A musical treasure-box.......2006-09-10

Both the music and this actual product are masterpieces. John Dowland's collected works here - covering 12 compact discs - exhibit the depth and power of this composer, a composer who many now regard as suffering from clinical depression. I doubt that the issue of the diagnosis of Dowland's depression can ever be settled, however, it is certainly obvious from his music, so completely on display here, that he was a man with very dark depths and corners in his mind. Dowland's various manifestations and "takes" on his own tune, "Flow my tears"/"Lachrimae" are here. This tune has haunted me ever since I first heard it when I was a child. It seems to sum up Dowland's feelings - at least Dowland seems to have thought so.

The First, Second, Third and Fourth Bookes of Songes, A Musicall Banquet, the keyboard transcriptions, all the lute music, consort music are here and virtually everything else written or supposedly written by John Dowland. Anthony Rooley and The Consort of Musicke perform this music with style and feeling throughout. This 12 CD set is something of a monument to the ensemble - I only wish they'd finished their collection of Monteverdi madrigals, which was equally good (La Venexiana are currently doing a magnificent job of recording all Monteverdi's books of madrigals for the GLOSSA label).

This is an expensive set, however, you will probably never need to buy another John Dowland CD again after buying and listening to this collection.

I bought this CD set on a mild Summer evening of 1998 and listened to it while sitting in my sun room - which a glorious orange sunset in progress, and a glass of wine. It brought back so many memories.

a beautiful journey into melancholy.......2001-06-15

I'm amazed at how many people tend to associate John Dowland's music with a tragic sense of drama. While no doubt this is art highly based on sadness, the "tragic" sense of it is more a legacy from the Romantic period. During the Renaissance, however, sadness was undestood as a very aesthetic way of approaching life. That is also the reason why Shakespeare's tragedies appear more sophisticated than his comedies.

Dowland, a contemporary of Shakespeare, discovered that meditating on a sad theme is, at the same time, a way of discovering a special beauty that we tend to avoid (maybe because of the "tragic" heritage of the Romantics). So, in the end, meditating on sadness is an uplifting experience! This box set is a journey into melancholy that includes songs, chamber music, pieces for lute, some rare sacred music and -as a highlight- Dowland's beautiful collection of seven pieces for viola which he called "Lachrimae" (Tears).

A unique ensemble -- it's a shame it had to come to an end........2007-06-07

Some of you might know -- but others might not -- that there was a group called the Dixie Chicks, formed back in the late 80s, that was very different from today's group of the same name. The two groups are related, of course; sisters Martie and Emily Erwin were members of both the original ensemble and the current group. But they really should have changed the name of the band somewhere along the line, because today's group bears little resemblance, in appearance or music, to that original group -- whose first album was "Thank Heavens for Dale Evans".
Clearly, the majority of Americans prefer the new group -- as evidenced by the fact that the new Chicks have found the commercial success that always eluded the original Chicks. But the changes that were required to achieve that success came at a heavy artistic cost. Today's country/pop/rock sound makes the Chicks just part of that generic pop scene that sells most of the records, but has little real art to it. The original Dixie Chicks, on the other hand, were a truly unique group: An all-girl band who could really play and sing serious bluegrass and western swing music. And I mean really play. You'll have to try to get a copy of this album to see that I'm right about that.
Unfortunately, getting a copy might not be easy since the "new" Chicks have tried mightily to erase any memory of their past. "Thanks Heavens for Dale Evans" is out of print and will never be re-released, because Martie, Emily, and Natalie Maines want everyone to forget about Robin Lynn Macy and Laura Lynch -- the other two members of the original group, and the two members who were the real personality and heart and soul of the group (I saw them perform live in the early 90s, and Robin and Laura absolutely sparkled during the performance, while the Erwin sisters -- providing superb instrumental and vocal performances, to be sure -- pretty much stayed in the background from a personality standpoint). I especially remember Robin twisting her hips in time to the music, her western skirt swishing back and forth, as she strummed away at her guitar and sang the lead on the title song to this album. When she, and later Laura, left (were forced out of?) the group, it was the end of something special -- a really unique musical ensemble.
If you can get a copy of this CD, please do so. You might find that the past the current Chicks wish to hide was really the high point of the group's history.

Great Texas country and an outstanding female voice........2007-03-31

One of the greatest female country music albums of the 90's. It is real Texas country with an outstanding vocal performance and a nice fiddle too. If you are looking for the cookie cutter country music of today, don't buy this album! This is nothing like the Dixie Chicks' music of today. But, if you want real, refined and pure country music, you will be hard pressed to find a better one. Check out "West Texas Winds", one of the greatest renditions ever recorded. Enjoy.

A must have.......2007-01-03

This is a must for anyone who collects the Dixie Chicks. I got mine. Good luck getting yours.

Different Chicks, somewhat different sounds.......2006-09-03

I have been a big Chicks fan since "Fly" and supported them through "the incident". I got to see their recent concert and wanted to hear them from "before". I was not disappointed. This album and their older sound has it's own special, acoustic and bluegrass charm. Glad I got it, the old and new Chicks rule!

If it were a tape, it'd be worn out already.......2005-12-24

I drove across country shortly after getting this cd, and I barely took it out of the cd player the whole way--not sure how many hundreds of times that means I've listened to this! I love the "new" Dixie Chicks, too (sisters Martie and Emily Erwin are the only common thread), but I was curious about their previous sound, and I wasn't disappointed! This is a great record, with a lot of great harmony and, of course, talented ladies playing the heck out of just about every stringed instrument there is.

That said, buy their new records too! Natalie Maines, the lead singer, is witty and expressive, and her beautiful voice goes great with Martie and Emily's fiddle/banjo/mandolin/etc. Laura Lynch and Robin Lynn Macy brought some very different things to the mix, but their departures were largely, if not entirely, their own choices, and I hate to see Natalie punished for that.

Love the old stuff also!.......2006-12-15

This is very different from what you get with Natalie as lead singer, but it is great music. Their other older albums are awesome too! Love these girls...they are so very talented!

Another egg laid by the Chickens.......2006-12-13

Shouldn't have made this album. What drivil. Don't waste your money or time.

Not Bad, but.......2005-12-24

Not as consistently good as "Thank Heavens for Dale Evans", but definitely worth having. You can definitely hear the sound getting more "packaged" as the girls try to make it big and move away from their bluegrass roots, and the increased slickness makes for a less interesting record, but this is still great music!

It's the beginning of the end--maybe even the end of the end--for Laura Lynch, though. The more contemporary sound of this album does her no favors (I thought she was ideally suited to the more nostalgic style of "Thank Heavens for Dale Evans"). The bluegrass-style rough edges are gone, paving the way for the totally different (but also wonderful, in my opinion) edginess of Natalie Maines, which is what really made these girls big stars in the end.

The best of their early indie albums.......2003-04-03

This is the first album I heard the Dixie Chicks on, and for years I had them fixed in my mind as this nice, unassuming alt.country act, not realizing for some time what a huge success they'd become in Nashville. The act noticibly starts to tighten up, first with the loss of songwriter Robin Lynn Macy, and the inclusion of much more material by outside composers, such as Jim Lauderdale, Kim Richey and Jamie O'Hare. The catchy Radney Foster tune, "Whistles And Bells," is still one of my favorite DC songs, but after that opening salvo, the band's newfound professionalism is readily apparent -- the basic building blocks of their sound are all in place here, and the Erwin sisters, Emily and Martie, are beginning to assert themselves as lead singers and songwriters. More bad news for lead singer Laura Lynch: Lloyd Maines, Natalie's daddy, was brought in to play pedal steel on a few tracks, and thus, the writing's on the wall. Fans of the Chick's Top 40 Nashville hits will find this the most accessible and familiar-sounding of their early indie albums. It's slick, solidly produced and yet still soulful.

