Product Description
Johnny Warman had followed up the worldwide success of the album Walking Into Mirrors, a Top 10 Hit single in Australia 'Screaming Jets' with the album From The Jungle To The New Horizons in 1982 but before that commercially successful period he had signed to Ringo Records owned by one Richard Starkey aka Ringo Starr. He here was in Ringo's new studio at Titenhurst Park, Berkshire, England (the very same white room where John Lennon recorded Imagine) during 1978 recording Hour Glass. The world was his oyster. Never before released on CD comes the album Hour Glass which has now been remastered, 8 bonus tracks (7 live) never before released and comprehensive and informative sleeve notes from Johnny himself. Angel Air. 2005.

For parents, listening to Dan Zanes provides not only instant Raffi relief, but also the warm sense of belonging to the right crowd. On each disc he trots out a posse of cool friends like Sheryl Crow, Suzanne Vega, and Lou Reed and he delivers his openhearted lyrics with the rare roots-rocker's gift for stirring grace into grit. It would seem that the release of his fourth record, House Party would be ripe for a backlash--how long can the hokey conceit of a bunch of aging groovsters banging out kids' tunes in a Brooklyn basement hang onto its charm? Looks like we'll have to wait and see, because House Party rages on with the same winning, welcome-to-our-homespun-revolution vibe as its predecessors. Deborah Harry takes a twirl on "Waltzing Matilda," Bob Weir fires up the "Wabash Cannonball," and Angelique Kidjo bids "Jamaica Farewell," but the Zanes originals are this record's proving grounds, and they pin the tail on the donkey with bulls-eye precision. Contributions from returning regulars Barbara Brousal and Rankin' Don--the best couple of favors a party could hope for--send Zanes' campaign to become the guy who turned lampshade-wearing into a kindergarten fashion craze soaring. --Tammy La Gorce

GREAT! Brings back lots of Memories.......2007-07-27

I purchased this CD for my baby and she and I love it! She loves the tunes and the songs bring back memories from my childhood. I would highly recommend this CD. It's fun and will have you singing along.

Great fun.......2007-07-25

My daughter loves this cd and it's grown on me too. She and I dance a lot to this. One favorite is the "Wabash Cannonball" and "Waltzing Matilda" with Debbie Harry is fantastic.

Dan's first album...Wiggle the Wiggles out of your CD Player.......2007-06-12

You may have seen Dan on various spots on Sesame Street, I first saw him in his yellow suit, singing Jump Up. This album continues the wonderful music that my daughter has turned my wife and my self on to. The beats are there, and the lyrics are very catchy.

So do yourself a favor, swap out Wiggles or Barney for Dan and his Friends, and enjoy kids music once again.

Thank goodness for Dan Zanes!!!!!!.......2007-05-21

Mr. Zanes, you could not have come along at a better time! In a market where Teletubbies, Barney and the Wiggles seem to have the corner, this parent-friendly album is a welcome relief from all the fruit salad/I love you, you love me/lemondrops and gumdrops drivel that permeate my mushy stay-at-home mom brain!

When I was a single college gal, I remember listening to very hip, fun music. Then came pregnancy and babies. Then Baby Einstein music (which is good, but sounds like someone's ballerina jewelry box after awhile), Barney, Sesame Street and nursery rhyme CDs that took over my music collection. Ack!!! What happened to me? I decided it was time to search for something new for me and the kids to listen to.

After finding this CD and loving it, I just assumed that my one-year-old and four-year-old would not like DZ because it sounded too different from what they were used to. Boy, was I wrong! My older one thinks she is listening to "cool music" -- which she is! We especially like the "Wabash Cannonball" but every song on here is a hit with my kids. The guy is truly talented, and it's just great stuff. And it's fun to hear the celeb singers on a kid's album. Finally, we all have "cool music" to listen to!

My daughters favorite!.......2007-05-14

I bought this CD since Dan Zane is on the Disney Channel. My daughter absolutely loves it! She asks to hear "House Party" all day every day. We dance and sing and it has brought a lot of fun into our house.

Worth it for historical rather than musical reasons........2003-08-23

Let me begin by saying that while any fan of R&B/Rock music would probably enjoy this album, the main reason to buy it is to check out the roots of The Allman Brothers Band.

Hour Glass was Gregg and Duane Allman's band prior to forming The Allman Brothers Band. This album, their second was released just one year prior to the formation of the A.B.B. Now while Gregg's vocal here are as good as anything he's ever done, Duane's guitar, though strong, is no where near where it would be just 2 years later when the Allmans first played the Fillmore East. Perhaps the most interesting part of the sound on this record, is what's missing. Hearing Gregg and Duane without Dickey Betts, Butch Trucks, Jaimoe, and Berry Oakley shows us the extreme amount of talent and style those 4 brought to the original Allmans line-up, and helps us understand that the decision to remain the Allman Brothers Band after there was only one Allman in the group was the right one. The A.B.B. was about much more than just Duane and Gregg Allman; Hour Glass was not.

