There's no better example of American pop culture's hall-of-mirrors ethos than producer Alan Carr's relentlessly buoyant 1978 film adaptation of the stage musical Grease. Inspired by that decade's rampant 50's nostalgia, it now paradoxically evokes the campy 70's excesses that spawned it. That sense of recycled decades in collision is underscored repeatedly on this deluxe, double-disc Grease-fest, especially on the set's second disc of bonus materials that spans vintage singles of the title track (its instrumental B-side) and "Greased Lightnin'," some sing-along karaoke tracks, and a handful of alternately slick/techo-savvy remixes (originally produced for the film's 20th anniversary) that are testament to its enduring, era-defying appeal. The original soundtrack itself has been treated to a stellar digital remastering that fills disc one, and remains a joyous monument to camp, sheer ambition, and exuberant nostalgic illusions. Includes a slip-cased, double-fold-out case and new booklet with complete song lyrics. --Jerry McCulley

You 're The One That I Want.......2007-04-03

The complete Grease experience. This cd is a two disc-set with disc one being the complete soundtrack, while disc two is all bonus material including the popular Grease Megamix. Fans of the movie would want to make this cd an essential part of their music collection.

Prepare to be transported to Summer Nights.......2006-03-26

Well here we are with a great piece of history.

This album has not only captured the spirit of the movie but the essence of a 1970's version of the 1950's. I have seen this play live and yes some things are different. Yet I grew up on the movie. I even find myself singing some of the songs now and then. Of course you will never see me singing "Look At Me, I'm Sandra Dee." However I do keep this in my car as great driving music. This album is not you can pick apart and say things like missing songs, in the wrong order etc. It sounds and feels just right. There will be many versions yet this one is the Grease - Deluxe Edition [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] [SOUNDTRACK] gives you more information about each of the tracks allowing you to feel that you have inside information and to feel that you know more of what went into the making of each song.

Great Soundtrack & Fun Extras from an Enduring Musical........2004-07-06

I'm enjoying listening to this great soundtrack that I loved as a child after a long hiatus. I had it on 8-track 25 years ago. So it's fitting that I should get the 25th Anniversary Edition on CD. The 24 songs from the movie are just as everyone remembers them, so I'll talk about the Bonus Disc, which contains 10 alternative versions of the songs plus 2 previously unreleased instrumentals from the film.

Track 1 on the Bonus Disc is an instrumental version of the film's theme, "Grease", written and produced by Barry Gibb. Frankie Valli's voice has been replaced by a saxophone. The chorus is vocal, but the voices are not those in the original song. You could use this as a sing-along version, as it would be easy to sing over the sax. Tracks 2-5 are officially sing-along versions. "Summer Nights" includes the chorus vocals from the film and sounds good. "You're the One That I Want" has new chorus vocals of questionable merit. "Sandy" is a new arrangement. It's not as good as the film version, but you can sing along. Track 6 is the single version of "Greased Lightning" that you may have heard on the radio back in the day. It's differs from the original in that the bad words have been replaced for radio airplay. Tracks 7-8 are previously unreleased instrumentals from the film. "Greased Up and Ready to Go" is lively. Tracks 9-10 are mixes that I occasionally hear on the radio. The "Grease Megamix" and the "Grease Dream Mix" are fun, if awkward. Tracks 11-12 are Martian Remixes of "Summer Nights" and "You're the One That I Want". They retain the original vocals, but set them to a Latin rhythm. They make pretty good dance tracks.

This 2-disc set isn't in a jewel case. The case is paperboard with 4 panels that fold out. This is inside of a clear vinyl slip case on which the tracks are written. This isn't convenient packaging. On the bright side, the case won't crack in the mail. Tucked inside one of the panels is a booklet that contains lyrics and credits.

The "Grease: 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition" is a terrifically fun soundtrack to one of the all-time great movie musicals. And for all those preteen girls who go wild over the movie with each new generation, the bonus material is perfect for parties and horsing around.

