This is a splendid collection of some of Carlo Buti's best songs.The voice is secure, accurate, but most importantly marvelous both in tone and technique. There are several other wonderful CDs of Carlo Buti favorites, and this one ranks high on the list.It is not an exaggeration to say that he never disappoints.One of Italy's finest popular tenors.Enjoy.
Much of Fiamma Fumana's music is founded upon Northern Italian traditional folk music, with many a nod to Scottish folk music as well. FF seasons these traditional sounds and themes with contemporary ideas - for example, waiting around in airports between flights, in "Check In" - and modern sounds - perhaps most notably, Medhin Paolos's electronica, which is laced throughout their albums; but also Lisa Kant's vocals, which sometimes strike a traditional, soulful stance, just as they at other times strike a modern rock pose. It is this amalgam of the traditional and the modern which is FF's defining characteristic.
Keren Ann is one of those gems that are kept out of the spot light mainly because there is only a small audience for the magnificence she brings in her music. She doesn't get plastic surgery and doesnt try to fit into any type of music genre.
To a certain extent, in terms of historical purposes, I feel that almost all the Lomax recordings are essential documents. Having said that, they all attain various degrees of musical success. What I mean is, some you'll want to hear over and over again, and others you'll feel you can do without.
This isn't exactly a review of the Dead Man Walking Soundtrack -- you can find that under one of the other listings for that CD.Rather, it's a Eddie Vedder/PJ-centric review of this particular Legacy Edition version of the CD.The Legacy Edition of the Dead Man Walking Soundtrack is a bit different in that it includes Eddie Vedder's "Dead Man," which was originally left off the original soundtrack (and the movie) because it conflicted with Bruce Springsteen's eponymous tune.Not exactly a reason to go out and buy this CD, since "Dead Man" can already be found on PJ's "Lost Dogs" album.Likewise, while the Vedder duets with undisputed master of Quawali, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, "Face of Love" and "Long Road" are pretty awesome, the complete extended versions are on the Dead Man Walking Score (not soundtrack), along with some other tunes featuring Nusrat, so you should buy that instead.
This is possibly the worst transfer of data into digital format that I have ever heard.I have a 30 year old copy of this album on vinyl that I carefully recorded in MP3 format.The quality of this home recording maintains the fidelity of the original recording infinitely better than this CD.I bought the CD hoping for a better digital format, not worse.I am sending back this opened and played CD to Amazon.com today.Let's see how they respond to a return that is based soley on the fact that it is an incredibly inferior product.One final note.The music of the original recording will make any effort you take to find one of the older vinyls well worth your effort.

The Blue's album ment Zucchero's breakthrough in Italy and certain parts of Europe, it's a nice mixture of rock, soul and a touch of blues. The cd contains many now Zucchero-classics like the original version of Senza una Donna, Con le mani, Pippo, Hey Man and the beautiful Hai Scelto Me. If you like this album you might also want to buy the '95 Spirito DiVino album and the '01 Shake album (featuring a duet with the late John Lee Hooker)!

How many times we italians who leave in the States are disgusted by the the stuff they sell here as "italian music"? Tired of mandolins from Neaples? Bothered by "Oh sole mio" and "Volare"? Do you want something more than the usual pummarola-music, "facciamoci quattro spaghi, sei italiano dunque mafioso, la pizza si mangia con sopra l'ananas" etc... Here you have Guccini at his best, an experienced musician, a novelist and wine drinker in the "Osterie" (bolognese pubs) all the time. Listen to "Venezia", "Bologna", "Bisanzio", "Black-out"... Juicy! Probably his best album.
I heard this recording in a shop on a Friday evening a couple of years ago. I listened for a couple of minutes and I bought it then and there. This is a very unusual Early Music recording.
If I were stranded on a desert island with only 10 CDs, this is definitely one of the CDs that would be with me.Zucchero may not have made it big in the States, but the list of performers who want to do duets with him of HIS music, not theirs, is so dazzling it leaves one speechless.Zucchero is a musician that other musicians listen to, and that speaks volumes.Trying to select a favorite piece on here is almost an impossibility, but I'll give it a try.Diavolo in Me with soul, R&B, and gospel godfather Solomon Burke borders is almost a religious experience.What a Wonderful World, Cosi` Celeste, Balia Morena all get under my skin and stay there.
If you've never heard of Alan Lomax, this CD is a great place to start, with bits and pieces of several collections of his field recordings. It touches down in Spain, Italy, the British Isles, the Carribbean, the deep South, the Appalachians, and a few other places, too. But keep in mind that it is a *sampler* album. Many of the tracks are faded out well before the end of the song in order to fit so much onto one CD. Think of it as a catalog: if you hear something you like, you figure out which of the other CDs it's from and go buy it so you can hear the rest. It's fun to listen to by itself, too.
AMAZING soundtrack. of course, everyone is complaining that Staralfur by Sigur Ros is not included.

