Fantastic!.......2007-05-27

I have searched everywhere for this soundtrack in NZ and finally found it on Amazon... and it was so worth the search and wait. Link Wray, Santana, Los Lobos and Dire Straits ... great compilation thats Mexican enough for summer BBQs!

Enjoyable Album.......2007-04-10

I'm a big fan of Los Lobos, and even though there isn't enough of them playing on this sound track, they did write the music, so I really enjoyed it. If you enjoy the El Mariachi movie trilogy, you'll enjoy this soundtrack.

Get This Soundtrack.......2007-01-21

Robert Rodriguez puts together a killer soundtrack that is in the vein of Dusk Unitl Dawn or Kill Bill. Great music that flows wonderfully. This CD has sat in the car CD changer for a month now and I still like it everytime.

Lots of Los Lobos. A great song by Santana called Bella that is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever done by Carlos. The Dire Straights and Latin Playboys songs are also excellent. A great mix of music that blends styles and groups and keeps the whole CD interesting.

If you like the Dusk Until Dawn soundtrack get this one - if you like this one, likewise, get Dusk Till Dawn.

Rodriguez and Tarrintino rule!

Good Soundtrack.......2007-01-15

Good Soundtrack, I loved it, the music of this film is really good

Desperado.......2007-01-04

I loved this soundtrack and I loved the movie - very enjoyable listening and humorous in parts - I recommend it.

If ever a group of musicians had a clear vision of where they wanted to go and how to get there, it was these southern California boys who built a steady rolling FM hit factory on basic tenets of Gram Parsons's invention of country-rock. For their second album, the group decided concept was most important and set out to portray themselves as keepers of the old West--their outlaw image a natural for those born unto rock and roll soil. The hits are lazy, decadent, and unrepentant; "Tequila Sunrise" and the title track, feature the flawless harmonies and strong vocals of Glenn Frey and Don Henley. --Rob O'Connor

whatever happened to Saturday night?.......2007-04-01

This is one of the Eagles best albums. All the songs are strong and for me, the problem with some of the Eagles songs is that they sound too much like all the other soft rock songs of the 70's(check out some of the songs on their first and The Long Run). This album though dosesn't have that problem with every tune being a classic. This is one of those albums that you put in and before you know it, it's over. the version I would recommend is the version in the box set where all of their albums are made to look like the original lps from when I first owned them.

One of the seventies' landmark albums............2007-03-27

"Desperado" was one of the most important albums of the seventies in that it firmly established the Eagles as something more than Linda Rondstadt's backup band. From the title track to "Saturday Night" (a live version of which is done very well on 1980's "Eagles Live"....) there isn't a stinker amongst the mix. In fact, one of my favorite lines from the album is from "Certain Kind of Fool: "....and it's a certain kind of fool that likes to hear the sound of his own name....." (How many politicians and celebrities can we apply THAT to...)

All in all, it's a very enjoyable album in the Poco/Pure Prarie League vein.....

The Eagles' best.......2007-03-25

This has been my all-time favorite album since it was released. There are other Eagles songs that are at the highest level (well, excluding chants by spiritual masters), but this is unique in having the entire album revolve around one theme. I can do without the cacophonous (sp?) ending of "Out of Control", but overall the album is unsurpassed.

Way better than Hotel California!.......2007-01-17

I'm not really a fan of this kind of music, you know country pop. The only country music I listen to is bluegrass. Anyway, the lyrics are really cheezey but I don't care. Great playing, great melodies, and great singing. Do not buy Hotel California! This is so much better! Hotel California is quite possibly one of the most overated albums ever!

The Eagles' sophomore set.......2006-12-18

Here on the Eagles' sophomore set,released in 1973 are three Top 20 hits,the title track(later covered by Kenny Rogers and Linda Ronstadt,separately),DOOLIN 'DALTON and TEQUILA SUNRISE. Those songs were recycled for the 2003 double-CD compilation VERY BEST OF THE EAGLES. The four members from left to right in the cover photo: Don Henley,Joe Walsh,Glenn Frey and Bernie Leadon sure look tough in the photo! The other songs are good.

Album Description

In the midst of the polished sounds of the progressive country music era of the 1970's, Johnny Rodriguez emerged with a distinctive brand of traditional country reflective of his Tex-Mex roots, scoring a remarkable six number one and twenty top-ten hits during the 1970's and early 1980's. Desperado: A Decade Of Hits contains 12 of Johnny Rodriguez's greatest hits, from his top-ten debut single "Pass Me By (If You're Only Passing Through)" to chart-topping country music standards such as "That's The Way Love Goes" and "Just Get Up And Close The Door", and a bonus DVD with the music video for "Run For The Border".

A Decade Of Hits? Ah...not quite.......2007-05-16

Nothing fries me more than buying what you think is a hits compilation, only to discover when you've torn the packaging off and put it in your CD player that what it REALLY is is a re-recording of a person's major hits done 20 years after the original recordings, when a voice is completely different. Sure, Johnny covers a lot of his own songs here, but his range is gone, and in some places, it barely sounds like the Rodriguez we've come to know and love. I loathe people that have to resort to this kind of trickery to dupe the music-buying public into thinking they're getting the original, genuine article.

