O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Compilations
from: Buena Vista Pictures

December 05, 2000
Bought this CD as USED but it looks and sounds as good as new. This music is haunting, beautiful, or charming...depending on the specific tune. This is really pre-country / bluegrass classical folk stuff. You will either understand its origins and love it, or think it is stupid.

I was a little disapointed in the selection of songs on this CD and probably would not recommend it to a friend.

I can't get enough of these two discs - I really can't! I'd say why don't they make music like this anymore but truth is the America that this music was made in vanished a long, long time ago. Grab your kazoo and get ready to be transported to the ancient future! This music is completely and absolutely HIGH GRADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SENOR FAHEY!

Not Great sound quality, Look for a CD by a group called "Shades of Grass" if you like great Bluegrass music.

Classic Bluegrass From Smithsonian Folkways

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Compilations
by: Various Artists

April 23, 2002
CLASSIC BLUEGRASS was produced as part of the Smithsonian Institute's Folkways series, dedicated to preserving the best of the American folk music tradition. These recordings occurred at various times & under various conditions--and the professional quality of all are deserving of the Smithsonian's impeccable standards. In fact, all the tunes could have been recored at a top studio in Nashville just yesterday.

Bluegrass emerged as a fusion of western European folk music traditions, and in turn formed the source of Country & Western, and merged with Gospel & Cajun as well.

The highlights of the Bluegrass style feature hard driving guitar & banjo picking; precision vocal harmony & compositions that more often ... Read More:

Totally Country, Vol. 6

January 30, 2007
I've made a dedication to myself to collect each and every single totally country album. It was vol. 3 that got me started. All the beforeward and afterward records seemed pretty good. But this once was purchased by me by the skin of its teeth. Where's Rascle Flatts? Where's Eric Church? Where's Trent Tomilson?

The only songs to me that really made me think about buying it would have to be "8th of November" from Big & Rich, "Mountains" from Lonestar, and "Last Day of My Life" from Phil Vassar. The rest of the songs were either horrible or not very good.

Seriously, "Don't Forget to Remember Me" from Carrie Underwood is all played out! I mean, back when it was on the charts, that damn songs was coming on the radio all the time! If they ... Read More:
