All right, we know the Crowes are going to sound like the Stones, and by no means is this an insult. The question is, what era of Stones--the assured bluster and raunchy groove of Exile on Main Street or, gasp, the going-through-the-motions of Steel Wheels? Thankfully, their first studio effort in two and a half years tends mostly toward the former. The Robinson boys have actually managed to magnify both their gritty Southern soul (with funky keyboards and vibrant background chants) and their heavy-hitting majesty (with screeching guitar and thumping percussion) simultaneously--and there's still room for some appealing hooks. That's not to say that their songwriting has improved or that their musical vision has broadened considerably; innovation has never been their strong point anyway. At worst, By Your Side is still a big improvement over 1996's often listless Three Snakes and a Charm; at best, it's living proof that the classic Stones swagger--refracted through the Crowes' mounting years of experience--still holds significant sway. Being called the "Stones of the 1990s" is still a compliment (albeit a left-handed one), and at this point they do the Stones a damn sight better than the Stones themselves. --Marc Greilsamer

A companion to the fabulous PBS series, the 21-song, 77-minute The Best of "Broadway: The American Musical" provides about as good a single-disc compilation as anyone could hope for. (There's also a five-CD version.) What sets it apart from so many other "best of Broadway" collections is its breadth--because it had access to a variety of record-label vaults it doesn't have to try to disguise gaps by using revivals or solo recordings. Here you get all the authentic stuff, including: Paul Robeson singing "Ol' Man River" from the first modern American musical, Show Boat; Ethel Merman singing "You're the Top"; the title song from Oklahoma!; Julie Andrews singing "I Could Have Danced All Night" from My Fair Lady; West Side Story's "America"; Betty Buckley singing "Memory" from Cats; Hairspray's "Good Morning Baltimore"; and "Defying Gravity" from Wicked, the newest show discussed in the PBS series. And it's hard to argue with the songwriters represented: Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Frank Loesser, Lerner and Loewe, Leonard Bernstein, Bock and Harnick, Kander and Ebb, Stephen Sondheim, and Andrew Lloyd Webber, among others. Obviously, no single-disc compilation could ever please everyone (did we really need two ALW songs?), but as a sampler intended for people who watched the series and want to hear more of the Great White Way, The Best of "Broadway: The American Musical" can't be topped. --David Horiuchi

Customer Reviews:

Some interesting choices, indeed.......2006-03-02

This is a pretty good compilation, but I have to wonder at some of the choices that went into it.
"Good Morning Baltimore" is almost the least impressive song from Hairspray. "You Can't Stop the Beat" was a much more anthemic song from that show.
I agree that it's too bad Les Mis didn't make it in. I would have traded that for anything Sondheim, although that's a personal preference :) .
Still, the opportunity to hear the original performers and orchestras perform these works, all in one place, is a great deal.

Great CD.......2005-11-01

This one plays in the car, on the ipod and in the house. When the kids were little they would ask if we could take them to "The Street". That is what they called Broadway (little did they know at that time how famous that street is). They still love it and we can not get enough of it. This CD covers the best and makes you want to go and see a live performance. You can not beat that.

Great selections, but bad transfers.......2005-07-27

This is a great taste of broadway. If you enjoyed the B'Way series at all, then you will probably enjoy this CD. My problem with it is that some of the songs sound like they were not remastered at all- the transfer to CD is terrible. The orchestrations in "You're the top" by Ethel Merman are muffled, and the song sounds like it was taken straight from an old record and slapped onto the CD without fixing it up. It doesn't sound very clear, which is a bit upsetting and annoying. Maybe this is just because that particular recording is older than some of the songs chosen to be on this CD. The more modern songs sound crisp and new and beautiful. "Swanee" is also very low quality as if it were just taken off of a record and put on the CD without any restoration. I just feel that these songs deserved better treatment and that we as customers deserve better treatment. Decca could have restored these songs and made them sound really good, but they decided just to slap them on the CD without touching them up.

I am surprised that nothing was chosen to be on this recording from Les Miserables since it had been on Broadway for 16 years and its tour is running until 2006. There were selections from Cats, Phantom of the Opera and Wicked, so I am not sure why nothing was chosen from Les Miserables.