If You Love Grease, You'll Love This - Only 1 Major Flaw.......2004-05-15

Disc 1 is like the original album, which I also own. 1 major flaw is that "Love Is A Many Splendored Thing" cuts off at the very end of it! I was upset by this, hence the 3 stars instead of 4. Disc 2 is a lot of fun w/some remixes and sing-a-longs, all in all, I'm pretty happy with it being that I'm a HUGE Grease fan. If you like Grease, you'll love this, it's fun. Too bad when they "remastered" it, they didn't catch there 1 mistake. Oh well, at least I have it on another album.

A vibrant tribute to MGM's legendary confluence of brains, talent, hard work, ambition--and dare we say it?--massive egos, Singin' in the Rain long ago took its rightful place among the first rank of the studio's dizzying catalog of film musicals. This double-disc, 46-track 50th-anniversary edition features all of the film's familiar songs, as well as numerous outtakes and extended versions, many culled directly from the film's original recording masters. Its second disc also chronicles the film's clever--if studio imposed--self-referential musical gambit of recycling a slate of Arthur Freed/Nacio Herb Brown songs from Metro's first decade by including 14 of the originals, including performances by Jeanette McDonald, Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, and Freed himself. Featuring a dozen previously unreleased recordings and an illustrated booklet containing the insightful reminiscences of the film's original writers, Betty Comden and Adolph Green, it's the ultimate musical companion to one of cinema's magical, enduring masterpieces. --Jerry McCulley

the perfect movie.......2007-03-10

My old Gene did it: the perfect movie, the perfect american history, the perfect music. Some people think musicals are "B" movies. I say them: look about the dream, the performance, the music.
Who can say what is beatiful? Look at faces of Gene and Stan during the shooting on the set: whole concentration and attention for everything.
This is a unique moment in their story, and in the story of cinema.
Unforgettable.

I LOVE MY FAVORITE SONG, AND THANKS TO THIS CD I CAN LISTEN TO IT ALL DAY LONG!!.......2007-01-28

I love Singin' in the Rain. It was the movie that made me like musicals, not those simple, mellow movies like South Pacific and the Sound of Music, but REAL musicals, with people like Fred Astaire or Eleanor Powell tapping their hearts out, or great singers like Frances Langford or Dick Powell putting over a song like they mean it.The Singin' in the Rain 2disc special edition introduced me to my favorite movie, the Broadway Melody of 1936, the MOST AMAZING MOVIE EVER! So I was so glad when my parents got me the soundtrack to Singin' in the Rain, and besides the music of the 1951 versions of the Nacio Herb Brown/Arthur Freed, there are also the original versions of the songs in their original movies. I am so glad that Rhino put the duet of Robert Taylor and June Knight singing I've Got a Feelin' You're Foolin' on this CD set! It's my favorite song, and now I can listen to it! Hooray!! It's the best song EVER!! There's also vocals of Charles King singing the Broadway Melody, which is great! And many more, like Bing Crosby, Frances Langford, Jeanette MacDonald, and other great singers I can't think of right now. This CD set is great, the sound is nice and un-staticy (mostly), there are 30-plus songs, and the price is phenomenal. I love my favorite song, and now I can listen to it all day long!! Yay! :)

Wonderful Soundtrack to a Wonderful Movie.......2006-06-16

Yes, this is it--the first real musical I ever saw. Okay, I saw "Wizard of Oz" and "The Sound of Music", and I love both of those musicals dearly. I had even seen "My Fair Lady." I thought musicals were all like those. Until this one. I had never seen such dancing. And this CD causes me to relive the joy of the musical each time I listen to it. Complete with the tap sounds. I love that they included even the deleted songs. Now we just need a DVD that has all the deleted scenes in context. But the studio probably threw all those away. Oh well, our imaginations can take care of what is missing.

Great CD.......2006-03-20

This is a great CD of music for your family to listen to. Our family enjoys it very much.

musical memories.......2006-03-14

I enjoyed this CD very much, as I remember seeing the movie years ago. I grew up watching MGM musicals and this was one of the best. I loved all of the wonderful songs that came from this movie. Great sound on this CD.

