"The legend continues," writes the only remaining "real" Temptation Otis Williams in this CD's thank-you notes. There is little here besides his survival and the group name to connect this to the classic lineups' prodigious achievements, however. Phoenix Rising lived up to its title by becoming a hit in 1998, yet it sounds more like Babyface leftovers sung by Take 6 than anything deserving of carrying the once-mighty Tempts' handle. --Rickey Wright

They can still do it........2005-09-30

This is a refreshing new sound and direction for the Temptations. But as always, it's good as usual. Theo Peoples is great in the lead on " Stay " and yes it is him. I saw Theo recently singing lead for the Four Tops and at some point, near the end of one of the songs he was leading, he threw in a line from " This is my promise " . I was floored. It was at that point that I knew that it was him on all leads, where many of us thought it was Barrington "Bo " Henderson, on this incredible album. Having sang in a singing group myself, I am well aware of the different vocal textures possessed by various singers. I know it's Theo's voice. Believe me, it's Theo and not " Bo ". If you don't believe me, go see the Four Tops as soon as possible, and you'll realise it's him too. Anyway, all of the songs on this cd are great. We all know they're not the original leads, but this is great singing-period. We know they can't compare to the original five, so why should we? We should assess this collection of Temptations on their own merit-period. This is how they should be assessed. It's a great CD.

Amazing because of their " HARMONIES".......2005-08-09

This cd is tight because of it's harmonies, not just because of Theo Peoples. And contrary to what Rickey Wright had to say, this cd sounds like the Tempts, not like Take 6.He must not have heard "Everybody Needs Love"just listen to when The Tempts sing the part {Wanna Be Kissed} from Everybody Needs Love, it's sung in the same tone as {Let Me Be Your Man} from "Stay".And how the original Tempts harmonized on "The Way You Do The Things You Do" in those deep voices, repeating "The Way You Do The Things You Do"just like the newer Tempts did on Stay Til The Morning Baby Rock Me Girl Like I Wanna Rock You.It's sung in the same deep tone.Modern day studios are way better than the old studios,that might be another reason why he said it didn't sound like the Tempts, but it seems like some people don't know that singing in a modern day studio is totally different from singing in a old studio. As time went on studios improved dramatically from the 60's to the 90's and up until today. The newer studios also have better microphones, everything concerning the studio is better today. But anyway, this cd is a must have, the harmony is great, as soon as you put in the cd it's amazing. If you're thinking about buying it, stop thinking and just buy, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Somebody said The original Tempts never sounded better collectively. I disagree, "The Way You Do The Things You Do","Message From A Blackman"from The Puzzle People Album is proof that they did, as well as "Dream Come True",","The Little Drummer Boy","SIlver Bells","I Heard It Through The Grapevine" from the cloud nine album,(turn down your right speaker to just hear the vocals from the left speaker on "I Heard It Through The Grapevine)."Gonna Keep On Tryin Til I Win Your Love" from The Sky's The Limit Album. All of the acapella versions off of the new DVD and especially the acapellas of You're My Everything, Just My Imagination, Cloud Nine and Ball of Confusion prove that there's nothing like The original Tempts. Their version of "You Can Depend On Me" and " I Gotta Know Now", "Try To Remember" , "Hello Young Lovers" and "Psychedelic Shack" live.{Psychedelic shack That's Where It's At- deep voiced harmonies again.} I gotta say You Can Depend On Me again. You Can De, then you hear the bass on "pend", come on, the classic 5 is untouchable, but I respect your opinion.

Temptations forever

outstanding because of Theo.......2004-03-10

This is a wonderful CD due most in part
to the outstanding vocals of Theo Peoples
on Stay, This is My Promise, and If I Give You
My Heart. Although he is not credited on this
CD for his contributions his efforts should not
go unnoticed. He is my favorite Temptation and
now a member of the Four Tops. If you ever have
a chance to see him in concert don't pass it up.

Love it from beginning to end.......2003-10-03

This is a great album. I've always loved the Temptations and this CD does not disappoint.

A fitting hodgepodge of Temptations styles.......2003-07-09

Released to coincide with the Otis Williams' book, as well as the highly rated NBC biopic, "Phoenix Rising" is an appropriate title for an album that, like the mythical bird, represents a re-emergence of the legendary group. With Williams as the only surviving member of the original quintet, by the time of the album's 1998, many feel that the "Temps" glory days were behind them.

Boy, were (and are) they wrong!

The disc has enough of the "old" and enough of the "new" to satisfy old school purists and R & B novices.

