Less successful when it's sentimental (Waylon Jennings' "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys") than when it's wry (Willie Nelson's myth-puncturing "Me and Paul"), this cash-in compilation of previously released cuts was just in time to grab the first platinum record ever awarded a country album. It's not bad, but both Jennings' contemporaneous Dreaming My Dreams and Nelson's Red Headed Stranger are more nuanced tastes of the good-bad-but-not-evil-ol'-boy lifestyle. (Not to mention much of Tompall Glaser's own Outlaw compilation.) This 1996 CD reissue adds nine more tracks from the era as well as a new Jennings-and-Nelson version of Steve Earle's "Nowhere Road." --Rickey Wright

THE BIRTH OF THE "OUTLAW MOVEMENT" IN NASHVILLE ! (and the rest of the world, too).......2007-07-11

Wanted: the Outlaws (1976) is the album that changed country music forever. Although most of the songs on the album had been previously released, the way it was all packaged and marketed reached an audience that hadn't been interested in this genre before, young rock music fans. The album cover featured photos of the long-haired, bearded, and rugged-looking Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Tompall Glaser, along with Waylon's attractive wife, Jessi Colter, on an old wild-west WANTED! poster. The music inside is a collection of country music, most of it on the rowdy side, with a couple of catchy ballads by Jessi. Waylon and Jessi sing an energetic duet on Elvis' Suspicious Minds. Willie sings of a musician's rowdy life on the road in Me And Paul, and then creates a thoughtful barroom scene in Yesterday's Wine. Waylon's at a bar, too, but he's country rocking with his song, Honky Tonk Heroes. He also sings the reflective My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys. Jessi's ballads, I'm Looking For Blue Eyes and You Mean To Say are very good, and she's a great singer. Waylon and Willie duet on Heaven And Hell, and their co-written anthem Good Hearted Woman, which includes an audience track to sound "live". Tompall adds his country-rock version of Jimmie Rodgers' T for Texas and the hilarious Put Another Log On The Fire. The album sold millions, and opened the door for a new brand of country music that would dominate the scene for the next decade. Even ol' Buck and Roy started sporting beards on the TV series Hee Haw, and so did Glen Campbell! Other country singers, like Hank Williams, Jr., David Allan Coe, and Johnny Paycheck got on board, and older outlaws like Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard enjoyed new interest in their careers. Country rock acts, like Charlie Daniels and The Marshall Tucker Band joined in, and the "Outlaw Movement" became an influential force in contemporary music. This 20th anniversary issue is well put together, remastered to sound better than ever, and includes many songs that weren't on the original. The songs are listed as "The Original", "The Lost", and "The New". "The Original" are the songs that were included on the original release. "The Lost" are previously released songs by the singers as separate artists. The best of these are Waylon's (I'm A) Ramblin' Man and Slow Movin' Outlaws, Willie's You Left A Long, Long Time Ago and Healing Hands Of Time, and the duets with Waylon and Jessi. "The New" is the Steve Earle produced Nowhere Road, which is a new country rocker that features Waylon and Willie together. Wanted: The Outlaws is an important country music album, a peice of history, really, and is essential for every fan of country music, or music in general.

Wanted: The Outlaws.......2007-05-28

I think this reissue of the 70's classic is a perfect example of less being more. I am not certain if any of the new additions make this CD better than the first version. In fact, to be honest, I think the first version is a 5 star classic, while this reissue overall deserves a solid 4 stars. My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys is the best of the bunch here, while the cover of Suspicious Minds is outstanding. I always loved the two songs from Colter, and I think the addition of more from her lessens the overall impact of You Mean to Say and Looking for Blue Eyes. A great CD. The sound here is fantastic.

One of the Classics!.......2007-03-09

I have wore mine out. I need to buy a new copy.

Texas music.......2007-03-08

A real gem and the heart of the outlaw country music movement. The recent re-release with the songs added that didn't make the first album is a nice addition to any collection. Makes you wonder why they didn't include them the first time around. Who knows. If you thought it was great on vinyl you'll love it on cd, just a Fantastic album!

Original Was Better.......2007-02-28

In agreement with most of the reviews here, if you love the 70's country music so-called outlaw movement, you will love the music here, I have the original on a still working 8 track, I was very excited to get an
expandanded edition of this on disk, but to be honest, the longer edition looses something for me, I do "like" Jessi Colter, but as we all know, she does not carry this album, extra tracks included 3 Jessi solos in a row, then 2 Jessi duets with Waylon, that part of the Cd was a bit much for me, but besides that one pont, this is still a great set of tunes and an essential part of country music history to own.

Amazon.com

Hilary Duff stares off the cover of Most Wanted with the look of a doe-eyed, feathered-haired criminal. Or maybe she's just exhausted, which would explain why she revisits so much already-released material. Three of the teen queen's biggest, brightest hits ("Come Clean," "Rock This World," and "Why Not") get the remix treatment. Impossible though it seems, each remix is still zippier than the original. Perennial fave "So Yesterday" is squished between the hard-rockin', deeply satisfying "Mr. James Dean" from 2004's Hilary Duff and the too-girlie-for-its-own-good "Metamorphosis" from the same-named 2003 disc. There are three originals including opener "Wake Up", a slightly self-pitying look inside the celebrity glass bubble, but to a great beat, the danceable "Beat of my Heart," and emo-esque "Break My Heart." The burning question of whether it's worth it to buy this record based on the inarguably good remixes and three original tracks will be dictated by how severe her fan base's withdrawal symptoms are. If magazine covers bear any relation to the old practice of plastering a town with "wanted" posters, odds are Duff's zillions of fans will not only find this disc but help her deliver on its smart title's promise. --Tammy La Gorce

Customer Reviews:

Duff Redone.......2007-07-02

This is just a repackaging of the stuff from Hilary's first 2 albums. Only 2 new songs, WAke Up and Beat of My Heart. Wake Up is pretty good; Beat of My Heart is rather childish. If you have Hil's first 2, no real need to get this.

