After the roaring success of Wide Open Spaces--a blend of turn-of-the-century pop and country traditionalism--what do you do for an encore? Rather than deliver more of the same, the Chicks have chosen instead to up the ante in country radio with a follow-up that's both poppier and twangier than its predecessor, and just plain better too. Some of it we've heard before: "Hello Mr. Heartache," for example, adheres pretty closely to the honky-tonk model of "Tonight the Heartache's On Me." Mostly, though, the record lights out for new territories. "Without You" is driven by an in-your-face string arrangement that's downright fierce, and the rootsy "Sin Wagon" may rock harder--and with more solos--than any mainstream country since Buck Owens held forth. That's not to say Fly's perfect. A couple of songs miss the mark, particularly "Goodbye Earl," an abusive-husband murder song that's sure to get criticized (wrongly) for being anti-male but actually fails because it can't decide if it's a moral lesson, a horror movie, or a joke. Still, even in this failure, the Chicks are bravely pushing the envelope. If they push hard enough, maybe Young Country radio will open up some wider spaces. --David Cantwell

My favorite DC CD.......2007-07-01

Excellent CD by the Dixie Chicks. This particular CD is by far their best. It's very upbeat with excellent sound quality. The CD is encoded with each song's title and the CD title if your CD player has the display capability.

I have Wide Open Spaces (second favorite), Home, Top of the World and Takin' the Long Way. Fly is still my personal favorite.
Even if you're not a country music fan, this is still very entertaining.

Excellent follow up from the Chicks.......2007-06-20

This is a great sophmore effort. This album is a bit harder and edgier than the first one, and the Chicks pull it off well. Country with a broader appeal. Good tunes are many:

Ready to Run

If I Fall - great faster number with cool scraping fiddles

Earl - a great rhythm and lyrics. Is about a woman and her friend "disposing" of a violent brute of a husband. Of course the song does not advocate premeditated murder. Get a grip. It's just a revenge fantasy

Hello Mr. Heartache - a good traditional-flavored number

Sin Wagon - fast, bluegrassy tune. Funny lyrics like "praise the Lord and pass the ammunition" and "mattress dancing"

Some Days You Gotta Dance - dancy number, like its lyrics and title

Hole in My Head - heavy, grinding instrumentation. Cool effect.

The album FLY is an awesome album!! It is hands down the best Dixie Chicks album by far. Every song on there is good and worth listening to.

We wonder after those who saw new wonders in the world!.......2007-07-23

Luis Mejia (son) - After a strongly critisized self-titled debut album, Lifeson and Lee decide to bring drummer Neil Peart; who also becomes the inmediate lyricist, adopting a more literal and mature composition very different from their debut album. Fortunately, Peart becomes one of the greatest drummers in the world, which also contributes to Rush rising fame.

Still, Fly By Night keeps a great similarity with the debut album, just with certain lyrical and compositional differences, its an album were Rush still tries to fit in their own sound, possessing an obvious aspiration of hard rock, more associated with Led Zeppelin, which created some of their worst critics in their further career, but definitively its an underrated album. Fly By Night is one of Rush albums which has some of the most memorable, catchy and fresh songs (one of my personal favorites), having a songs' structure very comfortable and rythmical, which are very comprehensible and recognizable among the hard rock genre. Even then, they were noticed some progressive inclinations and more original mellodies.

Within the songs all tracks are very alike in their style; Anthem is a very famous song, my personal favorite, which possesses not a high level of complexity or ambitious composition; its the fine mellodies and stunning performance applied in the song. Beneath, Between & Behind is an enjoyable track but not too much to say about it; it doesn't possess any notable aspect. Bytor And The Snow Dog is a key song were is revealed their interest in progressive rock, apart from being the most complex track (also 9 min long) it possesses the greatest performance in the whole album. Fly By Night is the title track which is very mellodic and with soft inclinations; very enjoyable for stepping out of the hard rock pattern in the album. Making Memories is one of those typical melancholic ballads talking about life in the road as a rock band; not too much of a ballad, still I always associate Journey's song Faithfully when I hear to it. Rivendell is a song refering about a town of the same name named in J.R.R. Tolkien novel "The Hobbit". Best I Can is another famous track, a little blues-like and very different from later Rush works; one of their most original and experimental songs. In The End is the last track of the album composed by Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee, is a good track, not too much notorious but an enjoyable way to finnish hearing this great album.

Within the artists Geddy Lee's vocal hability and bass are in their best period, still being a young and potent voice. Alex Lifeson's guitar is in a great performance but I consider it to be better performed in the debut album. Neil Peart, being his first album with Rush, gives an extremely potent and fearful touch playing the drums in one of the finest ways; this is an album where he makes one of his nicest performances in his whole career, and his lyrical hability of writting is a much more literal and cultural composition, also another aspect of Rush interests in progressive rock.

