Editorial Reviews

About the Artist
Legacy has been compared to many veteran artists in the industry, but Legacy brings their own unique flavor from the heart of the street. These fiery young guns are ready to take over the underground and commercial airwaves.

Natives of Downtown Newport News, Virginia, Legacy has a natural feel for music. Artist/Producer Antonio "Einstein" Fenner provides slick production for the duo. Artist William "Amerika" Brown compliments Einstein's production with a charismatic flow. The Legacy Fam has been together for eight years, having performed at many local events. 18 year old Amerika and 21 year old Einstein have both perfected their skills by paying dues.

During a performance in Virginia Beach, their command of the audience, delivery and flow caught the attention of Suth'n Boi CEO "Karolina Slym". Upon hearing their previous album "Street Documentary" Vol. I Suth'n Boi Management was convinced this music had to be heard. So with the release of "The LEGACY" max, something new and fresh is taking over.

This CD is good........2007-07-11

In my opinion, damn near evey track on this cd is great, I don't know what these fools below me are talking about. Yes "Broke" was good, and "Blackout" was not so good, but this cd has to be my favorite yet. Why do the lyrics need analyzed?? They're silly and entertaining. Isn't that what music is supposed to do, entertain? "The Truth" and "Daydreams" are two really good tracks. I realize this review isn't super helpful, but I have to defend this cd against the Conservative Republican reviews put on here.

maybe (hed) pe's worst... but still (hed) pe.......2007-06-06

This is easily probably (hed) pe's worst album with maybe the exception of "blackout". But what people need to understand is Hed's rythym section took a serious hit with this album with the loss of two great guitarists wesstyle and Chizad and a great drummer B.C. So with that in mind the quality of the music isn't going to be as great as it used to be but they still do the job. There are some great (hed) p.e. classics on this Album with kick off track "Represent" also: "wake up" "war" "Voices" and "raise hell". The hidden rap song at the end of the CD is also a pleasent surprise. However there are some songs that just should have never been put on here that do drag the album down and just simply don't cut it. Mainly "the Truth" and "amerikan beauty". All in all there is still some raw (hed) pe material on here that any true fan can vibe with. I'm just thankful that (hed) pe is still around and they prove that they can still get down. It's only up hill from here thankfully. Check out "Back to Base X" and upcoming Album "insomnia".

Who would want to copy this junk anyway???.......2007-01-02

This is quite possibly the worst CD I have made the mistake of purchasing in a long, long time. The CD protection software is so pathetic and corrupt, it makes this virtually impossible to use - unless I start carrying a discman to the gym again. Not anytime soon. What I really can't figure out is who in the heLL would want to pawn this horrible stuff off on other people? If they have heard it, I guarantee they won't want a copy. Whiny, expletive filled lyrics and a sad attempt at music. This was tired before it was burned and distributed. Save your money.

Very Underrated........2006-11-22

I don't see what the problem is people have with this album. I was very impressed with this CD, yes it's vulgar and childish, but as far as I know, they did it on purpose. Raise Hell is honestly the best song, with a very nice guitar solo at around 3:35 until the end of the song. In short, this CD seems to be bashed and pissed on because it's not Broke.

Yes the Rap-Metal boom has been dead for years and yeah Hed should have gotten more respect, but it beats the worn out Metalcore bands such as KillSwitch, and Trivium among others, that play the same played out Hardcore with gothenburg riffs and solos. Also Hed isn't Nu Metal, as they don't play the same two cords over and over, and not to metion the guitar solo's, which Nu Metal never uses.

Buy this CD, it's underrated.

Uh..what did you expect kids?.......2006-09-07

Hed(PE) is a horrible group that was never good, nor talented. Just because you can write nursury rhymes and throw down beats on a drum with bass and guitar does not make you a tight group. These guys are horrible, and this album reconfirms it. Many reviewers are stating that their vocalist sounds like a whiny baby on this album. Well what did he sound like on their previous albums? He has always sounded like a baby who cannot rap or sing! He was horrid On Methods of Mayhem and horrid in Hed(PE). This band sucks and is for NU-Metal fans only(basically kids who hate their parents for some odd reason or another and just love to be overall angry at the world because they cannot face the fact that they suck).
Do not buy this album. DO NOT! It is horrid beyond belief.

It would be impossible to overstate Abe Schwartz's influence on the development of klezmer music in America. He was a fine violinist and pianist, an excellent composer, an arranger who added modern instruments like saxophones and banjos to the Old World sound, and a bandleader with a nose for talent who helped launch the careers of Dave Tarras and Naftule Branwein, among others. The Klezmer King collects 25 tracks from the 75 or so sides that Schwartz recorded for Columbia between 1917 and 1935. Schwartz was remarkably versatile, and the selections include traditional dance tunes like "Roumanian Doina," Yiddish pop tunes such as "Die Greene Cousine," which was later a hit for Benny Goodman as "My Little Cousin," and sly social commentary like "Der Automobile." Also here are three versions of the old melody "Russian Sher," which were recorded in 1917, 1927, and 1935. Listening to them, you can trace Schwartz's style as it evolves from its European roots to a more American version of klezmer. The sound quality of these rare recordings is outstanding; there are almost no clicks, pops, or hiss to mar the music. The Klezmer King is an essential recording from one of the pioneers of New World klezmer. --Michael Simmons

Abe Schwartz -- King of Yiddish Music.......2007-02-22

Abe Schwartz was an American klezmer pioneer who discovered such talents as Dave Tarras and Naftule Brandwein as well as inspiring the contemporary klezmer revival bands. Don't miss this collection of his original recordings.

Old-Time American Roots Klezmer Music.......2004-04-15

Abe Schwartz and his orchestra developed and defined klezmer music in America from the mid-1920s up until the 1940s and early '50s. If the beginning sounds of American roots klezmer music is of interest, this is the CD you want. I find that half-way through, my mind wanders. It sounds too schmaltzy for me. I love Central European and Balkan style music ... this CD has diluted versions of this styling. This CD contains Central/East European "cross over" music that is becoming Americanized. In reality it is not quite either, besides the violin, there is the requiste clarinet, other instruments are saxaphone, tuba, piccolo, alto sax, bass sax, drums, and other percussions. The music occasionally sounds like a Balkan Brass band ... fortunately the longing and nostalgia of the klezmer sound, the Jewish roots are evident in all the tracks. The 'sher', 'doina', and 'hora' are types of dance music played by this famous composer, bandleader, and fiddler. My favorite is "Escorting the Parents of the Bride and Groom Home" ("Fihren Di Mechutonim Aheim-Tanz') which features Naftule Brandwein on the clarinet. His improvisations and glissandos are brilliant. The famous klezmer clarinetist, Dave Tarras, is also featured on many of these recordings. "Hasidic Melodies" ("Ch'sidishe Nigunim") is one of my favorite examples of his playing. His command of the clarinet and the creative musical phrasing is phenomenal. "The Greenhorn Girl Cousin" ("Die Green Couisine") is famous for the music, lyrics, and message which brought to the public's attention the bad working conditions in the sweatshops, the first job of immigrants arriving in the USA. It is a catchy tune with Abe Schwartz featured on the violin and Abraham Moskowitz singing the vocals. Spin-offs of this song were written by many including one by Benny Goodman. Overall, if discovering and investigating early klezmer roots music is your goal, this CD will meet your criteria with highest expectations. Otherwise, give me "The Klezmatics", "The Klezmer Conservatory Band" or any modern klezmer group which expresses the music in a more explosive and exciting manner. For me, the modern sound is much more appealing than the early roots which is on this CD. Erika Borsos (erikab93)

Joy, Joy, Happy, Happy.......2004-02-05

I came to Klezmer music via Izaak Perlmann's "In the Fiddler's House," which is one of my all time favorite CDs. I'm just learning about the genre, via other Amazon reviewers, so have just recently arrived at this and other "Klezmer roots" CDs (Dave Tarras, as another reviewer mentions, is also excellent). It's just exceedingly harmonious, well orchestrated, tightly knit music, transported from the old world to the new. The tradition lives on, and an increasing number of us goyim are coming to appreciate it. Sound quality, these can't compete with modern recordings like those of the Klezmer Conservatory Band, or the Klezmatics, but it will definitely give you an idea of where they learned from. Mazaltov!!

Close your eyes and you're at a Jewish wedding.......2003-03-31

If you've ever heard new groups like the Yiddish Cup Klezmer Band and The Klezmatics and marveled at how they got all those great old tunes, look no further. Abe Schwartz, the Klezmer King is now available on CD. Before this, 78 RPM records these were remastered from was the only place you could hear him.

The Klezmer King album is old, both in sound and style. But keep in mind that clarinet klezmer is more of an American thing. This music is a generation or two removed from the original originals. Songs called Russian Sher and Roumanian Doina indicate that, just like today, wedding musicians from the old country were jamming the hits of the day as well as the "Jewish" stuff.

But it was guys like Schwartz, Dave Tarras and the Musiker Brothers, whom the new wave learned from. But unlike the younger versions, these melodies don't seem to have jazz-like improvisation. They are straight ahead rollickers, heavy on catchy rhythm and melody. There are a total of twenty-five tracks on the album and most are short and fast.

The instruments employed are the violin, played by Schwartz, the clarinet and horns. The beat is so danceable that you forget there's no percussion. That's traditional, because back in the old country, if the klezmorim had any percussion at all it was just a bass drum.

