Ridin' On

Album Description

Holiday blues comin' on? Well, put a spike in `em! Here's the zaniest, wildest and just plain sickest Collectors' Choice Music exclusive yet—79 tracks from Spike Jones and his City Slickers! These represent Spike's complete Standard Transcription sides, but these tunes are anything but standard; Mr. Jones brought his full bag of tricks for these non-commercial recordings (made in Hollywood during the early `40s). Add to that the fact that most of these have never been on CD or even LP, and any lover of Spike's mayhem-filled mixture of laughs and hot licks is going to flip over this set! Notes and great pictures accompany this 3-CD walk on the wacky side from the greatest novelty band of all time.

Great set of wartime rarities.......2003-05-14

Spike Jones was the king of the novelty song performers, with hits like "Der Fuehrer's Face" and the parody version of "Sheik of Araby" becoming huge hits during World War II. This is a swell 3-CD set, gathering a full eighty-one of Jones' best tracks from his 1940s heyday, drawn from an extensive archive of radio broadcasts made for the Standard Transcription service. The tightness of his City Slickers band is amply demonstrated in these manic, kookily orchestrated performances. Toots, squonks, blatts and bleats whiz by at lightning speed, as one daffy song after another will delight devoted fans. Amazingly, Jones had the unusual, almost unique ability to perform a repertoire almost entirely made up of comedic material, and yet still be quite listenable and engaging. His jazz chops were hardly in question, and from time to time Jones would dash off a non-novelty ballad or two, just to give the rubes something to think about. Of course, just as often he would perform a song that *sounded* like a straight ballad, but would turn out to be another goof. (One great example of this is the sultry "Serenade To A Jerk," sung in slinky, burlesque tones by Myrtle Horwin.) This collection may seem a little overwhelming, but like his studio recordings, these radio performances have a certain brilliance and joie de vivre about them that will leave you enchanted. Definitely worth checking out!

Standard Transcription Collection.......2003-04-12

This collection has remastered material from the large stack of Standard Transcription discs from the early 1940's. There are many songs not recorded on RCA, many on the theme of wartime ("48 Reasons Why"), and the quality is excellent. The packaging is threadbare but this is an essential CD package for true music lovers.

this is sweettttt.......2005-08-27

i think this is the best cd since all the spice girl cds. When that guy came in with the bag pipes it was soooooooo sweet i heart it soooo much. Thanks for your time buy it or some spice girls they all rock

A very loving CD.......2001-02-26

This is a very good CD and, above all else, a very loving CD. It is organized in a certain way: very quickly after the title cut, we are exposed to two very mellow songs, Robbie Robertson's "Twilight" and then "Dimming Of The Day"; then possibly the CD's highlight, "Ragtop", a very energetic blues tribute to the convertible car. The remainder of the album is devoted mostly to loving songs, with some remarkable exceptions: "Outside Track", really an ancient folk song; "Every Man Is His Own Hero", a blues tribute to Paul Butterfield,"Women Cross The Water" , a Nashville effort. The remainder are loving songs about friendship and they work, for the most part, except possibly for the last song, which is a bit overdone. This song reminds me of the final cut on Alison Krausss's "So Long, So Wrong" CD. This is a good, though ultimately forgettable,CD. There are many creative moments, which purport to be "modern bluegrass." While this may be true, the songs are in the long run forgettable. It is with great heartache that I say this. Her more recent CD, "Forget About It" is better. The songs are more enduring, though they may appear on the surface to be more insignificant. Similarly, the last cut on "Riding On The Blinds" strives for too much, and is consequently a failure. Other than that, I have no complaints; this CD gives me great pleasure.

A unique gem of an album........2001-02-01

I'm a huge Rick Danko fan, so it would be tempting to give ANY album he lent his vocals to a 5-star review. But this album is truly unique and deserving of praise. The unusual, exotic Norwegian instrumentation used throughout the album makes this a more special collaborative effort than your average folk-rock album...as do those wonderful harmonies. The previous reviewer is right on the money in singling out Rick Danko on "Twilight" and Andersen on "Dimming of the Day" (though I have no shortage of favorites on this album). As an aside, Kirsten Berg, a Norwegian singer, does a duet with Eric Andersen on "Dimming", and I spent over 3 years searching for an album by her, so taken was I with her voice on this track. This was also the album that introduced me to Andersen, and hooked me on his haunting voice and the insightful songwriting in his work. I could rant on but you probably get the idea... :) Beautiful stuff.

A great album.......2000-01-02

The Band was greater than the sum of it's parts, though all of those "parts" consisted of phenomenal musicians. Rick Danko was one of them and his solo and other-team projects were some of the best done by a Band alumnus. This album is one of a couple Danko did with Eric Anderson, a fine and criminally underheard singer/songwriter, and Jonas Fjeld, who is well known in his native Norway but not a readily familiar name to many outside of that country. RIDIN' ON THE BLINDS has the kind of homespun charm that made The Band's albums shine, but it also has many moments of quiet power.

Anderson is probably the strongest presence here, doing a beautiful rendition of Richard Thompson's "Dimming Of The Day" and leading the three voices to soar on his own "Come Runnin' Like A Friend." Fjeld is a terrific guitarist and his vocal on "Women 'Cross The River" is a beaut. (He and Anderson sound very similar). But the high point as far as I'm concerned is Danko's stripped down version of former Band-mate "Robbie" Robertson's "Twilight," a song one doesn't hear much. Danko's vocal sounds off the cuff, but that's part of it's charm, and when the three of them sing the chorus, it bowls you over. In light of Danko's recent passing, the words, "Don't leave me alone in the twilight/ 'Cause twilight is the loneliest time of day" have an especially sad ring to them.

This album is a wonder.

PERFECT PORTER.......2001-06-27

It will be a remarkable feat indeed if this recording of Porter standards is ever surpassed. Feyer, a classically trained pianist, has a remarkably deft touch and an uncanny knack for the driving, rhythmic vitality of Porter's music. Acoustic guitar, drums, and other percussive instruments provide an essential, but unobtrusive, rhythmic foundation throughout. Thirty-four pieces are packed onto the disc, one often merging skillfully into the next, to form a series of three colossal medleys. Although recorded in the pre-digital era, the sound quality of this Vanguard Classics disc equals or surpasses the best contemporary recordings. If you like Porter, this one's a sure bet; if you think you don't like Porter, this one will change your mind.

Best CD ever!!.......1998-11-26

If you like Cole Porter and piano you will love this
