Album Description

Real railroads haul passengers, freight, and mail. The trains of our music and literature also carry symbols: they can represent freedom and wanderlust, eros, machismo, escape, work, the ultimate journey that marks life's end, or nostalgia for a bygone age. This collection of songs about trains and railroads offers some of each of these, from the turn-of-the-century tale of Casey Jones to the "disappearing railroad blues" of the 1970s' "City of New Orleans." Rounder's Classic Railroad Songs series proudly presents some of the best and most beloved train songs recorded since 1930. Norm Cohen, author of Long Steel Rail: The Railroad in American Folksong shares his extensive knowledge in the booklet notes. Artists: Hank Snow, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, Flatt & Scruggs, the Delmore Brothers and Wayne Raney, Steve Goodman, Sleepy LaBeef , Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys, the Whitstein Brothers, the Carter Family, Tony Rice, Jim & Jesse, the Stanley Brothers, Mary McCaslin. Also available: Steel Rails: Classic Railroad Songs, V. 1, Rounder 1128.

Great songs, mostly in a traditional country style.......2002-10-05

Rounder have released several excellent compilations of train songs, covering folk, blues, country and bluegrass styles, each including comprehensive liner notes from Norm Cohen, who wrote a book about trains songs (long out of print, unfortunately).

This particular collection is prefominately traditional country, though Sleepy LaBeef provides a rockabilly cover of Mystery train and there are a few bluegrass tracks too.

Johnny Cash (who has recorded many train songs) opens the set with Casey Jones, a song which (like other old songs, especially Frankie and Johnny) exists with different lyrics - if you have other Casey Jones songs, listen carefully and comapare.

Steve Goodman wrote City of New Orleans, and it's good to see his own recording of the song included here. I like Willie Nelson's version best, but that version is easy to find while Steve's is much rarer - and still worth hearing.

Patsy Cline sings a fine version of Life's railway to heaven (not really a train song, but who cares?).

The brilliant but obscure folk-country singer Mary McCaslin sings The Cannonball - a song she wrote herself about the passing of the steam age.

There are so many other great songs here, but I'll not waste your time going through them all - if you have any interest in train songs, just buy this and all the other Rounder train collections.

Another solid collection from Rounder.......2000-07-12

There's not a clunker on here, and it's good to see "City Of New Orleans", what Johnny Cash calls "the best damn train song ever written."

"Mystery Train" makes another appearance on Volume 3, but that's more than forgiveable. I wouldn't mind an entire album of "Mystery Train" versions, a la Rhino's "Louie Louie" album.

Album Description

The Holocaust Cantata uses the words and music of actual concentration camp inmates to create a wholly original and powerful work. Using material found within the archives of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Donald McCullough's Holocaust Cantata traverses one of the bleakest episodes in human history. Yet the piece also evokes a sense of music's life-affirming power, even in the face of absolute despair, to express what words alone cannot.

McCullough discovered the material within the vast Aleksander Kulisiewicz collection in the museum's archives. Kulisiewicz himself had performed as a kind of camp troubador during his own incarceration at Sachsenhausen, and, after the war, spent several years interviewing fellow survivors about music in the camps, gathering together the scattered remnants of this music.

As McCullough painstakingly sifted through this material-much of which was uncatalogued-the arresting melodies and compelling testimonies that make up the Holocaust Cantata gradually began to emerge. "I wanted the Cantata to speak with a sense of immediacy," says McCullough, explaining his decision to set the choral texts and spoken testimonies in English, and his hope is that the piece may "transform statistics into people in the minds of the Cantata's listeners, and perhaps be a part of making it more difficult for such a horror ever to occur again." The Washington Post, reviewing the world premiere in March 1998, called it "an experience that should linger long in the audience's memory and should be regularly revived."

A Timely Performance.......2001-11-18

In August of 2001, the choral group I sing with began practicing this work for performance on Veteran's Day Nov 11. We rehearse on Tuesday nights. As we all know on Tuesday Sept 11 the world change forever. Of course rehearsal was cancelled. When we returned the next Tuesday - a piece that we all thought was so powerful became more so. The first song contains the words "the fires burning, the iron furnace..". The paralells to what happened were evident. As one of the reviewers noted " so this can never happen again", well it has, only much faster, in one single day. Hate caused both events. People need to hear this CD and really listen to the words of the songs and the narration, and maybe we can prevent this from happening again and again. A MUST HEAR FOR ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD. The music and lyics came from the hearts and the lives of the prisoners.This is a beautiful tribute to them.

