Two lesser Kingston trio albums, one studio and one live.......2003-05-24

Not that there is any particular rhyme or reason to which two Kingston Trio albums are being put together on Collector's Choice CDs, but this one is rather interesting. The 1962 album "Something Special" was a studio album that covered mostly old traditional folk songs like "Go Tell It On the Mountain" and "Old Joe Clark" spruced up by a full orchestra playing behind the boys. In contrast, the 1964 album "Back in Town" was a live album, featuring the Kingston Trio at San Francisco's "Hungry i" where they performed their big hit "Tom Dooley," but unless you are a devotee of the group you will be unfamiliar with most of these songs. My preference is for the later live album, mainly because I like my folk music to have a more authentic sound. While I like "One More Town," the musical accompaniment does not need to have anything more than guitars and banjo as far as I am concerned. Besides, there is just a much better feel to the live performances, which includes the jokes and banter along with the singing (e.g., "Farewell Captain," "So Hi"). I would rate "Something Special" as a 3 and "Back in Town" as a 4, rounding up because, after all, you are getting two albums on one CD. Final thought: there is a two year gap between the albums and one is studio while the other is live, but notice that there are no duplications on any of the songs, which might be the ultimate logic behind this pairing in the end.

One out of Two ant' bad.......2001-08-20

Let me just say that this CD is worth the price for "Back in Town" alone. The only reason I'm giving it 3 stars and not 5 is that "Something Special" is really not. The song selectons are not the best--and they--to me anyway--are OVER produced. The Kingston Trio were always best in their 'rawist' form,ie live--in concert or in the studio--no strings, no backup vocals.

Unique Kingston Trio Recordings.......2000-07-28

The SOMETHING SPECIAL-BACK IN TOWN Kingston Trio CD is a combination of two unique KT recordings. I had both albums many years ago but they were in mono sound so the high quality CD recording seems especially outstanding. The songs on SOMETHING SPECIAL all have an orchestra background. While the sound is not traditional KT, I think the strings add a beautiful touch to "One More Town" and "Pulling Away." BACK IN TOWN is a live recording at San Francisco's Hungry i. Along with some excellent songs ("Ann" "Farewell Captain") it captures the feeling of a classic KT concert by including the jokes and stories spoken between the songs. There is a slight variation from the old album. Rather than start each selection with talking and ending with a song, the CD selections start with the song and end with talking. A great collection!

good old reggae.......2001-01-23

you love the old reggae from the '60's? heartbeat has it. this recording is all hits, not a bad tune on the disc. all the tunes are produced by clancy eccles. most of the cuts are rock steady, but the best one, come together, is not. no reggae/rap here, wasn't invented yet (like beanyman), just beautiful melodies and a non-stop beat. this recording passes my test of great music, it effortlessly transends the generation gap. whenever i find a disc that i can't stop listening to i hand it over to my daughter to get her opinion, (I'm 46 and she is 19), if she loves it too then i know for sure it's great. don't believe me? listen to a few clips, you too will be hooked (and so will your kids).

One of the cleanest, shiniest feel-good tracks by UB40.......2003-08-19

You know this song: glistening like pools in the sun after a tropical rain, with simple and clean Carribean beat, it lifts your spirits and cleanses your soul. I know there is nothing ground-breaking or revolutionary in it, just a massive and juicy dose of feel-good factor.

One of the finest tracks by this band, named after Unemployment Benefit form, has nothing to do with employment or unemployment, or any forms whatsoever. It is a pure and distilled dream of ideal leisure, unattainable yet tempting like any dream of perfect hapiness which we never seem to touch but which we continue chasing.
