Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Two tracks I really like.......2007-07-21

The Mission Impossible theme is performed well.
The Fireball theme is actually much improved on this version. I prefer the orchestra and the vocals over the original.

2 out of 5 stars Quantity Over Quality.......2007-01-15

As a musician myself, I know too well that one of the most important ingredients in ANY performance (live or recorded) is passion. The recordings here generally lack the same passion and sheer drama of the originals. Much of the instrumentation has been reduced to a cheezy, thin, plastic synthesized replica. The performances are simply a watered-down lackluster version of the classic originals. If it were not for the sheer volume of tracks compiled here, I would have rated the comp only "one star".

3 out of 5 stars Mediocre.......2006-05-17

The sound quality for this collection isn't much better than the samples offered by Amazon.

4 out of 5 stars One Hundred Greatest TV Themes.......2005-08-06

I have watched almost all the shows that are on these 4 cd's. Many were made before I started watching TV. Most I've seen once or twice before.

4 out of 5 stars Pretty close to original recordings.......2005-07-24

Definitely not as good as the originals. You'll probably notice the slight differences since it's stuff you saw and listened to every week or everyday in reruns growing up, but it's still an amazing collection.

5 out of 5 stars Great Folk Singers from The 60's.......2006-07-31

I'm writing this mostly for younger people and other people who may not know about Ian and Sylvia. If you've found this page consider it a very fortunate event in that you are on the thresh-hold of a very musically satisfying experience for yourself! Ian and Sylvia are both 5 Star performers separately----and together, I suppose I'd have to give 'em 10 stars!

One day I was in my dorm room at college in the 60's. I was "showing off" one of my operatic recordings to a young lady. On one of my recordings a tenor hit a high "C" and I said to her with some arrogance, "See, your folk singers can't do that!" The young lady smiled and said, "Well, maybe not but here's my favorite group and I like them just as much or even better than your opera arias." With that, we changed the record from opera to Ian and Sylvia. After one song I was "hooked" as we clapped our hands to the rhythm and melody of these two soaring voices, one coming from the left channel speaker and the other the right channel speaker, singing their hearts out with sincerity, dignity, and beauty.

Luckily there are still many Ian and Sylvia Albums out there on CD so you can buy any one of the albums and take a listen. I think you will be "hooked" on them as I was when I first heard them. Give Ian and Sylvia a listen---you won't be sorry! Email:boland7214@aol.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful.......2006-03-04

I love their albums. I'm glad someone mentioned John "Daddy Bones" Herald who was a fantastic guitar player. He killed himself last year. And Sylvia wrote a very touching notice on John's website which I thought was special.

This group was one of the best of the sixties.

5 out of 5 stars Powerful, beautiful.......2003-05-29

A powerful and beautiful CD.

Especially their version of Sylvia's "You were on my mind." Ian, lead guitar; John Herald, 2nd guitar; Sylvia, autoharp; Eric Weissberg, bass. The guitar work and her autoharp come through very well.

I think that their powerful version of Ian's "Some Day Soon" is very good. Much better than the sappy, lugubrious versions by others.

Also like the great sea chanteys and the fun "Captain Woodstock's Courtship."

5 out of 5 stars Ian & Sylvia's best harmony; John Herald's backup. Whew!.......2002-09-30

Reviewer D. Elayne Warren must have gotten a bad copy of this CD, by far Ian & Sylvia's best acoustic work. Because I'm listening to it on iTunes through a Mac G4 and Sony headphones, and the quality is so good it's scary, just what we expected from the Solomon brothers in the 1960s. "Northern Journey" is worth buying just to hear Ian & Sylvia's soaring a capella harmonies on "Texas Rangers" and John Herald's virtuouso guitar accompaniment on "Moonshine Can" and "Little Beggarman," but especially on "Four Rode by." Many critics believe it to be Herald's finest work, and who am I to disagree? Buy it. You'll like it.

5 out of 5 stars Five Stars just for John Herald.......2002-09-29

This is, in my opinion, Ian & Sylvia's best album, recorded at the apogee of their musical career (I'd rate "Early Morning Rain" as their second best). It's worth buying just to hear the virtuouso guitar backup by John Herald (formerly with the Greenbriar Boys) on "Four Rode By" and "Moonshine Can." His runs on "Four Rode By," flat picked, are absolutely, positively spellbinding. I put in on with the headphones, and listen to it again and again. Buy it!

The remarkable two-disc River of Song is the first of a stunning multimedia project (including a four-part PBS documentary, public-radio interviews, and book) on which an array of artists under the tutelage of director-curator Anthony Seeger give voice and share the lore of America's great Mississippi River. The musical journey is parceled into quadrants: from the Northern headwaters, slicing through Twain's heartland; snaking down into the Deep South; wending through Louisiana, where music is king; and culminating at its life-giving, life-taking mouth, the Gulf of Mexico. Prolonged visitation occurs in musical meccas Minneapolis, St. Louis, Memphis, and New Orleans, showcasing the abundant talent and distinct sound of each locale. River of Song celebrates not only the landscapes through which the water traverses but also the colorful cultures that have sprung from and thrive at her banks: Native American, Dutch, African-American, Cajun, and subcultures and hybrids of youth and religion, including indie-rock hipsters, heartland country rockers, Delta blues men, Mexican Dixieland jazz, and both black and white gospel musics from deep believers of faith. Much like driving the Natchez Trace, the journey is profoundly American--deeply affecting in providing not only a sense of the present but of our very roots. --Paige La Grone

Album Description

This two-hour, 36 track, musical journey down the Mississippi from the headwaters to the delta captures the power and diversity of American music in the late 20th century. The music, recorded between 1995 and 1997 in small towns and large cities along the river, reflects centuries of interaction and experimentation along America's great waterway. 48-page booklet.

I don't normally write reviews, but since this great CD set has no review currently, I thought I'd make an exception. If you are passing by I urge you to give these tracks a listen. You'll find blues, gospel, rock, and various other tpyes of ethnic music. I've yet to play this to anyone who didn't like it. It's fun, it's moving and it's a great buy. Check out "Hilda the red-headed Swede".

5 out of 5 stars This is a great CD.......2005-09-24

If you like new flamenco instrumental guitar music you will not be able to find anything better. Even after 100's of listens I'm still finding new sound and textures as well as some truly great guitar playing. I listen to this disk when I want to be transformed from my day to day life to some exotic place. Kind of a vacation without ever leaving my home. I would like to thank Laurence for his truly unique creation.

5 out of 5 stars Totally Amazing, Moving........2005-05-23

It is one of the best new flamenco/neo classical Cds I own.
A friend was playing Laurence's music while we were enjoying dinner. I was totally captivated. There were many moods projected in the music and some serious guitar playing of superb quality. I love the fact that it can just be on in the background or you can listen intensely to his music. I can't wait for his second release.