Outstanding; a soon to be classic.......2000-05-04

Beautifully written and performed! This recording and an encore live performance of this inspiring work were downright demanded by audiences after the premiere. I rate it a "strong buy."

Uninspired tedium.......2000-04-28

McCullough has appropriated other people's material, "choralized" it, and appears to be attempting to capitalize on a wave of political correctness to buy himself a Grammy nomination. There are a few nice tunes scattered throughout this tedious piece, but overall the interpretation is lifeless, unimaginative, and uninspired, almost clinical. Here's hoping that victims of the Shoah can find a more suitable expression of their music than McCullough has tried to give them. They deserve better than this.

Holocaust Cantata: A Five Star Work of Art.......2000-01-07

For me, the Holocaust Cantata is one of those artistic representations of that cataclysmic period that evokes an even stronger picture of the horrors of the Holocaust then do many pictures in newspapers and museum exhibits. I think this is because the Cantata is poetry-it's message sounds a spare and powerful truth. I am grateful to Mr. McCullough for his vision and energy in bringing about the Holocaust Cantata.

An excerpt from my liner notes..........1999-11-25

I was present at the March 1998 Kennedy Center premiere of this extraordinary work, and subsequently wrote the liner notes for the CD. Because of the unusual nature of this recording-which I think captures the haunting beauty of this work-I believe that others would be interested in reading an excerpt from my notes on the music. Please note that I am posting this material with the permission of the composer, Donald McCullough:

Notes on the Music

It is well-known that during the Holocaust inmates wrote music while incarcerated in concentration camps. Much of it has since been recorded. At Theresienstadt, for instance-the infamous "Paradise Ghetto"-the Nazis organized an orchestra made up of young musicians who had studied under such luminaries as Leos Janacek and Arnold Schoenberg. Most of these musicians, among them such promising students as Gideon Klein and Viktor Ullmann, perished during the Holocaust, leaving behind but a few pieces, composed under duress and co-opted by the Nazis for their own propaganda purposes. What might they have eventually accomplished had they survived? Such classical music-beautiful as it is-was the product of formally trained musicians. What about the music of the common man-music embraced by the whole community and passed secretly by aural transmission-music that carried with it powerful words revealing different aspects of camp life, or expressing the inmates' innermost feelings, of mourning, or resistance, or patriotism? Was there other Holocaust music, akin to the spirituals that sprang from slavery in America, that spoke with the same startling immediacy to express the agony of the victims of the Nazi regime?...

McCullough's [quest to answer this question] began with a call to Bret Werb, musicologist at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, who revealed the existence of the Aleksander Kulisiewicz collection in the museum archives. Kulisiewicz had traveled about Europe during the postwar period collecting and preserving what he could of the music that had emerged from the Holocaust concentration camps, but little was known about the music itself.

McCullough's first task, then, was to immerse himself in the collection, playing through the hundreds of tunes. He was encouraged to find that they contained some compelling melodies, and for the first time he began to wonder whether a choral cantata-perhaps reflecting the role of music in the camps or evoking the daily lives of these people-might emerge from the material. But he still had no idea what lay within the accompanying text.

At some point, someone had added a rough, English-language index to the collection, but the materials themselves were mostly in Polish. Marcin Zmudzki, a young Pole, was engaged to sift through the mountain of texts. McCullough told the translator that he was interested in anything that had to do with camp life, especially as it related to music. As he recalls, "It was my good fortune that not only was Marcin an excellent translator, but also he had a sense for poetry and thus grasped, very quickly, the type of material I was seeking."