The album's artwork (well, the cover) its a beautiful and atractive cover that creates a great interest among buyers; although most of Rush 70's albums possess this kind of artwork, its most notorious in their albums 2112 and Hemispheres.

In conclussion the album starts a long path onto music fame and recognizion, its the start of a classic all time lineup with strong aspirations and a bright future. I liked it very much, so enjoy!

Rush Takes A Drummer And Heads North!.......2007-07-09

Right away you can hear the contribution that Neil Peart makes as he enters the drummer's seat on Rush's second album. Gone is the mediocre typical rock drummer John Rutsey. Here to stay is the lyricist/drummer that would help to make Rush one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Thanks to Neil the lyrics move away from the Ooh Baby mentality of their debut album into newer, more thought-provoking directions. Let's take a look at the songs, shall we?

Anthem - Straight up rocker with very cool lyrics. Geddy wails and the groove is laid down. Tight, short, pumping. One of the great old Rush tunes.

Best I Can - A leftover from the first Rush album? Maybe. This was written by Geddy alone. It rocks, but it misses Neil's literate touch.

Beneath, Between & Behind - A great song written by Alex and Neil. Alex throws in all the licks here. Geddy belts out the lyrics with passion.

By-Tor & The Snow Dog - The first of many multi-part songs. This is the first glimpse of things to come. This song grooves so f*cking much! An all-time Rush great.

Fly By Night - A signature Rush song of the first order. This, along with Finding My Way, In The Mood, and Working Man would remain Rush staples for a long time to come. Excellent!

Making Memories - One of the first songs I ever learned on acoustic guitar. This song is killer. Kick out the jams.

Rivendell - The soft spot on the album. The nod to Tolkein is cool but this song drags.

In The End - This is a good song but it, like Rivendell, drags. Another Geddy/Alex penned tune that could be a holdover from the first album.

Overall, as the band is adapting to the inclusion of Neil Peart very well, the Zeppelin-influenced sound would fall to the wayside for the Rush signature sound. Even though their next album would blow up in their faces, Rush would continue to grow by leaps and bounds in the following years. Fly By Night is a great stepping stone album. A definite must for old fans! Newer Rush fans might want to start a little up the line at 2112 or Permanent Waves.

Dig it!

Rush at their most Rocking!!!.......2007-06-01

This album at least deserves 4 1/2 stars. Anthem is one of Rush's most rocking older tunes. I absolutely love Best I Can; it's a simple song about playing rock and roll and having a good time. It doesn't get any better than that! Beneath, Between, and Behind also totally rocks! And who doesn't like By Tor & the Snow Dog? - talk about an epic masterpiece. In The End is one of Rush's simplest tunes, but it absolutely rocks! I even love Making Memories where they break out the acoustic guitars. The only track that doesn't do much for me is Rivendell, but there's one of those mellow filler tunes on every early Rush album. Okay, I realize this isn't a real cerebral synopsis of this album and I doubt anyone will find it helpful. I've basically just used the word "rocking" several times to describe this collection of songs, but that's the beauty of Fly By Night; it's just Rush rocking out and having a great time. This album is the bridge between the early Zeppelin inspired stuff from the first album and the really prog heavy stuff that would characterize their work in the late seventies and early eighties. Don't get me wrong, I love the more serious thematic elements of the later albums, but this is Rush just letting loose which is so refreshing to hear. Geddy's vocals are in top form on this album, especially on Anthem. You've still got the heady lyrics by Peart, but there's also those romping tunes about just rocking out! This album has it all. It's kind of the adolescent phase of the band where they were maturing musically and trying to find their sound. I know their later works are superior to FBN in many ways, but I can't deny that I still enjoy listening to this album more than most.

rush's sophmore effort.......2007-05-29

Rush always has variety and this one without a doubt does. From
hard to soft rock with grace. Let yourself go into the music and
Fly By Night. Lyrics and musicianship will more than please any fan.

Rush.......2007-05-12

I am used to listening to Rush in their older years but this is one of their earlier albums. despite the fact that Geddy Lee's voice could go extremely high back and I'm used to the newer stuff they are still freakin' awesome.

A year after his slickly produced recording debut launched him on a meteoric course to stardom, this combo CD/DVD set chronicles Michael Buble's crowd-pleasing live performances before amphitheater-sized crowds on a triumphant national tour. The audio portion kicks off with pair of new studio recordings again reinforce the 20-something Canadian heartthrob's 1950s-something artistic tack with mixed results: "Nice 'n' Easy" has a Sinatra-faithful jazzy swing; the overproduced, somnambulistic "Can't Help Falling in Love" evokes Perry Como more than Elvis. The remainder of the audio CD is comprised mostly of live versions of songs from Buble's debut, with his takes of "My Funny Valentine," "Fever," Van Morrison's "Moondance" and "Mack the Knife" again suggesting that Buble has an ear cocked wisely towards the Bobby Darin oeuvre. But with the notable exception of three elegant live-in-studio performances culled from Sessions@AOL, the live DVD does Buble's undeniabl! y charming stage presence a great disservice. Intercut awkwardly with offstage comments by Buble and his band, the balance of that disc suffers from an MTV-inspired, cut/dissolve-every-three-seconds style that's intended to focus one's attention, but does exactly the opposite. If sudden stardom virtually guarantees that Buble's impossibly smooth, expressive voice seldom ventures very far outside the Sinatra/Darin mold here, hopefully he'll leverage that fame towards greater artistic challenges in the near future. --Jerry McCulley

Album Description

In 2003,Michael Buble roared from being the latest discovery of David Foster (Josh Groban ,Celine Dion )to a gold debut album (double platinum,#1 in his native Canada)and being named along with Norah Jones,Harry Connick Jr.,Diana Krall and Rod Stewart as the leaders of a new-yet-trad pop move- ment. Now Come Fly With Me presents Buble with new songs on CD plus live performances and interview/backstage footage on DVD.It's time to get on board and come fly with Michael Buble.

I have been told I am too old for my age as I love the Rat Pack music and American Standards. This is a great cover of those tunes.

I would love to fly with you!!!.......2006-11-10

This is a dynamite duo: cd/dvd!!! I first heard Michael Buble music in the Spring of 2005. The first purchase was It's Time, which is mind-blowing good!!! Come fly with me is awesome! The music is out of this world, and in my opinion, he sounds better than the original singers in the remakes he sings. WOW!!! The DVD is great! It shows his sense of humor, as well as his sensitive side. And there is no denying that he is an absolutely talented and amazing singer! The band is second to none as well! My impression of his talent was cemented even further when I saw his Concert in Spokane, WA in July of 2006. He never missed a beat and his voice was perfectly in tune. I have shared my excitement about his music and how it has touched my life with all of my friends, and have converted many of them to also be faithful fans of Michael's music. I now own almost all of his CD's and cannot wait to get the next one!

This is the album that, in one eagle-sized swoop, propelled Steve Miller from a well-regarded but hardly widely known psychedelic San Francisco-based bluesman to a chart-topping, hit-single-generating pop star. Capitol Records, who helped sire that transition by keeping him on the label through years of lackluster sales, celebrates the 30th anniversary of the event with this classy expanded edition. Those with surround sound systems will enjoy a stunning 5.1 mix highlighting the space-rock tendencies that so effectively offset Fly Like an Eagle's crunchier singles. Also included in the CD/DVD set is a worthy and informative half-hour interview/documentary with Miller about the making of the project and his blues background, as well as a riveting two-hour live show from October 2005 that includes most (but not all) of the songs on the album. The concert allows Miller to explore his blues, jazz, and even world music tendencies with fiddler/harpist Carlos Reyes adding gypsy/Cajun overtones to "Dance, Dance, Dance" and "Abracadabra." George Thorogood brings his gruff presence to "Your Cast Ain't Nothing but Trash," and a relatively restrained but intense Joe Satriani joins on the last third, which includes a 20-minute version of the title track. Despite its dated synths and somewhat antiquated production, the album holds up remarkably well, primarily due to its excursions into Delta blues ("Sweet Maree"), folk-pop ("Wild Mountain Honey"), and soul (a lovely cover of Sam Cooke's "You Send Me"). Three nascent versions of songs such as "Take the Money and Run" (retrofitted to the chord changes of "The Joker") appear as bonus cuts. They show how the perfectionist Miller's tinkering helped craft them into radio-friendly hits that sound as catchy today as they did in 1976. --Hal Horowitz

AWESOME Re-realease!.......2007-05-16

Steve Miller is timeless!!! I remember owning the 8 track (I am dating myself), the LP, the first CD - and now the re-release. Go back in time when rock was king (and not over sampled electronica). Get this CD, gather your buddies, get in the car and take off on a road trip jamming down the road (just remember you have to wear your seat belt).

I'm flying like an eagle.......2007-03-16

Wonderful, beautiful! This 30th Anniversary Edition of The Steve Miller Band is absolutely the BEST I've ever heard.

