Turning Music Into Gold CD.......2007-07-27

This is probably one of Stewart's better compilation discs. I had purchased the LP "Bombs Away Dream Babys", and happened to see this cd in the bargain bin for $7.99, and decided to take a chance, knowing it included the new music of "Dream Babies Go Hollywood." Years later, I was told that it was very rare, and hard to come by. I now have about 30 of Stewart's discs, and most of his lps, and finally got a chance to see him in person this past summer, and he is truly and American icon. This CD is truly one of his best, and worth every cent, if you can afford it!

GOLD.......2007-02-08

I had the one cd on vinyl. Why does it cost so much?? I would really to get it but not paying $129 for it.

Loved the songs and the song with Stevie Nicks.

Great value........2006-06-20

Until this CD was released the only way to get Stewart's late 70's hits on the RSO label was to look for "Bombs Away Dream Babies" and then pay a steep price. "Best of..." has the tracks singles collectors will be looking for from that period: "Gold", "Midnight Wind" and "Lost Her In the Sun".

A master of his craft.......2003-08-09

John Stewart originally made a name for himself as a member of the Kingston trio, who had their biggest hit (Tom Dooley) before he joined them. John was with them for six years, but this collection concentrates on the music he recorded after he went solo.

The set begin with five tracks from California bloodlines, one of his best albums and ends with three tracks from Airdream believer, recorded around a quarter of a century later. During that time, John recorded for several different labels so putting this compilation together must have taken considerable effort and determination.

As a songwriter, the most successful song of John's was Daydream believer, a huge hit for the Monkees in 1967. Anne Murray's cover of the song was a hit in the late seventies. John recorded the song more than once, but the version on this collection is the one he recorded in the nineties. It's great to have one of John's own versions of the song but although he does it well, somehow it doesn't quite fit in - the rest of John's music is folk, albeit with other influences, whereas Daydream believer is a lightweight, fun, pop-country song. Of the remaining songs, Gold was his biggest American hit and his only (minor) British hit, while Midnight wind and Lost her in the sun provided further American hits.

John clearly has fans within the music business as the backing vocalists who have occasionally supported him include Linda Ronstadt, Rosanne Cash and two members of Fleetwood Mac (Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham), while Nanci Griffith recorded a duet with him, Sweet dreams will come - it first appeared on her album, Little love affairs.

As with all compilations, it is always possible to argue about what's left out (one track missing is his horse racing song, Let the big horse run) but this is the most comprehensive collection of his music that is available - and it's brilliant.

John Stewart Gold.......2001-08-28

I have been a John Stewart fan ever since he replaced Dave Guard with the Kingston Trio. John Stewart is a comparatively unsung performer whose number of albums and quality of music challenges the redoubtable Gordon Lightfoot. I feel that "John Stewart Gold" is just that, gold, and is a remarkable collection of music by a remarkable artist.
