remembered them all(he's nine years wiser than me). We've introduced it to family members and have yet to find anyone who doesn't enjoy it as much as we do. I'm glad Mr. Jones was able to release this CD while he could still comment on his life and career instead of someone doing it after he's gone. That personal touch means alot.

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding!.......2007-04-04

If you love George Jones like many of us do, you must buy this set! It is probably the BEST of ALL his recordings. The quality is pure, crisp, studio sound with his best vocals. I have many recordings of George Jones, but this set is simply the best versions of his repitoire!

5 out of 5 stars Merry Christmas Dad.......2007-01-12

I got this for my dad at Christmas. He couldn't have been happier. He loves George Jones. It made his day

4 out of 5 stars Great Time Piece.......2007-01-09

I bought this cd as a goft for my father and he loved it. Brought back memories of better days.

Album Description

Perhaps the greatest voice that ever graced a country record, Patsy Cline left her unique impression on the music world and inspired reverence in her millions of adoring fans. Her popularity has only grown over the years - new artists have covered the songs that she made famous and each year more music lovers of all genres are turned on by her incredible voice.

Presented here are the legendary Everest / Four Star recordings in their un-altered entirety finally available on a superbly remastered 2 CD set. These classic recordings will also be a big hit among the alt-country set as they are the rootsiest recordings Patsy ever made.

Classic country - pure Patsy.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Every song from the first half of her career.......2006-10-19

Please note that this is a re-issue of a long-out-of print double CD (Crazy dreams - the Four Star years) with exactly the same track listing but different packaging.

Patsy's recording career lasted from 1956 to 1963 and was divided between two record labels - Four Star and Decca, the switch occurring in 1960. Most of her success came with Decca but this collection focuses on the Four Star recordings, for which this is the best ever released, containing every song she ever recorded for the label, superbly re-mastered. There are extensive liner notes including session details for these recordings, even including an outline of her career with Decca. The style of Patsy's music on Four Star was solidly traditional country with none of the strings that were used on her Decca recordings.

Patsy's only hit during her time with Four Star was Walking after midnight, a song that Patsy later re-recorded for Decca. Part of the reason for Patsy's limited success (and the main reason that she eventually left Four Star) was that she was only allowed to record songs for which the record label held the publishing copyright. Despite this limitation, there are many excellent songs here.

Apart from Walking after midnight, the most famous original song here is the classic ballad, Just out of reach, a song that has often been covered by country, pop and soul singers. Now, why wasn't Patsy's recording a hit? Among the other great songs here are Pick me up on your way down, A poor man's roses (later covered by Reba McEntire, a huge fan of Patsy's music), In care of the blues and Come on in.

Towards the end of Patsy's contract with Four Star, the label relented and she was able to record some other songs including covers of Lovesick blues, Life's railway to heaven and Just a closer walk with thee. It was too late. Patsy moved to Decca and suddenly became a major star by recording some of the best original songs available.

If you are new to Patsy's music, I recommend that you should first look for a collection of her Decca music including such classics as I fall to pieces, Crazy and She's got you. If you want to explore further, you will enjoy this.

5 out of 5 stars the happy goodman family.......2006-02-25

this was purchased for a gift for my father. he requested a specific song by the group and your company made it easy for me to track down the right cd. he was so excited to be able to hear this music again. thank you for making his (and my) holiday special this year.

5 out of 5 stars Buy this!.......2001-04-14

This album is the BEST! I love to hear the couple that have been married for 50 years sing. Vestal is the greatest. She is my favorite gospel singer. If you don't have this album, make sure you get it soon! Love ya Vestal!!!!

5 out of 5 stars "Friends".......2000-06-23

Vestal and Howard Goodman. These names ring a bell to those of us who grew up listening to the Happy Goodmans. These 2 people are SO special. All of the songs on this cd I know are special to them. I feel I have known Vestal all my life. The song Friends is really special to me in such a way that-it reminds me that-we all have at least one earthly very special friend. But, we also have a Heavenly Father who wants to be our friend also. My favorite words in this song are,"..you just love me, and you pray for me-thats a friend." That IS a friend. God is our friend. We know that. And even with all the troubles this life may bring, one thing two special people said has always kept me going,"Lord, I wouldn't take nothin' for my journey now!"

4 out of 5 stars The "plays" the thing.......2007-02-20

Certainly most serious collectors will already have a large percentage of the extremely popular titles on ATLANTIC RECORDS * FIFTY YEARS among their holdings. The advantage of this great two-CD set is the opportunity to enjoy a parade of individual career highlights in chronological order. So there's nothing at all wrong with duplication, provided some thought has gone into the programming. This is why "Best Of" albums traditionally sell very well.

