In the most dignified way possible, "Dignity"--the title track to this fizz-bomb of a dance-pop disc--sends a disgusted eye-roll and a flagrant puh-lease to underwear-eschewing celebutantes everywhere: "You'd show up to the opening of an envelope," sings Duff, who hangs onto her signature sweetness despite having entered full-on diss mode. "It's not news when you've got a new bag/It's not news when you're looking your best/Come on, give it a rest." Well said. And sung. Not that calling out the phony and the full of it is what Duff, or Dignity, is all about. Mostly, the disc is a beat-studded chronicling of an incredibly healthy 19-year-old psyche: On "Happy," she's happy despite an ex's attempts to make her miserable; on "With Love"--maybe her catchiest, most grown-up song to date--she's willing to accept rejection as long as kindness plays a role in its delivery. Musically, with the help of groove-conscious producers like Tim & Bob and Will.i.am, Duff edges ever closer to adult sensibilities; her goofball Lizzie McGuire days seem far behind. It's an evolution anybody could have seen coming, actually. Has there ever been a starlet with her head on straighter? --Tammy La Gorce

New Sounds Cool.......2007-07-17

This disc is an interesting mixing of paces that very guessed right his title give a Dignity different from the interpretacion and his musical identity like it we know in his previous presentations.
Este disco es una interesante mezcla de ritmos que muy acertado su titulo dan una Dignidad distinta a las interpretacion y su identidad musical como la conocemos en sus anteriores presentaciones.

SOUNDS LIKE GWEN STEFANI!.......2007-07-16

I sorta disliked Hilary Duff, being a young singer myself... I believed she had no talent.
However, I believe she'll improve vocally with age. This CD reminds me a lot of Gwen's CD, LOVE ANGEL MUSIC BABY!

I think this CD is a great! Hilary has learned to harmonize better as well as find her own style. I really like some of the beats esp, "Stranger."

Her music video is also... AWESOME. I DIG IT. YOU SHOULD TO!

With this album, I have more respect for Hilary Duff.

Great CD, Uplifting message.......2007-07-11

I read somewhere that this was her fourth disc, I had never listened to an entire cd by her before, but the title got my attention, and it is the theme for the whole album, there are no out of place tracks here, she helps you to think, and makes the tracks electronic, which I can work out to on the treadmill, but I must say the standout song on this cd is No Work All Play, she sounds wise beyond her years, expressing that life is about more than just having a good time, having balance and getting to know yourself is more important. She encourages the listener to keep trying, even when it is difficult at times, the journey will help a person gain wisdom and grow stronger. Thank you Ms. Duff, it was an encouraging ride

THE BEST OF ALL OF THEM!.......2007-07-09

i love all of hilary's cds, but this one is my favorite! my favorite songs are "dignity", "with love", "gypsy woman", and "happy". all the songs are great, but those are the best. "dignity" automaticly made me think of paris hilton (who i think is a spoiled brat) and "happy" is the song i would assoiate with a break up to say that you are so over the guy. it's words are like she's talking to someone (most likely Joel) "i'm happy and i know that makes you mad/after all the things you put me through/i'm finally gettin' over you. it's an over all great album and i would highly recomend it for hilary fans and first time listeners of all ages!

Duff and stuff........2007-06-28

I've been very happy with Hilary's CD I feel shes grown up the most out of the kids who have come off of disnay around the time she had and started singing. I feel she can still get better though. Alot of dance feeling to the music. I like the dvd on the special edition, atleast for the music videos. I can't wait to see Hilary grow up more and make better albums.

Love it!.......2007-07-18

I'm not ashamed to admit that I love this album. I am no teeny-bopper or HS girl... I'm a full-time working, professional adult. While Hilary Duff has always been a guilty pleasure of mine (bad movies, songs, etc), it was always decidedly difficult to watch her act and I had to accept the fact that I liked her catchy pop songs even though her voice isn't all that great. "Dignity" however, is really different. Her voice still isn't all that great, but it has definitely improved and with it comes a more mature sound. I'm glad that she's decided to take the route of an entertainer and steer clear of typical Britney-esque pop singers - I love the dance pop sound that she's moving into. This is definitely my go-to work-out album because of it's great beats and fun lyrics. I highly recommend!

Wounderful.......2007-06-07

I love this cd and the dvd has her music vidoes on it and an interview with her the best ever.

A little moore grown up album .......2007-05-12

This is a great album from Hilary Duff, it's a little moore grown up and she shows her sexy side on some songs. The dvd bonus was also a pleasent suprise, she talks about all of her music videos ++. I'll give it 4 stars, since some of the songs are not so grown up. But still a great album!

No Shame in "Dignity".......2007-04-28

A most enjoyable pop product and one of the most re-playable of the year so far. As with Britney Spears or (the even more-viciously-derided) Ashlee Simpson, the issue of whether Hilary Duff can actually sing is moot here, since much of the heavy lifting for this type of teen pop is usually left to the backing musicians and producers anyways. All that matters is: Is the final product any good? The answer: An emphatic "YES!" While not reaching the delirious abandon of Simpson at her best on "I Am Me," at the very least Duff's voice is rendered unobtrusive by processing and at the very best is a playfully bouncing ball of energy that complements the poppy music, itself an amalgam of modernized retro-'80s beats that recall various shades of Blondie, the Human League, Depeche Mode, New Order, freestyle dance, Foreigner, Genesis, Bryan Adams, Pat Benetar, and more recent influences as No Doubt (itself '80s-influenced) and Spears. And like Simpson, Huff gets by here on sheer moxie. (Contrast this to the lackluster lethargy of Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton on their albums. Simply posing does not translate well on disc.) What pushes Huff's album above those by Spears and earns Huff extra points is her (or her handlers') judgment in wisely avoiding the "slow, treacly ballad" (a la "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman") that drags lesser albums down and would expose the fact that she is no Christina Aguilera. And there is something to be said for catchy lyrics that are easily sung-along to and easy to decipher. Not every album has to be lyrically challenging as those by some underground artist or even REM or Bob Dylan. (And come to think of it -- Dylan's not much of a singer these days, either, without some help in the studio!) Just as the baseball player Jeff Kent addressed whiny and b*tchy critics, "Just enjoy the game!" Teen pop is what it is, and in similar company, "Dignity" simply stands out: strong enough to be a "Greatest Hits" collection on its own. Standout tracks include: "Play with Fire" (Foreigner or Yes in dance-pop incarnation); "Stranger" (New Order meets "I'm a Slave 4 U" middle-Eastern flourish); the Gwen Stefanish title track...but with every track a winner, what's the point in playing favorites? ;)

Great Cd/Dvd.......2007-04-24

The cd is a mix, of the real good, and the not that good.
The songs, With Love, Gypsy woman ,and Happy,is the stronges.

If you want 9,music video`s from Hilary in one place this is It.
The picture transfer, is the best these video`s have ever had.
The sound,it`s not in 5,1.,but is`s great anyway.

Fantastic!.......2007-01-09

As a movie soundtrack fan, I was immediately drawn to 'The Greatest Game Ever Played,' and when I got it just a few weeks ago, I wasn't dissapointed.
At first it sounds much like James Horner's 'Legends of the Fall,' but it is by no means a repeat of it. It is a beautifull soundtrack on it's own, with many different themes that keep it exciting. The music has the same early 1900's feel as the movie while stil maintaining a variety of music styles; from soaring strings to intense violin pieces to period vocals like "And the Band Played On." Like the movie, it has a very inspirational feel, and I would definately recommend it to anyone, whether fans of the movie or soundtrack lovers.

Loved the movie, love the score.......2006-03-17

I saw The Greatest Game Ever Played in the theater and became enchanted with this film, based on the true story of Francis Ouimet, a low-class amateur golfer who emerges from complete obscurity to win the U.S. Open. By the end of the movie, I realized how much I was enjoying the music and decided that I just had to buy the soundtrack.

As I have listened to this soundtrack again and again, I've been captivated by this music. The beauty and power of Brian Tyler's composition is most impressive. As an intent listener, I've been deeply moved by the expansive musical landscape that is covered in this soundtrack. The central motif, a majestic and magnanimous melody which forms the essence of the main title, is woven into tracks throughout the disc, tying everything together as part of a musical (and theatrical) storyline. Indeed, it seems like an incomplete experience if I don't listen to the entire soundtrack, start to finish, in sequential order. If you take the time to do that, you'll find it's a very rewarding listen.

4.5 Stars for The Greatest Game Ever Played.......2006-03-11

This was an excellent 10 dollar purchase from iTunes, to put it mildly. As much as I loved Tyler's The Final Cut, Darkness Falls, Timeline and Constantine scores, this tops them all. It's a loving tribute to the main character of the film and good ol' fashioned film scoring in general. I haven't seen the movie and therefore cannot comment on wether or not it works in the context of the film. I can, however, say with great pleasure what a joy it is to listen to as a solo album.
The album picks up with the main title track, and what a great track it is. Some people will say it is Horner reminiscent, and while many themes on this CD do remind me of James Horner's best work, I actually think the closer resemblance is John Debney. I'm serious - this score is in many ways similar to The Passion of the Christ. It has pounding drums and wonderful percussion and isn't afraid to go all out with the string and brass section. It's a thrilling, heroic, melodramatic and operatic score that I've enjoyed listening to repeatedly. A highly recommended score for anyone who enjoys breathtaking and moving and powerful and heroic sometimes lighthearted and always thrilling music.
cheers

One of Brian Tyler's best.......2005-10-01

Brain Tyler says of this score that "the orchestral music was influenced by the popular music of the end of the 19th Century and the start of the 20th Century - Debussy, Sibelius, Strauss, and Mahler. To me, the sound we know as 'American' was a combination of the styles of so many of these great European composers." As far as I'm concerned, this score was a lot more influenced by James Horner -- certain bits sound strikingly similar to Legends of the Fall. But don't let that put you off, because the rest of the bits don't. This score is beautiful, lively, energetic, exciting and ebullient Americana throughout -- an odd contrast to Tyler's last score, the dark beast that was Constantine. Despite the occasional "nods" to Horner, though, Greatest Game Ever Played is one of Tyler's best and most thoroughly enjoyable scores, well orchestrated and well recorded also. If it's not quite Children of Dune, it's certainly better than his best since, such as Timeline and The Final Cut, on par with his other score for Bill Paxton, Frailty, though obviously in a very different genre and with a very different sound. So if you're a fan of Brian Tyler or good, uplifting, exciting film music in general, definitely check out this score.

A vibrant tribute to MGM's legendary confluence of brains, talent, hard work, ambition--and dare we say it?--massive egos, Singin' in the Rain long ago took its rightful place among the first rank of the studio's dizzying catalog of film musicals. This double-disc, 46-track 50th-anniversary edition features all of the film's familiar songs, as well as numerous outtakes and extended versions, many culled directly from the film's original recording masters. Its second disc also chronicles the film's clever--if studio imposed--self-referential musical gambit of recycling a slate of Arthur Freed/Nacio Herb Brown songs from Metro's first decade by including 14 of the originals, including performances by Jeanette McDonald, Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, and Freed himself. Featuring a dozen previously unreleased recordings and an illustrated booklet containing the insightful reminiscences of the film's original writers, Betty Comden and Adolph Green, it's the ultimate musical companion to one of cinema's magical, enduring masterpieces. --Jerry McCulley

the perfect movie.......2007-03-10

My old Gene did it: the perfect movie, the perfect american history, the perfect music. Some people think musicals are "B" movies. I say them: look about the dream, the performance, the music.
Who can say what is beatiful? Look at faces of Gene and Stan during the shooting on the set: whole concentration and attention for everything.
This is a unique moment in their story, and in the story of cinema.
Unforgettable.

