This bargain introduction to nouveaux Westerners Ranger Doug, Woody Paul, and Too Slim features the kind of songs any singing cowboy worth his salt knows by heart. If there are few surprises, there's more than enough engaging musicianship and singing, highlighted by Ranger Doug's mellow croon and skillful yodeling. The arrangements are spare and exact, emphasizing guitar, bass, and some fiddle, but the real attraction is the trio's harmonies. If Riders in the Sky never quite live up to their heroes like Sons of the Pioneers and Riders of the Purple Sage, the playful affection they bring to these tunes is never less than charming. --Roy Kasten

4 out of 5 stars Cosmic cowboys riding high.......2006-03-12

So I've been getting into Ryan Adams lately. It doesn't take long to find out that Adams stands in the great shadow of Gram Parsons, who in his day paved the way for people like the New Riders.

The New Riders, for their part, consisted of Grateful Dead alumni (read: Jerry Garcia) and Dead proteges. The New Riders toured fairly extensively with the Dead as their opening band.

This album recalls nothing so much as the Dead's "American Beauty". There's a couple of duds, but when they let loose on the wah wah pedals while riffing on country music, the going gets weird, and the weird get going....or something like that.

If you're into Lucinda, Ryan Adams, Wilco, or any of the so called alt country bands, you need to get back to the source. Start right here.

5 out of 5 stars Garden of Eden.......2006-01-11

For all you Deadheads - this is country Dead ! But it is much more. This was a great live Band (without Garcia) and many songs on this album were the keys to their live performance. And none of the reviews mentioned Garden of Eden which to me is an outstanidn song, particularly if you have heard or have a live version. If I were going to buy only one NRPS "album" , this would be it.

4 out of 5 stars A forgotten gem of country rock.......2005-06-08

In the early 1970's, a talented group called the New Riders of the Purple Sage was making waves as a popular touring act. They were born of the Grateful Dead - Jerry Garcia was a founding member, and the two bands toured together before the NRPS finally struck out on their own. Today, some of the band's live performances are being released on CD, so they are enjoying something of a comeback. This is the only studio album that includes Jerry Garcia, whose bold, unconventional playing of the pedal steel guitar dominates most tracks. Also included are three live bonus tracks. It's hard to place this album in any one genre - it is a bit country, a bit rock, and a bit bluegrass. Rock fans shouldn't shy away from trying this album because of its country stylings - if you are a fan of the Grateful Dead,the Allmans, the Band, or any of the other great Folk/Country/Rock bands of the 60's and 70's, you might find that this album is a delightful and addictive treat.

4 out of 5 stars It is rather damn good........2004-06-06

Essentially this album is in my opinion one of the pinnacles of country rock ( a genre of music that is today played only by bands that are on CMT). Although this is not the Best NRPS release this is still music that is far above average. The obvious highlights of the album include the famous Glendale Train, Henry, and Portland Woman. Henry is a humurous little song about drugs, and a guy going down to Mexico. Portland Woman and Glendale Train are both a bit more somber songs but their greatness is by no means diminshed.
Overall this album is a very strong release however the reason that I took off a star is because it was completely uneeded to remaster the recording that was already very good in the first place though it sounds a bit bad on my record player as it is scratched. The extra tracks are however a nice little touch.

4 out of 5 stars Country Rock Ride.......2004-03-16

New Riders Of The Purple Sage's debut album is one of the best country-rock albums of the early 70's. The band was made up of John "Marmaduke" Dawson, Dave Tolbert & David Nelson, but was augmented by Jerry Garcia on steel guitar, Mickey Hart on percussion and Spencer Dryden on drums. The band stared out as a project for the Grateful Dead's Mr. Garcia, Mr. Hart & Phil Lesh to fully indulge themselves with the country sounds that they had touched upon in their music. The music veers from straightforward country-rock of "Henry", "Portland Woman" & "I Don't Know You" to "Dirty Business" which is an eight-minute track that leans towards a weird mix of acid rock & country. The album's highlight is "All I Ever Wanted" which contains the most beautiful and delicate steel guitar work from Mr. Garcia. New Riders Of The Purple Sage is a must for any fans of the Grateful Dead, but should be equally enjoyed by fans of the Flying Burrito Brothers, The Byrds or CSN&Y.

