Thanks

If you want the lions' share of Freddy Fenders popular music, the Millennium Collection is a good choice.
All of the hits, and well mastered.

Passion, desire and heartbreak as only Freddy could sing it !!!.......2006-10-16

Freddy Fender deserves to be remembered as a great singer who could sing the contents of a phone book and still make your heart melt. His voice was rich, vibrant and full of energy; and his songs boasted lush musical arrangements. The CD proves it.

The CD starts off with two of Freddy's biggest hits on both the pop and country charts: "Before The Next Teardrop Falls" and "Wasted Days And Wasted Nights" from 1975. These songs are still wonderful today. Yes, some of the lyrics all throughout this CD are sung in Spanish, but it is no matter: Freddy's art moves you in a certain way that few artists can accomplish.

The album continues with Freddy performing a cover of Doris Day's hit entitled "Secret Love." This is very well done. Other great songs on this CD include "You'll Lose A Good Thing;" "Vaya Con Dios (Go With God);" "Livin' It Down" and "Since I Met You Baby." There are background vocals on several of the songs on this CD and they work very well into the overall arrangement. It's too bad the background vocalists are uncredited!

Despite the fact that Freddy was born in Texas there is an unmistakable Hispanic flavor to his country/pop music. This is evident when he sings some of the lyrics in Spanish. Moreover, the final song on this CD, "I Love My Rancho Grande," is distinctly Spanish in its style. The background vocals on this song are also very nicely done.

My only disappointment, albeit a minor one, is that the twelve songs on the CD only fill up 33 minutes of running time. I only wish the manufacturer gave us more of Freddy's work on this CD--there was plenty of room for it!

The quality of the sound is excellent and the liner notes offer three great color photos of Freddy. There is an essay by Sal Nunziato that discusses Freddy's professional life as well as some of his personal struggles along the way. You get the songs credits, too--a nice plus!

Overall, I highly recommend this CD for Freddy's fans, fans of country music with a pop flavor added to it and people who want to experience Freddy's artistry for the very first time. This CD is budget priced, too, so it's a great starter CD if you want just one CD to see if you will like Freddy's music. Freddy may have departed from this world; but he lives on through his phenomenal ballads. Thank you, Freddy!

Awesome Freddie Fender.......2006-06-26

This is Freddie Fender at his best. Great songs and the quality of this CD is excellent. I was worried about this being another cheap remastered CD with poor quality. This is as close as you can get to the first recording of these songs. I have it it my car where whenever I need a Freddie Fender fix, it is disk #1 on my CD player.

Beautiful.......2005-08-02

I love listening to Freddy Fender sing. I have his CD in the car and everytime I'm out it's on. Love When the Next Teardrop Fall; Wasted Days, Wasted Nights; Once I Had a Secret Love. These three songs I could listen to all day. My husband and I have been fans of his since the first time we heard him sing back in the 70's.

Great Album.......2006-11-02

I like this album more and more as I listen to it. It has stayed in my player all summer and isn't leaving anytime soon.

Love it!.......2006-07-02

I saw this CD at a friends house and asked about it, we put it in and I was blown away by "In a daydream". It took a while but
"Take the time" and others struck me too! I saw them in SLC at a private club. Man that drummer would smack the drums so hard...listen to the drumming and you can almost feel it!
BUY this !!! I had this as the number 1 CD in my car changer for about three years!

When you need to remember to live life........2005-04-06

When you need to remember to live life, you listen to this album. There aren't many albums that are in constant rotation at my house, but this is one.

Let me take you back in time. It's 1994 and I am moving from my home to a big new city to pursue a dream. An awesome friend of mine, makes me a tape of various songs. It included three from the FJB, her favorite band, she was a groupie. From the beginning the music was uplifting, full of great lyrics and incredible. From Take the Time, to One World and then of course In a Daydream. I was in tears. I was starting new. Powerful stuff.

Take the Time starts off asking, Where the hell are you running to? Try and find yourself a life. Look at yourself you're just standing still. And later, Tired of people talking about what they're gonna do or what they said or should have done. It commands you to take the time to look in front of you. It's full of great harmonies, haunting vocals and goosebump producing guitars. Seriously.