Steve Miller 5.1 DVD Audio.......2007-01-04

Excellent 5.1 mixes of this album. Once the 5.1 versions of the hit tracks like Rock n me and Fly like an Eagle and Take the Money and Run are heard at this quality level, all the other cd versions are relatively dull. Great pop album made greater by this terrific version release.

Nicely done, all things considered.......2006-12-21

There's no way you could be a white 20 year old in 1976 (which I was) and not be somehow impacted by this album. It was like aural wall paper. In those days, there were those LPs that were just everywhere. This certainly was one of them. In fact, it took me quite some time to actually purchase the album because almost all the songs were being played on the radio (this was back in the days of AOR), and it seemed that ALL my friends had it. It was actually TOO familiar. After a couple of years, I finally added it to my personal collection.

It certainly is an artifact of its time, but there is also a timelessness about the album. It's so well constructed, even synth parts that SHOULD sound dated hold up well. The simplicity of the songs and beauty of the arrangements add to the classic appeal. Also, there are no real duffers. Every song impresses in some way, and the album actually covers a lot of stylistic ground, and covers it well. At the time, I considered it perhaps too overtly "commercial" but hey, what did I know? I know I'll never purchase the 30th anniversary edition of Foreigner 4, no offense intended.

It's very nice to have the 3 bonus tracks on the CD, and the DVD has a 5.1 mix of the original 12 track album as well as a nice 30 minute documentary. As if that's not enough, it also includes a 2 hour concert filmed in 2005. The band is very good, and the renditions are spot on.
Some of the performances seem a bit flat, but it's probably hard to really get up for the 2000th performance of Rock'n'Me. The bright spots are indeed that: guest spots for Carlos Reyes, who really shines, Buffalo Norton (OK, Norton is a full-fledged band member, but he really shines on his harp solos),etc. Speaking of harp, the other kind, Reyes really opened my ears and eyes as to what can be done with the classical harp in a rock context. The other guest spots (Thorogood, Satriani) don't impress as much, but still give a boost to the proceedings. Anyway, it's nice to have a live Steve Miller concert in my library. I must add, however, that it is NOT in 5.1 surround, although your player may say that it is. My hunch is that it was recorded direct to 2-track digital, because it's absolutely stereo, even all the crowd noise is in the front speakers (and there's too much of it, IMO). Also, the 5.1 mix of the album is only in Dolby, not DTS, and is not spectacular.

That about covers it. I'm not dwelling on the negative, just mentioning it. I'm very happy to have a very good remaster of the orginal LP and happy to have the bonus tracks. The 5.1 mix may not be as great as it could be, but it's nice to have all the same, and it's really great to have ANY concert footage of Stevie, much less 2 hours of it.

Buy it and love it for what it is and what it has.

Miller Time.......2006-11-12

Excellent evenings entertainmemt. I thouroughly enjoyed hearing the music of my youth. Seeing his special guests made the video even more enetertaining. If you like Steve Miller this is a wonderful video to watch.

There are but two kinds of people in the world: Those captivated by Baz Luhrmann's heady, postmodernist musical romp Moulin Rouge--and everybody else. Oddly, the film's initial soundtrack release may have been the project's most traditional element, marketing a slate of pop-star contributions that gave listeners a sometimes-skewed perspective on its true musical charms. This follow-up corrects much of that oversight, offering original film versions of "Sparkling Diamonds" (the lavish, Nicole Kidman-performed medley of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" and "Material Girl"), Jim Broadbent's and Richard Roxburgh's loopy take on "Like a Virgin," as well as the lively Offenbach "Can Can" parody "The Pitch (Spectacular Spectacular)." It also pays homage to the efforts of composer Craig Armstrong, whose quietly compelling underscore often binds the film's other far-flung musical influences together, be they stately orchestral readings of Elton John's "Your Song," a dramatic arrangement for Kidman and Ewan MacGregor's original film duet of "Come What May," or his dark, melodramatic take on Queen's "The Show Must Go On." The first Moulin Rouge soundtrack collection flaunted the film's bold, cross-genre ambitions; this one chronicles its nakedly emotional heart and soul. --Jerry McCulley

Album Details

Volume Two Includes the Memorable Renditions of 'like a Virgin' and 'your Song' and 'the Pitch (Spectacular Spectacular).' It also features a Mix of the Nicole Kidman Song 'one Day I'll Fly Away.'

Wow........2007-01-15

I must say...I was very glad when they released Part Two of the Moulin Rouge soundtrack. Don't get me wrong...the first part was great and all, but it was nothing spectacular. I was specifically looking for certain songs from the movie, and I was completely disappointed when they were on there. The release of a second soundtrack was, in my opinion, an absolute necessecity.