With one of the most expressive voices of our age, this extraordinary singer/songwriter has been delighting me for decades. I bought my first Adamo in 1970, because of the face on the cover. I figured anyone with so much sensitivity and beauty in his eyes had to be a great singer, and great he is.
Poor chioce of songs and arrangements...Too "Jazzy"...The albums are trying to be American instead of sticking to the proven Italian sound...Claudio should stick to what he does best and stay with singing inthe Italian Romanza form.

'Songs of the European Workers' Movement' is an excellent collection ofworkers' songs from European Union countries. Each song is individual,being performed by singers and musicians from its country of origin. Thestyles vary from the solo ballad of France's 'Les Temps des Cerises' to thebrass band and choir of Ireland's 'Watchword of Labour'. 'L'Internationale'features in its full French version and in German as 'Die Internationale'.The rendition of all these songs is a delightful contrast to themilitaristic 'workers' songs' characteristic of the former Soviet Bloc.

The sick vice of Italian songwriting is pretentiousness, the hope that by merely mixing together bundles of portentous words and images you will turn out to sound like the love-child of Arthur Rimbaud and Bob Dylan.What sets Francesco Guccini quite aside is that he manages it; that this former high school teacher of Italian literature, who really does know poetry and writing, manages it with apparent effortless, writing the best lyrics I have read in any language, setting it to superb tunes, and singing it with a powerful, distinctively masculine voice.His triumph is the more remarkable in that his politics, as expressed in "La Locomotiva" here, are abominable, and his view of the world somewhat confused."La Locomotiva" is nothing less than a hymn to terrorism; but try and not get swept along by the power of the images, the pace, the passion.Even more majestic is "La canzone dei mesi", in which he gives a lyrical description of the months of the year that shows his grounding in the poetry of his ancestors.What to say?All the songs are magnificent.They survive the test of being sung as he often does - sitting on a chair with an acoustic guitar and a glass of wine, and NO BACK-UP whatever.But there is a special place in my heart for the heart-stopping tale of an old man and a child, "Il Vecchio e il Bambino", and how they communicate or fail to.One of the greatest singers in the world, at the height of his powers.

This is the greatest collection of American music I have ever found.
In Jose's so called "Autumn" of his carreer he has never failed to amaze me. Around The World features several different types of songs that convey Jose's fondness of the world in which we all live. This is evident in songs like "Wind Of Change" featuring a duet with Klaus Meine (from The Scorpions), "Kawa No Nagare No Yoni" from Japan, "Vurria" from Italy, & "Hine E Hine" from New Zealand. You are not going to hear Jose belt out high c's on this one. What you are going to hear is Jose sing, with his golden velvet voice, evergreens of love and passion. In my opinion Jose sounds every bit as fresh and in command with his voice as he did in the late 80's and early 90's. This is a must for all who love Jose and enjoy great singing from the soul.
Nice eclectic collection - Russel Watson presentation of NellaFantasia using guitar interlude instead of traditional oboe is special piece.
Fell in love with this beautiful romantic music. my friend translated some of the songs for me. i was in awe of the beauty of this wonderful collection. Thank you!
Alan Lomax recorded these folk songs during the late 1950's in people's houses and in prisons.Incredible to have recordings of prisoners singing to the beat of their axe strokes as they work.Housework seems lessmundane when doing it with this music on.Wide range of music representedhere, but many of the songs in this volume are concerned with crime,especially murder, and prison life.Two (actually three) great versions ofPo' Lazarus, and an interesting John Henry.I would have given it 5 starsexcept there's 1 track I hate and two others I don't care for.That leaves14 great tracks.