4 out of 5 stars This album is a must for your collection, "Panama Red" alone is worth the price of addmission!.......2006-10-15

The Dead, Skynard, Allman Bros. & Eagles mixed into a bowl and fired up! I bought this album solely for "Panama Red" but the entire album turned out to be very enjoyable. The sound of the album is unique but also reminiscent of other bands that were popular at the time of it's release (1973). Mostly, the lyrics are funny but occasionally become introspective. The "drug culture" and language that is present in the songs take you back to a seeminly simpler time, this one is definitely worth buying.

4 out of 5 stars Cool Country Rock.......2006-03-18

I first bought this album in 1975. Its amazing how after 30 yrs the songs still sound as good as they did way back then. Very good collection of tunes. Half the cd is country and the other half is rock. Total track time is around 30 minutes. Very good music.

5 out of 5 stars Trust me, this rocks........2006-03-16

I see there are already plenty of reviews of Panama Red already, so I really have no excuse for writing my own. All the same...

Firstly, I think people who don't like this album are probably thinking of NRPS as the dead's little sister, which frankly it is not. It has very little to do with the dead. It's psycadelic cowboy rock.
It is also totally fantastic. There is not a song on the album that I don't like.
Here's a mini review of the songs-

"Panama Red"- Totally a classic. First time I heard it I was singing along by the end.
"It's All Right With Me"- Oo-Oo- yeeeaaah, to qoute it.
"Lonesome LA Cowboy"- The lines about smokin' dope, snortin' coke are great. Heck, the whole song is.
"(Ok Sam)Important exportin' man"- Very catchy. Greatest saxaphone.
"One Too Many Stories"- Oh, woe. The only one I couldn't call my favorite. But it's still fine.
"Kick in the head"- Absolutely my favorite. The lyrics are bizarre and typicle Robert Hunter. (Funny the dead never preformed it)
"You Should Have Seen Me Runnin"- Lord. Buffy Sainte-Marie is the greatest back up ever. I don't know why there isn't more of her and less of Donna Jean. (???)
"Teardrops in My Eyes"- I can't help dancing when this plays. Happiest sad song ever.
"L.A Lady"-Really well done. Good singing, good music, good lyrics. What more could you ask for?
"Thank the Day"- Typical Torbert (It's about sailing). The lyrics "I couldn't keep from smiling" must apply to the listener.
"Cement, Clay and Glass"- Wait a sec. THIS is my favorite. Great anti urban sprawl song.
I have only one beef, and trust me it's not the song's fault. I guess when they put it onto cd they changed it a little, because at the end when he (David Nelson, I think. Don't qoute me) is singing "Cement, Clay and Glass" over and over you can hear Donna Jean Godchaux singing signifigantly louder than the he is. This isn't a problem on the record (I know because I have it), just the Cd.

Thats it for the songs, but I think I should mention one other thing thats unfortunate: the packaging for the Cd is not nearly as exciting as it was for the record. The fantastic Panama Red cartoon is rather squashed. Aslo, the sleave that had the lyrics and the picture of NRPS with the grungy dog is not reproduced anywhere.
Thats really all, and, frankly, I can deal with the two small drawbacks because the CD means I can listen to it in the car, lend it to my friends, whatever.

It's pretty hard to dislike the New Riders, so you should definatley give this Cd a try.

5 out of 5 stars Hippie Culture USA.......2005-10-24

First..Woody Guthrie, then Easy Rider, then the Byrd's Sweetheart Of The Rodeo then The New Riders...this rock and roll country and western offshoot of the Dead came into their commercial heyday with these bright unashamed batch of songs.
Their self titled debuet is the most Dead like, their 2nd Powerglide pushed them into speedier funkier grooves while Gypsy Cowboy defined them in a more roots folk setting.
Panama Red became their anthem as the Merry Pranksters of rock culture.
Of course the themes of many of the songs are somewhat comical these days but eventhough the CD is a short one the songs and tunes are alive and still sound fresh.The ballads have beautiful melody,the rockers rock like Commander Cody and the production was top-notch for it's day with bright loud lovely sound.
Their ist release with Garcia and company is a classic..this is the one to forget your troubles with.