I LOVE MY FAVORITE SONG, AND THANKS TO THIS CD I CAN LISTEN TO IT ALL DAY LONG!!.......2007-01-28

I love Singin' in the Rain. It was the movie that made me like musicals, not those simple, mellow movies like South Pacific and the Sound of Music, but REAL musicals, with people like Fred Astaire or Eleanor Powell tapping their hearts out, or great singers like Frances Langford or Dick Powell putting over a song like they mean it.The Singin' in the Rain 2disc special edition introduced me to my favorite movie, the Broadway Melody of 1936, the MOST AMAZING MOVIE EVER! So I was so glad when my parents got me the soundtrack to Singin' in the Rain, and besides the music of the 1951 versions of the Nacio Herb Brown/Arthur Freed, there are also the original versions of the songs in their original movies. I am so glad that Rhino put the duet of Robert Taylor and June Knight singing I've Got a Feelin' You're Foolin' on this CD set! It's my favorite song, and now I can listen to it! Hooray!! It's the best song EVER!! There's also vocals of Charles King singing the Broadway Melody, which is great! And many more, like Bing Crosby, Frances Langford, Jeanette MacDonald, and other great singers I can't think of right now. This CD set is great, the sound is nice and un-staticy (mostly), there are 30-plus songs, and the price is phenomenal. I love my favorite song, and now I can listen to it all day long!! Yay! :)

Wonderful Soundtrack to a Wonderful Movie.......2006-06-16

Yes, this is it--the first real musical I ever saw. Okay, I saw "Wizard of Oz" and "The Sound of Music", and I love both of those musicals dearly. I had even seen "My Fair Lady." I thought musicals were all like those. Until this one. I had never seen such dancing. And this CD causes me to relive the joy of the musical each time I listen to it. Complete with the tap sounds. I love that they included even the deleted songs. Now we just need a DVD that has all the deleted scenes in context. But the studio probably threw all those away. Oh well, our imaginations can take care of what is missing.

Great CD.......2006-03-20

This is a great CD of music for your family to listen to. Our family enjoys it very much.

musical memories.......2006-03-14

I enjoyed this CD very much, as I remember seeing the movie years ago. I grew up watching MGM musicals and this was one of the best. I loved all of the wonderful songs that came from this movie. Great sound on this CD.

Various comments to make..........2007-06-11

Yes, as the first reviewer notes this is the Wal-Mart bonus(?) disc that apparently came with the Dignity cd. Having gotten my copy of Dignity elseware I didn't feel compelled to set foot in Wal-Mart so for me it was passable to pick it up here. That said I can say it's ok and if you have no other recent remixes it's a good 5-in-one-place kind of thing. Remixes usually always mean dance mixes, so remember that they are longer and more dance oriented than the already dancable originals. I really like Hilary's music and I love dance music but (with all due respect to those who remixed the tracks on this cd) I think Hilary's remixing world really cries out for the touch of Above and Beyond or Gabriel and Dresden. Such a pairing would really do justice and come up with something as amazing as the stars in the sky.

Do Not Buy!.......2007-05-30

I have this Cd. I Got it at wal-mart for 13.98 but it came with two cd's the Dignity cd, and the remix cd so this is just a rip off. Who would do such a thing

Good film music should be seen and not heard--that is, it's usually there for background, to reinforce what you're seeing, not to draw attention to itself. So why listen to it? Often that's a mystery, but the items in this collection seem to have been selected because they are interesting music (Prokofiev, Copland, Bernstein) or because they are so familiar that they bring back memories of favorite movies (Laura, High Noon, Star Wars). Like much movie music, a lot of these items are sentimental and overblown, even the more famous ones. (Those famous screaming strings in Psycho can sound silly without the onscreen action.) But if you want one movie-music CD in your collection, this may be the one to have. --Leslie Gerber

Worth it for "Conquest" alone.......2005-09-12

The stirring martial music from the movie "Captain from Castille" ("Conquest") is on this album and so far as I know it's the only CD you'll find it on. But other tracks are great also, including the "Parade of the Charioteers" from "Ben Hur," the theme from "The Magnificent Seven," and "The Imperial March" from Star Wars.

