Customer Reviews:
Fabulous for any Broadway-lover.......2007-01-30
Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.
Top Shelf.......2007-01-04
This is THE definitive collection of Broadway hits. I have other collections, and none of them measure up. A great deal of care was obviously taken in compiling and presenting this box set. It covers a lot of ground, starting with some long-forgotten but still very enjoyable hits from the days of yore, and finishing with present-day favorites. To the best of my knowledge, the recordings are by those who made them famous. You won't be disappointed.
TERRIFIC CD'S.......2006-03-23
THESE BROADWAY MUSICALS CD'S ARE A BROADWAY LOVERS DREAM. WITH EACH SONG, MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK. BOTH THE FAMILIAR AND THE FORGOTTEN SONGS ARE A TRUE LISTENING PLEASURE. IF YOU LIKE BROADWAY, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET.
Great Collection of Broadways greatest Songs .......2005-06-14
This Collection was perfectly made it has almost all the most famous Broadway songs on this 5 cd set. The Music is great and has Broadways greatest treasures like "Memory""People""With One Look""Give my regards Too Broadway" just to name a few of this numerous cd set with over 100 songs. This is a great buy if you like musicals or The music of Broadway
Great Compilation!.......2005-01-17
If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

Milsap's Strong Return to Pure Country.......2006-05-12
Ronnie Milsap spent most of the 80's crossing over to the pop charts with smooth pop-flavored tunes that were a departure from the basic country sound he focused on during his early country career in the 70's. By 1989, the direction of country music was heading toward a much more traditional sound propelled by hot new singers such as Randy Travis, Ricky Van Shelton, Alan Jackson, Clint Black, and Garth Brooks.
Milsap apparently felt the new trend coming on in Nashville, so he switched musical gears in 1989 and released Stranger Things have Happened, a new album that showed Ronnie Milsap still remained one of the world's best country singers...without a trace of nasal twang! The title song and "You snap your fingers" are both excellent country ballads that feature soaring vocal performances from Ronnie. The number one single "Don't you ever get tired of hurting me" is Ronnie's strong remake of an old country classic from the 1960's. "Houston Solution" is another dose of pure country music at its best that hit the top five, and "I never expected to see you" is another solid ballad that Ronnie co-wrote.
Milsap also adds a touch of his musical diversity with the inclusion of a gritty southern rock tune titled "Roll the Dice" that adds some edge to a CD that is literally pure country from start to finish. "I feel like I'm cheating on you" is a nice soulful ballad that Ronnie throws his heart and his soaring voice into.
Stranger things have happened was a successful return to traditional country that earned Ronnie Milsap a gold record as well as three number one singles. He would soon leave this new pure country direction behind with his next CD, the dazzling R&B-flavored album "Back to the Grindstone".
Traditional country album came as a surprise.......2004-04-18
Ronnie recorded several traditional country albums in the mid seventies before switching to a pop-country sound, sometimes utilizing synthesizers, so this one-off traditional country album from the late eighties came as a very pleasant surprise. Although electric guitars and synthesizers appear in the album credits, one listen to this album leaves you in no doubt that this really is traditional country music at its best. Steel guitar fans will find much to like about this album.
Three of the four singles released from this album - Stranger things have happened, Don't you ever get tired of hurting me (an old country song previously recorded by Ray Price, George Jones, Willie Nelson and others) and A woman in love - made number one on the country charts.
You snap your fingers and I'm back in your arms (a cover of a song first recorded by Charley Pride), Starting today, I feel like I'm cheating on you, I never expected to see you (a song that Ronnie co-wrote) and Houston solution (the only single that didn't make number one on the country chart) are all excellent ballads. Ronnie also does well on two mid-tempo songs - Roll the dice and Southern roots.
If you enjoy traditional country music, this is well worth tracking down, especially if you aren't keen on some of Ronnie's pop-country music. I like that too but it's nice to be able to listen to a whole album of traditional country from Ronnie.

