Good Music..... With Iintelligent Mature Song Writing.......2007-07-02

One or two song are a bit off but the album as a whole is very good and true to life...with songs like Cheatin man, no one I know of has a song like that. Other good tracks are Yes...Spittin'Game...Hartstrings....50/50 love...Cold Turkey and Part of My Life, are all good songs.
(This is the kind of maturity in song writing that you should get from people like R. Kelly at his age and 15 year music career.)
If you like this album check out...Raul Midon's State Of Mind...A little different but very good.

Truer words never sung before..........2007-03-28

If you are trying to decide between this and the new Anthony David, I'd go with 3 Chords and Da TRUTH!!!! This one is a more balanced and fresher representation of Mr. David. Track 2-->"Heartstrings", "Yes", "Believe Me" and "Cheatin' Man" are samples of the GREAT LYRICAL MATURITY on this album. I just listened to The Red Clay Chronicles and some of the same songs from 3 Chords get re-done (not necessarily better). Red Clay also does one too many shout out songs to Atlanta and I'm ATL to the bone--born, raised, and to the grave. On 3 Chords, the ATL/GA pride is just enough to make a person nostalgic but not too much where I'd have get out mapquest if I wasn't from "The A." If you're on a budget and want some straight up soul food for ya ears, THREE CHORDS & THE TRUTH won't run up ya' presha or mess with ya' suga as the old folks say...

Solid Debut!.......2007-02-09

I had the pleasure of seeing Anthony David open for India.Arie when she came here last month. And even though I had heard of the name, I hadn't heard his music. So I was truly interested in what this guy had to offer. Well, little did I know that I'd be captivated from the very first song. Song after song, I found myself enjoying every note that he played on his 6-string guitar and every lyric that he spoke. As he sat on the stool under the spotlight, I couldn't help but wonder why I had never heard his music before. Well, I actually had heard his work...unbeknownst to me. He worked on India.Arie's first album and co-wrote her latest single "There's Hope." So I really had to get my hands on his two cds. Although he has a new album called The Red Clay Chronicles, I found myself drawn to his more acoustic debut album 3 Chords & The Truth.

Although not the strongest singer out there, his creativity and songwriting make up for his limited singing range. "Yes" starts off the album, instantly submerging you into his emotional magnificence. His heartfelt lyrics continue on "Heartstrings," again drawing the listener into a familiar story about wondering if somebody is worth the risk of loving wholeheartedly. The live performance of "Spittin' Game" is a brazen song about what else...spitting game! The standout track "Cold Turkey" had everybody entertained at the concert because of the wickedly funny yet sometimes factual occurrence of not being able to stop loving someone at the drop of a dime. "50/50 Love" is a decent reggae-tinged ditty, while "GA Peach" talks about the lovely ladies of Anthony David's home state. "Believe Me" is a cool, self-assured melody on trusting someone to love you the right way.

"Ain't Enough For Me" discusses the feeling of wanting to spend more time with that special someone, while "Cheatin' Man" speaks on making the mistake of stepping out on your woman even though you know it's the wrong thing to do. "Skyline" is a simple, subdued tale about dedicating yourself to another person. "Part Of My Life" is his renditon of the India.Arie song he co-wrote for her first album Acoustic Soul. He closes the album with the hilarious "Krooked Kop" and the the tranquil "The Water/The Fire." Do yourself a favor and pick up 3 Chords & The Truth. And if you like what you hear, there's always more with The Red Clay Chronicles.[....]

great neosoul album.......2006-10-23

what more can i say? love it!!

my favorites:
yes
ga peach
krooked cop
cold turkey

Back to Soul.......2006-10-06

I initially heard Spittin Game and Cold Turkey on XM radio. However they discontinued the station, so it was months until I heard it again. When I finally found out who the artist was I had to get the cd. This cd was everything I expected. This guy has a rich and soulful sound. I like several tracks, of course Spittin Game and Cold Turkey, but Cheatin Man is so heartfelt. You really can visualize the story that's getting told. Believe Me, Water/Fire-the flute is on point, GA Peach, and Crooked Cop are great also. I also liked Can You Be A Part of My Life. I actually heard India.Aire's version first, but they're both nice! As you can see I really liked this cd.

Customer Reviews:

Not very imaginative.......2004-02-03

Harbison's flute concerto does not contribute with anything fresh, or new, to the flute concerto repertoire. It is nothing but a dull, unimaginative piece. Harbison has gained national recognition, his music gets performances everywhere; his reviews, most of the time positive, especially in the Boston area, prove how much politics goes on in the concert-music world. He has saddly become a composer of the "one more's". One more symphony, one more violin concerto, one more cello concerto, one more Requiem... everything sounds like a task: Harbison is just filling paper with notes, and his wallet with big bucks from juicy commisions.

brilliantly performed, highly enjoyable. Buy it !

Customer Reviews:

Bartok bonanza.......2000-09-17

If you're looking for a single CD that will introduce you to the treasure-house of Bartok's piano works, you can't do better than this. Szokolay brings each of the 55 short selections here to vivid life, from the simple and understated ones to the harmonically challenging, from the folk rhythms to the austere and meditative mini-masterpieces. The piano sound is just a little thick compared to the best piano recordings, but its very lack of sharpness helps to keep some of the more percussive pieces from sounding too brittle. I enjoy this more with every hearing. Hats off to Naxos for a great buy.

Amazon.com essential recording

Bartók's Mikrokosmos ("Little World") essentially comprises 153 teaching pieces, divided into six books of progressive difficulty. These works make ideal vehicles for budding piano students who are ready to face the myriad challenges of 20th-century keyboard music. They also reveal the kernels of the Hungarian composer's uncompromising compositional style. György Sándor was a piano pupil of Bartók's, and his fluid, perceptive playing is unfailingly idiomatic, from the simple, canon-like exercises at the start to the demanding Six Dances in Bulgarian Rhythm that crown the cycle. The mono engineering is thin but acceptable. Suffice it to say that the composer would have been proud of what his pupil achieves here. --Jed Distler

Customer Reviews:

The slender difference that makes the great difference!.......2006-09-29

At the actual moments it's hard to find out that unusual and missed way of play Bartok with these well known dissonant inflections, for all of us who had the immense privilege to watch this legendary pianist twice in Caracas in the seventies and eighties. To this reviewer, it will be absolutely impossible to forget his egregious presence and powering [...], steeled phrasing hovered by that special reverberation and acidic lyricism at the moment to play Out of doors that cold night of December 9, 1982.

Without another intention in mind, but intending to illustrate and motive the newcomer listener, I would say that in just few counted occasions (Richter and Prokoviev, Ravel and Cortot) there has been such chemical rapport between composer and performer.

At least in my case, I have not heard about any other pianist able to sound so sarcastic, reverberating and genuinely Hungarian as Gyorgy Sandor did it.

So I really hope you to keep in mind all these previous considerations at the moment to make this wise choice. Go for this record without any shadow of doubt.

This album is now part of the mythic legend of the treasures for keyboard.

No other pianist will sound so astonishingly as Sandor does.

Complete recordings of Mikrokosmos are relatively common these days, but aside from guiding students I wonder what purpose they serve. This is a series of piano study pieces starting at the most basic level, and the music with genuine listening interest really begins only with Book 3 (of 6). Similarly the duets are mostly teaching pieces, and though they make for good listening in small groups, the entire series becomes tiresome. Bartók wrote magnificent music, and the later books of Mikrokosmos are filled with superb little pieces. But though the performances in this set are all excellent, not much of the music is basic Bartók. --Leslie Gerber
