Transitional NGR.......2007-05-21

This CD is a combination of two NGR albums - Fly Through the Country and When the Storm is Over.

If you're looking for classic NGR, this is it. Just about every tune you remember from the original guys (Sam, John, Curtis, and Courtney) is included - just about every song on these albums was a "hit" for them. In addition, the best of these were carried over to the more modern NGR sound when Bela and Pat joined the group.

I call it "transitional" for two reasons. The first was mentioned in the previous paragraph. The second is that these albums are where NGR really "locks in" it's signature sound. The preferred harmony stack, extended jams, and song selection would continue until the much later days of the band where they went a bit more in the jazz direction.

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that a number of the songs would be better featured in a "live" setting. "Fly Through the Country" (the tune, not the whole album) falls a bit flat in the studio as do a couple of others. Fortunately, there are a couple of live albums (one from this era and another from the later incarnation) where you can hear NGR playing as they were meant to be.

Go ahead. Buy this. You won't be disappointed, and you'll feel right "at home" with a bunch of guys who streached bluegrass to the breaking point, and became legend because of it.

When The Storm Is Over/Fly Through the Country.......2004-03-24

This compilation of two separately released records on vinyl is absolutely one of the best driving cd's available. If the sun is shining, and you're on the road, this is a must have for those who love finger pickin'!

The best of the best.......2001-06-19

Two albums on one CD. When the Storm is Over is very good. Fly Through The Country is excellent. Though Bela Fleck was not in the band when they recorded these two albums, Fly Through The Country represents the best songs the band ever recorded. This would be the one studio album of theirs that is a must have.

Early & Essential New Grass Revival.......2001-04-03

During the 1980's I immersed myself in bluegrass music. I first sought out Bill Monroe, of course, and then Flatt & Scruggs, Ralph & Carter Stanley and from there it was more progressive artists like J.D. Crowe & The New South, The Country Gentlemen, The Seldom Scene, and The New Grass Revival. For too many people, bluegrass music is still personified by the inbred hillbilly from Deliverance playing "Dueling Banjos." That's too bad. This is the music that comes closest to touching the heart and soul of our country's earliest history and for a time no one did it better than Sam Bush (fiddle, mandolin, vocal), Courtney Johnson (banjo), Curtis Burch (guitar, vocal) and John Cowan (bass).

This reissue packages their first two studio albums for Flying Fish from 1975 and 1977. [Their debut on Starday featured Ebo Walker on bass.] Fly Through the Country is the more traditional of the two, while When the Storm is Over added piano and drums on many of the tracks. But they would constantly balance the two. They'd do the Flatt & Scruggs standard ("Doin' My Time") one moment, then turn around and cover Jackson Browne ("These Days") the next. They'd also cover Jimmy Webb ("Fly Through the Country"), Rick Roberts ("Four Days of Rain" from The Flying Burrito Brothers) and Townes Van Zandt ("White Freightliner Blues"). Both albums feature John Hartford covers: "Skippin' in the Mississippi Dew" from the former and "Vamp in the Middle" from the latter. The only songwriter in the band was Sam Bush who wrote the instrumental "Crooked Smile," a nearly eight-minute instrumental heavily influenced by David Grisman's "dawg" music, which blended jazz and bluegrass. Bush also co-wrote another six of these tracks with Steven Brines.

Amazon.com only lists the tracks from When the Storm Is Over. Here's the tracks from Fly Through the Country: 1. Skippin' in the Mississippi Dew 2. Good Woman's Love 3. Glory 4. All Night Train 5. Fly Through the Country 6. This Heart of Mine 7. The Dancer 8. When She Made Laughter Easy 9. Doin' My Time 10. These Days

While the band would continue to have success into the 80's with a slighltly altered lineup, these early recordings have an excitement and urgency about them that still make them enjoyable twenty-five years later. And this two-fer is a real bargain. Grab it while you can. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Essential early and defining work.......1998-06-19

"When The Storm Is Over" continues to solidify the New Grass Revival as America's premier progressive bluegrass band. All of the elements that would become the band's trademarks throughout their existence are already evident; innovation, distinctive interpretation, superb presentation, excellent writing and song selection, not to mention their unsurpassed musical abilities. "When The Storm Is Over" is fittingly combined with an earlier album release, "Fly Through The Country", on one CD. Very similar, these two albums give us a good perspective of their early work following the departure of Ebo Walker on bass, who appeared on only one album. Replaced by John Cowan, his Rock/Blues influences further delineated the group from mainstream bluegrass and provided greater diversity.

This set has it all - There are soulful ballads - "Sail To Australia" and "He Says I Love You". "Four Days Of Rain", the title track "When The Storm Is Over", and "Like A Child In The Rain", are delightful upbeat melodies. "White Freightliner Blues" and the instrumental duet "Tennessee Rain" are proof that the group has dedicated roots in the heart of bluegrass, demonstrating the ability to play traditional renditions fluently....and during a time when "progressive" and "bluegrass" were still contradictory terms. "Crooked Smile" is the climactic high-powered instrumental jam, finishing off the record with Bush's wonderfully constructed mandolin lead throughout, reminiscent of "Red Man Blues" and its fiddle work from their previous live album.

Customer Reviews:

3.5 Star Hard Rock Performance.......2003-06-25

This album starts off with a bang called "Turn the Tables". Introduced with a rapid-fire chromatic-style riff, the tune begs your attention and doesn't give in until the last bar. The next few tunes are solid rockers that highlight the musical prowess of the band members, particuarly DiMeo's voice, throwback that it may be. The title track has a bit of a progressive-feel, with the leader majestically declaring "It's time to meet my end!", resulting in an overall solid tune that feels just a tad overdone.

The album reaches an "autopilot" stage after this track, where the tunes are not really inspiring but remain solid rockers in their own right. This portion of the album fits well into your early 80's rock collection, and its a great listen for fans of the era. You won't hit skip, but you might forget a song or two before tomorrow.

The album dies for me on track eight. Essential Enemies is a step in the wrong direction. The guy has a great voice and they throw it through a noise box? Stupid. I was also disappointed that a band that has released fifteen albums had to cover a UFO tune to fill out tracks. The cover doesn't ..., but it fits like an old patch on this new garment. They don't add anything noticable to the cover.

The Isle of Shadows instrumental track is built on a nifty riff with Celtic feel. The phrasing and feel of the tune fit with the album and I enjoy the track. The guitar work is nowhere near virtuoso level, however, and the song feels like its there to stroke an ego somewhere. The George Harrison instrumental track at the end really left me feeling abused. Its great that they loved his work. Its sad that they relegated the 11th track of the album to an instrumental remake to a Beatles song not fit for Muzak. They could have left the track off and used it on a tribute album. Instead they wasted production time putting it somewhere where it can't possibly be appreciated the way they meant it.

Overall the album deserves 3.5 marks (4 here because the half cannot be implied). Solid hard rock with competent professionals performing the tunes. The musicians are capable of a little more than eight original tracks, however, holding this rating back. This album was the first that turned me onto the band, which is ironic given their long life in the business, and I recommend it to fans of the genre (early 80's hard rock) and of RIOT.

An uneven effort.......2003-01-31

So, some say it sounds like Rainbow - it doesn't! The guitar playing has nothing in common with Blackmoore's, it's a totally different style. It doesn't sound like UFO either without the exception that Riot has included a UFO cover. Regarding the singer some claim that he sounds like Joe Lynn Turner, but I don't think the comparison is striking. Think of Iron Maiden when the first song begins - it's very similar to the guitar riffs Maiden usually play. Sometimes during the listening I also get to think of Black Sabbath with Tony Martin...

I believe this album has 3 really great heavy metal tunes with good arrangement and harmony: "Turn the Tables", "Through the storm" and "Burn the sun" - all top quality! Then there is 2 decent ones: "Lost inside this world" and "Chains"; 1 rather good cover: "Only you can rock me", and 1 boring semi-ballad called "Let it show". I don't know what Riot try to do with a song like "Essential enemies" - a modern approach? Well, it doesn't work, and the same goes for "To my head". We also get 2 instrumental tracks at the end, and although it's good guitar playing it doesn't get me excited.

