Great Memories.......2007-01-11

I was a great fan of the group (The Dixie Hummingbirds) from the time I could switch on a phonograph. This group has been called "the greatest Gospel group ever", and I agree with that assessment wholeheartedly. I thought I would never hear the old songs again, but thanks to this site and the vendor, I have once again come into posession of this great Gospel music. Their harmony, and lyrics are simply the best. They are entertaining and they are inspirational. If one likes good Gospel music, and want to hear the original recordings, then this is the group to listen to.

It'll bring back those 'good-gospel' memories of the 60's!!.......1999-06-23

I was born in 1960. I remember being at home with my father before I started elementary school. My mother was at work. Daddy worked shifts, so many days I'd stay at home with him until either it was time for him to go to work or until one of my brothers or sisters came home. He'd always have the radio on the old WSID in Baltimore with the late Pauline Wells Lewis. She'd often play Dixie Hummingbirds tunes which my father loved. He sang in a gospel quartet, so he could relate to the 'Birds.' He also had their albums. He played them so much, that I got to know and love many of their tunes. On fathers' day 1999, I presented him with the The Best of The Dixie Hummingbirds cd and he couldn't contain himself!!! You see, he hasn't heard any of their songs on a regular basis since the exodus of the 8 track.

If you are a lover of old gospel music, this cd will put you in heaven!!!!

Quick Overview of Their Peacock Years.......2002-05-20

Going from 1953-75 in 12 tracks may seem criminal in covering this legendary Gospel group, but as a budget item this is a perfect introduction. There are brief liner notes that are informative, but it's the performances that tell the story. Ira Tucker's lead vocals are amazing as are the rest of the 'Birds. If you're just getting interested in the Dixie Hummingbirds than this is a good starter.

When gospel quartets age--and hey, this is the Dixie Hummingbirds' 75th anniversary here--they're required to make crossover records that match them up with a wide array of pop musicians. Since the Dixie Hummingbirds already did that for their 70th anniversary on Music in the Air, this time they match themselves with a sure-footed backing band of rock and soul all-stars including Dr. John, Larry Campbell, Garth Hudson and Levon Helm. "God's Radar" clues the listener in that something different is going on here: it starts off like a bluegrass tune, then the guitars kick in and they're pure honky-tonk, while the bridge is a Cajun riff. The weirdest thing about the song is how well it works. The same can be said for the entire album, which mixes contemporary songs with traditional classics. "Too Many Troubles" matches swampy blues-rock to a mournful song written by Buddy and Julie Miller, with a nice, golden-age-style lead vocal by William Bright. The sole survivor of the original group is lead baritone Ira Tucker, who joined the `Birds in 1938 at the age of 13, and he still delivers rich bursts of inspired shout-singing that's absolutely goose bump-inducing. Gospel is more than the root of soul music, it's a vital, wholly American and very alive music; this expertly-produced and laidback album presents sweet proof. --Mike McGonigal

IRA TUCKER IS HANDS DOWN THE MOST VERSATILE FRONT MAN OF MODERN AMERICAN MUSIC. THE HUMMINGBIRDS HAVE DONE IT AGAIN. THE MUSICIANS FEATURED HERE ARE MASTERS OF THEIR CRAFT! DON'T WAIT...GET IT NOW!

The Dixie Hummingbirds capture the joy and peace of the Holy Spirit!!! This is spirit filled joyous gospel music, that sounds like happy blues and party music, great harmonies and classic tunes(some new too)!!!

Great gospel music, classic music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jubilation, indeed!.......2004-03-13

If the voice of Ira Tucker doesn't give you chills on "Too Many Troubles" and "When I Go Away", you may beyond hope. The whole album exudes warmth, and truth, and sincerity. Hats off to Larry Campbell's production, which surrounds the Hummingbirds with some top shelf talent. Here you have Campbell (guitarist with Bob Dylan), and the rest of the core of Dylan's mighty touring band, plus Garth Hudson, Levon Helm, and Dr. John. I particularly liked the Delta blues flavor of "Too Many Troubles" and "Nobody's Fault."

Slip it into the CD player; crank it up; feel better about life. It's that simple.

A truly vibrant recording; BIG fun; completely uplifting........2003-11-19

..
Occasionally and too-infrequently I stumble across some music so good that it reminds me of why I got into music in the first place, way-back in the fuzzy past. Well this Dixie Hummingbirds record does just that. It's completely alive in spirit and music.

I picked it up sight unseen because I always liked the classic Hummingbirds stuff, and because the CD's backup band is really intriguing. What a pleasant surprise. This record is flat-out exciting and even dance-able. Hats off to Larry Campbell for the production, and hats off too, of course, to Ira Tucker, Sr. and the rest of the Hummingbirds for their incomparable virtuosity, energy, and commitment to excellence.

Song Number 6, "When I Go Away" is my favorite, an example of just how rhythmically inventive and totally exciting classic gospel vocal arrangement can be. Everything's great though. Mr. Tucker, Sr. joined the Hummingbirds so long ago... His rich baritone voice is as strong as ever. This really IS roots music, performed by the actual originators. Don't think twice about this one... it is all meat and no gristle. Well worth the investment.

