Good Morning Vietnam

Search: The Band - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
by: Various Artists

Release Date October 03, 2005
I'll admit, when I first popped this in I expected more of the tunes made famous by movies, but I was pleasantly surprised - It has many of the 'classics' related to the Vietnam War era along with lots of others that I hadn't heard before (I'm only 24) but my parents and older co-workers knew (along the lines of "Gawd - I haven't heard that in YEARS!!").
I brought it to Iraq when I deployed and the set became an 'office' (tent) favorite even among today's 20-somethings. Great to yowl along to when you're filling sand bags or pulling guard. There's really something for everyone - from surf songs to motown to 'hippie' stuff.

The Best Country Album in the World...Ever

Release Date November 01, 1996
I have had this CD since it first came out in the 1990's still listen to it and enjoy it now. Yes I'm a big Country music fan why do people look at you strange when you say that, but whenever I put it on at any party they all sing along hence me buying this CD for my Dad for his birthday as he has borrowed mine. Great CD with the all time classics Rose Garden, Don't you make my Brown Eyes blue and many more. Well worth buying!

The Best Country Album in the World...Ever

Search: The Band - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
by: Various Artists

Release Date November 17, 1994
It was inevitable that those lovely people at Virgin Records would include a "Country" collection into their ever-so popular "Best.......Album In The World Ever!" series. However, this compilation from 1994 - a time when Virgin were churning out "Best.......Ever!" albums on what seemed like a weekly basis - is a rather lame attempt to make "Country" music appealing. The biggest letdown for this reviewer is that actual title of the album itself. Without the insertion of tracks by genuine country legends such as Hank Williams Sr, George Jones and Loretta Lynn (to name but a few), this collection can never hope to be any sort of definitive "Best Country Album....Ever" compilation.

The majority of the 40 tracks on this double CD ... Read More:

Endless Highway: the Music of the Band [Us Import]

Search: The Band - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
by: The Band

Release Date January 30, 2007
The Band wrote and performed some fantastic songs, so any tribute album should be onto a winner from the start. However, this one gets contemporary artists to play the Band songbook, with mixed results. For me there is very little on the CD that comes close to the quality of earlier recordings such as Nina Simone's version of 'I shall be released' or the Staple Singers take on 'The Weight', or more recent covers like Cassandra Wilson's take on 'The Weight' or Solomon Burke's wonderful interpretation of 'Makes no difference'. That said, the quality of the songs is still outstanding and most of these versions are just about OK, it's just not the Band!

My faves are The Roches 'Arcadian Driftwood', My Morning Jacket 'Makes no difference' ... Read More:
