Album Description

Formed in NYC in the mid-'70s by David Byrne, Chris Franz, Tina Weymouth, and ex-Modern Lover Jerry Harrison, Talking Heads soared out of their humble CBGB's beginnings to become Rock and Roll Hall of Famers and one of the most adventurous and influential bands ever. The onstage energy that propelled their rise to fame was documented in the 1982 double-LP set THE NAME OF THIS BAND IS TALKING HEADS, now available on CD for the first time. Following them through several early evolutions from '77-'81, this live gem - a 1982 Top 40 Billboard Album- is a riveting portrait of a stellar band on the rise. For its CD debut it's been expanded with over 30 minutes of rare and mostly previously unreleased bonus material.

Staggering beauty.......2007-06-28

My wife and I have all of the Talking Heads releases (now on CD, but previously on every available format, depending on the era). This CD, like all of the Talking Heads material, shines with a brilliant originality that staggers (yes, it's OK to use this word twice in a review of a Talking Heads release) the mind.

If this is your first experience with the Talking Heads, the next purchase is the DVD "Stop Making Sense". You may never remove it from your DVD player.

If you ever have the chance to see David Byrne perform live, don't miss it. It's a life-altering experience.

Metamorphosis in front of your ears!.......2007-03-16

An amazingly unique live album in that it takes the listener over about a five-year span of the band's live performances, revealing an almost unprecedented maturation in songwriting and musicianship -- and all before they hit their stride with "Speaking in Tongues" and the live album (one performance) "Stop Making Sense"!! It's just so sad and a shame that the band ending up growing so much that they broke away from each other. David Byrne is certainly talented, but Talking Heads was his peak.

NOT FOR HEAD NEWBIES BUT HAS A LOT TO OFFER FOR THE VETERAN.......2007-02-17

out of the two CD'S the second one stands out in my opinion as having the best tunes the versions are quite a bit different than the studio versions which makes them interessting to the veteran HEADS fan who already has all the studio albums ,there are some nice guitar riffs that accelerates the pace of some songs,all in all a wortwhile addition to an already stuffed collection but definetely NOT a first HEADS album

For Heads-head only.......2006-09-15

I bought this CD set because all I had by TH was The Best Of and I wanted a little more by them, but I'm by no means a Talking Heads-head. For a person like me, this album isn't very good. The one song worth downloading is "A Clean Break (Let's Work)," which is extremely catchy. Two other songs that were not on The Best Of--"Pulled Up" and "The Big Country"--are great, but better in their original album versions. There are also some cool feedback moments, like the guitar freak-out that concludes the version of "Psycho Killer" on the first disc. If you're a member of the TH cult (and there's no shame in that), I'm sure you'll like it; as for the people like me, I don't recommend it. I'll be selling my copy, and I rarely do that, even though I go out pretty far on a limb with some of my music purchases.

Their best live set.......2006-08-16

When this was released on double LP twenty years ago, it offered an incredible overview of the Talkinh Heads live. Indeed it covers the early years up to the Remain in Light-era big band. Musically it is much more interesting that the Stop Making Sense soundtrack. The sound recording is maybe not as nice and Byrne's singing is not as polished. The playing is however much more strong. However the set represented is overall much stronger and it is also quite evident that the Remain In Light band was the best line-up simply. Songs such as The Great Curve are simly great and these versions are actually the definitive ones in my opinion. Rhino has again done a superb job by adding may songs to this beautiful CD.

Bassist for James Brown and Parliament-Funkadelic, Bootsy's solo career has been a George Clinton produced extension of the P-Funk philosophy, with Collins portraying the role of "Starchild, Player of the Year." Collins' vocals, are off-handedly cool in the manner of Jimi Hendrix, whose flamboyance Collins unmistakably aspires to. However, the music is definitely in the Parliament vein, with practically everyone from the band's late-'70s peak aboard, including Mike Hampton, Jerome Brailey and the horny horns. Conceptually, sci-fi reins, and the watery sound of Collins' aqua-bass doesn't get in the way of a mostly up-tempo album. This might be his best solo work. --D. Strauss

Yo' Bootsy, let me borrow ya spaceship, I'll bring it right back!.......2007-02-12

This man along with the Funk Master George Clinton single handedly changed the way I looked at music in my younger years.

They created a concept and an imaginary world where funky music was fun.

George Clinton and Bootsy Collins R the undeniable tag team of funk in its most purest form.

This CD is Bootsy's coolest one to date.
From the CD cover to the songs on the project,...U can just feel the era of funk that rocked us all back then.
I'm definitely a Rubber Fan for life.

Back in the Day.......2006-03-11

It reminds me of the time when I was 18 and stood in line for hours for Bootsy Concert Tickets...

DEEP In The STANK!!.......2006-03-03

WOW! Now this is what the Funk is about! The best Bootsy Rubberband album. Side A is so Funk stank, you need a respirator to listen to it! Side B is the funky ballad side. Munchies is Bootsy's greatest song which has his best bass work from that era.

