Tom O'Neill has been at the songwriting game since the late sixties. Foundations in rock and roll migrated through blues, country, bluegrass and into jazz. Recording at RCA in the seventies with session players like Michael Brecker, Will Lee, Steve Gadd, further developped his craft of singwriting. began the process of producing and releasing his huge catalogue of songs on Pearl Street Records. Tom O'Neill is an ASCAP songwriiter to watch!
Product Description
Adult oriented pop, written in a sophisticated style.A true lyrical adventure touching everyday emotions. There are nuances of a variety of musical styles, pulled together by some of the most memorable melodic "hooks" you've heard. This is a truely memorable album by a consumate songwriter of 30 years. Don't be surprised to hear some of the biggest names in the music business cover Tom O'Neill tunes.
Please buy it.
The First, Second, Third and Fourth Bookes of Songes, A Musicall Banquet, the keyboard transcriptions, all the lute music, consort music are here and virtually everything else written or supposedly written by John Dowland. Anthony Rooley and The Consort of Musicke perform this music with style and feeling throughout. This 12 CD set is something of a monument to the ensemble - I only wish they'd finished their collection of Monteverdi madrigals, which was equally good (La Venexiana are currently doing a magnificent job of recording all Monteverdi's books of madrigals for the GLOSSA label).
This is an expensive set, however, you will probably never need to buy another John Dowland CD again after buying and listening to this collection.
I bought this CD set on a mild Summer evening of 1998 and listened to it while sitting in my sun room - which a glorious orange sunset in progress, and a glass of wine. It brought back so many memories.
At the end of the song "Ole Slewfoot" you clearly hear someone in the recording studio say, "You wanna play this again just 'cause it's fun to play?" This simple question summarizes the whole CD. It's full of studio sessions, outtakes, and material that wasn't used on their previous album -- I wish that other artists' albums were as consistently good as this CD of "throwaway material."
If you're already a fan of BARK, you will instantly play this over and over again because it's that catchy and good! My favorite songs here are "Down by the Henry Moore," "Ole Slewfoot," and "Don't Blame Your Blues on Me." (If you're curious about the group in general, check out my review for "Let's Frolic.")
Now if you ask me, and a lot of devotees of compilation music anthology type deals do on a semi-regular basis, then this here monster collection of Bruce Cockburn works is the best to date... the best compilation, that is.
Before you commence to thinking that the profit hungry marketers have done it to us again and just thrown in a bunch of cuts we already purchased plus a couple of new tracks to make us pay for the entire package of songs and, thus, milk us for sales of songs we already purchased... I got news for you. There are indeed two songs that were new to this here CD when it come out, "Waiting for a Miracle" and "Stolen Land." However, there are a few more songs that are slightly different than other versions and worth taking a listen to. For example, the version of "Mama Just Wants to Barrelhouse All Night Long" on this CD is taken from the film 'Rumours of Glory' and ain't like any you ever heard before. From that same film they took the song "Rumours of Glory" and present it here on this CD. "Fascist Architecture" and "The Trouble with Normal" are versions that were, at the time, previously unreleased and somewhat different than other versions.
There are eleven tracks more on the Canadian version, ain't none of them rare or unknown for the Bruce Cockburn aficionado, but if you're going to spend the money and you want better value for dollar... then I'd pony up and fork over enough for the Canadian version. On the other hand, if you're Canadian, since the loonie don't really buy much seeing as how it is so weak, you might have to fork over even more if you want this (or any other ) CD. We folk in Chesterfield County call the Canadian loonie the "Northern Peso."
This here CD is a good way to jump in and get to know the music real quick if you never heard Bruce before. If you got six or seven albums already and are looking to buy more... I wouldn't start here unless you take careful stock of the songs on offer and make sure the majority of them are new to you. Otherwise, buy a different album that will expose you to a total collection of cuts you ain't never heard before. For all you folk out there who absolutely must have everything Bruce Cockburn has ever released, then make an effort to get this one. I write that because the cuts taken from the film soundtrack are nice deviations from what we all grew to love on the original albums and you will sleep better knowing you have another hole in your collection plugged up.
"Breakable" is revelational. What a completely different perspective, but so true.
While there are divas with more training or fancier voices, Fisher is extremely fulfilling because her songwriting is deep, melodic, intelligent, & perfectly suited for her voice. This was a very, very satisfying CD & I highly recommend it to you connoiseurs who know the difference between original recordings & a POS mp3.
The common thread through each song is Kathy Fisher's voice: sultry, powerful, and always striking just the right tone for the music. Comparisons to Sarah McLachlan or Poe or Lori Carson spring to mind almost immediately, but all these comparisons fail because ultimately, Fisher's voice is a unique addition to the world of female vocalists. It is a rare beauty that can swing from soft to sensuous to strident in moments.
The songs themselves are as unique as the voice. Showcasing heartfelt and honest lyrics ("It's all right if you fall, you are human after all, but it hurts when you land on my life.") with strong musical accompaniment (sometimes a full band, sometimes just a piano), each song is its own a story, and each one merits multiple hearings.
There is an honesty on 'True North', not just in the lyrics but in how they are sung, in how the songs express themselves as a whole. Simply put: a beautiful voice and great music. It doesn't get much better than this!
I know that since this CD is an import, you can't listen to clips of this on Amazon. However, you should be able to listen to clips of their CDs "Bark" and "Kings of Love" here. ("BARK" is an excellent introduction and "Kings of Love" is another great one,) but you may just have to take my word on them.
If you like John Hiatt, Neil Young, and Willie Nelson then you will FALL IN LOVE with this album!!!!
Twila has a purity and humility about her music that is rare, inspiring and worth depositing into your spirit. It's not just good music, it ministers to your inner being.
I recommend this cd without reservation.
As a Pastor, sometimes I will listen to this cd in my pastoral study as part of my worship time in preparation for a sermon. This cd is that good.
I've been blessed by this cd for many years now. I still recommend it!
The title song, "True North," is an excellent metaphor with a moving message. "Delight My Heart" might get some pans as waffling in the Calvinist-Arminian debate, but I like the song. Perhaps the best on the CD is the reflective sinner's prayer, "Could You Believe," a song pointing out that we Christians distort the true image of God before unbelievers - and maybe if we reflected God better, more people would believe in Him as opposed to our own caricature.
An honest effort. I call it 3.5 stars for some of the buzz tunes like "Run To You," something hardly in the usual Twila worshipi category. Good songs are great; poor songs are poor. But try it and let me know what you think.
Notable songs: Construction Worker, Runouttaluck, Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five, Saints at the Gates
The Golden Dogs have an overall sound like some other current Canadian bands and so, although they may not want to hear this, they share some similarities with both The Arcade Fire and Sloan. And although they may not list Super Furry Animals as one of their influences, Dave Azzolini's vocal style reminds me a little of Gruff Rhys. Mix all of that with a small dose of early Police, and you have the unique style of the Dogs.
Many of the tracks on the CD have a lo-fi sound that I wasn't expecting. Lo-fi recordings work well for bands like Neutral Milk Hotel, but after hearing The Golden Dogs live I think this recording would have benefited from a little more fidelity. The album starts out with a two-star effort called Dynamo that contains a repetitive guitar-riff and a fairly bland vocal melody. But I'm focusing on the wrong thing here; there is no point talking about the few songs that are not noteworthy because more than half of the tracks are really good alternative pop/rock songs that grew on me quickly.
The second track on the CD, Never Meant Any Harm, starts of with a bit of 80's pop synth which is not something that I would normally enjoy. But the vocals and guitar are nicely done and the song builds up over the three minutes to a point that I'm drawn in. I'm able to get past my fear of the 80's sound because there's enough depth later in the song to keep me more than satisfied. Another really strong track on the album is appropriately named Strong. I love the reserved beginning, the amazing play between Azzolini's lead vocals and Jessica Grassia's backing vocals, as well as the final 60 seconds that is filled with a driving beat and wah-pedal guitar. The last song that needs to be singled out and praised is a cover of a song by Paul McCartney and Wings called 1985 that obviously has a strong 1970's rock feel to it with loads of interesting changes, classic guitar solos, and a keyboard part that will have you hooked in under a minute. All three of these songs, including the cover, have formidable commercial promise. Other great efforts are Runouttaluck, Life On The Line, and Force of Nature.
The more I listen to this album, the more I get addicted to Azzolini's guitar and Grassia's vocals. The other band members fill in the music well, and I don't want to downplay their importance, but it is the strength of Azzolini and Gassia working together that is the real allure. I could see a connection between them on stage, and I can hear it on this album. I've added all tracks from this CD to my permanent iTunes collection and put 7 of the songs into my current playlists. When I listen to these songs, what I really want to do is get out and see The Golden Dogs live again. My recommendation is to first buy the CD to hear their songs, then get yourself out to one of their shows. Check The Golden Dogs Gig Page for details on where you can catch them live. Maybe I'll see you there.
band in the world. They certainly are the most under rated band in the Americana genre. Even though all three members are stars in their own right in their native Canada, there is most definitely no clash of egos from this group of Canucks. To the contrary, there is an undeniable chemistry and kinship among them that, in my opinion, makes them one of the mot talented trios of all time (I can attest to that having the opportunity
True North, indeed.
Oustanding in every aspect, highly recommended.

The greatest songs ever?.......2007-07-26
Please buy it.
A musical treasure-box.......2006-09-10
The First, Second, Third and Fourth Bookes of Songes, A Musicall Banquet, the keyboard transcriptions, all the lute music, consort music are here and virtually everything else written or supposedly written by John Dowland. Anthony Rooley and The Consort of Musicke perform this music with style and feeling throughout. This 12 CD set is something of a monument to the ensemble - I only wish they'd finished their collection of Monteverdi madrigals, which was equally good (La Venexiana are currently doing a magnificent job of recording all Monteverdi's books of madrigals for the GLOSSA label).
This is an expensive set, however, you will probably never need to buy another John Dowland CD again after buying and listening to this collection.
I bought this CD set on a mild Summer evening of 1998 and listened to it while sitting in my sun room - which a glorious orange sunset in progress, and a glass of wine. It brought back so many memories.
a beautiful journey into melancholy.......2001-06-15
Dowland, a contemporary of Shakespeare, discovered that meditating on a sad theme is, at the same time, a way of discovering a special beauty that we tend to avoid (maybe because of the "tragic" heritage of the Romantics). So, in the end, meditating on sadness is an uplifting experience! This box set is a journey into melancholy that includes songs, chamber music, pieces for lute, some rare sacred music and -as a highlight- Dowland's beautiful collection of seven pieces for viola which he called "Lachrimae" (Tears).

I was frolicking, now I'm rollicking!.......2007-07-03
At the end of the song "Ole Slewfoot" you clearly hear someone in the recording studio say, "You wanna play this again just 'cause it's fun to play?" This simple question summarizes the whole CD. It's full of studio sessions, outtakes, and material that wasn't used on their previous album -- I wish that other artists' albums were as consistently good as this CD of "throwaway material."
If you're already a fan of BARK, you will instantly play this over and over again because it's that catchy and good! My favorite songs here are "Down by the Henry Moore," "Ole Slewfoot," and "Don't Blame Your Blues on Me." (If you're curious about the group in general, check out my review for "Let's Frolic.")

His 19th Album.......2004-12-17
Now if you ask me, and a lot of devotees of compilation music anthology type deals do on a semi-regular basis, then this here monster collection of Bruce Cockburn works is the best to date... the best compilation, that is.