I was well pleased with the CD reviewing some old favorites of Johnny's as I haven't heard any of his accomplishments for some time. Good CD, fair price and good memories.

Good music, but wait a second.......2005-08-31

What we have here is a slick repackaging for Johnny Rodriguez's release from the early 1990's titled "Run for the Boarder." None of the songs here are the orginal hit recordings. While some of the songs have never been recorded before, the big named songs here are totally remakes.

Now they are excellent remakes, and the new songs are excellent. But it gets a low rating simply because it is a cheap lie. Tryin to steal the money of country fans who aren't properly educated in the art of picking out good collections.

Que Viva Zarzuela!!.......2006-11-10

Zarzuela is Spanish operetta. This is a fine collection of choruses and preludes from various famous Zarzuelas, particularly for a beginner in the genre. If however you have been "enrollado" in Zarzuela for a while it's a lot like popular classics or "Opera Goes to the Movies" It'll be stuff you've heard before. Maestro Roa knows how to conduct with finess and fire, whichever is required and the performances are easy to appreciate and very easy to understand the lyrics if you speak Spanish. I highly reccommend this disc to anyone who wants to take away the veil of mystery surrounding Zarzuela and start exploring on your own. This disc is an excellent place to begin!

Preludes & Choruses From Zarzuelas.......2006-07-17

Preludes & Choruses From Zarzuelas~ Miguel Roa was something quite new to me. Having mostly listened to classical from France, Germany, Austria, Russia and Italy I had not listened much to Spanish composers. The end result is that the music is very easy to listen to but feels light and I feel that it sounds a bit to much like movie soundtrack music. The book-let is quite well done and the painting on the front is splendid. The liner notes and the essay inside are well done and it is not overlong or too verbose. I must say that I had never ever heard of any of these composers before and it was a with an adventurous spirit that I started listening to this recording and to my pleasant surprise it was quite good and I therefore give it 4 out 5 stars.

The Dance of the Lovers is Here!.......2003-09-07

For many years an ancient 78 of one of the items found on this welcome CD was the most requested item for playing on the national radio broadcaster in Australia. Requests for full details of the item always yielded an announcement that everything on the record label was printed in Spanish, that there was not much of it, and all that could be deciphered and translated approximated to "The Dance of the Lovers".

Well, the same item features on Track 13 of this CD in a digitally recorded 1999 Madrid recording, and full information is provided about it and the other zarzuela excerpts in notes by Manuel Garcia Franco. This once popular item on Australian airwaves is a simple verse and chorus, the first in the minor and the second in the major mode. Framed in a short introduction and coda, it is sung twice, and what the female chorus members sing the first time is sung by the male chorus members the second time, and vice versa.

Although the Spanish composers of the zarzuela excerpts included here are represented in my collections by solo items from singers such as Supervia and de los Angeles, the choruses and orchestral excerpts found on this CD are all new to my ears. I have never seen a zarzuela and, welcoming and recommending this collection of samples, would like to read reviews or communications from others with better information.

¡Olé!.......2003-02-26

I know almost nothing about zarzuelas, other than that they're Spanish light operas, immensely popular in Spanish-speaking areas and virtually unknown everywhere else. Why they didn't travel and Viennese operetta did, I'll never know; they're a heckuva lot more exciting!

If this disc is any indication, the music, the rhythm, the overall feeling of zarzuela music is infectious. I put this CD on and then couldn't stop listening to it. According to the liner notes, these orchestral selections and choruses are among the best-known from this genre. I can see why they're popular. The playing and singing of the Comunidad de Madrid Orchestra and Chorus are exemplary.

His first hit came in 1972 with the Top 10 "Pass Me By (If You're Only Passing Through)". Over the next five years, he had a hot streak of a dozen back-to-back Top 5 hits, including the #1 "Ridin' My Thumb To Mexico". Lone Star Desperado includes all six of Rodriguez's chart-topping classics, plus four more Top 10 country hits.

Some Good Country Rock, But . . ........2003-09-08

Time-Life's DESPERADO: THE BEST OF COUNTRY ROCK suffers two problems: it has a somewhat arbitrary determination of what makes country rock, and some of country rock's most noted performers are not in the compilation. One would expect to find the Eagles, Gram Parsons, Steve Earle, the Outlaws, the Flying Burrito Brothers, early Jackson Browne, and even the Charlie Daniels Band in such a compilation, but they are not here. Instead, we find some of the members of some of these groups here in other efforts, such as J. D. Souther as a solo act or the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band. Some of the song choices are problematic as well. Why, for example, do we get an extended version of Billy Swan's "I Can Help" but truncated single versions of the Pure Prairie League's "Amie" and the Marshall Tucker Band's "Heard It in a Love Song"? Linda Ronstadt DID perform some country rock, but "Blue Bayou" would not be the best example (maybe her cover of the Eagles' "Desperado" or the Warren Zevon-penned "Poor, Poor Pitiful Me" would better suit). And why include Nicolette Larson's acoustic disco cover of Neil Young's "Lotta Love" when his original version better fits the country rock genre? Easily half the songs on this album belong with the post-URBAN COWBOY country pop era instead of the country rock genre. If you want a true "best of country rock," mine this disc for nuggets such as Roseanne Cash, the Byrds, and the Amazing Rhythm Aces as you prepare your own mix CD.

