BEST c-d on ragtime EVER!!!.......2007-06-27

This is the most enjoyable c-d on ragtime that I have ever had. It is WONDERFUL. There are no words to describe the enjoyment that i have had listening to this c-d,

Music as heard in the 2004 film The Deserter!.......2004-10-22

This is a great album for anyone who like ragtime music. For people who have seen the 2004 film The Deserter by Eric B. Borgman and wondered where you could find the music, some of these exact tunes can be heard in it! Borgman cut a deal with Rick Benjamin and used several tunes from this CD and That Demon Rag!

This CD is highly recommended by me I truly believe that this is the best ragtime orchestra going on the planet!

foot stomping great ragtime.......2001-11-10

From first to last, this is the best cd of ragtime played by people who know ragtime. Unfortunately, the tunes continue to play in my head for hours after.

Truly Infectious Music.......2001-03-05

It's difficult to explain the feeling one gets when they first listen to that perfect period recording. It's a split between true happiness, excitment, and subtle comfort, the feeling as if you have been propelled into the past, the feeling as if you can see what has long been forgotten, just by closing your eyes. It's pretty difficult for an orchestra to achieve this, but I think it is safe to say that the Paragon Ragtime Orchestra or 'PRO' does.

The PRO embodies the essence of the era in which it's music (a colaboration of marches, rags, cakewalks, one steps, waltzs, and so on) came from. All of the music preformed was written for ragtime orchestra (including Pine Apple Rag, for all of you Scott Joplin fans out there) and are part of the Arthur Pryor music collection that was recently rediscovered in Atlantic City by the founder of the orchestra, Rick Benjamin.(Arthur Pryor was a member of the Sousa band, and the conductor of his own orchestra at the turn-of-the-century)

Utilizing superb training, enthusiastic sound, and chamber orchestra polish, the PRO succeeds in bringing a long forgotten musical genre back into light. And rest asured this is not a Dixieland recording, this is not a brashy, low class, bordello band. It is what can only be described as the band that would perform in the park every Sunday after church, at a high class social event, or the departure of the latest luxury liner. It is the embodiment of an era that will never come again, but is still firmly implanted in our memories.

I strongly recommend Knockout Drops to any music fan who is looking for an extraordinary ragtime recording that dosen't have a hint of piano in it. This also goes for the orchestras other recordings (That Demon Rag!, The Whistler and His Dog, and On the Boardwalk) and their video (Charlie Chaplin Moving Picture Show).

Bastard Sons of Shane MacGowan and the DKM.......2003-06-20

Germany's The Porters - a new requirement for diehard fans of Celtic Pub/Punk made infamous by bands such as the early Pogues, Shane MacGowan's solo works, the Tossers, and the Dropkick Murphys. The 17 Guinness soaked tribute tracks offered up are mostly covers (Leaving of Liverpool, Sam Hall, Rising of the Moon, etc.) and are more in the Murphys' Oi vain of punk than the Pogues traditional sound. The Porters' release even contends with and surprisingly sometimes surpasses the latest release by the Murphys. A highly recommended soon to be pub punk classic. Slainte!

Following the example of many contemporary Broadway singers, Susan Egan (Beauty and the Beast, Triumph of Love) offers a mix of pop songs and show tunes on this solo recording. On the musical-theater side, Egan bravely unearths obscure nuggets (Jerry Herman's "Where in the World Is My Prince," Alan Menken and David Zippel's "I Can't Believe My Heart," from the movie Hercules) and gives them a soothing, laidback reading. Even her natural charm, however, can't alleviate the sugary whimsy of Marcy Heisler and Zina Goldrich's "Taylor, the Latte Boy" (incomprehensibly, a favorite on the New York cabaret circuit). On the pop side, the clear-voiced Egan offers nice adult-contemporary versions of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" and Cat Stevens's "Oh Very Young." But her warm, no-nonsense style isn't a good fit for Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights," an outsize, demented song that requires a playful sense of drama that Egan lacks. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Album Description

COFFEE HOUSE mixes traditional rock, pop and cabaret styles into an acoustic blend of traditional coffeehouse music.

Susan Egan is a Tony-nominated Broadway star (Beauty and the Beast, Cabaret, Thoroughly Modern Millie) who has made a name for herself in TV (Drew Carey, NYPD Blue), film (13 Going on 30, Hercules, Spirited Away) and recording (over 30 cast albums and soundtracks). Egan is joined by Broadway star Terrence Mann for their first duet since they originated the roles of Beauty and the Beast.

Coffee House cd.......2007-01-12

Of The 2 albums I have just purchased by Susan Egan, this is the best. One can sit down and relax with this beautiful music. I hope she does more of this type of album.

There's something about Susan Egan's voice that just keeps you listeneing!.......2006-11-23

Something about her voice, it's like the perfect combonation of broadway/cabaret style, with a modern, sassy sound! I think part if it is her cool american accent!

Love Susan Egan, love coffee house!

Wonderful!.......2006-05-12

After reading a few reviews on this site, I have come to the conclusion that this is one of the albums where it's you love it or you hate it with no intermediate. It's a fairly simple concept. If you like different renditions of show tunes and pop songs, then go for this, it's beautifully done, Susan's voice is warm and dynamic, and she puts herself into these songs. If you don't like people doing covers, well then, I'd still say listen to some samples because she's that good.

There are many strong pieces in this album, her renditions of "Oh Very Young", "Wurthering Heights" (this song was much more full bodied and appealing than Kate Bush), "Roses", and "Oh How I Loved You" are particularly heart rending.

Addictive.......2005-10-01

This CD is addictive: I cannot take it out of my CD player. I purchased the album because I love Susan's voice, and I knew none of the songs beyond "Both Sides Now." The performances are wonderful, and I think Christopher McGovern's arrangements compliment her quite well and add a lot of beauty on their own. As for the songs I didn't know, I cannot get 'Oh, How I Loved You" out of my head.

True talent, unique singer.......2005-08-01

Susan Egan is an amazing performer, very true to her singing. Wether it's Broadway or her own cd's, she always sings with her heart and soul, perfectly capturing all the emotions in her own distinctive style.

All the songs on "Coffee House" were chosen by Susan herself - the ones she loved, could relate to and honestly wanted to sing. And it really shows, as we can hear a great joy and emotional engagement in Susan's singing - nothing is forced or over the top. She hits every note perfectly and knows how to make the most of her impressively wide vocal range. Song choices really reflect Susan's endearing personality - romantic, passionate, yet hilarious with a great sense of humor. There's no chance to get bored with her music and this album is a perfect choice for any occasion.

Susan is a well-loved and known musical stage performer these days, and her numerous Broadway/Tv/Movie credits just prove her wonderful talent and versatility. If you're tired of plastic pop and pop-idols being produced in masses, just try "Coffee House" and enjoy the natural charm of Susan's beautiful voice singing to the top-notch arrangements. Definitely a must-have!
