Change has been a constant in Chris Cornell's life since Soundgarden split in 1997. Sober and over 40 now, he lives in France with his wife and daughter. His first solo album (1999's Euphoria Morning) was lauded in the press, but disregarded by the public. And his supergroup Audioslave eventually fizzled after a trio of albums. But on Cornell's long-awaited sophomore solo effort, it's obvious something hasn't been altered: the voice, a distinguished instrument still pure and resonant--and authoritative enough to take on Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" and turn it from throbbing dancefloor anthem to portentous ballad. The unforeseen cover is sequenced midway through 14 tracks that have Cornell softening the edges of his music without losing the power of the messenger. No less than a half-dozen songs have hit potential, including "Arms Around Your Love," with its soaring chorus, the R&B-flecked "She'll Never Be Your Man," and "No Such Thing," where restrained verses give way to crunchy-riffed choruses. He uses the bluesy "Safe and Sound" to call for peace, asking "Why can't we pull it together?" Ten years after the breakup of his pioneering band, Chris Cornell has done just that, and it's evident that the change has done him good. --Scott Holter

Album Description

Carry On is the 13th album by two-time Grammy winner, singer-songwriter and voice of a generation, Chris Cornell. Steered by Grammy Award-winning British super- producer Steve Lillywhite (U2, Rolling Stones, Morrissey, Dave Matthews Band), Carry On is a mature and content departure from the acrimonious artist who brought us Soundgarden, Audioslave and Temple of the Dog.

The new album's fourteen tracks offer the bluesy and soulful "Safe and Sound," psychedelic "Scar On The Sky," country-flavored "Finally Forever"... paeans to persistence in "Disappearing Act" and a slow-grind cover of Michael Jackson's "Billy Jean" that gives the familiar song a completely new feeling. More personal selections include "Ghost," "Arms Around Your Love" and "She'll Never Be Your Man" and alt-rock experimentations ("Killing Birds" the anthemic "Silence the Voices"). Fans of Soundgarden and Audioslave will appreciate the harder edge of "No Such Thing" and "Poison Eye" and the redemptive "Your Soul Today."

Carry On also includes the Top 10 European smash hit "You Know My Name," the main title song for the current James Bond theatrical release, Casino Royale, appearing for the first time on a full-length release. Cornell wrote and recorded the track with long-time James Bond composer David Arnold for the film.

With this collection of songs, it is evident that Cornell was inspired by songwriters from Elvis Costello to Tom Waits. Cornell says that his own lyrical approach leans on stream-of-consciousness, "getting out of my own way" to allow themes to naturally arise, whether topical or biographical. "The most exciting thing is to let yourself expose your true, vulnerable feelings, which is what resonates with people most," he explains. As far as his vocal style, he points to such R&B singers as Otis Redding and Aretha Franklin for showing masterfully how emotion can best be conveyed, even in subtle phrasing, also praising Bob Marley's expressive range and Tom Waits' use of his voice as an instrument.

Customer Reviews:

It grows on you.......2007-08-05

When I first heard this album, I nearly threw it out my car window for being so terrible. I remember swearing to never buy another Chris Cornell solo album again.

Well, I gave it another chance........I listened to it about 10 times, and I get it. It's actually very good. It grew on me, big time. If you listen closely, there are a few segments in a few songs that sounded like what Soundgarden would be like if they were still a band.

Get it and give it a chance. Forcefeed it on yourself by listening to it straight through a bunch of times. You'll like it. If you give it one listen, skipping through songs trying to find some instant magic, then you'll be disappointed.

dissappointing.......2007-08-03

Cornell is an incredible vocalist, but this album is a let down. He needs soundgarden.

Chris delivers again.......2007-08-01

I love the sound of Chris Cornell's voice. If you are expecting this CD to sound like his Sound Garden or AudioSlave stuff, you won't necessarily like this. If you are die hard Chris Cornell fan, this is good stuff.

Its different.......2007-07-29

Don't buy this cd expecting the normal temple of the dogs, sound garden or audio slave style of chris. He has taken a new direction, and although i am sure the music is well written and the lyrics are par, its not my kind of music. There is about three good songs and the rest I could push the skip button for. He does a cover of Billy Jean that I just didn't enjoy although live was much better. If your hard core chris fan, you'll probably want this cd but otherwise I would just burn it from your friend.