If you got lots of money to spend on records and you're a fan of more traditional heavy metal I think this one would please you - the 3 best songs are really great! A few more songs of this calibre, and I would give this one 5 stars... And by the way, if you like this one I advise you to buy Pretty Maids "Red, hot and heavy" - you won't be disappointed!

Riot - releases another world class production.......2002-12-09

After another excellent release I continue to wonder the reason Riot does not receive more attention from the world of hard rock. Mark Reale's musicianship has been, and continues to be, on par with the most respected guitarists of the genre. Mark's compositions on "Through the Storm" are no exception; each song is an amalgam of expert timing, arrangement, and harmony, and if you are a fan of rock songs with soloing guitar this album will certainly delight. My picks are tracks 1,2,4,7, and the tribute instramental to George Harrison.

Over the Riot.......2002-11-14

RIOT releases here a very good RAINBOW album.Is it because of Bobby Rondinelli's presence on the drums or did he join the band because the compositions remimded him of his glory days with Ritchie Blackmore...I don't know but still we can't deny that this album is a good collection of HARD ROCK-HEAVY(?)songs with Blackmorian riffs, solid drumming and (this is why only four stars) a Joe Lynn Turner type of voice...(Ok not that annoying!).
The comparaison might be easy, but -for me anyway- if you take all the good ingredients from the late rainbow albums, speed them up a bit and throw the ballads away, that makes a pretty good album.
And this is what RIOT did with this one.
Glad to hear good classic Hard Rock in 2002!

WHAT AN AMAZING VOICE.......2002-09-20

I thought that this was the best Riot album yet!... Lead singer Mike DiMeo's voice is unlike anything I've ever heard before!... Everyone should check it out!... Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Right Concept, Wrong Execution (And Yes, Huge Waste of Talent).......2007-07-03

In the hands of a different producer and different group of songwriters, I wonder if maybe this album might have achieved the results that Aretha and producer Narada Michael Walden (who by now was showing signs of burning out) were hoping for. After listening to this disc, my first thought was, "What a WASTE of the talent!" Just look at the roster of stars who appear here: "Godfather of Soul" James Brown, Whitney Houston, Elton John, Four Tops.....perhaps Aretha's only saving grace here was her duet with the Tops and deserves a place on this disc. The rest is really just fodder and filler taking up needless space on an album that deserved some imagination and originality.

My feeling is Aretha should have ventured into more adventurous territory and team with a more funkified R&B producing team such as Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who at that time were the hottest producing duo in music. Instead Aretha retreaded to safer waters and familiar territory. I am glad I spent only $3 for a used copy bought on Amazon and I'm already thinking of reselling it. The songs are just filler and unlike Aretha's previous Arista CD's, this one does not contain one HUGE smash a la "I Knew You Were Waiting For Me" "Freeway of Love" "Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves" "Another Night". "Through The Storm" did receive some radio airplay in 1989, but compared to those other tracks listed above, it simply is not enough to sell an entire album. Maybe a sure sign of panic setting in was Aretha's decision to remake her 1968 classic "Think". Has anyone told Aretha that you simply do NOT remake a CLASSIC !! Maybe she felt it was better than anything else they had to offer her for this CD.

Sorry, Aunt Ree Aretha, but this one is what they call a "Bomb".

"After The Storm" would have been a better title........2007-01-02

Unfortunately this album's production, choice of material and overall presentation are much too similar to what's found on 1985's "Who's Zoomin'Who". Only Franklin's glorious duet with The Four Tops' "If Ever A Love There Was" and the jazzy ballad "He's The Boy" manage to not sound dated. Aretha's producers and Arista label boss Clive Davis simply couldn't come up with the right material for her on this set.

