Love It!!!!.......2007-01-09
My "T.E.V.I.N" review.......2006-08-08
"Just Ask Me To", "Lil Brother" and "She's All That" all have similar sounds: they all sound very dated. I didn't really enjoy none of these songs, they just sounded like fillers. "Confused", on the other hand, is a very nice song. I enjoyed every second of this song. I love the arrangement of the chorus, how the notes fluctuate. Vocally, this song is also wonderful. "Tell Me What You Want Me to Do" is another album highlight. This is an excellent song throughout. The production, lyrics, and naturally, the vocals, are all something to remember. Tevin lets his talent simply shine on this song. His falsettos will just make you melt. Tevin has a song on here entitled "One Song". This is another impressive number. This song is about how one song can change the world. "Round and Round" was produced by musical genius Prince. This song has the typical Prince sound. Anyone who is even remotely familiar with Prince knows that when he produces a song, people will know it simply from the sound. "Perfect World" is a cute love song. The chorus is worth mentioning; "Since I met you, it's such a perfect world..."
I really enjoyed this album. It's nice to know that you can put music like this in and be reminded of earlier times in your life.

He's All That.......2005-12-13
Somewhere along the line, R&B became a lot less about R and only vaguely connected to the B. It was as slick and as studio oriented as much of the product of contemporary white artists. Clearly it was sassier and more street smart than most of the other stuff we were hearing on the radio. But by then, we old guys had pretty much abandoned the radio anyway, and were more likely to hole up with our old Aretha or Tina albums than we were to listen to the newer artists--or for that matter to even listen to most of the newer Aretha or Tina albums.
It's very easy to become and old fuddy duddy. All you have to do is live long enough. But it's also a good exercise to at least occasionally explore music you might have otherwise ignored or abandoned. Whenever I listen to urban R&B of the past 15 years or so, I am often surprised by it. The production is slicker, the arrangements more sophisticated, and the songs more frankly sexual than what we used to call R&B. But it still works, and even if there are few divas to rival Aretha (just wait a millenium or two), the singers are much more powerful and emotive than I ever would have guessed.
Take Tevin Campbell, for example, I do recall hearing the name in the early 90s, but I don't think I was even aware that his popularity soared and then diminished precipitously as he matured. (And, yes, after reading some of the postings here, I realize that that may have had a lot to do with some personal "troubles"--some of which, in this supposedly enlightened age, should never have been so troubling.)
But anyway, what a voice! The adolescent "Tevvy Tev" of this record had a remarkable range. He opens this album with a Prince song, "Round and Round," which evokes Prince but does not slavishly imitate his phrasing. The wail that begins and ends the song sounds almost primitive, like a call to a tribal gathering. A remarkable performance for so young an artist.
And speaking of his age (14 to 15) at the time of this recording, there is a youthful buoyancy to most of these tracks that is refreshing and quite honest. For the most part, he sings as if he's 15 and not 30. A playful song like "Little Brother"--featuring singer Tyler Collins in the role of the unattainable exotic SEVENTEEN year old he's pursuing--plays off his youth in an lively, exuberant way. Tevin sounds irrepressible and just a little cocky. And that's part of his appeal throughout.
And he can just as handily take on a love-and-brotherhood Alan and Marilyn Bergman showstopper like "One Song" and imbue it with depth and meaning that many adult singers could never muster. Ideals that might sound a little schlocky expressed by a more mature singer sound just about right (and a heck of a lot less naive) when sung by a younger artist.
Like so many R&B records of the 80s and 90s, this record splits up production duties, and this time they're divvied up among some of the greats, including Quincy Jones and Narada Michael Walden. The 15 year old Tevin Campbell was indeed lucky to win the patronage of such accomplished producers. There is nothing splotchy about the album (unlike many records with multiple producers at helm at different times): it flows beautifully. About the only production touch (or was it an artist's whim?) that I would disagree with is the jokey ending to "She's All That." Cute the first time, the "Hefty Bagd full of chips" line loses its charm after the first couple of hearings, and this bit of adolescent silliness really is NOT the way to close out an album that otherwise showed great polish and maturity.
This album takes me back.......2005-05-28

Take it for what it is........2005-01-20
Take this album for what it is and you'll enjoy it immensely. What is it? Gurf playing and singing all by his lonesome, save for a little help from a drummer on a few tracks. Some cuts remind me of Buck Owens or Dave Dudley and others veer into real toe tappin' rockabilly.
Gurf is as polished as ever here on every instrument he attempts. And his vocals...... well, he's no Merle Haggard, but he applies his texas twang to uncomplicated, yet creative lyrics in such a way, that you can't help but like it.
Album of the Year? Far from it. But if you're not careful you might just find you're singing along with ole Gurf, as you head down the highway.