Call Me a Dog.......2007-07-21

My favorite song from Temple of the Dog was "Call me a Dog" and this album reminds me of that same song. All the tracks are not hard rock but instead are little more relaxed. If you like easy listening with a blues type of feel to it then you should get this. I was not disappointed with this album.

Customer Reviews:

Take it for what it is........2007-03-03

While good in its' own right, you have to look at this item for what it really is... A "Greatest Hits" of sorts that was manufactured for the European and Australian markets with many of the tracks represented by outtake versions and alternate mixes. If you already have the CSN box set (the "box") there's nothing much for you here unless you are a completist. If you don't own the "box", aren't a completist, or are a "casual fan" there are better choices.

If you are a "casual fan" you'll want both "So Far" AND "The Greatest Hits" as there are no tracks with Neil Young performing with the group on "The Greatest Hits" selection and "So Far" is one of the few CDs with "Ohio" among the track list.

Most others would be satisfied with "Crosby, Stills, and Nash", "Deja Vu", "CSN" (The single CD), and this set for its' handful of rarities, unless you can't stand "alternate tracks".

If you want alternate/rare/unreleased tracks to go with your collection the "box" is a better choice.

If all you are looking for is the studio version of "Chicago/We Can Change the World" then it's this, the CSN "Box", or "The '60s: Original NBC Motion Picture Soundtrack" (which is OOP) as this song was only released as a single and currently appears nowhere else on CD.

If you are a completist, why are you still reading?

Good But Deceiving.......2007-01-21

I grew up with this band and was 16 when their first album was released in 1969. They are one of my favorites and no doubt their music (not their drug-laden personal lives) has influenced my lifelong perspectives on relationships, politics, etc. I would dearly love to have a 2 CD set of their best ORIGINAL songs that are remastered, but sadly this 2-CD set does not come close to fitting the bill because of all the alternate versions.

If I were marketing a 2-CD best of I'd have dedicated Disc 1 to their first 2 albums - 1969's CS&N and 1970's CSN&Y. If you include all but "Pre-Road Downs", "Country Girl" and "Everybody I love You", the other 17 songs from these first 2 albums would easily fit onto 1 CD with several minutes left over. Throw in "Ohio", the shorter acoustic version of "Cowgirl in the Sand" and "Find the Cost of Freedom" from the 4-Way Street album and you've got an incredible first CD.

The second CD can be devoted to the best from the other CSN albums, as well as some solo or duo efforts from the rest of their works. Musts would be "Just a Song Before I Go", "Dark Star", and "Cathedral" (from CS&N 1977), "Southern Cross", "Wasted On the Way", "Daylight Again" and "Delta" (from 1982's Daylight Again), "Got It Made" and "Soldiers of Peace" (from 1988's American Dream), and "Yours and Mine", "Haven't We Lost Enough", and "After the Dolphin" (from 1990's Live It Up). Live It Up was not a very good CD but these 3 songs are fantastic.

I'd add some of the better solo songs of each artist including Crosby's "Laughing", "Music Is Love", and "Tracks In The Dust", Still's "Change Partners", "Love the One You're With", and "Dear Mr. Fantasy", and Nash's "Chicago/Change the World", "Wild Tales", and "Immigration Man". I'd end it with the studio version of "Find the Cost of Freedom" that is on this current 2 CD set.

There you'd have an incredible 2-CD collection with NO ALTERNATE VERSIONS! Now why can't the marketers release something like this? It's a no-brainer and is what I suspect most who are intersted in this group would want. The new 1 CD greatest hits (2005) partially accomplishes this but this group is too great to have only a 1 CD compilation (I have the same gripe about Neil Young's new 1 CD greatest).

But I'm just the idiot customer that will now probably buy the remastered version of all the original albums so I can make my own 2-CD compilation. And that's just what they want me to do!!

This CD, with all the alternate versions, is interesting for those who might have all the originals, but is woefully inadequate if you only want one definitive 2-CD collection of their best. For that reason, I can't give it more than 3 stars.

((((BEWARE)))) NOT WHAT IT CLAIMS TO BE !.......2007-01-17

This isn't the excellent collection it appears to be. There are TWELVE alternate versions (demos) in this collection. That would be fine, if they had said this anywhere on the outside packaging, BUT THEY DIDN'T.

So now I'm stuck with an expensive double cd of demos songs I cannot stand because they don't sound like the versions I wanted, and because they remind me of how much I want to throw this at Graham Nash's head. Shame on you Nash!!!