The songs here span the years 1958 to '96. ATLANTIC's first decade, as well as many artists, have been neglected-- perhaps unnecessarily. Properly done, an additional 43 minutes of programming could easily have been provided-- thus the 4 star rating. Includes a two-page company bio, and all recording dates.

TOTAL RUNNING TIME --
DISC ONE -- 52:00
DISC TWO -- 59:06

4 out of 5 stars Great collection, but..........2005-10-07

If you're gonna celebrate a record company's 50th Anniversary, it'd be better to issue a boxset instead of a 2 CD collection. Despite it's flaws, this is a great collection from the GREATEST record company of all time. Other songs I feel play an important part in Atlantic's history are:


"Mr. Soul" by Buffalo Springfield
"You Can't Stop Rock n Roll" by Twisted Sister
"Forever Young" by Alphaville
"Wanted Man" by Ratt
"After The Fire" by Roger Daltrey
"Need You Tonight" by INXS
"Wild Wild West" by Escape Club
"Seventeen" by Winger
"I Remember You" by Skid Row
"To Be With You" by Mr. Big
"Got Myself Together" by The Bucketheads

Just to name a few.

4 out of 5 stars A nice trip down memory lane for Atlantic's first 50 years.......2004-07-31

The only complaint about the 2-CD set "Atlantic Records: 50 Years" is that if you have a solid music collection you are going to have almost all of these 26 tracks. I was only missing out on "Baby" by Brandy, which resulted in nary a ripple of regret on my part. But then I also have to admit that most music listeners are going to be heavily into the early music or the alter music, but maybe not both. Trying to cover fifty years of music on two discs is a rather daunting task and this particular collection makes it a bit easier by focusing on R&B and rock. Still, for a trip down memory lane "Atlantic Records: 50 Years" this does cover songs that are some of the best known from their catalogue.

The first disc begins with the R&B and soul music from the 1950s and 1960s, including the long version of "What I'd Say" by Ray Charles. It will drive you crazy that there is only one track by Wilson Pickett and Aretha Franklin, but the rules of the game are just one bite of the apple per artist, and it is hard to complain about "In the Midnight Hour" or "Respect" as the choices. The songs you find here are the ones most associated with the artists, from Ben E. King's "Stand by Me" to Sam and Dave's "Soul Man." It is only when you get to the rock legends at the end of the first disc that the choices are clearly limited to what singles they released on Atlantic. That explains why Led Zeppelin does "Whole Lotta Love" and the Rolling Stones do "Brown Sugar." Led Zep did not do singles and the Stones only stopped by Atlantic for a cup of coffee, but the album gets bonus points for skipping the single cut of "Whole Lotta Love" for the album version.

The second disc covers much more of the musical spectrum, from the progressive rock of "Roundabout" by Yes and the disco classic "We Are Family" by Sister Sledge to the more eclectic offerings of Tori Amos's "Silent All These Years" and Hootie & the Blowfish's "Hold My Hand." Somehow throwing together Stevie Nicks, Bette Midler and Brandy on the second disc seems more of a reach than having Bobby Darin, Otis Redding, and Percy Sledge on the first. But then how do Chic, Phil Collins and Foreigner not suffer in comparison to the likes of Cream and Crosby, Stills & Nash? It is only with the contemporary artists that the choices of the songs for the respective artists strike me as being debatable (I would have gone with "Winter" for Tori Amos and "Foolish Games" for Jewel). Of course, I have those songs so I can "fix" the play list here if I want and you probably will be able to do so too. As I indicated at the start, this is a nice trip down memory lane but only if you can not do better on your own with what you currently have in your collection.

4 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Satisfying.......2000-11-16

I have to be honest and acknowledge that I ordered this dual CD set originally for the sole curiosity of hearing Yes' "Roundabout" & Phil Collin's "In the Air Tonight" in HDCD format. Well I was not disappointed with these two songs. I wish only that more titles could be released in HDCD - THEY ARE UNEQUIVOCALLY WORTH IT ON BOTH HDCD & CONVENTIONAL CD PLAYERS. Anyway, I was surprised with how I enjoyed many of the other titles too. Covering 50 years in a compilation is pretty risky since it requires a breadth of taste or at least curiosity on the auditor's part beyond their usual "sweet spot" and always leaves out some noteworthy absent (eg: ELP's "Fanfare for the Common Man"). All these songs were familiar, but I would not have purchased a CD for them; I am glad to have an intro to Ray Charles' "What'd I Say", Ben King's "Stand by Me" or Otis Redding's "The Dock of the Bay" to name just a few. Enjoy this HDCD experience - you will rediscover these songs even if you heard them a thousand times before. By the way, if you like this you must get the "Monster Jazz"' HDCD - it is breath-taking in a different genre!