A GREAT COMPILATION!.......2005-06-05

I've come to appreciate soundtracks more and more. This compilation progresses chronologically through 60 years of film music, starting with 1939's "The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood", and ending with "Titanic". It encompasses a huge range of styles. Along with the usual suspects - music from "Ben-Hur", "The Magnificent 7", "Star Wars", et al, there are a few real sleepers, like John Barry's medieval-flavored theme to "The Lion in Winter", or Leonard Roseman's lyrical "East of Eden". Blessedly, most of the tracks are original recordings, conducted by the composers, among them Leonard Bernstein and Aaron Copland. Only those of us burned by tinny, tacky, sacriligiously rearranged retreads on obscure labels can appreciate this.

There are a few notable omissions. The prolific Randy Newman isn't represented, though Uncle Alfred is. And NO Ennio Morricone? - incredible! Presumably, this has more to do with Sony's current copyrights and contracts than the relative merits of the composers. And it's fine to have John Williams included twice, but why two pieces from "Star Wars"? Why not the theme from "Jaws", for instance? Or "Sugarland Express", for a really unexpected treat? But these are minor quibbles. And for whatever it's lacking, there's no fluff substituted. This is real music from fine craftsmen, which sometimes attains art. A great intro to the form, and wonderful just to listen to. I bought it used - one of my best deals ever!

So So Compilation.......2002-01-14

My major interest in this CD was in the selection entitled "Robin Hood And His Merry Men" (duration: 4 min, 28 sec), conducted by John Williams, and performed by the London Symphony Orchestra. It turns out that this is a re-issue of the track from Sony Classical SK 62788, 1997. Surprisingly, this performance is poky, ponderous, and prodding. The conducting is, well, somnambulistic. Miking/mixing/processing yields a sonic brick deficient in instrumental nuances while sounding like way too many musicians were shoe horned into the recording studio. As for the rest of the tracks, it's hard to believe, but Silva America offers better compilations! Best to skip this one.

Deserves more than five stars.......2000-06-23

I have several discs of film music, and this one if by far the best. As one of the previous reviewers noted, there are many peices absent that could have been included here, but I don't see how anyone could be completely satisfied with any compilation that fit on just one disc.

The performances here are crisp and clear, and include a good selection of both old and new, ranging from traditional film favorites like the Star Wars theme, to less common selections like the screeching strings from Psycho (at least, I think they're less common, but I could be wrong). And I could listen to the Magnificent Seven theme over and over.

Anyway, this is a great disc for almost anyone. If you're looking for one thing in particular, find that film's soundtrack, but otherwise, this is a fantastic disc, and one of my favorites!

Music In Film (NPR Milestones of the Millennium.......2000-05-02

Great CD;the music is crystal clear with an excellent variety demonstrating the wide variety of musical talents in Hollywood. Liner notes are also most interesting, explaining some of the history behind the cuts and pointing out differences in the composers styles...as with John Barry. His style ranges from "the Lion in Winter" bold dramatic soundtrack to the exquisitley tender "Dances with Wolves" theme music. A CD to enjoy over and over

If this is The Shape Of Things To Come, I'm pumped as f**ck.......2003-09-29

For lack of a better descriptor, it sounds to me like Pro-Pain have dosed up on the super-hardcore-metal-punkrock juice. Sure we got the thrashing-metalcore of yesterday here and there... But "Shreds Of Dignity" finds Gary and the boys leaning away from the thrash-chugging whupass of "Round 6", and bellowing out tighter non-stop hardcore shredders. From the get-go these guys mean business and those intentions carry on from "Gone Fishin" "No Way Out" "Lock N' Load" "Shreds Of Dignity" to "Kill Or Be Killed" My personal fav tracks ... "FOAD", "Down For The Cause" and "24/7"... And you know it's true: If you like Pro-Pain at all, this belongs in your collection. Pick up the covers CD too!!!

Hardcore.......2003-03-08

Veteran NY outfit Pro-Pain is at it again. This time with a relentless noise-fest. Pro-Pain sounds great on this one, all their agressive energy is intact for yet another attack on the world. If you like Biohazard and/or hardcore in general, you'll love this.

Hilary Duff rocks!.......2007-07-28

This is really best album of Hilary Duff and one of the best ones of 2007! Musics are dance-eletro, excellent for dance floor and if the U.S. Regular Edition already is wonderful, the Japanese is only irreplaceable! Hilary Duff has much talent and is chic in this new job.

