Proudly wearing their reputation as the "ultimate bar band," Hootie & the Blowfish have proven decisively that in a pop-music taproom bristling with full-bodied micro-brews and exotic imports, there are plenty who still crave Budweiser--and often Bud Light. It's hardly surprising then that in compiling this rarities collection, the band invited its fan base to choose a third of the album's 15 tracks (and its cover design) by voting at the Web site of a beer company. The result is a de facto tribute to much of the band's own favorite music, from vintage staples such as Roy Orbison's "Dream Baby," "Use Me" by Bill Withers, and Zeppelin's "Hey Hey What Can I Do" (13.98% of the virtual pub poll) through R.E.M.'s "Driver 8," the Reivers' "Araby," and "Almost Home" (14.24%) to seemingly improbable choices such as an unplugged rendition of Tom Waits's "I Hope I Don't Fall in Love with You," Vic Chestnutt's "Gravity of the Situation," and the Smiths' "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want" (13.11%). Even on Kim Richey's countrified "Let Me Be Your Man" (the poll topper at 15.47%), Darius Rucker and company display an uncanny ability to unify--and homogenize--seemingly disparate material into their own endlessly bubbly brew. Even if all of it doesn't all taste great, it's definitely less filling. --Jerry McCulley

Great Rarities.......2006-11-01

An album that at first appears somewhat more eclectic than your average Hootie album. After a time of listening to it, the disparate styles of music, which cross from full-on bouncy pop (Araby) to mellow classics (Hey Hey What Can I Do?) to country (Fine Line) to golden oldies (Dream Baby), seem somewhat helter skelter in their scattering throughout this album. Yet after a while, the album seems to pick up a flow that almost begins to make complete sense. Sure, the styling is somewhat random, but the musical quality of the tracks selected, including a soulful live cut (I Hope I don't Fall in Love With You) allows the listener to enjoy the fullest range of Hootie's distinctive and easily identifiable sound. I am purchasing this album for a second time, since continuous play of the first copy left it so badly scratched that I am forced to purchase a second copy to make up for the unplayability of the first. I rate this album as perhaps the very best of all of Hootie's albums.

If I Could Give This Album 10 Out 10 I Would.......2005-01-31

This album is definetely my favorite Hootie & the Blowfish album. I think that it is better than all of the other albums because it has some of the best songs on this slbum, like "Fine Line" and "I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You" and "Use Me" those are my absoulte favorite songs of all the Hootie songs. I definetely recommened that you buy this album if you are a true Hottie & the Blowfish fan.

Hootie Does No Wrong.......2004-06-14

The first time I saw Hootie and the Blowfish was in 1993 when I was a freshman at USC and they played a frat party I went to - I was completely hooked! They continue to be my favorite band! Darius has the most amazing and distinct voice - I can't get enough. The only reason this rating isn't 5 stars is because they didn't record my favorite 2 cover songs they used to do (maybe it's a copyright thing) --> "Mustang Sally" and "Love the One You're With." But I can't complain too much - this whole album is a treat!

Something the fans deserved!.......2004-03-04

Finally, a collection of the stuff that for whatever reason, didn't make the original albums, or wound up scattered (get the title now?) over various soundtracks or import versions of the albums...all in one place. The band has been doing 54-40's "I Go Blind" for years. in fact it was recorded back during the Cracked Rear View sessions...appeared on the Friends TV soundtrack...Use Me has been a concert tune for a long time too...nice to see these and all the other songs together that up until this album have been a case of get 'em where you can find 'em. Thanks guys...and thanks for continuing to be consistently excellent...for those of you who STILL (!) aren't familiar with these guys, get their new Best Of collection...and this one...then go out and grab Cracked Rear View...and then the rest of 'em!

The many faces of Hootie.......2003-11-06

Hootie & the Blowfish began as a kick@ss bar cover b and, and that reappears here with some great covers, along with awesome B-Sides. The diversity on this album is amazing. Fine Line is bluesy, I Go Blind explodes with trademark Hootie rock, then Almost Home shows off their more bluegrass side, before a Led Zeppelin cover rocks you, then Darius lets loose with one of most soulful, incredible vocal performances I've ever heard (Renaissance Eyes). And that's just the first five songs, a taste of what this album brings. There's an REM cover, original Hootie stuff, it's all different and it's all great. Forget what you may have heard about this band, if you love MUSIC get this and their other albums and you will not be disappointed

