Album Description
Evelyn Ryan (Julianne Moore) is a devoted housewife and mother of ten in the 1950s. Her husband (Woody Harrelson) can't seem to make ends meet, but that doesn't stop the car from breaking down, the mortgage coming due and the bills from piling up. It falls to Evelyn to defy the conventions of the day and find a way to keep her family together with the odds stacked against them. Applying her remarkable resourcefulness and an uncommon wit, Evelyn finds her own way in the profitable jingle contests popular in the 1950s and'60s.Composer John Frizzell adds his own sophisticated sound to the compositions and brings on two great musicians - Sara and Sean Watkins - to play fiddle and guitar. The Soundtrack includes recordings by The Ames Brothers, Les Paul & Mary Ford, Dee Carstensen, Kay Starr and new recordings by k.d. lang "I'm Sitting on top of the World" and the film's Woody Harrelson.

Robert Goulet My Love Forgive Me/Sincerely Yours.......2007-06-08
My Love Forgive Me/ Sincerely Yours by Robert Goulet.......2001-10-10
Back in 1964, barely in my teens, I walked into my grandmother's
house one Saturday to find my two middle-aged aunts gushing over
a handsome male singer who was scheduled to appear on the Ed
Sullivan show.
I could not imagine who could elicit such a reaction.
One of my aunt's dashed from the room and returned, holding
a copy of the LP "My Love Forgive Me." The singer was Robert
Goulet.
Well, years later, late in my teens, and listening to the music
of my parent's generation instead of my own, I discovered what
all the fuss was about.
Robert Goulet has one of the finest voices in the pop music of
that era. Indeed, that handsome baritone sings those warm and
tender ballads so convincingly, it's no wonder the ladies swoon.
On the swing numbers, I can't help but snap my fingers and sing
along. His showmanship radiates in every performance, whether
in cabaret, in musical theater, or on records.
This CD reissue, in addition to the forementioned LP, also
includes the LP "Sincerely Yours," a beautiful recording also
released in the early 60s on Columbia Records. His albums back
then were big sellers for the label. It's wonderful that two
more are now available to his fans in the CD format.
Footnote: Highly recommended, too, is the Sony import that
includes his two LPs of Broadway songs.
Goulet Hits The Mark.......2001-03-12
Robert Goulet had released 2 alblums prior to "Sincerely Yours" with mixed results. He had been trying to make that transition from "Broadway Baritone" to the pop charts , and he finally hit the mark with "Sincerely Yours". With a mixture of both Broadway and Standards charts and a letting loose of that big voice he finally found the combination that showed his talents. The arranger and conductor, Sid Ramin, should be given credit for a job well done.
The "My Love Forgive Me" tracks are a different kind of offering. This alblum was Robert Goulet's most popular, given the fact that beside "If Ever I Would Leave You", the title track of this alblum is the song he was most associated with during his recording career. There are 4 different conductors on the 12 tracks and the alblum, although it doesn't suffer from this,it feels a little less consistent. I will say that on the tracks Mr. Goulet is at the top of his form, and most of the set has a very serious feel to it.
The 2 bonus tracks are the icing on the cake. Marty Manning's arrangement of "If Ever I Would Leave You" and Mr. Goulet's delivery of his signature song are worth the price of admission. "Summer Sounds" is a representative song of the mid-60's, when summer songs were the rage.
Now if we can only get Sony to produce a box set of Robert Goulet's entire Columbia output!

Classic disco PSB style.......2005-11-07
This was the first single release from the 'Very' album, one that returned to a much more disco-oriented kind of sound and beat. Computer technology for video and music instruments increased dramatically through the 80s, and that kind of technological innovation can be seen in this production.
The CD has five tracks of remixes of the title song, 'Can You Forgive Her', plus a remix of the track 'I Want To Wake Up' from the Actually album of 1987. This is an interesting remake of the song, remixed by PSB-veteran collaborator Shep Pettibone, unavailable in other formats.
This is pure Pet Shop Boys from the time that some were already reporting them as a thing of the past; the PSB are still around, and this song is now considered one of their classic hits.