Not What You Might Expect From The Chicks.........2001-08-06

Well, I must say that, while this is an amazing album, it is nothing like what fans of "Wide Open Spaces" and "Fly" will expect. The leading lady on this CD, Laura Lynch, sounds nothing like Natalie Maines, the current lead singer of the Dixie Chicks.

1. "Whistles and Bells" Great country song, sounds like the old days of the Grand 'Ole Opry. Very traditional song, "Whistles and Bells won't ever bring you love and happiness, She's never gonna give her heart the way that I would give." A very beautiful song worth listening to.

2. "I'm Falling Again" Written and sung so smoothly and simply, it just stays with you from the moment you hear it. "We're destined to win, I'm falling again- right back where I been" A sweet, tender love song, very expressive banjo.

3. "Shouldn't A Told You That" I actually don't understand the title of this fast paced, square dancing-themed, very catchy title track. "I'm only human, he shouldn't a told me that." A fabulous song, the best fast song of the album. Very good instrumental riffs and vocals.

4. "Desire" "I can't undo what's been done when the web's already spun, I got caught up in desire" Just a fast, fun, beautiful, emotional song. Although, "Can't Undo What's Been Done" might have been a more appropriate title.

5. "There Goes My Dream" Starts off sounding a bit like "Cold Day In July," then reverts to what sounds like "I'm Falling Again" with different lyrics. My favorite of the album, beautiful, melancholy and sorrowful.

The rest of the album SERIOUSLY drags. "Planet of Love" is a torture session, sheer misery! "I've Only Got Myself To Blame" could have been much better with a little more effort in the tune, but as it is, it's barely worth mentioning. The other three songs are okay, but just don't have any passion or thought in the lyrics, it's as though Laura is merely reading the words from a sheet of paper and struggling to stay on key. And it isn't working. I feel I must warn that Laura's voice isn't as powerful as Natalie's, it's a very traditionally folk song voice, but it packs no power, no passion for what she's singing. Also, the songs on here are either love ballads, or slow songs stating a regretted afair. Nothing has the quirkiness of "Don't Waste Your Heart," "Goodbye Earl" or "Tonight The Heartache's On Me."

I still recommend this CD, just don't expect it to be anything like "Fly" or "Wide Open Spaces." "Shouldn't A Told You" demonstrates a very classical country sound and style with a very simple theme and little creativity between songs, which isn't always a bad thing.

This is the BEST CD Jaci has made! It is very exciting Latin music. It is a Christian recording, but will hold the excitement of teenagers. I know, because I bought one for me, one for my grandaughter for her birthday (she loved mine so much and she's 14), and one for her boyfriend who had been listening to his sister's CD and had been wanting it! He is 15! If you like fast, exciting Latin music, by all means, don't miss getting this one!

See ya, Jaci..........2005-03-01

The lady can sing, but her "Christian" message is compromised because of her part in "Chasing Papi", where she played a woman who - had she had the chance - would have hopped into bed with her on-screen boyfriend prior to marriage. It's "Crystal Clear" to me that Jaci broke my heart in a million pieces when she played that part. It's really tragic to see such a beautiful young lady with such a opowerful voice and message now reduced to nothing more than a hypocritical wannabee, much in the same way that Stacie Orrico is now becoming.....and is it just me, or is it coincidence that these two womens' album covers look strikingly similar? It appears their paths in life are similar, too: compromising a message and a stand that once set them worlds apart. As with a recent review of Orrico that I made, I'll give Jaci Velasquez her due: she can sing, and what I mean by that is sing the roof off of a house! This album was excellent.....was. Now, whenever I think or hear of Jaci Velasquez, I can only think one word: HYPOCRITE.

great singer - great voice.......2005-01-24

Jaci Velasquez is a young singer who has a great voice and a great start to her career. Although she doesn't write all her songs, she does quite a lot of them and I think they're great, and nobody's gonna change my mind. I have several of her CDs and this is one of my favorites. Just so you know, I think the samples they chose here are horrible and I think you will like the CD a lot better unless you are just one of those people who can't be pleased and critisize everything, like some people who have written on here.