This is Chanticleer's 25th recording and also marks its 25th anniversary season. The title refers to the group's wide-ranging repertoire; this disc includes Mexican baroque, traditional American songs in various styles and music commissioned by Chanticleer itself. A program that tries to please everybody is bound to disappoint somebody; however, no one could be disappointed by the singing. The sound of these 12 unaccompanied male voices has an unearthly, celestial beauty and purity; their blend is perfect. Though the singers rarely use vibrato, their intonation is impeccable both together and in solos. Their expressive range and stylistic versatility are incredible: they can project tenderness, pleading, and bitter protest and are equally at home in plainchant, Latin hymns, blues, spirituals, shouts and crooning. Among the highlights are the three opening hymns, settings of two poems of Torquato Tasso by William Hawley, commissioned by Chanticleer, which combine 16th- and 20th-century styles, and the two final folksongs, the last with a stride-style piano accompaniment, making a rousing, exuberant ending. The booklet, in three languages, is well laid-out and informative. --Edith Eisler

Customer Reviews:

Amazing, ecclectic album.......2007-07-11

This CD is a great example of Chanticleer's phenomenal versatility, and it has something for everyone to appreciate. The Appalacian twang on the two Billings pieces is a bit much, but otherwise Chanticleer is in top form here and really shows what they are made of. As for the recording itself, something about the micing or acoustics in the recording process causes the countertenors to be just a tad too strong on a few tracks, but it's not a major problem.

To me, the most extraordinary tracks are: The Un-Covered Wagon with it's surreal effects and incredible array of vocal techniques, Willow Weep For Me, Jeanie With The Light Brown Hair (Michael Lichtenauer's solo floats so effortlessly in a mixed vocal register, I have never heard anything like it!), and Whispers.

Warning: This CD Is Addictive.......2006-12-10

I purchased this CD after hearing this magnificent choral group sing "Calling My Children Home" in a recent concert. Written by Doyle Lawson (from the group "Quicksilver"), Charlie Waller and Robert Yates, the song is a standard bluegrass number I had known for years (Emmy Lou Harris for one has recorded it); but I had no idea it had found its way to San Francisco. Chanticleer has made this song their own. I cannot imagine anyone else's version coming close to theirs.

The group sings 17 other songs on this CD, most of them arranged by Joseph Jennings, Chanticleer's music director. Their version of William Billings' "David's Lamentation," a Sacred Harp work, will blow you away. Another favorite of mine is "Wayfaring' Stranger." There are also two Stephen Foster songs included, "Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair" and "Camptown Races" as well as Gershwin and other American composers.

There seems to be no kind of music that this group cannot sing better than most other groups. They remind us that there is no musical instrument more beautiful than the human voice.

This CD should be one for the time capsule.

Well worth buying.......2005-08-16

Chanticleer fans know what to expect in terms of vocal quality, and won't be disappointed. I agree with another reviewer that the Appalachian accent is a little over the top, but I thought the shape-note style was perfect: brilliant sound, but not that nasal.

I enjoyed the many styles of music in this CD, but since I tend to listen to CDs straight through as albums, I found it a little disconcerting to go so suddenly from one style to the next (e.g., Mexican Baroque to shape note).

That being said, everything is splendidly, sensitively performed. The renditions of "Whispers" and "The Un-Covered Wagon" are breathtaking. By all means, buy and enjoy this!

Good variety of American Choral Music.......2005-01-03

This album features a wonderful selection of "American" choral music. I'm not a big fan of the "stylized" singing of the shape-note pieces (with the nasal voices), but that is my only complaint. My favorite piece is Steven Stucky's "Whispers" which is an artfully crafted homage to Orlando Gibbons' "Drop, Drop, Slow Tears" and William Byrd's "Ave Verum Corpus." Joseph Jennings and Chanticleer effectively demonstrate that there is no "defining" American choral music and it is this rich panoply of variety which is so enchanting!

Absolutely wonderful!!.......2003-10-25

This album shows Chanticleer's great talent and it displays they're wonderful voices. I've seen them perform pieces from this album and they do it with such passion. It's wonderful. If you don't get this or any of their albums you truly are missing out!!

It's maddening that we have to wait so long
for great albums like this to come out while
Cheap Trick can put out all the compilations
and DVDs, et, all they want and they are only
three quarters as good as the 'The last of the

Webb Wilder. Really this is three albums in one
not just a 'Greatest Hits' or 'Best Of...'.Long
time Wilder fans will notice that there are no
songs from Webb's bigger budget releases like:
Doo Dad and Hybrid Vigor here. But it's OK
since there are no EVEN just-above-average LPs
in the Webb Wilder discography:

"three albums in one work their magic from Varese ~ Webb Wilder".......2005-08-06

Varese Records presents "Scattered, Smothered and Covered: A Webb Wilder Overview", reissued tracks of albums from the past "It Came From Nashville" (1993), "Town & Country" (1995) and "Acres of Suede" (1996) all on the Watermelon Records label, featuring the one and only Webb Wilder and his Beatnecks...crazy beat and delivery with a kind of out there performance...his guitar work and stage presence is what grabs you from the git go.

Wilder's mention of the "Rock n' Roll Justice League" gives you a glimpse of what's in store on this cool and do you dig it release with...combining no nonsense rockabilly to create little jewels like "POOLSIDE" and "RUFF RIDER" (Dedicated to Broderick Crawford)." As with early rock, meaningful lyrics make way for a more visceral approach, leading to music that you feel right down to the bottom of your toes..."FLAT OUT GET IT", composed by Webb Wilder with vibes of Chuck Berry bringing the house down with every beat that hits you right between the eyes..."SLOW DEATH", call the doctor for some medication for the fever..."FALL IN PLACE", can't hide from the eye of heaven..."LOUD MUSIC", there's a forty dollar fine down the Rock Island Line for loud music..."THE WEBB WILDER CREDO", real music is out there and real people are makin' it..."HONKY TONK HELL", two many stories I can't tell, too much loss of memory..."I AIN'T LIVING LONG LIKE THIS", don't let 'em take you downtown..."CARRYIN' THE NEWS TO MARY", got to take a look see, to see what I just saw..."NO GREAT SHAKES", close but no cigar, if I tag along will you think I'm playin' dumb..."HOW LONG CAN SHE LAST (GOING FAST)", how long can rock n roll music last playin' that fast..."HORROR HAYRIDE", with shades of "The Ventures" early years..."ONE TASTE OF THE BAIT", can't forget how good she looks, the look is worth the pain of the hook...wild, cool and swingin'...can you dig it?

Hats off to my good friend Bryon Davis (producer) and his co-producers Cary E. Mansfield, R.S. Field and of course Varese Records and our man on the rock and roll caravan of Wilderian liberation...Webb Wilder (wear glasses if you need 'em) created a solid album that harked back to the roots of rock.

Not quite what I expected.......2006-11-11

I am an avid supporter of Christian artists, and I am a huge metal fan. I have to say, however, that this album was a complete disappointment. It's unfortunate that the audio clips on Amazon are low quality, otherwise I would have been able to discern that the drummer uses an electronic drum set. The drumming is very poor- not just the poor quality of the electronic set, but at many times he is off tempo and doesn't play with the instruments. The vocals are laughable (I actually laughed while listening in the car). Don't get me wrong- I love both high-pitched and gutteral screams for vocals, but this was absolutely horrible. The high-pitched vocals sounded like a Smurf talking quickly, and the low-pitched vocals sounded like a Smurf trying to sound manly. The lyrical content is not all that uplifting, either. It seems as though they are trying to trick their intended audience of typical black-metal fans into thinking they're a traditional "Hail Satan"-style band, but then throwing in a few "gotchas" to indicate they indeed are Christians. From the other three reviews posted on Amazon, I can tell that Frost Like Ashes does have a following, so perhaps you may enjoy this CD afterall. If you're a typical fan of melodic metal, though, I doubt you will be interested in this offering.

will crush you.......2006-06-02

Wow. The perfect mix of very technical death/black metal and with a few moments sounding like something off Ride The Lightning, you can't go wrong here. The music will punish with its speed as the lyrics call Christians to arms. I love it. This is as quality as any demonic drenched music and has a message of hope. For all fans of EXTREMELY heavy music.After having a hard time getting this album out here's hoping their next album goes more smoothly for them.

Wonderful..........2006-04-04

After waiting for a very long time for this cd to come out, I am very pleased at the content. They have advanced musically and the sound is wonderful on this release. The lyrics are very Christian, denouncing Satan and uplifting other Christians. If you like heavy, fast, brutal Unblack metal, this is a great release. God bless!

... from the dead ..........2006-02-10

After being announced something like two years ago this album has finally been released. It was originally set to be released on Sounds of the Dead records [who released their "Pure as the Blood Covered Snow" EP] but the founder of that label vanished from the face of the earth and the future of "Tophet" looked bleak ... it was put on the back burner and a new demo / EP was announced, but then came the great and mighty hero Psychoacoustix Records to rescue "Tophet" ... well unfortunately that didnt work out so well either as the release date was pushed back several times [eventually turning into something like 7 months] and then the head of the label died and the entire label suspended operation. The label did actually get some copies made at the tail end and that is why the Psychoacoustix logo is on the back cover ... but this was NOT released by that label, rather it was released by the band itself.

All of that means nothing to the actual music, but I find it interesting. The music here is much like that on "Pure As ..." only more technical, more advanced, heavier, faster, more intense ... you name it, it's more that way. The production is MUCH better, everything has a fuller, richer sound while still staying away from that 'over produced black metal' sound ... yes, keyboards play a much more prominent roll on this album than they did on the earlier EP, but rather than creating the music [leaving the guitars buzzing around somewhere in the background] they enhance the music, giving everything more atmosphere ... I am not a big fan of keyboard heavy black metal, and I like them on this album, so that says something I think.

