Everyone knows the theme. But music lovers know that John Williams belts out the most memorable scores around. Between Star Wars, Superman, E.T. and Indiana Jones he has done some of his best work.
I already own the released soundtracks and they are all great but as per usual when you watch the films you think why was that piece not included. When they finally, after years of waiting, got round to releasing the complete Star Wars CD's they were fantastic, and it was all there. Even though I already own all the Indiana Jones OST's I shall still be buying this. Those little snippets previously unreleased are just the lost treasure Indy himself would be after.
Agree with everyone else though.

Coming just 2 years after Taylor's last album of covers songs (James Taylor at Christmas, itself a reissue of the 2004 Hallmark James Taylor Xmas Cd) and a year after the unplugged live album, this new album again highlights how indifferent Taylor's career has been. Once memorably described as a purveyor of counter culture melodies, Taylor never recaptured the heights of his Sweet Baby James album of 1970. The rest of the '70's saw Taylor settle into an easy pattern of having hits with other peoples songs whilst having very few self penned hits (and this guy was inducted into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame??!!) Quite how he's managed to sustain a career over 40 years is anyone's guess but the guy must have some pretty good publicists who are to spin ... Read More:

This compilation covers all the 13 A side singles & 7 of their B sides during or after their period. The music is a mix of Country, Rhythm & Blues & Rock & Roll with a dash of Hard Rock thrown it & the Country Funk "Down On The Corner". The reason I'm giving this 3 stars is the fact that I'm not that into Country Music which nearly half the selection sounds like on here. My other gripe is that not all the B sides are here. Then again this got released on vinyl in 1976. On the other hand with CD technology (80 mins) they could of re-released it to include all the B sides. If you are curious about this band (like I was) I recommend this as a starting point. If you are a Countryish fan you can add to more stars to mine.

A little late in the day to be sure sure but with good reason.

I wasn't sure I wanted to hear it but having bought the album
it then took me a good year to absorb its' wily charms.

'Shine' is a conceit of a sort you see.

The languidly marvelous orchestral excesses of'Both Sides Now' (2000)
and 'Travelogue' (2002) notwithstanding it has been almost
a decade since the last recording of new and original material and
'Taming The Tiger' (1998) could never be seen to have been a high point
in Ms Mitchell's long and illustrious career.

Having 'retired' from the business of strumming and singing in
2002 her muse lay dormant for a while but we can be glad that
she has set ... Read More:

James Hunter previous album, "People Gonna Talk", remains a real gem of a record - wonderfully sharp songs, brilliantly played and exquisitely produced by Liam Watson. After a number years of hard graft and solid touring, Hunter and his band had delivered an exceptional record.

Fortunately, with all the success it brought, everyone went back to Watson's Toe Rag Studios and decided to do it all over again. It was a great formula, so why mess with it? So, much like its predecessor, "Hard Times" is a witty, intelligent record that repeatedly harks back to a different era but easily avoids being considered derivative or a pastiche.

The musical arrangements are skilled and effortless, Hunter's songs are smart and lyrics crafty - his vocals and understated ... Read More:

6.Most Requested Songs by: Susannah McCorkle
October 15, 2001
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

>>More Details
Music : Most Requested Songs
Susannah McCorkle's notes to this compilation are so good-humored, as is her general approach to interpreting the songs, that it's a shock to find out it was her last project before committing suicide. The choice of "For all we know" as the last track is a bit shiver-inducing. Having said that, this is a hugely enjoyable selection covering her entire career. Highlights are "Waters of March" delivered like a magic charm, "I thought about you" a real late-night feel with a perfect tenor solo from the great Frank Wess and a nicely arranged tribute to Chet Baker "Look for the silver lining." In fact, all the tracks are highlights, not a "best of" but a "most requested" like the ultimate Susannah McCorkle gig which, sadly, none of us will ever see.

That Ms Stone (nee Brown) has never quite hit the BIG big time is a mystery.

Her 2006 appearance on Celebrity Fit Club would not necessarily have helped matters.

The real reason however is more likely to be a musical one.
Ms Stone's choice of material is just a little too far to the left of the mainstream to
have guaranteed her a place in the pantheon of great soul divas.

Uncompromising quality lays at the heart of her previous three releases and
'The Art Of Love And War' is no exception.

The warm, laid-back, velvety quality of her voice imbues all 14 tracks of this
splendid little album with a soft golden sheen.
Her tone, phrasing and the fluid elegance of her consummate interpretive
ability are ... Read More:

As a lifelong fan of JT (I grew up listening to his songs) I was gutted I missed the DVD of this set being shown on TV last week. I ordered this, and let me say this is excellent. If you are a fan of JT, get this, a great live album, and the DVD of the show, with insights into his past and family life, with his typically dry sense of humour, are magic to watch and listen to.

It has been a long time coming but the end result is a quality product. My girlfriend and I listened to it for the first time on a long drive across Germany and Belgium and we liked it so much that we let it repeat several times. The melodies are good, the musicianship is first class and some of the political comment is very apt. he even nods in the direction of CCR a couple of times. Great stuff!
