5 out of 5 stars Hey all the way.....we run everyday.......2007-05-28

Served 4 years in the Army and it brings back so many memories from basic training,AIT and perm duty station.Very motivating....especially if you remember that last two miles and you heard the cadence "Going home.." somehow it gave an additional "umph" to continue and not fall out of the run.

"Double-Time!!"

4 out of 5 stars Does it's job.......2007-01-09

Put it on my MP3 player for running. It did the job, keeping me at a steady pace. I highly recommend it. It was motivating and often funny. What would be my ideal? Cadence set to motivating music with a steady pace and no dips or pauses.

4 out of 5 stars Airborne!.......2006-04-07

Brings back sureal memories. Made me want to find some old friends. Great for running. You can almost feel like you're there again.

5 out of 5 stars Run to Cadence W the U.S. Army Airborne.......2006-04-07

This CD is a great for working out. It reminds me of m "glory" days while at airborne school and motivates me to work harder. Its provides an almost surreal experience as you can visualize running in formation four abreast.

YOU: "I don' know, but I think I might!"

YOU: "Jump from an aircraft while in flight!"

RUN TO CADENCE provides an interesting, exhilarating way to hear how Airborne trainees spend time:
"Run me now, run me now, run me some more, hey!"

This recording is a creative, exciting, diverse array of clever cadence calls; many are sheer genius, potential material for #1-selling Country, Rock, Hip-Hop, Blues, R&B or Rap tunes. More on this later.

The PURPOSE of RUN TO CADENCE, originally produced on cassette in 1979 and now on CD, was TO PROVIDE A DOCUMENTARY of the various types of cadence calls or "Jodie Calls" heard during U. S. Army Airborne training operations, taped at Ft. Benning, Georgia. It perfectly fulfills its mission, providing a record for posterity while bringing honor to itself, to those responsible for producing it, and to those whose voices are heard on it.

The fact that the real-life soldiers on the recording were chided a number of times for not sounding off (not unlike software developers and office workers need to be, who neglect their families and their physical health to spend 20+ hours a week playing video games, surfing the Internet and overeating) illustrates rather strongly that this was not some orchestrated and slick marketing attempt focused on generating sales. It was produced as a simple snippet of sounds with military, cultural and historical significance.

Soldiers will be chided for not sounding off, even if they broke every eardrum within the maximum range of a 155mm Howitzer. Drill sergeants have to get in your face no matter what. They have to break soldiers down, you understand, then build them up the right way -- the military way. Their survival and yours depends on that.

RUN TO CADENCE give a precise, colorful, realistic glimpse into the preparation of our elite Airborne troops, much the same as the first portion of the Stanley Kubrick film "Full Metal Jacket" (available here at Amazon.com) with the outstanding R. Lee Ermey playing the role of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman.

The intended audience is anyone interested in military history or drill sergeants singing calls. While this field production is not meant to inspire you, it's GREAT for running at a rhythmic pace and going the distance with your mind on the rhyming, not on the running. Ladies, order RUN TO CADENCE today, bring it to your next aerobics, Tae-Boe® or StairMaster® class for a real treat. Start slow, pick it up, double time! Keep in mind that the best motivation comes from within the self -- if you think inspiration comes from somewhere out here, you may as well just have another SuperSized McMeal, yes, indeed.

Let's face it, there's nothing like a good drill instructor (D.I.) yelling in your ear from time to time -- especially for you slackers in the back like Private Pyle. Enjoy it, smile and have a good time counting your blessings because the D.I. will not be yelling at you personally. RUN TO CADENCE is a cross-sectional variety of dozens of cadence calls featuring several D.I.s. That's really it in a nutshell the size of a watermelon.

Earlier I alluded to the potential for great hit song lyrics found in military cadence calls. In fact, I'm surprised that no musical artist has caught on to this yet, and I humbly predict and do hereby sincerely prophesy that within a few months of this writing, someone will, in one of the popular musical formats, feature cadence calls in a song, and, mark my words, the song will rise to the top echelon of the charts. Here's one example, suitable for a great Country song:
"Coonskin And Alligator Hide!"
"Make a pair of jump boots, just the right size!"
"Shine `em up, lace `em up, put `em on your feet!"
"Spit shined jump boots can't be beat!"

I can personally attest to the legitimacy of this documentary as accurately described in the RUN TO CADENCE liner notes. As an announcer and broadcast professional, I am quite familiar with the methods used to record and produce this vital slice of Americana and also witnessed first-hand the type of training runs used in its creation. The Airborne had already been at Ft. Benning for nearly 20 years when, in the early 1960s, my father was chosen to assist in laying the groundwork for the start up the 11TH AIR ASSUALT DIVISION (TEST), oh, the good old days!