THE OFFBEAT MONKEE IS STILL OFFBEAT.......2005-10-27
I've been following the Monkees since I was 10 and in the 4th grade. The Monkees was my first record album, bought at the local grocery store in the record aisle for 99c. I bought it because the cover was so damn appealing. There was Peter Tork right up front with Davey Jones. I went home and played that record on my parent's Fisher console stereo. It was not my introduction to rock 'n roll because I had already enjoyed the Beatle's songs on my transister radio. So, I had experienced ears by the time I listened to the Monkee's debut album. I thought it was wonderful and my favorite song on it was Gonna Buy Me A Dog by Peter. It was musical,comical, and just plain entertaining. Then the follow-up effort, More Of The Monkees, really hit the spot. My favorite song on it was My Auntie Grizelda done by Peter again. I noticed even at a young age that he was not as on key as the other three Monkees as a singer but he was different and funny.
Anyways, I've been following the group for quite awhile now and this first solo release of Peter Tork has been overdue. The other better vocalists from the Monkees have all put out some decent solo stuff. I bought this CD knowing it would be offbeat and it was. But, its still fairly good and Peter Tork sounds very similiar to Ringo Starr's vocals, which is a compliment.
A must-have for any die-hard Monkee fan from the past but probably easily passed on by others.
True Review.......2005-10-23
Here's a review I read and agree with: REVIEW
STRANGER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED
STRANGER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED, the first solo effort from
Peter Tork, is a triumph. Wonderful production from Peter and
co-producer James Lee Stanley along with excellent material
beautifully performed by a group of exceptional musicians and
singers, make this a work of talent, taste, and style; one that
makes use of a variety of musical influences, both past and
present. STRANGER THINGS is like nothing else, being very much a
reflection of the artist. Certainly no one but Peter could have
put it all together.
Each song is unique unto itself, offering much to the
listener. And yet, different as they are, the songs fit together
like tiles in a mosaic to to create a complete musical whole.
The title track, by Levine and Rudetsky, is exceptional. With
its reggae/New Age overtones, it catches you and "sticks". The
lyrics call up images that are at once familiar and fantastic,
and will, if you allow it, carry you away to places rich and
strange indeed. The perfect opening for this album, it sets the
stage for what is to come.
"You Get What You Pay For" is, for many, THE song of the
collection, and it's certainly deserving of "favorite" status.
It's rock overtones and the excellent instrumental work by Marc
McClure especially, give it a great musical "hook" and make it
memorable.
"Sea Change" is lovely, my candidate for the prettiest (in the
BEST sense of that overused word) song here. With it's soothing
ocean effects and that wondrous guitar work of Peter's, it has a
smooth, liquid feel that makes it close to perfect. The longest
song on the album, it creates and holds a mood that is relaxing
and dreamlike. The lyric draws you in, sustaining that mood until
the last note. This one is a personal favorite.
"Take A Giant Step"---This version may be better than the
original. The Goffin-King standard is one song that really
benefits from an acoustic treatment. Peter sounds great, and his
playing---especially the guitar solo---is excellent, as always.
Fine back-up by Mackenzie Phillips and Owen Elliot give it a nice
'60's feel, without lessening its contemporary sound. An
excellent job all around.
Martin Briley's "Milkshake" is a classic of it's kind, and
certainly one of the most fun songs to come along in a LONG time.
It's such a visual tune---whenever I hear it, I "see" it---and
enjoy it more and more. Laurence Juber's solo is perfect--just
the right touch. Micky and Mike do a terrific job, making this a
special track, and lending just the right sense of humor. And how
nice to hear the three of them together again.
There's nothing like a good car song, and "MGB-GT" certainly
qualifies. Another fun tune, it flys along like that little red
car once did---smooth and fast, taking you along for quite a
ride. Mike again provides background, and that piano solo---WOW!!
Crank this one up when you hit the road; it's "driving music" at
it's best.
"Miracle" is the one for hard rock lovers. Driving beat,
terrific guitar work, interesting lyrics---an excellent example
of this particular rock form. This is the one that may surprise a
lot of people out of their preconceived notions---and isn't that
the point of the song? Terrific work here by Peter, Tommy Mars,
Pat Holloway and Darren Elpant. A real winner.
"Pirates". written by Peter's brother Nick, is excellent. A
great dance tune---upbeat with a fun sound and a great "hook",
it's another one that "sticks". The horns keep it lively, and the
lyrics offer a somewhat bemused look at the trials and
tribulations of "true love". This is one that you'll find
yourself singing at unexpected moments.
"Gettin' In" is the other track that should appeal to those
who like that harder sound. It is deceptively simple in it's
construction. It builds on a strong bass line, adding keyboards
and guitars to a solid drum presence, making this version so
well-built that the seams are invisible. Top-notch instrumental
work, again by Tommy, Pat and Darren, pulls it together into a
very enjoyable whole.
"Tender Is" is a lovely introspective song whose simple
presentation here enhances its poetic quality. The piano line is
especially well-done, serving to illuminate the lyric while
lending a certain lightness that balances the darker tones of its
theme. A small, perfect gem.
"Higher & Higher", a great "feel good" song is the perfect way
to close STRANGER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED. After the "heavier" songs
that preceed it, it does indeed come like the dawn to lighten the
mood. With it's simple melodic line and upbeat, happy lyric, it
leaves you feeling content and positive. Excellent banjo work by
Peter, as always, and an absolutely bang-up job on background
vocals by James Lee Stanley and Anita Sherman.
Throughout the album, the vocals are uniformly
superior--excellent work from everyone at all times. Peter
himself has never sounded better. His voice, with its warm, easy,
friendly quality has acquired a richer tone---full and smooth and
strong---that is beautifully served by (and serves) his choice of
material.
The production is masterful---neither too much nor too little.
Only what is needed for each song to be heard at its best. An
excellent job by Peter and James Lee Stanley.
The cover art by Peter's brother Nick suits STRANGER THINGS to
a T. Its bright colors and interesting graphics are real
eye-catchers. And, like both the album, and Peter himself, there
is more to it than meets the eye (or ear) at first. As for the
liner notes....Smart and witty, they assume an intelligence on
the part of the reader/listener that is very welcome. Again,
there is more here than meets the eye....(for example, how many
oblique references can you find to the name "Peter"?)
The whole package, from the cover to the picture disc itself
has obviously been put together with great thought and care. This
is a work that Peter can, and should be proud of. Indeed,
everyone connected with STRANGER THINGS deserves a big
"Congratulations and thanks". We waited a long time for this, and
they made sure it was well worth the wait.

