1 out of 5 stars Got an LP not a CD.......2007-07-30

Amazon, create a way to say an item is an LP not a CD, I thought it was a CD when I bought it and got the LP instead. So I do not recommend it just based on that, sure wish I could listen to it.

5 out of 5 stars Back Home Again - John Denver.......2007-03-29

I remember having this LP Album in the 70's and was very happy to have it on CD with some of my very favorite John Denver songs - especially the song "Matthew", which I haven't been able to find on other John Denver CD's. This music brings back lots of good memories.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful.......2007-03-09

I'd be still happy with my vinyl copy still if it weren't so scratchy in places. The remastering sounds fresh as the day it was recorded so I'm happy with the cd. It captures a wonderful period in John's career. If you're in any doubt about this one allay your fears as it's John at his country mode best. Although having said that you can't beat John's live work. That's where he really shined! You're still the greatest John!

5 out of 5 stars Great Memories!.......2007-02-25

My mom had this album on vinyl. She later bought it on cassette and she played it in the car all the time. Later I bought my own copy on tape. I wore that out during college and later bought the CD.

Every song on this album is a classic and if you are looking for an album to play while driving along on a rainy day you can stop looking right now.

You can feel the emotion poured into ever lyric. Every song is as sincere as you can get.

I love this album and I'll never be without a copy!

5 out of 5 stars Great CD.......2007-01-31

I love this album. My mom and I used to listen to it on 8-track in the late 70's and it's exactly like I remembered it. The best thing...the lyrics! I've been trying to figure out what was in Grandma's Feather Bed for 20 years.

Some artists are born to be stars; others are just born to be good. Back Home Again is Rhonda Vincent's return to pure bluegrass after a decade spent trying unsuccessfully to balance genuine artistry with the commercial requirements of contemporary country. Vincent grew up in Missouri singing and playing mandolin with her family band, the Sally Mountain Show. Her father, Johnny Vincent, shares the lead vocal on Ira Louvin's "Out of Hand" and brother Darrin Vincent (of Ricky Skaggs's Kentucky Thunder) plays bass and sings harmony. The album's centerpiece is a hard-driving cover of Dolly Parton's "Jolene" that brings out the song's implicit bluegrass flavor. Other highlights range from the traditional "Lonesome Wind Blues" to the sad country ballad "When I Close My Eyes." Home is where the art is. --Rick Mitchell

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Another Great Rhonda Vincent Album.......2007-03-06

Here is yet another fantastic album put out by the finest/ clearest voice in bluegrass today. This album is an assortment of old bluegrass standards and some truly "original" Rhonda Vincent numbers. Included are Louvin Bros. "You're Running Wild", and Ira Louvin penned "Out of Hand". There's also the great Jimmy Martin number "Pretending I dont Care". But, personally, I find the finest to be the last song on the CD, "Where No Cabins Fall"....Rhonda's vocals on this one are the finest of anything I've heard her sing. There's also a fair set of liner notes, detailing each song and providing a background for the Album itself. This one will remain in your rotation for a long time.

4 out of 5 stars Very good bluegrass cd.......2007-01-17

This is not Rhonda's best work but I still give it a full four stars. In the cd's following this one, Rhonda adds better and better musicians, arrangements, and song selections in her recordings. Her harmonies with her brother Darrin are great. Jerry Douglas plays dobro on "When I Close My Eyes" and " You Don't Know How Lucky You Are". His playing adds so much to the songs. The remake of Dolly's "Jolene" was one of the best I've heard. Not many can follow Dolly. It was very sweet to hear Rhonda's dad sing with her and her brother on "Out Of Hand". The remake of the Osbourne brothers "You're Running Wild" was one of the best songs on this cd. I've heard Rhonda and her band play "Lonesome Wind Blues" live and it sounds just like the recording. There's no studio tricks here.

5 out of 5 stars Brilliant bluegrass album.......2004-10-09

Rhonda was raised on bluegrass music and began her recording career as a bluegrass singer before trying to break into mainstream country. Although the albums (Written in the stars, Trouble free) were of a high quality, Rhonda didn't make the breakthrough she was hoping for and returned to her beloved bluegrass music with this album. The only instruments on this album are bass, guitar, mandolin, banjo, fiddle and dobro. Apart from being a wonderful singer, Rhonda is an accomplished musician and plays most of the mandolin parts on this album. In this album, Rhonda explains how each song was selected. It seems that Rhonda had been familiar with most of the songs for many years before finally getting round to recording them.

The album is generally upbeat. Even the songs with sad lyrics, such as the opening Lonesome wind blues (which Rhonda learned from a Buck White album), are performed in a bright, upbeat style - hard-driving bluegrass at its best. Pretending I don't care (a cover of a Jimmy Martin song) is another example of an upbeat performance downplaying sad lyrics. While many of the songs are up-tempo, Rhonda can sing ballads too, as she demonstrates on When I close my eyes.

Rhonda is a huge fan of Alison Krauss and Dolly Parton and they are equally huge fans of Rhonda. On this album, Rhonda pays tribute to them by covering You're in my heart and Jolene. And if you're thinking you've heard Jolene way too often, Rhonda's version breathes new life into the song, which is ideally suited to bluegrass.

There are so many great songs here. The others I didn't mention are Little angels, Passing of the train, Out of hand, You don't know how lucky you are, Keep your feet on the ground, You're running wild. All of them are brilliant. If you enjoy bluegrass music, you will surely love this music and all of Rhonda's other albums.

5 out of 5 stars The start of something big fulfilled!.......2002-10-19

Rhonda Vincent has been called the Queen of Bluegrass music and this first recording of this timely genre shows why she earned her name. It is simply startling that someone can identify so much with an idiom as Rhonda does on this first return. "Lonesome Wind Blues" will hook you immediately with her high and lonesome voice. "Keep Your Feet On The Ground" is another of those wonderful mid-tempo songs Vincent does so well. She even sings a number with her father on this CD. Glamor photo in the booklet as well as notes by Rhonda on her songs shows her to be an extremely thoughtful and glib personality. This comes with my highest recommendations!

5 out of 5 stars She rocks........2002-09-13

An absolutely outstanding traditionalist bluegrass album! Soulful, restrained picking, great vocals, and a killer song selection! What more could you ask for? After several years trying to make it as a Nashville-r, Vincent has come into the acoustic fold, and the results are quite nice. Most of all, this album nails the feeling of live-wire immediacy that made the best old bluegrass so compelling. Includes an excellent version of Dolly Parton's greatest song ("Jolene"), along with material by Wayne Raney, Jimmy Martin and the Louvin Brothers. Believe me, this is a class act.

John Denver could never smirk. It wasn't in him. And while looking back from the perspective of the jaded, cynical '90s makes Denver seem even more anachronistic, it must be admitted that he always told the truth as he saw it, no matter how awkward and painful such truths might seem. By the time of 1974's Back Home Again, Denver had written the bulk of what would be his canon. Here he delivers "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" and his earnest, cornpone imagery ensures that to most he is never taken seriously again. Denver's knack for melody, however, never abandons him and tracks like "This Old Guitar" and "Sweet Surrender" benefit from his gentle ear, no matter how simplistic his sentiments. --Rob O'Connor

5 out of 5 stars A masterpiece! If Norman Rockwell were a songwriter..........2005-06-25

These are the songs he would have written. If you've ever wondered what all the hype was about surrounding this fresh-faced, bespectacled country boy, listen to this album from beginning to end, and you will understand. One enchanting picture after another is gently painted in sound, while the spellbound listener's imagination supplies the visual elements.

The title song celebrates the comforts of home, especially after a weary journey. By way of contrast, the adventure and excitement of travel is seen through the eyes of a young boy in "On The Road." "Cool 'n Green 'n Shady" features a clarinet solo as tasty and refreshing as a big slice of watermelon on a summer afternoon. "Matthew" is a touching story of a man who "Lost his farm and lost his family / Lost the wheat and lost his home / But he found the family Bible / And faith as solid as a stone".

It comes as no surprise that several of these gems became some of John's biggest hits: "Annie's Song", "Thank God I'm A Country Boy", "This Old Guitar", "Grandma's Feather Bed." But my personal favorite is "Sweet Surrender", a ballad that ponders the journey we call life. It has a big, lonesome feel to it at first, but as it develops, it becomes increasingly hopeful and inspired, with an awareness of a spiritual presence leading the way. Orchestrator Lee Holdridge reinforces the mood, soaring to a gloriously intricate finish, with a full string ensemble and multiple harmony vocals. This album is John Denver's crowning achievement, and one of the best albums I've ever heard from anyone. Don't miss it!

5 out of 5 stars SIMPLY ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS OF ALL FREAKIN' TIME!.......2005-04-10


OH MY GOD!!! I'm almost tearing up just THINKING about this album! What can you say??? What needs to be said??? ABSOLUTELY ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS OF ALL TIME BY ANYONE!!!!

You will NEVER hear music this honest, pure, catchy, fun, and beautifully recorded. Wow.