Yes, you're right, very good, the 11TH AAD is the same unit featured in "We Were Soldiers Once", the Mel Gibson movie on DVD and VHS available here at Amazon.com.

The 11TH AAD was formed to develop battlefield strategies for use of troops with helicopters. On days when the folks would shop at the Commissary, my brother Robert and I would sit below magnolia, oak and pine trees, watching the Airborne trainees learn the ropes on the jump towers across the street. The D.I.s would bring their troops past and RUN TO CADENCE.

Lots of troops were there, including Airborne wanna-bees, Special Forces "Green Berets", Advanced Infantry Training group and of course the regular infantry, known for sporting that blue shield with the white sword FOLLOW ME patch.

For these and many more reasons, this production of RUN TO CADENCE gets the highest possible Five-Star rating. It is absolutely the best. And now, it's YOUR turn. Check out this fantastic array of actual troops running to cadence. With RUN TO CADENCE from Amazon.com, you can't go wrong.

4 out of 5 stars Worth the Money.......2007-03-08

If you enjoy running to cadence, this is a good buy, They are easy to understand and help get you pumped up for a good run. The cadences don't flow from one to the next as smoothly as I would like but still rythmic. A good buy.

4 out of 5 stars Motivated.......2007-01-30

This CD kept me motivated while running, but it could have been a little more upbeat.

4 out of 5 stars Good CD to run to........2006-08-20

Like the first CD, but the mixing is much better quality. I don't remember having to adjust step to keep up with the rhythm. The cadences are not as good on this, but if you don't mind the lack of creativity and rhyming ability of a few of the drill sergeants, go for it. Overall, another great CD to run with.

4 out of 5 stars Gets the job done.......2005-07-20

I bought this to prepare myself for joining the army. This CD has a very upbeat pace that was difficult to follow at first, but after a few weeks i can get two miles done in 15 minutes. This CD is not for the faint of heart. If you are joining up and need to get in shape fast then use this. It helped me score am 89 on my PT score for the run and that was after not running for 2 months.

5 out of 5 stars GREAT.......2003-08-22

THIS IS A KICK*SS CD. THE RANGERS CD IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE MARINES BUY THIS ONE YOU WON'T REGRET IT.

Album Description

Forty-two minutes of Spirit, Tradition, and Motivation!

Here are the favorite marching cadences of the Airborne & Infantry.

In the motivating oral traditions of military cadences, each caller employs his own distinct style and lyrics. This collection reflects that rich, informal diversity... every cadence wonderfully unique.

All cadences were recorded on location with drill instructors and trainees at Fort Benning, Georgia.

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars The vinyl version is better.......2006-02-19

This is the film version, and it is inferior to the original album release. Often times, soundtrack releases differed from their film versions because composers could tweak passages here and there and get a relaxex, dedicated recording, away from the harsh deadlines of film making. The result was often glorious, as was the case for Jerry Goldsmith's Patton.

Add the famous George C. Scott speeches as prologue and epilogue and you have a classic. But only on vinyl. The vinyl version has better audio quality and is a better performance. It is a shame we are stuck with this dubbed version, which ironically is available on the Patton DVD as well.

4 out of 5 stars Do some research!.......2006-01-14

This is a great CD for collectors. This is the ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK to the film. These arrangements are the ones that were ACTUALLY USED in the film, NOT the ones that were on the album with the speeches. So, if you are looking for the opening and closing speeches, you won't find them here.
Why?
Because there are actually THREE different versions of the score for this FANTASTIC film.
There was another version conducted by Jerry Goldsmith in 1997.
And.... there was ANOTHER one that was recorded in 1970. THAT is the one with the speeches. As far as I know, it has NEVER been released on CD. Hopefully, at some point, someone will see fit to release that version. Personally, I feel those are the best arrangements of the music used in the film. Or, better yet, make a special edition using all 3 versions.
So, you should be HAPPY to have THIS version as well.
By the way, I believe this info is in the liner notes of this CD.

1 out of 5 stars Missed oportunity!.......2006-01-06

While I can appreciate that this release is a very competent recreation of the musical content of the original vinyl, I too was totally dismayed at the absence of Patton's speeches(as delivered by George C Scott) which are virtually inseparable from the music for anyone who owned the original vinyl release.All of which subsequently leaves this release a rather hollow experience.

5 out of 5 stars Two classic scores!.......2005-11-22

This cd includes Frank DeVol's score for the Robert Aldrich classic, "Flight of the Phoenix"; an exciting score for an equally exciting movie. Goldsmith's justifiably famous score for Patton features the original recordings, including the haunting "echoplexed" trumpets. Also, the previous reviewer's one-star rating is rather inexplicable considering this is FILM SCORE release. Why would soundbites from the film be included? Bizarre. All-in-all a great package and a limited edition (only 3,000 copies). Get yours while you can - you won't be disappointed!

1 out of 5 stars Missing the Best .......2005-06-25

This album does not have Patton's opening speech or the closing "All Glory is Fleeting" speech. It misses the two most important segments of the original soundtrack.

3 out of 5 stars Nothing wrong with this music.......2007-02-09

There are a good number of "purists" out there who believe on the 8th day God created Gram Parsons. Parsons was , in my opinion, over rated. Not that he wasn't good at what he did, he just wasn't the inventor of country influenced rock n' roll that some think he was. Many of these Parsonites
could never see the validity of a Burrito Brothers without him. I've never understood this reasoning. How could there be a Byrds without Gene Clark or David Crosby? Could Genesis survive without Peter Gabriel or the Who without Moon? Of course they could, and did. And the Burritos picked up and carried on without Parsons or Hillman. They should have been given a chance. There's a good deal of good music on FLYING AGAIN and AIRBORNE that was never given a chance and was unjustly overlooked. I had these two on vinyl and kept hoping for a CD to come out, and it did! Yay.
Don't overlook this music. It's honest, it's real , it's made by very good, sincere musicians with a great deal of talent. My favorites are Building Fires, Desert Childhood, and Jesus Broke the Wild Horse. Good stuff. I do think it's interesting that the original Burritos contained the original Byrds Bass player (Hillman) and drummer (Mike Clarke) and the resurrected mid-seventies version contained the latter day Byrds bass player (Skip Battin) and drummer (Gene Parsons). Interesting, and interesting music.

4 out of 5 stars Version 2.0.......2006-08-09

Make no mistake -- the Flying Burrito Brothers versions 2.0 and 2.1 were not in the same league as the first incarnation of the Flying Burrito Bros. Burritos 1.x were musical pioneers, guided by two genuine musical visionaries, Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman.

In the mid-1970s, a couple years after the original Burritos disbanded, interest in the group was renewed by Emmylou Harris's emergence as a country superstar, frequently covering Parsons's Burrito-era hits.

Steel guitarist Sneeky Pete Kleinow formed the new group, and he was certainly as entitled as anyone to use the name -- he being a key architect of the Burrito's steel-driven arrangements. Original bassist Chris Etheridge was also enlisted, along with Vocalist Joel Scott Hill came over from Canned Heat, Gene Parsons from the latter-day Byrds (though Gene Parsons is a credible musician, one must assume the prospect of having original tunes attributed to "G. Parsons" had something to do with earning a spot in the band). Gib Guilbeau was a cajun musician long in Kleinow's orbit.

The first two releases bore little resemblence to the Burrito sound, but they were well-produced albums and can be described as entertaining country/rock.

These two albums are packaged here for the first time on CD. Had the band chosen a different name, its lot may have been different. Certainly, they were no worse (or better) than albums by bands like New Riders of the Purple Sage, Commander Cody and even the reconstituted Byrds, which received more kindly. But, given the rock press's protectiveness of Gram Parsons and his legacy, these releases were greeted with critical hostility. Flying Again was put out in 1975, and its closing track, "Hot Burrito #3," inevitably invited comparisons to Gram Parsons's first two "Hot Burrito" compositions. Those were classics, "#3" is mere pretending.

The rest of the first album is a mix of country soul (highlighted by two originals by Dan Pann). Hill proves to be an adept lead vocalist on these cuts. Country rockers like "Bon Soir Blues" and a couple of country covers round out the album.

By the time the second record, Airborne, was released a year leader, the band already began losing members (Skip Battin replacing Chris Etheridge). The second album suffers from some strange choices (a reggae version of John Prine's "Quiet Man" and a guest shot by stevie Wonder on his "She's a Sailor"). The group already sounds like it's running out of steam.

After Airborne, Columbia dropped the band, and Kleinow and Guilbeau would spend the next two decades anchoring an evolving cast of b-players from the SoCal country/rock scene, releasing albums under the Burrito monicker every year or two. Which wouldn't be so bad, except that as the band moved further away from Gram Parsons's original vision, it began to evoke his imagery more and more. Ultimately, the charges that the latter day Burritos were merely trading on the reputation Parsons built came true.

Still, for what they are, these two albums are fine bits of 1970s country rock, and contain some tasty Kleinow steel solos. None of the Burritos albums released after these are worth your consideration.

