About the Artist
In 1987, Ken came to somewhat of a crossroad in his personal & professional life. At the time, the option of making aviation his primary source of income seemed like the thing to do. As Ken put it, "...at least for awhile." Ken flew the line for Continental Express Airlines for over 2 years out of Houston, TX, then moving to Vermont to fill a position as Corporate Pilot from 1989 to 1996.

During those years in Vermont, Ken built and operating his own recording studio. Through his music company, Ken composed, recorded and released 3 albums all about the fun, thrill and excitement of flying. In just a few short years, Ken wrote, produced, recorded, and set up a sales network for these albums where pilots are enjoying his music all across the US, Canada, Switzerland, Germany, England, Australia, and Hungary. His music has been featured on numerous videos, as music beds for commercials and background music for major aviation events.

Product Description
Ken Dravis's first of 3 Aviation CD's. These are Ken's orginals, written, produced and sung by Ken. The other Aviation CD's include, "Hooked On Flight" and "Flying: Home to You.

This bargain introduction to nouveaux Westerners Ranger Doug, Woody Paul, and Too Slim features the kind of songs any singing cowboy worth his salt knows by heart. If there are few surprises, there's more than enough engaging musicianship and singing, highlighted by Ranger Doug's mellow croon and skillful yodeling. The arrangements are spare and exact, emphasizing guitar, bass, and some fiddle, but the real attraction is the trio's harmonies. If Riders in the Sky never quite live up to their heroes like Sons of the Pioneers and Riders of the Purple Sage, the playful affection they bring to these tunes is never less than charming. --Roy Kasten

When the makers of Toy Story 2 went looking for a story that Woody could own in the celebrated sequel, they settled on thickening the plot by making Woody the former star of a 1950s-era television variety show. In the wake of the film's success, Disneyland launched an immensely popular variety show spinoff featuring some of the music on Woody's Original Roundup. Subtitled A Rootin'-Tootin' Collection of Woody's Favorite Songs, this imaginary soundtrack to a fictional TV show is spiritedly played by cowboy band Riders in the Sky. The songs are compact ditties that kids will fall in love with--especially the title track, the darling "Jessie, the Yodelin' Cowgirl," and the hit "You've Got a Friend in Me." Without much fanfare, this hoedown has leapt to the front of the pack as one of the year's best children's music releases. --Andrew Bartlett

My daughter loves to listent to it while walking on the treadmill. It keeps her happy and occupied. Not ALL music can do that!

Old Time Western fun!.......2006-02-24

My kids love to dance and sing to these songs wearing cowboy hats and guitars. It makes them feel like they are part of Woody's Gang themselves.

yyyyeeeehhawwwww!!!!!.......2005-08-20

its the best cd my dad ever bought me
cant get enough toy story

Fun for kids and adults!.......2003-03-29

I bought this CD strictly based upon other people's reviews, as I had never heard Riders in the Sky before. My kids (ages 2 1/2, 4 and 5 1/2) ask for this CD often---especially my youngest! The CD is peppy and fun and enjoyable to listen to--even after the 50th time. If your kids like TOY STORY 2, then chances are very good that they will enjoy this CD as well. Even my husband enjoys this CD and he often balks at "kids music" that isn't familiar.

Customer Reviews:

The picture.......2006-12-11

I haven't purchased the CD but the picture of the inside of a church on the cover is not of a British church, like one would assume since it says its a recording of British choirs. This picture is of Notre Dame Basilica in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Just thought i'd let you know. I'll be honest; I'm one to judge things by it's cover and if the company took such care to choose a 'British' church for their British choir CD, I'm willing to bet the music is equally well selected... I'm being sarcastic. But I gave the product 5 stars because I didn't want to hurt its ratings just because i'm cynical. But check out the church if you're ever in Montreal, it's truly beautiful... here I'm not being sarcastic.