In addition to music, Kulisiewicz also collected interviews, articles, and letters that had anything to do with camp life. With this wealth of material, McCullough decided to place between each musical arrangement readings that also spoke of life in the camps. After considering and rejecting literally hundreds of documents, he finally decided that he had what he needed from the archives. But in a sense, the real work was just beginning. "Because I wanted the Cantata to speak with a sense of immediacy," says McCullough, "I thought it should be sung in English. But before I could arrange a single note of it, I needed to have singable translations. Here I employed the talents of lyricist Denny Clark, who at first worked with Marcin, getting a word by word translation. Knowing which words appear on which notes is important in keeping the overall impact of the song." A trained singer himself, Clark was able to make transliterations to ensure that the best vowels for singing fell on the proper notes, all while remaining faithful to the original text. It was an immensely complicated task....

A few words about the structure of the Cantata. As you listen you should not look for a plot, as such. Because each song and reading represents a different person, a different place, and a different time in the Holocaust experience, you should be wary about viewing the entire piece as a streaming narrative. Nonetheless, certain common truths will begin to emerge, and no doubt others will come to you with each successive hearing. Among these is the certainty that these are nakedly honest responses to the most unthinkable of acts. Sometimes the responses are jarring; who could find humor amid such horror? And yet humor-albeit dark in nature-undoubtedly exists within this work. Nevertheless the inmates' responses never sink to the level of triteness. For them, music functioned as something much more than just a light in the darkness; its very existence was a form of spiritual resistance in an environment where such resistance risked instant extermination.

McCullough's hope is that this work may "transform statistics into people in the minds of the Cantata's listeners, and perhaps be a part of making it more difficult for such a horror ever to occur again." In the end, for me, the work flows inexorably back to its source: it is the voice of humanity, crying out to be heard.

Album Description

Budget-price compilation featuring 14 tracks including, 'Everybody's Rockin'', 'Old Ways' & 'Bound For Glory'. Universal. 2001.

Album Details

Fourteen track assemblage of cuts from Young's years on Geffen Records. He was all over the musical map in this period, experimenting with futuristic electronics, reverting to rockabilly or going even further back to his love of country music. Whatever the facade, it's the song itself that will capture your ear and this turns out to be a great value for those who may have glossed over this important era of his career.

Customer Reviews:

Strictly album tracks and poorly chosen.......2007-04-10

This is an barely passable overview of the Geffen years. It focuses on the wrong albums for the wrong reasons and misses most of the decent material from admittedly spotty albums. The North American compilation of Young's 80s work, Lucky Thirteen, is far superior - it covers more territory (including material from Landing on Water and a pair of great live takes with the Bluenotes), contains rarities and outtakes that usually surpass the album tracks, and works amazingly well as an album on its own. Two of this album's best tracks, Around the World and Transformer Man, are shared with Lucky Thirteen. Buy this compilation only after you pick that one up, and only if you have no plans of picking up the individual albums.

How the songlist breaks down:
From Trans: Little Thing Called Love, Like an Inca, Transformer Man
From Everybody's Rockin': Everybody's Rockin', Mystery Train, Rainin' in My Heart, Bright Lights Big City, Betty Lou's Got a New Pair of Shoes
From Life: Around the World
From Old Ways: California Sunset, My Boy, Old Ways, Once an Angel, Bound for Glory

Trans is three parts synth album and one part terrible hawaii-rock(?) (leftovers from the mercifully cancelled Island in the Sun). This comp selects two of the three Hawaii tracks. Though Like an Inca (an eviscerated version of the unreleased Hitchhiker) is the best of a bad lot, Computer Age or the original version of Sample and Hold would have been much better choices than the execrable "Little Thing Called Love", which sounds like a song written for Sesame Street that its producers rejected for inanity. Augh. "Tranformer Man" is a wonderful song, but it's also included on Lucky Thirteen.

Landing on Water is an acquired taste, but has some good material, and its absence from this compilation is unwarranted. This compilation contains nearly half of the half-hearted country album Old Ways, and not its better half. This album also includes half of the silly fun Everybody's Rockin' album, but not that album's best tracks, Wonderin' and Payola Blues.

In short: look elsewhere first.