Also, as another reviewer said, the sound quality is less than stellar. With music of this (potential) quality, you should not waste your money on inferior versions and inferior mastering.

A Great Compilation, But One Song Noticably Absent.......2006-08-18

I too, much like a previous reviewer, bought this for the original version of "Chicago/We Can Change the World." I have to say that I was extremely pleased and satisfied with the copious song selection, but upon further review of the track listing, I realized one glaring omission: "Deja Vu." I was honestly surprised that nobody else noted this in any of the reviews that I read, but I think it's worth noting that the very track that starts their 1974 primer compilation, "So Far," not being included in this set is a little displeasing. But no matter, for I am content to have the group's 1970 seminal release by the same name which features said track; one of their most complex and intricate arrangements, and a song that for many defined CSNY's signature harmonious stylings. Still, an otherwise great anthology by a timeless quartet. Glad to hear--and see--them still rocking in all their glory even now in 2006!

Worst purchase I've made for CSN.......2005-08-07

This 2 CD album, which is rated 4.5 stars by many people is actually one of my WORST purchases! The audio quality is poor, the selections sound like they came right off the Woodstock stage ... if you like it "rough cut" this album is for you. But for me it was a total waste of money. Can't believe the high stars for this one ... it makes one wonder about the review process ... doubt I'll trust it in the future.

This is a definitive best-of from the scathingly satiric, invariably tuneful band that arose from the ashes of The Housemartins. Sadly, Paul Heaton and friends have always been too twee and clever for the colonies, though classics like "My Book" and "Old Red Eyes Is Back" deserved better. A lovely, sing-along new track, "One Last Love Song," sounds like a farewell to arms, while the limited-edition disc of B sides proves that only XTC can match them in terms of high-caliber throwaways. --Jeff Bateman

Customer Reviews:

Another good product of British Pop & Rock... Get it!.......2006-10-26

If you like British Pop & Rock in the style of Al Stewart, 10cc and even Cliff Richard, try The Beautiful South. I don't know much about the musical background of these guys, but they make pretty Pop music. "Carry On Up The Charts" is an American-made compilation of their greatest hits, but certainly is a good one.

Criminally Underappreciated.......2006-05-18

I love The Beautiful South and this album includes almost all of their best songs. If you're new to this band, this is the collection to start out with, you'll probably also want to add Solid Bronze. Eight of the songs in these albums overlap, but listeners who are turned off by the tweeness of Song for Whoever, My Book, or I need a Little Time, will probably appreciate the somewhat softer irreverence of Rotterdam, Perfect 10 and Dont Marry Him Have Me.

Most yanks like myself are not familiar with this band, because they recieve no radio play. I was introduced to them by a dear friend and have been hooked ever since. The catchiness of ther melodies are unmatched. Their cover work of Everybody's Talkin and Dream a Little Dream are better than the originals. This is a band with members that can actually sing and juxtapose beautiful music with witty social commentary.

Music Magic.......2005-10-26

a suberb band with a message and music that won't make you run screaming from the room, more please

the band that should've been huge (in the u.s.).......2005-10-11

we americans are often about as bright as alaska in january, and the fact that the beautiful south is criminally ignored here in the united states only further cements that feeling. and that's maybe the reason the beautiful south never caught on in the u.s.

perhaps the beautiful south were just too clever. perhaps it was paul heaton's savage lyrics wrapped around pleasant and pretty sounding melodies. maybe it was because the beautiful south put out their best stuff during the age when kurt cobain and co. ruled the charts. whatever the case may be, the beautiful south penned some of the most beautiful, sad, funny, and original songs i've ever heard.

it's difficult to describe the beautiful south's sound. it's not 'easy listening,' it's not 'adult contemporary,' it's not 'jazzy,' it's not 'indie.' they're one of those bands who just write solid songs with memorable melodies and lyrics. and 'carry on up the charts...' showcases just about all the band's greatest 'hits' and singles. for the newbie, all the essentials are here: song for whoever, i'll sail this ship alone, we are each other, 36D, a little time, etc. paul heaton has an impeccable gift for melody and never it is more evident than on tracks like 'we are each other.' the call and response between paul and brianna is just a whole lot of fun. there's hardly a beautiful south song that once in your head you won't hum for days.

that 'carry on up the charts' was a runaway success in the u.k. shouldn't come as any surprise to anyone who gives the band a listen. and if you've not heard the beautiful south yet, do yourself a favor and buy a ticket. you'll be glad you did.