Leave yesterday behind.......2005-02-14
This was Peter Tork's belated first solo album, released 26 years after he quit the Monkees. To be honest, it was somewhat of a disappointment to me as a Monkees fan. I was expecting Peter to really shine now that he had the spotlight all to himself and instead he released a perfectly average, mediocre album. It's not terrible, but it's not particularly great either. The reason Peter only sang lead on a handful of Monkees songs is because "certain people" didn't think he was a very good singer. Frankly, he doesn't do much to prove them wrong here. His singing on "Take a Giant Step" isn't as good as Micky Dolenz, and his singing on "Higher and Higher" doesn't come anywhere near matching Jackie Wilson. Which is not to say that the album doesn't have it's good moments. I particularly enjoyed "Milkshake". But this is really an album that will only be of interest to Monkees fans who are curious to see what Peter Tork can do on his own.
About time, Peter!.......2004-11-04
I've had the good fortune to see Peter perform a lot of this material live, so when I heard he was finally coming out with an album of solo material, I was about as happy as any longtime Monkees fan could be...my only complaint is that one of his finest songs, "Good Looker" has yet to make it to one of Peter's albums! (I asked him once during the autograph sessions at one of his live shows when it would be on an album...Peter's answer: "I give up, when?") There is something for just about any Monkees fan here, and some fine stuff even if you missed the whole phenomenon. Nothing that's going to change the world, but plenty to put a smile on its face...and the guest list! Mackenzie Phillips, Mike Nesmith, Micky Dolenz, Timothy B. Schmit, just to name a few...and a couple of updates on some songs Peter has had kicking around for years like "MGB-GT" from the Monkees "Pool It" era, "Take a Giant Step" from Monkees album number one, and "Higher and Higher" which he had released with his early 80s band the New Monks...it all sounds like he was having a great time doing this, and that's what it's all about (and here you thought all this time the Hokey Pokey was what it was all about)...don't expect the Mormon Tabernacle Choir or Abbey Road here, just put it in the player and appreciate it for what it is...a bunch of musicians just having a good time making music, which is what Peter was all about back in the Monkees days too...the music. Do yourself another favor and go see Peter when Shoe Suede Blues comes to your area...a chance to see Peter do some other stuff he really loves!
Excellent CD.......2003-11-18
I don't particularly understand the dogging reviews. This is a really good CD. The best track is probably "Milkshake." I do agree with some reviewers that Peter could have done without all the synthesizers and keyboards. Other than that it's fine.