I'm Coming Clean.......2007-04-22

I like Hilary Duff's music, so sue me. My music tastes have always been much more id driven than my movie taste and I think that Duff represents that perfectly. Her movies are basically the cinematic incarnations of her songs (light, frothy, girly) and in my mind are almost universally bad. The only two that I will openly admit to liking are "Cheaper By The Dozen" and "Agent Cody Banks" and neither of those were vehicles built around her. Both of her art forms have the distinct taste of being cooked up in laboratory, but while the movies remind me of Spam the music goes down easy like a delicious Chicken McNugget.

"Wake Up", "Come Clean", and "So Yesterday" are three of my favorite pop songs of the past five years. "Wake Up", which I'm sure was supposed to be a melancholy take on celebrity lifestyle but ends up sounding like a disingenuous princess whining is a near perfect bubblegum song. It slaps around pretty much everything the blond bimbos of the 90's put out and I could listen to that song all day. And I certainly do not trust anybody who tells me that they are not charmed by the melody of "So Yesterday." Yes all these songs were written by people other than Duff and are extremely guilty pleasures. But do you want my honest take on this album or do you want me to lie. This is a greatest hits album so I have to deduct some points just to be fair. It is a great collection of songs to be sure, but it represents many years and many albums. I'm sure that I am saving myself a whole lot of pain and suffering by skipping over the filler on the previous albums and just sticking to the good stuff (go on and laugh). Also, I have no intentions of defending her weak points as an artist. She is what she is, which is a spoiled, rich Momma's girl who has probably never made one career decision in her entire life. She has never taken on a project, in music or film, that is the least bit challenging or edgy. Instead she has stuck with her Disney Channel created image and tried to ride that as far as it would take her. Or put another way, there is a difference between saying a girl can rock and a girl actually rocking. Personally, I blame her emotionally weak mother whose name shows up on way too many gossip pages, but what do I know?

I am assuming that most of you are snickering at me right now, very secure in your knowledge that you are far too sophisticated to listen to anything as silly as this. But I strongly urge you to get over your pretensions. And no, I have no interest in hearing from the music snobs either since every one of you I have ever met has had the most corporate movie taste imaginable. Word on the street says that on her new album Duff writes her own lyrics, but I have yet to hear it. "Most Wanted" sounds like it was written for 10 year old girls, and it probably was, and still it got plenty of spins on my CD player. ***1/2

I love every one!.......2007-04-08

I love every album,hilary Duff rules.All her albums are soooooo good!I love them.I have a lot of Hilary duff stuff.Only a few examples:one album,hil duff tee,hilary duff backpack,and MUCH more.It would take years to name!But I think anyone who love hilary Duff,you should buy this product.And,maybe even all her albums!I got it as an Easter present,you could end up with one too! (love this product)

Not really the "Most Wanted" songs.......2007-02-25

I own this cd and like it. But I have all of her other cds so really this cd had nothing new except the 3 new songs. Break My Heart and Beat of my Heart are sort of the same. I think she should have done a different title, there too much alike. This is a good cd for first time Hilary listeners, because it has all of her best. But it seems like the "best" of Hilary wasn't what I thought were the best songs of her. But I would recemend this cd to those who don't know Hilary's music yet, and want to hear what she's like.

She's going down "Hil".......2007-02-14

I don't own this album and personally would never want to. I do have Metamorphosis, but I bought that when I was 15 years old. I listened to a few songs on here because of an article I read stating the worst albums in each genre. This was one of them. Being a former Hilary Duff fan, I decided to check it out.
If you like a girl who's trying to be in the rock genre, but doing very poorly at it, this album is for you.

Amazon.com

The magical triad behind Rushmore's spunky, starry-eyed soundtrack--music supervisor Randall Poster, composer Mark Mothersbaugh, and director Wes Anderson--leaps forward a decade from that beloved soundtrack's '60s gems, in the process adopting a more pensive feel for The Royal Tenenbaums' musical backdrop. It may lack the euphoric sing-along feel of, say, Creation's "Makin' Time," but the rock and folk tracks here perfectly match the film's crumbling characters and their dilapidated relationships. The Ramones' "Judy Is a Punk" is a burst of nostalgic rebellion but surely causes a sad twinge in light of Joey Ramone's untimely death in 2001; gloom-folker Nick Drake's "Fly" and Elliott Smith's excellently depressing "Needle in the Hay"--which is used to chilling effect during a wrist-slashing scene--further deepen the dark thread running through Tenenbaums. But those who prefer the sunny disposition of Rushmore will be thrilled by the calming concoctions of Mothersbaugh, who heralds the coming of a new scene with graceful woodwind/string parts ("Scrapping and Yelling") and playful sitar pieces ("Pagoda's Theme"). Throw in the Clash's squalling "Police & Thieves" and the Velvet Underground's petal-soft "Stephanie Says" and you've got another winning soundtrack from the film biz's most in-tune music lovers. Tenenbaum or not, you can go home again. --Kristy Martin

Hey, maybe you guys can help me, does anyone know the title of the song playing on a radio while owen wilson is getting high (or preparing to do so) with his friends and his dad and brother step in and tell him they want to help him. I really love that song and i have no idea what the title is

omitted song.......2006-02-01

For anyone interested, one song which was omitted from the soundtract which has not been mentioned is:

Emitt Rhodes - Lullabye

A beautiful track played in the scence where Royal is lying in his bed sucking down a shake and reading a book when Chas say "lights out old man" and switchs off the light. One of my fav songs in the movie along side the rolling stones - she smiled sweetly. sadly both songs were omitted but still a beautiful soundtrack.

Where's Van Morrison?!.......2005-03-16

This is a near-perfect collection of 60's and 70's pop and folk. The sad but hopeful vibe of the songs fits the movie's tone perfectly and you can't really agrue with songs like "Stephanie Says." it's also nice to hear the two Nico cuts since Nico's solo work really doesn't get the acclaim it deserves these days. My problem with this album is that it favors symphonic songs from the film instead of pop songs also used in it such as "Ruby Tuesday" and Van Morrison's "Everyone." I'm really bummed about the exclusion of "Everyone" because i thought it closed the movie so well. They should have released the score and the soundtrack separately so all these great songs could be included.

The Royal Tenenbaums Soundtrack.......2005-03-14

The Collector's Edition Soundtrack leaves out two great Rolling Stones' tunes She Smiled Sweetly & Ruby Tuesday. Also left to the winds is John Lennon's Look at Me, the Clash's Rock the Kazbah. The First Edition leaves a few tunes off too but it is a far better Soundtrack. Puckstar

Album Details

Tommy Dunbar and Jon Rubin Formed the Rubinoos While Still in Junior High School. By Age Fourteen, after Playing a Few School Dances, They Graduated to the Club Circuit. In 1975 the Band was Signed as One of the Original Acts on the Newly Formed Beserkley Label. The Rubinoos Made their Recording Debut that Year with the Song Gorilla, on the Beserkley Chartbusters LP. Continuing the Trend of Bands Such as the Raspberries with their Engaging Blend of Innocent Bubblegum and Power Pop, their Cover of Tommy James' `i Think We're Alone Now' Made an Appearance in the Lower Reaches of the USA Charts which Gave the Label Its First Hit. With a Career Now Into Its 32nd Year, the Rubinoos Show No Sign of Losing their Inspiration and Continue to Deliver Perfect Power-pop Songs. Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About is a 3-disc Set Detailing the Bands Entire Career from '75 and Includes a Complete Previously Unreleased Concert Recorded at Hammersmith Odean in April 1978 Along with Rare Demos.

Customer Reviews:

These guys coulda been contenders..........2007-06-15

..and in a better world, the Rubinoos would've been stars. The proof's in this sparkling three-disc set. If you like guitar-driven melodic pop with soaring harmony vocals and some tongue-in-cheek humor thrown in for good measure, it doesn't get much better than this. The obvious influences are '60s-era Beach Boys and the Raspberries, but the Rubinoos' music stands on its own merits and is well worth discovering.

If you're already a Rubes' fan, the best reason to buy this set is the terrific remastering job. I offer in evidence "Rendezvous," an Andy Paley song originally recorded for--then left off of--the band's 1978 long-player BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD. I'd heard this song previously on their 1994 rarities collection GARAGE SALE, where it sounded like a 16-year-old outtake. Not any more. Now it leaps out of the speakers, sounding like the Beach Boys produced by Phil Spector, background vocals and castanets right in the room with you. Amazing. And pretty much every song sounds this good (who knew there was so much bass to be found in those old Beserkley tapes?) There might also be the odd track you haven't found elsewhere, like the Rubes' title song from the "Revenge Of The Nerds" soundtrack, or their cover of the Raspberries' "Cruisin' Music." The previously unreleased 1978 Hammersmith Odeon concert also included here is just icing on the cake.

So buy this box to either discover a wonderful, unjustly-neglected band, or to hear familiar songs sound better than they ever have before. You win either way.

Power Pop Classics from the Rubinoos.......2007-04-20

Simply put the Rubinoos are one of the Greatest Power Pop Bands of all time! And while this really does NOT include "Everything " it does a great Job by featuring all of the Songs from their first Two LP's and a ton of tunes from the rest of their 30+ year Career! What really makes this a must have is the Super Live Show featured on disc three from 1978. Energy galore!

EAR CANDY.......2007-04-06

The Rubinoos are a talented band who did not get the recognition they deserved.They rock with hooks and leave the listener wondering who are these "guys"....Buy it,enjoy it and spread the word about THE RUBINOOS".

An Embarrassment of Riches.......2007-04-05

These guys were way too good in the '70s, and they're still way too good. A band has that managed to draw on roots and influences and still sound totally fresh, The Rubinoos are LONG overdue for this sort of collection. Buy it now, and once you've had the tremendously fun experience of listening to it (and that's one of the great things about this great band--their music is just so damn much fun to listen to), buy another copy for your best friend. He or she will thank you. And speaking of thanks, here's to the band for all the music in this set, a document that shows how great they were at the beginning and that proves they haven't lost a step.

Power pop at it's finest..........2007-04-04

You should not buy this set if you don't like hooky songs, great harmonies and incredible guitars. You should not buy this set if you don't like The Beatles, The Beach Boys and The Raspberries. Even if you already own Rubinoos LPs or CDs, the incredible mastering, the recently discovered and freshly mixed 1978 live performance from The Hammersmith Odeon makes this purchase a no-brainer. You've been warned, don't play cute.

Actually these chaps were very wanted at the time.......2006-07-12

UKJ come into town on their one trick pony. The whole schtick of appealing to normal middle class kids desperate to think the world is against them.... Well the packaging sets that trick up nicely along with the title choice. Not to mention the song Neighbour as lead song.

But darn it all this pretty much works. Sure it's based on nothin' but air, a few squared off riffs and Whitfield Cranes engaging vocals but most of the time when you reach for the skip button something stops your hand. Tracks such as Come Tomorrow and Panhandlin' Prince work their witless charm though when the delve too deeply into whimsical territory things fall over (see Busy Bee).

Madman and Everything About You are regurgitated from the debut EP and everyone at the time became familiar with the bands take on Cats in the Cradle. This tune split many at the time - dunno 'bout you but I always felt the original spoke louder to parents, while UKJ's version with it's more youthful attack spoke more clearly to those not yet dads.

In summation a totally non essential release but definitely a good party album full of irreverent lyrics and simple cartoon style songs - some of which have some surprising heft such as Goddam Devil. Not to mention the closer, the track Mr Recordman which has a spark of maturity about it.

I Liked It.......2006-03-18

This album is highly entertaining. Good lyrics, good rhymes, funny, catchy tunes, it's got everything. Everytime I listen to it, the world feels like a better place. A real mood uplifter.

Average.......2005-03-14

This album I would say is average maybe a little above. I'd say it has two down falls lyrics and variety. All the songs kinda sound the same and are about the same thing. Basically the singer tries to hard to be "Metal". I'd say that if your looking for something very simular go for Skid Row or Motley Crue who do sound much like this band. The worst idea of all was however to cover the song "Cats In The Cradle". Heres why, the song is basically about a son and father who don't have enough time for each other. When the son is young he wants to spend time with his dad but he is too busy and when the dad gets older he wants to spend time with his son but he's too busy. Than to the to singing "And the cats in the cradle and the sliver spoon little jimmy... and the man on the moon" what is that supposed to mean. On the postive even though the songs sound a lot alike the instrumentals and singing got a different sound from typical metal. Plus with a name like that you'd think they would just be extremely terrible which they are not. In the end if you want a real metal cd stay away but if you like poppy music you may like this.

I guess some things just can't compete with Blizzard Beasts.......2005-02-03

Before you decide whether to call someone's opinion helpful, read their other reviews. This CD was not overlooked in its time and yes, millions of people did in fact buy it. It is incredibly funny and the band is moderately musically talented. The lyrics are inane but the riffs and solos are top-notch.
As far as posterity goes, people will probably not buy a million more copies of this CD in the future. However, they will remember a few songs on it with a nod and maybe a chuckle. That's more than we can say for anything Overkill or Hollowman has produced or ever will produce.

not for the serous-minded .......2004-11-01

this patrick dude is obviously jealous that his folk down under don't have any famous bands (except AC/DC and midnight oil, which are beyond anyone's notion of "bad"). i'm writing this review simply because i'm (...)that some (...)writing (...) about someone who's died very young in a tragic bike accident (whitfield's dead,...). this is one of the albums i grew up with so it sort of has a sentimental value for me. anyone who picks this up looking for superb musicianship, creative arrangements and deep, philosophical lyrics and sh*t is either misguided or just a(...). this is simply care-free, humorous biker/surfer/glam rock at its best. anyone who's heard "everything about you" knows what they're in store for. UKJ have later on actually taken a slightly more "serious" turn with "motel califiornia", but this is still a great album. fun to listen to. i listen to a lot of various (...), . but i like this just as same. a simplistic, fun and catchy album. perfect soundtrack for a ride by the beach on a hot summer's day (topped off with a cold beer, of course). they might not have a street named after them and they might not floor you with their mind-boggling musicianship and intricate lyrics and ideas, but in every person's life there are moments when you get sick of that cr*p (especially during the summer, when you feel just too good and light-hearted for anything else). well, "america's least wanted" just might be what you need right then.

They may be signed to Domino--the same label that unleashed Franz Ferdinand and Arctic Monkeys on the world--but the last thing London duo Galia Durant and Carim Clasmann want to do is pick up a guitar. Their second album is most notable for its pots-n-pans percussion and thrift store brass, which, when paired with a series of lavish electro-folk melodies, make the band sound like the Postal Service's exotic foreign cousin or a more homespun Stereolab. "Cosy in the Rocket" will already be familiar to fans of "Grey's Anatomy": it's the hit televisions series' theme song. The rest of the disc will sound reassuringly unfamiliar to all. --Aidin Vaziri

Album Description

This London-based duo's formula of addictive melodies, electronic frolics, and found sounds have put them on the musical map. Silly noises married to sultry vocals and perspicacious lyrics produce recordings of shimmering originality and nascent charm. "The problem with a lot of electronic music is that it either takes itself too seriously or not seriously enough. Psapp offers the perfect solution: do both...knick-knacky sound effects, plucky violin, and whizzing bleeps over warm, elastic beats for a euphoric sound that's like a toy closet come to life" - SF Weekly.

Great, diverse album.......2007-01-24

I, like, it would appear, most people, stumbled upon this band by accident. I went to see an acoustic guitarist in concert, and Psapp was opening. Since I arrived late (I'd never heard of the opener and didn't expect them to be too good,) I wandered into a wall of loud clunking sounds that made me want to dance more than anyththing Ive ever heard. So I bought the album and found not only these great, unique, and totally jamming dance numbers--played with squeaky toys and cans in concert--but some amazingly pretty and tuneful sons as well. I havent heard their first album, so I cant really speak to that, but this one, I assure you, is just great. Its always a good sign when so many people--just look through other reviews--like so many different tracks (My favorites are Tricycle, Needle and Thread, and hi). This should certainly not be tossed aside as simply a gimmick band. When the slight novelty factor of this band wears off, youre left with a really amazingly tuneful, well-written, and elegant album. A must-buy, in my opinion.

Can't Smoke Without It.......2006-12-11

Right now if I'm going to smoke out I have to have this album playing. It's like Seasame Street On Mushrooms. A must have in any collection.

another good one.......2006-10-15

The Only Thing I Ever Wanted is slightly less whimsical and innocent, both lyrically and musically, than Psapp's first record Tiger, My Friend. But it's still Psapp, which means it's pretty whimsical and innocent and has lots of keyboards and cats.

The exceedingly British female vox, eclectic percussion and random noisemakers (including what seems to be a rubber duckie on Tricycle) that are Psapp's staple are all still on display, never fear. But where the last album was highlighted by cheerful numbers like "About Fun," this one has a somewhat more somber, mature, and at times almost world-weary air to it. Make Up is a simple piano-and-vocal ballad that is as thought-provoking as anything the band has ever done, but it's not exactly a happy song. King of You is sultry and downright cynical. This Way is a real downer (and also my least favorite track on this record).

But it's not just the words (and certainly not The Words, a cut which jumps with joy, albeit with a knowing smile: "Oh, I can't abandon this foolish notion, it's too much fun") that determine the mood in this album. The mixes are emotionally chillier this time around. But that doesn't make them worse: the change is quite by design, and works splendidly.

All told, The Only Thing I Ever Wanted is just as good as its predecessor, though I am slightly more predisposed to Tiger My Friend. If you liked Tiger, get this. If you didn't hear of Tiger, you should also get this, immediately after getting Tiger. This is no sophomore slump. Psapp is still in the game, and the music world is better for it.

Album highlights: Hi, King of You, The Words, Needle and Thread, Eating Spiders, and Tricycle, particularly Tricycle, which I adore.

No Sophmore Slump.......2006-06-22

This album not only fulfills the quality of a Psapp album, it takes you on a journey to a wonderful place filled with luscious instruments and vivid songs, and of course, cats. Standout Tracks: "Hi", "King of You", "Eating Spiders".

This album is one of the best of the year!!

A nice followup to Tiger My Friend.......2006-06-17

I, like many others, was hypnotized by 'Cosy in the Rocket', a portion of which is used in the ABC drama 'Grey's Anatomy'. I purchased Psapp's first US release, Tiger My Friend, in May 2005 and have listened to it often. I'm not a heavy music consumer but I didn't hesitate to purchase these CDs (support independent labels!) I preordered this album mere days before it was due to be released; I received it only one day after the release. I am listening to it for the second time. I'm not sure if it will grow on me like Tiger did, yet - time will tell. I can say that listening to the last track, 'Upstairs', is best experienced in a quieter room with immersive headphones - the sound effects of creaking floors above are uncannily real. I guess this album doesn't seem quite as experimental and unique to me, but that's okay.

Wanted.....Mason Proffit recognized.......2007-05-08

It's very interesting how the music industry markets its product and how this very valuable gem slipped thru the cracks. In all my years of listening to good and obscured music, this one gets to the point and it flows through any era gradually, especially now. Like most who have heard these songs 'Two Hangmen' gives a kick and yelp to those who haven't had enough from The Byrds or even sitting and getting blazed with 'You Finally Found Your Love', so beautiful and yet brings tears to my eyes like losing a love one. All the songs here express the agony of establishment and maybe that could perhaps be the reason it didn't get much airplay. I like it, I own it and well worth the money for purchase. Let your mind expand and feel free with 'Wanted', you'll appreciate it.

Great Music.......2006-10-31

Can be found as second half of "Come and Gone" if you want to pay the premium for the firts two albums on CD. Good music, meaningful again 40 years later (sadly) at any rate.

timeless recording.......2006-09-06

I first heard Mason Proffit in 1971 (Two Hangmen). I wore the record out over the years and after 30 plus years I still listen the them, (now on CD. Two Hangmen is timeless and still makes ya think.

country rock.......2006-07-18

Awesome incredable and on and on again but buy the double cd Come and Gone!!!!!! Best of the Best. It tells you something that you don't know or ever would have thought.

Long overdue, yet poorly reproduced.......2006-06-21

Mason Proffit deserves much more than a poorly engineered re-issue of a wonderfully diverse and groundbreaking long player. From a listener's point of view, it sounds as if Wounded Records simply took the tape used for pressing the record and transferred it to disc. As I said, not what the Talbot brothers deserve. After 4 hours of work, I was able to get the sound to a listenable level through Sony Sound Forge technology. Unfortunately, this should have been done by Wounded Records. At least now I can enjoy the richness of the music and message of Mason Proffit that Wounded Bird should have provided in the first place.

David Bromberg is due for rediscovery. As a '60s and '70s session man, he lent his blues skill to records by Dylan, Paxton and Jerry Jeff Walker. But none of that work suggested his talents as an arranger, his full command of diverse American genres, nor his husky, moving vocals. This '74 reissue is a fine place to start with Bromberg, and songs like "Send Me to the 'Lectric Chair" and his medly of "Statesboro Blues/Church Bells" serve notice of the talent of this overlooked, roots-music master. --Roy Francis Kasten

Great selection of solid tunes.......2006-11-06

I bought the vinyl version in the 70's purely based on the cover art. I laughed out loud. I wasn't dissapointed and was happy to get the cd version to add to my collection. David is quite a showman and he gathers some great help on this collection. George Harrison, Jerry Garcis, Phil Lesh, etc.
All the songs are great but Someone Else's Blues, Danger Man and Kansas City are knockouts. All other versions of Kansas City seem terribly tame after you hear this one. Statesboro Blues and Send Me to the Electric Chair showcase his amazing vocals. Good timing, good drama, good storytelling, good music.

great musician.......2006-06-22

I just recently replaced my vinyl copy with this cd. I saw him a couple of times in the 70's.

I read an article about him in Rolling Stone. He really impressed me. He said that when he practiced he tried very hard to play what he heard in his head, and to not accept the limitations of his guitar. Also, a girlfriend at the time told me that she had seen him at the Philly Folk Festival and that he was great Funny, talented, played EVERY kind of music masterfully.

If you are the kind of person who reads liner notes (and I am), you could see that he played on and produced many albums by a HUGE groups of artists back in the day. At one time he was one of the most respected musicians in the business.

As the reviewer says, he's due for a comeback. OVERDUE. Anyway, this was always one of my favorite albums, especially the "New Lee Highway Blues".

Saddle Up.......2005-10-04

This is the kind of album for which you can easily round up a party posse or enjoy on your own. Intelligent and well-crafted, the music will work for the critical or casual listener.
Never one to take himself or his material too seriously, Bromberg focuses his considerable skills on the service of his songs and their character, and his enjoyment is unrestrained and infectious.
Today, Bromberg is the owner of a violin shop, and his live performances are sadly limited. But this album, while basically a studio recording, captures the breezy Bromberg style, relaxed and inviting. But don't get too comfortable, because when you're kicked back and least expect it, he really will take all your money.

A towering album.......2004-02-23

If a picture is worth a thousand words, what's the value of a
musician's art that paints picture after picture. Bromberg is
a master of his art, and this album catches some of the feeling
of his live shows. You owe it to yourself to get this CD. Among
everything else, it's just a lot of fun.

Gary

Dead and Alive.......2002-08-09

Someone should point out the obvious pun in the title of this album. The second half is from a live acoustic show, while the first half was recorded in the studio backed by most of the members of the Grateful Dead. These were two separate album sides back in the dark ages of the pre-CD era. Features some of his best tunes, including a remake of the catchy pseudo-mariachi number he co-wrote with George Harrison, "The Hold-Up", which originally appeared on Bromberg's self-titled debut.

Great collection of country songs.......2005-07-06

Genre: Country (with pop/rock mixed in)

The compilation contains 15 country songs and an additional two songs in the form of music videos (actually different songs than on the plain audio section of the CD).

1. Artist: Mark Willis; Song: 19 Somethin'; From the Album: Greatest Hits (2002); Song Writers: Chris Dubois & Mark Willis; Review: "Saw Star Wars at least 8 times, had the Pac Man pattern memorized . . . I wouldn't trade those days for nothing" - Remembering the past, when he was a kid in 197-something, then brings it up to 198-something. Upbeat. Good song. Good strong voice. Vaguely heard of him, but do not own anything by him. Interested in looking for one of his albums. Willis, from Blue Ridge, GA, had his first album release in 1996. Won a country music contest at age 17 and played in a club for five straight years. Currently has five albums out, with a sixth one out in 2005 titled "Live at Billy Bob's" (this doesn't include 3 compilation albums). Highest on Country Billboard: 3 (with "Permanently"). Highest on Billboard 200: 23 (also with "Permanently"). Run Time: 3:17. Rating: 4.38.

2. Artist: Jennifer Hanson; Song: Beautiful Goodbye; From: Jennifer Hanson (2002), her first album; Song Writers: Hanson, Patton & Johnson; Review: "Like the most amazing sunset you've ever seen . . . Beautiful Goodbye . . . We really had us a time . . .standing here watching you drive away" - An oddly upbeat song about breaking up. Great opening. Never heard of her before, and I am quite surprised, quite good singer (distinctive voice). The song is a little repetitive though. Ends weakly. Born in 1974 La Habra CA. Has only the one album so far (interested in tracking it down). Debut album: 125 on Billboard 200 and 20 on Top Country Albums. Run Time: 3:25 Rating: 4.32.

3. Artist: Joe Nichols; Song: BrokenHeartsville; From: Man With a Memory (2002) his 2nd album; Song Writers: Boudreaux, Daniels, Kees & Mevis; Review: "He wore the cowboy hat to cover up his horns" - I own the album this song is on, so . . . I've liked this song in the past, but there is a part of the song that really drives one particular listener up the wall (something around the part of the song where "not against her will" is sung (the chorus, I believe)). Deep strong voice. Somewhat humorous song about a woman running off with another man. Own two albums by him, and thought I owned everything by him but there are apparently four more albums by him out there (not sure I'll track those down). From Rogers, AR. Highest on Country billboard: 3 ("Revelation"). Highest on Billboard 200: 23. Run Time: 3:49 Rating: 4.28.

4. Artist: Jo Dee Messina; Song: Burn; From: Burn (2000), her 3rd album; Song Writers: Tina Arena, Pam Reswick & Steve Werfel; Review: "Do you want to be a poet and write . . . I want you to burn for me" - Um, about a woman that wants someone to burn for her. Starts softly. Heard of her, seen videos, never owned anything by her. Good strong voice. Interesting, song begins to grow on me, though it is something of a fluff song. Song is about 1 minute too long. Not really interested in exploring her music further, at the moment. From Framingham, MA and born August 25, 1970. Currently she has five albums out (including one just released, I believe). Run Time: 4:30 Rating: 4.25.

5. Artist: Dwight Yoakam; Song: The Back of Your Hand; From: Population: Me (2003), his 15th album; Song Writers: Lee; Review: "When you give it up for God . . ." - Country/Religious song. I've heard of him, but never really listened to any of his songs. Good country sounding voice. Good music, not particularly my type of music though. Not interested in getting his albums (though might try a greatest hits cd; he has a rather large number of them). From Pikeville, KY and born October 23, 1956. 16 albums from 1986-2005 ("Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc." through "Blame the Vain"). Three number 1 albums on the country charts ("Guitars, Cadillacs. . .", "Hillbilly Deluxe", "Buenas Noches from a Lonely Room"). Highest Billboard 200: 25 ("This Time"). Run Time: 3:05; Rating: 4.23.

6. Artist: Chris Cagle; Song: What A Beautiful Day; From: Chris Cagle (2003) his 2nd album; Song Writers: Cagle & Powell; Review: "Day one, I stumbled through hello on fifth avenue . . ." - About growing in love. Interesting, starts off sounding like a Vanessa Carlton song. Rather good song. Not as deep voice as a Toby Keith or Joe Nichols. I believe I might already have all his albums (all 2 of them), so this song would not lead me to rush out to buy more (though I believe it was the first song of his I heard). Highest Billboard 200: 15 ("Chris Cagle"). Highest Country billboard ("Top Country Albums" chart): 1 ("Chris Cagle). Run Time: 3:40; Rating: 4.36.

7. Artist: Cross Canadian Ragweed; Song: 17; From: Cross Canadian Ragweed (AKA: The Purple Album; 2002), their fifth album; Song Writers: Cody Canada; Review: "sirens wail and a flashing light nothing better to do on a Tuesday night . . . Running from it all" - A song about being 17. This group is one that I've really never heard of, though they seem to be very good. Quite interested in pursuing more of their music. Has a more rock feel to it, than country. Formed 1994 in Stillwater OK. Band name comes from member names (guitarist Cross, lead singer (and guitarist) Canada, and drummer Ragsdale; not sure how bassist Plato fits in). This alt-country band has seven albums out there (2001-2004; 2 released in 2001, 3 in 2002, and 2 in 2004). Highest on Country chart: 5 ("Soul Gravy"). Highest on Billboard 200: 51 ("Soul Gravy"). Run Time: 5:18; Rating: 4.35.

8. Artist: Rhonda Vincent; Song: You Can't Take It With You When You Go; From: One Step Ahead (2003), her 9th album; Song Writers: Knight & Wright; Review: "Watch where you are standing when you close that door . . ." - slow sound, soft instruments, about a man about to leave and a woman asking him to think about it. I think I've heard of her. She has a voice somewhat similar to Alison Krauss's. Good lyrics, good music, not my type of song. Not likely to explore further (though better on repeated hearings). This Kirksville Missouri born singer was born in July 1962. She currently has 10 albums out there for consumption (1990-2005). Never on the Billboard 200, and her highest ranked album reached #30 on the Top Country Albums chart ("One Step Ahead"). Run Time: 3:30; Rating: 4.17.

9. Artist: Trace Adkins; Song: Chrome; From: Chrome (2001), his fourth album; Song Writers: Smith & Steele; Review: "Her favorite color is Chrome" - good upbeat song. Don't own all his albums, but I own this one and really like him. Good deep, strong voice. Sarepta Louisiana native Adkins was born on January 13, 1962. He currently has six albums out there (not counting greatest hits and the like). His albums have reached a height of #9 on the Billboard 200 ("Greatest Hits"), and #1 on the Top Country Albums chart ("Greatest Hits" and "Songs about Me"). Run Time: 3:22; Rating: 4.35.

10. Artist: Montgomery Gentry; Song: Cold One Comin' On; From: Carrying On (2001), their 2nd album; Song Writers: Geiger, Mullis & Huffman; Review: "Weather man says it might hit 95, September is going to feel more like July, he's calling for a night that's warm and mild, but I think he missed it by a mile, he just don't know that you are gone, I feel a cold one coming on" - man getting over a recent break-up. Really good duo, though sometimes I think they might sound better separately. Heavy use of guitars. Long instrumental breaks (adds at least a minute to the song). Waiting for their next, sixth album. Highest on the Top Country Albums chart: 2nd ("You Do Your Thing"). Highest on Billboard 200: 10th ("You Do Your Thing"). Run Time: 5:03. Rating: 4.40.

11. Artist: Alison Krauss; Song: Maybe; From: Forget About It (1999), her 8th album; Song Writers: Kennedy & Madeira; Review: "Lying above the rest...." - I don't know what the song is about. Soft song. Something about the voice is irritating, maybe because it is mostly good, and then she reach, and it becomes fingers on chalkboard time. Rather good instrument work.. Might borrow one of her albums . . . From Champaign Illinois (home of the University of Illinois), Krauss was born on July 23, 1971 and has released 11 albums (1985-2004). Highest on the Top Country Albums chart: 2nd ("Now that I've Found You: A Collection"). Highest on Billboard 200: 13 ("Now that I've Found You: A Collection"). Run Time: 3:41; Rating: 4.22.