Found Some Good Gospel Bluegrass.......2005-08-11

This was released "way back" in 1991, so I was not sure what I would find. Anyways, I was pleasantly surprised and out of the 24 songs, there were 9 that I gave 5 stars and downloaded to my MP3 player. That's a pretty good average for a single CD! Many of the selections were unique in that they were not "new" versions of old songs.

Old timey songs of faith.......2004-05-02

I pulled "Stained Glass Hour" off a dusty shelf for the first time in years, recently. I'd forgotten just how special this CD is. I consider a compilation CD good if it has four or five keeper tracks, excellent with eight to ten. I find an astonishing 15 out of the 24 songs here worth a trip out to my mp3 player.

I can't help but tap my foot and join in on the choruses of the infectious bluegrass bounce of J.D. Crowe & The New South on "Crying Holy", the Bluegrass Cardinals on "Journey to My Savior's Side", and the Bluegrass Album Band's "Talk It Over With Him". There's also quiet, thoughtful witnessing for those in spiritual crisis in Boone Creek's "Drifting Too Far From the Shore". Another highlight is the plaintive, unadorned vocals balanced with Allen Shelton's beautiful banjo line in "Here Today, Gone Tomorrow"; Hazel Dickens reminds us that life and its earthly blessings are brief and fleeting, but the eternal beacon of the Promised Land can guide us through the rocky shoals. Two special favorites of mine among the many other gems found here: the crystal clear four-part harmony of the Johnson Mountain Boys in the rapture song, "Shouting in the Air" and the aching vocal blend of Ricky Skaggs and friends in "Talk About Sufferin'" Different media drive the message home to different worshippers: for me, friends, any one of these songs carries more weight than a half hour sermon from the pulpit!

This CD has my highest recommendation for fans of traditional gospel, bluegrass or old-timey music. You will surely find several special tracks to call your own.

Stained Glass Hour: Bluegrass and Old-Timey Gospel Music.......2003-03-24

This is an excellent selection of original and heart warming songs. You will be spiritually blessed listening to these. The artists are absolutely superb! Highly recommended!

Album Description

This album is a celebration of The Dale Warland Singers' specialty - modern American works. The Dale Warland Singers are America's pre-eminent choral ensemble and winners of a 2003 Grammy nomination. This is their newest recording, released just after their final concert on May 30, 2004, signaling the retirement of their founder and director, Dale Warland. Featured are modern choral masterworks by Ives, Barber, Fine, Avshalomov, and Finney.

Based in Minneapolis/St. Paul, The Dale Warland Singers are recognized as one of the world's foremost a cappella choral ensembles. This 40-voice professional choir is currently celebrating its 31st and final season of concerts, tours, radio broadcasts, and critically acclaimed recordings. In 1992, The Dale Warland Singers became the first-ever recipient of ASCAP's Margaret Hillis Achievement Award for Choral Excellence. The ensemble has also appeared on Garrison Keillor's original A Prairie Home Companion show and performed regularly on Public Radio International's Saint Paul Sunday. Its annual Echoes of Christmas and Cathedral Classics broadcasts reach listeners nationwide.

The Dale Warland Singers have commissioned and performed an astounding 270 works in 31 years - more new choral music, in fact, than any other classical music organization in the country. In total, more than 150 notable composers have worked with The Dale Warland Singers. In this final season alone, The Dale Warland Singers premiered 16 new works by 14 American composers.

The booklet contains extensive notes on The Dale Warland Singers and their music.

A definite for choral conductors........2005-09-26

I would not recommend this CD for people who are new to choral music, but it is definitely a valuable addition to the collection of any professional in the choral field. The performances as well as the recording quality are every bit what one would expect from this extraordinary ensemble. The major highlights on this recording, to me, are the Barber pieces and the Ives.

Customer Reviews:

dreadful.......2003-11-25

That's how Duane described it---"dreadful". It is truly lame. I'm surprised Gregg didn't buy every outstanding copy and burn them. I would imagine that it's pretty embarrassing to listen to for him.

A Spotty Beginning.......2000-06-11

This disc was better than I expected. "Out of the Night" and "Nothing but Tears" are passable blue-eyed deep soul cuts (although if that's what you're looking for, check out Dan Penn/Spooner Oldham). Once you get past the soul tunes, the material gets spotty and finally, really weak, until by "Bells," you've entered laughable Vanilla Fudge territory (and according to the liner notes, Gregg thought so too). The album was mostly a Gregg vehicle; you wouldn't know that the same Duane Allman that a year later would go to Muscle Shoals and steal shows from the likes of Wilson Pickett is even in this band! You could wonder what this album would have sounded like if it had been recorded at Fame or American, but it wasn't. Pick it up only if you're a true Allmans fanatic, you can't stand not hearing it, and you can't find it used.