please...no..........2005-01-15

ok heres the deal. jaci is an average singer that has a hype of this superwonderful voice and powerhouse. it's not true. her voice is nice at best and her songs are (generally) trite and simple, with melodies stolen from current pop songs (tell me you can't sing Jennifer Lopez's (don't get me started on her sub-par singing voice)"if you had my love" to the chorus of jaci's "every time i fall". if i was j.lo's agent i'd sue). this isn't her only song that does this, but i can't remember anymore so it's hard to believe me, i know. :) I had (notice - HAD) the enhanced version that encluded exclusive interviews (!!) with jaci at home. it was all so touching...anyways. so i got "special insight" to the song on the album. she said everyone but her didn't want "crystal clear" to be on the album but she insisted. too bad she didn't listen. its one of those confusing songs that leaves you thinking "wait...are you talking about God...or your boyfriend?!?" if you wanna sing a love song (which CC most assuredly is) than DO it! don't try to pass if off as singing to God, cuz it just comes off as a little weird and confusing. and I don't have enough time to get started on "Adore Adore Adore Adore...etc etc etc" what she needs is a window (ok ok it's a bad joke sorry). but actually i like to use the door when i hear that song. i don't recommend this to ANYone! if you MUST get a jaci cd, then i hesitantly suggest "unspoken"(also a kinda dumb song but 2 to 3 star cd). ok im done.

Wow...I..........2004-08-03

This was sooo great. I borrowed this CD from a friend and after a few listens i was stunned. The first time i listened to it, I found it kind of slow, but the more i listened, i found the lyrics helpful, and i found i was almost entraced with it. i reccomend this. i really do.

Great, but not their absolute best.......2005-12-24

Their best pre-Natalie Maines album, in my opinion, was "Thank Heavens for Dale Evans"--but that doesn't mean I don't love this one too! In addition to the other influences already mentioned, I really hear Bob Wills on this album, especially the title track.

Whatever else one may say about them, they don't sound quite like anybody else and nobody else sounds quite like them, a rarity in this age of bland, overproduced pop music; they took a bunch of different influences and blended them into something all their own.

Before they were famous.......2004-02-09

The first thing to say about this album is that it is very different in style from the music that most people expect from the Dixie Chicks. It has elements of folk, country and bluegrass but no pop whatsoever.

For this album, the line-up was Laura Lynch, Robin Lynn Macy, Martie Erwin and Emily Erwin. Before the Chicks became famous, Robin and Laura left. Robin later became a member of Domestic Science Club. Martie and Emily stayed and were joined by Natalie Maines. On this album, Robin and Laura took turns as lead singer, except for one instrumental track. Banjo (played by Emily) and fiddle (played by Martie) are the dominant instruments.

There are some interesting covers of A road is just a road (Mary Chapin Carpenter), Past the point of rescue (Hal Ketchum), Hallelujah I love him/her so (Ray Charles) and You send me (Sam Cooke), all of which sound very different from the originals, but I love them. There's also a brilliant Irish medley. Most, if not all, of the other songs are originals, several being written by members of the group.

Although I loved this album when I first heard it - and still do - it is very un-commercial and I was therefore taken by surprise when I learned that the Dixie Chicks had made it big time. Somehow, they managed to commercialise their sound while still remaining distinctive - no mean achievement.

This is a fascinating album of a remarkably high quality, but it is a much more rural form of music than the commercial music they became famous for after Natalie replaced Robin and Laura.

