    Album Description

    Soon after Bobby returned to RCA in 1972, he recorded an entire LP of songs by the legendary songwriter, cartoonist and humorist Shel Silverstein. The album yielded three hits, Daddy What If, Marie Laveau (Bobby's first ever #1 hit) and The Winner. Ten other songs feature Silverstein's weird and often ironic twist on the country song. This is regarded by many as Bobby's best-ever album!

    5 out of 5 stars Bobby at his best........2007-07-26

    Classic Bobby Bare. The best in funny and touching stories. Combines both humor and philosophy, often in the same song.

    4 out of 5 stars Bobby Bare Sing Lullabys, Legends and Lies.......2007-03-09

    I was very please to hear song that I've not hear in years. The price was great. If you are a Bobby Bare fan you can not go wrong with this CD.

    5 out of 5 stars Bobby Bare hits a homer!.......2002-10-16

    This was the first album I ever bought, at the age of 12, with some money I had saved by mowning lawns. I listened to it for years until I wore the vinyl record out. "The Winner" and "Marie Leveaux" could be heard on the radio at the time but the real beauty of the album, I think, is the seldom-heard "Roaslie's Good Eats Cafe" and "In the Hills of Shiloh." Today, my wife uses "Rosalie's" to teach her 12th grade English students about descriptive writing. My two boys and I giggle at the "Mermaid", "Paul", "Sure Hit Songwriters Pen", and all the other great ones. Thanks Bobby & Shel for this artistic collaboration -- and for thirty years (and counting) of enjoyment.

    5 out of 5 stars An artists artist........2002-03-11

    Many of these reviews are good but also erroneous.This is probably the best theme album of all time in any genre. But it was NOT the first theme album in country music. That distinction belongs to Johnny Cash in the early sixties.To appreciate ones music one does not have to denegrate someone elses music or contribution, or to have novice listeners make silly statements without them having the scope to be in the know. Johnny Cash says Bare is his favorite, he also was known as Jennings favorite.He also should be given more credit for the sweeping changes in the artist as being in control of their music.Far before Waylon and Willie , Bare learned from Cash how to rule his music from Nashville producers. Listen and enjoy . They are all favorites - but the last The Winner is a classic!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of any genre. Thanks Mr. Bare for your lifes music. Brad Stender.

    5 out of 5 stars Flashback to my childhood.......2007-07-25

    My mother had several of their albums that we listened to in the early 70's. I remember the Land of the Giants the most. Now my kids are the age I was and I was trying to remember some of the songs I listened to as a kid and this was the first thing that came to mind. I typed in Land of the Giants on Google and wahlah! there it was! So I bought my little sister a copy too. I also plan to get the Christmas CD - which my mother was very fond of - and 35 years later I still remember the picture from the cover.

    Now I know why I have always been so fond of Bluegrass!

    4 out of 5 stars Music from my childhood.......2007-06-11

    My folks had "Tell Tales! Legends and Nonsense" and I've been having great fun introducing my daughters to this music. I wasn't previously familiar with the "Land of Giants" album, but the girls like it.

    4 out of 5 stars New Christie Minstrels.......2007-05-13

    I like the Christie Minstrels and their music brings back the '60's and my early college days. Fun stuff! Sure nice not to have to listen to my worn out old albums!Good for cleaning the house or any of those chores you can't summon up the energy to get started on.

    4 out of 5 stars New Christy Minstrels CD - Tall Tales.......2007-01-10

    This is a great album for playing with your kids. The sound of this group is terrific, and the folksy music is just feel good fun stuff. Also check out their Christmas album.

    5 out of 5 stars Land of Giants.......2006-06-15

    My grandma taught school in the L.A. Unified school district for many years, including the 60's and 70's. She used Land of Giants as a teaching tool for her 5th graders as they learned about United States History. She had them make costumes, and props, and she played the LP on a portable turntable as they presented a program to their parents at the end of the year. She couldn't sing a note, but she appreciated good music, and I was lucky enough to spend time at her house listening to that album over and over. I still have the poor scratchy LP, with a much-taped cover, but I am delighted to have a chance to purchase this music in CD form. Randy Sparks' composing/arranging talent is phenomenal, and his New Christy Minstrels' singing and playing talents are, too. Land of Giants and Sam Hinton's Singing Across the Land were my introductions to North American Folk Music, and the beginning of a lifelong interest. I wonder if any of Grandma's students out there remember Land of Giants?

    I don't know too much about music. I own over 700 cds, but I don't play music and I don't have much experience with this music. My only point of reference was the ninth symphony, seeing as every other piece in this box set was new to me. It sounds fine, nothing wrong with it as far as I can see.

    Now, here's what you'll get in this box set, seeing as Amazon does not give it a description. 40 cds! no joke, you get 40 cds in this box set. It features:
    1. Complete symphonies
    2. Complete symphonic poems
    3. Cello concerto
    4. Piano concerto
    5. Violin concerto
    6. Requiem
    7. Stabat Mater
    8. Slavonic Dances
    9. Complete String quartets
    10. Chamber music
    11. Piano Works (solo and duet)
    12. Rusalka

    As far as I can tell, the only things missing are The Spectre's Bride and Jacobin. Seeing as it is 40 cds, i have not had an opportunity to listen to it, however what i have heard i have been quite satisfied with.

        5 out of 5 stars Thank you.......2002-08-23

        My thanks to the recording company for releasing this RCA series of country greats.

        I've adored John Hartford's music since I was small, watching Glen Campbell on TV. The samples of his work contained in this greatest compositions CD are wonderful. No CD will please everyone completely. I wish that Front Porch was replaced by Left-Handed Woman, but that's just me. Still, it's refreshing to be able to listen to John Hartford once again.

        4 out of 5 stars Excellent (But Brief) Intro to Hartford's Formative Years.......2002-04-20

        John Hartford recorded five albums for RCA from 1967 through 1970 prior to 1971's classic "Aereo-Plain." This "Country Legends" release samples these long out-of-print albums (although nothing is included from 1970's "Iron Mountain Depot"). However, if you're unfamiliar with Hartford's pre-"Aereo-Plain" material, this material may come as something of a surprise.

        As Hartford explains in the liner notes, while RCA saw him as their version of Bob Dylan, RCA's Nashville operations vice president Chet Atkins saw him as their Roger Miller. Hartford also expressed some concern about his difficulty in convincing RCA to allow him to hire bluegrass musicians for sessions.

        Fortunately, most of the songs selected for this release are those where Hartford is backed by a limited number of musicians--although the trumpet flourishes on "I'm Still Here" are distracting.

        Highlights include his original version of "Gentle on My Mind" (which stalled at No. 60 on the country charts), "California Earthquake," "(Good Old Electric) Washing Machine (Circa 1943)" and "Mouth to Mouth Resuscitation"--the latter two showing the kind of quirky humor that would be one of Hartford's trademarks throughout his career. My only complain is that with a running time of 40:15, Buddha could have tacked on another dozen songs. At any rate, at present, this is the only opportunity listeners have to hear any of Hartford's music from his formative years. RECOMMENDED

        5 out of 5 stars It's about time.......2002-04-16

        Where have these recordings been? I only hope RCA reissues his original LP's on CD. I've owned Gentle On My Mind since I was a kid, and I've never tired of it. All but a few of the songs from that LP are included here. There's humor and excellent musicianship. The sound quality is very good.

        5 out of 5 stars About time this stuff saw the light of day!.......2001-10-22

        John Hartford's RCA albums were pulled from the catalogue when he jumped to Warner in 1971. This Buddha compilation includes selections from the first four releases, plus the two new tracks on the best-of album "Gentle On My Mind", all recorded and produced in Nashville by Felton Jarvis.

        John's early songs were what he called "Word Movies" (a concept not all that distant from Ken Nordine's "Word Jazz") and these songs clearly show why. For those who only know John from his one-man show days, or from Aereo Plain (incl. "Boogie"), this is a real treasure. You can hear why Chuck Glaser hired the youngish John Harford (without the "t") to write for the family studio, and why they marched him up to Chet Atkins at RCA, and why Chet signed him (it was he who added the "t" to John's name).
        Just hearing the original Gentle On My Mind is worth the price of this.

        These tracks were remastered from the original mix tapes and sound beautiful. Dave Samuelson and Rich Kienzle did a wonderful job compiling session and track info from the ledger sheets - Jerry Reed playing guitar?! - and their liner notes drawn from conversations with John and interviews from magazines.