The album begins with a forty-four second "interlude" entitled "Hereafter" that allows the respective voice parts to shine. Following that is the hit "Stay", a song that pays tributes to the group's roots. "False Faces", cut #3, has an 80's feel about it while the fourth track, "How Could He Hurt You" is as contemporary as anything by R. Kelly or Brian McKnight.

"This is My Promise" is the stuff that weddings are made of.

Other strong cuts are the Freddie Jackson-sounding "If I Give You My Heart", the funky "My Love", and the heavenly "Just Like I Told You".

Randy California (Wolfe) Lives On!.......2006-01-10

Yes, R. California (California name given to him by Hendrix to distinguish between the two Randys in his pre-Experience band) lives on. I'm not much of a reviewer, but I've always been a Spirit fan. A lot of their early music was overlooked, but not even close to their later music. This is a sad shame because there is a massive amount of music released after California's death...and more yet to be released. If you are just rediscovering Spirit, check this cd out. It has a great variety of styles (as was Spirit's way from the very beginning) and it is an enjoyable listen. Did I like it all? No, but I did like the majority of it. I'll leave it to that. I'm no music critic and what little I don't like on a cd, someone else will love. Buy this! You'll enjoy most of it if not all...and the stuff you don't enjoy you'll appreciate!

But will not release ARE YOU READY !They could sell more copys of this live cd, then all of the Bullsh** hit cd !!!!!

A great live cd from Atlanta Rythm Section.......2007-03-06

This is a great live cd for fans of Atlanta Rythm Section which shows them prefoming at their creative performing and creative peak. Also recommended cds: BEST OF ATLANTA RYTHM SECTION and QUINELLA.

excellent late period ARS.......2005-10-27

OK admittedly 1981 was the backside of the bands popularity. They had a few singles that broke, but most of us who were longtime fans felt like they had left something behind with the slickness of the songs like Do It or Die and Imaginary Lover and the departure of Robert Nix, who was a co-writer on so many of the bands classic songs. However, this disc shows a band that continues to burn hot while showing a high degree of professionalism

The disc starts of with Champagne Jam and Not Going to Let It Bother Me Tonight. Both are tight and provide an easy entry to the set. Songs like Homesick and Large Time give one of rock and rolls most underrated guitar players , Barry Bailey a chance to shine. Ronnnie Hammond is spot on as a vocalist and the rhythm section kicks everyone's butt.

Highly recomend. I much prefer this to Are You Ready

ARS, Live @The Savoy.......2004-01-24

Well, it is not as good as "Are You Ready", but what is? Sound quality is excellent. Performance is excellent with a few exceptions, but thats why I like live albums. Very nostalgic. It takes me back to the carefree days of the late 70's and early 80's. I strongly recomend to original ARS fans like me.

A Blast From The Past.......2000-06-27

Dont let anyone tell you that omar&the howlers are Creedence clones From the the moment the blast of omars voice comes growling out of your speakers complete with feedback you have a rare talent out of the same town as Bo Diddley and lately out of the home of rocking blues Austin Texas Crank up the barbecue ,grab a beer and invite a few friends round and set the neighbourhood alight rocking with a slab of pure swamp blues If your foot fails to tap to the beat, ring your local doctor as you must be dead. So in brief ,if swirling organs and chugging guitars combined with a voice out of the deepest part of the gravel pit are your prescription for a tonic for the drabness of life so take this with the greatest urgency

blast from the past.......2000-06-20

You could call me a completist as I have everything ever released by omar and the howlers From the first bars the swamp oozes out of the stereo speakers complete with feedback . many have compared omar with creedence but get real,he has continued and grown,they were at the end heading in a heavier track They must feed singers a diet of pure gravel with a dose of passion ,I am not a 50's style rock fan but this blast from 1987 has its roots in little richard and buddy holly. It is still timeless music that the toes tap to

Customer Reviews:

Just amazing retro Tubes.......2002-02-23

All of the material on this CD was recorded before the "fame and fortune". We have some demos and some un-released tunes. The un-released material is a display of sheer musical talent. All of these songs appear to be high energy jam sessions that have been polished to a nice tight presentation. Most impressive is the fact that the un-released songs are all done live ( in a small to medium sized club)yet still sound studio "tweaked" as far as band tightness is concerned. The signature changes, lighting quick fills, and off time drumming of Praire is a clinic in dynamic drumming.Fee and the boys sound like they are having way too much fun , I just wish I was one of the few people in the crowd during the taping of these sessions.
If you a moderate to hard core Tubes fan you will love this CD as it`s an timeless documentation of the creation of one of rocks most technical groups. Listen and pick the songs apart for yourself... you`ll agree.