From Amazon.ca

With an impressive total of 10 Blue Rodeo studio recordings and five Juno awards in 20 years, Canada's most consistent country-pop kings have stuck to what they do well on Are You Ready: making toe-tappin' music that fans of torch and twang will welcome with open arms. The disc's kickoff track, "Can't Help Wondering Why" is a three-minute, sunshine-y joyride that leads straight into the rockabilly-riffs of the Orbison-esque number "Are You Ready?" Near the end of the CD, however, the exact opposite emotion is evoked. "Tired of Pretending" brings Keelor's full-frontal passion to the surface, the result is a compelling, gut-busting rant about apathy, where the co-frontman screams out "I'm tired of pretending that I still care."

Rockabilly pokes its head out on more than one occasion; a strong Celtic influence bleeds through as well, courtesy of Keelor's "Phaedra's Meadow" which features the legendary Paddy Moloney from the Chieftains on the Aeolian pipes and flute. The song's sparse, spooky opening verse proves to be the disc's highlight, a musical moment in time that is neither country, nor pop, but shows that the boys of Blue Rodeo continue to take inspiration from a host of styles, ultimately making their own rich, warm musical mélée.--Denise Sheppard

Album Description

Album Details

Like Fine Wine, Blue Rodeo's Music Gets Better as Time Passes, and the Country-tinged "Are You Ready" (The Band's Tenth Studio Album) is a Rich, Earthy Recording That, in Overall Feel, is Reminiscent of their Quintessential 1993 Album, "5 Days in July".

Customer Reviews:

Bravo..........2005-12-25

You can stack this moment in music with Blue Rodeo's "5 Days In July". I'm not crazy about the first cut, but thereafter, watch out! This album soars with at times with a 60's sound which sounds fresh and fun! Typically, great Blue Rodeo ballads are in this mix, penned by Cuddy and Keelor, writers who can stand with any other writers, past or present. This is their best work since "5 Days"...I hope it won't be their last! I have this brilliant groups entire collection as they are easily one of my favorite groups and I'm not sure my wife listens to anything else! Once Blue Rodeo gets into your system, you're addicted and happily so...ENJOY!

Blue Rodeo returns to form!.......2005-09-16

Although typecast as Country/Pop/Rock, these guys sure know how to make music. These twelve cuts return them to their "Five Days in July" and "The Days in Between" form. Needless to say, I love it. This is as good and as honest and as fun as any music that is being made today. The writing/singing duo of Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor have been called the "Canadian Lennon & McCartney." I'm not sure there is a much better endorsement in the entire Pop/Rock world. I have been a long, long time fan and this album sits on the shelf along with the rest of the amazing catalog. They are one, if not the top, of my favorite groups for a single reason: they make great music.

Hank certainly didn't do it this way..........2007-01-28

These are what I consider the last few good records Waylon cut before the string of bad records. In his auto biography he talks about cutting these records high as a kite on Cocaine.

Two great seventies albums.......2005-05-26

The pairing of these two albums appears a little odd but many of Waylon's seventies albums had already been released on CD. Still, both albums are well worth hearing and Waylon's fans everywhere will welcome this twofer.

The first album here (Are you ready for the country) was recorded when Waylon was at the peak of the outlaw phase of his career. Apart from the brilliant title track, it features many other outstanding songs including Can't you see (written by Toy Caldwell of the Marshall Tucker Band), MacArthur Park (an incredible version of this classic song), Couple more years (also recorded by Dr Hook at around the same time), Old friend (about Buddy Holly) and Precious memories (the gospel classic).

The second album (What goes around) was recorded just three years later but by that time Waylon's sound had changed somewhat. The style may be different but the music is still brilliant. On this album, the first five tracks are generally up-tempo while the second five are generally slower, more reflective. The album opens with I ain't living long like this (a Rodney Crowell song also recorded by Emmylou) but my favorites here are It's the world's gone crazy (the lyrics may seem crazy at first but the song makes sense if you listen to it a few times), Ivory tower and Come with me.

