5 out of 5 stars Songs To Remember.......2007-04-05

I have the original LP. I got in when I was in french immersion school in MD back in the late 70's. I am currently teaching my children french and am so glad to see this now comes on CD. I remember every song that I sang back in elemtary and the words of the singers so clear and the voices are such a delight to hear. This album brings back so many good memories. I cannot wait to share these songs wiith my children.

5 out of 5 stars Delightful!.......2007-02-13

Our three boys (6y, 4y, and 2y) *love* this cd! We listen to it almost every day. The music is cheerful and gentle and the singers are pleasant to listen to.

5 out of 5 stars Best Silly Songs for Tots.......2006-05-30

These songs are universally appealing to the 2 - 6 y.o. age group to whom I teach French. The arrangements are clear, sparkling, and very entertaining. The gregarious spirit of the album draws kids into repeating and singing along with little concern for content. As they become more interested and start asking questions, parents can find lyrics, and in some cases history, of these classic songs by entering titles into an international search engine.

5 out of 5 stars Simply wonderful.......2005-11-03

I am so glad I bought this and will buy it as gifts for others. The musical arrangements are lovely (to mother, young child, and baby) and Lucienne Vernay has such a beautiful, clean and simple voice. What a delight to listen to.

5 out of 5 stars Wish there were more like this for kids!.......2004-05-28

I thought the songs/tunes were very nice but couldn't understand most of the lyrics even though I took years of French in college and high school. My daughter (6) doesn't seem to care. Wish I could find more bilingual songs -- I highly recommend Global Village Kids Sing and Learn CD -- they have nursery rhymes in French and English. Since the words are familiar to my daughter, she can pick up the French meaning. Does anyone know of any more bilingual music like that?

4 out of 5 stars Maybe not their best CD, but still worth your while.......2007-06-24

Yes, there's quite a few songs (most of them actually) that are not exactly brand new. But one might also call them "classics". And I was pleasanlty surprised how well Gaelic Storm performed those. Especially "The Beggarman" had me happily tapping my feet, not to mention "Courtin' In The Kitchen", "Nancy Whiskey" and "Tell Me Ma".

For fans of Gaelic Storm - it's probably not their best CD but you'll love to listen to it anyways.
For those unfamiliar with the group - this CD has loads of Irish classics with a little "Gaelic torm" twist and is great fun. You might just want to come back for more - I'd recommend "Bring Yer Wellies" next!

4 out of 5 stars I think it's GREAT!!.......2006-02-02

This is my first GS c.d. and I think it's a good one for someone unfamiliar with the group outside of "Titanic". The songs are very catchy and memorable. The problem with some Celtic music is the sonic similarity from song to song; it can be hard to distinguish one tune from another. (it's not a criticism, just an observation, relax!) but that is bound to happen given the unique to Celtic music instruments. GS serves up a c.d. platter that avoids the redundancy trap. This one will get lots of play especially as we get closer to St. Patrick's Day. Put this in your changer with Cherish the Ladies "Woman of the House" for a nice Gaelic/Celtic mix!

4 out of 5 stars Gaelic Storm is AWESOME!!.......2004-06-03

I bought this CD after seeing them live and it just kept the great experience going! The songs on this CD are fun and energetic while giving a good sample of the rest of their work. I definitely recomend it to any fan of Celtic music!

5 out of 5 stars wow!.......2004-04-26

I have never been to a concert where so many people got up and danced around the room! Gaelic Storm brought feelings of community and happiness to my college last Friday night, and I have not stopped listening to their CD since! I didn't want them to leave. If you've never listening to Gaelic Storm, give them a try! You'll be addicted!!!