Other than these few nit pickings, I think that this is a great introduction to musicals. It gives a little taste across the spectrum. Try getting the cast recordings of the songs that you really like on this collection. It's worth buying if you're a huge broadway fan.

Yes this is Some of the Best of Broadway!.......2005-04-08

This CD from Decca Broadway is a wonderful selection of some of

the "Greatest Hits" of the Broadway stage. Decca and Sony have

done an excellent job of remastering the various recordings, some

of which still show some of their age, but come across quite

well. Are there a lot of songs that I would have put on this

disc? Yes, but the ones on here are good choices. I may have to

get a copy of the Five disc set and the DVD's just to see if any

more of my favorites made it on the list. What this disc seems to

try to do is show the evolution of the Broadway song from it's

early days to the present. It succeeds quite well I think.

If you enjoy Broadway theater this CD is a must!

The music of Broadway comes alive.......2004-10-07

I loved listening to this CD. The music from Broadway's best loved musicals are on this album. I recogized most of these songs, even though I've only seen a few of them on the local stage. I have so many favorites on this CD. It is hard to pick one. I'm a big fan of Barbara Streisand. I loved her performance of People from Funny Girl. Memory is the hit song from the musical Cats. Betty Buckley's performance of this song is so emotional and sincere.

I loved the song Annie. It is a wonderfully optimistic song performed by the original Annie Andrea McArdle. Another highlight for me is the song One performed by the cast of a Chorus Line. Luck Be A Lady Tonight is another of my favorite broadway songs on this CD from Guys and Dolls. The music of the night is a beautiful song by Michael Crawford from Phantom of the Opera. Richard Kiley has such a strong and powerful voice. He sounds so inspirational singing The Impossible Dream from Man from La Mancha. My dream is to see some musicals on Broadway someday and listen to these songs performed live.

I'm surprised that there isn't any music from Miss Saigon or Jesus Christ Superstar included here. I think they are classic musicals with great songs Maybe they will appear on a future compilation from PBS.

Fabulous for any Broadway-lover.......2007-01-30

Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.

Top Shelf.......2007-01-04

This is THE definitive collection of Broadway hits. I have other collections, and none of them measure up. A great deal of care was obviously taken in compiling and presenting this box set. It covers a lot of ground, starting with some long-forgotten but still very enjoyable hits from the days of yore, and finishing with present-day favorites. To the best of my knowledge, the recordings are by those who made them famous. You won't be disappointed.

TERRIFIC CD'S.......2006-03-23

THESE BROADWAY MUSICALS CD'S ARE A BROADWAY LOVERS DREAM. WITH EACH SONG, MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK. BOTH THE FAMILIAR AND THE FORGOTTEN SONGS ARE A TRUE LISTENING PLEASURE. IF YOU LIKE BROADWAY, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET.

Great Collection of Broadways greatest Songs .......2005-06-14

This Collection was perfectly made it has almost all the most famous Broadway songs on this 5 cd set. The Music is great and has Broadways greatest treasures like "Memory""People""With One Look""Give my regards Too Broadway" just to name a few of this numerous cd set with over 100 songs. This is a great buy if you like musicals or The music of Broadway

Great Compilation!.......2005-01-17

If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

Beautiful!.......2007-04-24

I've owned this CD for several years now, and it definitely remains on my short, short list of favorites! The music is beautiful and contemplative, drawing the listener into the journey of migration undertaken by the birds who inspired it. Everything is amazing on it: the writing, the instrumentation, the vocals. This albumn is definitely not just for fans of the movie, but for anyone who loves slow, calming, thoughtful music.

Winged Migration CD.......2007-02-08

Awesome, for the most part- best after watching the documentary. A couple of songs had to skip through, but the rest is a good post movie mental review- watch the movie first...

Beautiful Soundtrack.......2007-01-06

I loved this movie and the soundtrack makes it ever better. I havent bought a CD in a while and this one is reasonably priced and rare.

WINGED MIGRATION.......2006-08-29

The movie is excellent. The scenery is breathtaking, but you actually feel like you are flying with the geese. Geese are amazing birds. A must see.

THE RIGHT MUSIC FOR THE RIGHT MOVIE.......2006-06-22

Even if you haven't seen the beautiful french documentary, you'll love this soundtrack. The score captivates listeners from the very beginning and the song "To Be By Your Side" by Nick Cave gives the very special mood that the movie requires. Bruno Coulais is the same composer from HIMALAYA, thus you may understand better the sort of music you're listening: half ethnic, half new age and totally haunting. Don't miss it.

Sade Neptunes remix.......2007-06-08

I bought this CD for the Neptunes remix of this song. There is a reason why the Neptunes are among the hottest producers right now. I love everything Sade. So I had to get this. Listen to it. It's hot.

Sade Is NOT By My Side With This Crappy Song.......2006-01-14

I'm a big fan of Sade and I don't expect anything but the best from her. Unfortunately, she has fallen short and "By Your Side" has to be her worse single ever. It's not jazzy, it's not groovy, and there is no bass. Who the heck wants to hear a twangy guitar? Skip this lousy song.

By Your Side..........2004-04-01

''By Your Side'' is really the only song I like by Sade, her other work is rather too much for my tastes. Nevertheless, it is one of the most flawless song's I've ever heard, with lyrics like ''You think I'd leave you down, when you're down on your knees'' (OK- this song has the same concept in mind as Shania Twain's ''From This Moment'' both songs are beautiful). It's not one of these depressing late night songs, it however the opposite, it's beautiful, with a voice that is so sedative and pleasing.

The first time I heard this song playing, was when I was watching one of the ''Sex And The City'' episodes, and this song came on during one of the scenes, well I flew up from my chair, the song was so overwhelming, that the following week I had rushed out to the music store, and got myself the CD single.

Look...I am a fan of remixes, I have had allot of experiences with remixes and the ones included here are however nothing special. The CD features Neptune (who has also done a standard quantity of promo work for Alicia Keys and Madonna), he never really changes a song, all his mixes are just enhancements, with a few beats thrown in, hardly anything else is done, he makes a mix that would easily be considered as a (Edit).

The (Yard Mix) is however the weakest here, It's rather like R&B verses Trip-Hop <---Something bland and fake sounding.

The (Reggae Mix) is average...I don't really think this mix was a good idea, it's supposed to sound like reggae, whatever the hell they call it-----ehhhhh not so good.

I also do not understand something else. The cool remix that plays on the radio is not included here!!?....Ben Watt (From Everything But The Girl) made a real cool mix for this song, and (apparently) it is not commercial and was only a radio promo....Well to hell with that!.

The album version, is the best on this CD. This is the kind of song like (Madonna's ''Power Of Goodbye'') that is not for remixing, and not for the clubs or enhancements.

The only reason I'm giving this album 5 stars is for the (album version). Whoever decided to single out Ben Watt's remix- made a grave mistake, shame on you!.

Come on, I'm not dead yet!.......2003-08-14

Sadly, Sade's music has slowed to the point of death. This song may have nice lyrics, but I'm a fan of mid-80's Sade, not rest-home Sade. The re-mixes on this CD are tired, mechanical, even laughable. However, the Ben Watt remix is *sterling* (if only it could be found on this disc)! Ben gives the song energy; combined with the great lyrics, you have a meaty song worth your money. Don't waste it on this disc.

Exquisite!!!!.......2003-03-29

Having always been a fan of Sade's, I never thought that I could love her music even more. Then I heard the single "By Your Side." This song is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. The lyrics and Sade's voice evoke such strong emotions that you can literally feel the words. The music is also very ethereal and whimsical. I love everything about this song! This is one song you don't want to miss out on! Buy this single!

outside of Go Faster, Horsehead and Virtue & Vice - there isn't much to praise on this half-hearted attempt to sell records again. after the drugged out brilliance of Southern Harmony..., Amorica and Three Snakes... - this is nothing more than an upbeat regression to Shake Your Money Maker, only not nearly as good...