3 out of 5 stars What was once entertaining..........2005-07-19

I listened to a lot of this type of stuff in high school. I think it's an okay album but one grows tired of the many cheesy drug references. The two songs on the album that I think have stood the test are the ones that have little flash compared to the signature numbers on the album. "Teardrops in my Eye" is a cover an old Red Allen country number. It works fine on this album. "Cement, clay and glass" a song about urban sprawl was appropos in the 70s and is so now.

I tip my hat to Jerry for prodding his pals to do some country. I'm glad this album was made and I listened to it a lot in the 70s. I'll likely enjoy an occasional track should I ever hear them somewhere but only some of the album has stood the test of time.

This is one of their most bio friendly cds. They are the soapmakers.

5 out of 5 stars and each one was all.......2006-02-15

Soapmakers and crackerjack are highlights in the "my favorite songs of all time." They have a style that is indeed groovy and given the older footage on this enhanced disc has evolved. Beware! The lyrics are powerful voodoo.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing Album.......2005-09-10

I don't understand the popular sentiment among Clutch fans that this album isn't up to par with the rest of their material. This is one of, if not their very best, album to date. For my money, Blast Tyrant is still their absolute best and one of the top rock albums ever made, but Elephant Riders is very close. Every song is outstanding and Clutch take some gambles here that really pay off. It is remarkable to see the transitions made in their first three releases, and the improvements they made to their sound in each. Elephant Riders, in my opinion, was the first Clutch album with cohesive song writing and really technical playing. With the Soapmakers, you have one of the greatest Clutch songs ever, featuring a totally different country rock feel, with a new style from Neil, and some outstanding riffs and lyrics. The brass accompaniment on the instrumental Crackerjack is really outstanding, while Clutch returns to some full on heavy metal with Dragonfly - hearkening back to their Transatlantic Speedway days but totally exceeding anything on that record.

I just don't understand why this album isn't seen as one of the greatest in Clutch's catalog because for my money it certainly deserves to be recognized as such.

2 out of 5 stars Their ONLY bump in the road.......2005-06-04

I've been a very very big Clutch fan since picking up Speedway League on a whimb after seeing Shogun on Headbangers Ball in the early 90's. For me, this is the only Clutch album that is a letdown. I seem to be in the minority thinking this isn't a very good album, but it just isn't near as infectious as every other release they've put out thus far. I find the first 4 songs to be the only ones worth listening to time and again. I never would've guessed Clutch would've become what they have after seeing Shogun on the Ball years ago, but i'm glad they did. If you're just getting into Clutch, my advice is to get this release after getting all of their others first. My personal favorites are the self-titled and Speedway League, but you can't go wrong with Blast Tyrant or Pure Rock Fury either.

4 out of 5 stars Clutch rules!.......2005-05-29

I am a clutch fan from the beginning and I must say when I first heard this album I was thuroughly disappointed. I had come to expect so much from them because of their first 2 records, in my eyes this one just didn't measure up. I liked the first 4 songs and that was about it. I didn't listen to this album for about 3 years and then I decided to givfe it another chance. The more I listened to it, the more I liked it. It is still not one of my favorite Clutch records, but it definetly is a very good album. Also it has one of the best Clutch songs ever written on it "The Soapmakers". Other standouts are; the title track and "Eight Times Over Miss October"

4 out of 5 stars Classic hippie-stoner country from the early 1970s.......2006-08-28

This is a long overdue reissue of a best-of set that gathers the best tracks from this hippiebilly band from Northern California. The New Riders were originally a side project of Jerry Garcia and some chums from the Grateful Dead, but as their attention turned elsewhere, the band took on a life of its own. They specialized in drug-oriented novelty songs ("Henry", "Panama Red") and shambling boogie-rock covers of rock and R&B oldies. It still holds up pretty well, especially if you're interested in the roots of the modern alt-country scene.

(Note: This edition (2006) adds five bonus live tracks, expanding the set from its original 1976 vinyl release and the previous, 1990 CD reissue.) (DJ Joe Sixpack)

I love soundtracks & some are hard to find. This one was pretty obscure, but Amazon found it & I love it. Ry Cooder's music is great , very like Bluegrass but it fits the movie. I'd watch the movie just to hear the music. Thanks a lot.