5 out of 5 stars Great group!.......2004-04-24

I just saw Gaelic Storm in concert last night at my school...They were GREAT!!! Everyone was dancing in the isles and clapping their hands. The groupe was also very interactive with our group!! I bought the CD and loved it as as well. It will always be a great memory of the concert :)

Product Description

Everybody loves a wedding--especially a wonderful, lively and crazy ITALIAN one! That is why the nationally acclaimed, San Diego-based band, ROMAN HOLIDAY, decided to create the ultimate Italian Wedding CD, filled with lively and passionate Italian wedding favorites guaranteed to fill the reception hall with plenty of "AMORE." As an added bonus, the CD features a 16-page "How To" booklet that takes the prospective bride and groom, wedding planner, or DJ step-by-step through an Italian American Wedding reception. The booklet describes each part of the reception itinerary and gives a history of the traditional Italian wedding songs played at each segment, which corresponds to a listing on the CD track. Recorded live in a state-of-the-art studio using up to 25 performers, the musical selections include traditional songs to accompany the Grand Entrance/ Bridal Party Processional, the First Dance, the Father-Daughter Dance, the Mother-Son Dance, the Grand March, the Tarantella, the Cake Cutting and Money Dance. In addition, Italian wedding favorites such as "That's Amore," the "Chicken Dance," and "C'é La Luna Mezza Mare" are included. The CD also includes selections of swing, mambo, and tango music and even gives an outline of how to dance the Tarantella, a definite "must do" at an Italian wedding. "If you ask people what comes into mind when they think of an Italian American wedding, they'll mention the good food and all the fun they had dancing to the music," said Tony DiBona, band leader and producer of the Italian Wedding CD. "All the cherished Italian American traditions come together at a wedding celebration and the music is truly the heart and soul of the Italian wedding experience-after the food, of course!" The CD is a perfect choice for wedding couples of Italian American heritage who want to keep traditional customs alive but need a guide to help them along. "We packaged the CD so that the DJ in Topeka or the wedding coordinator in Baton Rouge can produce an authentic Italian American wedding-- even if the closest Italian community is hundreds of miles away," said DiBona. "If you are an Italian American and are planning a wedding reception around your heritage, this is the guide for you. And if you're neither Italian nor planning a wedding, we bet you'll still be moved to clap your hands and move your feet when you listen to these lively and romantic songs," DiBona added. It is also a wonderful compilation of favorite Italian songs, performed by excellent musicians, to be enjoyed by ANYONE who loves Italian and Italian American music. The ROMAN HOLIDAY show band, now in its tenth year, has performed for festivals and corporate events in cities across the country and has appeared in several Hollywood films. Their lively and colorful show includes a wide repertoire of Italian-style music and dance.

5 out of 5 stars The VERY BEST Italian wedding CD available.......2007-02-23

I can't tell you how much money we spent buying every CD with ITALIAN WEDDING in its title. As first generation Italian Americans, we wanted to salute our heritage at our daughter's wedding. One of the last CDs we bought was this one, from a relatively unknown band, but it saved the day. The music, fresh and original, live arrangements of all the songs we wanted, was a huge hit. The "How To Plan an Italian Wedding" booklet in the CD helped us so very much. . .Roman Holiday could sell that alone for the price of the CD...but you get both! Anyone who wants lively, fun Italian party music can't go wrong with this CD either...it's great for any fun Italian party or birthday, annivesary, whatever. Anyway, we thought this is the best Italian CD we've bought in a long time and I just wanted to tell the world about it. There is so much recycled stuff out there that bores you to tears, but this is the best in our humble opinion.

5 out of 5 stars The Best Collection Ever.......2007-02-03

As soon as I listened to it, I closed my eyes and felt the Italian Wedding atmosphere.
Great CD.

5 out of 5 stars This is the BEST Italian wedding/party CD out there-don't be fooled by cheaper CDs.......2006-07-11

GRAZIE A DIO for this CD! We are an Italian American family with roots in Southern Italy and Sicily. The songs are beautifully performed and are lively and moving at the same time.

The booklet was an added bonus that helped us with the reception. The author wrote about all the old traditions we remembered as kids growing up in the Italian community. All we had to do is hand the book to the wedding planner, and she knew what we wanted.