From death metal to folk, easy listening to the Beatles, from jazz to R&B, this album stands up to ANY from ANY genre.

GET IT.


4 out of 5 stars This is what makes the legend. . ........2004-11-29

John Denver was never cool. At least, that is what those who would be cool tell us. They are wrong. John was cool because he was honest, direct and pure. His music was all his own: innocent yet worldly, simple yet complex, soaring yet grounded. BACK HOME AGAIN was one of his most commercially successful albums as he rode the crest of his popularity. It had been a slow build, but each recording and tour had been a little bigger than the last. By the time he got here, he was playing stadiums, and on this tour he played Red Rocks just outside Denver. I was there, right in the front row, glad to see that the rest of the country had caught on to what was special about him. When he came out for soundcheck early in the day, he was happy, as always, to sign autographs and shake the hands of his fans and friends. He never forgot or ignored us, which was right in tune with the man's core. And that is why BACK HOME AGAIN is a fine album and well worth adding to your library: the man was real, making music for the pure joy of it, writing songs that speak to everyone's longing for a simpler, more peaceful, better life. Certainly he had his dark moments, but the light always came through when that shining tenor wrapped around a song. Many of his big hits are on this album: "Annie's Song", "Back Home Again", "Sweet Surrender", but others such as "Cool and Green and Shady", "The Music is You" and "Grandma's Feather Bed" are fan favorites. Of course, this is the album with one of John's most personal songs: "This Old Guitar". It spells out his whole reason for living, beautifully and simply. So set aside the hype and the false images and just listen to the music. That is why he was here, and we are all richer for it. He is greatly missed.

5 out of 5 stars A timeless message...........2004-09-05

I'm only 19 years old, but I first became a fan of John Denver after I watched a VH1 Behind the Music on his life. There was something about his simple message that made me buy my first John Denver CD, after that I quickly obtained many more, this one included.

This album, "Back Home Again", is usually what I give my friends to listen to when they ask me why I'm such a big John Denver fan. Songs such as Back Home Again, This Old Guitar, Annie's Song, and Sweet Surrender are some of his staple songs, but that doesn't mean that the rest are just "fillers". This album has its greatest impact when listened to in its entirety, especially because of the fact that it ends with his classic "This Old Guitar".

It's rare when you can find songs with messages so simple and elegant that they mean just as much now as when they did when originally released, but this album does just that. I recommend it for potential and/or tried and true John Denver fans.

5 out of 5 stars Perfect, sweet, bitter-sweet.......2004-05-22

My mom had this on 8-track when I was a boy. I loved it, but didn't get the sentiment. I get it now. Some will say that JD wears simple emotions on denim sleeves.

They misunderstand, I think.

Even "Grandma's Featherbed" has that simple and sweet side, but is shaded with the gentle longing of memory. In Matthew, I get a sense of what I see in this recording - looking back and knowing something you failed to see as a youngster.

JD's emotions may be simple (inasmuch as any emotion can be simple) but we all have them. And there is nothing simple about looking backward and seeing with clear vision the good and the bad of the past or being torn about longing for it.

I think he suggests in this album and in his other works that the best we can do is to remember those things and learn from them.

Oh, I may be reading much into this recording, but spend some time listening to it and thinking about it. I believe you will see that I am right - or rather that he was right.

5 out of 5 stars A masterpiece that was largely ignored.......2004-10-18

By the time this album was released in 1991, it seems that all but his dedicated fans had lost interest in Kenny's music so few people even bothered to listen to what was on this album. That's their loss for this is one of Kenny's finest. Perhaps the absence of any hit that has been played to death on radio helps - without such a song it is possible to appreciate every song. Nevertheless, I'm convinced that a major hit would have emerged from this album if any single from it had been given a fair chance by the radio stations.

The album features several star guests as backing vocalists including Linda Davis, two of the Gatlin brothers, the lead singer of Restless Heart and two members of McBride and the Ride. Trisha Yearwood is not among the guests though she co-wrote one of the songs (How do I break it to my heart). As far as I know, Trisha never recorded her own version of the song. That's a pity because it's a great song.

If you want to find love, an infectious, upbeat song, would surely have been a huge hit if Kenny had been fashionable at the time. The outstanding ballad is Someone must feel like a fool tonight. Kenny must love Sunshine - he recorded the song back in his First Edition days and chose to re-record it for this album.

There are many great songs here, mainly ballads, all performed superbly by Kenny. If you are a Kenny Rogers fan, buy this album. You won't regret it.

