Greatest Hits? YESSSSSSSSSSSS.......2007-04-16

Perhaps at the time, these were considered their greatest hits. I've had my LP and CD for a very long time. I can't even remember. I love it. She was like an angel singing with herself. They seemed to adore one another on the TV show. She - so beautiful - and he - just beaming at her.
Maybe it's time to do another greatest hits and call it "More Greatest Hits". Other singers do it. And maybe all of us didn't agree with their first "greatest hit". Hey, you guys out there who do these kinds of things, what's taken so long?

great album.......2007-02-09

Every fan of Guitar music will appreciate this Album.
Les Paul is not only a great Guitarist he is an inventor of modern recording technology.
Dual track recording and his use of up to eight tracks made him an music industry icon.
Mary Ford's strong clear voice makes this duo complete.
A great Album!

Some Glaring Omissions!.......2005-08-06

I'm a huge fan of Les Paul and after reviewing the track list on this CD, I don't see how anyone in their right mind could call it an "all time greatest hits" collection.

While tracks such as "Mockin' Bird Hill", "The World is Waiting for the Sunrise", and "Vaya Con Dios" among the duo's best loved and best known songs, I find the omission of "How High the Moon", one the their biggest hits, to be unforgiveable. Equally astonishing is why "Dry My Tears", the theme song of Les & Mary's 50s radio show, and "Cryin'", arguably the best song Mary Ford has ever sung, were excluded. I would much rather have had those tracks included in the disc than the cover version of Patti Page's "Tennessee Waltz", and the ersatz "Meet Mr. Callaghan". It's also hard to understand why the only Les Paul solo instrumental track on this disc is "Bye Bye Blues". "Lover", the song that propelled Les into the spotlight, and "Nola", a song that enjoyed worldwide popularity, were inexplicably left out.

While this is a decent collection of the work of Les Paul and Mary Ford, it is definitely NOT their all time greatest hits. The record label ought to be sued for false advertising.

Refreshing!.......2004-12-31

I've just discovered this pair, and I'm so sorry I haven't heard them until now. Being a jazz vocalist, I'm always looking for challenging material. I have a few CDs in this genre, but the styling, and caliber of the musicians puts my other CDs to shame. I suspect k.d. lang has borrowed styling from the likes of Mary Ford, as their voices seem to lilt in the same fashion. Les Paul's ability makes me wonder if there are more than two or three guitars playing simultaneously. Many of these cuts are very subtle in their exhibition of complicated material. For those so inclined to listen, it's an auditory adventure.

What a great sound.......1999-08-25

I am so happy that Les Paul and Mary Ford records are available. I love this one.

Great songs from a great band.......2007-03-14

I've enjoyed the CD from the day I received it, it's well worth the money

Hit Singles from the Little River Band.......2007-02-14

This album is a slightly pared down version of the original Little River Band "Greatest Hits" album, which had all the songs on this CD plus "It's a Long Way There" and "Down on the Border." According to the official Little River Band web site, neither of these songs were released as singles. On the other hand, every one of the songs on this CD was at least a top 40 song, and most were top 10. I do like "It's a Long Way There," so I prefer the original version of the "Greatest Hits" album over this album, but the highly rated original version of "Greatest Hits" featuring 12 songs is available only in limited quantities; it has been replaced by an 18 song version that is much lower rated, probably because it includes many songs of questionable popularity.

The Little River Band was one of those groups whose music was a presence on my radio in the late 70s and early 80s, and still is on pop-rock and classic rock stations. In general their music is enjoyable middle-of-the-road pop. Some of their songs I consider to be outstanding, such as my favorite, "Cool Change." There are others that are more commercial, but still easy on the brain when you are looking for light rock.

The Little River Band created very good middle-of-the-road rock music in the age of disco. That music was wonderful for those of us who preferred what would eventually be called classic rock. However, the group may have had more success had they not been competing with disco.

If you listen to classic rock or remember the 70s very well, most of these songs will be familiar. Some of my other favorites are "Take it Easy on Me", "Lonesome Loser", and "Reminiscing". These are all middle of the road rock songs, occasionally tending toward light rock.