        If you've ever liked John Hartford's material, I say you owe it to yourself to hear his early works. Enjoy.

        ...

        5 out of 5 stars Just What I Wanted!.......2001-10-20

        I've been trying to get some of John Hartford's early works for quite some time. The problem is that there are a bunch of albums that you just can't get because they've never been released on CD and you can't get the albums. I even went to the extent of searching through the album racks at antique stores.

        Well this was what I was looking for (but sure could use MORE). It's a collection of John's early works from the mid to late sixties. And after my second listen I have to say that I know it will be one of my favorites.

        Some of the songs should be familiar. "Gentle on My Mind" has been recorded on several of his albums, and "Washing Machine", "I'm Still Here" and "I Would Not Be Here" are also on other CDs. But the rest are ones that I've never heard before and they are classic John Hartford with his unique style and his never-ending experimental spirit.

        A lot of these songs have sounds that are dated but that doesn't mean that it's bad. I get a genuine feel for the times when John Hartford was part of the Glenn Campbell Good Time Hour (hey, that's another good idea - how about some of that stuff?) when I listen to these songs. And if you listen close you can hear the beginnings of John's style that peaks in his great release of Aereo-Plain that was first released in 1971.

O you who listen by candlelight, you who follow the Gypsy Moon, here at last, here is the solace that you seek! — R. Merlin

        5 out of 5 stars I've had it for years... never fails to delight! .......2005-08-11

        If you like fairies, faeries or magick or magick ;-) this CD is good to have in your collection.

        What I love about this CD is that there is just music, so you can fall asleep to it- or have guests over without them going "what in god's name are you listening to?!" It's very light and airy - you can feel the AIR in this CD and I love it. It definitely reminds you of fairies, and if you love them as much as I do by collecting, painting, drawing or admiring them this CD will help you get in the fairy/faery mood!

        If you like my review please vote for it - any questions, IM me at WinterGetsMe. Have a great day!

        2 out of 5 stars The music is nice but............2001-11-12

        There is hardly any singing in this one. I have bought the others and they are much better. This one seemed as if they were in a hurry in order to get it done.

        5 out of 5 stars Spirited Away.......2001-07-11

        A close friend of my son's had purchased this CD and brought it with her when she visited him from out of state. I saw it at his house and asked if I could borrow it as I was intrigued by the name and the cover. The next day I played it in my car, and after just a few moments of hearing it, I found myself drawn into the mystry of the music. I was completely entranced, and kept playing it over and over. I just had to have it, so bought another one for my son's friend. But I found myself telling my sister about it, because I knew she would love it, and gave her the one I had replaced. I again replaced it, but ended up giving it to another friend who I knew would love it! I have never bought so many copies of a CD without having one! Finally I purchased yet another copy to replace the one I borrowed, keeping the original for myself. I still just love this music. I have the other CD's by this artist, but I like this one the best because it is purely instrumental. Don't misunderstand - the others are great. I just like this one BEST. It takes me away to magical places, lets my imagination soar and encourages exploration of conceivable possibilities.

        5 out of 5 stars A Faerie Tale.......2001-03-15

        This recording transports the listener to the lush green woods of Ireland or any other enchanted Celtic place. The piano is lilting and otherworldly.Exquisite!

        5 out of 5 stars Enchanting,Breathtaking........2000-10-03

        I heard this from my Mom who also likes New Age music. I instantly loved it and got the cassette for myself. It is a very beautiful, sweet and enchanting listen. It 'twinkles' around the listener and uplifts the heart and soul.When you close your eyes, you can SEE the moonlit,fog-enshrouded forest and the shimmering, dancing faeries.

        Another great album to hear like this one: 2002:River of Stars.

          4 out of 5 stars Good but a bit misleading.......2004-01-07

          First-I liked the album. The good things about it included the variety and breadth of musical styles - from Bob Brozman (poster child for all things National Guitar) to Kayton Roberts who does a nice version of Bells of St. Mary's. My only gripe is that much of the music deviates from what is known as the "lap steel guitar" (a relatively small electrified six to 10 string instrument), offering various slide guitar and resonator guitar songs as well. It would be as if they called a record "all about trombones" and only include one or two songs just with trombones and the rest with other instruments. I was not disappointed with the sound, but thought that they could have either called it something else or included more actual lap steel guitars on the record.