Great God A'Mighty!.......2003-11-14

This is the first and only album by the Dixie Hummingbirds I've listened to, and all I can say, as someone who's not really very experienced with gospel, is Oh, My, God. This is INCREDIBLE. It works on so many levels that at times you might not even realize you're tapping your foot like mad to a GOSPEL song. If I ever see that this band is scheduled to perform within 500 miles of me, I'm jumping in a car and heading out!

Ira Tucker A Living Legend / The Dixie Hummingbirds Last Man Standing.......2006-12-09

With a career that started some sixty-eight years ago,.. Ira Tucker is a living singing wonder of a man. Not many can sing with the conviction of this Gospel music icon. The Birds have done it with everyone from Paul Simon to God knows who. You can't go wrong with the Dixie Hummingbirds latest cd, "Still Keeping It Real". The classic sound is there. The project is well sequenced,.. for continued play from track one through track ten. My favorites,. tracks 2 Wonderful To Be Alive, Ira's testimony,.. track 4 Farther Alone.. the lead on this one sounds like the Temption's late great..Melvin Franklin,..track 5 Personal Jesus Uptempo,.track 8 Love Your Fellow Man, and track 10 Don't Let Me Fail.
Awesome job by the man who created the black division of Word Records back in the day, James Bullard of MCG Records of Atlanta, Ga.
P.S. Hats off to Tony Beck & Ira Tucker, Jr, co-producers on this Grammy nominated project!

Joined by an all-star cast of friends and fellow recording artists, the Dixie Hummingbirds, arguably the most powerful jubilee and traditional-style black gospel quartet of the century, issue Music in the Air in celebration of their 70-year reign. Traipsing across stylistic musical boundaries, the still formidable group pushes the envelope with reconfigured arrangements of traditionals such as "How Great Thou Art" and "Come Ye Disconsolate," the former featuring a powerful a cappella lead by Wynonna Judd in juxtaposition to the interlocked harmony of the 'Birds. While not the dead-on quality of its prime-time recordings, Music in the Air is testament to the quartet's undeniable might and influence in both the sacred and secular worlds of music. Exciting contributions include Mavis Staples's enthused lead on "I Need Thee," a collaboration with the boisterous Shirley Caesar on "Praise Him," and Paul Simon's updated "Love Me Like a Rock," the original hit on which the 'Birds sang backup in 1973. --Paige La Grone

Blues of green "Hummingbirds".......2005-01-25

One of the most memorable trip-hop bands of recent years has been Venus Hum. It's catchy, it's sweet and it's immersed in strong electronica. The "Hummingbirds" EP pairs two songs from their full-length "Big Beautiful Sky" album with a pair of strong extra tracks.

It kicks off with the catchy "Hummingbirds," which swells up into a trippy soundscape. It's especially fun because of the whimsical songwriting ("Godiva Girl/Swimming in chocolate/Winged foil heart cardinals..."). Continuing that is "Alice," an exquisite slower song that puts Annette Strean's lovely vocals to good use.

Well, those are the songs from the album -- on to the EP-only songs. "Run Anne Run" is a fun song that sounds like whimsical dancepop. And finally there's "Illumine," which is mostly composed of catchy beats and languid stretches of spacey keyboard. It's nothing short of gorgeous.

"Hummingbirds" does more than showcase two good songs -- it also happens to show everything that Venus Hum can do, from clubby pop to exquisite electronica. At the end of it, it's hard not to want more from this band, which hasn't received a fraction of the attention they deserve.

Annette Strean belongs up with Hope Sandoval and Beth Gibbons as a trip-hop vocalist -- her singing is strong, sweet and able to swell as the music does. Speaking of which, Kip Kibin and Tony Miracle do amazing things with their synth and keyboard, producing trippy beats that would sound cold if they weren't so fun and playful.

A good introduction to Venus Hum is the "Hummingbirds" EP, with its mix of dancey trip-hop and lush ballads. Definitely worth getting.

radio days.......2005-10-22

Lovebuzz is a well crafted album and an outstanding entry into the world of power pop. this overlooked Australian group wrote some fine catchy tunes that contain flashes of brilliance as on the swirling "Blush" and the sugary jangle-pop of "Everything You Said." i'm not sure if they are popular in Australia, but back in 1990, this album would have fit in perfectly with most stuff being played on American college radio.

great jangle/powerpop produced by Mitch Easter.......2004-04-09

This album (and the band) deserved a much better fate than what was given. There is probably nobody else on the planet more suited to producing a jangly powerpop record than Mitch Easter, and the production on Love Buzz suits the songs perfectly. This album is crammed full of melodic songs with male-female harmonies throughout. In addition to the jangle, there are some nice distorted guitar leads placed in here and there which wouldn't sound out of place on an early-90's Boo Radleys or Smashing Pumpkins album. Chances are that if you're reading this review on this obscure out-of-print album from 15 years ago, this is right up your alley and you should order a copy.