The definitive best of .......2005-04-12

Hats off to inventiveness, but The Beautiful South began to go adrift after "Miaow". If you could capture the band's signature sound, "Carry Up the Charts" would be the way to do it.

I could gush over so many songs, but my definitive favorite is the piano tinged "Let Love Speak Up Itself". It's impossible to not hum along with "Good as Gold" and "Prettiest Eyes".

The combination of intelligent lyrics, the influence of Paul Heaton's former group The Housemartins, the wonderful female vocals (Brianna Corrigan and later Jacqui Abbot) and British wit make this a terrific pop CD.

A personal favorite.

Peter, Paul and Mary weren't the first folk group to scale the music charts in the early 1960s, but they were far and away the most commercially successful. Carry It On is a four-CD (plus one DVD) box set that gathers all of their hits, along with generous helpings of rarities, B-sides, and previously unreleased songs. Although they had a magical vocal sound, a camera-ready image, and strong songwriting chops of their own, perhaps the trio's greatest strength was their ability to recognize outstanding songs from then-unknown composers. They were the first major group to cover songs by Bob Dylan, Gordon Lightfoot, Laura Nyro, John Denver, and Tom Paxton, which helped introduce the work of these songwriters to a wider audience. Carry It On is a worthy testament to the legendary group that proved you could make a career out of singing songs of social protest, ancient ballads, modern heartbreak, and even magic dragons, as long as you did so with sincerity, humor, and gorgeous three-part harmonies. --Michael John Simmons

Remember .......2007-05-14

This is an absolutely great CD. it has most of the songs that PP&M have ever sung. It will take days to listen to all of them. Share them with your kids, cry and laugh as you relive those moments in time that we all shared in trying to make the world a better place. Everyone should take the time to revisit the past and enjoy the songs that make you feel good.
Loved it!!!

Nostalgic Encouraging Album.......2007-03-05

I'm 53,live in Chiba-prefecture nearby Tokyo. PPM's music came over the radio ,when I was a elementary school boy.Then I didn't understand the lyrics. But I'd felt something resistant with them,which had all melancholic tune.Later I found them anti-war songs.Since then,I've loved them deeper.
These CDs are very good in sound.Its high-fidelity sound is remarkable. It is very importan for us to listen these CDs in the era The US-Iraq War.

IMPORTANT - how to get the hidden tracks in mp3 format.......2007-02-12

I had the same problem as many other people with the hidden tracks. None of my CD players or computers could play them.
I decided to try to go to the source of the music, and sent this problem through the feedback email address of the Peter, Paul & Mary website(www.peterpaulandmary.com), asking for a solution.

To my surprise, I got a very rapid and clear reply from the webmaster of the site, pointing out where to download the songs. Here it is:

On the main page of thePP&M site, in the box labelled "latest updates", click on "free stuff", and there they are - all 4 of them, in mp3 format!!!!!. I guess they agreed that the hidden tracks were unworkable as recorded on the cd.
ENJOY!

It's nice to see that they (and the people taking care of their website) still care about their fans, and have NOT ben "assimilated"

How about the solo albums on CD.......2006-10-07

With the Peter, Paul and Mary CD's selling between fourteen and nineteen dollars on Amazon, there is obviously a demand for their music. How about releasing the solo albums on CD?? If Warner's doesn't think there is a demand, make them two fers. Two albums on one CD. I would just love to have the "Mary" album on CD.

I've learned to read all the reviews, now, not just the top 3 or 4!.......2006-04-16

The music is fine. However, I bought this collection especially for the bonus tracks. I have most all of their CDs (and had them in Cassette Tape, and 8 track tape and vinyl format before that - time marches on). But I play my music on my computer these days, and these bonus tracks do NOT play from my computer (and I have two drives, and have been able to play pretty much anything else). I do not share music or make copies for friends, but I do copy to my hard drive and play from play lists. Call me old fashioned, but if I pay for a song, I expect to hear the song, or be warned that this might NOT be possible. The tricks the others reviewers speak of do not work for me. I've unfortunately been ripped off. Peter, Paul and Mary, welcome to Corporate America, you have been assimilated.

Sigh!

Not the best album he has had........2007-06-04

Pat Green's album "Carry On" isn't his best work, but a nice album none the less. I agree with other reviewers who say it doesn't deserve the bad rating that it is getting. It is most defiantly worth more the some of the one star reviews that it has gotten. My favorite track on the album is "Ruby's Two Sad Daughters" That track alone is worth the price of the album IMHO. Happy listening!