WOW.......2005-03-26
This group made it with a self-titled cd before this one, which proclaimed Teddy Riley Innovator and Founder of New Jack Swing. He also is the best producer from the day he started till now - Hands Down!!! One Hit Wonder?????? Check ya knowledge before you post such degrading things about someone who could make you a star with something he thought up in his sleep.
The Advocate.......2003-10-31
The Song was So Huge it had the entire country doing the Bus Stop to it. So That totlally elminates them from the one hit wonders Group. Except if you're a New jack to the history of hip-Hop. If it wasn't for them and that song, Rhine Stone jackets would have never Been famous at the time. This Group has put out A Hit Single Almost every time they released an album. You have to study this hip-Hop thing. Rump Shaker Was the Second Big Song to be released By Wreckx, And Some people I know Still think The Song "New Jack Swing" Was Better. So I don't see anything One hit Wonder About that. This Album is
Awsome Classic Rap Dude.
Tru view.......2003-10-26
anything. The song wreckx-n-effect is a good example of this.
It's worth the money just don't expect much from the other guy in the group. He's clearly an extra. Other than that you should enjoy the Wreckx-n-effect experience.

Album Description
Cantus proudly announces the release of "Deep River," a treasury of African-American Spirituals. The Spiritual represents the musical melting pot of America like no other type of song by at once revealing its African roots while reflecting the American experience with music that speaks of both hardship and hope. The album features some of the most beloved American folk songs such as "Ezekiel Saw the Wheel", "Were You There", "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" and "Soon-ah Will Be Done." "Deep River" also delves into the roots of American roots music by exclusively featuring music by the preeminent first and second generation African-American composers - Harry T. Burleigh, William Dawson, John W. Work and Jester Hairston - in both well known and long forgotten arrangements of these immortal songs. Recorded by Stereophile Magazine editor John Atkinson in 24 bit sound, "Deep River" is a treat for the ears and a balm for the soul.Customer Reviews:
Oil and Water..........2005-10-05
Another issue that I have with this recording (and most of Cantus's other recordings at that) is that it was recorded so softly. I don't like to have to feel like I am cranking my speakers to hear the music effectively. Being an active listener, I like to listen to music loud just because I can hear more layers when its loud. The low recording volume on the CD really hinders the active listening experience, leaving the CD to lend itself to the purpose of background music and passive listening.
Also, the first 5 arrangements on the disc are fairly bland. They are lack variety and musicality. Only until "Great God Almighty" comes around does the listener truly become exposed to really good choral writing. Other standing out arrangements are "Where You There?" which is absolutely moving, "There Is A Balm In Gilead" which is very well written, "Deep River" which is so tranquil and relaxing, and "Soon Ah Will Be Done" and "In His Care-O" are great bouncy arrangements.
Essentially, Cantus and Spirituals are just oil and water: they don't mix so well. Aside from a hand full of bland arrangements and a very low mixing job the CD only has one real hindrance of a problem: Cantus doesn't make the distinction between Spirituals and Brahms.

The Best Recording by One of our Finest Choral Ensembles.......2004-10-24
It's not easy to make spirituals sound fresh, dynamic and viscerally affecting. But that's exactly what Cantus has done. This is choral singing of the highest order recorded by a master of recorded sound.
I do hope Cantus continues to record on this or another independent label. A big music conglomerate would just glitz it up.
These young men have accomplished so many splendid things on their own over the past nine years, and this release is their best by far.
Wonderful Ensemble.......2004-04-15
This CD is compelling, if you like choral music you will love this disc. Listen to it a few times and you will go away singing.
There are a couple of spirituals on this disc that are also on "Let your voice..." but in different arrangements.

Good, groovy and more.......2005-09-18
Recorded 10 months after the excellent JIVE AT FIVE album (also for Swingville), and with Flanagan and Jones returnees, this album is just as good as its predecessor. Frank Foster's forceful, mainly middle-register playing is very effective, and Tommy Flanagan is as good as ever. Only one tune, MO-LASSES, which is a blues a bit too overloaded with funk, is not up the the high level of the other tracks. A solid date.