In A Daydream starts off with a great, catchy, loopy guitar riff. It's a song that will propel you forward in one of those days you just dream about. Warm, sunny day in the middle of nowhere. "The sky is calling, calling out my name." "I'm already in a daydream." The music, especially the guitar and bass towards the end, is meant to achieve the musical equivalent of a fantasy. It captures it.

The bottom line is that music, for me, is meant to take me away to another place or time. This album is timeless, deserved A LOT more recognition that it got and this band was just incredible live. In fact, much better live. Thanks to my friend 11 yrs ago for introducing me to TFJB. I am in Chicago now, too bad they aren't together anymore. But their music lives on forever.

A lover of "BLUES".......2002-10-23

I picked up the cassette of this at a tag sale! It is one of the BEST ever! I have been searching for more from FJB for months. Just found them (Oct 2002). It is amazing that they broke up. This is a MUST HAVE in your collection. I play it at least once a week. IN A DAYDREAM is wonderful. So is Dixie. They are all good. If you need a lift, this is the one to play. I cannot wait to get all the rest of their music.
A fan from Connecticut

This album is a classic!.......2001-12-05

"Waiting for the Night" is one of the greatest lesser-known albums of recent history. There are some really dynamite tunes on this album. The song that is the favorite of everyone who knows Freddy Jones is "In a Daydream." It's the kind of song that will pick you up when you are down, and keep you riding when you're feeling great.

It's really a shame that this band no longer exists. Somehow the music mainstream missed these guys, and they never really got the huge national following that they deserved.

There's no better example of American pop culture's hall-of-mirrors ethos than producer Alan Carr's relentlessly buoyant 1978 film adaptation of the stage musical Grease. Inspired by that decade's rampant 50's nostalgia, it now paradoxically evokes the campy 70's excesses that spawned it. That sense of recycled decades in collision is underscored repeatedly on this deluxe, double-disc Grease-fest, especially on the set's second disc of bonus materials that spans vintage singles of the title track (its instrumental B-side) and "Greased Lightnin'," some sing-along karaoke tracks, and a handful of alternately slick/techo-savvy remixes (originally produced for the film's 20th anniversary) that are testament to its enduring, era-defying appeal. The original soundtrack itself has been treated to a stellar digital remastering that fills disc one, and remains a joyous monument to camp, sheer ambition, and exuberant nostalgic illusions. Includes a slip-cased, double-fold-out case and new booklet with complete song lyrics. --Jerry McCulley

You 're The One That I Want.......2007-04-03

The complete Grease experience. This cd is a two disc-set with disc one being the complete soundtrack, while disc two is all bonus material including the popular Grease Megamix. Fans of the movie would want to make this cd an essential part of their music collection.

Prepare to be transported to Summer Nights.......2006-03-26

Well here we are with a great piece of history.

This album has not only captured the spirit of the movie but the essence of a 1970's version of the 1950's. I have seen this play live and yes some things are different. Yet I grew up on the movie. I even find myself singing some of the songs now and then. Of course you will never see me singing "Look At Me, I'm Sandra Dee." However I do keep this in my car as great driving music. This album is not you can pick apart and say things like missing songs, in the wrong order etc. It sounds and feels just right. There will be many versions yet this one is the Grease - Deluxe Edition [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] [SOUNDTRACK] gives you more information about each of the tracks allowing you to feel that you have inside information and to feel that you know more of what went into the making of each song.

Great Soundtrack & Fun Extras from an Enduring Musical........2004-07-06

I'm enjoying listening to this great soundtrack that I loved as a child after a long hiatus. I had it on 8-track 25 years ago. So it's fitting that I should get the 25th Anniversary Edition on CD. The 24 songs from the movie are just as everyone remembers them, so I'll talk about the Bonus Disc, which contains 10 alternative versions of the songs plus 2 previously unreleased instrumentals from the film.

Track 1 on the Bonus Disc is an instrumental version of the film's theme, "Grease", written and produced by Barry Gibb. Frankie Valli's voice has been replaced by a saxophone. The chorus is vocal, but the voices are not those in the original song. You could use this as a sing-along version, as it would be easy to sing over the sax. Tracks 2-5 are officially sing-along versions. "Summer Nights" includes the chorus vocals from the film and sounds good. "You're the One That I Want" has new chorus vocals of questionable merit. "Sandy" is a new arrangement. It's not as good as the film version, but you can sing along. Track 6 is the single version of "Greased Lightning" that you may have heard on the radio back in the day. It's differs from the original in that the bad words have been replaced for radio airplay. Tracks 7-8 are previously unreleased instrumentals from the film. "Greased Up and Ready to Go" is lively. Tracks 9-10 are mixes that I occasionally hear on the radio. The "Grease Megamix" and the "Grease Dream Mix" are fun, if awkward. Tracks 11-12 are Martian Remixes of "Summer Nights" and "You're the One That I Want". They retain the original vocals, but set them to a Latin rhythm. They make pretty good dance tracks.

This 2-disc set isn't in a jewel case. The case is paperboard with 4 panels that fold out. This is inside of a clear vinyl slip case on which the tracks are written. This isn't convenient packaging. On the bright side, the case won't crack in the mail. Tucked inside one of the panels is a booklet that contains lyrics and credits.

The "Grease: 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition" is a terrifically fun soundtrack to one of the all-time great movie musicals. And for all those preteen girls who go wild over the movie with each new generation, the bonus material is perfect for parties and horsing around.

If You Love Grease, You'll Love This - Only 1 Major Flaw.......2004-05-15

Disc 1 is like the original album, which I also own. 1 major flaw is that "Love Is A Many Splendored Thing" cuts off at the very end of it! I was upset by this, hence the 3 stars instead of 4. Disc 2 is a lot of fun w/some remixes and sing-a-longs, all in all, I'm pretty happy with it being that I'm a HUGE Grease fan. If you like Grease, you'll love this, it's fun. Too bad when they "remastered" it, they didn't catch there 1 mistake. Oh well, at least I have it on another album.

Great collection of Freddy's best !.......2007-07-26

If you remember Freddy "Boom Boom" Cannon belting out greats like Abigail Beecher, Buzz Buzz A-Diddle-It, Tallahassee Lassie, Teen Queen Of The Week, or Palisades Park you'll enjoy hearing them on this CD. And Transistor Sister sounded good on a transistor radio back then, but on this CD you get the total effect of how good that song really sounds. In fact, this CD really highlights the fact that Freddy didn't have the greatest voice, but his energy and delivery were highlighted by the fantastic band that backed him up. This CD really allows you to appreciate how good those musicians were and adds to the total enjoyment of hearing these songs again. The ending of Way Down Yonder In New Orleans has to be one of the best horn fade outs of all time. Those guys were really into that one. But others that will surprise you (and the music really makes them) are Humdinger, and Happy Shades of Blue. If you are a collector, you have to add this one. If you are a Freddy Cannon fan, grab it!

Freddy Cannon best of.......2007-05-09

Nice to see a good catalogue of Freddies hits after a long wait.I found the quality very good.

A Great Compilation.......2007-02-20

This is the only Freddy Cannon album you'll ever need. It contains all of his well known hits as well as the B Sides and more obscure tunes. You can feel Mr. Cannon's energy as if you were at one of his live performances. I highly recommend this CD.

Great Stuff.......2005-10-19

Being a young teenager when these songs came out it was great to hear the original recordings again.
All of his greatest hits are there and it certainly brings back the memories.
Most enjoyable

Preserved In Amber - When Music Could Be "Fun".......2005-10-12

Freddie was never Elvis, Buddy Holly or Chuck Berry, nor do I think he so intended. What he did was to make a series of radio-friendly fun records, a bit offbeat, over a very long period. Some try to dismiss him as a "novelty" record guy, but that's not true. This CD would be fun even if you were born in the 80's and have no idea who "Boom-Boom" even is. And if anybody questions his chops, play "Tallahassee Lassie" for them. Kenny Paulsen's guitar playing here is on the same edge of heavy metal as that in The Guess Who's version of Johnny Kidd's "Shakin' All Over", but Kenny's a better player. He sounds a bit like Cliff Gallup, Gene Vincent's original guitar player, and that's high praise. His intro riff is a killer, and the cut just flashes brilliance! The whole CD just illustrates the fact that "fun records" could exist then but don't now - and there's nobody like the intense Freddy Cannon to do them, either!

Dubbin' in NZ.......2007-06-27

Fat Freddy's Drop is one of a slew of talented New Zealand-based bands merging electronica, dub, reggae, and other styles into a particular Pacific Island sound. Joe Dukie (Dallas Tamaira) is one of the leaders of this treasure trove of sonic delights, which I discovered on a trip to the North Island a few years back. Also well worth checking out, but a bit hard to find are Salmonella Dub (gotta love that name), Rhian Sheehan, Black Seeds, and Trinity Roots, among others. "Based on a True Story" is laid back, funky, roots reggae that will leave you tapping your toes and groovin'... Most songs take some time to build momentum, unfortunate perhaps in today's "5 second" soundbite world, but rewarding to the patient listener. Standout tracks are Cay's Crays, Flashback, Ernie, Del Fuego, and the FFD classic Hope.

Real Reggae Funk n Dub.......2007-04-13

This is one of the most exicting albums I have discovered in the last couple of years because these guys have a very unique genre crossing sound from funk to reggae to dub to jazz. I love reggae but always feel starved of quality new product until Based On a True Story. Ditch the i-pod, this must be listened to from start to finish. It's catchy, cruisy simple and just plain satisfying. Get it!

You won't need to listen to anything else.........2007-02-12

This cd is sooooooo good! It has a little bit of everything...I never get tired of listening to it. I have turned on friends to this cd, and they all come back saying the same thing...they can't stop listening to it. Cays Crays is one of my favorite all time songs. The lyrics and music keep me hanging on, and just when it sounds like the song is over, it gives you a taste of roots and dub. The horns on this cd are great, and are something that is lost these days to synthesizers on most cds. The musicians on this cd are all very talented and truely understand music, and it shows on this creative cd. I've been to New Zealand twice and it is my favorite place in the world, and listening to this cd takes me back there to enjoy the vibes and mana of Aotearoa.
Other great New Zealand artists to check out if you enjoy this are Trinity Roots, The Black Seeds, Salmonella Dub, Kora, and Hollie Smith(she can be heard on some of FFD's tracks and has an EP out). Conscious Roots 2 is a great compilation to listen to for an ontroduction to different NZ artists. I am a roots lover, so my recommendations reflect that...Enjoy!

"Do it for the love of music.".......2007-02-08

It's easy to see how much these 7 guys really do love music, as the New Zealand collective known as Fat Freddy's Drop offer up a real diverse sounding album, filled with reggae and jazz infused downtempo vocal tracks. Joe Dukie, aka Dallas Tamaira has one of the smoothest sounding voices of any electronic or pop male vocalist I've heard in a while. His soulful and crisp sound instantly take any lyrical journey up a notch to the next level. It's DJ Fitchie doing the mixing, Fulla Flash on sax, Jetlag Johnson on guitars, Dobie Blaze on keys, Ho Pepa on trombone, and Tony Chang on cornet. These guys have no shortage in delivering jazzy soundscapes with a touch of dub and reggae to back Dukie.

It's a different sounding album then most US music listeners would be accustomed to, as it's a far cry from the pop that's scattered across our top 40. However, in New Zealand, this album has been on their top 40 chart for an astonishing 90 weeks and counting, and was the biggest selling album in NZ in 2006. It's no wonder, as this is a quality album, by a unique musical collaboration. Mixing jazz, electronica, reggae, and soulful vocals, Fat Freddy's Drop have created a mind opening venture into current music trends.

The album features the singles Flashback, a vocal track which sounds reminiscent of 60's Motown; Wandering Eye, probably the most mainstream sounding vocal track on the album; Roady, a playful dub track with some slick lyrics from guest Ladi 6; Ernie, a jazzy downtempo track with a full 4 minutes of soothing piano melody until the vocals finally kick in; and one of my favorites, Cay's Crays, which features the ultra catchy chorus line, "the skank be the rock in my life".

Since this album has been out in other places before it hit the US, we can already seek out several versions and remixes of lots of these tracks. Especially notable is the Jazzanova's Mashed Bag mix of Flashback, where they remove the broken beat sound of the original, and turn it into a an even more vintage sounding vocal track, by infusing it with an all jazz sound. Cay's Crays also has a cool remix out there by One Self, which features two guest reggae vocalists and additional lyrics. A rare, live version of This Room can be found on Gilles Peterson's BBC Sessions compilation. It's exceptional, as they tend to make each track sound unique every time they play it elsewhere. You won't find them sounding the same twice, but you can count on every time sounding especially good, which further proves how diverse and musically talented these guys really are.

A do not miss artist album that needs more exposure her in the US. It's better than the majority of the major artists and tracks now being played on US radio and popping up on our charts. If you are looking for a mix of exceptional vocals and nu jazz sounds, look no further. I can't wait for more from these New Zealand guys, and hopefully their stuff will reach these shores much quicker next time! One last note is that the store I shop at had this erroneously thrown into the pop/rock section, when it should be in either electronic, lounge, jazz, or even reggae. So, check around, order it here, or do whatever you have to to own this great album.

Anyone who can't be moved by these songs..........can't be moved. This is Freddy Fender at his best. My 5 year old grand daughter has been listening to him in my car on the way to school for about a year. She practically starts singing before the car is turned on and she knows all of the words. She will carry on my love for Freddy through at least another generation.

Tex-Mex superlative!!!.......2006-03-27

I've loved Freddy's style since I first heard him back in the seventies. His versions of Secret Love and Roses are Red are the best. I really love the Spanish versions after the English and vice-versa. Freddy is a real Mexican-American treasure.

Childhood Memories.......2001-01-04

Before the Next Teardrop Falls; Wasted Days and Wasted Nights; Roses Are Red; I have so many memories of sitting in the back seat of the car and singing along in my best Freddy Fender voice. Drove dad crazy, but those songs and Freddy's unique voice remind me of some of the most special times in life. It may be a Southwest thing, but this music gets into your soul and on these songs I feel like I am feeling part of Fender's soul as well. If you've never listened, REALLY listened, to Freddy Fender, give him a chance!

For anyone who loves flying and aviation................2007-04-22

My husband is an airline pilot and general aviation enthusiast who is in awe of this documentary about the Van Nuys airport. Our whole family is impressed with the visually stunning filming and photography, as well as, the outstanding score. The music is exceptionally moving and beautiful. This a must for anyone who appreciates flying and is concerned about the loss of our country's small airports. We look forward to more of Mr. Brian J. Terwilliger's (producer/director) work in the future. This is an exceptional aviation documentary.

My all-time "sleeper".......2005-09-24

I discovered The Freddy Jones Band back when "North Avenue Wakeup Call" was released. The alternative rock station in Boston had "Waitress" on their playlist and upon hearing it I was immediately intrigued. I purchased the cassette and was forever hooked! I must've played that tape more than any other cassette I had ever owned. The songs switch gears from ballads to rockers with an effortless,seamless flow .These guys display songwriting talents and musicianship that I find second to none. I feel that this CD could be re-released today and have a bigger impact.To me it's as relevant musically as any of the newer material I've listened to.
I was fortunate enough to have seen them play at a small venue in Boston and it furthermore baffled me as to why The Freddy Jones Band didn't attract more attention and the recognition that they obviously deserved!! To this day I can't figure how this band wasn't a huge success!

Why am I only the second reviewer?.......2005-09-08

10 years ago, Albany, New York had a creative and independant radio station-WXLE. The listener was guaranteed to hear music not played on the other tight listed mainstream stations in the area. It was on this station that I was introduced to FJB. WXLE is long gone and so is FJB but in listening to North Ave Wake Up Call, the excitement and the flowing energy of the music is still so present. It's like listening to the best elements of the Allman Brothers and Little Feat with in my opinion better vocals. The music is so positive and life affirming with incredible mastery of the lyrics and the instruments. Say, maybe that's why they didn't last.

So Talented.......2005-02-10

It'll be a while until you hear another group with this much talent... They're a rare gem that never hit the mainstream and maybe that's what keeps them so special in the fan base that still exists even years after they broke up.

Before signing to Phil Walden's legendary jam-rock label, Capricorn, Chicago's Freddy Jones Band--so dubbed though no one in the band is actually named Freddy Jones--released this indie disc that introduced their likable blues-rock sound and roots-savvy ensemble work. Guitarist Wayne Healey's singing and Santana-esque lead guitar, as well as Rob Bonaccorsi's homey lap steel and slide accompaniment, bounce nicely against singer Marty Lloyd's gravely shades of Little Feat's Lowell George and Gregg Allman. With a palette of folky acoustic filigrees, echo-driven guitar lines, jazzy vamps, and sunny sing-alongs like "This Time Around" and "Peace by Piece," the Jones Band's debut is an accessible, middle-of-the-road rock record that nevertheless reaches great heights of focused musicality and honest American song craft. --James Rotondi

the Edge?.......2005-06-18

"a little to much edge." ??!!? I like the edge! I mean I REALLY like the edge! Its the key to FJB sound. cheers

Great Band To See Live!!!!!.......2004-03-02

I've seen the Freddy Jones Band play live in Chicago and Milwaukee several times and have always had such a great time! This CD reminds me a lot of hearing them play. If you're a fan of FJB this one's for you! The version of "In A Daydream" on this CD is my favorite version ever.

FJB.......2001-10-18

First and only FJB CD I own, if you are a FJB fan this is a must have. Outstanding CD, great music if you like this style.

A great beginning.......2000-02-17

If you're looking for the album that wraps up the Freddy Jones band in one nutshell, this is it.

A great mix of both studio and live cuts that give you a great feel for their sound.

If there is one drawback, it would be that you really have to be in the mood to listen to this album. A few of the tracks can drag on a little, and Wayne Healy's guitar can get to ear-piercing pitches at times. A little too much edge, that the band learned to lose in their future releases.

If you're a fan of the Allman Brothers, and are looking to diversify your tastes just a little, give this one a shot.

One Word- AWESOME!.......1999-11-29

That is just it. This Cd is awesome. No other one word in the English language can describe this music so well. If you love Widespread Panic then you will go crazy over the Freddy Jones Band. Their music is true. The tunes like Stepping Stone and In A Daydream will become instant favorites. They are relaxing, invigorating, or just plain awesome.

Great set of wartime rarities.......2003-05-14

Spike Jones was the king of the novelty song performers, with hits like "Der Fuehrer's Face" and the parody version of "Sheik of Araby" becoming huge hits during World War II. This is a swell 3-CD set, gathering a full eighty-one of Jones' best tracks from his 1940s heyday, drawn from an extensive archive of radio broadcasts made for the Standard Transcription service. The tightness of his City Slickers band is amply demonstrated in these manic, kookily orchestrated performances. Toots, squonks, blatts and bleats whiz by at lightning speed, as one daffy song after another will delight devoted fans. Amazingly, Jones had the unusual, almost unique ability to perform a repertoire almost entirely made up of comedic material, and yet still be quite listenable and engaging. His jazz chops were hardly in question, and from time to time Jones would dash off a non-novelty ballad or two, just to give the rubes something to think about. Of course, just as often he would perform a song that *sounded* like a straight ballad, but would turn out to be another goof. (One great example of this is the sultry "Serenade To A Jerk," sung in slinky, burlesque tones by Myrtle Horwin.) This collection may seem a little overwhelming, but like his studio recordings, these radio performances have a certain brilliance and joie de vivre about them that will leave you enchanted. Definitely worth checking out!

Standard Transcription Collection.......2003-04-12

This collection has remastered material from the large stack of Standard Transcription discs from the early 1940's. There are many songs not recorded on RCA, many on the theme of wartime ("48 Reasons Why"), and the quality is excellent. The packaging is threadbare but this is an essential CD package for true music lovers.