Little River Band was a product of its time and were one of a number of good groups that always are the music of the moment. Their songs are very listenable and enjoyable. If you like Al Stewart (another under-appreciated and barely remembered artist from this era)and Chicago from the late 70s, you should enjoy this compilation of Little River Band's hits.

Terribly under-rated band.......2007-01-26

I listened to these guys growing up and loved every song on this album. I didn't realize till my 20's that the same band had done all of these songs, because they were pretty different sort of like ELO. Also, it is nice to hear music that isn't angry.

A great 70's cd.......2006-11-10

This is a very good cd for your collection. I have really enjoyed having it in my collection. It sure brings back alot of memories.

Nice for the back Deck.......2006-07-21

I've been wanting a LRB album and thought this one had plenty of the songs I remembered as a kid. This has stayed in the back deck player since I got in in the spring. Great for drinking music with friends:-)

Inspirational southern Gospel.......2004-12-28

The Oak Ridge Boys can sing gospel like no other group can, and their 'original' lineup proves it on this set of tracks. Highly enjoyable and inspirational!!!

The Original Oak Ridge Boys at Their Very Best!.......2004-07-26

This collection of southern gospel classics is a re-release of the Oak Ridge Boys' "On The Sunny Banks" project, recorded in the early 1960's, well before the group's cross-over into country music. Personnel at the time these tracks were laid down included the great Smitty Gatlin (lead), Willie Wynn (tenor), William Lee Golden (baritone), Herman Harper (bass) and Tommy Fairchild (piano).

The group had been known as the Oak Ridge Boys for a relatively short period of time when these songs were released. Smitty Gatlin purchased the name "Oak Ridge Quartet" from the legendary Wally Fowler in the late 1950's, then changed it to reflect the new lineup. As fans of Southern Gospel know, Willie Wynn was one of the industry's leading tenor singers, and the late Herman Harper went on to create the premier talent management agency that still bears his name. Incidentally, contemporary Oaks fans may be interested to know that this project marked William Lee Golden's debut with the group, resulting in one of the longest tenures in either gospel or country music.

This CD contains positively stellar material from some of the greatest writers in southern gospel -- Dottie Rambo, Gov. Jimmie Davis, and Smitty Gatlin himself, performing his very own "When I Lay My Burdens Down Someday". This one is solid gold. Don't miss it!

This posthumous release gathers together the best-known inspirational numbers by "Gentleman" Jim Reeves, the East Texas troubadour who perfected traditional country's smoothed-out Nashville sound. With his inimitable velvety baritone, Reeves caresses each note in his signature laid-back style, performing with genuine confidence rather than smarm. "I'll Fly Away" marries Reeves's classic tones with Floyd Cramer-styled piano and "Padre of Old San Antone" captures the highly polished Tex-Mex flavor introduced by Reeves on his monster hit "Mexican Joe." "We Thank Thee," an eloquent ballad of gratitude, exemplifies the sophisticated country-pop that Reeves and contemporary Patsy Cline popularized, "In the Garden" shines brightly with ringing guitar coupled with Lawrence Welkian group background vocals, and "Trouble in the Amen Corner" is a first-class tearjerking talkie. --Paige La Grone

Jim Reeves At His Best.......2006-11-12

I usually do not write reviews (I don't do concerts either) but this one I could not pass up. If for whatever reason at the end of a hard day you need to relax, listen to this CD. The music has a most soothing effect and when it is over I feel real good. I am an avid Jim Reeves fan and his beautiful voice is always the key, but the song selections on this disc are wonderful.

We love Jim Reeves and his music. We just returned from a visit to a hospice where a close friend of ours is dying. We played it in our car going and coming. It is quite comforting.

Almost As Good As It Gets.......2000-01-29

The recording is excellent. Many of the songs I have heard before but there are some good ones that I haven't. I would recommend this to any Jim Reeves fan. I rated it 4 stars because I have the "Essential Jim Reeves" and I feel it deserves the 5 stars. This one isn't quite as good.

Christian or not you will enjoy this music, it has a calming affect if your having a bad,or not It's great music. It also has an important message. I can't say enough, it's just beautiful, enjoy.

Customer Reviews:

Instruments of the Orchestra - Great Reference Material!.......2007-04-04

This set lends itself to greatly enhancing one's knowledge of the orchestra, instruments in it, and their usage. I am a huge music buff, and I still picked up a great deal I previously did not know. I highly recommend this for all who wish to understand the origin of music, as well as the processes that are employed to create music!