Good singers, but get rid of the #$@#@! crickets.......2007-05-15

I've liked Tara Maclean's singing in other albums, and the other singers were good as well, but whoever produced this album put (I think fake - it's too regular) cricket noises in several songs for 'atmosphere'(?) and it interferes with immersing yourself in the music.

wow....all i can say is wow.......2007-01-11

excellent recording......i have been to prague twice and it is my favorite place on earth......the recording made me feel like i was there again.....

Dvorak in bits and pieces, but beautifully done.......2006-03-21

I can't deny that the BSO lost its luster under Ozawa's sadly protracted tenure in Boston, but you'd never know it from the glowing performances here--the opening Carnival Over. is a knockout. Orchestra nad soloist Itzhak Perlman are equally lovely in the F minor Violin Romance. There's only one other items here longer than 6 min., the 9-min. choral setting of Psalm 149.

I don't find bits-and-pieces collecitons very appealing, but this is a buoyant, heartfelt concert form beginning to end, featuring a dab of chamber music, an aria, two Salvonic dances, etc. Apparently there's an accompanying video of this celebration from Prauge in 1993, which accounts for why major artists like Frederica von Stade and Yo-Yo Ma were willing to appear for four min. If you are in a celebratory mood and don't mind the absence of a major work, it would be hard to better this joyous evening.

Dvoral in Prague - a true celebration!.......2005-10-18

No word can express the genius of this bunch of musicians - and with Ozawa it is pure delight. A must from Prague, 1993.

Richard Says "Frederica I'm In Love With You".......2004-04-10

Wow,,Frederica's performance is astounding!
Nobody, will ever top "The Song To The Moon"
I will cherish that recording forever!
Prague has heard the voice of a queen!
PR forever

Great masterpiece.......2003-03-25

This is an excellent Cd recorded in Prague, it's an hommage to Antonin Dvórak with an excellent interpretation of segments of the most important masterpieces composed by this Czech artist, the recording is excellent, if you are some audiophile this recording sounds great with excellent soundstage and acoustic atmosphere, also if you like Czech culture you will be surrounded by a feeling like if you were in Prague walking through Malá Strana, St.Wenceslao Square or Karl's bridge. I recommend this Cd very much.

The Cloud.......2007-02-26

This is my first encounter hearing Bill Douglas. The song The Cloud is especially moving, haunting, and relaxing at the same time. It is especially fitting when i sit outside in the evening the moon and the stars gracing the desert sky and suddenly as i listen to The Cloud, one gently drifts by, acknowledging this beautiful song.

Peaceful.......2006-08-30

As always with Bill Douglas, these selections are beautifully orchestrated. We enjoy the choral segements intertwined with the instrumental pieces. We play them in the evenings while we read. Friends always comment on how wonderful they are

Transporting, timeless music and poetry.......2006-01-12

My wife and I had the tv tuned to the "New Age" station on the satellite a few months ago while working around the house, and I just heard a bar or two of "Clouds," #2 on this cd, and it stopped me dead in my tracks. It felt like a feather was tickling my soul from a place so far away, and I knew it immediately as a new enchantment and love affair. I resisted for a good month, but every once in a great while I'd hear a part of another song, such as "Wind of the Western Sea," #8 on this same cd, and it had the same powerful but incredibly delicate effect. This is music that takes you apart and puts you back together again, as all great art should, in a better way than you were before. I'm just fascinated with how it all begins, like a master safecracker finally hearing the last tumbler fall out. So far away and yet so close, the "weak force" in physics that holds it all together.

The poems are all classics by the great poets of old -- Shakespeare, Keats, Blake, Burns, Yeats, Dickinson -- and they are sung so clearly, with such moving musical interludes and accompaniment. I'm not a critic and so don't have too many words to describe the beauty here. I also bought Douglas' Deep Peace cd at the same time and it's the same format, poems sung by the Ars Nova Singers to Douglas' musical arrangements. I love both of them.