Hilary Duff, BRAZIL loves you!

Hilary's Dignity.......2007-05-04

With an 80's dance/techno beat Hilary comes back with her new album "Dignity". The album gathers every part that Hilary has become. The album talks a lot about her relationships with love, money, family and herself.

The first song "Stranger" says (Their no kindness in your eyes/the way you look at me is just not right) probably talking about Good Charlotte's front man Joel Madden. It seems that Hilary decided that this (her break up) would be a good theme for the album, since she is 20 an she is learning about relationships; this is notable in " Danger" (where you born in `74/are you the kind of guy that I should ignore?). Basically the whole album follows the same guideline "heartbroken girl" fighting against the world. In "With Love" she says (you can tell me I'm wrong/ that I'm coming on way too strong) probably referring to her wild side. Gypsy woman it definitely a highlight; the song is new, refreshing and the beat is pretty nice. Lyrics follow the story line from Daddy's affair. (Tried to run away with a gypsy woman, here today then gone for good)--(Enjoyed the fame/bringing down the family name). Down the road from number 6 it's an all-good fashion poppy album. "Never Stop" is a favorite, and once it hits the 2-minute mark it never stops. I really enjoyed "Happy" and "Burned" which are two up beat ballads, and last but not least "Play With Fire", this is definitely one of my favorites, the song probably has the most 80's beat (love me/love me/ feel the flame/ if you want me back again).

It is not easy to take risks, sometimes you might fail sometimes you success and this time around Hilary has succeeded--once again.

The Japanese version of the album comes in a beautiful cover with a 50-page booklet. It has a remix for "With Love".

Wow!.......2007-04-08

If you've followed this girl's musical path or are just now arriving as a listener this is one strong album either way. Other reviewers in the past have mentioned being converted after taking a young person to see her live. This record comes closest to capuring the energy of her live shows and as more of an adult effort it speaks to what she has to convey and it's the real thing. The shift to more of a dance beat is superb and shows more insight than trying to become another indie rock clone. I think she is just getting started! This japanese deluxe version is pretty stunning in presentation (as they usually are) and is well worth it if you can do it. The exterior case photgraphy is very cool and the jewel case itself seems to feature the other Japanese cover art for the regular version. The photobook is great and the bonus track is a DJ kaya remix of With Love. The DVD includes a "making of" video about the photobook which the U.S. version doesn't have. Already one of my fav ten cd's in my collection.

Erich Bachman continues his plunge into good ole Americana on the Crooked Fingers' fourth longplayer. This time, it's a Southwestern-leaning record; the opening track, "Islero," is a delightful, mariachi-inspired instrumental. These Calexico-ish touches, however, are primarily window-dressing, as it's not like Bachman's really changed his Springsteen-in-Appalachia style. The album's tunes are all sincere, at times painfully so. These are stripped-down and confessional songs that, while musically good and everything, yearn strongly for better lyrics--either the weighty poetry of a Leonard Cohen or the ironic remove of a Joe Pernice. As it is, the songs seem to sit on the fence, never fully drawing the listener into their tales of love gone wrong. A notable exception is "Call to Love," a straight-ahead burner which sounds more than a little like a collaboration between the Eels and Tom Petty. --Mike McGonigal

Album Description

Crooked Fingers is Eric Bachmann. On his fourth full-length, he's supported by a cast of returning players from his 2003 breakthrough release, "Red Devil Dawn" and a few new faces who bring a depth and intensity to his songs. Embracing great traditions of American music from Appalachian folk, southwestern blues, country, and good old rock 'n' roll, Crooked Fingers take their place alongside artists as respected as Bruce Springsteen, Calexico, and Wilco, while maintaining a kinship with new storytellers like Songs:Ohia, My Morning Jacket, and Will Oldham.

3.5--Crooked Fingers' weakest record.......2006-07-13

While many will enjoy this record (touted by the label as more 'accessible' than earlier releases), I wanted to write a review that addressed what I consider to be this album's place in the Crooked Fingers discography.