The highlights of the album are:

-Your Song (Instrumental)
-Sparkling Diamonds (original film version)
-Come What May (original film version)
-The Show Must Go On (original film version)

In my opinion, "The Show Must Go On" is the best song on this album...it was just so perfect for the ending of the movie, and I fell in love with the song. I was so disappointed that it wasn't on the first soundtrack. This song is part of what makes the second soundtrack so amazing...the song is fierce!!

If you love the movie and are a fan of the first soundtrack, then definitely, get this one. Many of the songs are versions taken straight from the movie - I recommend this with 4.5 stars...you will NOT be disappointed!

Love this CD.......2006-07-04

I love everything about this movie. The music is amazing and the instrumental songs on this CD are perfect. The first CD seemed to be more for a bunch of teenyboppers that wanted to hear the worst song on the whole CD (Lady Marmalade). If only they could combine the good songs from the first CD into this one.

I gave this 5 stars even though it's about a 4.5 because they split the soundtrack over two seperate cds.

Could it get any better?.......2006-03-02

So i thought that the first instalment in these soundtracks was great (and it was) but the purchase of this sequel is a must if you want the full effect. With the original film versions of these songs, sung by the stars of the movie, you get the real feel that was the magnifisence of Moulin Rouge! Ewan McGregor is still by far the star, with his talent spilling over the dramatic lovesong 'Come What May' and 'Your Song', but Nicole's brilliant performance as Satine definatly takes front and center in 'One Day I'll Fly Away' and the film version of 'Sparkling Diamonds'...I have noticed that many complain about how the first soundtrack did not include the film version of this song...well you need this CD then...you will not be dissapointed. Other highlights include 'Like a Virgin' which is downright histarical, and the dark cover of 'the show must go on' which highlights the tragidy behind this tightly woven tale. THis is one must have soundtrack for your ever growing collection. A perfect companion to soundtrack number 1!

Moulin rouge tried to fill up the GAP.......2006-02-12

This contains many great tracks missing from the original soundtrack, including Like A Virgin, Spectacular Spectacular and The Show Must Go On. I thought the inclusion of two instrumental versions of Your Song might be a bit redundant, but upon listening to them I really enjoyed them and they are quite different from one another. OK, it's not the best soundtrack that could have been put out. But it's pretty darn close. One thing that many DEDICATED fans of the movie (including myself) said is that the original movie soundtrack lacked the actual original movie score. There are 10+ songs in "Moulin Rouge" and many didn't make the final cut.

Baz did the smart thing, taking the audiences favorite music, a few gems from the first soundtrack such as "Come What May" and "Sparkling Diamonds" as well as a few new songs, like "Like a Virgin", "The Show Must Go On" and "The Pitch (Spectacular Spectacular)" and releasing the Original Film versions, allowing for the amazing vocal performances of the actors, including the fabulous Jim Broadbent, to be shine through. Also, released is background music "Meet Me in the Red Room", played during Christian's arrival in the elephant, marking the only non-actor/orchestral piece within the context of the CD.

One thing that this soundtrack included that I didn't expect was several orchestral pieces that were mostly used as background music throughout the film. "Your Song - Instrumental" (#1) has personally become a favorite and is constantly being repeated in the CD player. Also included is the ending credits music "Bolero" and the final piece ... known as "Ascension/Nature Boy". Also included is a remix of "One Day I'll Fly Away", and like all MR remixes, is a little tough to listen to at first but after repeat listening, it becomes music to your ears.

To all you MR diehards out there: this is a must. Not like I could stop you anyways. To others who haven't been introduced to the spectacular (spectacular) world of Moulin Rouge, this is a great introductory piece, especially side-by-side with the first soundtrack.

ahahahahaha.......2006-02-01

Everything the other customers are saying is true: more music from the film, thankyouverymuch, not irritating pop conceits like the first. However, I would not have reviewed this album unless I found it absolutely necesary to point out that, in the climactic moments of track 5 "Come What May," Ewan MacGregor's voice is for some reason missing and replaced by a bizarre, operatic man's voice. It truly had me crying with laughter the first few times I heard it, and I wanted to share this wondrous discovery with the world.