The Tubes at their earliest and most experimental.......2001-03-19

The real highlight of this disc is the batch of live demos from their pre-A&M days. Songs like "Baby, Your Face Is Mutated" and "Never Amount To Nothing/Hermuta" showcase the superb musicianship and wicked humor of this oft-overlooked cult band. These songs best capture the spirit of The Tubes as a live act. The early versions of "Brighter Day" and "White Punks On Dope" aren't as polished as the versions that would find their way onto the first two Tubes records, but what's great about The Tubes isn't always what's "polished".

It is about time!.......2000-04-13

It is amazing that it took so long for this collection of great tunes to come out. This is the album that those of us have wanted to hear for over 20 years. It captures the band before the commercial producers at A&M and Capitol put their spin on what they felt the band "should" sound like. The music is raw and real, it is the closest to the live shows yet released. I hope there will be future volumes of material from this vastly under appreciated band.

Embryonic Tubes.......2000-03-30

Just picked this up the other day. If you're a big Tubes fan you'll want to buy this, but be warned, these are very early recordings from the band's beginnings and is not their best stuff. Early versions of WPOD, Mondo Bondage and Brighter Day are interesting to listen to but the real reason to buy this CD would be to hear the songs that have never before been available. A lot of the subject matter in the lyrics can be found in later Tubes songs (ex. Whiz Quiz/What Do You Want From Life). Musically, these equate with early Tubes albums but lyrically, these songs are strictly the novelty type.

LAKE TROUT - ALONE AT LAST: Incorporating drum and bass elements, jazz and even pop sensibilities, Lake Trout's brand of "organica" is a captivating fusion of danceable urban grooves and trance-inducing rhythms.

Customer Reviews:

eerily transcendent.......2004-02-17

This is a live album, and quite honestly, though I like Lake Trout's work, I don't like this album as a whole. Their live performances today are better than this, and they seem to have come a long way since then, judging from this release. Its seeming lack of direction is too loose and free-flowing for my taste, and the majority of it sounds like an almost exact (though drawn out) mold for what's to come on their following release, Another One Lost, their best album to date. Still, I recommend it for the songs "#2," "I'll Be" (also featured on Volume for the Rest of It) and "Throw Me the Whip." #2 in particular is intense and utterly hypnotic, the best song on the album. In fact, I would sum up the mood of the entire album as reflecting an intense, introspective dive into the unknown. If you like music that takes you to the edge of trippy and weird (in a good way), then you'll appreciate Lake Trout. That said, they really should put out a live album from among their most recent performances and include songs such as "Peel," "Bully," and the untitled songs that are featured on the encoded MP3 version of AOL, some of which are taken from a live performance at XM Satellite Radio in D.C.

Fantastic blend of indy-rock and drum'n'bass.......2003-05-21

I'm not sure I can add much more than has already been said, but the flow to this album is superb, and DJ Who adds a perfect dimension to the unique Lake Trout sound. While at times the compositions themselves seem a bit weak, the album as a whole is fantastic to listen to, and I had it in my car CD player for three or four days straight, which is pretty amazing considering I have a twenty-minute commute each way to work. I definitely recommend this album for anyone curious as to what the hype is about...Lake Trout mixes the rhythms of drum'n'bass quite well with some of the sounds of more standard indy-rock, while even blending in a little bit of the jazzy aspect to their songs. It's dark, but not brooding, and there is a lot of motion to the album. Definitely a recommended CD to pick up.

Jazz-rooted, electronica-visited, uberoriginal rockers.......2002-11-10

Lake Trout started as a swoony jazzy thing that reminded me of Sting's _Dream of the Blue Turtles_. Then, a few years ahead of their time, the delved into a drum-n-bass thing that's in evidence in heaps on this release, Alone at Last. It isn't conventional drum n bass, in that it's all live (the drummer is SICK!), but also in that it rocks and rolls harder and farther than most. Excellent stuff!

The band is of course off in another direction. More recently, they're more directly rock, losing the jazzy and electronic edges for something a bit more heavy and fast. Alone at Last is a great taste of them before that transition.

