5 out of 5 stars Oldie but Goodie.......2007-03-28

This is a wonderful children's CD. My two kids loved it when they were little (it was a record then) and now I keep several on hand to include in gifts for babies and small children. Burl Ives' voice is "easy on the ears" for adults as well.

5 out of 5 stars Great songs.......2006-05-16

I highly recommend this CD. I grew up listening to Burl Ives as a child (his adult stuff), and was looking for some of his music for my son. This CD is perfect - my 2 1/2 year old son's current favorites are the "train song" (little engine that could) and the "goose song". We listen to it over and over in the car.

5 out of 5 stars Burl Ives Sings A Little White Duck.......2006-03-15

When I saw that this was available, I had to have it. Listening to Burl Ives brought back such good memories of my childhood. I listened to it all of the time and even now I still remember the lyrics. The CD provides good, wholesome, entertainment and also wonderful phonemic awareness opportunities for little ones.

5 out of 5 stars Beloved songs.......2006-02-01

...but where is the Crocodile Song that was on the original album? What a classic.

5 out of 5 stars a baby-boomer classic!.......2005-02-28

I suppose i shouldn't have been surprised to read the other reviews and stories of how precious this album--and its memories---were to the other reviewers; back when we "baby-boomers" were little the music/media field was MUCH smaller--only a handful of artists putting out children's music. so like with "hula hoops" or "mickey mouse club", the folks weaned on this album probably numbers in the millions! Who knew!? but now most are too old or too "cool" to remember this "classic rock(a-bye)" album. so it was a pleasant surprise when i too typed in this title on a whim and found such kindred spirits! Anyway, for the newcomers- this is great folk music (with a child's style) delivered by a master the likes of which they just don't make no mo'! thanx, burl!

3 out of 5 stars Not Bad At All.......2004-06-19

I never really likes Burl's songs in movies like Summer Magic, but I heard this CD at a friend's house, and I found it pretty good. It's actually very good for this type of music. Although Burl's classic folk style is not exactly my cup of tea, some of these songs are quite good. Some of them are almost jokes, but some are really fun and good. Buy it, it's not too bad.

3 out of 5 stars I love Burl Ives, but..........2004-02-29

This is simply not a good selection of Ives' songs. Several of the versions are grossly inferior earlier cuts with poor sound quality. I refer particularly to the incomparably lovely "Lavender Blue" and "Goober Peas." The versions included here were recorded in the late 1940's and later versions by Burl are infinitely superior. The only stellar cuts are "A Little Bitty Tear" and "Maryann Regrets." The rest of the songs were not big hits and are poor filler material.

Burl Ives was an American treasure and his best work has aged well and is still wonderful music. However, you won't find it on this weak compilation.

5 out of 5 stars skimpy, many songs improved over Greatest Hits CD & 5 more.......2001-12-22

This CD of 12 of Burl's biggest hits is very skimpy (as with all of these US domestic Millennium Collections have in common) but it has a few tracks with improved sound over the 1996 Greatest Hits CD plus does have 5 songs that aren't on the 1996 Greatest Hits CD and they are "Mary Ann Regrets," "The Same Old Hurt," "Foggy, Foggy Dew," "Goober Peas," and "Wild Side of Life," and all songs come from clean masters. Some of the tracks that have noticeably improved sound over the 1996 Greatest Hits CD include "Lavender Blue," "Blue Tail Fly," "Big Rock Candy Mountain" but fans should still keep their 1996 CD anyway for many more classics in fact only 7 of these 12 songs are on the 1996 CD anyway. This disc is highly recommended for several of the tracks in improved sound over the 1996 CD entitled "Greatest Hits" and for the 5 songs not on that CD.

5 out of 5 stars A True Delight.......2007-06-12

This CD is advertised as having charm, humour and sincerity. All true. My husband has been telling me for over 20 years about Burl Ives singing Ghost Riders in the Sky, but I didn't pay much attention. I mean, I have heard that song by other artists before, and it didn't impress me. Then finally, one day I was trying to think of some little gift for him to show that I love him so much, and this song came to mind. I went on Amazon, typed in the song and artist, and there it was. Clicked "Buy It Now", and promptly forgot about it. In short order, there it was in the mailbox, and hubby out of town. I opened it (remember, it was bought as a present for HIM), and just sat and smiled and smiled and smiled as I listened. The Riders In the Sky brought tears to my eyes. I have heard that song before, but never like this version!! Every song is a feast to the ears. Pure listening pleasure. I suspect I will have to order my own since we have separate offices!!!

5 out of 5 stars Finally a great Burl Ives compilation!.......2004-02-29

Burl fans have waited years for a quality CD which includes most of his great songs. Though this compilation omits a few of his treasures, it's still the best Greatest Hits package out there. If you own only one Burl Ives album, then make it this one. Unfortunately, current marketers rehash many of Ives' worst songs, the ones geared towards small children, basically novelty songs. Unfortunately, there are a couple of these clunkers of this album, but you can easily skip over those.

Most of this is an adult album with some of the most common-sense and beautiful singing you will ever hear. Many of the cuts were recorded in 1960 with just Burl, his guitar and a few special effects. The songs are American standards and Burl's interpretation is marvelous throughout. His penetrating, unique voice will send shivers down your spine with his rendition of Riders in the Sky. There are some curious omissions, like Mule Train, John Henry and Lindy Lou. You can buy "Wayfaring Stranger" for those gems.

Ives is a master at singing these songs and this is a honest, stripped-down, unadorned masterpiece. They don't make music like this anymore, and as far as this genre goes, this is as good as it gets.

5 out of 5 stars Better than the old 78's.......2006-11-09

Many of the old favorites that I listened to growing up on the old 78's, but now there is no clicking, hissing, and all the other noises that came from the worn old records, just the clean clear voice of Burl Ives. If you love these old songs, this is a great disk to have.

5 out of 5 stars A Mighty Troubadour.......2005-10-20

If ever there was a perfect distillation of the art of folk ballad singing, this is it. There's no pretense here, no big point to prove. Just the clear folksy voice of Burl Ives and an unobtrusive guitar. The intimacy of the setting allows you to savor the material for itself, even as Ives makes the material his own. Regardless of its age or origin, or of the subsequent commandeering of many of these ballads by popular folk groups, each song in here becomes a Burl Ives Song, just as much as "One for my Baby" or "September of my Years" became irrevocably a Frank Sinatra Song. (It may be no coincidence that both Ives and Sinatra also gained recognition as actors - there is a definite feeling of an actor's commitment and identity in these songs - you almost feel that you are hearing them as they happen.) And although the songs are short, you never get the feeling of being hurried through them. It's a shame that relatively little of Ives's folk output has made it to CD, being passed over in favor of his children's material or countless "Little Bitty Tear" commercial compilations.

5 out of 5 stars Oldie but goodie.......2005-09-14

An alblum from the past that is as good today as it was then. If your old record player is gone with the past, you can start over with CD's and if you are a Burl Ives fan this should be your first purchase.

5 out of 5 stars Authentic folk music -- excellent.......2005-09-09

This CD along with "Return of the Wayfaring Stranger" are truly gems of Americana. It is a such pleasure to listen to these songs which Ives performs in the way that they must have been sung originally.

5 out of 5 stars At Last!!!.......2002-12-09

My parents had this album and "The Return of the Wayfaring Stranger" when I was growing up. We used to listen to them when we went to bed. I loved it and we wore the records out. I have been searching for Cd's of this for years and really hoped that they would be released so that I could share these with my children. They are part of this country's history through song and deal with life as it was and is.

This is a nice acoustic album. Just Burl and his guitar on most songs. There are some additional songs added to this Cd that were not on the original album. They don't quite fit in with the original style, but they are still good.

5 out of 5 stars Burl Ives' definitive album.......2003-11-30

If you own only one Burl Ives album, then make it this one. Unfortunately, current marketers rehash many of Ives' worst songs, the ones geared towards small children, basically novelty songs. This is an adult album with some of the most common-sense and beautiful singing you will ever hear. The first 14 cuts were recorded in 1960 with just Burl, his guitar and a few special effects. The songs are American standards and Burl's interpretation is marvelous throughout. His penetrating tenor will send shivers down your spine with his renditions of Fare Thee Well Honey and Lindy Lou. But the most outstanding tracks are undoubtedly the rousing Mule Train and John Henry.

Ives is a master at singing these songs and this is a honest, stripped-down, unadorned masterpiece. They don't make music like this anymore, and as far as this genre goes, this is as good as it gets.

5 out of 5 stars The perfect companion to "The Wayfaring Stranger".......2001-07-31

This 23 track CD contains not only the original 14 tracks on the vinyl version, but 9 bonus tracks, including "The Donut Song" in its original mono form as it is rechanneled on the "Little White Duck" CD. The entire album is a classic and does contain his hit cover of "Ghost Riders In The Sky" and his interpretations of "Billy The Kid," "John Henry," "Worried Man Blues" and other folk classics. A lot of the bonus tracks are not on any other CD in print and they are as good as the original album which this CD features the original artwork and reproduces the original liner notes from the vinyl contrary to another review of this product. This is a must have as an album that holds out on its own and/or as a companion to Collectables's "Wayfaring Stranger" reissue as the original album is sung in the same style as the first "Wayfaring Stranger" volume and the bonus tracks are just as nice.

5 out of 5 stars FINALLY,MORE CLASSIC BURL IVES ON COMPACT DISC!.......2000-11-28

Until Recently You had to be a vinyl record collector to enjoy Burl Ives'classic folk,country and pop recordings.Finally some good quality products are being released and this one is one of the best.The first 14 tracks,previously released in 1960, are wonderful folk selections of the same style as the original Wayfaring Stranger recordings of the 1940's.There are however two guitar parts on these.They're all excellent.Tracks 15-22,released in 1950 and track 23,released in 1955 are very entertaining pop recordings with an orchestra and chorus.The arrangements are exciting and upbeat.Again,they're all excellent.There are no liner notes of any kind other than the original release dates.The sound quality of these old recordings are quite good,sounding as if they could have been remastered from tape.Usually when an Ives CD comes out,someone finds fault comparing it to the original release on vinyl.Well if you want to start a record collecting hobby go ahead,but you wont find anything as good or better than this.

4 out of 5 stars LP recordings still best but in lieu--this is wonderful!.......2006-10-01

This man (I saw in person) sang for KINGS and PRESIDENTS (I forget how many but MANY of them including JFK) AND he compiled and SAVED many songs written IN AMERICA BY AMERICANS ABOUT AMERICA during it's building stages!

He sang in all of EUROPE (every country) plus Russia, and Australia!

HE was loved by millions! I grew up with him in a time BEFORE HEAVY ROCK and HEAD_BANGER music when you LISTENED to the words!

HE is BURL IVES and no one else and has his own way of singing. IF you like it--you'll love these songs==IF NOT--don't buy it! I grew up with him singing these songs and our daughters sang along with him. When we traveled in our car--it was HIS SONGS that we'd all sing together!

BUT---I still belive for REAL AUDIO--the LP still reigns--there is more "pixles of information" in a grove of an LP than in a CD and for classical or this type--IT (LPS) picks up ALL the nuances of the music and the instruments !

What a thrill to find this CD.I grew up listening to Burl Ives,and still can see myself dancing around the house to songs like: Old Witch Old Witch and Lollypop Tree. In fact,my Mom still has the old lp record,and my 2 year old son loves to dance to the same Burl Ives songs and music,thats why this CD was a "must"for me.It's a timeless classic for young children,my son and I are proof of that!

5 out of 5 stars A Twinkle In Your Eye.......2000-05-30

This truly does put a "twinkle in your eye" and the eye of the child who is listening with you. I play this over and over for my 3 month old grandson. We love it and he loves to hear the songs, even when Grannie sings along with the CD. This truly is a must for anyone with small children. I plan to buy each of my grandchildren one for their own home so they can listen to it anytime and not just at Grannie's house.

I am extremely happy with this CD. The songs are so catchy. I bought it for the kids, but I love it just as much. I am singing the songs outloud all day long! These songs have great lyrics sung by the beautiful voice of Burl Ives.

