4 out of 5 stars Great movie, better soundtrack.......2007-05-19

I just recently saw this movie and the only thing I could think about afterwards was that I had to get this soundtrack. I'm not usually a big fan of movie soundtracks, but this cd is unlike any other out there, soundtrack or not. The use of strings and carnaval type instruments is completely unique and makes this a must by for any fan of music.

5 out of 5 stars great collection of unusual music.......2007-05-07

Rented the movie on reccomendation from Netflix, it was pretty good. But the music was the star of the show. The soundtrack follows the course of the movie pretty closely, it's kind of like listening to the movie. Each track brings to mind a specific scene in the movie. One of the highlights is the ecclectic treatment of Burt Bacharach's "Close to You". Most will remember the super-sweet Carpenter's version, but this interpretation was the main reason I bought the music. Unusual augmented chord progressions and almost minimalist format (complete with the mechanical background sounds made by the female jack-in-the-box-like, life-sized, mostly metal toy dressers) make the tune as captivating as in the movie when they 'convert' the trapped Helena into the black princess. Great music to play while relaxing, too.

5 out of 5 stars Supurb.......2007-03-08

This soundtrack is truly a delight to listen to. It ranges from quirky circus music to deep and melodic mysterious tunes. It is a great CD to relax to and to use as background music for most any relaxing time hanging out with friends.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing!.......2007-02-24

This is a very good soundtrack to a very good movie. The music is amazingly composed and is nice to listen to.

5 out of 5 stars excellent.......2007-01-17

This CD is excellent! All the music from the movie in its entirety, all the songs are complete songs, and the songs are all top notch compositions.

Amazon.com

Despite its title, the first nationally released album by this Texas maverick establishes Robison as considerably more than a good-time Charlie. From the sardonic bite of "Sunset Boulevard" and "You're Not the Best" to the alcohol-fueled, nursery-rhyme whimsy of "Barlight," Robison provides a compelling blend of roadhouse swagger, whiplash humor, and an ornery streak that stretches from Austin to San Antonio. Label-mate brother Bruce Robison and Bruce's wife Kelly Willis provide vocal support, and the smoky balladry of the album-closing "Molly's Blues" would do John Prine or Steve Earle proud. Amid a musical landscape littered with alt-country wannabes and tinhorn rebels, Charlie Robison is the real deal, an artist who sticks to his guns. --Don McLeese

5 out of 5 stars Another great songwriter from Texas.......2007-05-20

Distinctive voice, good band, great writer with a wide selection of topics.

5 out of 5 stars Totally underrated.......2006-03-19

Charlie Robison is an AMAZING song writer and he's been around a while and gets little recognition! He's married to one of the Dixie Chicks, but what people don't realize is that he was writing songs for her and other popular artists long before!

2 out of 5 stars Everybody needs a little Charlie Robison.......2003-06-16

Everybody needs a little Charlie Robison -- to make you laugh and cry and spill beer on yourself for one reason or another.

He gets better with age. If you're only going to buy one Robison CD, hold out for "Live" (four stars) or "Live Unchained" (five stars).

This one is an early work and of interest to Robisonophiles, but the rest of us can hear the same songs played better on his more mature albums.

4 out of 5 stars Rough Hewn Alt-Country Classic.......2002-03-16

What you see is what you get with this Bandera, Texas native. A straight-shooting, hard-working, singing/songwriting country boy with wisdom beyond his years and a Dylanesque edge to his whiskey-soaked voice. His writing soars at times: "Loving County," "Sunset Boulevard," and "Indianola" are stellar first person tales of unrequited love and war. "My Hometown" is the gem, a hilarious tale of a young man's ambition and having to come to terms with his own reality of buried dreams. Robison uses uncontrived blue collar commonality with the ease of someone who's convinced it's time to enjoy the fruits of his labors, and it's hard to argue with good old-fashioned hard work.

5 out of 5 stars Better and better each time you listen to it.......2002-01-31

I had this CD for about two weeks, and each time I have listened to it, I find more and more to love. There is really not a weak song on this CD. From the uptempo movers ( like "Poor Man's Son" and "Barlight") to the hillarious ("You're Not the Best") to the story songs (from the gritty "Waiting for the Mail" to the more light-hearted "My Hometown" to the love-and-crime ballad "Loving County"), Charlie can do it all. This is one CD that will not disappoint any fan of good and true country music.

Album Description

Spirited new sounds from across the sea to the shores of the New Land. From the first colonists to the American Revolution and the birth of our republic Hesperus Early Music Ensemble's music reflects a time of new ideas, freedom and vitality. In town and village, parlor and ballroom, from the Appalachians to the great concert halls hear the musical pulse of early American music performed on a wide variety of folk and early music instruments. Includes: lively country-dance tunes, evocative Shape Note Hymns, old time Appalachian fiddle tunes, graceful European parlor music, French cotillions, divisions and improvisations. Introduction -The English Colonies in America were a patchwork-not just of territories whose boundaries became state lines, but of people from different places and classes with widely different values and experiences. This recording presents music from that patchwork; from England, the Colonial homeland; Scotland and Ireland, the homes of the largest groups of immigrants outside England; and France, the ally of the Patriots, and music written in the United States. More recordings by HESPERUS from Maggie's Music are Celtic Roots featuring Scottish fiddler, Bonnie Rideout and Early American Roots. Hesperus Ensemble is THE sought after musical group for period music that is both authentic, and most important fun, lively and spirited. They are frequent performers at the Smithsonian's Institute of American Music and can be heard on the soundtrack or the Paramount film with Johnny Depp entitled Sleepy Hollow! Excerpts from liner notes:2.A Set of English Country Dance Tunes: Maiden Lane, Jack O'Lent, Chestnut, Bonny Broom - The visionary London music publisher John Playford first published his English Dancing Master in 1651. It was reprinted 18 times over the next 77 years and is still popular today. 3. Parting Friends/Primrose - These tunes have come down to us in choral arrangements called shape-note hymns .

5 out of 5 stars GREAT!.......2007-05-20

This cd travels everywhere with me and you can easily imagine a ball at Monticello given by Mr. Jefferson when you hear it.
Try not to daydream too much while driving as i had done several times..lol..it's hard not to with this cd..:)
Perfect for a colonial reenactment or party.

5 out of 5 stars A relaxing journey into our Colonial past.......2006-03-16

I bought this CD to provide me with another dimension to my studies of period events. It truly contains a wealth of music, and takes it place as an important addition to my musical library. Living in the Mt Vernon area, I often travel with the CD playing while visiting historical places, and it provides a wonderful companion to "set the mood" for the myriad locations in the area. The quality of the sound is remarkable, the musicians superb, and the breadth of song selection provides a musical landscape for the period. Highly recommended!!

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic!.......2004-03-04

I first heard the "Colonial America" CD by Hesperus when I visited Monticello recently (the home of Thomas Jefferson) where they were playing the songs in the gift shop. Imagine my dismay to find that only one cassette tape was left of the fabulous music of Hesperus; however, that tape held me spell-bound all the way home, from Virginia to North Carolina.

It was an incredible journey from the past that has stayed with me since, and every day I drive that one hour back and forth to work. This music has changed everything about the trips, and I can't wait for more.

Thanks to Amazon.com I was able to buy all three CD's, including "Early American Roots," "Colonial America" and the incredible "Celtic Roots" with the most beautiful violas imaginable.

Thank you Hesperus! Please play more!

5 out of 5 stars Cold Mountain type music that's great.......2003-11-15

Novels and movies like Cold Mountain, Oh Brother Where Art Thou? and Song Catchers are showing the growing interest in traditional music and this recording hits the mark. It is music from the days of early America--the time when the first colonists come to America. You can hear the fiddle playing tunes still popular in the Appalachian mountains today and also hear shape note music arranged by Hesperus as wonderful instrumentals. The music takes you to a time when folks were making music in their homes-before TV, before the internet! This recording is good for teachers or educational purposes too- with informative liner notes. All the music is played on folk and early music instruments and it's lively and an enjoyable listen.

What's the Fubu record label's inaugural release about? Says FB Entertainment artist Amazin': "Money. Cool. Girls. Cool. Diamonds. Cool. Cars. Cool." Demonstrating the album's superficiality, track one consists of celebrities such as Michael Jordan and Ice-T leaving messages on the "Good Life Party" RSVP line; the album henceforth maintains its mercilessly ghetto-fabulous pace. The title song displays Nas and Nate Dogg's remarkable ability to rhyme about nothing, R&B journeyman Joe croons about his love for the "Ghetto Girl," and "50 N****s Deep" showcases Detroit newcomer Drunken Master. Songs by Beenie Man and Supercat mix in a bit of dancehall flavor, while Dawn Robinson's contribution, "Set It Off," adds some needed style and finesse. The Good Life is a millennium thug party for those who live to floss. --Rebecca Levine

2 out of 5 stars Never listen to an old chinese guy with yellow glasses about hiphop.......2005-07-24

Now I know this, I was just minding myself in the recordstore looking for a RAPPIN 4-TAY-album when this old chinese guy wearing a blue suit and yellow glasses came up to me and asked me if I liked hiphopmusic.
I told him yes , and then he litterary threw this cd in my face.
He said: "This is the bombdiggity... Yes?" I said I don't know haven't heard it...
Anyways he somehow convinced me to buy the cd for 7 dollars, I went home put the stereo on and felt robbed.
Although there are a few cool cuts on it most is so so stuff.

After this expeience I will never take any advice from an old chinese guy with yellow glasses about what albums to buy.

3 out of 5 stars Could Be Better.......2002-07-16

The FB Entertainment Goodlife Album is an OK blend of rap and r&b, but, there's something missing in the album that makes it good enough to be the next Funkmaster Flex Mix Tape. There's no doubt it features high performance appearrences by rap allstars like Nas and Nate Dogg on the title track "Good Life". R.O.C takes a cut on "The End" and Ludacris, LL Cool J (who has been Fubu's posterboy for the past few years), and Kieth Murray on the upbeat hit single "Fatty Girl".

A very interesting appearence happens from hip hop newcomer Mr. Cheeks on his own hit single "Lights, Camera, Action" and other hip hop superweights like Erick Sermon, India_Arie, and Joe show up later in the album.

I would highly recommend "The Goodlife" to someone who loves cash, bling, and booty. If your someone, however, who enjoys more commercial rap like Jay-Z and Nelly, you'll probably wanna buy one of their albums instead.

So, in all, the FB Entertainment "Good Life" Album is an OK blend of rap, soul, and hip hop that deserves a listen, but, here's a little note to FUBU: Stick To Making Great Clothes Instead Of Great Music.

This cd is supposed to the good life of FUBU but yet the rhymes are not all that tight or good. Their rhymes arent really about money or representing. Even though the cd is mediocre at best, the song Fatty Girl is tight as hell. I wouldnt recommend buying this cd, but everybody should check out Fatty Girl.

Amazon.com

Standup comedian, actress, and singer Lea DeLaria presents a less confrontational image here than she did on 1994's Bulldyke in a China Shop, adopting the role of seductive, witty, confident, and heterosexual jazz chanteuse to perfection. Her voice ranges from little-girl-lost innocence to harder-edged tones, both suited to the opening "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd." With stylings from Billie Holiday to Judy Garland, "I've Got Your Number" heads straight for the heart of 1950s big-band balladry, improvised scat vocals proving DeLaria can swing with the best. "Cool" is anything but, the accompaniment understated, that voice dripping with the promise of sex. In "With Every Breath I Take," we get to imagine every late night smoky bar in every old Hollywood film we've ever seen--while it is pastiche, the characterization is startlingly evocative.

DeLaria sums it up with "All That Jazz," confidently suggesting, following her recent twin roles in the lavishly acclaimed 2000 Broadway revival of The Rocky Horror Show, that this girl just wants to have fun playing bad. When she sings "Life Has Been Good to Me," she has such an upbeat twinkle, you suspect she means every word. --Gary S. Dalkin

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars if you like female jazz vocalists you'll love this album.......2004-07-27

I wish Delaria would put out more albums like this one. Her voice and interpretation of the songs on the album are really great and withstand lots of repeat plays. Highly recommended. Many of the cuts are worth 5 stars, but I didn't really like all of her song choices, so that's why I rated the album 4 stars.

5 out of 5 stars Everyone does it, and seldom as well..........2004-04-10

All I can say is...WOW.
When my partner and I saw Lea perform her routine in P-town, she wowed us with a stunning version of one of my all-time favorites, "The Ballad of Sweeny Todd." We bought her CD on the spot and it stayed in my car's CD player for weeks on end (and then I only took it out because I had to switch cars).
I enjoyed the whole album, but I found myself playing the first track over and over, and even singing it in the shower. I must disagree with the "Cigar" review on all counts, at least regarding this track. The song lends itself so beautifully to swingin' jazz I can't believe nobody thought of it before. But I'm glad no one has, because Lea DeLaria knocks it out of the park. The smooth delivery is perfect for the dry humor of the lyrics, her belts are such a perfect blend of head and chest it sends chills up my spine, and the arrangement is spot-on. The best part - it stands up beautifully to repeat listenings; I just can't grow tired of this rendition. The opening track alone is worth twice the price of this CD.

Its muscular aura of international intrigue informed by smart characters, sharp writing, and a sleek cinematic sense, the episodes of the hit Alias often seem more like a chapters of a successful movie spy franchise than mere network television series. Key to achieving that masterful illusion is young composer Michael Giacchino, whose soundtracks range across a dizzying range of musical styles and dramatic undercurrents. This anthology of cues from the show's first season incorporates shrewd, techno-savvy club beats, sweeping orchestral sequences of pounding action, brooding suspense worthy of Bond, and inventive indigenous music of indeterminate nationality. Firmly grounded in rich Hollywood traditions, yet hip enough to keep an ear cocked to pulsing, contemporary styles, Giacchino's TV scores often outshine those of the pricier, big budget Hollywood boilerplate he's competing with. --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars Perfect soundtrack to a nearly perfect TV show.......2005-03-17

If Henry Mancini and Ferry Corsten collaborated on a TV soundtrack for a spy drama set in the 21st Century, the results couldn't be any better than Michael Giacchino's work on this CD. Giacchino can compose for an orchestra like the best of them, but he's also savvy enough to add a contemporary edge with multiple nods to electronica. Synth pads and drum loops are phased through various low-pass and comb filters on several selections here, resulting in a delicious, chewy-sounding percussive effect. Other reviewers have commented on this being a great exercise CD; I agree and would also add that this is a great CD for driving or browsing through glossy photo magazines.

My favorite pieces on the CD are "SD-6 Dance Party," "Red Hair is Better," and "Spanish Heist." I've no idea who the guitarist is on the latter two cuts, but he's quite good!

I recommend this first and foremost to anyone who fears that soundtracks are a dead medium; Giacchino's a challenging composer and takes some real risks. Alias fans will snatch this up (although it doesn't include any soundbites from the TV series), as will anyone willing to play both techno and retro lounge on their CD players. Completists may not be happy with this CD as none of the popular music heard in the show is reproduced here, nor is the torch song Jennifer Garner sang in one episode. But that's what future installments of Alias soundtrack CDs are for!

5 out of 5 stars Best TV Soundtrack.......2005-01-09

This is well worth your money for any Alias fan, and it's better than most movie scores.

5 out of 5 stars The Best soundtrack EVER from a TV series!.......2004-08-23

I think the title says it all, but it's true. I bought this CD knowing and loving the show and realizing just what the music adds to all of the highly enjoyable adrenaline rush scenes. This CD does not disappoint. I now exercise/kick box to it and if your pumped up by just watching the series, you'll really enjoy playing this CD in your car while driving....just try not to get a speeding ticket because the impulse to floor it will definately be there!!

I just received Johnson's "Life of the Party" and boy is it smoking!!!! This is not remotely your typical "smooth jazz " cd. Outstanding playing plus slick cutting edge arrangements make this gentlemans work a true winner in my book. Pick up yours today ,cause you can't have mine!!!

4 out of 5 stars Good Sax!.......2006-02-02

Not only is Joe Johnson a good musician, I admire the fact that he is donating a portion of the proceeds to further research of lupus. Very worth cause, and very noble!

5 out of 5 stars Up beat, smooth and twisted vibes for your mind. A Must buy!!!.......2005-08-06

All I can say is that as soon as this cd arrived weeks back I was absolutely captivated by its smooth and funky feel. A mixture of smooth jazz with an R & B twist. This cd can be played to mellow down as well as in your car stuck in traffic. My kids love listening to it during nap time.

Truly a lovely cd. BUY THIS CD you will not be disappointed!

5 out of 5 stars Life of the Party.......2005-07-25

Definitely a winner! The more I listen, the more I love it!

5 out of 5 stars Smooth as Silk!.......2005-03-15

From start to finish this CD is awesome! It's so smooth that we're keeping it on repeat. It's the perfect "let's just chill tonight" CD. Life of the Party has a great mix of familiar and new melodies. You can't help but smile as you reminisce about the good times. Jazz lovers old and new will love this project. It's what urban jazz should be about, smooth as silk. This CD is a keeper.

    I think this title is the best one Freak Nasty has done. It is much better than the previous one as it has many more song to listen to. The bass is really brought out in this album. It is really good. I recommend you buy it.