5 out of 5 stars Kenny Always Knows Good Music.......2001-10-09

I would recomend this album to all Kenny Rogers fans. It has some really great songs on it that I think are just excellent. Some of the best ones include "Bed Of Roses", "They Just Don't Make Them Like You Anymore", "When You Were Loving Me", and "Some Prisons Don't Have Walls". Great album for any Kenny fan!

Amazon.com

On their ninth CD, the Brian Jonestown Massacre does what they're best at. That is, they conjure up visions of Beggars Banquet-era Rolling Stones and other artists from the swinging '60s. Emphasizing acoustic slide guitars, harmonica, handclaps, and tambourine, Anton Newcombe sings passionately in Jaggeresque style. While decidedly retro, the band is always entertaining as they evoke their musical heroes. On the song "Mansion in the Sky" Newcombe recalls the mood of early Dylan with evocative results. Folksy, bluesy, and particularly understated, this disc contains only six songs and leaves you hungry for more. With Miranda Lee Richards's haunting vocal on "Reign On" and an eerie update of Charles Manson's composition "Arkansas," Brian Jonestown Massacre turns six into nine one more time. It's brief, but bright, and their most satisfying work to date. --Mitch Myers

Album Description

Back in Print- the infamous 1999 EP contains six rambling, american via manson ditties including " Mansion In the Sky" and "The Godspell According to A.A. Newcombe".

Several of these songs are featured in the film " DIG".

Album Description

1999 CDEP from the kings of everything strange and dangerous in rock and roll. A six track 30 minute conceptual piece, this is all that is BJM and so much more. Digipack.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Arkensa yeah.......2006-06-03

This is a brilliant record. The music floats between quiet and beautiful tracks like 'reign on'... then on to the fun, hellraising blasphemy of the 'godspell according to Newcombe'. the last track, 'arkensa revisited', is as crazily cool as it is dangerous. Note the charles manson reference.
"Goin' back to Arkensa, gonna kill my ma and pa...gonna kill my ma and dad cause they made my life so sad."

1 out of 5 stars Self Indulgence Posing As Hip.......2006-04-21

Don't get me wrong. I'm a huge fan. But this one really stinks. With the exception of the song Miranda Lee Richards sings on, "Reign On", this is a mess. I got excited when I saw that one song was by Charlie Manson but "Arkansas" is one of the worst songs on this self indulgent collection of not songs as much as half-baked (pun intended) ideas for jams. Skip this one and
get "Methodrone", "Strung Out In Heaven", "Give It Back" or "And This Is Our Music" if you want to hear Anton & Company really rock and/or space out with way better melodies and lyrics than this one.

5 out of 5 stars you just crave for some more.......2006-02-07

Named after a classic Bob Dylan album, this EP is one the finest recording the Jonestown ever did. Only 6 songs that clocks-in less than half an hour. When the disc is over, you just crave for some more. Recorded by any means, with almost no drums or bass, The BJM welcomes here Miranda Lee Richards and her beautiful and eerie voice. Hard to find but definitely worth the looking.

5 out of 5 stars Top-notch EP from the best rock n' roll band in America........1999-09-20

BJM continue - with this brilliant, countrified-bluesy 6-tracker - to cut a blistering path through the history of American music. No-one can touch them. If you doubt, check out 1998's sublime "Strung Out in Heaven" or 1996's neglected blues-folk-rock masterpiece "Thank God for Mental Illness". They are one of the few bands in American music worth dying for. Name my pill Anton!!!!

5 out of 5 stars great album from the best band.......1999-07-12

About six months ago I discovered the band known as Brian Jonestown Massacre. I first bought Strung out in Heaven (which I highly recommend) then this album. I have to say that this is the best band of the ninties. With all the mass confusion of sound going around this is a breath of fresh air. They define the meaning of music. They are true muscians who are in it for the love of music. They will never sell out to the "industry". I recommend any album they have made and I am sure you will throughly enjpy it.

    4 out of 5 stars Lee Later.......2000-07-15

    One of the greatest and most underated jazz singers, Lee Wiley is presented on this CD as an older, more mature singer. Perhaps there is not the same verve or timbre in her voice, but her great timing and feel for the song is evident. Track 3 and track 19 are worth the price of this CD, alone. On the first, she sings a song that should be a classic melody: "You're Lucky To Me". But this version is a slower pace than she usually sang, such as with Eddie Condon's groups at the Town Hall Jazz Concerts in 1944. It has a memorable flavor. On track 19, which is one of the unique cuts on this CD which leave in re-takes and comments on some recordings, and Lee, who had been very ill and passed away a few years later, can be heard saying that she didn't like singing it because it depressed her. This is not only good music, it is history. There have been many imitators of Lee, but none did it quite like she did.