It's difficult to call this derivative . . ........2006-12-18
Another reason they remind you of GAD? They're lyrics are smart; and there's hardly any hint of broken-hearted suburban teenage angst. There are bigger issues at play here; again, much like GAD and, again, nothing but a compliment (if you want to hear the opposite, there are plenty of bands out there for you, i.e., Cute is What We Aim For, etc.).
Yet, it's the vocals that sets Forgive Durden completely apart. When FD slows it down a touch and the lead vocalist lays his voice bare, I hear Bright Eyes.
This is an impressive album. At worst, it's a bit derivate of GAD . . . and that, in my mind, puts them ahead of 99% of the bands out there. Pick this one up; these guys deserve the hype that some of their annoying label mates are getting.
Awesome, no doubt........2006-07-05
Fueled by Ramen does it again with Forgive Durden's "Wonderland". Definitely recommended for fans of Panic! at the Disco, Matchbook Romance, Gatsby's American Dream, and Taking Back Sunday.
If you're into punk rock, this is a must-have.
Forgive Durden is a SMASH.......2006-06-30
why isn't fbr promoting these guys?.......2006-06-04
the comparison to gatsbys american dream is obvious, but if you're going to pick a band to copy, gatsbys isn't a bad choice. forgive durden are much more accessible though due to the inclusion of catchy as hell, singalong choruses. if you combined gatsbys with panic! at the disco, you'd probably get a pretty accurate impression of forgive durden. catchy, but complex, and with enough dynamic tempo changes to hold anyone's attention.
for the record, the last minute or so of parable of the sower is one of the most original things i've heard in the genre lately. i can't get enough of that song.
the lyrics and concept of wonderland are really what set forgive durden apart from most bands in the genre. really complex, intelligent stuff. no whining about girls or feelings from these guys. actually, the concept of this album reminds me a ton of ...is a real boy by say anything, which is about the best compliment i can possibly give.
also, forgive durden put on one hell of a live show. tons of energy, and the lead guitarist couldn't be much more entertaining to watch. really nice guys too.
i really reccommend buying this album. i rarely write reviews, but wonderland just blew me away.
If you like GAD.........2006-05-11

Wonderfully fine performance.......2004-10-10
Well, all the years of searching and waiting to know were not a waste. Firstly, I have never been able to locate a score of this work (as I have done with many ancient operas or forgotten ones), so I was just as in the dark as anyone else as to what to expect. I was incredibly surprised, not to mention, thrilled with the results. No, Sullivan is no Wagner, nor is he even Verdi, but he is wonderfully beautiful in his own right. Why this work has not entered into the opera houses, I have no clue, excepting maybe because it is English opera, which never does well. Speaking of "ENGLISH OPERA", here we have a recording where for the most part we CAN understand the words (a thing I never seem to find in professional recordings of English opera, or American opera; they may as well sing in gibberish, for that is exactly what it sounds like -- perhaps the composers have no clue what works in their own language?). The performers, as we know, are not professionals, but rather semi-professionals. There are some uneven performances, and sometimes the characters are not quite as developed as one would like, there are even times the orchestra sounds like it lost the beat (but this is EXTREMELY RARE), the sound quality of the recording is OK, but nothing stellar, however, it is not bad either. Yet, in spite of these drawbacks, we CAN and DO understand the words, and for once a rather strange sounding English libretto sounds natural and unforced with stupid poetry that really leaves you laughing. These wonderfully dedicated performers, no matter their individual difficulties, give us a wonderfully vivid performance where we can finally understand the opera (like all our Italian friends do when Italian opera is sung for them). That was such a treat for me, to finally actually understand the words of opera sung in my own language.
What makes this opera such a thrill, at least for me, is the natural fall of the words and the music, especially in the recitatives. Unlike most English opera where the musical line sounds completely foreign to the natural lilt of the words, Sullivan has an uncanny way of writing lines, melodies, and recitatives that flow naturally from the language itself. That was a really exciting experience to endure. For once, I didn't wish that someone would teach the composers to listen to the flow of English to gain an insight into melody. Maybe it was all those operettas that he wrote prior to this "serios opera" that taught him what he knew, or maybe, he just had a good ear for his own language and enough sense to know that trying to graft Italian or German musical idioms onto things just wasn't the correct choice.
Is it a great work? Well, no, it will never get into the record books as a perfect opera, nor will it shove Mozart or Wagner off the stage, but it is really quite good just the same. Even with all the flaws this recording has, I am so glad it is out there so I could at last hear what music fleshed out that old drawing I saw in a book all those years ago. Though Sullivan's music is not anywhere near as dramatic as one may imagine it should be, it fits well with the scene and the over all concept of the work.
I really recommend this recording, for it, at least for now, is the only one we have (and if they make a professional one, I really hope they screen the singers well, no big names if they can't sing English so we can understand it; Sullivan, as with Wagner, you MUST understand the words or the meaning is completely lost). The entire recording is really quite enjoyable, and it doesn't disappoint.

