A Different Sound, but Outstanding!.......2005-09-01

I was never really a die-hard Grateful Dead fan, though I appreciated their zest and their better-known tunes. But late one night back when AOR was still alive (circa 1979), this amazing song came on the FM radio. I was floored--it was incredibly well done, great arrangement and musicianship, wonderful musical textures, flavorful, highly melodic. WOW! Here was rock & roll that was highly musical, tasty, lots of depth. The DJ said it was Bob Weir, a guitarist for the Dead. I didn't know BW from Adam, but in any case, bought the album (vinyl LP). This album shows true range, great textures, VERY strong compositionallly (not your standard r&r), and if you like the classic Hammond sound when used in rock correctly (narly one moment, transcendant the next), you will especially love it here. And Bob's soloing is first-rate, strong in quality, musical. Lyrics are pretty good too. I have the original LP and was searching Amazon on a lark to see if this album was even available on CD, doubting, and was stoked to find it is. I'm not a real expert on the Dead, but if you like them, and appreciate their musical range, I would guess you'll like this. BUT THIS I GUARANTEE: If you're well beyond the typical crap on the radio and truly dug the days of real AOR FM--like, back in the early days of KNAC in Long Beach (CA) and the great stuff they played, you will really like this album. (It's a shame the cuts listed above don't have clickable samples to play, or you could hear what I'm talking about!) WELL WORTH THE INVESTMENT!

A very worthwile record........2002-12-07

This is a great work by B Weir. It has been nearly 20 or 25 years since this but it still has its moments.

Some songs became nuggets played by the Dead live, and some that he did w his own live projects. I like this much more than the Kingfish record. I think that one stinks. This is the one to pick up.

Sorry for the strong critic Bobby, but that record just didn t get to too many fans.

A classic.......1999-10-30

This happens to be John Menepace's favorite Bobby solo album. It brings back the days of the early 1990's sitting in the sun, drinking Lambrusco wine with oysters and clams and thinking about the summer tour. It's so easy to slip...

Bob Weir's best solo work.......1999-06-01

I think this is Bob Weir's finest solo album, the music has a great beat and the songs are great from start to finish.

Part of the charm and musical value of this magnificent series is hearing the unique choral sound and varied interpretive approaches of 10 different first-rate English cathedral choirs--and the particular acoustical character of the different spaces in which they perform. Each of the 10 volumes features a different choir performing the uniquely Anglican style of harmonized plainsong--Anglican chant--in various musical settings of the Psalms. The expert Wells Cathedral Choir singers have a pleasingly bright sound that allows the chant tunes--by composers such as Boyce, Howells, Stainer, and Wesley--to soar distinctly above the accompanying harmonies. This volume covers 22 Psalms, including "O come let us sing unto the Lord," "Hear my prayer, O God," and "By the waters of Babylon." --David Vernier