12. Artist: Dierks Bentley; Song: What Was I Thinkin' From: Dierks Bently (2003); Song Writers: Ruttan, Beavers & Bentley; Review: "Becky was a beauty from south Alabama . . . What was I thinking . . . thinking about a little white tank top sitting right there next to me . . ." - man picks up woman drives away, dad runs out with a shotgun and unloads it at them as they drive away. Strong song. Great voice. I own this Phoenix Arizona native's first album, looking to purchase his next ("Modern Day Drifter" - 2005). Reached number 4 on the Top Country chart, and number 26 on the Billboard 200 chart for his first album. Run Time: 3:44; Rating: 4.48.

13. Artist: LeAnn Rimes; Song: I Need You; From: I Need You (2000); Song Writers: Matkosky & Lacy; Review: "da da da . . . I don't need a lot of things, I can get by with nothing . .." - just like the title notes, the song is about a woman that all that she needs is you. The thirteen year-old "next Patsy Cline" has all grown up now (she's 23 in two months). Good singer, but heavy feeling song, over-pressured by instruments. I own greatest hits and most recent release (mentioning things like this to let you know if previously biased for or against a singer). Has released nine albums (not counting greatest hits and other compilations). Reached number one on the Top Country Albums chart with her first and second releases, and has added two more number one Top Country Albums. Her first album reached number 3 on the Billboard 200, and the second album reached number one (she has had one more number one album for the Billboard 200). Run Time: 3:45; Rating: 4.14.

14. Artist: Keith Urban; Song: Raining on Sunday; From: Golden Road (2002); Song Writers: Brown & Foster; Review: "It ticks just like a Timex, it never lets up on you . . ." - Nice instrument work.(somewhat the best part of the song; mix of country and rock). Good voice, not particularly deep. Not sure I'll pursue the New Zealander's work. He was born October 26, 1967. Six albums released. Heights: number one on Top Country Albums chart and number three on the Billboard 200 chart (both for the "Be Here" album). Run Time: 3:41; Rating: 4.24.

15. Artist: Rascal Flatts; Song: I'm Movin' On; From: Rascal Flatts (2000); Song Writers: White & Williams; Review: "I've been trapped in the past too long . . I'm moving on" - um, a guy moving on. Nice opening instruments (then, gee, is that a man or a woman singing . . .). Own one album by this group, not bad, not going rush out for more of their work. Cousins Gary Levox and Jay DeMarcus, of Columbus Ohio, and non-relative Joe Don Rooney of Picher Oklahoma form the band that has currently released three albums. The most recent two albums have reached number one ranking on the Top Country Albums chart, and the most recent album has reached number one on the Billboard 200 chart. Run Time: 3:48; Rating: 4.18.

Overall Run Time: roughly 51 minutes

Songs: Overall, I ended up with an average of 4.29 stars.

Videos: Unfortunately, I could not get the videos to work.

CD Packaging: Contains name of song, which album the song is pulled from, the name of the songwriters, and the copyright date. No lyrics are provided.

Overall: Not a bad song in the bunch, though I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to some of the singers/groups. I like many different styles, and these songs are different enough that it is somewhat enjoyable to listen to as a regular selection in the play cycle (single artist album sometimes suffer because they just have the one artist, and while each song might or might not be good on its own, placed together they can become rather repetitive). So, I'd rate the CD/album/compilation 4.29 stars.

Great Artists!.......2003-12-19

I love the combonation of artists on this CD and I can't wait to listen to it! I am a new found country listener and I love Dirks Bently!!!

Music worth it, but the "Enhanced" features AREN'T.......2003-10-22

I saw the special for this CD on CMT. Even though I already have most of the songs on the CD, I wanted the enhanced videos so I decided to buy it. In small print on the back of the CD it says that the enhanced features won't work on some computers, but I took the chance anyway. Well I've now tried this CD on several different makes/models and haven't gotten the enhanced features to work YET!

Product Description

Marley Marl remained on board, and Large Professor and Eric B. also hopped on to help produce Kool G Rap & DJ Polo's second album. With a wider range of sounds and the expansion of G Rap's lyrical range, "Wanted: Dead or Alive" is wholly deserving of classic status. The opening "Streets of New York" remains one of the most thrilling and unique rap singles released; the sparse rhythm, adorned with assured piano runs that complement the song to the point of almost making the song, falls somewhere between a gallop and a strut, and G Rap outlines more vivid scenes than one film could possibly contain. The track cemented their role as East Coast legends and showed Kool G Rap's talent as an adept storyteller like nothing before or since. Likewise, "Talk Like Sex" is the nastiest, raunchiest thing he ever recorded, with "I m pounding you down until your eyeballs pop out" acting as an exemplary claim, as well as one of the few that is printable, made in the song. The boasts, as ever, are in no short supply, but "Erase Racism" takes a break from the normal proceedings with guest spots from Big Daddy Kane and Biz Markie. It's both funny and sobering, with Biz's Three Dog Night chorus providing comic relief after each verse. This album is only part of a major swarm of brilliant rap records from 1990, but it will never be lost in it, and it's important because it's the release that influenced Rakim and Kane to step their game up to levels they didn't know they could go to. Cold Chillin' and Traffic proudly present "Wanted: Dead or Alive", available for the first time as a double disc set, including the original album, and a plethora of substantial bonus material, from artwork to audio. With all the songs being digitally re-mastered, this project has been thought out, done right and handled with care, and we hope you enjoy it.
