This is good country rock!.......2006-07-07

If you like classic country rock you will not be disappointed by this CD. It is a who's who of early 70s country rock.

Terrific Surprise.......2005-03-26

A week or so ago, when ordering "Best Of" albums by Poco and Pure Prairie League, just on a lark I typed in "Rick Roberts". For years I had bemoaned what I assumed to be the fact that "Windmills" had not been produced on a CD. I had missed hearing some of the great songs on that album that I used to enjoy so much in the mid-70s. To my delight I discovered it was being offered as half of a double CD. I ordered it and received it a few days ago.
To be perfectly honest, and this may seem an odd endorsement, personally I only really like about 5 of the songs out of the 19 contained it the set. That being said, those 5 to me are more than worth the price for the 19 (and this is only representative of my personal tastes....other listeners may understandedly disagree with good reason). In fact, I'd have gladly paid the full price just to get "In a Dream". When I heard that song again after nearly 30 years the memories flowed. The addition of "Deliver Me", "Davy Mcvie", "In My Own Small Way", and "Sail Away" were the icing on the cake. The lyrics and tunes are timeless.
I'm telling nothing to those like me who first listened to these songs years ago, but there are those out there who have yet to hear them. And to you, know that you are in for a real treat.

Highly recommended.......2002-08-20

This pricey UK import CD filled a lot of gaps in my music collection and is an excellent overview of notable music of (mostly) recent films. It's difficult to find consistently listenable soundtrack collections like this, by that I mean free from the obligitory Whitney Houston or Celine Dion embarrassments. Usually rights issues prevent comprehensive compilations like this in the US, too. While I enjoy a lot of soundtrack music, there aren't so many complete soundtracks that I would care to own, some examples of exceptions being Ennio Morricone scores and the About a Boy Soundtrack. While certainly most of these tracks are the actual recordings used in their respective films, I noticed that "La mamma morte" from Philadelphia is not the Maria Callas version. There might be other cases like this, I'm not sure. And "Unchained Melody" from Ghost is an orchestral version, not the pop song (but I consider this a plus). This collection seems to focus on the subtle and quirky, yet melodic music of indie films, with less emphasis on the loud sweeping orchestral scores of major Hollywood hits, but of course there are a few like Gladiator and Braveheart, which are welcome here because like I've said, I probably wouldn't listen to the whole score. I love the two Thomas Newman compositions from American Beauty, and it's good to have some music from films by the Cohen Brothers here. My only complaint would have to be the order of the songs. You would think they would avoid jumping back and forth between pop songs, orchestral scores, and quiet music, but it just seems thrown together by random. I would compare this collection to the excellent "Miramax Films Greatest Hits" but the makers of that album knew to group the two pop/rock songs at the end.