Amazon.com

If you think you've heard Handel's "Ombra mai fu" (known as his "Largo") so often, and in so many different arrangements, and sung by so many different voices, that you can no longer be moved or surprised by it, think again. This CD of Handel arias, mostly from his Theodora or the cantata La Lucrezia, ends with "Ombra mai fu," and as sung by Lorraine Hunt Lieberson, it is so tender, so beautiful, so impeccably shaded, that you'll think you're hearing it for the first time. But that's only four of this disc's 67 minutes---a follow-up to Hunt Lieberson's extraordinarily successful CD of Bach cantatas. There's not a dull or disinterested moment to be heard anywhere. As the violated Lucrezia, Hunt Lieberson alternately rages against the man who raped her and turns her grief inward; the former is terrifying in its intensity, the latter makes us almost feel as if we're eavesdropping. The five arias for Irene, Theodora's friend, confidante, and the upholder of Christian beliefs are all magical prayers or statements of faith, and from Hunt Lieberson, they become real, with each word honestly conveyed and colored. The voice itself is unfailingly beautiful---warm, lush, never forced, agile when necessary---and her breath control is stunning. She is backed ideally by Harry Bicket and The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, and the string soloists in the ensemble---the viola da gamba player, lutenist, etc.---are as gifted as she is. If you want proof that Handel was a great dramatist with a special gift for communicating emotion, all while listening to sublime sounds, this CD is a must. --Robert Levine

Customer Reviews:

A Legendary Singer........2007-03-07

I simply don't have the heart to review Mrs. Lieberson's works.
If we call Ms. Bartoli a 'great' singer, then the description of 'legendary' more aptly depicts Mrs. Lieberson.
If ever a truly good artist lived, Mrs. Lieberson is one such.
The only singer that could be recalled singing in such style is Teresa Berganza; but still, they are different.
This is one of my favourite interpretators of Haendel. Having been 'treated' by those coloraturas of arias of Haendel's period by Ms. Bartoli and others, I find the singing of Lorraine Hunt Lieberson a great relief - at last, this is what Haendel would want it to be. And I equally enjoy the singing of soprano arias by Mrs. Lieberson - the timbre is warmer, but still with all the shimmer - so different from the dark mushy tones of other celebrated 'lyrical soprano' around.
Don't want to say more. Mrs. Lieberson's leaving last year is too heavy a news for me.

Lorraine Hunt Lieberson's Bach: The mind of God revealed!!.......2007-01-06

These deeply felt performances of two of Bach's most moving cantatas show this transcendent singer's combination of emotional honesty and profound musicality, all combined to reveal the very mind of God through divine redemption from suffering. The disc is to be treasured even more in light of the Ms. Lieberson's recent untimely death from cancer. I'm an agnostic, but this music makes me envious of those who can believe. Roy in Pope Valley, California

Glorious singing to treasure for decades.......2006-07-11

By any measure, America's Lorraine Hunt Lieberson is at least the equal of Italy's premier diva, mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli, although she does not have the same superstar status. It is difficult to recall past mezzos with clearer enunciation of English text, (as favoured in nine excerpts from Theodora), the richness of voice, displayed in full-throated fortissimo and sharply contrasted pianissimo of utmost delicacy, evokes fondest memories of the tragically doomed Kathleen Ferrier. Masterfully chosen to display every facet of Hunt Lieberson's consumate command of Handel's dauntingly difficult music, the disc's repertoire - recitatives and linkig arias from the operas Theodora and Serse, and the cantana La Lucrezia - is stunning. An unsung mezzo who makes the senses tingle!

Lorraine Hunt-Lieberson (1954-2006), supreme Handelian.......2006-07-06

I have never heard a voice purer of tone, more flexible in phrasing, and so gorgeously produced in a homogeneous column of sound such as this artist in Handel's repertoire. It is very tastefully sung (unlike a certain person whose name begins with R and ends with enaaay Fleming) and so dramatically touching that one could not help but feel that this repertoire finally has found its instrument. And how sad it is to know that this instrument has passed away two days ago. Lorraine Hunt-Lieberson died two days ago in her home in Santa Fe, New Mexico of breast cancer. It is such a huge loss to the opera world, as she is an artist who is still experiencing the prime of her career. The voice is just so beautiful, the tone so pure, that I lament that we can no longer hear any great roles from this artist. She will be missed.

The Stellar Hunt Lieberson.......2006-03-19

Simply put, Lorraine Hunt Lieberson is one of the very best classical singers alive. She combines vocal elegance and purity with an emotional delivery that raises her above the crowd of technically proficient singers who just don't possess her depth of musical understanding or emotional commitment. Hunt Lieberson is a true artist who resists easy classfication except to say she is perfect in what she does.

Fly Between Falls.......2006-04-28

ALO, or Animal Liberation Orchestra, sound like a bunch of hippies. These hippies are totally cool!

This is a surprisingly good CD. It's a re-release now on Jack Johnson's Brushfire label, so you know it's good. Jack even guests on the second track.