Most of Waylon's seventies albums are now available on CD. If you are a Waylon fan, make sure that you buy them before they go out of print. This twofer may not be the highest priority among those available but it is certainly deserving of a place in any collection of Waylon's music.

Brings back memories.......2003-11-07

It was back in the late 1970's and I was a teenager who loved to listen to Waylon. These songs are classic "outlaw" waylon at it's best. Back in the mid 1970's Waylon released "Are You Ready For The Country" continuing on in the tradition of "Ramblin' Man", "This Time", "Honky Tonk Heroes" and the other albums he had been doing since breaking free from the "Nashville" production on the earlier sessions (they were good, but sounded like all the other Country artists on RCA at the time)... Waylon however wanted to do it his way and nowhere is it more evident than on "Are You Ready For The Country".
This set begins with the rocking title cut then he eases down with "So Good Woman" which sounds like it must have been directed straight at Jessi "You know I've run around all my life/You could've done better cause you've been a good wife"
"Them Old Love Songs" is the third track and talks about someones wish to find a love "like people do in them old love songs"... I could go on and on, but one of my favorites on here is "MacArthurs Park". Waylon had done a version with a female vocalist back in the last 1970's but the Nashville people put strings, horns and flutes in it. This time Waylon did it his way, singing all the vocals and using his band with the trademark sound of Ralph Mooney's steel guitar taking front and center. There is also the tribute to Buddy Holly here called "Old Friend" among others that are just plain good music.
This CD continues with the lp "What Goes Around" which starts off with "Ain't Living Long Like This", goes into the title cut and the first four songs are toe tappers, one of the best of which is "I've Got The Train Settin' Waitin", but then it gets weird with "It's The World's Gone Crazy" ("the dancer's are dancin' alone/the sidemen all want to be frontmen and the front men all want to go home... just an example of the lyrics on that weird little tune)... Side two of that album showed a more laid back smoothe Waylon starting with "Ivory Tower" then the story song "Out Among The Stars" about a down and out young man who "can't find a job but has found a gun" and holds up a liquor store, then the classic "Come With Me"... there are more tunes here but I've hit the hilites on two of my favorite Waylon lps of all time and they've put them together on this one CD... What more could you ask for?

Two distinctly different faces of a legend.......2003-06-16

The pairing of these two pieces of Waylon's work seems rather odd. However, both are very welcome to be back in my Waylon collection after several years of being absent. "Are You Ready For The Country" is an example of Waylon's ability to capture that renegade spirit during the height of his commercial success. All of these songs are pure Waylon at his best, but his rendition of Toy Caldwell's "Can't You See" is, in this reviewer's opinion, the epitome of what the "Outlaw Movement" of the seventies was all about. Listening to "What Goes Around" takes us into a different era of Waylon's fame and legend. You can tell that his taste in material has changed, as has his delivery. Two stand out tracks on this album are "If You See Her" and "Old Love, New Eyes". Waylon was always defying anybody to label his music or pidgeonhole him as an artist. The differences in these two albums
is a testament to what made him one of the greatest recording artist in the history of country music. He could continuosly grow and expand his horizons, all the while making his fans want to ride along and listen. This collection brought back a lot of great memories for me. Thank's Amazon for offering it. And thank you Waylon, for all those years of rebellious inspiration.

Album Description

The best way to explain what this band sounds like is that they are a combination of REM, Hootie and the Blowfish and Dave Matthews with a smidgen of the Allman Bros. for good measure.

This band has a melodic foundation with a marvelous pop sensibility; they are intelligent, crafty, and very talented at every position in the band. Get ready folks, the south is gonna do it again. They have all the cardinal traits of greatness and I hope you as the listener are curious enough to check them out.