THE BEST BLACK CROWES STUDIO ALBUM EVER TO DATE........2007-03-13

I will be writing a review on the legendary masterpiece album entitled "BY YOUR SIDE" by one of Rock's greatest legendary bands and one of America's favorite sons. I give you one of Georgia's pride and joy's to have risen up the south one more time, T-H-E B-L-A-C-K C-R-O-W-E-S. "BY YOUR SIDE" was originally released in 1998 on Compact Disc on the American Recordings Records label which is manufactured and marketed by the Island Def Jam Music Group and distributed by Universal Music & Video Distribution Corp. As always, If I hear any new additional information concerning this legendary album or the artist, I will edit this review immediately so that you the consumer will get the best informative and most accurate review possible.

THE BLACK CROWES have been continuing to burn hot on fire since they released their most recent album "THREE SNAKES AND ONE CHARM" in 1996. With their legendary performances before full houses due to their constant sell out concerts and diehard fans, the band was definitely enjoying the fruits to its fullest excesses and living the Rock n' Roll lifestyle to its fullest potential. All was well in THE BLACK CROWES world and was only appropriate and another good time for the band to head back into the recording studio and record another great follow-up album to the successful "THREE SNAKES AND ONE CHARM" album. After some time flew by, THE BLACK CROWES would emerge and evolve from the recording studio with a completed album and hand it in to their American Recordings Records label. The finished product would be released as the "BY YOUR SIDE" album from 1998. In my opinion, "BY YOUR SIDE" is their best studio album to date. This album truly kicks a*s. This legendary album is a true testament of the greatness and musical creativity of two brothers and a fine fitting tribute to a great band that is getting to the point where they are truly ahead of their time. This is THE BLACK CROWES at their absolute best people.

Enough of what I'm saying, its now time to let the music speak for itself and do all of the talking. This legendary album begins with the fast paced Rocker "Go Faster," the kick a*s Rocker "Kickin' My Heart Around," the incredible good beated Rocker "By Your Side," the breathtaking and daring Rocker "HorseHead," the slow and beautiful Rocker "Only A Fool," the groundbreaking a*s kickin' Rocker "Heavy," the Christmas sounding Rod Stewart sounding slow smooth Rocker "Welcome To The Goodtimes," the blistering a*s kickin' Rocker "Go Tell The Congregation," the slow soothing Rocker "Diamond Ring," the loud and amazing Rocker "Then She Said My Name" and beautiful slow Rocker "Virtue And Vice." May I add and commend the band on a a*s kicking job well done. What can I say about Chris Robinson besides the fact that he kicked a*s on lead vocals. His blistering lead vocals are legendary on this album. Lets not forget the blistering and merciless guitar licks and riffs from Chris' brother Rich. He kicked a*s as well.

Overall, this is one hell of an album worth seeking further into and checking out whether you are a newcomer or a new beginner to the sound and music of THE BLACK CROWES or a devout BLACK CROWES collector or diehard. Either way, you will enjoy this album. Buy it.

I would like to highly recommend purchasing this legendary album to own as a valuable and important part of his or her own personal music collection. This legendary album will definitely prove to stand the test of time and will always be around to be enjoyed, appreciated and cherished for many years to come, NOW AND FOREVER. THIS IS ONE HELL OF AN ALBUM THAT NO DEVOUT BLACK CROWES COLLECTOR OR DIEHARD WOULD WANT TO BE WITHOUT.

In closing, THE BLACK CROWES HAVE REALLY DONE IT THIS TIME AND OVER DID IT IN THE PROCESS. This album is definitely their best studio album to date. Who would have believed that THE BLACK CROWES would have come out of left field and blow everybody away with the "BY YOUR SIDE" album. This is one Rockin' album. I feel sorry for the next follow-up album, "BY YOUR SIDE" is going to be extremely hard to top. With that in mind, there will be new stories and tales in THE BLACK CROWES legend and lagacy that will still need to be conquered, told and written in new pages and chapters in their glorious storied career. But that, my fellow readers and reviewers, you will just have to stay tuned and read further about it at a later date. So here's to you Chris, Rich, Steve, Eddie and Sven. Thanks for the great memories and still more to come. I'm still waiting for your new album to come out and be released this year in 2007, I CAN'T WAIT GUYS. And as the saying goes, "AND THE REST IS ROCK N' ROLL HISTORY," need I say more? Thanks for reading my review and I hope that you enjoyed reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it for your reading pleasure. I also hope that you will read all of my other reviews in the near future when time permits. THE BLACK CROWES RULES. Long Live Rock n' Roll. Rock out always and take it easy. Forever In Rock, John L.

Another GREAT CD by the BLACK CROWES!!!.......2005-07-20

This CD is filled with great tracks. As soon as I listened to it for the very first time, I couldn't put it away. I need to listen to it more and more. This CD really grows on you. The open tracks are just AWESOME: "Kickin' My Heart Around, By Your Side, HorseHead, Only A Fool and Heavy". This CD also has my favorite Black Crowes song of all time... "Virtue And Vice". If you have not heard this song... well? What have you been listening to??? This CD is pure Rock 'N' Roll with alot of Soul!! Get it today... Don't wait... BUY IT NOW!!!

Rock and Roll on your side........2005-06-03

Band lineup changes and whether or not this was a blatant attempt at record sales aside, By Your Side is a logical attempt at correcting minor flaws on their preceeding album, Three Snakes and One Charm. Despite being a very good album, Three Snakes was slightly lacking in catchy hooks, so Rich Robinson wrote this collection of songs filled with loud, energetic guitar hooks.

In accordance with the upbeat songs, singer Chris Robinson, sounding great, adds more uplifting lyrics than usual. Great songs such as the title track and closer Virtue and Vice have a positive outlook. Though the songs are consistently good, there is a feeling of sameness however as so many of the songs contain a fast beat with a loud, almost thumping snare drum. So, though it may not have the depth of earlier albums, By Your Side is a rock and roll record that's overflowing with muscle and energy and there's nothing wrong with that.

Pretty good album, hideous production.......2004-10-23

I am amazed at the reviews that I've read here. One star, five stars, and very few in between.

Well, "By Your Side" is not a five-star album (unless you really want it to be), and it certainly isn't a one-star album either (unless you really, really want it to be). It is a decent rock n' roll record...not as good as the Crowes' first two records, but good enough to warrant a listen.
But the production is lousy. A noisy, discordant rhythm guitar with LOTS of overdrive keeps droning mindlessly away, threatening to drown out everything else, and resulting in a dense, muddled sound which makes almost every song sound the same. What a difference from the excellent, lean production on "$hake Your Moneymaker".

Most of the songs are okay, though, particularly the title track, "Kickin' My Heart Around", and the loose-limbed groove of "Only A Fool".
I liked the Crowes' first two albums a lot, particularly "$hake Your Moneymaker", and compared to those two, "By Your Side" is a disappointment. But there are enough good moments here for three stars (or maybe 2 3/4).
Mostly for dedicated Crowes fans, though. And what is with that production?! This isn't Nirvana!

Amazon.com's Best of 2001

Barbara Cook is one of today's most accomplished song stylists, and if you don't believe us, just listen to this live album. It's a master class in the art of singing. It documents an evening at Carnegie Hall during which Cook proved that she can dissect and extract the substance out of the simplest of lyrics. One of the best surprises is "You Could Drive a Person Crazy" (from Company), which is taken at an amiable trot and allows the singer to display its humor. Cook is not a swinging singer and uptempo is not her pace; give her a ballad, though, and she'll wring the last drop of emotion out of it. Her version of "Losing My Mind" (here paired with "Not a Day Goes By") is simply astonishing. The singer also performs songs that Sondheim has said he wished he had written, an awful lot of them by Harold Arlen. No complaints here. Guest Malcolm Gets solos on a few songs and duets with Cook on others, including "Let's Face the Music and Dance." This is classic material done masterfully by a classic singer. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Wow!.......2004-02-20

Having read the other reviews there is little more for me to add. I have been a Barbara Cook fan for a longtime and for me, this is one of her best concerts ever. I do, however, prefer the DVD. As with some other reviewers, I do not want to hear Malcolm Gets (as much as I like him) when I want to listen to Barbara. Her flawless interpretation of music is a hard act to follow for any singer! I managed to see this concert 4 times over a year and a half. Each time I saw her the voice was stronger and more assured (I would not have thought that possible). I can't help but think we will have the pleasure of hearing Ms Cook for many years to come. For those people who enjoyed his CD I strongly recommend purchasing the DVD. Barabara's rendition of So Many People is breathtaking (literally, I don't think I breathed once during the entire song). If you ever have opportunity to see her live - go! She has an ability to make you feel as if every song she sings and every word she speaks is directed to you alone. She can take a large venue and make it feel as intimate as your own living room. Having had the pleasure of meeting her I can say she is as youthful and pleasurable in person as she is in her performance.

Everyone Should Whistle.......2003-10-11

After being privileged to attend this concert, I had to own the CD. Once a lyric coloratura and the original Cunegonde in Bernstein's Candide, Ms. Cook has become (in her 70s) a true diva, blessed with a velvety, warm sound. Every note has meaning. Her high B-flat on "Ice Cream" is still the envy of any soprano today. Everyone should whistle after hearing the superb performances on this CD. Even better, though, is the experience of having been in the concert hall for the live performance. Brava, Ms. Cook!

An amazing intro to the body of work of a true master.......2003-06-16

When I first bought tickets for the 'Mostly Sondheim' show on tour (in San Francisco) I figured it couldn't be too bad. Besides, I had only been exposed to a few of his songs (Anyone Can Whistle, Losing My Mind...) and had only seen "A Little Night Music". On the way out of the theater I immediately picked up this recording of the program. It is truly amazing. I immediately began listening to it and have barely put it down in the last few months. Furthermore, my Sondheim CD collection increased in size from an unflattering zero to five (and it's still growing)! This is an amazing introduction to the works of Stephen Sondheim, who is now my favorite modern musical composer). Buy this now if you don't already have it!

Beautiful, moving concert.......2003-04-13

This is a wonderful CD set with a great selection of songs. I do want to express a slight reservation, however. Barbara Cook has been one of my favorite singers for a number of years and the way her voice defies time is extraordinary -- for her to be singing with such bright, beautiful tone in her mid-70s with no wobble or beat in the voice is an amazing achievment.

I do have to say that by 2001, when this concert was recorded, Cook seemed to have a lost a little bit of power and intensity in her singing. This is only natural for someone of her age. Her voice is still lovely, but you can sense her keeping it in reserve a bit. She's as expressive as ever, but compare the rendition of "I got lost in his arms" on this album to the one on her previous album recorded in 1999, "The Champion Season", and there's less urgency and vocal depth in her singing here. That said, the high B at the end of "Ice Cream" is sensational.

So, despite that caveat, this is, again, a wonderful album, a must for Cook fans, especially for the gorgeous renditions of songs I'd never thought I'd get to hear her perform: "Not a Day Goes By", "Happiness/Loving You", "San Francisco", etc. Buy it!

... and I love Barbara Cook.......2003-02-11

This recording is a disappointment for me. It is not her best work, and Malcolm Gets is uninspired. My biggest complaint however is the engineering of the recording. Throughout the speaking was to soft, the singing volumes uneven, and the applause deafening. I will be passing this CD on to friends, and will later donate it to my local library.

More does not necessarily mean better.......2005-09-21

This recording sounds less like the Boston Pops and more like 101 Strings. (That's not a compliment.) In fact, I know there are better performances of each one out there. These are actually all pleasant, familiar pieces which I like. I'm not at all sure they should all be on the same album. If you want background music while you're reading, or making love, this is perfect. If you're driving late at night and trying to stay awake, not so good! In short, the sum is less than the total of its parts. But I'm giving it a 3, because I do like most of the individual pieces, and I never give more than 4.