Nice- also listen to Genie's WHISPER.......2002-06-13

Bill is great. Also check out my favorite relaxing artist, Genie. My fave is WHISPER.

wonderful album.......2001-04-17

Soothing blend of insturmental and vocal harmonies. Half choral and half instrumental pieces. Listen to Feast and My love is like a red red rose for a good example of the album as a whole. Not one bad song on the entire cd! My favorite Bill Douglas album. Well worth your time and money!

Best Comprehensive Survey of Canadian Music Available.......1999-01-19

This anthology of three Centuries(!) of Canadian music was assembled by a former producer from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation who now works for Naxos Canada. This producer is also active in the Canadian music world, so he knows whereof he speaks (or selects, as in this case). Liscensing the best performances available from major Canadian and International labels, this is the best collection of, and introudction to, the entire Canadian music scene that I have ever come across. The booklet is informative and is as enjoyable a read as is the 2 CD set is to listen. I doubt there will ever be anything quite like it again. If only NAXOS would now start recording Canadian music on top of the Canadian artists they already record, than they will truly have one of the finest and most comprehensive classical catalogues in the world. As for now, don't pass this one up.

You know those moments in life that you'll always remember where you were and what you were doing? The day I first heard "Earth & Sky" is one of those days for me. I was spellbound from start to finish. If you love masterful songwriting, get this cd! If you love great song-enhancing arrangements, get this cd. If you love performances from the heart, get this cd. If you love great music, get this cd.

I agree with the others that "Maple's Lament" is just one of the most unique and greatest songs ever. Singing along w/the soulful harmonies of "Haven of Mercy" is an absolutely religious experience, likewise w/"Hills of Home". And what a gift Lewis gives to the world in sharing the insights of her dying grandmother in "I Saw the Light".

Thanks, Laurie!

"The Maple's Lament" makes the album.......2006-05-03

This album offers good, quality bluegrass from start to finish. Laurie Lewis writes and sings from the heart, without excessive embellishment. Her voice is suitable to the music, and her arrangements and instrumentation are mainly free from gimmicks. Like life, her work speaks for itself. On the whole, I would give this four stars, but for the presence of a masterpiece on this album.

What makes the album special is "The Maple's Lament." This song is the saddest piece of existentialism I have ever heard. Accompanied by the mournful wail of a solo violin (being played on two strings), the singer tells the tale of the maple tree, its memories and its days in the sun. I won't ruin the surprise any further for anyone who may not guess the point. The solo violin is beautifully played.

Just buy it.......2005-08-24

I had not heard of Laurie Lewis until I heard her on satellite radio playing "The Maples Lament" from the CD. I'm a great fan of such music and bought the album based on that single song. Wow! This has become the CD I listen to most. All I can say is buy it you won't be disappointed.

Singer, songwriter, fiddler extraordinaire!.......2000-09-23

Other Laurie Lewis albums allow you to enjoy her remarkable affinity for Bill Monroe and other bluegrass classics. On this album, her own songs are showcased, and it is an incredible collection. There is some awesomely serious songwriting talent on display here -- every song is full of heart, intelligence, informed by eyes that seem to see a lot more of both human nature and the natural world than most others manage to notice. Lewis's albums are always notable for their excellent song selection, and this album helps us understand why: what she herself writes is unfailingly beautiful, intelligent, and musically top-notch.

And it would be remiss of me not to comment on her incredible vocals. She effectively uses her voice as a complex, rich instrument, and it sounds better and better with every release. Her mastery and control of her voice just seem to be on an ever-upward curve. At some points in her songs, I listen to what her voice does just within the space of a single word, and I'm amazed.

Whether it's Lewis's vibrant fiddling matched to the great story of "The Bear Song," the plaintive "Love Chooses You" (with incredible resonator guitar backup by Jerry Douglas) or the norteno/swing-inflected "Texas Bluebonnets," this is a collection you shouldn't miss. It will be one of your favorites right out of the box, then will grow on you even more with every hearing.