This is garbage; the rest of Reina's library is GOLD!
Catchy!.......2005-05-22
I enjoyed this maxi-single. The Valentin mixes are the best ones in my opinion, they add a little flavor to the original and make the song more club material. The Giuseppe D. mixes are okay, but the basslines seem to get boring real quick, so I wasn't very impressed. The DezroK mix I didn't care for either, at least vocally. The vocals must have been re-recorded for this track, but they are not nearly as good as the original, somewhat flat on the verses and poor coordination of vocals and production.
Reina is just awesome- very strong and controlled voice, and probably the best in the dance music genre (other than Kristine W)...it's a tie between them for me. And outside the studio, she can rip through those hits on stage- saw her live in Orlando and she's got pipes. Support her music!

Rebecca Lynn Howard's impressive debut positioned the Eastern Kentucky native as both a Patty Loveless acolyte and a formidable songwriter, contributing "I Don't Paint Myself into Corners" to the Trisha Yearwood songbook. Now comes her follow-up, which makes concessions to country's increasing inclination toward pure pop, even as it also includes some of the staunchest hillbilly music to come out of Nashville in years. "Jesus and Bartenders," Larry Cordle and Leslie Satcher's exquisite honky-tonk paean to both, weighs in as the album's biggest throwback to True Country, while Howard's own "It Didn't Look Like Alcohol," a poignant song of a man's struggle with unseen demons, comes in a close second. These exceptionally well crafted tunes seem even more extraordinary when bumped up against such forgettable pop as "Life Had Other Plans" and "Memorized." But the big-voiced Howard builds a bridge between the two styles on the title song, in which a wife reels from her husband's confession of infidelity. More than any other recent album, Forgive epitomizes country's current schizophrenia. There's no question which format will burn in your memory, even if it's the other that will likely make Rebecca Lynn Howard a star. --Alanna NashCustomer Reviews:
Excellent.......2007-04-23
Magnificient Achievement.......2007-02-09
The greatest music evokes intensely personal responses like, "I felt you were singing about my life," and this one does it. There is a conviction in her voice and lyrics reminicient of fellow Kentuckian Patty Loveless. These two songbirds share a connection, Rebecca sings on Patty's Mountain Soul, a recommendation for anyone who likes Forgive. RLH claims Whitney Houston and Celine Dion as influences, but they don't have the conviction or soul that she has. Patty, Loretta, and Dolly may be more appropriate comparisons.I recommend this CD highly, and any record company troubles RLH experiences erode any faith I may have left in the Nashville music establishment. I hope for more of this in the future.