This features some of Martyn Bates best singing and was originally recorded around 1995 and was supposed to be released by Virgin Records in 1996. Due to personell change at Virgin the album was shelved until recently when MMM in Italy brought it out again in 2007. Max Eastley is better known for albums such as Buried Dreams and offers sometimes good improvisational backings to Martyn's songs here. This album is somewhere in between the Chamber Music albums, the Murder Ballads albums with Mick Harris and the 12,000 Days albums with Alan Trench (of Orchis). This album is directly available from the publisher at the regular price or from the musicians via their website eyelessingaza.com/mb.html .

The Land Where Blues Began is Alan Lomax's master ensemble of the music that shaped American music. It is the music that influenced the works of Miles Davis, Tom Waits, Ewan McColl and most recent Norah Jones. Take the tour of the Mississippi Delta of the 1930s and 1940s and listen to the story who gave birth to the Blues with such legends as Muddy Waters, Leadbelly and Fred McDowell.We need more music hunters like Lomax to record our music heritage for future generations. Lomax cross many towns and landscapes to get these first time field recordings of the now Blues greats. Lomax 'cornbread-and-poteen odyssey' across the American heartland is well documented in his candid conversations with the bluesmen and the story of how the blues became daddy of all modern-day music. It's told through those legends and through work songs, hymns, ballads, sermons, stories and smoky bars. The album captures the vivid sounds and the impossible to hold back energy and soul of the Blues fathers that changed American history.NOTE: The CD is chronicled in the book of the same name by Alan Lomax as an addition to adding to your Blues collection. The book also includes a 4 track CD sampler as well. It won the 1993 National Book Critics Award for nonfiction.

Zucchero Fornaciari is a truely amazing rockstar, on this 2001 cd Zucchero teams, yet again, up with some of the biggest names in the world of rock and blues like Roy Rogers (a famous slide guitarist doing a great job on Porca L'Oca), Zachary Alford (who played drums with artists like Bruce Springsteen and David Bowie) and John Lee Hooker!
After hearing and taping a few cuts from this overlooked and little-known album about 5 years ago on NPR, I found this music to be as if someone had gone back in time to the Middle Ages and recorded it. Then recently, I found it on Amazon through sheer serendipity. I can't say that it's "authentic"sounding since no one really knows what medieval music sounded like. But, it sure sounds sweet and gentle. From courtly dances to dreamy psaltery pieces, this CD takes you all the way back to the Crusades, even.
don't buy this album as the first one of Zucchero, take BlueSugar - a great album that will blow you away, incredible songs. This album here is a bit harder to understand, Zucchero is an italina r&b hero - great songwriter. Listen to the music, you will enjoy it!!!
Sacred Harp music is authenicately American.The shaped notes are intended to allow individuals who do not read music to read the Sacred Harp music.It also allows the individual pitching the music to move the musicinto the range of the singers rather than using a true pitch.The melodyis in the tenor line which is sung by both genders.The music has an openharmony - altos may float above sopranos or below tenors for example.Thebeat is strictly kept and there is little variation in volume - this is notyour standard choral music.

I wanted a tape of songs that would help me teach a variety of foreign languages in song to my children.While this is a pleasant listening tape, it is not a tape of songs sung by native speakers; rather, it is sung by one singer who sings like an opera singer, not like a singer with whom you can sing along.I know some of these songs well, and the words are not sung clearly enough by the singer that I could make out the words I did know.