Thick 12 string Jazz guitar playing on all pistons.......2001-08-25

I don't know if McLaughlin influenced this guy or he influenced McLaughlin and Larry Coryell or it was a mutual influence or what, all these cats living in and around the New York scene at the time, but aside from McLaughlin and Coryell, Martino is the fastest, most technically adept Jazz guitar player of this late '60s period. Imagine someone with the technique of what Mike Stern has today back in 1969 playing on a 12 string with a somewhat funky band that is just about to enter fusion territory but is still very much in the Miles Davis "Files de Kilimanjaro" mode rather than "Bitches Brew," and you have yourself a good picture of what "Desperado" is all about. The two most smokin' tunes "BlackJack," and "Oleo" are ABSOLUTE MUSTS in any jazz guitar afficionado's collection, they are flat-out classics, and the moody, progressive title track points the way to a more mellow Jazz-rock sound that Martino was to perfect in the '70s.

Pretty Wild Stuff... but..........2000-07-28

O.K. Here's the question... you walk into a Jazz club, you hear this pretty wild, cooking and LONG solo, and its grooving, though you have no idea what the tune is... it ends, you ask a member of the band what it was and they tell you... MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB. Cooking solo, but didn't sound much like MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB... or have a MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMBish quality, so it gets you thinking.

This my friend is the essence of Pat Martino. He can go way way out there and do some incredibly amazing things, but basically the tunes don't matter. They're vehicles for his ingenuine soloing abilities.

Should we hold it against him ? It depends on the situation. This is his album and his showcase. Its highly entertaining, there are some wild ideas and indeep he IS a musician's musician. The tunes on this album provide excellent vehicles for his improvisational prowess... the only fault I have against his style that 16th notes may be impressive, but often rhythmically nothing is happening even if the tune is in an odd key. Its a stream of notes. Its like talking in a mono-tone and filling in the blank. - - However, that's his style, and he's doing some astounding fetes.

So how should I rate this album ? it depends who you are and what kind of a mood you're in. Some of the tunes are quite funky and far out and groovy and fun to listen to, on the other hand, if you're in the wrong mood this album (like a lot of Martino's stuff) is a collasal headache waiting to happen with just a sputter of notes with appropriate scales that enable the stream of notes to get from point A to point B in the required number of measures. - - Mechanical, but jeez, sure wish I could do that.

In conclusion... if you're interested in hearing OLEO because you like the tune OLEO and want to hear Pat solo on it, fa-getta-boutit, but if you want to hear an almost Dolphy/Zappa-esque off center half bebop half fusion side of the Jazz guitar, than get it.

a great and gritty guitar album.......2000-07-21

After pulling "DESPERADO" from the bottom of a buried pile of CD's in my closet, I was reminded that this particular album is one my favorite Pat Martino recordings. In truth, every album Pat has ever made has a whole lot of fantastic playing but this one has some real unusual characteristics. He isn't playing his standard semi-hollow body jazz guitar but a 12-string electric guitar that produces a somewhat "grungy" and unique sound, which is perfectly in keeping with the "bar band" feeling his group gives off. The only real bop tune Pat plays is "Oleo". Other than that, he concentrates on five self-penned tunes showing the influence of the (then, c. 1970 ) fairly recent modal jazz-rock being played by Miles Davis. Compositionally, "Portrait of Diana" is a really moving ballad; probably the greatest tune Pat ever wrote. I recommend skipping the first track ( "Blackjack" ), as it's by far the weakest cut. Better to try out tracks 4-6 to get a flavor of what this album's really about.

As for the playing, Pat's incredibly fluent and asymmetrical bop lines ( and they ALWAYS swing! ) are linked with a very strong feeling for the blues ( of the jazz variety ) he grew up with in his native Philadelphia, where he had a reputation as a prodigy during the mid sixties. With Pat's great guitar playing combined with the garage band spontaneity, "DESPERADO" will perhaps be of interest to fans of Charlie Hunter or other "acid jazz" musicians. Fans of the "post-Wes" jazz guitar tradition ( George Benson, Jack Wilkins, et al ) will definitely appreciate it.

While this album certainly can't compete on an artistic scale with the very best of say, Wes Montgomery or John McLaughlin ( to name two of the preeminent MUSICIANS who happen to be guitarists ), it is nonetheless the product of a very talented and dedicated musician operating at a level way beyond what most of us mere mortals can hope to achieve.

P.S. If you like "DESPERADO", I'd also recommend Pat's playing in concert ( 1972 ), reissued on "HEAD AND HEART" ( 32 Jazz Records ). This CD also includes studio recordings from 1974, which amounts to a bargain as BOTH are included on one CD. This will provide, for those who want it, a contrast to the down-and-dirty grunginess of "DESPERADO".