Beginning of the End.......2005-09-06

I mark this album as the beginning of the end for Pat Green. This is his last album before he went from Great to Suck. 90% of this album is vintage Pat and there are plenty of songs you'll won't to listen to over and over again, but the other 10% I believe is the entrance to the crap that is "Wave on Wave" and "Lucky Ones" (though "Lucky Ones" was better then "Wave" it is still a far cry from Pat's trademark Texas Outlaw style). I've also heard reports of Pat being big headed now and while in concert claiming to the crowd that he is bigger then the Beatles. Pat's next effort "Three Days" is a 50-50 mix of Great and Suck, but this album and all previous Pat Green albums are worth owning.

Real Country Music.......2001-07-18

I love many different types of music including country, and I have really been saddened the last decade to see the genre disappear. At least it has in Nashville. Everything (with a few exceptions) seems to be really awful pop. Thank God country music survives with a few outstanding musicians in Texas. In my opinion, Pat Green is probably the best of these musicians, and Carry On is a great album. Every song (except "Louisiana Song" which he admits is a departure) is real country music. All have something to say. All are well arranged and well played. "Whiskey," "Ruby's Two Sad Daughters," "You Gotta Know", "Rusty Old American Dream," and "Washington Avenue" are all really solid country songs. "Carry On" is a perfect song with a lot of wisdom. "Crazy" is a beautiful love song. My favorite "Take Me Out to the Dancehall" is a love song which could stand alongside any classic country song. Pat Green's music really captures life in rural Texas and in the rest of small-town America. His music is what happens in everyday life. Green's sound is also based on what you have always been able to hear at local dancehalls, and it is so refreshing in constrast with most of todays modern music. Hopefully, more people will begin to listen to Pat Green's music, and country can be saved.

Come on, now..........2001-06-24

True, this may not be as good as some of his other stuff, but I don't think it deserves just one star. With Nashville ... the only thing else to turn to, I'll stick with Pat.

Future Nashville Star?.......2001-05-31

For a guy that says he despises Nashville, he sure is starting to sound as cheesy as those guys. The only good song on this CD is the title song. Everything else is garbage. Stick with his old stuff, it's much better.

not to great.......2007-04-04

We were disappointed with this CD, but for the price I guess we can't expect much. I didn't care for the new style presentation of the songs. I like a more traditional rendering.

Not so bad, 100 tunes for 4$.......2005-06-22

I red the comments of two other people who have bought this 4 CD BOX SET and it is not really so bad. I will even add that there are some excellent tunes. However, I must agree with the fact that few tunes seem to have been recorded 40 or 50 years ago, mainly when you hear the scratches of an old turntable but it is just 2 or 3 tunes. Furthermore, if you do not know American music, it is a good BOX SET to buy if you consider that you received 4 CD for 4$ including 100 tunes. On these 4 CD, I have heard some orchestration that I have never heard before and I consider that they are different but interesting. Any way, after hearing these 100 tunes, you will say to yourself that you like this tune, this other tune, this other tune and so on and you will be able to buy a more expensive CD with the tunes that you like. However, I have bought many CDs in the last few weeks and as you know, there are always some tunes that you like and some tunes that you do not like on every CD that you will buy. So, don't buy it at 25$ but at 4 or 5$ dollars, it is a very good choice for 100 tunes.

You get what you pay for........2004-07-04

You get what you pay for. The singers put their own spin on the singing of each song. If you didn't hear the words you would not recognize some of them. Even some of the music sounds like a bad recording of music played on a turntable. Definitely not worth the price.

Now I know why there were no song samples to listen to ..........2004-07-04

I wish this review had been here when I was thinking of purchasing it. I guess you get what you pay for. If you are thinking of buying this, you are better off recording your own CDs (or at least buying one that you can listen to a sampling of the songs). This album includes songs that were mere recordings of the songs playing on an old record player. It's almost so unbelievable that it is funny.