Get this one...don't waste your time on STS9.......2002-09-23

Lake Trout is an amazing band. They got the jam/jazz/post rock/minimalist/ambient/electronica vibe going on strong. Blows mediocre comparisons like STS9 out of the water...no pun intended ;)

Review of Tracking.......2001-01-10

On Tracking Buffalo, The Big Wu blends clever rhymes with catchy melodies to create an extremely enjoyable CD. They easily differentiate themselves from and possibly supersede other small jam bands with their songwriting and playing ability. The lyrics sometimes have a ballsy triteness in their rhymes that is nothing less than hilarious. My favorite aspect of the CD is how diverse sounding the band is. The Big Wu shifts from G Love/Sublime sounding vocals to a String Cheese sounding acoustic guitar solo to a harmonious "Phil and Jerry" duet jam. The drummer controls the dynamic level quite well and never seems afraid to turn it up a notch when the music calls for it. He is one of the main reasons the jamming sections of the CD don't sound forced, but rather progress naturally. Highlights include Silcanturnitova, Precious Hands, and Red Sky. I strongly recommend this CD for anyone even remotely interested in this genre of music.

New, fresh sound.......2000-06-28

The Big Wu just flat out jams. I've seen them live, and they can play. The album provides a great outline through the different styles that they can mold together into a style all their own. The song Red Sky provides killer lyrics along with one hell of a jam. I would encourage everyone, especially those of you who are into jam bands to check out The Big Wu.

The Big Wuuuuuuu.......2000-03-22

Album of the year? By a mile. And this comes from a band who excels live. I can go days without listening to anything but Wu. Buy this album or miss out on something absolutely beautiful. See them live when they hit your town or state. See ya at the show.

Happy to be one of the gang.......2000-02-29

For those who depended on Wed. nights for survival this and any other recording by the Wu is a necessity. To the uninitiated, this will be a new treat for you. If you enjoy jam bands, positive messages, and music to dance to, help yourself to a big tasty helping of Wu. Each song on this album is strong, each melody is unique, nothing harsh or overdone. A real treat. I've had the pleasure of introducing many friends to my favorite band, and I invite you too, my friend. You won't be dissapointed. Sil CAN turnitover.

Big Wu, the review.......2000-01-20

I think I've played this album so much that my CD player melted through it. I can honestly say that it really is that good, and the odd thing is that the Big Wu have gotten even better since it was put out, considering that it hjas been a couple of years now. Definitley buy this one, and look for the new one, entitled "Folktales for the Bloodshot" coming out soon. I see it's on sale, don't pass it up when opportunity knocks. The sound is very ecclectic, mixing styles of rock, bluegrass, country, R+B,and anything else you can imagine with dueling guitar parts and sweet vocal harmonies. A real treat for any jam band fan, or rock and roll lover.

I loved listening to this disc- It's fun.......1999-09-19

I know the Dude worked really hard on this disc, and I'm pleased to say I think it's really great. The songs are fun to listen to and very melodic. And the Dude's voice sounds better than ever. I wish more people would listen to this disc.

I thought it WAS Phish........1999-09-18

I'm a Billy Breathes fan. Dude of Life takes the members of Phish and recreates some of their earlier jam sounds. He does a great job and gets some nice blues and rock and roll. But I'm a mellow guy. If you like mellow music, you won't like this cd. If you like jam music, you'll love it. High points on this album include the song "Tow Truck Driver" and the song dedicated to those who may have caused the death of Princess Di, "Paparatzi." Yes, some of the songs sound like Story of the Ghost Phish music with a man who sounds like Tom Petty singing. But, all in all, the album is unique. Just a little too loud. I'm getting too old for this kind of stuff.

The Dude Rocks.......1999-09-06

This album confirms what I had always suspected -- the Dude Rocks! The Trey contributions kick butt & Fishman's drumming is right on. The Great Red Shark backs him on a few killer tracks particularly Scuba Dive. Check out Francella - what an hysterical twisted rocker! The Dude has put down 10 great songs that remind me of why I fell in love with Phish in the first place!

simply amazing!.......1999-06-24

it is hard to believe that this is the same Dude from years ago. this album is *wonderful*. every single song is great and the recording is incredible. highly recommended to anyone who has good taste in music, no matter who you are. forget phish- this guy is is better solo!

Great sound with catchy rythms. A fun album........1999-06-11

This album confirms The Dudes ability to create some fun, awesome music. Many of the songs were very catchy and keep you humming them all day. The performance by his supporting musicians is fantastic. He certainly gathered a great group of musicians to accompany him for this album.

However, I would have liked to have heard a little more from the very talented musicians and less of the extra noises that appear throughout. From start to finish, there were definetely signs of great talent. Lot's of fun. It's music that puts you in a good mood!