Album Description

Former Truly (Sub Pop, Capitol) frontman Robert Roth's solo debut, "Someone, Somewhere…," is an uncompromising statement of artistic dedication. Equal parts Brian Wilson detail, Flaming Lips experimentation, Spiritualized bombast, and Tom Verlaine geometry, Roth's soulful drawl and unshakeable soaring melodies weave together washes of haunted guitars, mellotron-soaked soundscapes, and warped orchestral passages into an ageless epic that differentiates itself from imitations.

Devil in the Woods Magazine hailed "Someone, Somewhere…" as a "truly timeless creation," and said "Roth's work overwhelms listeners one moment, then pacifies them in starkly bare passages seconds later. It echoes nearly every great blast of sound from the past 50 years, not in the order of its chords, but in its ability to shake listeners from their complacency."

On his own for the first time, Roth's fierce yet elegant songwriting takes center stage. "Someone, Somewhere…" plays like a movie, putting you on a first-name basis with characters like "Vicki and Jacky" as they move between urban decay and gentrification ("Walk All Over Downtown Life"), stumbling into the violence and chaos of Seattle's millennium-closing WTO riots ("Streetplay `99") into the rolling blackouts of both U.S. Coast's ("Blackout City Serenade") and the personal alienation that accompanies living in a world clouded over by the harsh order of 9/11's cultural aftermath ("Relive These X," "Under the Ever-Watchful Eye," and "Yesterday's War").

Roth's work is personal but it also connects the personal to the political in the most subtly persuasive way. Avoiding lectures or preaching, he just recounts the low-level battles creeping everyday outside his front door. Somewhere between Thoreau's "Walden" and Zinn's "A People's History of the United States," Someone, Somewhere's ultimate effect is simultaneously unsettling and empowering. It reminds us that there are some compromises we must simply refuse to make.

5 out of 5 stars The Beginning of Something Beautiful.......2004-06-11

When music is good it's a wonderful thing; better than any drug, any amount of material things.... anything!! Robert Roth has been making good music for years with former band Truly, and has therefore heeped a mountain of pressure on himself to deliver with this, his first solo outing. Being a fan of his past works I have to confess I was apprehensive.

But you know what? The boy dun good!!!!

From beginning to end this album is filled with songs which never leave your head. From the mellow Lighting and Thunder, to the faster harder Relive These X, to the subtle title track, to the dark pop of Poison Arrow, 'Someone, Somewhere' is truly a great album, filled with dramatic soundscapes,and layer upon layer of keyboards and guitars intertwining to form beautiful melodies. Roth has outgrown the early Seattle sounds of his past and has broken through into something more rounded. You can hear any great musician from the last 20 years in here if you listen hard enough.

Go get this!!! You will never forget the day you bought it. It'll be the beginning of the rest of your life. AL

4 out of 5 stars brings back memories.......2007-01-09

This 50 year collection brought back such wonderful church memories for me as a teenager in an Air Force gospel chior. We sang every one of those songs The Only song I did not enjoy was the newer version of "My Mind's Made Up" very disapointing. My motto is if it's not broke don't fix it. the original recording was excellent. Thanks for the memories!

3 out of 5 stars 50 BLESSED years INDEED!!!!.......2004-07-22

This CD is really Good. It captures the essence of Milton Brunson and the TCS! My personal favorites are Over and Over and Over, I really love you Lord, My mind is made up and my all time favorite Safe in his arms!!! If you have listened to the radio from 1980 to now, you'll love it. (gospel radio , ofcourse)This CD is a must-have! You would also like Milton B's greatest hits also, with songs like No failure , I tried Him, He cares 4 U and many others. Order it NOWWW!!!

Safe In His Arms has got to be one of the most recondmended and requested songs in this time. This song has so much meaning and deliverance until anyone who is bound, depressed, opressed and other things that I have not mention will know that they are truly safe in his arms. There is no one else to run to but to him and he always have his arms open no matter what we are going through or what we have done.

    5 out of 5 stars Original hit recordings of actual HITS.......2005-09-28

    (FYI: it seems I have the newer 2004 cover which apparently amazon.com is not advertizing here instead of the 2001.)