I normally don't listen to Rock, but this album draws you in. Every song is perfectly done and very smooth. If Dr. Dre did rock music, it would sound like this! This has become my favorite album by far.

title of review.......2005-05-26

These guys really are at the absolute top of the commercial radio pop-rock pile, as good as Collapsis, Athenaeum, and Transmatic. I don't know how these guys haven't got a major label deal, because they're totally better than 95% of major label rock, and every song on this album has hit written all over it.

cookie cutter.......2005-05-01

I personally do not like Cardinal Trait or this type of music. They are just another cookie cutter band with nothing to make them stand out in an already flooded music world.

Recorded over two nights in September 2000 at Austin's Continental Club, Are You Ready for the Big Show? stitches together a handful of Radney Foster favorites, five new songs, a little stage patter, and the whoops of an adoring crowd to produce a compendium of good-time Texas roots-rock. Aswirl in organ, slide guitar, and twinkling mandolin (courtesy of Nickel Creek's Chris Thile), the first four tracks sound like so much fun you won't notice they're all about hard luck and heartbreak. Things drag a bit in the middle--blame the far too precious "Went for a Ride"--but Foster recovers quickly with a sharp version of his 1992 hit "Nobody Wins" and a blazing pair of tunes drawn from 1999's See What You Want to See: "Folding Money" and the set-closing "I'm In." The likes of Pat Green, Jack Ingram, and brothers Bruce and Charlie Robison may aspire to the success of Robert Earl Keen, but this disc offers a better role model. --Anders Smith-Lindall

Fantastic live record with first rate songs and performances.......2003-07-18

I'm always saying "man, there's nothin' on TV". Well, I was wrong about that, at least once. One night my TV found it's way to a some Opry show and it's Radney Foster doing a live gig. I'd never heard of him -- even though, come to find out, a country-fan friend of mine had been raving about Foster & Lloyd for years. Anyway, that spectacular TV performance led me to ordering this spectacular live CD. His approach reminds me of someone whose work I'm more familiar, John Hiatt -- a HUGE compliment. And, I go through CD's like water, but this one has stayed in my rotation for months now. I'm certain this is one of the best live albums put out by any artist in the past decade. And the songs! "I'm In", "Tonight", "God Knows When". What's more, I drive down the road with my 4-year-old son now often chiming in from the back seat "Now you ready, now you ready, now you ready for the big show?" And, I know exactly what he means.

Texas music at its best.......2003-04-26

I was and am a big fan of the old group Foster and Loyd and this album brings me back to those time. Eventhough Loyd is not singing with Radney Foster anymore, this album is great. The song "Folding Money" is worth the purchase of this album. This album has a stong Texas feel and makes you want to open a Shiner Bock on a Texas summer night and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

This is a good way to get the essential Radney Foster.......2003-02-14

Although he never seems to venture into Kentucky so I have never seen him live, I would imagine that a live performance from Radney Foster would be the way to experience his energy and passionate songwriting and performance.

The song to play over and over and over again is "Texas in 1880". The original Foster-Lloyd version was tremendous but there is a slightly different edge to the version that Foster does with Pat Green that makes it even better. Of course, it is just a great song period.

Most of the bigger hits are on the album but Tonight, the last bonus track on the album is a good song too.

I've played the CD for a lot of period who did not grow up on Foster and Lloyd in their heyday like I did and they go for the music as well.

Foster Live is the way to capture him.......2003-02-12

Those of us who were big Foster and Lloyd fans want to hear the old stuff but Randy comes through with some new songs like Tonight that are catchy and fun.

My favorite Foster and Lloyd song, Texas in 1880 is enhanced in this newer and fresher track that was not recorded live and with Pat Green doing the parts that Bill Lloyd sang.

Foster has a hard core following and will be part of the music scene for many years to come. I'll thrilled that the Dixie Chicks recognize this great talents and started recording his song. Foster and Lloyd's success as songwriters have often overshadowed how good they are individual performers and I am thrilled Foster gave us a chance to hear what he sounds like live. If he ever gets close to Kentucky (his tours seem to go from one end of Texas to the other end of Texas only) I will be there.