This is the most comprehensive of Disney collections, though the Classic Disney series is more up to date. Spread across three discs, the set features hits and forgotten favorites from movies, TV, and the parks (although more thorough work remains to be done in the last regard). Since the Disney catalog is in a state of constant change, this is the only place to get some songs that aren't currently available; these days it's a rare treat to hear "Cruella De Vil" from 101 Dalmations, "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah," from Song of the South, and Annette's theme from The Monkey's Uncle. A thick CD booklet is included, putting the songs in the context of Walt Disney's long, astounding career. --John Sanchez

5 out of 5 stars The Best Dinsey Collection.......2002-01-25

This expansive and detailed collection of Disney music is the best out there. I've had mine since it came out in 1991, and I can't tell you how many times I've played each of it's three CD's!

CD 1 starts off with the first Disney song in a cartoon, 'Turkey in the Straw' from Steamboat Willie and travels through the years (and 27 tracks) to The Sword and the Stone with 'Higitus Figitus'. Along the way films such as Pinocchio, Fantasia, Melody Time, Song of the South, Treasure Island and Sleeping Beauty are covered.

CD 2 picks things up in 1962 with 'Supercalifraglisticexpialidocious', and runs through 20 tracks to 1991's 'Beauty and the Beast'. No rare songs are included on this disc, but a song or two from each animated film made in this time period is nothing to balk at.

CD 3 heads in a new direction (that of live action, cartoon series and the Theme Parks) and serves up many gems and rarely heard recordings. Some of the 31 tracks included are; 'Enjoy It', 'The Ballad of Davy Crockett', 'Mister Piano Man' sung by Annette Funicello, the 'DuckTales Theme', 'Meet Me Down on Main Street', and the entire score for the 'Main Street Electrical Light Parade'!

This set goes one step further by including a 60-page book that illustrates with words, and many full color pictures, Disney's musical legacy and packs it in a record sized keep-sake box. Much of the information in the book is enlightening and it does a superb job of giving backstory to the creation of the songs included. I've refrenced it many times and have always found it helpful.

Yes, this set doesn't include songs from Toy Story, Tarzan or any of the more recent Disney offerings, but remember it was made in 1991. No matter though, over 10 years later, it's still the best and most comprehensive collection to date and believe me, I have enough Disney recordings to know! It's IMPOSSIBLE to be disappointed by this collection!

5 out of 5 stars I LOVE IT!!.......1998-10-03

I take a trip to DIsney World Florida every year and before this latest trip I got this CD set. It is great!! I LOVE IT!!

Jess

4 out of 5 stars A must have for Disney Freaks!.......1998-08-24

This is by far my favorite of Disney Albums. If I could have designed it I would have made the first disc 100% animation, the second for live action and TV, and the third music from the parks.

The only reason that the score isn't higher is because I would have liked to have more music from the parks.

That aside, this is a great addition to the CD collection.

5 out of 5 stars A Jewel in the Crown of Disney Music.......1998-08-05

The Music of Disney: A Legacy In Song is one of the strongest complilations of Disney music to date. The box set offers a sampling of timeless classics such as It's A Small World (After All), Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah and Someday My Prince Will Come. Not to be missed are some lesser known treasures including The Swamp Fox and Fortuosity. The box set features songs from theme park attractions, animated movies and cartoon shorts. With seventy-seven songs to choose from children and adults alike will be entertained for over twenty hours. The arrangement of songs also adds to the uniqueness of The Music of Disney: A Legacy In Song. Medolies of songs are arranged to compliment each other. Theme park songs are arranged fairly close together to allow an even flow throughout the cd. You will find no choppy arrangements in this compilation. Another feature that impressed me was the value of the box set. With the typical cd ranging from $12.99 to $18.99 for ten songs, it is a great valu! e to find almost eighty songs for about forty dollars. The title of this piece is correct in its wording of "A Legacy In Song." It indeed serves as a timeline of Disney music. I highly recommend The Music of Disney: A Legacy In Song to children of all ages. Its a way to bring home the magic of Disney into your own living room.

2 out of 5 stars Not Burl Ives' Best.......2007-01-13

I purchased this CD thinking it was the same as a sound recording of Christmas music by Burl Ives released in LP form during the 1960's (remember LP's?). Ives is not in good voice in many of these songs, and in particular he seems to be rushing through "The Twelve Days of Christmas." In fairness, this is more of a 2.5 rating. If you want Burl Ives at his best, give this one a pass.

5 out of 5 stars Burl Ives Christmas Collection.......2007-01-12

It's a great CD. Brings me back to when I was a little girl. We shouldn't forget the greats from the past. Besides, no one sings Rudolph better than Burl Ives.