We bought all sorts of "Italian Wedding" CDs before we found this one, and this one was by far the WINNER. Okay, it was not the cheapest out there, but you really get what you pay for! Wish we could have saved the money we wasted on all the inferior ones, but we found out about this one only because a DJ friend recommended it.

Can highly recommend to anyone planning an Italian wedding, or any other Italian themed event. It would work for so many happy occasions.

We feel we needed to add our comments, as we enjoyed it so much and wanted to spread the word among our cumpahs. We like the fact this musical group took the old songs and gave them new life.

Viva la musica italiana!

1 out of 5 stars Read the fine print.......2006-07-09

Being born and raised in America with Italian parents,this cd was not for me. If I had known that some nobody was singing these great songs I would have never bought it. Where are Connie Francis, Loui Primo, Dean Martin, Rosemary Clooney, Jerry Vale? These songs where butchered by these people who can't sing! I won't embaress my family by playing this at my wedding.

5 out of 5 stars Bellisimno.......2006-06-09

I am a non-Italian trying to plan an Italian themed wedding. This CD was the BEST first step for me. I received the CD many months ago and have been referring to it ever since. Besides GREAT songs, they offer a description of what dance/tradition takes place during each song. My wedding is only two weeks away and I am still refering back to this CD. It has been a true inspiration!!

Album Description

The sounds for this series were recorded in 3D by Chuck Plaisance. His recording system is designed to simulate human hearing, using a binaural head microphone to capture depth, height, width, as well as directional movement. No special equipment is needed to get 3D sound from traditional stereo speakers. In fact, these albums will make your system - speakers or headphones - sound like it never has before. You are the experience.

All pieces contain compositions of pure Nature Sounds produced, arranged, edited and mastered by Chuck Plaisance and Suzanne Doucet. (aka Virtual Audio Environment).

5 out of 5 stars Perfect To Fall Asleep To.......2006-07-20

I bought this CD because I didn't really know which type of sound I'd relax most too be it ocean, rain, forest, etc. Well I love all the sounds on this sampler, and I play it every night. My hubby says that 20 mins into the CD there's a rooster crowing, but I wouldn't know because by that time I'm already fast asleep. Great stuff!

5 out of 5 stars 3-Dimensional Pure Nature Sounds.......2005-11-21

This excellent compilation of 20 different Nature Sound albums was out of print, but is now finally available again through ONLY NEW AGE MUSIC(repackaged and remastered). This album creates a journey through different Nature scenes all recorded by Chuck Plaisance, with a special microphone that simulates human hearing. The sounds were then edited and composed, arranged and mixed like an orchestrated piece but still remain pure Sounds of Nature. Like Bernie Krause Doucet and Plaisance take essential Nature Sounds and recreate an ambience that takes you even deeper into the essence of Nature.

3 out of 5 stars Merry Christmas, My Friends!.......2007-07-16

LeAnn Rimes is one of my favourite artists. Her voice is amazing and the songs are usually great. This album is quite a good one. Well, the songs are probably too peaceful. I would have wished more rocking songs like the opening track "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree". The album is not so good as a normal album but I bet it is great to listen to in Christmas time.
Stars: Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree, A Different Kind of Christmas, All I Want for Christmas

5 out of 5 stars LeAnn Rimes' First Christmas album.......2007-03-07

A great mixture of Classic Holiday songs. With 10 tracks (11 with the Target Exclusive Bonus Track "Santa Baby") this album has 8 (9 with "Santa Baby") 2 brand new song she co-wrote: "A Different Kind Of Christmas" & "Just Love Me" (which her husband, Dean Sheremet also co-wrote with her).

I think LeAnn Rimes deserves a big round of applause for this great CD.

1 out of 5 stars just plain awful.......2006-01-06

Now, don't get me wrong, I actually happen to be a fan of Ms. Rimes. I bought this Christmas CD to add to my collection, and totally wasted my money. Her voice on this CD is just atrocious and annoying, and her butchery of "Oh Holy Night" is just plain obscene. Stick with her regular CD's and pass on this one , if you know what is good for you.