For you Yiddish speakers, The Klezmer King is not all instrumental. There are tracks that start with lively shouts as well as straight singing pieces like Mameniu Liubeniu or the satirical Hurra Far Unzerheld Levine.

Then there's Die Bolbriker Chasseneh, which has Schwartz introducing a bride and groom in between slow music. He raises his voice, half speaking and half singing in rapid-fire Yiddish. Then he gasps out that the couple is now officially married and the band breaks into fast, bouncy jamming. Close your eyes and you can imagine you're one of the guests. That goes for most of the tunes here.

If you didn't know the difference between a bulgar and freilach and nigun before, you better start learning. Abe Schwartz taught long of young folks about what it takes to be a king of klezmer. Companion CDs of Dave Tarras and the Musiker Brothers are available from Legacy Recordings.

Time warp.......2002-08-11

Listening to the 25 old but timeless cuts on this set of remastered Yiddish greats provides many layers of enjoyment. In hearing these long-forgotten tunes, one enjoys clarinet and violin strains influenced by ancient melodies and traditions. And some will recognize varied renditions of old favorites. The 6th cut, for example, Dovid'l Bazetzt die Kalleh, is engrained into my memory from Jewish Music, a Benedict Silberman recording, circa 1955, of Yiddish orchestrations.

The music is all decidedly Eastern European. The Roumanian Doina, for example, played by Abe Schwartz (violin) and his daughter, strongly resembles the brilliant Rom music generated by the same region.

No wonder. Born in Bucharest, Romania, Abe Schwartz (1881-1963) emigrated to the U.S. with his parents in 1899 and became the most influential composer, fiddler and bandleader to shape and define modern U.S. klezmer groups. He arrived in the musical establishment via an acquaintance from small jobs with David Nodiff, a part-time composer and so-called A&R (for artist and repertoire) man for Columbia Records, who helped bring klezmer and other ethnic musicians to record companies. Nodiff hired Schwartz in 1917 to find new Jewish talent and head up instrumental recording sessions.

This recording provides some of the time and style progression of Yiddish American music from 1917, when Schwartz recorded Russian Scissors for Columbia with the Oriental Orchestra. In 1927, he recorded the same tune again as Russishe Shehr, in a brassier rendition played by his own orchestra. Still a later 1935 version can be heard in Russian Sher National Dance, the 22nd cut, recorded with the Orkestr Novinka. (And that is the most recent recording here.) The musical and stylistic progressions from 1917 and 1918 through 1935 are admirably explained in an accompanying 8-page pamphlet.

This is not the jazzy stuff many will remember from the 1940s and 1950s. It came before the Barry Sisters, before Naftule Brandwein and Dave Tarras. Abe Schwartz was their mentor.

With this LP, I became a youthful Dadaist with my tongue planted firmly in my futt futt futt.

Thanks Mr. K.

Uneven.......2006-03-16

The sophomore jinx hit Tonio K. hard. The follow-up to "Life in the Food Chain" is uneven. The four stars are earned, though, by the three over-the-top 80's-style ballads "Sons of the Revolution", "Say Goodbye" and "Cinderella's Baby", which are right up there with anything else he's recorded.

The return of Jacques Vaché (proto-dada).......2001-05-13

The only criticism we can do against dada movement is that it didn't wrecked itself, denying its own essence. Er...yes, Tonio K. too. This album is surely one of my favourite of all years. It's messy, unclear, hilariously sad and extatic, and surely really funny. Tonio K began with "Life in the foodchain " which was...rock. This one is...rock. But : If you like rock, .... Tonio K is (yeah, in fact...was) completely brilliantly mad. The songs, even though the album sound like some 50-60 rock encyclopedy are completely addicting. The lyrics are ...hilarious (but take time to decrypt what he tried to say) and completely cynic. The top is reached by the inner picture of this guy...flashing gun on his .... Warning : Tonio K is now a complete .... Go buy "life in the foodchain" and "Amerika" (the best "rock" albums ever made in amerika) and leave the rest to ....

Tonio's second album is also his second best.......1999-05-10

Everything I said about "Life in the Foodchain" applies here, with the added treat of a very odd Dada suite on side two (whoops, giving away my age there - CDs don't have two sides!)