Beginner or Expert.......2007-03-12

This CD is excellent for the beginner or expert! To be able to haear the instrumets separately and then together really provides a good education. and/or refresher. The book thaty comes with the CD is alomost worth the price by itself!

Very Informative and Enjoyable.......2006-11-20

Whether you're a music novice or pro, "The instruments of the Orchestra" is a very worthwhile purchase. The 7 CDs, with a total of 8 hours, are expertly narrated by Jeremy Siepmann. He's a great speaker, very much like the late Leonard Bernstein was. Mr. Siepmann takes you on an unforgetable musical journey covering the origins and use of the various orchestral instruments throughout musical history. The balance between his narration and a wealth of musical examples, which range from snippets to entire movements, is superb. The comprehensive enclosed booklet is excellent and faithfully follows the 7 CDs in content. Even with my 40+ years of music training I still learned new things from this wonderful collection. Considering the excellence of the content, and a cost that translates to about $5 per disc, this collection is a great value. Grab it, you won't regret that you did. Five solid stars!

Frank's view.......2006-08-19

This boxed set of CD's with booklet achieved all I had hoped that it would. There are good samples of individual instruments and well done commentary on each. The only drawback was that some of the samples were too brief and could have been longer, hoiwever I guess this fits in with time constraints of the medium. It has given me a lot of clues as to future purchases of CD's for listening to individual instruments. Altogeth a satisfactory purchase and a welcome addition to my collection.

Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08

I've listened to classical music for years and am interested in composition. I bought this CD set to learn how an orchestra and its instruments work. I thought the CDs would be a nice but boring lecture. They aren't! Not only are they FUN but they are informative as well. I learned a huge amount from each CD and couldn't wait to listen to the next one.

The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!

I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.

Swing Time.......2007-03-02

True Texas style swing. Buy it and start dancin'. You'll be glad you did.

Country Swing at its very best!!!.......2007-01-16

Asleep at the wheel scores big time, again! If ever there was group that could begin to fill the shoes of old time country swing, AATW would have to be right there at the top of the heap, without a doubt. If you like good swing & good fiddle, this CD is a must.

Under the X in Texas.......2007-01-11

Anything by Bob Wills is high on our list, and nobody does Bob better than Asleep at the Wheel. Great compilation of some of the greats of the greats.

Good compilation.......2002-11-06

Swing Time is a good compilation of some of the best songs from three other albums: 10, Western Standard Time, and their out-of-print 1974 Epic self-titled album. It's hard for an individual to put together a representative "best of" collection for a group like Asleep At The Wheel because they've jumped around from one label to the next, and the labels certainly wouldn't want to cooperate with each other. This is a good pick to represent the best of their work for Sony/Epic, if you don't want to collect all their recordings.

Only 80% good........2001-12-01

Some good stuff (especially "House of Blue Lights"), but there are better covers of "San Antonio Rose", "Walkin' the Floor Over You", and especially "Hot Rod Lincoln" (by Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen ,almost as good as the original) out there.

Ferranate & Teicher CD.......2007-02-24

Wonderful music. Takes me back to the sixties...too bad Ferrante & Teicher are not still performing. I saw them perform twice and both times was a "standing ovation" performance.

A Great Piano Duet.......2001-11-10

"Ferrante & Teicher's All Time Greatest Hits" presents a pleasant set of familiar show tunes for listening pleasure. The paired pianos of Ferrante & Teicher are supplemented by instrumental accompaniment. Bouncy enough to attract your attention but subdued enough to serve as background music, this disc provides a most entertaining collection of hits from this talented duet.

Not the original, but I still love it!.......2007-03-15

Well, I was disappointed to find out when I received this CD that it wasn't a rerelease of the original album. I saw the title and purchased it without looking at the song contents. OH well, it is still a great album, just not what I was looking for, but I will keep it as I love Dottie West! I hope they eventually do a rerelease of the original album, cause when they do I will buy it...but until then I will make sure to view song contents from now on so I don't do this again!