    I haven't yet actually bought many compilation albums, but I've looked through a lot. "Casey Kasem Presents America's Top Ten Hits: 1950s" is 1 of the few that seems to actually get it right. This album features ACTUAL HITS (not fringe 1-weekers that nobody remembers), shocking for any compilation it seems.

    And shocking for an oldies album (I've been following '50s-'60s stuff since my high-school days in the '80s) - they are the actual, original recordings that actually hit the chart - rather than some re-tread an aging act did in concert 15 years later or some stylized improvisational spin they tried to be "different".

    So, I think I'll be trying Casey Kasem's versions for the other decades. I might actually get 20 songs that were actually hits that I heard on the radio instead of unknown songs and re-recordings made by crackly-voiced old "artistes" trying to be different and sound hip to the fringe elements.

    5 out of 5 stars Great album if you're looking for 50's hits.......2005-08-02

    My mom has been looking for a 'best of' CD of Fifties music for forever. I finally stumbled across this CD and had her check out the song listings and with her approval I bought it for her for her birthday. She loves it! As stated before, you don't get Elvis, but if you really want Elvis you should buy a whole Elvis CD. When you figure that you get 20 songs for under $16 this CD is a great deal. I only wish there had been more Little Richard but here you only get one song per artist. If you're looking for a best of the fifties CD this is the one to get.

    5 out of 5 stars Casey Kasem's chronological countdown of 50's rock 'n' roll.......2003-01-05

    The perfect musical anthology for any given year or decade in rock music history is an impossible dream. This is simply because of the copyright limitations that Casey Kasem or anybody else faces in putting together such a collection: how can you do anything serious on the Sixties without the Beatles? Consequently, with "America's Top 10 Through the Years: The 50's" the obvious glaring omission is Elvis (Of course, even if you have Elvis, what song do you pick? But that is another question for another day).

    That being said, Kasem has provided exactly what you would expect from the man that has been counting them down almost from the beginning: a first rate collection covering the artists and songs that defined rock 'n' roll in the decade of the 1950s. Yes, the countdown should have begun with Bill Haley & His Comets' "Rock Around the Clock" (even though Kasem's chronological order makes sense) but here is Buddy Holly, Fats Domino, Little Richard, Richie Valen, and Jerry Lee Lewis. Here are the harmonies of the Everly Brothers singing "Wake Up Little Susie," Carl Perkins playing guitar on his classic "Blue Suede Shoes," and the get down saxophone of "Yakety Yak" and "Tequila." We start with the relative innocence of "Splish Splash" and "Rockin' Robin" but when we get to "Great Balls of Fire" you know Top 10 music has changed forever. With 20 classic tracks you should be able to find the requisite five (or more) tracks to add to your music library. Even with the inherent limitations facing him, Kasem has put together a first-rate musical anthology for the first decade of rock 'n' roll.

      Amazon.com

      Of the 27 tracks included in this three-disc 50th anniversary celebration of the Newport Jazz Festival, the only one that hasn't been released before is a 1955 performance of "'Round About Midnight" by an all-star band assembled under Miles Davis's name, including Thelonious Monk (the song's composer), Gerry Mulligan, and Zoot Sims. It's too bad famed Newport promoter George Wein didn't include more rarities (and more detailed notes). But even lacking them, this is a consistently enjoyable collection: how wouldn't it be with the likes of Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie, John Coltrane, Sarah Vaughan, and Ella Fitzgerald all performing at peak powers?

      Wein is a confirmed mainstreamer, and that is reflected by his emphasis on traditional jazz and swing. The bulk of the performances are from the '50s, including Ellington's historic treatment of "Diminuendo in Blue," with its marathon tenor solo by Paul Gonsalves, and the Basie band's show-stopping rendition of "One O'Clock Jump." With the composer at the piano, Ben Webster induces goose bumps with his 1958 reading of Billy Strayhorn's "Chelsea Bridge." Tracks by Coltrane and Monk highlight the '60s performances, while only a few tracks postdate the festival's move to New York in 1972, including a pair of small-group recordings by Fitzgerald and Herbie Hancock's reprise of "Maiden Voyage" with his V.S.O.P. quintet. Blues (Muddy Waters) and gospel (Mahalia Jackson) are represented by one track each. You would never know from Happy Birthday Newport! that the fest was visited by politics during the civil rights and Vietnam eras, but maybe that's a theme for another Newport retrospective. --Lloyd Sachs