Simon Rattle leads the 12 Cellists of the Berlin Philharmonic beyond their popular South American Getaway project with this trip north of the border, where they mine the sounds of American jazz, popular song, spirituals, and film themes. The results are varied, and the tracks that work best may surprise you. Chick Corea's "Spain" begins as a moving lament, but unfolds to become sweeping, grand, and celebratory. The Pink Panther theme is a lightweight but fun romp through the familiar tune (the cellists even do a little whistling while they work). Meanwhile, the oddest cut has to be Sergio Cardenas's "The Flower Is a Key (A Rap for Mozart)," on which Sir Simon Rattle himself performs both spoken word and conducting duties (he's far better at conducting). All in all, this is a pleasant, relaxing album of timeless pop favorites. --Jason Verlinde

I want Amerika on DVD.......2007-07-02

This was an incredible miniseries and I absolutely can't see why it was only shown once, buried at the request of the then-emerging PC mobs. Yes, it was anti-communist, anti-Soviet and anti-totalitarian. Somehow, the communist, Soviet-loving totalitarians bullied ABC into erasing even the memory of this television even. I still remember my deep disappointment at the time after I learned that I would not be able to watch the couple of episodes I had missed because there weren't going to be any reruns.

Dear ABC, please, please, please let us have another look at your work of 20 years ago. We will pay money for the pleasure so, what seems to be the problem?

And, yes, the music was great but I want the visuals as well.

Timeless, Etheral and Chillingly Romantic!.......2004-02-25

Proving once again that he was the heart & soul of Asia and maybe the best vocal of King Crimson, John Wetton comes up with a timeless acoustic - live collection of his greatest hits during the long years of his career. The sound is brilliant and John's singing is meticulously precise and flawless. So much passion and strenght. Timeless Music, music ahead of it's time -like the period when he was the lead vocal for Asia. All praise to the quality / producers / of this CD. This is probably the best acoustic performance by John except the Stockholm one. If you still don't know John's or Asia's music - buy this CD, and you will have it all...

Beautiful yet restrained.......2001-07-17

Wetton may not be the best singer in the world but he is certainly one of the most passionate. Unfortunately, Wetton seems to tone down his performances on this CD, while they're still passionate they seem to lack that level of intense deep to the core of the soul passion that I know he's capable of after hearing some of his other live performances. I've heard live versions of "Hold Me Now" that have just about moved me to tears. Unfortunately this CD lacks that level of emotion.

The CD is still well worth getting if for no other reason than to hear "Christina" and Wetton's acoustic version of "Don't Cry" which is exceptional on this CD. Those 2 songs alone make this CD WELL worth getting, the rest of the material, while very good, isn't up to the standards I normally expect of Mr. Wetton however.

Sung With The Voice Of An Angel..........2001-01-14

So good...it will give you *chills*. The emotion John Wetton exudes...elicits...inspires in this strong and softly ethereal performance will set you in awe, and take you to heaven upon an angel's wings. This is possibly Wetton's finest live album, and it's certainly my favorite. You may not weep at the beauty as I did at tracks such as "Hold Me Now" and "Rendesvous 6:02", but then again...you might.... Light several candles or turn the lights down low, and take flight with this hauntingly beautiful artist...and explore where he leads you in this unparalleled progressive soft-rock musical arrangement..... There is nothing else like it.

Stunning.......2000-04-07

I admit I was a bit skeptical when I purchased this one after the dissappointing "Chasing the Dragon" live CD... I feared the sound quality would be dull and the performance as boring as Eric Claptons too famous acoustic rendition of "Layla..." What a shock. "Voice of America" is performed with Wetton playing a grand piano and his voice is possibly the strongest it's ever been. Even the new songs (at the time) from Battle Lines blend in with the old perfectly, plus he performs the first part of UK's best song ever, "30 Years" with his voice and a synth. He even manages to pull of the Asia rockers such as "Don't Cry" and "Only Time Will Tell" in a tasteful manner. The sound quality is among the best I've heard, crisp and clean... If you're a fan of Asia, King Crimson, or UK, check it out. Those who are too old to rock and roll may enjoy it also...

Too silent, too simple.......2000-01-29

As a teenager, I was a big fan of Asia. Since John Wetton left the band, its music became uninteresting.

»Akustika - Live In America« can be considered as a kind of Unplugged Greatest Hits from Wetton and the bands he has been part of.

So there he is, on stage, a man with a nice and emotional voice, a guitar and a piano. Everything is nice and clean... but it is kind of boring. These silent versions of rock hymns like »Voice Of America« do not come near the power and the intense soul of their originals.

The exception is »Only Time Will Tell« out of which John Wetton makes a good Akustika. The album as a whole is something you put on when you invite your new girlfriend up for the first time.

Great Debut Cd.......2003-06-01

I just received this cd today and can't stop listening to it. Michael E Johnson is great. He was the leader of the group, Killer Bees. This 8 track Cd is well worth the money. Unfortunatly, Mr. Johnson passed away ealier this year. He will be missed. This 1993 CD was very tough to find and was worth the money! My favorite song on the cd is certainly #5 CIA, the beats are amazing.

DIFFERENT MICHAEL JOHNSONs.......1999-02-03

Watch out - Michael E. Johnson is not the same Michael Johnson of Bluer Than Blue fame.