The roots of the Dixie Chicks.......2003-04-03

The humble beginnings of the Dixie Chicks -- a nice indie effort, which ranges from stringband swing and singer-songwriterish Americana to would-be Nashville demos and cutesy covers of 'Fifties oldies such as Ray Charles' "Hallelujah I Love Her So" and Sam Cooke's "You Send Me." In this pre-Natalie Maines version of the band, guitar and bass are provided by Robin Lynn Macy and Laura Lynch -- the Pete Bests of "young country" -- who also both handle the primary songwriting and singing chores. This album has its weak points and its charms; certainly, the spirit of Nanci Griffith hangs heavily over the whole album, and the band's indie-Americana origins are easy to spot. Released on a small Dallas-based indie label, Crystal Clear Sound.

really good.......2006-02-26

I remember seeing these guys once, a long time ago, playing an acoustic set at a blockbuster here in Dallas. It was lots of fun. Their drummer handed out little crackers with cheese and stuff on them the whole time since there was not room for his drums in the store. I think that was the only time I've ever seen a band perform inside a blockbuster.

They were great then, and they're music is still great now. Most of the band members, it would seem, have gone on to other projects, but their music lives on in this, hard to aquire, format.

I highly recomend it.

Such a great........2003-01-11

Never got to see them. But they're always with me in my head.

well i had to buy this cd again, because my sister lost the first one, but it was still worth it! this is a great cd! one of my favs since i first heard them through my friend (kaile)back in 19-ninety something, and still great these many years later! A good reminder of the great dallas music scene!

These guys are great. They made great music and even thought each are doing their own thing they still hold a strong grip on the dallas music scene.

This album is so much fun to hear!.......1999-08-04

Funland is what made the Dallas ("New Wave") scene so cool. Their album has incredible lyrics, as well as great guitar and drums. In my opinion, the best tracks are "Shitty Weather" and "Garage Sale."

Best Album You've Never Heard.......2005-09-15

This is such a wonderful album. Unfortunately for a while it was very difficult to find. Thankfully as Jack's popularity grew, so did the demand for them to bring back this album. Jack does a great job covering Jerry Jeff Walker's "My Old Man" and adds classics of his own such as "Still Got Scars," "One Light Town," "Beat Up Ford," "Crazy Like The Moon," and "Younger Days." An album you can listent to over and over. If you are a lover of grat music get this and every other Jack Ingram album.

Asking the Right (Lonesome) Question.......2002-04-14

A solid record that slips through the cracks, maybe because some of the material appears again in his other recordings. Still, Jack Ingram's music's meant for driving, and this easily overlooked record lends itself to just that. Give it a closer listen, and you'll discover how the theme of restlessness sits behind most of Ingram's work. His characters are always on the move, driving through one light towns, looking for work, searching.

Life's mostly attitude and driving, he writes, and this record shows he believes it. The same guy who named his band after a beat-up Ford has the good sense to cover Jerry Jeff Walker's "My Old Man," and I believe this is one of Ingram's very finest songs and it's easily this record's highlight. When he sings, "My old man, had a rambling soul," you'll hear Jack Ingram at his best. Almost conversational, instrumentation subdued, something much like old Merle Haggard but still remarkably good on its own. Listening to this record on 441 through south Georgia, heading north through Fargo and Homerville and Douglas and Dublin, the miles and minutes flew past.

Back in the Day.......2005-08-29

this is Jack's first album from way back when. I went to summer camp with Jack and first started hearing his music there. I remember when this album came out and in his "Thank Yous" he list tons of old camp friends. Jack is a little rough and raw, but that is what makes him so great. A must for any music fan.

Singer songwriter with boring songs = bad album.......2004-06-09

I hate to be the one to say it, but the emperor has no clothes on. This album has boring songs. I listen to plenty of TExas singer songwrither stuff and this particular album should be avoided. I think maybe people like it because of the first and last songs. The first, "Beat up Ford" is Ingram's best on the CD. Its a good driving song, while it doesn't make perfect sense, does rate a B+. The last song on the CD is the best song, but it is a cover of a REK nugget. In the middle is a straight cover of Waylon's "Mama Tried". This was a big bar tune in my younger day, but listening to it here really makes me wonder why it is played at such an uptempo. The singer is convicted to life imprisonment at age 20 - where is the joy in that? A lost opportunity here to reinterpret a song I have heard a 1000 times. Interspersed around these tunes is where the meat of the CD should be, but isn't. Ingram's songs are boring and unremarkable. I challenge anyone who gives this 5 stars to find an insight in any of the other songs.