Before you commence to thinking that the profit hungry marketers have done it to us again and just thrown in a bunch of cuts we already purchased plus a couple of new tracks to make us pay for the entire package of songs and, thus, milk us for sales of songs we already purchased... I got news for you. There are indeed two songs that were new to this here CD when it come out, "Waiting for a Miracle" and "Stolen Land." However, there are a few more songs that are slightly different than other versions and worth taking a listen to. For example, the version of "Mama Just Wants to Barrelhouse All Night Long" on this CD is taken from the film 'Rumours of Glory' and ain't like any you ever heard before. From that same film they took the song "Rumours of Glory" and present it here on this CD. "Fascist Architecture" and "The Trouble with Normal" are versions that were, at the time, previously unreleased and somewhat different than other versions.
There are eleven tracks more on the Canadian version, ain't none of them rare or unknown for the Bruce Cockburn aficionado, but if you're going to spend the money and you want better value for dollar... then I'd pony up and fork over enough for the Canadian version. On the other hand, if you're Canadian, since the loonie don't really buy much seeing as how it is so weak, you might have to fork over even more if you want this (or any other ) CD. We folk in Chesterfield County call the Canadian loonie the "Northern Peso."
This here CD is a good way to jump in and get to know the music real quick if you never heard Bruce before. If you got six or seven albums already and are looking to buy more... I wouldn't start here unless you take careful stock of the songs on offer and make sure the majority of them are new to you. Otherwise, buy a different album that will expose you to a total collection of cuts you ain't never heard before. For all you folk out there who absolutely must have everything Bruce Cockburn has ever released, then make an effort to get this one. I write that because the cuts taken from the film soundtrack are nice deviations from what we all grew to love on the original albums and you will sleep better knowing you have another hole in your collection plugged up.

Terrific Overview of the First Half of Cockburn's Career.......2000-12-15
I bought this on vinyl when it first came out just to get the two new songs. When I began converting to CDs a few years ago, I got this collection because it had eleven more tracks than the vinyl edition. If you're familiar with Cockburn only since 1984's Stealing Fire (which garnered some MTV play with "If I Had a Rocket Launcher"), this is a cost-effective way to catch up on the first half of this eclectic singer-songwriter's career. Cockburn is a masterful guitar player (both acoustic and electric) and a prolific songwriter (he wrote all of the songs here) utitilizing a variety of music styles often with overtly political lyrics--especially on his later work. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Sliding in alongside her rock sisters Tori Amos and Aimee Mann, Kathy Fisher's edgy, sadly beautiful vocals and alt-rock prowess lay the foundation for True North, her major-label debut. --Michael WellsCustomer Reviews:
once in a while, a perfect album appears.......2007-05-31
Beautiful, sensitive, intelligent.......2007-03-08
"Breakable" is revelational. What a completely different perspective, but so true.
While there are divas with more training or fancier voices, Fisher is extremely fulfilling because her songwriting is deep, melodic, intelligent, & perfectly suited for her voice. This was a very, very satisfying CD & I highly recommend it to you connoiseurs who know the difference between original recordings & a POS mp3.
Every Song a Love Song.......2007-03-04
The common thread through each song is Kathy Fisher's voice: sultry, powerful, and always striking just the right tone for the music. Comparisons to Sarah McLachlan or Poe or Lori Carson spring to mind almost immediately, but all these comparisons fail because ultimately, Fisher's voice is a unique addition to the world of female vocalists. It is a rare beauty that can swing from soft to sensuous to strident in moments.
The songs themselves are as unique as the voice. Showcasing heartfelt and honest lyrics ("It's all right if you fall, you are human after all, but it hurts when you land on my life.") with strong musical accompaniment (sometimes a full band, sometimes just a piano), each song is its own a story, and each one merits multiple hearings.
There is an honesty on 'True North', not just in the lyrics but in how they are sung, in how the songs express themselves as a whole. Simply put: a beautiful voice and great music. It doesn't get much better than this!

The Best Band that you've never heard of!.......2007-01-09
I know that since this CD is an import, you can't listen to clips of this on Amazon. However, you should be able to listen to clips of their CDs "Bark" and "Kings of Love" here. ("BARK" is an excellent introduction and "Kings of Love" is another great one,) but you may just have to take my word on them.