The Queen.......2006-10-06

The Queen could sing the telephone book and it would be alright with me. The song Through The Storm has been going around in my head for a few days. The song with the 4 Tops is fabulous. And the remake of 'Think' is just awesome. 'Long Live The Queen'

Sometimes RECYCLING is not good for the "environment".......2005-05-21

In 1986, following the success of the Grammy-winning "Who's Zoomin' Who", featuring the monstrous "Freeway of Love," Aretha was paired with George Michael, Annie Lennox, Larry Graham, and Keith Richards, on the self-titled "Aretha."

Garnering several hits, Aretha and her respective producers (Narada Michael Walden, Arif Mardin, and Jerry Knight, to name a few) decided to continue the same pattern with 1989's "Through the Fire," but with mixed results.

One would have thought that the matching of "The Godfather of Soul" with "The Queen of Soul" would be eventful but Franklin and Brown on "Gimme Your Love" makes one ponder what the two could have done in their prime. The song, unfortunately, is nothing extraordinary, as are the talents involved.

Pop "princess" Whitney Houston joins Aretha on "It Ain't Never Gonna Be," another idea that deserved a better song. The same results are found on the title cut, a duet with Elton John.

The songs are too "lightweight" for such heavy hitters.

Only on the slower-paced "If Ever a Love There Was," featuring fellow Detroit natives The Four Tops, along with saxophonist Kenny G, does the duet-concept work for Franklin and those involved.

The solo efforts (including "Mercy" and the torchy-like "He's the Boy") fare a bit better, although the rationale for remaking "Think" and the nine-year-old "Come to Me" (taken from Franklin's first Arista release in 1980) is perplexing.

Even the Peter Max cover looks too much like the artwork for the previous two releases.

This album must have been one of those "contractual commitments" that the singer must have been forced to do.

'Cause there definitely isn't very much "soul" in it.

ONE OF HER BEST THUS FAR!.......2006-02-15

I've been a fan of Yolanda since the very beginning! Since she sang with the Southeast Inspirational Choir. It was the song she sang "My Liberty" with them that drew my attention. However, it was this cd THROUGH THE STORM that kept my eye on her! This cd was made after Yolanda came thru a dark physically abusive marriage! Indeed, you feel the presence of the Lord on this wonderfully produced cd. The presence of the Lord doesn't just manifest in unknown tongues, goose bumps, riffs and runs but it's beyond that and that's what you get from this cd! One that can play any day of the week and you find a soothing, relaxing yet jubilant and exciting warmth. The presence shows up thru the peace of God, the joy of the Lord, the testimony of His work in our lives are all tangible ways as well. Through each song, you can sense a triumphant Yolanda. Stellar tracks are the jazzy "My Everything" and "The Only Way"...the powerful delivering ballads of "Through the Storm" and "Just A Prayer Away". Other highlights to mention are "Forever With Me" a song that deals w/the loss of a loved one. The celebratory "I'm Free" which speaks about being free from the bondages of life. Lastly, "A Message to You" is a great jazzy songs that prompts us to share the message and love of Jesus Christ with others. Indeed one of her best if not her best project. It rivals Mountain High, Valley Low and Day By Day in content, lyrics, vocal ability and spirituality. Go Yolanda, Great Ministry.

GREAT CD.......2005-10-19

SOMEONE HAD GAVE ME THIS FOR MY BIRTHDAY AND I AM GLAD THAT THEY DID. THEY KNEW THAT I LOVE YOLANDA ADAMS. THIS IS HER FIRST CD I THINK AND BOY IS IT GOOD. THE SONGS ARE OFF THE CHAIN. THE BEST SONGS ARE:

2) THROUGH THE STORM(MY FAVORITE SONG AND THE BEST SONG)
3) FOREVER WITH ME (THE BEST SONG)
4) EVEN ME
5)EVERYTHING
6) YOU KNOW THAT I KNOW
7) JUST A PRAYER AWAY

THE REST THAT I DID NOT LIST WERE BAD IN MY OPNION. OTHER THAN THAT THIS CD IS AWESOME. YOU NEED TO GET IT YOU WILL BE BLESS

"The Only Way".......2000-05-22

When you purchase this album, you will know that Jesus is indeed, "Just A Prayer Away". Because He is "The Only Way", you will also know that He is your everything, whilst you are riding "Through The Storm". I love you, Yolanda Adams.

This album was the bomb........1999-10-18

This album was the bomb. I am Yolanda Adam's biggest fan. Everything she does is the bomb to me. I love that woman.

Excellent, spritually uplifting and full of praise and glory.......1999-09-26

I love you Yolanda Adams. This album is by far the greatest. The range of the songs are awesome. She truly blesses the Lord's name and lifts him up. She touches every aspect of life's storms and lets you know God will see you through everything. May God continue to bless her and use her in a mighty way.

A good collection.......2007-05-14

Unlike the huge names, collections by Allen are not many - plenty of his opera performances are recorded, but there are only a few collections. My voice teacher recommended I listen to him to understand better how to deliver power without weight, something we've been working on. Yes, it's all in English, but that's fine, and the quality of Allen's instrument comes through very well.

A Musician of Great Dignity and Style.......2005-07-27

Sir Thomas Allen is one of the enduring baritones who has been able to move throughout the operatic repertoire and the recital stage with intelligence, informed characterization, and immaculate musicianship. To have a recording of some of the roles he has inhabited at this point in his career is a gift (this CD was recorded in 2003). To have the added challenge of retaining the stature of the roles while sung in English translations at the request of Chandos is a credit to his abilities and communicative powers.

English is a difficult language to make musical, though saying that abruptly is countered by the fact that some of the most beautiful operas in history are by Benjamin Britten, a composer who truly understood his native tongue and kept it as fluid as the soaring melodies he wrote, as Thomas Allen proves here in 'Billy in the Darbies' from Britten's 'Billy Budd'. It is the other major arias from Korngold to Wagner to Tchaikovsky to Rossini, Bizet, Mozart, Gounod, Verdi, Thomas, Strauss, and Lehar that Allen proves that English translations do not detract at all from the performances!

For those purists who prefer opera sung in the original language (and for those who don't even need supertitles in the opera house!), then this recording may provide a temporary barrier to respecting Allen's singing. But once caught up in the ease with which he moves from style to style and comedy to drama, it is hard not to relinquish old preferences and not be wholly impressed with the beauty of the voice and the warmth and dignity of this fine musician. Highly recommended. Grady Harp, July 05

Passed the "Opera in English" test with flying colors........2005-07-04

For me, the test here was Figaro's Cavatina, from Rossini's Barber of Seville - sung in English, as is this entire compilation of 14 operatic favorites, sung by baritone Sir Thomas Allen. Could he pull it off? Could Chandos pull it off? The answer is an unequivocal, unqualified yes! The secret in singing classics in English, that were written and scored in another language, is in three things: pacing, vocal agility and appreciation for "fit", and what greater test for tongue and timing than Figaro? When you listen to this one song, you will understand why Chandos and its benefactor, Sir Peter Moores have such a passion for their Opera in English series. Sir Allen's voice is a matured unmistakably settled baritone voice that contains a lifetime's worth of understanding of the music and words he imparts through his magnificent delivery. For example, when he sings, Tchaikovsky's "You have my love and devotion" from The Queen of Spades, he delivers a smooth and deeply emotional rendition that lacks nothing in translation. Wagner's "Turning my gaze upon this proud assembly", from Tannhäuser is another example of how fine, full orchestration behind a seasoned voice that waxes eloquent with every phrase, can create a mood of relaxed familiarity with word and music, that may be lacking when sung in another tongue. Great Operatic Arias, serves up a smorgasbord of tunes that are familiar, made more so by the care and attention given to creating a place for the Opera in English series in every home library. The mood here is romantic, relaxed and with few exceptions consistent throughout. If you haven't heard Opera in English, this might be a good way to start, given the fact that the listener gets to sample how different composers might sound in other than German, Italian or French. You might be surprised to discover that when done with care, as is obviously the case here, the sound is about as good as it gets. As an added bonus, the booklet that comes with the CD is full of pictures, libretto in English, and biography that gives us a good insight into history of the singer and his identifying rolls.