All in all I have to say that this cd has gotten a LOT of play time since I received it a couple weeks ago, the mixture of black and death metal with just a touch of thrash here and there is pretty much perfect. I highly recommend this album, especially to those who liked "Pure As The Blood Covered Snow" ... if you liked that one this one will blow you away.

Eric in a 'Mellow Mood'.......2006-01-26

Normally when I think of Eric Marienthal I think of the spicy, electrifying, and wild `jamming' Alto Sax player. This project took me to a different side of Eric and a pleasing one at that. I know Eric has a lot of energy, but this project puts him in a `Mellow Mood.' It is truly a nice Jazz background mellow project. I almost call it Eric plays the favorites and plays it safe. He is not trying to out do the originals, he does them. When listening to `New York State of Mind' I envision with a smile, Carmen McRae's 1980 rendition of this Billy Joel classic with Freddie Hubbard doing the monster Trumpet solo. The same can be said of James Moody's 'Moody's Mood for Love', as Eric plays one imagines the vocals of King Pleasure or Eddie Jefferson saying "James Moody you can blow now if you want to" (there I go talking out of my head again). The efforts on Les McCann's `Compared to What' and the Bee Gee's `Emotion' are done with a nice jazzy flow. I like this side of Eric as he finds himself in a 'Mellow Mood' and he puts you into one as well. If you are looking for a laid back mellow Jazz album, the JazzeOne says: Eric has `Got you covered.' ~the JazzeOne

Nice Disc!!.......2005-10-27

I like this disc. It has a lot of tunes that I know, but they are arranged to fit the sax well. I like this disc and I continue to play it.

Smoothjazz.com Review.......2005-10-18

A dream project for the talented saxophone aficionado... Inspired by the desire for change, he lined up some of the finest players and recorded GOT YOU COVERED live in the studio. "The great thing about recording live is that the music has a great energy and connection that you just can't get when you build a record a piece at a time. The scary thing is that you don't really know what you're going to end up with until after you've done it." To our ears, the finished project is fun, spontaneous and filled with a fantastic variety of jazz; from smooth to straight ahead. Primarily acoustic, GOT YOU COVERED is a cover album (hence the title) starring great players the likes of Russell Ferrante, Peter Erskine, Luis Conte, Chick Corea and Russ Freeman (Rippingtons - Eric's current gig). The covers include warm, rich versions of standards like "I've Got The World On A String," "Moody's Mood For Love," and "My One & Only" (recorded with Chick Corea as a duet in ONE take!). Plus a potpourri of other styles of music from the Gipsy Kings "Love & Liberte" to Carol King's "You've Got A Friend," to the BeeGees, "Emotion," and a stunning version of Billy Joel's "New York State Of Mind." Marienthal has been an integral part of the Smooth Jazz genre since it's inception, performing and recording with a who's who of artists over the years. GOT YOU COVERED is a sweet assortment of tasty, tasty tunes that come highly recommended by your friends here at [...]! ~SANDY SHORE

Fantasic!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-10-05

This is one of his best since "Voices Of The Heart". I urge you to buy this CD. It's one of his best. I don't throw praise around alot on some of his stuff. That means this is a Winner.
When you see this in a store grab it & buy it.

Album Description

This three-piece crafts sickeningly intimate art that is equally sensual and icy. With damaged, wraithlike dance beats and grim electro minimalism, it cuts you like nails across bare thighs, but just the same, it'll brush your hair from your face, look deep into your eyes, and say, "I feel the same as you sometimes. We're not too different, are we?" Xiu Xiu and friends do this and more on this new double CD set of covers and remixes. The first disc features covers by Sunset Rubdown, Devendra Banhart, Kid 606, Larsen, Oxbow, Marissa Nadler, and more, while the remix half features Gold Chains, Cherry Point, Warbucks, Xiu Xiu, and more.

Customer Reviews:

from what i've heard this far!.......2007-04-13

i just listened to the covers record, now moving on to the remixes. There was some really jems on that album and then there was some songs i had to skip after a minute or two,,well just Oxbow's cover, it sounded like a drunken friend, sitting in the bedroom at a party singing to some chick he think he can impress with his musical skills, but he sounds like a dog being hit by a car. I've got to give props to Larsen, Marissa Nadler and Her Space Holiday for totally make those songs their own. I love it when a artist can do that.

I'm on the second track on the remixes and it's off to an awesome start! good stuff. this is my friend's album, she let me preview before she got her hands on it, since she knows i'm such a fan, and i'm pretty happy with it.

so far.