Best Live Album.......2002-11-26

I am listening to the album as I type! Song playing? Folding Money. I am more of a new Radney Foster fan. I wasn't old enough to enjoy Foster and Lloyd. I do enjoy their recordings now! This album is the best live recording I've heard, simply because the emphasis is on the music. Not the crowd. You can sing along with it. Besides that, the songs are great! I just wish he would have did a live recording of "Texas in 1880." That is my favorite song of his. While the new version is great, although I like the old Foster and Lloyd version better. Any true country fan should buy this album. Foster is surely better than some of country's bigger starts, such as, Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, etc. I am kind of glad he has not reached that level of success, because I think that kind of success would hurt his music, at least for what I like. Anyway drop whatever you are doing and get this album at your local grocery! You will not be disappointed!

fine recording.......2001-12-21

The 1984 West End production of the classic SINGIN' IN THE RAIN was a very successful revival of a classic film which translated perfectly to the stage, and heading the cast was veteran musical performer Tommy Steele as Don Lockwood. It played at the London Palladium to packed houses.

The cast also featured Roy Castle as Cosmo Brown, Danielle Carson as Kathy Seldon and Sarah Payne as Lina Lamont. A fantastic ensemble was headed by Joyce Carpenter.

Danielle Carson brings the house down with the 'Valentine Girls' in "I Can't Give You Anything But Love", which replaced "All I Do Is Dream Of You". Ms Carson also gives a lovely treatment of "Would You?".

Tommy Steele proves his showmanship with "You Are My Lucky Star", "Singin' In The Rain", and "Fascinating Rhythm". Roy Castle is great in the comical "Make 'Em Laugh", while Sarah Payne is given time to shine in "Temptation".

Overall a fine recording.

Leave it to the Yanks, please...........2001-07-18

I've heard two London recordings of the classic Singin' in the Rain, and I have to say that they just don't translate well. In my opinion Gene Kelley made the recording and the movie. It's a musical about the Golden age of Hollywood, it just doesn't have anything outstandingly British about it. The actors give terrible American accents, and Make Em Laugh made me weep. It just isn't worth the money, kids. Stick to the OBCR.

Remixed Hits: From Elvis To Elton!.......2004-01-17

In 1977, Elton John recorded some songs with Phillies Soul producer Thom Bell, who had many hits with the Spinners and the Stylistics. Elton was not entirely pleased with the results, and a full length album was never released. From the Thom Bell Sessions, "Mama Can't Buy You Love" was released as a single in America in 1979. The song made it all the way up to number 9! From those same sessions, "Are You Ready For Love" was released as a single in England in 1979 to moderate success. With the huge catalog of Elton's major hits, this song pretty much faded from memory, especially in America.

No doubt inspired by the success of Elvis Presley's recently remixed songs, a remixed version of "Are You Ready For Love" was released in England. On August 31, 2003, the song went all the way to number one in the British charts! Listening to the song, it's easy to hear why this once overlooked song became a number one hit. The tune is catchy, the arrangement is soulful with some subtle disco touches, and Elton's vocals are strong and assured. The original song ran nearly 8 minutes long, and had to be spread out over both sides of the 1979 vinyl single. The "79 Radio Edit" takes the original version of the song and trims it down it 3 minutes and 33 seconds of it's best elements. The end result is the creation of yet another Elton John classic!

Not Really Ready.......2003-10-26

For Elton John, he has always made any kind of impact you could imagine in this industry. Whether it is winning the Oscar, or producing a mega-hit on Broadway, you can always count on him not leaving this industry any time soon. That comes within his cases of coming out of the closet in the 70's. He did it proclaiming he was gay, and this song also seems to do it as well. Are You Ready For Love, was a originally released song of Elton's from the 70's, after the moody swings of Blue Moves. Although the song is a little catchy, it isn't always something to swallow at. Still, I'm more drawn into his music from the recent records and not this one. Hopefully, another release that wasn't issued can sound a little better than this.