5 out of 5 stars Long-time Long Riders fan.......2007-03-19

I don't know of any better music from a Western than this set of pieces from The Long Riders. With the exception of the rather tedious "My Old Grandfather Said" piece, the music is just excellent. The voices, the themes, the rendition are all you could ask.

5 out of 5 stars Great Sounds From Cooder.......2007-03-08

I saw the movie as a teenager, but I remember thinking that I needed to get the soundtrack on tape (cassette) and Ry Cooder's name in the end title credits stuck in my mind.

I kept looking for the tape...even when Crossroads came out, I bought that but continued asking around for the soundtrack to Long Riders. In the meantime, I discovered Paris Texas, Jazz, Geronimo, Music by Ry Cooder and A Meeting by the River...and, of course, Buena Vista Social Club.

I finally found the soundtrack to Long Riders on CD on a business trip to Finland after 15 years...the CD didn't play on my player when I got home, so I had to wait for a another trip to Finland, a month later.
The guy at the store first made an issue that I was over a month late and without the original receipt...when he realised I only wanted to listen to the music and wasn't claiming a refund, he somehow managed to dig out another copy for me.

This is a important part of my collection on Ry Cooder's incredible work.

5 out of 5 stars Long Riders.......2007-01-18

I am writing the review for my brother as he requested the DVD. He now watches it as often as he likes. This is one of his favorite movies. My brother is 66 years of age. I also bought him the soundtrack and he loves it. He rates it a 5 also.

3 out of 5 stars Neither Circus nor Spectacular, but it is Karl King........2006-10-15

Having played a number of times under Karl King, I had great expectations for this CD. Alas, it was not to be. The music is there, the musicians play all the right notes and the conductor keeps time. The recording is only mediocre, of Laserlight quality, and the performance is not what I expected from what they call a "Circus Band." Indeed, the liner notes state that the band is mostly students and professionals from the Philadelphia area. In other words, a "pick up" band. And the conductor seems to have no circus experience only small town symphony experience (from the puffery in the liner notes). From listening, it would appear that he has never even heard a real circus band. Both conductor and band would not last a day at a real circus. I do have a suspicion, however, that the musicians would do better under a better conductor.

Now, if they called themselves a concert band, that would be accurate and fair, and would not have dashed my hopes, as they are OK as a concert band. But just OK.

Of course, a concert band can indeed generate all the excitement of a bona fide circus band, as Frederick Fennell so aptly demonstrated on his Mercury recordings.

Now, if you want real circus music played by a real circus band, get a Merle Evans recording.

However, having said all that, I will keep the album, as I have always been a Karl King fan, and it is fine music decently played by an OK concert band.

5 out of 5 stars Great circus music.......2005-08-12

I needed some circus music to promote a fundraiser our Lion's club was having (a circus). I got the CD on time and it sounded great. I could not find this type of music anywhere else. Thanks.

3 out of 5 stars Good music, mediocre playing.......2001-11-19

It was indeed exciting to find so many of Karl King's marches on one disc. The band's playing, however leaves a lot to be desired, as does the sound quality of the disc. The balance is poor, with a very annoying tenor sax playing loud and out-of-tune on every cut. Buy this if you are a march collector (which I am), but I do not recommend it for its entertainment value. Get the "Screamers" disc by Fennell and Eastman for a far superior set of circus marches with great playing and sound.

4 out of 5 stars Review of Circus Spectacular.......2000-12-07

Certainly the best thing about this CD is that there are many of Karl King's marches that have probably never been recorded previously, which is curious, since some of them rank with his best. The curious thing about this CD, on the other hand, is that it is supposedly a circus album, but only a few marches were actually written for the "big top". This band is not the best I have heard - recommend listening with headphones, to get a much clearer, less muddled sound. King was only kind of a contemporary of Sousa, having lived 35-40 years later. He actually published more marches than Sousa, and generally wrote in a style that was "softer" than the March King. Sousa wrote mostly military-style marches (better than anyone else ever has, of course), whereas King wrote many military as well as circus marches, and marches in a simpler style, suitable for school bands.

5 out of 5 stars Circus Spectacular.......2000-08-12

This recording of music by Karl King is absolutely splendid -it contains 28 tracks most of which I have certainly not heard before - I particularly liked the tempos of the marches - not too quick but just right - the band is good (although I had never heard of them) - I came across this recording by chance and I'm glad I did - highly recommended

This is the Sousa record for people who are serious about marches. Sousa was the greatest march composer in the history of, well, marching, and this disc includes many fresh and interesting pieces that will likely be unfamiliar, as well as a couple of favorites (including "The Liberty Bell," famous as the theme to Monty Python's Flying Circus). But by and large, this disc focuses on the less well known pieces, though there's not a dud in the lot. Sousa had a special gift for orchestration and for writing tunes with real rhythmic interest; his marches never sound dull. Frederick Fennell is the simply the best wind band conductor around, and these performances are standard- setters. --David Hurwitz

4 out of 5 stars Fennell Brings Out the Best in Sousa 's Marches.......2004-02-21

This is an outstanding CD. The sound quality is very good. The instrumental balance is very good. It's interesting to compare the rather subtle difference in the percussion section performance between the two recording dates, particulalarly the cymbalist.
Sousa had an uncanny ability to score the cymbal strike at places which add significantly to the listening experience.
Hats off to Sousa, Fennell,and the Eastman Wind Ensemble

4 out of 5 stars A solid Sousa album that comes up a bit short.......2003-01-26

In the 60s, Fennell and the Eastman Wind ensemble recorded a good amount of marches by Sousa, many released on this album, and the rest (as far as I know) on the album Hands Across the Sea. As many of Sousa's best marches are on that later album, this one falls a bit short of greatness -- but not my much.

Sousa knew his marches, writting something like 200 of them, and almost every one of these is a great example of how to write a good march. Indeed, The Liberty Bell and Manhatten Beach are two of my alltime favorite marches. However, being prolific often means that there will be misses, and many here, while written well, just aren't all that memorable. I'd be hard pressed to be able to identify such pieces as The Gallant Seventh, New Mexico, or the Black Horse Troop unless I had just listened to them.

Still, one has to admire the creative way Sousa sometimes put his music together. The Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company uses the song 'Aude Lang Syne' for its trio, and it fits so well that it's hard to believe he didn't write it himself. The Liberty Bell uses tubular bells in *just* the right spots that it makes an impact every time one listens. And Sabre And Spurs uses wook blocks to simulate horses, which also works great.

So overall, this is a solid album that has its ups and downs. The sound quality is great, haveing a certain amount of 'bite' that's almost impossible with digital recordings, the playing impecable, and there's plenty of variety.

5 out of 5 stars The Mastery of Fennell.......2002-01-28

I've owned this CD for several years, and bought a copy recently as a Christmas gift. Frederick Fennell is a modern master of band and marches, and I own several of his recordings. What makes this CD a standout for me is the Mercury Living Presence recording and remastering method. I own over two dozen of this series because Living Presence does indeed represent a different method of producing music for the recorded media. It DOES sound more lifelike to me than conventional multimike recordings. To anyone considering purchase of this CD I'd recommend also ordering 'Screamers', the Living Presence CD of circus marches. To me this is feel-good music at its best, and terrific for listing in the car! Additionally, the Living Presence series stands out for its excellent liner notes with explanations of the Living Presence method. This CD is a keeper. Incidentally, the recipient of this CD has since gone out and bought several other Living Presence CD's after hearing this!s

5 out of 5 stars MASTERFUL RENDITIONS IN GLORIOUS RECORDED SOUND.......2001-11-16

An utterly masterful set, containing many of Sousa's unjustly neglected works. (An integral recording of his complete marches is overdue by a good half-century.*) Fennell conducts with incredible verve, and the Eastman Wind Ensemble responds in kind, with immaculately tight and polished performances. The recording is demonstration-class. Sousa has never sounded better, and probably never will.

*EDIT: Actually, a nearly-complete recording of the marches has been available, as of the time of this review, for at least a good quarter-century--first on LP, now on CD: that being, a series of analog recordings by The Detroit Concert Band, led by Leonard B. Smith. Currently available from Walking Frog Records (on five CDs), the DCB/Smith collection unfortunately suffers from some serious problems--not the least of which is the highly variable and substandard quality of the recorded sound.