Eric Bachmann's voice is gritty and broken-down, and in my opinion is one of those voices that a listener either loves or hates. I love it, but the songs on this album don't put it to its highest and best use. Earlier records fit song-style to voice much better. I.e., those earlier records not only sound less polished, they are songs _about_ being broken-down, left-out, mis-fit (ahem, "crooked-fingered"). Listen to the cover of "Sunday Morning Coming Down" from _Reservoir Songs_ and you will hear what I mean. This album is dominated by driving, anthemic songs that are much more confident, even bouyant. Bachmann's voice seems a bit out of place, especially in duets with sweet-sounding women singers.

It may be argued that this album is a healthy progression of Crooked Fingers' sound, and that is for individual fans to decide. But I strongly encourage anyone new to Crooked Fingers to check out those earlier recordings, if not before this one, at least concurrently.

OK-ish.......2005-09-05

Part Tom Petty, part Bob Dylan, part Paul Westerberg but with the indie sensibility which should mean that alt.country and lofi fans would be up for it. The addition of the angelic Sarah Shannon on backing vocals was a masterstroke.

Wow!!!.......2005-07-21

Okay, it's July by now. I think my most favorite cd of this year 2005 will be the newest one from the Walkabouts (which will be released in august) but this one is really, really my number one bij so far!! I love, love love it and keep on listening to it!! Who are you Crooked Fingers? I don't know but I will check it out. Thanks for the wonderfull songs. And to everybody else, buy this beautifull cd!!

gwgngknvWN.......2005-04-19

Crooked Fingers is one of those bands that I have heard good things about. I was never into Archer of Loaf, but many people who worked in the office with me in the mid 1990s, spoke of them. This is their fourth album. Where was I? The first song "Islero" sounds like Calexico. Other songs like "Weary Arms" and "Call To Love" sound more indie folk and new wave. This album has a similar look to it as the new one by Arcade Fire. Maybe the same designer? Maybe these bands will be playing together a lot soon. This record is supposed to be a new direction for the band. Lara Meyerattken adds vocals to some songs. Much of this album relies on American roots music and western swing. It's a dynamic record. It's a valid statement. It's very artistic and pure.

This guy deserves more recognition.......2005-03-26

I'm not sure I'd call this Crooked Fingers best album but I would call it the bands most consistent. I'm not familiar with "Archers of Loaf", but I am impressed with the evolution of Eric Bachman's writing over the four Crooked Fingers discs. One can't ignore the Spanish influence throughout "Dignity and Shame". My favorite cut is "Twilight Creeps". He talks of a woman named Flower-
"Why does everybody always act so tough, when all anybody wants is to find a friend?
Why is everybody always trying to hide the heart which hidden has no use?"
Strong lyric backed with a Mariachi band and you've got a 5 star song. Other standouts are "Valerie","Destroyer" "You Must Build a Fire", and "Call to Arms" Comparisons to Springsteen, Wilco and Steve Earle as well as Iron and Wine all make sense. He does sound a bit like Neil Diamond vocally, but maybe I only think that because of his kick ass version of "Solitary Man" on "Resevoir Songs". I'm just surprised this guy isn't more than a cult hero. I'd love to see his band live. I bet they put on a good show.

Hooper CD a must for comedy fans.......2000-01-14

Having been a comedy fan for over 20 years, it is hard to find a comedy CD that makes me laugh. Maryellen Hooper is one of those rare CD's. Maryellen has an incredible sense of humor and a great sense of timing. The only flaw is that you aren't able to see her as she performs. I have seen Maryellen live several times, and not only is her humor incredible, but her facial expressions are a scream. I have listened to this CD over 20 times and I still laugh every time. If you are only going to buy one comedy album this year, I would highly recommend Maryellen Hooper's Dignity Under Duress. And if you get the opportunity to see Maryellen live, GO! After seeing her live, it brings this CD to life. From her experiences as a hairstylist, to her car accident, to meeting her boyfriends parents, this comedy show has it all. It is easy to see why Maryellen was the Female Comedian ot the Year in 1998.