If you like John Hiatt, Neil Young, and Willie Nelson then you will FALL IN LOVE with this album!!!!

As both a multiple-award-winning artist of Christian pop music and composer of modern hymns, Twila Paris walks in grace, surrounding her audience with light and abundant joy. With True North, her first adult contemporary recording in a handful of years, Paris continues this journey of servitude. Produced by Charlie Peacock, this collection of songs thoroughly integrates scriptural tenets, modern musical phrasing, sparkling band arrangements, and Paris's clear-water vocals. Never showy or overly admonishing, these pleasant litanies steer a course of clarity and thematic artistry toward the presence of God within everyday experiences, worship, and spiritual growth. Violins dance, cellos and Hammond organ add texture, piano and acoustic guitar chords circle warmly round layered harmonies and understated melody. Elegant and simple in its wisdom, True North benevolently beckons the listener home. --Paige La GroneCustomer Reviews:
Continues to be a great cd.......2007-05-03
Twila has a purity and humility about her music that is rare, inspiring and worth depositing into your spirit. It's not just good music, it ministers to your inner being.
I recommend this cd without reservation.
As a Pastor, sometimes I will listen to this cd in my pastoral study as part of my worship time in preparation for a sermon. This cd is that good.
I've been blessed by this cd for many years now. I still recommend it!
The Good, The Bad, The Twila...........2005-12-23
The title song, "True North," is an excellent metaphor with a moving message. "Delight My Heart" might get some pans as waffling in the Calvinist-Arminian debate, but I like the song. Perhaps the best on the CD is the reflective sinner's prayer, "Could You Believe," a song pointing out that we Christians distort the true image of God before unbelievers - and maybe if we reflected God better, more people would believe in Him as opposed to our own caricature.
An honest effort. I call it 3.5 stars for some of the buzz tunes like "Run To You," something hardly in the usual Twila worshipi category. Good songs are great; poor songs are poor. But try it and let me know what you think.
Powerful.......2005-07-02
Twila Paris - "True North".......2002-08-18
She never fails to pull it off!.......2001-07-20
Simply put, she holds firm to her convictions of who Jesus is and what He has done, but presents her beliefs in an easily accesible form. The driving passionate feel of Wisdom, the joyous pump of Delight My Heart, and the subtle depth of the title cut make this a great addition to her list of projects. It will be a welcomed addition to your collection of Christian Music. This faithful friend vulnerably presents herself and her life once more as a daughter of grace.

Notable songs: Construction Worker, Runouttaluck, Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five, Saints at the Gates
A Little Something Lost Between Stage Performance And This Recording.......2006-08-30
The Golden Dogs have an overall sound like some other current Canadian bands and so, although they may not want to hear this, they share some similarities with both The Arcade Fire and Sloan. And although they may not list Super Furry Animals as one of their influences, Dave Azzolini's vocal style reminds me a little of Gruff Rhys. Mix all of that with a small dose of early Police, and you have the unique style of the Dogs.
Many of the tracks on the CD have a lo-fi sound that I wasn't expecting. Lo-fi recordings work well for bands like Neutral Milk Hotel, but after hearing The Golden Dogs live I think this recording would have benefited from a little more fidelity. The album starts out with a two-star effort called Dynamo that contains a repetitive guitar-riff and a fairly bland vocal melody. But I'm focusing on the wrong thing here; there is no point talking about the few songs that are not noteworthy because more than half of the tracks are really good alternative pop/rock songs that grew on me quickly.