5 out of 5 stars A Classic well preserved.......2001-09-28

This one's a Classic and the sound is remarkable considering
when it was recorded. Viva Mercury Records!

I do wish more of the familiar Sousa stuff was included.

5 out of 5 stars A Great Collection Of Feel Good LA Country Music.......2004-02-26

A great follow-up to their self-titled debut, Powerglide is pure dayglow cowboy. LA Country, 3-AM Sunset Blvd, feel good rock n' roll. There's lots to like in this 11 catchy song collection. Unfortunately the NRPS were to put out one last great album after this one, that one being Panama Red. Later incarnations of the band seemed listless and uninspired.

5 out of 5 stars missing track.......2004-01-25

this has always been one of my favorites since i bought it back in the ol' LP days. NRPS' particularly haunting version of "Long Black Veil" very sadly is absent from the CD. Dave Matthews and Johnny Cash ran off with it, i guess.

4 out of 5 stars Just to say.......2003-03-10

I'm not really a fan of country music, although somehow I had heard of NROTPS. The one track that really stands out from the rest is "rainbow" - all the rest seem fairly average. Does anyone else see this?

5 out of 5 stars Tight, Solid, Talented.......2002-06-03

If I were the Original Riders of the Purple Sage I would have been proud of the New Riders carrying on the tradition. These guys were damned good, but so underrated. Powerglide is one of their best (Panama Red is my sentimental favorite)and I was surprised that after feeling that it didn't get any better than Panama Red, Powerglide had me and my whole college crew agreeing it was just as solid a set of tunes with tight performances to boot.
My kids don't know what to make of these guys. They know I do not particularly like mainstream country music, but are not surprised that I like stuff by the NRPS. These are universal good time party tunes. NRPS playing always signals a good musical trip by a bunch of guys actually more talented than some of their better known peers in their heyday.

5 out of 5 stars So pleased this has been released on CD.......2000-05-01

Such a great album album! New Riders in their prime! Incredible song writing, lead and harmony vocals. John "Marmaduke" Dawson, David Nelson, and the late, great Dave Torbert, Buddy Cage on steel, and Spencer Dryden on drums, with some special guest appearances. Some of their best work is here on this album.

I hope some day Columbia will also release Home, Home on the Road (live), Gypsy Cowboy, and Brujo.

Long associated with the Dead, these guys are so good in their own right. The musical style that is so much their own, far superior to the watered down "country-rock" that became "popular" in the 70's.

"Mescalito drenched hippie-cowboy soul" may be one way to define their "sound".

This is "goose bump" music folks, right there with Rick Nelson's "Garden Party", the Burrito's "Gilded Palace of Sin", or Gram Parson's "GP/Greivous Angel".

A must for any lover of good music with a cosmic country-fied tinge.

Love him or hate him, Nigel Kennedy can play a mean fiddle. And on Riders on the Storm: The Doors Concerto, the violinist, arranger Jaz Coleman, and the Prague Symphony Orchestra pay energetic tribute to--who else?--the Doors. These instrumental string arrangements try their damnedest to avoid becoming elevator-music covers, but they only vaguely resemble the Doors' originals. The violinist loves a jam, and these arrangements thankfully give him plenty of room to solo. The longer tracks--"Light My Fire" and "The End"--work best, with Kennedy offering inspired playing and plenty of drama. Doors fans may be interested in hearing fresh takes on their favorite tunes ("Riders on the Storm," "Light My Fire," "The Unknown Soldier," and more), but those accustomed to Kennedy's more classical endeavors may be disappointed. Oddly enough, the living members of the Doors have nothing but great things to say about this disc. Strange days, indeed. --Jason Verlinde

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars "Concerto" says everything.......2006-12-19

This is a very well executed adaptation of Doors music into classic. I also own the fantastic George Winston's "Night Divides the Day", and I could say both CDs, even though different in it's category, perform a fantastic tribute to The Doors. But this is not a CD for "The Doors" fans, as it is more directed to Classical lovers. You will find very interesting versions of: Spanish Caravan & The Crystal Ship

5 out of 5 stars The Vietnam Concerto.......2006-11-05

I really love this album. To me, it evokes all the tragedy and sadness of the Vietnam war. Every time I listen to it, I feel very moved. Kennedy is an inspired violinist, and his instrument fairly weeps at times. So, if you are a baby-boomer like me, you may really respond to music that captures the times in which the Doors wrote and sang.

