Reflecting a lifetime of experience, Terry Callier squeezes every ounce of emotion from his world-weary voice. Born in Chicago, Callier recorded several albums during the 1960s and was an integral part of both the soul and folk movements of that time. Returning to music in the late 1990s after a decade-long hiatus, Callier's evocative artistry is as strong as ever. LifeTime, his follow-up to the 1997 comeback TimePeace, finds him accompanied by accomplished Chicago sidemen like bassist Eric Hochberg and drummer Paul Wertico. The singer-songwriter displays a true elegance, crooning through a dozen original compositions; he even performs a duet with electro-folk chanteuse Beth Orton. On the spellbinding "Where a Lark Is Singing," Callier's heartfelt and delicate voice is accompanied only by bassist Hochberg, while other arrangements expand to include organ, tenor sax, chorus, and percussion. Moods range from stirring to smooth to sedate, but it's all a part of Callier's expressive, inimitable brand of jazz-folk. --Mitch Myers

5 out of 5 stars The man sho is funky.......2007-07-18

Once in a Lifetime is a great album. I would definitely recommend this for any Marvin Gaye afficionado or even if you are looking for some funk/soul. The original versions of the songs (Disc 2) are pretty good, but aren't as bass driven as the first cd, since Frank Blair and Motown Records changed up the album and the latter half of the 2nd cd are songs from lover man so they are the same, but have different titles and the sound quality isn't as good. Anyways an excellent cd by one of the greatest musicians ever.

5 out of 5 stars Marvin Is The Man!!!.......2007-07-17

How this Lp was a bust in 1981 is a mystery. Probably poorly promoted as a result of MG's own bad-mouthing of everything Motown,this music easily stands next to What's Going On as one of his masterpieces. Hip-O-Select has done an incredible job by releasing all of the various takes and mixes so you can hear what was intended by MG or make up your own version!!! If you are a MG fan this is a MUST OWN!!!

4 out of 5 stars A great album indeed!.......2007-07-17

I'll keep it simple, Marvin Gaye is on of the best artist to have emerged in the modern twentieth century. I am and will always be a fan.

5 out of 5 stars Never thought i would see this.......2007-07-03

This has to be one of my favorite lp's by Marvin and to think it now out in the Love Man Expanded Edition.Disc 2 is the favorite with me because of the different mix of the lp that was done in September of 1980.The released mix was done 2 months later.Heavy Love Affair which is the best song on the lp is a full minute longer and this version is alot looser sounding.The Love Man lp is a joy as most of the songs are reworked in to the song that would later become the In Our Lifetime lp.All n' all this is a must have package for one of the most overlooked lps in Marvins catalog.

5 out of 5 stars Funk Me, Funk Me, Funk Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-06-29

About time! It is here! I have been waiting for a long time (17 years to be exact) to get my hands on this album! I purchased this set and man! This dude had some good tracks that were going to blow out parties. I love the album versions of Ego Trippin Out! (I always had a lot like diamonds and a yacht, check out this here 450SLC baby!)Funk me is different on the love man album. Funk Me, Funk Me, Funk Me is slower and has a different rhythm and beat. But the song is jamming!Funk me, Funk me BABY! I was lead to believe that Funk Me, Funk Me, Funk Me was exactly like the in our lifetime version. (It's not) He says in a verse on Dance N' Be Happy(Cold Blooded lovers, waiting for the night. Exploring my treasures you got me so uptight, your(Janis) the fault that I'm feeling all insane, once we were happy then the devil came ooh baby, ooh baby. First you make believe your mine. Ooh baby, ooh baby then you make me feel like dying. Oooh ooh.
It is cool to hear the alternate versions of the songs from in our lifetime. It allows me to see deeper into his mind at that time. Some of the songs are directed at Janis on this album. He was in pain and he had a hard time letting go. Now these tracks would have made it big in the disco back then. Good music from an untouchable artist! He says in the song A Lover's Plea (if God can forgive me then why can't you? (Janis)). Over all, this is a worth the money set! Beautiful music which has now seen the light of day! Love Man!

4 out of 5 stars Great place to start and then some.......2007-06-09

I've had this CD for quite a while and moved on to the individual albums so thought it would be interesting to look at it again now that I've gotten further into Marty's fabulous array of records. This collection still holds up really well and is totally worth every dime. There are defintely holes in it but the good news is it's a case of getting a lot of satisfaction finding out what else he did. I can't think of a "country" singer with a more soulful voice let alone his other talents. Marty was the man. After getting this collection I'd go right into "Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs" to start to delve further.

4 out of 5 stars Marty Robbins life time of songs.......2007-01-06

Great CD, all the favorites on one CD. There doesn't seem to be any more of the good old recording artist out there any more, only hip -hop country. I have always liked Marty Robbins, Chet Atkins and the likes of these type of singers.

5 out of 5 stars Good place to start.......2005-11-30

I wanted to listen to Marty Robbins. Always liked the song Singing the blues and knew El Paso. This is a great start to Marty Robbins but diffently not the last cd i'll be purchasing from him.

4 out of 5 stars Nothing Bad Here But Not All You Need.......2004-11-30

This is actually a lesser version of "The Essential Marty Robbins - 1951-1982" and while most of the songs are easy to listen to when served up by Marty, if you can get the above-named compilation, you will THEN have all you need (unless you require a lot of his Western album cuts, a treat in themselves). His early 50s songs were just typical blah old-time country for the most part but even with the traditional hillbilly orchestration, Marty made "I Couldn't Keep From Crying" special and an omen of what was to come. "That's All Right, Mama" (on both albums) is just a cover of Elvis Presley's regional hit before he went on to national success and is nothing special. As always, there's plenty to like here. It just could have been better.

5 out of 5 stars a wonderful collection.......2004-03-20

Marty Robbins had so many hits through the years that even this impressive showing isn't complete. i don't know if this is a record-setting feat or not, but Marty had 37 consecutive Top-40 hits from 1953-1965...the single that broke the string was "Old Red" in 1965, it charted one week at #50. i love nearly all the songs on this album, the only one i didn't like as much is "Tomorrow You'll Be Gone". all of his big hits are on here and the only ones that were popular with his audience that they left off were: "Begging To You"; "Mr. Shorty"; "Cigarettes and Coffee Blues"; and "The Cowboy in the Continental Suit". incidentally, "Begging To You" was a 3 week #1 country hit and a #74 pop hit too so why it was left off i have no clue. Marty was one of country music's first pop cross-over acts. from 1956-1964 he constantly had singles on the country and pop singles charts. 11 of his pop cross-overs hit the Top-40, which in those days was unheard of for a country act to chart so high. All in all, this is a great look at Marty Robbins. one of my favorites is the last song, "Some Memories Just Won't Die". i love that arrangement and his performance shows that he still had it...even months before his death in December 1982 {that song was his last Top-10 in his lifetime; his final Top-10 came after his death, the early 1983 "Honkytonk Man"; not to be confused with the same titled hit by Johnny Horton and the remake later by Dwight Yoakam}.

From Amazon.co.uk

In an earlier age, when the likes of Public Enemy and Gang Starr ruled the roost, Jay-Z would have garnered the same kind of serious attention and respect as, say, the Fresh Prince. But in the devalued hip-hop universe of the late 1990s--where political activism is irrelevant, and entrepreneurial mediocrities like Puff Daddy and Master P hold sway--it's tempting to hail him as a conquering hero. Tempting, but mistaken. For one thing, he lacks the pipes to be considered among the truly great MCs (Chuck D, Guru, Ice Cube, Method Man). For another, his rhymes--both structurally and in terms of subject-matter--are way too simplistic. Rather than draw any conclusions from his world, or postulate any form of action, Jay simply calls 'em like he sees 'em--a post-Biggie dialectic of thinly-veiled threats ("Friend or Foe '98", "Face Off") and dreary self-aggrandisment ("I Know What Girls Like", "City Is Mine"). Hang on, didn't this used to be known as whack? --Andrew McGuire

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Underrated!!!.......2007-03-24

This is Jay-z's must underreated album! Everyone was not feeling this album, but the were just not understanding the content! Besides two dumb tracks (One featuring Puff Daddy, the artist killer), the rest of the songs are pretty solid when it comes to lyrics. You have to remeber that at the time he recording, Biggie just died and that took a toll. Also, He was preparing to retire after this album and have Memphis Bleek become the star of Rocafella. Basically, this album is one of his best!!!!

4 out of 5 stars A life time of work.......2006-12-05

Out of all the albums that Jay has put out this is believed to be the weakest of them all. At first I belived so myself, however; after close listening I realized that this album is one of the most intimate albums Jay has ever done till now. Tracks like "You must love Me," and others shows Jay's ability to tell stories, and show his battle within. However, some of the tracks leave me hanging. Because Jay is and Nas, Tupac, and Biggie are the few Rappers I hate to hear other people on songs with them. These could and can carry albums by themselves. This for me is the only flaw in this album.

4 out of 5 stars See It For What It Is.......2006-10-12

In My Lifetime vol.1 is one of Jay z's most underrated albums and it's rightful place is next to Reasonable Doubt where it belongs. If you ask me the last few albums Jay Z gets most of his love from a nice chunk fans and critics because he is a master at creating great hooks and picking major production that will sell records. On his first two releases Reasonable Doubt and this one he is a major lyricist and this is what he doesn't get recognized for in this album. Truthfully lyrically it's between this and his first album that are the best. Now the production in My Lifetime is up and down, he has a sick intro and then the city is mine plays and it's a bit off. Though I think this is one of his least commercial albums Sunshine featuring Babyface says something totally different. The best thing about this album is that Jay actually speaks on his life and times and he does it perfectly, only thing holding it back is the few crappy beats.

4 out of 5 stars He's getting better.......2006-10-10

I know, I know, I know. Jay-Z's Resonable Doubt is Jay's greatest album (so some think). But In my life time vol 1 is just as strong lyrically..Although it may have "pop" hits as Sunshine, this demonstrates his ability to not just do street stuff, but also his ablity to songwrite. This album begins his maturation as a great songwriter..there are a lot of great emcees, but they are not always good song writers (ei eminem). This album is just a continuation from Reasonable Doubt. (Just as RD is a continuation of the original "In My Lifetime"). The top songs on here are; A million, Imaginary Players, Sunshine, Friend or Foe 98, Who You Wit, Real Niggas, Where I'm From, You Must Love Me. Any Jay-Z Fan should have this.The only reason it did not get 5 stars is because of suspect production.

4 out of 5 stars Not that bad, better than Blueprint 2- Gift & Curse.......2006-09-18

Many people view this as either his worst album or next to worse, mainly because it doesn't live up to Reasonable Doubt and many view this as when he sold out to commercial rap. However I think this album is probably better all of his latter albums except for the Blueprint & Black Album. It may not even be as commercial as Hard Knock Life. The album is pretty good and I know this might be blasphemous but I like the Bad boy produced tracks like Sunshine and I Know What Girls Like. They are unique, plus Jay-Z has always turned corny, odd beats into pure gold( Hard Knock Life??/ Annie anyone??) I just think Jay was trying to show that he had taken Biggie's place by hooking up with Bad Boy. Overall this album is probably in Jay-Z's top five albums.

1. Intro/ Million and One/ Rhyme no More 7/10
2. City is Mine 8/10
3. I Know What Girls Like 7/10 ( Corny but catchy)
4. Imaginary Players 9/10

6. Friend or Foe '98 9/10

If you are a fan of Anthony Newley you will find this superb C.D. a welcome addition to your collection. It is easy to understand why this musical is considered Newley's finest. In addition to playing the lead role, he wrote, directed and composed many memorable pieces of music including "What Kind of Fool Am I", "Once I In a Lifetime", "Gonna Build a Mountain", and many, many more. His genious is well defined in this piece, it's a joy.

4 out of 5 stars a classic score of the 60's.......2005-04-27

STOP THE WORLD - I WANT TO GET OFF is one of the most fascinating musical theatre scores of the 1960s, the `new-style musical' was written by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley and was largely tailored to Newley's vocal style.

Rarely has the score been bettered than on the original Broadway cast album, crisply reissued here on the Decca Broadway label. Anthony Newley and his pert leading lady, underrated British performer Anna Quayle, perform the score with flash and verve. The entire score is fantastic though the penultimate number "Someone Nice Like You" must count as one of the most beautiful love songs ever written for the musical stage.

Anna Quayle is a marvellous performer, sadly only really remembered for her role as the Baroness in the movie of CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG (a role that is great but does not represent all she was capable of), and Anthony Newley, who also headed the London company to perhaps ever greater acclaim, is in his element.

A top cast album.

5 out of 5 stars Great musical with great classic songs.......2003-07-13

This Bricusse-Newley musical is still fresh today. Some of the songs are classic. They include "What Kind of Fool am I" and "Once in a Lifetime". Newley's voice and vocal range was at its height when this album was recorded. If you like the music in this show then you will also like the music from "Roar of the Greasepaint, Smell of the Crowd".

5 out of 5 stars NOT ALONE ANYMORE.......2002-10-03

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO LIKE HIM, SILLY ME . THIS WAS MY SECOND ALBUM I BOUGHT OF HIS ,IN A LONG LIST . NEWLEY'S STRONG VOICE AND PERSONALITY ARE THE VERY BEST.

YOU CAN ALMOST SEE THAT VERY EXPESSIVE FACE OF HIS, IT WA SA SHAME HIS PERFORMANCE WAS NOT CAPTURED ON FILM, STILL EVEN WITH OUT SEEING HIM. THE BLENDING OF SONG AND STORY ARE TIME LESS, THAT IT COULD BE ON BROADWAY TODAY WITHOUT BEING DATED.

THE STORY OF LITTLE CHAP AND EVIE , COULD BE ANY ONE OF US GOING THROUGH LIFE'S UP AND DOWNS.

5 out of 5 stars Anthony Newley's Finest Hours!.......2002-09-25

To say that 'Stop the World' was a revolutionary musical in the days of sugar and spice, nicey-nicey musicals would be an understatement. To suggest that Anthony Newley was one of the finest singer-songwriter-performers of our time would be like saying the Pope is Catholic. To say that Decca has done us all a favour by finally reissuing this tuneful cast recording on CD would however be ACCURATE!
Anthony Newley died in April 1999 after losing his battle with cancer. The battle of fame he never lost and left behind a wonderful collection of musicals, songs, tv and cabaret performances that we can love again and again. But the finest of all of Newley's output was this musical. Co-wrote with Leslie Bricusse, Anthony Newley made the role of Littlechap totally his own. Not even Sammy Davis Jnr, Joel Gray or Tony Tanner in the film version could match that unique quality of style and originality that Newley exudes in this fantastic tour de force role.
For fans of musicals unfamiliar with Newley's work, you will not be sorry when you buy this CD. For Newley fans - why haven't you already bought your copy!!
Enjoy, one and all, Anthony Newley at his very best.

5 out of 5 stars Way ahead of its time........2007-07-31

Faith No More wasn't really that successful when this album came out but then a few years later you had bands like System of a Down Incubus (maybe even Papa Roach) using the FNM formula from this period of time as a blueprint for their own success.

Incubus keeps remaking this album in particular over and over and over again with their every release. Brandon Boyd wants to be old school Mike Patton so bad he can taste it.

5 out of 5 stars Great follow up to a great album.......2006-10-31

My experience with FNM was the first album with Mike Patton leading (who was not the original vocalist) was good, but the second album Angel Dust for me took them to an all new level. Very risky in a lot of ways, but brilliantly diverse and very well played with a lot of the styles of song on that record being replicated by many bands in the future.

However King for a day... did about as much in terms of progression from Angel dust as they did from The Real Thing. What they created was another journey through different sort of types of song and sounds.

From the more commercial friendly stuff like "Ricochet" and "evidence", there is a lot of stuff which is reasonably accessable (ie not as far out as the Other Mike Patton venture Mr. Bungle) but pretty different right through, they have a wonderful ability on this record to give the sounds - eg the guitar and the voice a lot of chance to shine through. And the voice on this record for me puts Mike Patton as my favorite Vocalist - already on Angel Dust he did some great work but in this one there are a lot of incredible highlights - worth it for his performance alone.

My favorite tracks on it are the rocking "Digging the Grave", "King for a day" with it's great use of the Acoustic Guitar sound which is quite refreshing but the clear highlight (which is probably not for everyone) is the Awesome slower track at the end "Just a man" with a stunning vocal performance from Patton and a sensational build up through the song using a gospel sounding chorus.

It's not a consistent album through but I think that's a lot of it's charm.

5 out of 5 stars My Favorite Album.......2006-05-07

This is one of my top 2 favorite albums of all time! (along with Incubus' SCIENCE). This cd is so ahead of its time, it came out on '95, way before the new Nu-Metal are came and went. This is album is eclectic it's got all types of music in here. To people who like
many different types of music. BUY NOW! Ps. Mike Patton is amazing!

5 out of 5 stars Schizo and Diverse - Another FNM Classic.......2006-04-30

King for a Day is their most diverse and my favorite FNM album. Mike Patton is in top form with his wackyness and his vocal range. They venture from death metal, jazz, swing, latin, country, R&B, grunge, funk, basically just about any genre you can think of. Maybe this album is not quite as consistent as Angel Dust, but it is even more diverse, more wacky, and make more radical departures. The best cut here and perhaps their best song ever Evidence combines Smooth jazz, R&B, and funk. Evidence is simply one of the best songs I have ever heard. I absolutely love the death metal screaming. I can always get a good laugh every time, even if I am down. King for a Day is simply too creative for its own good. If you want creative and adventurous music you don't need to look any further. King for a Day is pure bliss!

5 out of 5 stars YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.......2006-04-01

For most people this section is purely self gratification. This is because Faith no More is so solid that there's almost no dissent to the statements of admiration.

This album is just one of 4 incredible albums by the band (I don't count the "pre-Patton" album).
One thing to note is that this is post-Jim Martin. I have come to teerms with this, but its hard not thinking about what could have been with Jim. But thats no statement of dissatisfaction with this album. Nothing could keep such an elite remaining group (plus Bungle guitarist) from making a great album. This is some of Patton's best work and one of only 4 undeservingly great FNM albums. There's only one FNM. Can't say that too confidently for most bands these days.

From the first second of the album its abrasive and testing. This album is truly a test in flexibility. It would still be considered original today.

What else.....We're better than the rest of the music world....thats about it.

The three-CD box set In My Lifetime marks the first time songs from all phases (and all labels) of Neil Diamond's career have been gathered in one place. The 71 tracks include 5 unreleased songwriting demos from 1958-64, 3 flop singles from 1960-63 on Duel and Columbia, 11 of the Bang sides, 14 Uni cuts, 25 samples from the Columbia years, his contribution to "The Last Waltz," 11 unreleased outtakes, 1 new song, and a live version of the first song he ever wrote. It's all arranged chronologically to tell the story of his career from aspiring Brill Building songwriter to less interesting adult-contemporary superstar. --Geoffrey Himes

5 out of 5 stars Diamond box set has lots of gems for little money........2007-06-28

Well, I finally got old enough to let myself buy and listen to whatever I want whether or not it's considered "cool". I rememberd I always enjoyed the earlier Neil Diamond classics when I heard them on the radio years ago, and then I wondered why I never actually bought any of his music.

Some may think that this guy is corny, but let's face it, he's got a great voice and he wrote some classics, and the arrangements are often excellent too, so why not load up on Neil Diamond at this price? Anyway, I looked at all the options, the greatest hits CDs and various compilations, and I settled on this one.

I must say it's great to hear these old classics without the DJ talk over the beginning and the end, and on a high quality sound system. It's also great to hear some of his not so well knows stuff thrown in there too. It's plenty listenable, but I won't get sick of it quite as much as if it was just the "favorites" one after another. Great stuff!

3 out of 5 stars Good compilation, but one big mistake..........2007-01-27

..Neil Diamond obnoxiously assumed we would be entertained/intrigued/touched by letting his little kids be present on a few songs. It killed the CD set for me. I have copied the best songs and sold it already. Very disappointing. Otherwise he was great and his songs bring back alot of memories from the '70s.

3 out of 5 stars A great album.......2006-08-13

I got this as a gift for my husband. It was just the right thing for a Neil Diamond fan. We enjoyed listening to his songs through the years, recalling our own past as we listened. Some of the songs would probably not have been heard except on this album and that made it even better.



5 out of 5 stars Not just another compilation.......2005-07-17

I love this set and have fallen in love with Neil Diamond all over again. It has all the favorites but the best part for me was hearing a lot of music that was previously unissued. It was really neat to hear some of his early demos, and there are a lot of undiscovered treasures on all the discs, 16 unreleased tracks in all. I like also that this set was a personal collaboration with Neil Diamond and not just the usual compilation that someone put together. He spent a lot of time listening again to his early work and choosing music for this project, and there is a nice booklet that comes with the CD that gives his comments track by track. He also shares some personal thoughts about his career and there are lots of pictures throughout his lifetime.
You really can't go wrong with this one. It is the best of the best.

4 out of 5 stars Neil Diamond Gets the Royal Box-Treatment He Deserves.......2004-09-13

I can't say that I'm a huge Neil Diamond fan (I don't have a single album of his, in fact). But when I recently heard "Cracklin' Rose" and "Sweet Caroline" back-to-back on the radio, I realized the man has some truly great songs, which eventually lead me to this collection.

"In My Lifetime" (71 tracks, 227 min.) is thankfully organized chronolgically, so that one can follow and understand the musical evolution of Neil Diamond. Not surprisingly CD1 is the most interesting of the collection, with the early demos and songs, near-hits and finally, hits. Be aware, 20 of the 27 tracks on CD1 are in mono. If CD1 is the most interesting, then CD2 is the "greatest hits" of the greatest hits. Blockbuster song after blockbuster song rolls along. Fascinating is "Dry Your Eyes", Neil's contribution to "The Last Waltz" farewell concert of the Band. You didn't know that Neil was part of that show? Me neither. Included also is a 5 song suite from the "Jonathan Livingstone Seagul" concept album, wich I owned and loved in the good ol' vinyl days. CD3 starts with the hits from "The Jazz Singer" remake (America, Love on the Rocks, Hello Again), and coast along following the lines of "Heartlight", which is admittedly not my favorite Diamond stuff.

If there is one surprise in this collection, it's that there is nothing in here from either the original and very successful "Hot August Night" live album, which I believe is Neil's biggest selling album ever, or any other of his live albums such as Live at the Greek and HAN 2. That aside, this collection gives the proper due to a truly gifted singer-songwriter.

5 out of 5 stars Once in a lifetime!!! 2 of the late great drummer's albums on 1 CD!!! What a great 77 minute spin!!!.......2007-03-18

This is a great 2-fer by "The Tony Willims Lifetime" Includes BOTH "Believe It' and Million Dollar Legs" on one shiny DVD!!! Awesome playing from the late Tony Wiiliams(His drumming techinique was incredible!),Allan Holdsworth(kudos for his guitar palying!),and the rest of the band is awesome too!!! A great 77 minute spin!!! Two thumbs up!!! Five stars!!! A+

5 out of 5 stars Fierce........2006-10-29

Brilliant first six songs. Forget the rest, I read where Tony said it was made at the record company behest and under corporate duress to make them be more commercial and add the singing.

Every Jazz drummer or "Holdsworth fan" or "Fusion-head" should own this excellent CD. Tony's playing is mind-blowing, fiery and passionate and yet avant-garde in many ways, and Holdsworth as always, soars high above this great music with wonderful references to Django Reinhardt, Charlie Christian and Coltrane...intense and a real classic that you'd be dumb not to own.

4 out of 5 stars Holdsworth Williams Combined.......2006-10-10

The CD combines 2 great LPs for Tony Williams. "Believe it" and "Million Dollar legs".
Key musician with Williams is Guitarist Allan Holdsworth, whose style falls between Rock and Jazz and sometimes using his guitar as a keyboard; vocals, background brass and strings are also added in some of the songs. Although I would not call this CD as the perfect one, it is very much worth exploring by all fusion collectors and anyone interested in Holdsworth and Williams work; not to mention that this CD has a good value since it is 2 LPs combined.
Personally this CD is among my preferred ones in my fusion collection.
If you like this CD, then I can recommend: Brian Auger in the title called "Second Wind".

5 out of 5 stars Great Disc!.......2006-08-20

I remember that I had the Lifetime on cassette 20 years ago and never grew tired of it. I have always been a big Holdsworth fan and he really shines on this stuff. The second half of the cd I had not heard before and was disapointed that it had taken me so long to discover these tracks. Fantastic stuff

A must if you are a fan of either Tony Williams or Alan Holdsworth

4 out of 5 stars More deserving of credit than even its admirers give to it.......2006-01-09

Taking issue with many of the reviewers, the second half of this double album collection, Million Dollar Legs, is far from a complete waste. True, "You Did It To Me Baby", is an out of place rocker. But, "Sweet Revenge" is as appealing a melody, guitar workout for Holdsworth, and drumming display for Williams, as anything else found on the CD. "Million Dollar Legs", "Lady Jane" and "Inspirations of Love" all make the "second side" well worth the listen, and the entire CD a winner.

Recorded live at the Grand Ole Opry House in spring 2005, this double-disc set is in essence the companion to Wynonna's new autobiography, Coming Home to Myself, in that it canvasses her 20 years of recording, both as half of the Judds and on her own. While only the most rabid Judds fans will quibble about the absence of mother Naomi (other harmonizers take up the slack), some of the more important Judds hits (e.g., "Why Not Me") go missing in favor of obscure offerings or covers. As always in concert, Wynonna's impassioned vocals are so robust and powerful as to seem a force of nature (take cover, Three Little Pigs!), and she can imbue a sentimental song like Dave Loggins's "She Is His Only Need" with enough grit and gravity to make it dig deep down in the bones. Unfortunately, she infuses her between-song prattle with history lessons on her musical journey, which wear thin on repeated listenings, despite some deeply vulnerable confessions and good-natured humor. ("I'm trying to get back to my original weight: 8 pounds, 15 ounces.") She also fails to capture the frenetic randiness of Melissa Etheridge's "I'm the Only One," and though a serious student of Elvis, her excursions into Presleyana ("Burnin' Love," "Sometimes I Feel Like Elvis") seem more like parody than anything else. Worse, the bonus studio track, "Attitude," just sort of floats on by. On the upside, several songs rock harder and bluesier here than in their original versions, especially Mama Judd's blistering "That Was Yesterday," and "No One Else on Earth," which pushes its Bonnie Raitt-ish funk to the max. Bottom line: Mixed bag of material, but Wy's Ferrari of a voice will keep you glued to the speakers throughout. --Alanna Nash

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A must-hear!.......2007-05-20

The only problem I have had with this album is that I can't seem to stop listening to the first CD long enough to hear the second one, but I have no doubt the second half is as good as the first. All my old favorites are on here and it is so neat to hear her in concert and interacting with the fans. She is clearly a top notch performer. This is a must have for any Wynonna fan, and even if you are not yet a fan this will make you one!

5 out of 5 stars A great compilation!.......2007-02-26

Very enjoyable CD. Great songs and stories by Wynonna. The 2nd CD is Wynonna singing many great songs by other artists.

5 out of 5 stars Great stories, told through music.......2006-12-07

I always enjoy Wynonna's music, this Cd is wonderful to listen to, it tells her story through music which is enjoyable.

5 out of 5 stars Gotta Love It.......2006-03-11

As an avid country music fan, this cd is now at the top of my list of cds to listen to at home and in the car.

5 out of 5 stars Priceless.......2006-03-06

I believe that if you learn one from a book, it is worth what you paid for it. I have learned several things from this book. so to me, it is priceless.

5 out of 5 stars Ray Boltz' Finest Performance!!.......2007-03-09

The Concert Of A Lifetime is exactly that for Ray Boltz! This contemporary Christian performer brings his faith to each and every song in the concert! His inspiring lyrics move you as you hear "The Anchor Holds", or his most famous song "I Pledge Allegiance To The Lamb". But
you will be truly touched by such songs as "What If I Give All?" and
brought to your knees in spirit filled praise as you hear "Watch The Lamb". This is truly "The Concert Of A Lifetime" and besides owning this great CD, I had the immense pleasure of seeing Ray Boltz LIVE as he brought this performance on tour throughout the United States. Many were saved that night, and I'm sure many more will be simply by hearing this music and its inspired words!

5 out of 5 stars The Best of the Best.......2007-02-22

Wonderful CD. Ray Boltz has been blessed with great talent. He is using this gift to Honor and glorify God. Very touching and uplifting music, that will make your heart glad!!

5 out of 5 stars The Concert of Lifetime.......2006-11-09

The title "The Concert of A Lifetime" does not lie. This is truly a remarkable CD. I especially like the song "One Drop of Blood." It is awesome. Also, "Watch the Lamb" is wonderful!

You won't regret it if you purchase this album.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful voice - wonderful messages in song.......2006-02-24

I discovered Ray Boltz when I heard him sing "Watch the Lamb" on a Christian radio station. I immediately began looking for a CD on Amazon and ordered The Concert of a Lifetime because it had that song on it. What a blessing to find that nearly every song on this CD had just as much impact as that one. Ray Boltz tells Bible stories musically, and he tells them very well.
He has a powerful voice that lends itself to a powerful message.
This CD is wonderful!

5 out of 5 stars The Very Best CD of Christian Music.......2003-10-29

I was shocked that no one had reviewed this GREAT cd. Many cds have a few moving songs and the rest are ok. This CD is different. Almost every song, if not every song, will move you. This is great music, with passion, and storytelling, and transporting the listener to the time and place of what's going on in the song. This music reaches the soul. It reaches where we live and the words remain with you. This music makes you long to be in Jesus' presence and this cd makes one feel His presence more. The 1st song-The Anchor Holds- is worth the price of the cd. The music and the words are beautiful. This is definitely a classic in Christian music. I really can't say enough good comments about this cd and I believe it will bless anyone who listens.

Always and forever a fan of Clannad, and this is no exception. Ms. Brennan is fantastic.

1 out of 5 stars You've heard it all before........2006-06-17

Why would I write a review about a compilation CD that I could create myself within an hour from all of the past CDs I've bought from this once great group? All good things must come to an end, and this, yet another, stab at your wallet proves that the party's over. It's been nearly 10 years since the release of the wonderful, aptly named "Landmarks" CD, so it's time to move on to other Celtic bands that have left Clannad in the proverbial dust. Save your money folks, because if you're a true OLD fan...you've heard it all before.

4 out of 5 stars A must for the well rounded music collection.......2005-02-23

This is the only Clannad cd I own, but about 4 hours after chewing open the shrinkwrap and on my 4th listening of the entire cd (it arrived today in the mail), I wonder why I waited so long to find this. I had a rough day at work and listening to this cd was like sitting under a cool waterfall on a hot day (cold beer optional)

5 out of 5 stars Well...........2004-06-21

...I do agree with some previous reviews: Clannad have been releasing hundreds of "best of" compilation and that's probably enough tiring!! Stop it!
BUT....this best of worths buying it cause, to me a Clannad fan since such a long time ago, it is the best ever done. So, for those approaching Clannad for the first time it s one of the best album: furhter to that there exists a Double-set with a superb chill out Cd included!
For thoise who already know Clannad...well....hope a new album will be released! We have enough of Greatest Hits Cd and such....

1 out of 5 stars what a waste.......2004-04-10

This album bites. The brief interludes of prostituted classical music are the only redeeming qualities. What is with the irritating children's vocals?