The music is very chill and laidback, but a little more uptempo than Jack Johnson. It has a little funky groove to it.

Although it does have some rather stupid lyrics at times, the music more than makes up for it. This is a really cool cd, perfect for hanging out. Recommended.

The magical triad behind Rushmore's spunky, starry-eyed soundtrack--music supervisor Randall Poster, composer Mark Mothersbaugh, and director Wes Anderson--leaps forward a decade from that beloved soundtrack's '60s gems, in the process adopting a more pensive feel for The Royal Tenenbaums' musical backdrop. It may lack the euphoric sing-along feel of, say, Creation's "Makin' Time," but the rock and folk tracks here perfectly match the film's crumbling characters and their dilapidated relationships. The Ramones' "Judy Is a Punk" is a burst of nostalgic rebellion but surely causes a sad twinge in light of Joey Ramone's untimely death in 2001; gloom-folker Nick Drake's "Fly" and Elliott Smith's excellently depressing "Needle in the Hay"--which is used to chilling effect during a wrist-slashing scene--further deepen the dark thread running through Tenenbaums. But those who prefer the sunny disposition of Rushmore will be thrilled by the calming concoctions of Mothersbaugh, who heralds the coming of a new scene with graceful woodwind/string parts ("Scrapping and Yelling") and playful sitar pieces ("Pagoda's Theme"). Throw in the Clash's squalling "Police & Thieves" and the Velvet Underground's petal-soft "Stephanie Says" and you've got another winning soundtrack from the film biz's most in-tune music lovers. Tenenbaum or not, you can go home again. --Kristy Martin

Great easy listenening .......2007-02-02

I like this soundtrack because its very laid back. Enjoyable songs that help you relax.

Help trying to figure out the title of a song.......2006-04-17

Hey, maybe you guys can help me, does anyone know the title of the song playing on a radio while owen wilson is getting high (or preparing to do so) with his friends and his dad and brother step in and tell him they want to help him. I really love that song and i have no idea what the title is

omitted song.......2006-02-01

For anyone interested, one song which was omitted from the soundtract which has not been mentioned is:

Emitt Rhodes - Lullabye

A beautiful track played in the scence where Royal is lying in his bed sucking down a shake and reading a book when Chas say "lights out old man" and switchs off the light. One of my fav songs in the movie along side the rolling stones - she smiled sweetly. sadly both songs were omitted but still a beautiful soundtrack.

Where's Van Morrison?!.......2005-03-16

This is a near-perfect collection of 60's and 70's pop and folk. The sad but hopeful vibe of the songs fits the movie's tone perfectly and you can't really agrue with songs like "Stephanie Says." it's also nice to hear the two Nico cuts since Nico's solo work really doesn't get the acclaim it deserves these days. My problem with this album is that it favors symphonic songs from the film instead of pop songs also used in it such as "Ruby Tuesday" and Van Morrison's "Everyone." I'm really bummed about the exclusion of "Everyone" because i thought it closed the movie so well. They should have released the score and the soundtrack separately so all these great songs could be included.

The Royal Tenenbaums Soundtrack.......2005-03-14

The Collector's Edition Soundtrack leaves out two great Rolling Stones' tunes She Smiled Sweetly & Ruby Tuesday. Also left to the winds is John Lennon's Look at Me, the Clash's Rock the Kazbah. The First Edition leaves a few tunes off too but it is a far better Soundtrack. Puckstar

With Three Chords and the Truth, her 1997 debut album, Missouri-born Sara Evans not only wowed listeners with her superb vocal chops, but also boldly and unpretentiously staked claim to a neo-traditionalist style that suggested she'd done a lot of listening to Loretta Lynn and the late Tammy Wynette in her younger days. With Born to Fly, her third album, Evans continues her descent from the neo-traditional high ground and her move uptown. She makes it clear she's also listened quite a bit to the likes of Trisha Yearwood and Bruce Hornsby, whose "Every Little Kiss" she ably covers here. On the exuberant title tune and on fine country-pop ballads like "I Could Not Ask for More" and the lovely "Saints and Angels," Evans proves she can just as sweetly and deftly patrol the uptown territory as she can the down-home highlands, which she revisits on the steel guitar-adorned weeper "I Learned That from You." Though not every song on Born to Fly insinuates its way into listeners' imaginations like the above-mentioned gems do, this solid, ambitious 11-song collection stands as another feather in this gifted young singer's colorful musical cap. --Bob Allen

Customer Reviews:

Just too slow.......2007-07-02

This is Sara's weakest album, at least for me. Nothing wrong with her voice or the content of the songs. It's just that the album contains way too many songs that are too slow and too long [which aggravates the slowness]. This may not be a problem if you are a patient listener who is OK with listening to music just for the sound of the singer's voice. If you're more impatient and like a beat and tempo [like I do] then this album comes off as lugubrious and you will find yourself reaching for the Skip button. Some songs:

Born to Fly - good tune, got big video play
Saints and Angels - slow ballad
Could Not Ask for More - ditto
I Keep Looking - has funny lyrics about a girl with a "grass is always greener" issue.