Neil, the forgotten years........2005-10-17

This is actually a collection of some of his less popular 80's material. Songs are drawn from the albums "Trans", "Old Ways", "Everybody's Rockin'", and elswhere. His label had problems with some of these songs not sounding "Neil" enough, and though it's not "After The Gold Rush", it's no doubt still Neil. This disc is definitely short on hits, but "Old Ways" and "Transformer Man" are classic, and there's also the title track, which is a cover of the great old Elvis song. While I might not call this essential, it is the missing link between his classic 70's period, and his late 80's "comeback".

The best ever version.......2002-06-07

The wonderful cast transports you to the realms of Gilbert and Sullivan, to make you feel that you are experiencing a first night in 1881! John Reed, as Bunthorne, an aesthetic poet is superb, camp, subversive and a complete fraud. If anyone is not aware, the story of the opera is based upon the idiosyncracies of the Aesthetic movement in England of the 1880's and Gilbert used the public parodies of his friend Oscar Wilde as his major source. The rest of the cast, chorus and orchestra , under the long experienced 'Goddie' are superlative and make for one of the finest line-ups in D'Oyly Carte history. Revel and enjoy, for this is quite the best.

The Golden Cast of D'Oyly Carte!.......1999-04-13

My wish had always been to see John Reed and the D'Oyly Carte Company in a performance of Patience. My mother had done so, remarking that, 'You'd need patience to watch it', she was coloured in her opinion, since she wanted to see 'The Mikado', but had gotten the wrong tickets! The recording, made in 1961, is superb in every detail. You are with the cast, on stage, in the auditorium, it is such a 'live' performance. The dialogue is delivered exquisitely, whilst the singing is uniformerly of the highest standard. I recently portrayed 'Bunthorne' and throughout my performances, I felt that I was continuing the legacy of Gilbert and Sullivan. All the past history of performers were there. I feel that Patience is a magical Savoy Opera. Do not miss the opportunity to own such a definitive performance. Maybe the subject of the 'Art Nouveau' periodof Victorian England is dated, but as one critic has already stated, every generation 'throws up' its poseures, to be knocked. 'Ah, me! lack aday!' BUY IT!

The Definitive Recording.......1998-12-09

For those who prefer the traditional Savoyard renderings of the G&S canon, this is far and away the best recording of this parody of the cult of celebrity. John Reed leads the cast as a delightful Bunthorne, and the recording contains all of the opera's dialogue. "HMS Pinafore," "The Mikado," and "The Pirates of Penzance" may be better known, but "Patience" is deserving of a wider audience.

excellent memphis blues.......2000-03-09

Vocalist Junior Paker cut some of the finest blues/R&B records ever laid to wax in the 50's and early 60's and was a dominant influence on legions of blues, R&B, and soul artists-Bobby Bland, Otis Rush, and Al Green, to name a few. Sadly, he remains to this day an unsung hero in a genre of unsung heroes, probabaly because he was never big with white rock musicians. On the upside, the 1990's saw a number of fine Parker compilations released, "Mystery Train" being one of them. "Mystery Train" consists of the brooding title track(yes, later covered by Elvis) and everything else Parker cut for Sam Phillip's Sun label in the early 50's. These tracks are a brilliant hybrid of country and urban blues stylings. Despite uniformly superb performances, these sessions yielded only two R&B chart entries-the aformentioned title track and "Feelin' Good," a John Lee Hooker inspired boogie. Perhaps the finest track from these sessions, though, is "Love My Baby," a wild proto-rockabilly number featuring the nasty, distorted, twin guitar attack of Floyd Murphy and Pat Hare. Hare's punishing fretboard work is also heard to good effect on an included James Cotton Sun single, "Cotton Crop Blues" and Hare's only solo side, the now darkly ironic(it's a long story)"I'm Gonna Murder My Baby." All in all, this music is as powerful and unique as anything cut by any of Sun's more famous artists.

American Rebel and Rock 'n' Roll Outlaw, Micheal Ubaldini's prolific recorded output began with "Mystery Train" in 1994. Produced by Stray Cat Lee Rocker and featuring guest guitarist Brian Setzer, the album is comparable in places to some of the work that the two aforementioned feline strutters went on to record as solo artists. It's American Roots Rock which blends in Country, Blues and Rockabilly, and displays Ubladini's shining talents as a guitar player, singer and songwriter. This expanded version includes previously unissued material from the same sessions, as well as the complete original album.