4 out of 5 stars Return to your 1960's Childhood.......2004-01-14

During the 1950's & 1960's, Burl Ives was remembered for his unique sounding American folk music. Today most remember him for his Christmas music from the TV special "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer". The most famous songs from that series plus a few from the 1950's are in this collection. The production does sound its age, the separation & highs are off, or to write it this way: it sounds thin compared to modern recordings. I collect many records from many periods & most are better upgraded than this CD. Most songs are done rather straight forward, with few instruments & back up singers, which may sound a little corny for some, yet revealing a time of innocence & fun. Try out the Listen to Samples & see if you remember any of the songs & then sing along with your family. The most remembered are: Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer, Silver Bells, & A Holly Jolly Christmas.

1 out of 5 stars Please don't waste your money!.......2003-12-24

I have to start by saying that I love christmas music, especially all the "Golden Oldies" like Bing Crosby, Ray Coniff, Nat King Cole and Andy Williams. I bought this CD to add to my collection because I love the Rudolph the Reindeer movie and thought this CD would be cute. It is NOT cute, it is actually completely awful! He sounds raspy, the songs are completely off tune, and the whole CD is depressing. I have never been so disapointed in a Christmas CD, I gave it away to a charity store. It is not even worth $7.99. DON'T BUY THIS!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Christmas Collection.......2003-12-06

I bought this CD on a whim. The price was right and I'd been thinking about trying to get a copy of "A Holly Jolly Christmas." This was certainly the right choice.

Burl Ives contributes his distinctive vocals to many Christmas favorites. Compiled from several different Christmas recordings, they include such classics as "Silver Bells," "White Christmas," "What Child is this?" (with all the choruses, a bonus), "Winter Wonderland," and "O, Little Town of Bethlehem." Also included are a fun arrangement of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and a slightly different version of "Twelve Days of Christmas."

Of course, the collection wouldn't be complete without the inclusion of songs from the Rudolph special. Included here are "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," "Silver and Gold," and the previously mentioned "A Holly Jolly Christmas."

The recordings are simple; usually with one a few instruments and some background singers. This is different from the lush orchestra usually popular for Christmas recordings, but it's refreshing to have a different sound.

I'm not super familiar with Burl Ives' Christmas music, so I don't know what I might be missing by starting with this best of. All I do know is I don't regret the money I spent on this CD and will be enjoying it for many Christmases to come.

    5 out of 5 stars consistent good quality and in chronological order.......2006-08-09

    "The Golden Years of The Wayfaring Stanger", transfers and production by Geoff Milne (4CD box, 2005 Jasmine Records).

    All of these original Decca recordings (made from 1945 to 1953) have been transferred from vinyl yet sound quite clean (despite the odd blip or thud)and have a consistent sonic quality, regardless of whether they were live (on CD4 - the 1953 Coronation Concert in London), on radio (on CD2 - guesting on the Bing Crosby show) or from various studio sessions (on all 4 CDs). Part of the reason for the sonic consistency may be in that there has clearly been a decision made in the noise reduction process to also filter out any frequency above about 7kHz on all the tracks - however the remaining audio is very comfortable to listen to.

    I've recently done a couple of my own Burl Ives transfers to CD, including carefully removing each audible pop or click from an excellent condition vinyl LP of "The Wild Side Of Life" - all those tracks also appear on this CD set. I can hear a big difference between my CD and Geoff Milne's. I know that the studio recordings were bona fide HiFi mono, with truly amazing subtleties in musicianship and vocal harmony. The only way to appreciate all that intricate detail is to accept also hearing some surface noise. However I'd still have to say that these productions by Geoff Milne are appealing, even though they have less dynamic range.

    I like that all the tracks are arranged in chronological order of performance (rather than of release) and that we are given the actual dates and some other details. Geoff Milne's accompanying booklet includes an informed biography and is a good read.

    Anyone who grew up with the albums "The Wild Side Of Life" and "Women - Folk Songs About The Fair Sex" will be happy to know that all those original tracks are here in very good quality.

    There are also five versions of "The Blue Tail Fly", but not a dud song in sight. Highly recommended for any Burl Ives fan.