Arguably "The Best" English "Merry Widow ".......2006-09-12

This is the "Merry Widow" with English translation by Christopher Hassel sung by June Bronhill. I loved this rendition ever since I first heard it in about 1960. What's to love? First the translation is the best I've heard. The language doesn't sound "stilted" as some others. And, you can understand almost every word sung. Plus, the famous song, "Vilja" has some wording that moves me every time I hear it: The soprano sings, "Love me and I'll DIE for you!" with the word "die" somewhat emphasized. I don't know, there's just something "powerful" about someone saying they'd "die" for love! AND, at the end of "Vilja" the chorus and soprano raise to a crescendo hitting a high note together. In many renditions the chorus is heard but not the soprano on the final high note. In THIS version, the soprano, June Bronhill, can be heard rising to the final high note with an incressing crescendo and fortissimo louder than the chorus and holding the final high note---which gives a very thrilling effect as she holds that final note, I assure you!

The "problem" is that this June Bronhill, Reid, and Hassel version is hard to find on CD. For example, this CD is made in Holland and "there is one left" so it says on Amazon. But, if you can find it, I think it would be very much worth a listen. Then, after hearing it, if you think there's a "better" Merry Widow, please let ME know! Thanks. Email:boland7214@aol.

Album Description

15-track edition includes the hit single from the Casino Royale soundtrack, 'You Know My Name' and one bonus track,'Today'. The album's fourteen tracks offer the bluesy and soulful "Safe and Sound," psychedelic "Scar On The Sky," country-flavored "Finally Forever"... paeans to persistence in "Disappearing Act" and a slow-grind cover of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" that gives the familiar song a completely new feeling. More personal selections include "Ghost," "Arms Around Your Love" and "She'll Never Be Your Man" and alt-rock experimentations ("Killing Birds" the anthemic "Silence the Voices"). Fans of Soundgarden and Audioslave will appreciate the harder edge of "No Such Thing" and "Poison Eye" and the redemptive "Your Soul Today." Universal. 2007.

A Masterpiece.......2007-06-20

Clear and crisp and played with vigor and heart. Mass call is of course Mess Call that someone spelled wrong. What worked for me is that I review four or five calls each night before bed. I hum them first and then listen to the call on the CD. The next day, I work out on the bugle until lip fatigue sets in.

Clear and simple.......2006-08-04

Single bugle calls, clear and simple-recognizable to this Navy/Marine Corps veteran. Also some army stuff if you desire that sort of thing. Quite a lot of quality stuff.

What ??.......2006-12-10

The idiot from Virginia thought it a bit strange that an American black man would give the communists a chance. Looking back from modern perspective is easier than what he had to go on in the thirtes. Gee, I wonder why a black man would do that after all that southern hospitality, segregation, and steady work you gave the "black folk". Not to mention all those nighttime campfires you had going in their honor.
While I might be from New York I certainly would not be called a bleeding heart liberal but I can certainly understand why the poor soul was looking elsewhere. You are either ignorant of history and its influences on people or you are a totally unsympathetic jackass!!

Nice Voice, but not a nice person...(read on, pls.).......2006-01-07

Paul Robeson, who was brainwashed into
beleiving Communist rhetoric (which is
strange as hell for an Amer-I-can black
man). A good singing voice but all cover
songs! Come on, Paul!

A let down.......2004-09-24

I own several Robeson recordings and purchased this one with high hopes as it has a great selection of tracks. Unfortunately given the excellent recording quality of "Songs for Free Men" and "The Paul Robeson Oddyssey", the remasters from what I assume are 78's and possibly radio are a let down and mar what could have been an excellent album.

The definitive Paul Robeson compilation.......2003-09-19

This 2 CD set of Paul Robeson is the definitive collection providing a decent overview of his work in 50 tracks all wonderfully restored from 78s as usual for ASV, with spirituals, show tunes, Shakespeare-like readings, and more done with a trademark bass voice and orchestration that backs up Paul perfectly and he would later be one of the first civil rights activists. The first disc is a reissue of the single disc "Ol' Man River-His 25 Greatest" on ASV containing "Ol' Man River," "Mighty Like a Rose," "Joshua Fit De Battle Ob Jericho," "Carry Me Back To Green Pastures," "Lazy Bones," and many more classics which is also available here at Amazon for those who only want a single disc of Paul's work and the 2nd disc contains 25 more classics including "Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen," "The Old Folks At Home," "My Old Kentucky Home," "Wagon Wheels," "Git On Board, Little Children," and many more. In other words, all 50 of these tracks are essential to any early pop, folk, gospel, blues, etc. music fan and this is the set to introduce yourself to his work in a convenient 2 CD package with the usual great liner notes and details on the original 78s ASV provides with each CD released in their Living Era series.