The second track on the CD, Never Meant Any Harm, starts of with a bit of 80's pop synth which is not something that I would normally enjoy. But the vocals and guitar are nicely done and the song builds up over the three minutes to a point that I'm drawn in. I'm able to get past my fear of the 80's sound because there's enough depth later in the song to keep me more than satisfied. Another really strong track on the album is appropriately named Strong. I love the reserved beginning, the amazing play between Azzolini's lead vocals and Jessica Grassia's backing vocals, as well as the final 60 seconds that is filled with a driving beat and wah-pedal guitar. The last song that needs to be singled out and praised is a cover of a song by Paul McCartney and Wings called 1985 that obviously has a strong 1970's rock feel to it with loads of interesting changes, classic guitar solos, and a keyboard part that will have you hooked in under a minute. All three of these songs, including the cover, have formidable commercial promise. Other great efforts are Runouttaluck, Life On The Line, and Force of Nature.
The more I listen to this album, the more I get addicted to Azzolini's guitar and Grassia's vocals. The other band members fill in the music well, and I don't want to downplay their importance, but it is the strength of Azzolini and Gassia working together that is the real allure. I could see a connection between them on stage, and I can hear it on this album. I've added all tracks from this CD to my permanent iTunes collection and put 7 of the songs into my current playlists. When I listen to these songs, what I really want to do is get out and see The Golden Dogs live again. My recommendation is to first buy the CD to hear their songs, then get yourself out to one of their shows. Check The Golden Dogs Gig Page for details on where you can catch them live. Maybe I'll see you there.

Album Description
First U. S. Release! BARK marks the highly anticipated U.S. debut of the Juno Award-winning Canadian group Blackie & the Rodeo Kings. Stephen Fearing, Colin Linden and Tom Wilson formed the band as a tribute to the much respected but little known Willie P. Bennett in late 1995. In 1996 their debut album High or Hurtin' was released to critical acclaim in Canada. All three continued their successful solo careers garnering numerous individual awards and nominations. The chemistry which first brought the trio together drew them back in 1999, resulting in the Juno Award-winning double album Kings of Love. The album's unique fusion of rock, roots, folk, blues and country influences established the band as favorites of both music fans and critics alike. Their newest effort finds the trio maturing musically, featuring some of the best material that these three talented songwriters have ever put to disc. Recorded in the winter of 2003, BARK captures the raw energy of the band, from the honky tonk twang of "Swinging from the Chains of Love," to the world weariness of "Stoned," to the unabashed and infectious rock 'n' roll of "Had Enough of You Today." BARK features 12 original songs, as well as covers of Willie P. Bennett's "Willie's Diamond Joe" and Bruce Cockburn's "Tie Me at the Crossroads." Featured musicians include Richard Bell (the Band), Gary Craig (Anne Murray, Jann Arden) and John Dymond (Bruce Cockburn, Natalie MacMaster). BARK mixes the many strengths of these talented artists to forge a uniquely entertaining and powerful record.Album Description
2003 release for Canadian recording act & winners of the 2000 Juno Award for Best Roots & Traditional Group Album. 14 tracks. True North.Customer Reviews:
The best band that you have never heard!!.......2004-06-05
band in the world. They certainly are the most under rated band in the Americana genre. Even though all three members are stars in their own right in their native Canada, there is most definitely no clash of egos from this group of Canucks. To the contrary, there is an undeniable chemistry and kinship among them that, in my opinion, makes them one of the mot talented trios of all time (I can attest to that having the opportunity
to recently meet them, and see them in concert, great guys).
In addition, their group of backing musicians including, Gary Craig, & Richard Bell, are superb. Their most recent effort,
Bark is a tasty mix of rockabilly, blues, country, & roots rock.
Their previous effort, Kings of Love, is more of the same. If you are fan of The Band, John Hiatt, Whiskeytown (before Ryan's ego exploded), etc., be sure to check these guys out.
Cool roots-rock, country and blues from Canada.......2004-04-23
Album of the year 2003.......2004-01-03
The lyrics are wicked and insightful. "I got a feeling stinging like a new tatoo black across my mind" -- (from Water Or Gasoline by Blackie and the Rodeo Kings). Moods range from rockabilly to ballads to psychadelic rock. BARK is gonna jump up and bite you.
If you only buy one album in the next while, this is the one to get.