Abstract Funk.......2005-06-21

the guitar in the background of munchies for your love sounds like eddie hazel or jimi phoning it in from heaven or wherever great guitiarist go.This Is Bootsy's Electric Ladyland Pinnochio Theory is off the beaten path but on the one funk. Rubber duckie is bing Crosby,Looney tunes funk.Whats a telephone Bill Has a great line "wait a minute operator I wasn't talking to you" It's like bootsy's Octo pu-pu-pu-pusses line from be my beach. Ilove this abstract slice of funk.

SAY BOOTSY!!!!!.......2005-02-06

I kid you not-THIS ALBUM IS CRAZED!!!The critics are all 100% right-'Ahh...The Name Is Bootsy,Baby' should carry a disclaimer saying 'Warning:This album will FUNK YOU UP'.Maybe one complaint is that,at least on the uptempo cuts Bootsy doesn't know when to relax-this is hyper extended funk that's loud,cacaughanous and obviously bassy to the extreme.The first side just punches right in with the insane title track,doesn't change a thing on "Pinocchio Theory" and "Rubber Duckie" then smooths out on the calmer ballad styles of "Munchies For Your Love" and "What's A Telephone Bill" on the second half,pointing out what a strong straight singer and good songwriter Bootsy is.
Of course it's right back into funk with the slower burning groove of "Can't Stay Away" with it's crazy cartoon vocals.So in conclusion if your not into having disco mixed in with your funk or think George Clinton's Parliafunkadelicment Thang is a bit self indulgant for your tastes this (as well as most of Bootsy's other solo albums of this period) deliver the funk in a far less refined way-giving it up straight,or totally out of shape as the Rubber Band will give it!

Must for your collection ~ and your childrens collection.......2003-09-23

What a wonderful introduction to classical music for your children this CD is. My children love it and I do too. We use it as bedtime music now (ages 4 & 7). However, if your children really tune in to the music it can be a bit unnerving in parts so we used to only listen to it at home or in the car......they had to gain a few years to become comfortable with it in the darkness of their rooms at night. Buy this!

Teddy Bears a Must-Listen!.......2000-09-06

This is the first CD by the New Columbian Brass Band I have ever purchased, and I can't wait to own them all. This virtuoso group is a joy to listen to. Owning this CD is a must for lovers of brass band/turn-of-the-century music. It's a delight!

The cat's meow!.......2000-05-16

Dorian Recordings should be given some kind of award for the most imaginative releases of not only great historical but great musical value. (DOR-93201) features the New Columbian Brass Band under George Foreman playing 15 pieces written from 1900 to 1921 and inspired by animals.

So we have "The Teddy Bears Picnic," "A Morning in Noah's Ark," "The Two Little Bullfinches," "Turkey in the Straw," and even "Tiger Rag." The Noah's Ark number is replete with animal sounds by a guest expert and links up with an earlier Dorian release called "A Trip to Coney Island: Descriptive Overtures from America's Golden Age" (DOR-80153), which introduced me to a form of musical tone poem very popular around the turn of the century.

This is one of those rare recordings that will appeal to all age levels; and scholars will be delighted to note that "Turkey in the Straw" is actually a Humoresque for Clarinet. Also anyone who has ever seen barnyard chickens in any old Warner Brothers cartoon will have already heard "Chicken Reel." A very definite 5 star Grabbit.

Excellent!.......2003-09-22

This is a great album. Trout Fishing sometimes does some humor songs that you might not want to listen to over and over (like if the CD was in constant rotation) but that is not a problem on this CD. The only odd one is The Day the Bass Players Took Over the World and it is not disruptive (of a mood) to keep it out of CD rotation. The quality of every other song is unsurpassed. The best song in my opinion is "Not Fade Away" which sounds like a Buddy Holly tune but better. "Lost in Her Lips" and "Tongue Tied" are two other of my favorites but there are no sound bytes for them. The best test to see if you will like the album is listen to the clips for "Spider's Fence", "Cracked Up" and "Soon the Night". If you like those, they are pretty indicative of the album. "Soon the Night" is another that is especially good.

Who Are These People?.......2000-08-30

I will answer my own question - these people are quite possibly the best duo in America. These guys have been playing together for over 20 years and it shows - very together - you wonder how two guys can produce such a full sound.

My favorites are 'Not Fade Away' - a great rendition of the Buddy Holly clasic; 'The Day the Bass Players Took Over The World' - price some better speakers and watch out for this Napoleonic bass player; and 'Lucky Guy' - hilarious and touching. Buy this one.

Best Trout alblum.......1999-12-10

I think this is the best album the guys have ever produced. The only songs on it whih do not do much for me are "Ode to Big Blue" which is a not-so-hot rendition of an old Lightfoot song and "lost in her lips". Otherwise, it is a really great, free-spirited album and I encourage anyone who likes TFIA to buy this one first. For those who do not know TFIA, this is a great introduction to their music.

Some great songs mixed with some "not so hot".......1999-09-25

Most of the music on this cd does not do much for me, BUT there are 3 or 4 that are GREAT.... Ode to Big Blue, Lost in Her Lips, and, my favorite, The Day the Bass Players Took Over the World are worth the whole cd

Their first CD (but not their first Album).......1998-11-26

As a 10 year fan of Trout Fishing in America, I can unequivocally say that this is my favorite band of all time. I see them live whenever they come thru Texas.
