Lonely island pick.......2007-06-10

I'm from Holland and a fan from the beginning. Unfortunately they only performed here once. In my opinion this band is very much underrated - I really don't know why their earlier albums aren't reissued on cd. This album is a big surprise; for me it's their best they made so far and I couldn't believe they were able to improve their songwriting and playing. No one sings ballads better and more sensitive than Earnie, who can play such melodic solo's like Earl. Highlights are: "Am I losing you", "All I gave" and of course the unforgettable "After this time",here they reach a peak little bands can follow. I think it's clear that this album is one of my favourits and I keep on listen it - it still thrills me after all those years.

Scorching Blues & R&B: The South's Talented Cate Brothers.......2001-08-25

The Cate Brothers Band, with Ernie on smooth, muscular vocals and keyboards, and brother Earl on lead guitar and backing vocals fooled me. Blue-eyed soul, R&B, hot Blues and a veneer of pop with funky backbeats was much more than I expected, having first heard the Brothers backing up one of the greatest modern electric Blues guitarists, Coco Montoya. Radioland has a little something for everyone. One of the catchiest tunes would be the title track, mid tempo longing for a mysterious woman who got tired of a one horse town and said she came from Radioland. The Cate Brothers speculate this would be somewhere south of the Mason-Dixon line. Coco Montoya joins Earl for a shared lead of scorching Blues ax on the aptly named Damn Guilty Blues. More down and dirty Blues appear on Please No More, After This Time, and the outstanding and haunting Am I Losing You. The singer hears his woman talking in her sleep, and mentioning someone else's name...The Brothers take it home with the help of their letter perfect back-up band. Uptempo tracks create an infectious groove with Solid Ground, Sometimes It Jumps and the funky work-out of Strip Search (For Love). A solid effort and worthy contender for spot on your CD changer. It brings to mind both Muscle Shoals and that old, beloved Stax Volt Memphis sound. When they call it Delta soul, you'll soon know what it's all about!

Outstanding! Permanent in my truck CD changer........1999-04-14

I was turned on to this group by a friend in Florida. You don't hear the Cate Brothers in California. What a shame. I wish they would record more music like the tracks on this CD. This CD makes you turn up the volume. Every track is good. Much more intense than "Struck a Vein"

Smooth voice, hot guitar licks. this is one of my favorites........1999-01-08

Cate brothers have some of the best blues both rough and smooth. Lead vocals in upper range with the smoothness of silk. Lead guitar has some of the most tasteiest licks I've heard in a long time. The next CD I buy will be "Srtuck A Vein". Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy!

Fantastic!!!.......1998-11-15

This is one of my favorite CD's from a collection of over 300. It and the other Cate Brother's CD, "Struck a Vein", are permanent selections on my 5 disk CD changer. My favorite selections are "There Goes the Neighborhood" and "Damn Guilty Blues".

The performances, sound quality and production are all first rate.

Upbeat Pop/Rock, Nicolette Does It All.......2005-04-09

Nicolette's third release is definately her most upbeat and danceable. I agree, it's not techno/disco or anything of the sort. Just pop-rock mixed with a little country. In fact, the only ballad is "Long Distance Love."

The best track is "Ooo-Eee" with prominant background vocals by Linda Ronstadt. This has gone down as Nicolette's lesser appreciated albums, but it has a good many moments and fans of Nicolette never complained.

Nicolette's 3rd Time at Bat, and She Struck Out Again........2005-03-08

Nicolette's first LP, "Nicolette," was a certifiable smash. Over a half-mil in sales, one of 1978's biggest singles ["Lotta Love"], and a debut effort that had most critics applauding.

The followup LP, 1979's "In the Nick of Time," produced one, lower-top-forty hit ["Let Me Go, Love"], and demonstrated, more or less, that the "Nicolette" phenomenon wasn't going to be repeated, not in sales, not in singles, and not in sound ["Nicolette's" eclectic stylings were jettisoned in favor of an all-pop sound for "In the Nick of Time"]. Nevertheless, if "In the Nick of Time" was wildly different from "Nicolette," it was different in a good way, and some of Nicolette's finest songs grace that second LP.

Whether Warner Brothers just got tired of Nicolette because she hadn't replicated the success of "Nicolette" in her second LP, or Nicolette had a short time and a contract to play out with Warners, the third LP in about 3 years, "Radioland," went largely without notice, and even though I'm one of Nicolette's biggest fans, it's kind of easy to see why the only notice that "Radioland" got was largely negative.

The album is sometimes billed as Nicolette's disco-bunny album, but that's just wrong. Two songs at best approach anything near disco ["How Can We Go On" and "Straight from the Heart"]. So don't not buy the album because you think it's disco-fied, because it's not.

Shortcomings of the LP include the number of tracks and playtime [only 9 tracks grace this effort, and barely come in at over a half-hour], and once again, as with "In the Nick of Time," a real lack of the variety of musical genres that made the debut LP "Nicolette" so fetching. Instead, we're treated to songs that were clearly aimed at a rock audience [the title tune and the driving, albeit toe-tapping "Ooo-Eee"], or a pseudo disco audience [the cuts listed above], or at a pop audience [the bubble-gummy, Doobie-Brothers-"What A Fool Believes" soundalike "When You Come Around" and irresistable "Fool for Love"]. The album suffers from an identity crisis, really. While it might be said that the debut smash LP "Nicolette" weaved in and out of many musical shapes and sufferred from the same kind of pigeon-holing, the production and song selections and overall feeling of "Nicolette" all made for a magical and winning LP there, if one that was searching for an identity. "Radioland" feels like a very rushed effort, and one that was desperate to cash in on the anti-disco sentiment that was gaining popularity at that time with its pop, rock and soft-disco-edged tracks. While there are some strong songs here ["Radioland," "Ooo-Eee," "Tears, Tears and More Tears," and "Long-Distance Love"], they're placed among some of the weakest songs that Nicolette has ever recorded, which makes for an overall weak album.

It's hard to imagine any company ever loosing faith in the vocal talents of Nicolette, and it's harder still to imagine the same man who produced Nicolette's debut and second LPs, producing "Radioland," but perhaps there was some real hope that the album's first [and only, I think] single, the rock-edged sing-along "Ooo-Eee," would return Nicolette to the top forty, which sadly didn't happen [I don't even think the single scored on the Hot 100, although a few years later, the song would be an instant and very big hit on the country charts for none other than Dolly Parton!].

Still, you can't find at least two of those great, strong cuts anywhere else, and for what it's worth, even "How Can We Go On" grows on you after a few listens. If "Radioland" is easily Nicolette's least-memorable album, we're reminded of a sad truth of the music industry with this LP, that the finest artistic talents are easily diminished and even destroyed by business people. If Nicolette's wildly successful debut effort, the LP "Nicolette," couldn't be repeated, clearly it was for a lack of even trying, as "Radioland" so sorely demonstrates.

"Radioland" was very much a waste of Nicolette's talents. That those talents still manage to shine through in a very much "less-than" effort, however, points to the real appeal of Nicolette Larson: that wonderful voice, that wonderful way she could take a song and get you hooked, sometimes for the song's great production and melody, all times for her unique vocals wrapped around the song's lyrics.

Good music, good sound.......2005-02-23

I have waited for years for the CD release of "Radioland" and "All Dressed Up & No Place to Go", and it was worth the wait. Sadly, Nicolette Larson never got the attention she deserved (except for the popular "Lotta Love" from her first LP). "Radioland" shows her vocals in top form, and her harmonies with Linda Ronstadt and Maureen McDonald are excellent. The musicianship is also outstanding, featuring members of the Doobie Brothers and Little Feat. Best of all, the recording is outstanding. I highly recommend both of these recordings for any fan of the late Ms. Larson.

Back to the golden age of radio.......2000-02-27

I saw the movie Radioland Murders a couple of years ago and liked it a lot. I grabbed this soundtrack from Amazon just because it was so cheap and didn't really expect anything special from it, but I was very positively surprised when I received the CD. It features some great music from the 1940's, including big band (Glenn Miller's In the Mood) and authentic-sounding commercial jingles, which have actually been composed and written by Joel McNeely, the composer of the film score.

There are some good instrumental tracks by McNeely featured too, but the emphasis of the album is on the songs and jingles heard in the movie. A film music buff may be disappointed, but I liked this soundtrack a lot and find myself listening to it weekly.

Great nostalgic journey back to the fourties!

Good Cd, get it if you liked the movie...........1999-08-31

If you liked the movie, which I thought was great, than get the cd. It has about every piece of music that was in the movie. As for the curious score fans out this cd has about 20 minutes of score by Joel McNeely, and in my opion it's great. There are 6 tracks of score by Joel(all in his typical rippoff fashion :purposely barrowed or not:), but he also was involed with most of the promotional jingles and wrote some of the lyrics to them. If you like McNeely you might want to get the cd just for him, but hey, that and some other great 50's songs... it's worth the 6 bucks.

classic 1940's music!!!a must for collector!!!.......1999-08-12

this cd is full of classic 1940's material.It has jingles ballads and other goodies in this cd !!Why it is almost like a audio time machines of a bygone era!!!Buy it at this lower price go for it !!!It 's awesome!!!!a must for people who grew up in the era or just love the music of the time!!!

Classic, fun music - the spirit of an era gone by.......1998-12-29

This soundtrack is so much fun to listen to - not only does it let you relive the spirit of the movie, but it's classic 1940s material! Complete with promotional jingles, ballads, and fundamental swing numbers, this is a must-have!

Loads of laughs you'll never get tired of..........2000-02-28

John Boy & Billy's "Radioland" is a collection of their best (and often funniest) moments in between the release of this CD and their former CD "Rocket Science" (which is also highly recommended by me). Mad Max is still mad at the world (for telling him that smoking and eating meat is bad), the Playhouse is still funny (the Parrot Joke is a hoot because of Brady's pathetic excuse of a parrot imitation which sounds like everything from a dog to a cat to a sick bird), and Lipless still yuks it up with some surprisingly humorous jokes. And Rev. Billy Ray Collins takes an interesting look into the world of "Cartoon Homer-sexuals". This CD has loads of laughs you'll never get tired of.