4 out of 5 stars These albums are great........2006-08-06

Ok, all you 'anything w/o Gram Parsons sucks' music fans, move along; this cd is not for you. Now any of you Cajun Gib & Gene fans out there besides me: this is finally on cd for the first time. I don't know too much of the context here, I just know that Sneaky Pete and Chris Etheridge were getting the band back together following a couple of year hiatus following Chris Hillman's departure. Gene Parsons was available since Clarence White's death put their tour on the skids. Maybe Gib Guilbeau was supposed to be a part of that, too. And I don't know who the hell Joel Scott Hill is, but he's pretty swell, too. I'd say the most significant strength of this lineup is that they just play really well together. The ensemble of instruments, steel guitar in particular, just sounds great.
Flying Again:
Easy to Get On: great country tune with nice licks from Sneaky Pete
Wind and Rain: incredible song penned by Gib and Gene, sung by J.S. Hill who does a nice job, but there is a different mix with Gene singing on the out of print Kinding Collection; find it.
Why Baby Why: nice cover here with Gib singing
Dim Lights: great cover of this tune, faster than the Gram lineup version
You Let the Water Running: great cover of a pretty good Dan Penn tune
Building Fires: amazing cover of another Dan Penn tune; you need to hear this to believe it
Sweet Desert Childhood: Gene Parsons just proving that he's the most underrated voice in country music
Bon Soir Blues: another highlight, classic Gib here
River Road: nice country tune by Gib
Hot Burrito #3: Hmmm...

Airborne: (Chris Etheridge replaced by Skip Battin')
Out of Control: fantastic country rocker by Gib & Gene, as always Sneaky Pete really shines here
Waitin' For Loce to Begin: nice country ballad
Toe Tappin' Music: one of the better Airborne tracks, great country romp by Gib
Quiet Man: very strange reggae cover of my favorite John Prine song; doesn't quite fit in, but somebody should be covering this song. nice choice by Skip
Northbound Bus: I don't know where Gene dug this song up, but it's pure magic
Big Bayou: average country rocker from Gib
Walk on the Water: Nice country ballad
Linda Lu: Ehh
Border Town: another nice country ballad
She's a Sailor: good Stevie Wonder cover
Jesus Broke the Wild Horse: another nice country ballad

As you can see, the second album is more uneven. But the highs are pretty high (Out of Control, Toe Tapppin' Music, Northbound Bus) and the nusicianship is top notch throughout both albums. Get it while it's still in print!

Customer Reviews:

2 out of 5 stars Good, but not his best.......2007-01-06

His best work is on the Heavy Metal sound track.

2 out of 5 stars Not like an eagles album.......2006-01-04

If you have listened to a lot of eagles stuff, you'll notice a couple things. A. Don Felder is a HELL of a guitarists, and B. his vocals are mostly in the harmonies.
Airborne still has that really good guitar. But the guitar does not cut this album, after the first two minutes you'll realize that you really didn't care that there is great guitar. Felders underproduced sometimes pitchy vocals are somewhat annoying.
The album is produced awfully and things simply aren't mixed well. There are no stand out songs and evrything sounds the same. There is a lot of synthetic instruments playing so the album is pretty dated.
The album has it's moments, and I feel that most eagles fans would like adding this sick rarity almost inaccessible CD to you're collection, but this disc sounds nothing like the eagles and really has no point.

5 out of 5 stars Typical Don Felder.......2003-03-22

That's right it's typical Don Felder! Which of course means it's great! This entire album has the same flavor as one of the coolest rock songs ever. Don's big contribution to the Heavy Metal soundtrack "Heavy Metal(Takin' A Ride)" It truly reflects in such songs as " Bad Girls" which most Mtv fanatics from the Eighties would know the video featured Cheech Marin of Cheech and Chong fame. Then there's the song "Never Surrender" which also features Kenny Loggins on vocals which makes the song sound very commercial but it's one of those that you'll continually hum just out of the blue. Most of the album has this flavor to it. I played the heck out of this tape when I had it and wore it out. Now it's on cd and I recommend it to anyone who collects cds. It's a must have!

4 out of 5 stars Once a fan, always a fan.......2000-02-09

Being slightly disappointed by "Lovechild" and "Second album", I wondered if I should buy another Curved Air record. Finally, I decided to get this one. Well, I have to say that this is a very good album, equally fine as their debut "Air conditioning". "Airborne" continues with the jazz-rock of "Midnight wire", but on a more melodic and less pretentious note. The playing of the band (once again featuring drummer Stewart Copeland who also co-wrote some songs) is tighter and more engaged. Without getting trite, the music flows like a well-oiled machine. The delicate pop song "Desiree" leaves you wallking on air for the rest of the day. Other standout tracks are "Kids to blame", "Hot and bothered", and "Baby please..", but everything here is good, even the 11-minute megawork "Moonshine". Unfortunately, this album failed to chart and Curved Air soon disbanded after its release.