Based on Somerset Maugham's middling novel Theater, Annette Bening stars as the title character, an aging star of the London stage whose life and the melodramas she performs have come to mirror each other. Composer Mychael Danna sets those conflicts to a score that emphasizes theatrical surfaces and rigid role-playing, utilizing a finely honed classical pastiche approach with parallels to his previous period-evoking work on Vanity Fair. His cues here are rooted in the light romantic chamber music of the 19th century, though they frequently bristle with a more contemporary energy and aplomb. Offering counterpoint to Danna's dignified, oft-precious classical confections and mining the story's more sensual human dimensions are pop chestnuts from the era (The Andrews Sisters' saucy "Bei Mir Bist Du Schon" and Mills Brothers' jaunty "Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries"), as well as fine contemporary takes of "They Didn't Believe Me" and Noel Coward's "Mad About the Boy" by Denzel Sinclair and Alison Jicar's elegant read of "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes." --Jerry McCulley

Beautiful melody but lacks variety.......2005-04-11

Being Julia OST has a beautiful main melody which occurs over and over again throughout the tracks. I especially like "Curtain Up" and "Quite Alone". However, Being Julia OST doesn't have other strong melody to show along side with the main melody which seems a little too simple for a complete album. The movie is great too. Annette Bening's performance is outstanding.

All right, we know the Crowes are going to sound like the Stones, and by no means is this an insult. The question is, what era of Stones--the assured bluster and raunchy groove of Exile on Main Street or, gasp, the going-through-the-motions of Steel Wheels? Thankfully, their first studio effort in two and a half years tends mostly toward the former. The Robinson boys have actually managed to magnify both their gritty Southern soul (with funky keyboards and vibrant background chants) and their heavy-hitting majesty (with screeching guitar and thumping percussion) simultaneously--and there's still room for some appealing hooks. That's not to say that their songwriting has improved or that their musical vision has broadened considerably; innovation has never been their strong point anyway. At worst, By Your Side is still a big improvement over 1996's often listless Three Snakes and a Charm; at best, it's living proof that the classic Stones swagger--refracted through the Crowes' mounting years of experience--still holds significant sway. Being called the "Stones of the 1990s" is still a compliment (albeit a left-handed one), and at this point they do the Stones a damn sight better than the Stones themselves. --Marc Greilsamer

This is by far the best, most consistent album the Black Crowes ever did. The band plays as if it put down the dope for once and just rocked and played like it's very existence depended upon it. I laughed at the one bad review on this site. It looks as though Marc Ford wrote it himself. Nice try, Marc!

This is the worst Crowes album. Where's Marc Ford?.......2002-05-10

Well, all Crowes fans and even casual music fans should know who Marc Ford is by now. Look into The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion album, Amorica and Three Snakes and One Charm and you will see why this album is such a poor, half-hearted record from one of the best bands of the last decade. This album is missing Ford's fluid guitar playing and ability to hit a note at the right time, or just keep the groove going with rhythm player Rich Robinson. If you already have the first album, Shake Your Moneymaker and you don't have any of the ones mentioned above, do not waste your time with this weak effort. This band's best work stretched from 1992-1997 and it's a shame they threw it all away. Even Chris Robinson's vocals are really suffering. Rich Robinson thinke he can play rhythm and lead parts by himself, thinking no one would notice Marc Ford's legendary thumbprint on the Crowes' legacy. Big mistake Chris and Rich. Apologize to Marc and allow him to contribute to your band!

Good rock n' roll.......2002-04-16

For starters, The Crowes are an amazing rock n' roll band. Their music is more than welcome considering the severe absence of good rock n' roll these days. As far as By Your Side goes, most people's biggest criticism is that it is too polished. My response to this is that it is important to understand that once a band has been together for as long as these guys have, they naturally get tighter. I don't think this should be mistaken for over-production or anything. And, personally I would not prefer a recording to be sloppy simply so I can say without a doubt that I haven't bought some nice, neat, corporate package. I'd rather trust the musicians. The songcraft on this album is great. The melodies are strong and are not a mere regurgitation of anything else. The guitars are superb and well-driven. Additionally, there are alot of classic Crowe-isms, keeping an identifiable element of consistency with their other records. Also, you can listen to this album the whole way through; every song is awesome. This album rocks, pure and simple, and is a must have.

Still Kickin.......2002-02-27

Sometimes I wish Chris would just be quiet and let his brother play longer; that guitar is so southern, so gritty and so sweet. Don't let the nay-sayers on here sway you. "By Your Side" is too delicious to miss, right down to its classic cover.