4 out of 5 stars Interesting music - haunting and beautiful.......2006-01-07

As a music guy, I can listen to classical and then go to rap and appreciate both.

As I really like the Doors, I saw this CD and recognizing what Jaz Coleman did with Led Zeppelin, I bought this CD.

It is not much like the LeZeppelin effort. However, both are equally beautiful. The LZ disc sounded like a movie soundtrack. Here the music sounds like a sad concerto.

Truly, I was struck by the sadness in the music. It is powerful though, and the arrangements strike the right chord (terrible pun - sorry) between being exactly similar to the Doors music, and a fresh interpretation.

Should you buy this disc? Well, if you enjoy classical music and you are not a snob - then yes. This disc may get you to enjoy some contemporary music in a vital interpretation. If you are a Doors fan, I would think you would enjoy hearing your favorite songs being played in a new way.

Overall, I believe this is an interesting disc to own. Well worth it. It is and does stand within my classical collection. It ain't Horowitz, but it sure is sweet!!

1 out of 5 stars Sorry..........2005-09-08

Sorry this review is short, but this album was terrible. The members have talent, but the songs bare no resemblance to Doors songs what-so-ever. I have found this at every library in the city of Kootenai County in Idaho, so you should try your local library. Really bad CD. For more details, e-mail me at moviefreak144@hotmail.com

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful, Smart.......2005-08-22

If any rock group deserved to be recorded in classical arrangements it would be The Doors. This could have been thrown together haphazardly to make a quick buck like some classical rock recordings but thankfully it hasn't. A lot of work was put into this. The Doors were much more musical and clever than many rocks bands. Jim Morrison was an extremely dynamic and sensitive vocalist and Nigel Kennedy pays complete homage to him. There is nothing but utter respect for The Doors music here. They chose some of the best musical Doors songs but I wish they would have included The Crystal Ship with maybe a soft piano solo. I think "Crystal Ship" was Ray Manzarek's most creative work. These are very, very deep orchestrations and the feelings of the original songs are preserved throughout (although I had trouble with "Unknown Soldier" and "People are Strange"). You will hear new things every time you listen to it. The diversions in each piece are true to the original songs. Jim Morrison's melodies are eerily mimicked on many instruments and you can hear Jim's beauty and wonderful phrasing. "Spanish Caravan" features a very competent classical guitarist and the melody played by an extremely sensitive violinist. My favorite song on this recording "Love Street" (allegedly written for the street which Jim and Pamela Courson lived in Lauryl Canyon) is double the length of the original song, a very, very emotional, very beautiful and haunting composition. If one song could summarize Jim and Pam's relationship and their sad and tragic lives it would be this song. During "Love Street" one can envision Jim and Pam in an eternal embrace. The spirit of "Light my Fire" comes shining through, if not maybe a little too bouncy and campy and not soft enough. The violas play the left-hand organ accompanyment and there is plenty of counterpoint. I didn't quite understand "People are Strange". It is turned into a romantic and galloping song whereas the original song was quite odd and spacey with shifting vocal effects. I had the most trouble with "Unkown Soldier", it's highly romanticized and I didn't recognize it. Likewise, "Strange Days" is drawn out and romanticized with harps, etc. The End is extremely well done, the eastern modality gives you the sense of a caravan on an endless trek through the Sahara desert. The recording mix is perfect: the lead violinist or any of the other soloists are not sharp or favored in the least. I only wish this was a double CD and included other emotional songs like Queen of the Highway, Hyacinth House, Wild Child, Love Her Madly, LA Woman, Blue Sunday, Wishful Sinful, Unhappy Girl, The Soft Parade and definitely Moonlight Drive and The Crystal Ship. Ray Manzarek (and Robby/John) should be very proud of what Nigel Kennedy has done. I think Jim would be proud, too. You do not have to be a classical music lover to enjoy this recording, you will understand most of these songs. This is an absolutely wonderful CD to sit down and relax to. Thank you very much Nigel and Ray, please record more Doors!