Are You Ready For A Good CD?.......2003-10-24

This is a great song! Included with two versions of the song (1 edit), are another song, and a music video for the title song. While the music video is rather low compared to today's standards, the song itself is worth it, and the video is just icing on the cake.

Twenty Six Years On.......2003-09-26

There are comments relating to the British release of this CD-single that miss a couple of points. This is a very different version of Are You Ready for Love than the one that is on The Complete Thom Bell Sessions. This is the version that appeared on the Thom Bell Sessions remix EP that sent Mama Can't Buy You Love into the top three.

Are You Ready for Love was always the best song from the sessions. And as good as this is, the album version, with the Spinners, is even better.

Who knows if America is ready for a pure Philly Soul disco track in 2003. But if any song is capable of hitting it big 26 years after it was recorded, this could be the one.

A great over-looked gem from Elton's recording career.

Are YOU ready for this song?.......2003-09-22

This is such an upbeat and great song. It's so happy and uplifting, and makes you want to sing and dance!! I love it and can't wait for it to come out here in North America!!!

My single all-time favorite Waylon Jennings album.......2007-03-31

I was a fan of Waylon and his music, so I have the hits and concerts on CD. But this album really expresses his universal appeal. Like Johnny Cash, Waylon was a rock & roller just as much as he was a "country singer." For starters, Marshall Tucker's "Can't You See" is classic because he doesn't tack on an obligatory guitar solo. Who could top Toy Caldwell, anyway? This version is about the vocals, about Waylon's performance, about "what that woman is doing to him." "Precious Memories"...once again cross-referencing the many powerful spirituals recorded by his fellow Highwayman Johnny Cash...is a career-best performance. The title track...Neil Young's "Harvest" track "Are You Ready For The Country" is another Cash touchstone (any true Neil Young fan remembers his appearance on the genre-busting Johnny Cash TV show). Words can't express how much I miss Waylon Jennings. Some of his albums were hit and miss. Not this one. Get it.

Classic Waylon is the best music has to offer!.......2005-03-13

ARE YOU READY FOR THE COUNTRY is advertised at Waylon's "mature" record, a transition from the outlaw status to the soft-hearted, world-weary singer. Yet, there's still enough grit on this album to show that Waylon never lost his sandpaper edge, that he could easily combine he reknowned attitude with a heavy heart.

Such songs as the Neil Young penned title track and the cover of Marshal Tucker Band's "Can't You See" are heavy on the country/rock, while "Them Old Love Songs" is a slow country ballad that'll take you back to the good ol' days. "Old Friend" is a tribute to Waylon's late friend "Buddy Holly," while "Precious Memories" is one of the few gospel tunes Waylon ever recorded (despite the fact his voice was made to sing the genre).

ARE YOU READY FOR THE COUNTRY has no downside to it. It is a collection of truly great songs sung by one of the best voices country music ever had to offer. Waylon Jennings left a huge legacy behind him, and this album is an example of Waylon at the peak of his talents.

Dreams for the Dying

ASIN: B0007WC9K0

Product Description

Eva-O's life has been one of extremes-from the darkest depths of the occult to new birth in Christ. Years of depravity with bands that mixed metallic death rock and Goth brought her to the end of her self. Damnation was the controversial first part of a two part CD release. We say controversial because it focused on the 'bad news' of sin and death. The second half of the project was titled Salvation ~ Are You Ready To Die?, that focused on the 'good news' of deliverance through Jesus Christ. Damnation in its original, extended form, was released on MCM Music in Germany in 2001, and is no longer available. It offered a bleak and eerie portrait of judgment and certain condemnation. Eva O combines dark-wave ambient keyboards with world beat percussion and industrial metal guitars to support a voice that speaks authoritatively of harsh and ugly things. The completed project was released on another German label in 2004. Though the CD concludes on a triumphant note, the feeble of heart may lack the fortitude to get that far. It was produced by Eric Clayton of Saviour Machine, and also features Josh Pyle of Audio Paradox.