A Few Fallen Stars.......2007-01-24

With all due respect to the dearly departed Dottie West, and the still livin' Kenny Rogers, this album is in my opinion deserves only 1 star if that. If you like remakes of Anne Murray- with YOU NEEDED ME, and (HEY WON'T YOU PLAY) ANOTHER SOMEBODY DONE SOMEBODY WRONG SONG- from BJ Thomas, to LET IT BE ME- The Everly Bros. The Righteous Bros, and Buck Owens, then you will enjoy this CD. With BREAD'S - BABY I'M A WANT YOU- the only person in my book that has ever done that song any justice is Charly McClain off her 1979 ALONE TOO LONG Lp. Dottie West and Kenny Rogers are good in any respect.. but not here in this Lp. This LP is a few fallen stars of a good hit.

Classic '70's hits.......2006-02-02

This is a great collection of duets by Kenny Rogers and Dottie West, a duo who were hugely popular in the late-70s, both as solo singers and together. This album features their three Number 1 hits, "Everytime two fools collide", "All I ever need is you" and "What are we doing in love". Also featured is their top 5 "Anyone who isn't me tonight" and another popular cut "'Til I can make it on my own". Country fans will be familiar with most of the material here, a lot of pop fans too.
My favorite cut has to be "Let it be me", both singers are at their best on this performance, and it would have been great to use this as the closing track, but een so, this collection is great.

In the 1990's EMI issued a 20 track collection of duets by Kenny and Dottie in the UK which contained both of their studio albums from 1978 and 1979, and ultimately 9 of the 10 cuts here (plus 11 others) however, that is long out of print. The only "extra" you get here is "What are we doing in love", as it didn't appear on either album, but was a single release from 1981.

This CD, however, is cheaply priced, but the music is gourmet.

Budget compilation of original recordings.......2005-08-01

It seems that some customers have been misled by the title, which corresponds to that of the first duets album recorded together by Kenny and Dottie. Although this is not a re-issue of that original album, these are definitely their original recordings. Most of the tracks here are actually taken from their second duets album, Classics, which consisted mainly of covers of famous songs.

So here you get the two big hits from their first duets album (Every time two fools collide, Anyone who isn't me tonight), their last duet hit (What are we doing in love), which didn't appear on either of their two duet albums - it came later - and covers of You needed me, All I ever need is you, Hey won't you play another somebody done somebody wrong song, Let it be me, Till I can make it on my own and You've lost that loving feeling. Some of these covers were big hits for Kenny and Dottie.

Though the packaging is modest without liner notes or credits (this is a budget collection), this collection provides a good sample of the duets that Kenny and Dottie recorded together. Many of these tracks (and some not included here) can be found tucked away in solo compilations by Kenny and Dottie but this provides a rare opportunity to hear their duets as a collection. It'll do until a more complete collection is released - especially at the price.

NOT THE ORIGINAL..........2003-12-05

As much as I love the music of Kenny Rogers and Dottie West, this is NOT THE ORIGINAL album that was released in 1978 under the same title. The original album featured a beige background, with Dottie leaning up on Kenny's shoulder. This is deliberate deception on the part of EMI to make you think you are getting the original album, when in fact, what you are really getting is a compilation of the first album (Every Time Two Fools Collide) from 1978 and their second one, "Classics", from 1979. I don't understand why these companies continue to do this. The same goes for the Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton "Once Upon a Christmas" album. Most of Kenny's solo songs have been omitted entirely, replaced with a Dolly Parton song (Hard Candy Christmas) which wasn't even part of the original LP release in 1984! What's going on? This is precisely the reason I hang on to my old 8-tracks and vinyl LP's, as tired and wore out as they may be. Now, getting back on track here, the ORIGINAL "Every Time Two Fools Collide" album contained these tracks in the following order:

1. Every Time Two Fools Collide
2. You And Me
3. What's Wrong With Us Today
4. Beautiful Lies
5. That's The Way It Could Have Been
6. Why Don't We Go Somewhere And Love
7. Baby I'm A Want You
8. Anyone Who Isn't Me Tonight
9. The Loving Gift
10 We Love Each Other.

That's the way I remember it folks, and that's the way it should have been re-issued. I'm sorry, but either release the original album in its entirety without butchering it up or omitting songs, or just don't even bother. I'm tired of wasting my time and money on deceptive and sly business practices from the music industry.