There is a Willie Nelson song in there, but it can't save the CD. Logically, a singer songwriter should have a bunch of good songs on his album or what is the point? Since this is the only Ingram record I have listened to carefully, I can't say if this is an aberration. I love his song "Mustang Burn" so maybe that album is better, but these songs are boring!

It holds up.......2002-07-03

Jack Ingram's music makes me happy. This one in particular. While other records of his are countrier, louder, even funnier, this is one I return to often. It's consistently good, start to finish, and he can't help but quietly show off his good taste, such as when he covers Willie Nelson's "Pick Up the Tempo" or Merle Haggard's "Mama Tried." One of my favorite records, and as usual for Jack Ingram, it's prime driving music.

Great Honest Country Rock.......2000-12-12

Jack Ingram is one of my favorite singers/songwriters living today. This album is my favorite Ingram release. I grew up listening to local legends the Gear Daddies and singer/songwriter Martin Zellar. I didn't think there were many others like them...until I found Jack Ingram and Todd Snider (two of my latest favorites).

This album has the classic Ingram tracks "Beat Up Ford" and "Living Beyond My Means". Two of my favorite Ingram songs.

His new stuff is equally as good, but this older album is the one I keep playing over and over.

Highly recommended. Also be sure to check out the great Gear Daddies, Martin Zellar, and Todd Snider.

GRRRRREAT!.......2000-10-02

i go to camp longhorn (4th term), and each summer jack ingram plays a couple of songs for us at campfire. i think he is really good. usually i don't like country (i'm more into bon jovi and eve 6) but this guy is an exception. he has talent that surpasses that of any performer i have ever seen before. i recommend this because it's excellent.

Redo the Stacks is brilliant and got all the "ooh oohs" at the right places. Very charming lo-fi indie rock for fans of Superchunk or early Get Up Kids.

Greatest Power Pop Album of All Time?.......2003-06-05

Redo the Stacks is simply one of the best power pop records that I have ever heard. That might sound like damning with faint praise, but I swear it's not. The songs on Redo the Stacks are catchy and gloriously sloppy -- maybe kind of like a ragged version of Weezer. Out of the 20+ songs, there's hardly a bad one in the bunch. The songs range from lo-fi acoustic demos to full-blown rockers, but the songs all share a beautiful sense of melody. Some of the highlights for me are "Fidgeting Wildly", "Cannot Compete", "Don't Smash the Qualifying Man", "Tied to the Trailer". Don't take that to mean that those are the only good songs though; there's no filler here which is amazing for an album with so many songs.

For those familiar with only with later Centromatic stuff, the sound on this early record is kind of different. It's definitely a rawer sound, but it's certainly no less beautiful or melodic.

Converted.......2000-09-26

I am die hard fan of Shoegazer music, i.e. The Cure, My Bloody Valentine, etc. However, I am really impressed with this obscure band. This band's style is the antithesis of what I would normally listen to. For the life of me I cannot figure out why I am so moved by this band. The lead singer's voice is hardly palatable, but then again neither is Robert Smith's. Go figure. UGH! This is frustrating!! I really LOVE this band. I have this weird feeling that this band is going to be big. Too late, they are already number two on the college charts according to Rolling Stone magazine(July) . I have seen the future, and brace yourself this band is going to change alternative music.

SIMPLEy great.......2000-06-20

Heard these guys in Denton. Their songs are so simple, but so great. The album is recorded with cheap equipment, so it comes across as honest. It reminds me alot of Becks first recordings, although Centro-Matic is much more comprehensive.

Best record ever made!!!.......1999-06-29

This CD has some of the greatest lo-fi, mid-fi and hi-fi indi-rock you'll ever hear. Amazingly catchy pop songs next to heart wrenching lyrics. A real keeper.