Good, bad and the indifferent.......2006-01-13
I kind of concur with the other reviews here in terms of not really be that cohesive an album. However, the tracks that are good (4 or 5 of them) are VERY good - hence a weighted average 4 stars. The song 'Perk' is my favourite.
Make your mind up, Seamus !.......2000-09-17
Canadian saxophonist Seamus Blake left the Criss Cross Jazz-label to record this album for Fresh Sound from Barcelona, Spain. Once again, Blake doesn't seem satisfied with creating his great sound in another hard-bop album. Instead, he seems to be looking for a sound in between hard-bop, soul and fusion. Guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel is an important member of this band. His playing seems to have become much lighter, less robust, since featuring so prominently on Blake's debut album "The call" in 1993. It blends well with Blake's somewhat foggy sound. On track 4 ("Token cello") Rosenwinkel gets the upper hand and dominates the entire tune, unfortunately this leads to a rather unsatisfying fusion-like soup. Bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Jorge Rossy need no further introduction : as regular members of pianist Brad Mehldau's trio they have extensively shown to be masters of their craft, as they do once again on this CD. Blake's apparent dissatisfaction with straight-ahead jazz this time around tricks him into singing, fortunately only on one track ("Northern Light"). Fortunately, because let's face it, Blake is no Sinatra, he's even no Chet Baker. All in all, a mixed result (once again). I guess Blake is going to have to make his mind up pretty soon about what kind of music he wants to produce : powerful hard-bop or the eerie cross between fusion and jazz-rock. Judging from this album it doesn't seem like he's made up his mind yet.
forward-thinking music from NYC.......2000-02-04
this is seamus' first cd from fresh sound new talent (he has released a few more from criss cross). his long time friend kurt rosenwinkel adds such beautiful colors as a soloist and a harmonist. seamus' compositions are strong. with larry granadier and jorge rossy, this band creates beautiful music that's totally original. if you like the music of brad mehldau, chris potter, joshua redman, or mark turner, this cd is a must.

Come with me.......2005-02-14
This was Peter Tork's belated first solo album, released 26 years after he quit the Monkees. To be honest, it was somewhat of a disappointment to me as a Monkees fan. I was expecting Peter to really shine now that he had the spotlight all to himself and instead he released a perfectly average, mediocre album. It's not terrible, but it's not particularly great either. The reason Peter only sang lead on a handful of Monkees songs is because "certain people" didn't think he was a very good singer. Frankly, he doesn't do much to prove them wrong here. His singing on "Take a Giant Step" isn't as good as Micky Dolenz, and his singing on "Higher and Higher" doesn't come anywhere near matching Jackie Wilson. Which is not to say that the album doesn't have it's good moments. I particularly enjoyed "Milkshake". But this is really an album that will only be of interest to Monkees fans who are curious to see what Peter Tork can do on his own.
Worth a Listen.......2002-04-12
I was a first generation Monkee fan who after the tv show was cancelled (1968), moved onto more sophisticated music. I hadn't thought about the Monkees again until VH1 released a movie and a "Behind the Music" program about a year ago (1999/2000). The BTM program showed a significantly older Peter Tork performing live. This caused me to track him down through the Web which lead me to this CD.
I bought it out of curiosity to see just what Peter Tork could do without the restrictions of the pre-Fab four machine. I found it to be an interesting effort with some enjoyable tracks. I particularly like the self penned "You get what you pay for". "Milkshake" is very entertaining and actually suits his very limited voice. One of the best efforts is the acoustic remake of the Monkee "Take a Giant Step". You actually get to hear and appreciate the words. Overall, I enjoy most of the CD and am glad I purchased it. I hear he is a much better and more entertaining performer live with his long time friend James Lee Stanley or his band, Shoe Suede Blues.

Peter Tork has his own ways of singing, and this CD sure shows it. It was a good album and I still play it today, many years after buying it. Just wish him and the Monkees could get a long better than they do, but Tork is very good to see on his own. He puts on a good
show.

Fantastic Jazz Album From American Idol Runner Up.......2006-12-02
This is the best album I have in my music collection. If you love jazz music then this is a must have CD. If you do not like jazz music then you will still love this album. Season 1 of American Idol was the only season that they did jazz night. Justin was the only contestant to get a standing ovation on that night. I think he got the only standing ovation the whole season. You will love this jazz CD.