3 out of 5 stars Not what I expected from a singer of LeAnn's calibre.........2005-12-07

It is okay. Not great, just okay. I love LeAnn Rimes, and this is not her best. The singing is just ehh, nothing amazing, and she does too much jumping around. It's good if you can add your own touch to a song to liven it up a bit, but LeAnn overdoes it. It is okay if you want a mediocre christmas album. I wouldn't buy it again.

If you are actually unlucky enough to have heard Christina Aguilera's Christmas album and this one, I swear that LeAnn copied off of several of Christina's badly sung songs! It's hilarious. She sings it exactly the same "unique" way, arrangements and all!

5 out of 5 stars good christmas music.......2005-11-30

this cd is good. leann rimes has been my personal favorite for many years. she does good songs and has a wonderful voice! i like her a lot. so if you like leann rimes and country music, then get this cd!! im giving it 5 stars. it's money well spent. i like almost all the songs on here, like "Rockin Around the Christmas Tree to name 1. again, get this cd. well worth every penny!!!

When Chris Blackwell signed Buckwheat Zydeco to Island Records in the mid-1980s, he may have been hoping that zydeco would break out internationally the way reggae did in the 1970s. It never happened, though Buck gave it his best shot with a series of crossover-friendly projects featuring high-profile guests. Where There's Smoke is as good as any of them. The album was produced by Los Lobos' David Hidalgo and featured Dwight Yoakam sitting in on a cover of Hank Williams's "Hey, Good Lookin'." There's also a cover of the Rolling Stones' "Beast of Burden" and a version of "Route 66" featuring Hidalgo on vocals and guitar. But the best tracks are the old-fashioned accordion rave-ups, like "Buck's Hot Rod" and "Pour Tout Quelqu'un." --Rick Mitchell

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Soooooooooo good!.......2005-06-07

I have had this CD for a couple of years, and I just got it out the other night. Had to listen to it again as I wait for his new CD to arrive. Man oh man, this is good. I dare you to put this CD on and NOT get moving. This could be his best, but I reserve judgment until the new one ("Jackpot") arrives.

5 out of 5 stars One of his very best.......2000-07-09

Buckwheat zydeco has been bringing zydeco music to the massess for at least 20 years now and "where There's Smoke There's Fire" is truly one of his best CDs that is not a compilation. The production is perfect. all of the instruments jump out at your ears and the band is in top form. The songs flow beautifully from one to the next. The disc starts off with "What You Gonna Do" and just when you think your heart can't pump any faster they blast into "Buck's Hot rod", a sort of jump blues instrumental with one of the most blistering sax solos I've ever heard. The duette with dwight Yoakam on "Hey Good Lookin'" is excellent and their voices harmonize very well together. One of the highlight tracks is buckwheat's cover of 'Beast of burden." they slow down the tempo and add in some nice acoustic guitar. shoot me if you want to, but I think it's much better than the Stones version even though they are the ones who wrote the song. If you don't own any Buckweat zydeco CDs start with the "Zydeco Party" compilation to get a representative picture of his 80's sound and pick up "where There's smoke There's Fire" to hear some of his best music to date and be ready to shake it up!

2 out of 5 stars Not a good complation.......2007-03-30

If you are new to the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem then I would suggest a complation like this to you. There are better ones out there, but this is an okay one to start with. If you are a true fan and are sick of all the complations, then DON'T get this one. Send a petition to Columbia Records demanding that they release the original LP's to CD!

5 out of 5 stars Best of all Irish Singers.......2005-08-23

The Clancy Brothers are without a doubt the best of all Irish singers, if you like Irish music, you must have this one.

5 out of 5 stars Most are live and that's a good thing.......2002-01-01

Some musicians should be hear live and some should not. The Clancy Brothers are one of those rare groups that just need to be heard live (the studio recordings are perfect too so don't get me wrong).