Learned that from You - slow, the singer learned disappointment from her man

Let's Dance - one of the few livlier tunes on here, good

Four Thirty - has a good beat

Every Little Kiss - Sara does a very good cover of this tune

Looking at What I've Written, the 3 stars might be kind of harsh. The tunes that are "normal" speed are quite good. It's just that the slowness of the rest of the numbers weighs the whole down. 3.5 stars is most accurate.

Sara was "Born to Fly"..........2007-04-26

This is a wonderful album from Sara. While it is much more pop-country than her previous ones, it still retains that Sara sound. It was a huge hit for Sara spawning four hits for her, and thrusting her into the spotlight. It has many great songs on it, there are no fillers that's for sure. On "Born to Fly" She sings about knowing she was destined for great things, and on "Saints and Angels" Sara reflects on a relationship that makes two people whole. On "I keep Lookin'", a song every woman will relate to, Sara sings about wanting more in life, whether it's your hair or your love life!
A must-have for any Sara fans.

Flying High Still.......2007-03-17

Born To Fly deservedly put Sara Evans on the map nationally, a portent of things to come. I appreciate her first two albums, having more traditional songs along with hints of future success. Sara has a knack for bridging traditional country with more contemporary pop/country without sounding cheesy like some newer artists. This CD sounds fresh. In searching for adjectives to describe Born To Fly's sound, I've come up with sweet and beautiful for the ballads, and joyous, without being flashy, for the more uptempo tunes. Her music achieves a delicate balance. This album has been criticized by traditional purists as too pop, but its commerciality does not detract from her excellent voice or these amazing songs. This review will not describe each song, as many other reviewers have so outstandingly done.

If you are reading this thinking about buying this CD, do not pay attention to vulgar remarks about Sara's personal life or even exaltations of how beautiful she is (although true), you need to get this because the music is fantastic. It is stirring and uplifting, palpably infused with Sara's beauty.

If you already own other Sara CDs, you will not regret buying this one. It has brought me much joy since I bought it six or so years ago. I've listened to it more than any other Sara CD; I listen to "I Could Not Ask For More" almost every day. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Disappointing country.......2006-07-25

This is a very disappointing album for a country lover. I can't understand how someone who sings Suds in the Bucket (from Restless) can come out with such a crass pop album good for 14 year olds. The only good song is I learnt that from you. Too bad...

Not Sara's best..........2006-03-28

Well, as I said in my review for No Place That Far, I had Sara's two latest albums and decided to get her first three. No Place That Far was excellent, but this one pales in comparison. Although the songs are decent at the very least, I just don't feel these are Sara's best. As Simon Cowell would say "a very average performance." Don't get me wrong. If you like Sara even just a little bit, I still recommend getting this cd. It's just not as good as some of her others. Now, with that said, I must add that I've only given it one listen through on my way to work this morning and I hadn't had my coffee yet :) So maybe some tracks will grow on me.
So far, here are my ratings for each song on a scale of one to ten:
1. Born To Fly - It seems that any song about flying is a good one. Must be a secret amongst songwriters :). Great, solid beginning. 9/10
2. Saints & Angels - Not a very memorable song. Just ok. 6/10
3. I Could Not Ask For More - It's hard to go wrong with a Diane Warren song. I knew the Edwin McCain version first. This was a good choice for Sara, it fits her well. But I think I still like the Edwin version better. 8/10
4. I Keep Looking - I forgot that I knew this song! I didn't recognize it by the title. Definitely the best song on the album. 10/10
5. I Learned That From You - Great lyrics in this one. Nice ballad. 8/10
6. Let's Dance - Mediocre song. Didn't do much for me. 5/10
7. Why Should I Care - A good "Don't know what you got til it's gone" song. 7/10
8. Four-Thirty - Just an ok song. Not bad, not great. 6/10
9. Show Me The Way To Your Heart - The weakest song on the album. Again, just ok. 5/10
10. You Don't - Another so-so song. 5.5/10
11. Every Little Kiss - A Bruce Hornsby track *yawn*. He bored me in the 80s. 5/10
So overall, this album had only a few real stand-out tracks. If you're knew to Sara's music I recommend you by either No Place That Far or Restless first.
