    5 out of 5 stars Great stuff!.......1999-04-24

    I think his new stuff is good but somewhat politically correct,nothing like the days of bawdy songs and backroom ballads. Anybody out there have a tape or record of baudy 1&2. I have a tape of #2.

    5 out of 5 stars Pity the Downtrodden Landlord..........1998-12-01

    This is great, the ever-straightfaced Brand at his most shamelessly sardonic, this time tackling economics & politics from a wiseacre-underdog POV. Now if only someone would start re-releasing the Bawdy Songs & Backroom Ballads series...

    Boy George's musical-theater debut has been unfairly maligned. Set in the glamorously decadent London nightlife of the early 1980s, the show is unquestionably hampered by a weak book. But Boy George's original score (which is credited to his actual birth name of George O'Dowd) boasts several strong pop songs and generously spread-out tour-de-force numbers among a handful of performers. The plot follows the rise to fame of Boy George (impeccably channeled by Euan Morton) and his interaction with lovers and hangers-on, friends and foes. One of the most striking characters is Australian-born performance artist Leigh Bowery, confusingly played by Boy George and Matt Lucas, who took turns during the London run and who both appear on this cast album (George sings "Everything Taboo," for instance, but Lucas gets the striking, Cabaret-like "Ich Bin Kunst"). Confused yet? Well, that's Taboofor you. But never mind the plot: There's plenty of cool, theatrical tunes on this CD, which is more than you can say about most contemporary shows. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

    3 out of 5 stars Jolly Good!.......2006-06-16

    Boy George may be to blame for the failure of his musical in the United States, though he would rather fault Rosie O'Donnell. Still, critics praised him for his lyrical skills here. There are catchy songs with various gay themes here. I enjoyed it though I've never seen the musical. I think musical fanatics will appreciate having this piece in their collection.

    5 out of 5 stars Bravo Boy George!.......2004-05-26

    Don't hate me, but I saw the Broadway production five times including closing night. I'm still unclear why this tremendous production did not catch on, it was truly amazing. It's the first time that I've seen a Broadway show more than once. I received my Broadway CD today, as I ordered it the day after the show closed - I understand that it will be available in July, 2004, hopefully sooner in time for the Tonys. The soundtrack CD is absolutely brilliant, completely capturing the fire and energy of the live production. My favorites from the show are still my favorites here, especially Euan Morton's haunting Stranger In This World and his beautiful Pretty Lies; Liz McCartney's unbelievable take on Talk Amongst Yourselves; Guttersnipe (so funny and cute live); I See Through You; Raul Esparza's heartbreaking Petrified plus the opener Freak; Out Of Fashion and the finale, Come In From The Outside. My fingers are crossed that the Tony's are generous to this show and hope Rosie O'Donnell keeps her promise for a return for this show! Get a copy, you won't regret it, even if you are not a Boy George fan, his lyrics and beautiful melodies are his best ever - everything here is eons above so many Broadway shows that run for years. I guess I'll just keep wondering why mass audiences didn't get it, although the show did receive a standing ovation every performance.

    5 out of 5 stars holy crapper!.......2004-05-18

    well first off, being a huge boy george fan... i was interested in his musical... i bought this cd... and i must admit most of the songs are written well and are catchy.... the most touching song is STRANGER IN THIS WORLD... euan morton's voice is soothing and the lyrics are sad and beautiful... and i recommend this album to all boy fans... although this is the london recording.... (as i patiently wait for the broadway score)... this album is good.... although george only sings on one song its still being rotated in my stereo.... get this album now....

    5 out of 5 stars A Very Pleasant Surprise.......2004-04-23

    I did not see the Broadway Musical, but I am curious why it failed. I bought the cd just out of curiosity and absolutely love it. The songs are witty and the ballads are especially beautiful. I would highly recommend this cd.

    5 out of 5 stars No words to describe this.......2004-04-12

    My review is going to be short and i'll get right to the point. Buy the soundtrack. The singers are beyond anything you've ever heard before. Euan Morton, be still my heart. His voice is mesmerizing. The song STRANGER IN THIS WORLD will leave you breathless. Just listen to it and you'll be transfixed, I know I was and am everytime.

    5 out of 5 stars The Welsh Django Reinhardt........2006-09-06

    In America they had Leo Kottke, Duck Baker, John Fahey and Stefan Grossman.Back in England in 1972 John James was hailed as the 'next Django Reinhardt" in The Melody Maker and various British music papers.
    Even though he is essentially a folk guitarist whenever he breaks into single line runs he does resemble Django as shown on the very first track of this CD. This compilation of two of his early albums show us his skill (as well as fellow adept guitarist Peter Berryman)in handling everything from sea shanties to jazz to ragtime. Acoustic guitar has never sounded sweeter as James & Berryman tackle some very demanding and intricate passages .
    The liner notes say that both men were inspired by Lonnie Johnson & Eddie Lang and this influence comes through on the tune "Easy Street" as they swap solos in that fashion.
    The standout track for me is their version of Scott Joplins "Weeping Willow".(beautifully handled)
    All the tunes are wonderful. On "Head In The Clouds" John James is aided by ex- Pentangle musician John Renbourne and the extravaganza continues.
    In the early 70s in Britain there were several VERY talented folk guitarists who picked up from Davey Grahams legacy abit. Happily most of them are stll around.
    (Martin Carthy, John Renbourne, Ralph McTell, Wizz Jones, Bert Jansch,Gerry Lockran,Richard Thompson etc) James & Berryman have faded abit in the distance today but they were amongst the most notable.

    4 out of 5 stars A nice missing link in the "new acoustic" guitar scene.......2003-08-23

    This single-disc reissue features two albums of obscure instrumental acoustic guitar music by Welsh guitarist John James. The first album, Pie In My Sky" features duets with guitarist Peter Berryman, many with a choppy, blues-informed style that doesn't quite have the expansiveness or imaginative breadth of, say, John Fahey or Leo Kottke, although it is still quite nice. (Certainly better than anything I could play...) By his second album, though, James had grown considerably, and the melodies and phrasing are much, much richer. Underscoring this growth, one of the masters of the genre, John Renbourn, joins him on three of the album's tracks, and these duets are indeed quite lovely. Guitar music fans will find this disc of note.

    4 out of 5 stars A sadly little known guitarist.......2000-08-15

    In the 1970s John James, a ragtime-influenced Welsh folk guitarist, put out a string of highly personal and technically accomplished albums that any musician would have been proud to have associated with his name. Sadly, in the U.S. he was, and still is, entirely unknown. Folks, this was one of the very best finger-picking style guitarists of his generation! Unlike his blues-influenced contemporaries Jansch, Renbourn and Graham, his was a nimble-fingered ragtime approach to his art--he was one of the first to rejuvenate the style, even before Joplin finally got his due with "The Sting." This particular twofer combines his first and fourth albums. I never cared all that much for "Sky in My Pie" (most of which consists of duets with second guitarist Pete Berryman), but "Head in the Clouds" is a minor masterpiece featuring some stunning ragtime renditions, ragtime-jazz fusions, and double-tracking that looked forward twenty years to some of the more atmospheric efforts of the Windham Hill crowd. Now, if only we could get a twofer of the second and third albums, perhaps his two best overall, the whole picture might finally come into focus...