There is such a personability with the Clancy Brothers to their audience. Lot of humor and nice intros to their songs. I agree that this album could have been longer than 30 minutes, but at least it is 30 minutes of very entertaining and popular Clancy Brothers music.

It is very worth the small price you pay. Trust me!

5 out of 5 stars A great buy!.......2001-05-12

The songs on this album are all polished gems, and a good selection of the "best". This is perhaps the most cleanly listenable and universally appealing collection of their songs, and I have found even my non-celtic-music-listening friends enjoy these songs and feel the attraction of these great musicians and style of music on the very first listen. This is really a collection of some of their best-known (and here, best-sung) tunes. It is shorter than many of their other albums, but for the much smaller price, and for these fantastic songs, you can't go wrong.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful!.......1999-09-07

The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem are the Best! Elvis is eating their dust(in fact I should not even class them with Elvis)! I am listening to them as I write!

Buckwheat's catchy cajun riffs and sharp lyrics will definetly get your mojo working. A solid album from front to back with some cool/funky instrumentals thrown in the mix. The one and only zydeco album that I ever wanted to steal from my old roommate.

5 out of 5 stars Roger Whittaker / RCA Victor releases.......2007-02-24

There seems to be some discord in the commentary regarding not only this disc but others available now as to whether or not certain versions of certain songs, particularly "The Last Farewell" are the original recordings or not.

It appears as if the original circa 1971 release of "The Last Farewell" was on EMI Records, outside of the United States. Listeners here in the US were in all probability first exposed to the circa 1975 release on RCA Victor; I have recently purchased this CD and played it for my brother, and we are both entirely positive that this CD's version is identical with that heard on 'easy listening' stations in the US in the mid-late 1970's. I cannot prove whether or not the RCA and EMI releases were actually different recordings, or if the RCA release was the original re-licensed and remastered since the EMI version is unavailable. But rest assured, if you heard this song on the radio at that time or else recall the television advertised Roger Whittaker album (released by Tee Vee Records, but actually pressed on RCA Victor discs and labeled as such) then this CD under review here will not disappoint. (More on changes in later versions of this song in a moment.)

Having said that, the other popular Roger Whittaker songs on this CD will be familiar to many -- but the song "Dirty Old Town" is a surprise to this listener. It has a lovely melody, incredible vocal by Whittaker and very rich (and seemingly typical RCA) instrumental backing. The result is haunting. That song, which I'd never heard prior to having purchased this CD would be worth the price alone; I like it better than either the title track of the album or "The Last Farewell."

I own many hundreds of songs (largely by Artie Shaw) on both LP and CD and there is indeed some fidelity loss on many CD versions. Regarding this Roger Whittaker CD, though, I find the loss between the original high fidelity analog quality and present CD quality FAR less than the average. Perhaps we need an old vacuum-tube console stereo to help duplicate the original experiences - but as disc or tape to CD re-releases go, I would rate "New World in the Morning: The Encore Collection" as very good quality.

Finally, as Roger Whittaker went along, not only did he perform "The Last Farewell" many thousands of times, but his voice changed with age as well. Thus, we have, in later recordings not only changes in the actual sound of his voice, but also changes in the notes he chose to hit and in cadence (and tempo, later versions tending to get slightly faster). If one strings together a large number of performances of just this song chronologically the changes are obvious; the version of "The Last Farewell" on THIS CD is my personal favorite. Should anyone wish a primer on Roger Whittaker, this CD is it - although in point of fact it does contain at least one much later (live) recording, so that listeners can get an idea of just how different he sounds older and live.

Oh -- one more note. Cover photos can be misleading. When Roger Whittaker recorded "New World in the Morning," "Durham Town," "The Last Farewell" and "Dirty Old Town" AS HEARD ON THIS CD his hair and beard were still all black. The cover photo shows a later Roger Whittaker, since it's a much later compilation!

1 out of 5 stars Poor Quality.......2005-09-02

I have several LPs and cassette tapes of Roger Whittaker. The recordings on this CD do NOT have the fullness or richness of Whittaker's voice. Anyone thinking these recordings sound great would be shocked at how bad this CD is if they heard earlier (perhaps non BMG) recordings. Also, the cadence of several of the recordings doesn't match the earlier recordings (and the changes are for the worse). I must wonder if the recordings on this CD were mastered from MP3 (or AAC Apple) downloads and then run through an audio enhancement program in an attempt to compensate for all the information (i.e., quality) lost when using these (and all other) compression codecs (Note: normal/commercial quality CDs use AIFF encoding and this encoding loses far less information/quality) . Also, whatever happened to the AAD, ADD, and DDD markings on CD?
If you want to hear the real Roger Whittaker (and he is great) this CD doesn't come close.

3 out of 5 stars Good if you like this kind of stuff.......2002-04-23

I have tell the story of how Roger Whittaker reminds me of Bozo. Trust me, it connects with this album. For years, I lived in the Chicago area, which is the home of superstation WGN. For years the show I watched on WGN the most was Bozo. And for years, the WGN theme song seemed to be this short horn piece that somehow reminded me of waves crashing and something important coming.

Imagine my surprise when I listened to this album and found that this horn piece is the opening to what seems to be the signature piece of Roger Whittaker, "The Last Farewell". When I heard it the first time, I asked my wife if Bozo was going to be on next.

That aside, this is a collection of songs, mostly written by other people, featuring a guy with a very soothing voice. Most of the songs are pleasant. Some of the arrangements sound like they were done in somebody's bedroom studio (in their simplicity), but with this kind of stuff, it doesn't need to be overproduced.

If you need a good chick album to get your lady in the mood after you've just given her a new puppy dog, this is the one for you. Trust me from experience, it works.

4 out of 5 stars So you're driving in your car away from home..........2001-04-26

So you're driving in your car away from home and punching around the radio dial and you hear someone singing who is different and you like his voice and then the radio tells you that was Roger Whittaker and you decide to buy one of his CD's and find out if you really do like his voice...

Buy this one.

5 out of 5 stars Live life to the fullest and be happy.......2001-02-09

The present is all we have. We are given the grace, the strength and one another to help us make it through the day. Therefore, live your life to the fullest each day (New World in the Morning). The Last Farewell reminds to enjoy life, to appreciate the little things, and never be afraid or ashamed to express true sentiments.

5 out of 5 stars From the Depths of Suffering, Emerges Joy.......2007-02-07

The great thing about Mahalia Jackson, is that you don't have to be a fan of gospel music to enjoy her work. Like a great Opera, or an abstract work of art, she is something to be appreciated on many levels...a pure, powerful voice...one of the greatest voices ever to be recorded.

"The World's Greatest Gospel Singer" is Mahalia Jackson as she was meant to be. This collection, with all songs performed with the Falls-Jones Ensemble, is the kind of bluesy, jazz-inspired and painfully heartfelt gospel music that made Mahalia one of a kind. This is her voice and talent in its purest form, before it was bought and sold to mainstream audiences in the late 1950's. Some of the recording quality isn't quite up to snuff, but it adds to the "rediscovered" feel of this unique style of gospel music, and her voice comes loud and clear no matter what.

Hightlights include:
Track 1: "I'm Going to Live the Life I Sing about in my Song"-a bold and powerful stance against hypocrisy.
Track 3: "Jesus Met the Woman at the Well"-a great old-timey tune.
Track 5: "I Will Move on Up a Little Higher"-a bluesier version of her most famous song.
Track 6: "When the Saints Go Marching In"-a great version of an old song that had even this non-Christian tapping my feet and wanting to dance.
Track 11: "Didn't it Rain"-a definative display of her voice.

5 out of 5 stars An early MJ album: 1 of 2 top recommends in her discography.......2004-08-16

In this recording, you get mono sound only, but who cares? It displays the absolutely sizzling talents of a jazz-inflected gospel backup band, including the redoubtable pianist Mildred Falls whose genius is more or less inseparable from Mahaliah Jackson's genius.

No doubt about it, these players cook bacon while they juggle musical chairs. If the hair stands up on the back of your neck all the way through this CD, then good for you. It just means you are getting it. Of course, center of the holy musical storm is Mahaliah Jackson herself.

With her incredibly physical, mezzosoprano-range voice, she can do whatever she wants. She can trumpet, lift, pray, whisper, or shout with the best of them. She is living the life she sings about in her song, and she is singing the life she lives. Many of these versions of these songs have never been better sung, or captured in gospel recording history.

Listen to what she and the group do on a song called, "Didn't it rain". And when the woman Jesus met at the well goes running into town to talk about her encounter, the music embodies the rush of her inner necessity. This music got feet.

When MJ moves on up a little higher, you simply must trust her to carry you with her. At least let your sad eyes follow her upwards. This song is one of the two that she early recorded as an unknown African American Baptist church singer. It was backed on a two-sided 78 disc with the other big MJ signature song, How I Got Over. I have heard MJ attributed as the author of both songs, but I cannot say that for sure. Whoever wrote either one of them, it is safe to say that MJ made each her own in the most unique and powerful way. In its first release, that 78 rpm disc must have been bought by just about every African American Baptist in the USA, because she sold 3 million copies. All of a sudden, the music/money people were sniffing down highways and byways to find out who this amazing singer was. It is so characteristic that they had never hear of her. The USA was even more segregated in those years than it can be today. Indeed, one of the key concerns of the big label Columbia, once it signed its contract with MJ was: how can we set her peformances, so that they don't sound too black, so that they cross over successfully to white america?

This early album, however, will have none of that nonsense. The group (including Mildred Falls)is probably the most brilliant backup that MJ ever had on a recording. The only other recording that offers us the pure, unadulterated musical Mahaliah Jackson in her live in Europe concert CD, also (probably temporarily) available on CD. There, she and Mildred Falls are like super-heroines in a Marvel comic, with all sorts of musical magic up their sleeves.

If you have both of these, you have Mahaliah Jackson. This recording is like a drink of cool well water in the back country on a very hot, humid day. You never knew how good pure water could be. In fact, pour me another glass. I am sitting in the shade for a while, feeling the breezes, and listening to the witness this lady sings about what God is doing in her life.

Unlike many forms of religion, MJ believes the kingdom is wide open. Hers is a generous spirit, and so a generous religion. She is not worried about keeping the heavenly treasures under lock and key, lest they be unfairly distributed to beggars or publicans who have not proved their worth in terms of human empires. She sings for anybody who will bother to listen. Like a prophet, she speaks her truth to power. She makes me wonder what life would be like, if we were all speaking more truth, more often, to power.

In any case, get this CD for the music. Its five stars shape some mysterious constellation that is rare and shining as the firmament circles above our heads.

The other must-have MJ recommendation is: MJ Live In Europe concert. It is newly (and probably temporarily) available. Get both. Now. You can learn many of life's lessons from MJ on these two CD's, and have a whale of a good time listening as you learn. Maybe other singers have, in their own ways, reached so high. But nobody has surpassed MJ. She is the real deal. I think I get just a tad more real, when I listen to her. If the destination is the journey, then MJ offers us the best kind of traveling music. Highly recommended. Get it before it's gone again.

5 out of 5 stars One of the finest vocal performances ever recorded.......1999-07-12

This magnificant work of art, produced by Geroge Avakian in the mid 1950's, contains one of the finest vocal performances ever committed to record, irrespective of musical genre. Accompanied brilliantly by the jazz/blues influenced Fall-Jones Ensemble, Jackson delivers a remarkable reading of African-American spirituals, including some of her own compositions. A recording for the ages, delivered superlatively by one of the greatest voices of the 20th century. In short, a masterpiece.
