by
Johnny Cash
At Folsom Prison was one of two legendary live albums Johnny Cash recorded in front of a prison audience in the late '60s. Part of the appeal of the records is the way Cash plays to the audience, selecting a set of songs that are all about prison, crime, murder, regret, loss, mother, God, and loneliness. Cash stimulates the audience's emotions, ...

by
The Kingston Trio
The Kingston Trio were the planet's most successful vocal group from 1958 until around 1962, and if they didn't exactly start the urban folk revival, they were instrumental in its sudden accessibility, as labels scrambled to sign up every acoustic player in sight to cash in on the Trio's marketability. This was a group that placed four albums ...

The Chieftains
With Long Black Veil, the Chieftains attempted a mainstream pop crossover by recording with rock and pop stars from the Rolling Stones and Sting to Van Morrison and Sinéad O'Connor. Instead of changing their sound to accommodate the talents of their guests, the band plays it straight. As always, their performance is superb; what is surprising is ...

The Band
Although the five musicians who came together in the late '50s and early '60s to back up Canadian rockabilly singer Ronnie Hawkins probably had played thousands of shows and had made numerous recordings, none of these public appearances gave much of a clue about how they would sound when they released their first album as the Band in July 1968. If ...

Bill Monroe
So much has been said about the founding father of bluegrass music that it would be nice if there was an all-encompassing collection of Bill Monroe's music to accompany the legend. Although the almost -correctly titled Anthology comes close, there is still a wealth of Columbia and RCA-Victor recordings missing from this Decca-centric collection, ...

Johnny Cash
This rather huge box set contains live and radio broadcast recordings by the Man in Black. There are no less than 36 recordings here, and most sound great. That said, Goldies has never been big on documentation and would rather slop stuff out than worry about it. In fact, one has to wonder if these sides were even authorized and licensed or if ...

New Frontier/Time to Think

more music like this
by
The Kingston Trio
These two albums paired on one CD make for a strange pair of bookends, since the title song of The New Frontier was John Stewart's salute to the Kennedy era and the penultimate song on Time to Think was Stewart's memorial to the late president. The mix of songs is extremely diverse and, if not the group's ideal repertory, shows off their ability ...

A curious collection of Lefty from his early Columbia period all the way into later Nashville recordings, literally swamped in Nashville production. On the early honky tonkers like "Give Me More, More, More of Your Kisses," "How Long Will It Take to Stop Loving You," "Look What Thoughts Will Do," and "Don't Stay Away," his message comes through ...

The second individual volume of The Legend of Johnny Cash does its best to augment the initial release that was issued as a marketing extra for the film I Walk the Line. The first disc spent some initial time -- as is proper -- on Cash's early years for Sun, and filled out the set with tracks from his long association with Columbia Records and his ...

As with most country music greats, there is no shortage of Lefty Frizzell anthologies, so the arrival of something as bland-sounding as 16 Biggest Hits, especially in light of Columbia/Legacy's excellent 34-track Look What Thoughts Will Do collection, does little to prick up the ears of longtime fans. Most of the classics are here -- "Saginaw, ...

Sammi Smith was a difficult singer to categorize. Straddling the line between lush country-pop and idiosyncratic outlaw country, she didn't belong to either world, which didn't effect the quality of her music but at times could mean that she slipped through the cracks between critical acclaim and commercial sales. She didn't want either, but ...

Bobby Bare was a restless artist, pushing country music forward in the '60s by incorporating elements of folk and rock in equal measures on his recordings for RCA. His music could have an epic narrative sweep, or it could be intimate in its telling details. He could be a warm, sensitive singer and he also could be tougher than many other vocalists ...

Joan Baez 5 was where the singer's music experienced its first major blossoming. Having exhausted most of the best traditional songs in her repertory on her four prior LPs, Joan Baez had to broaden the range of her music, and she opened up some promising new territory in the process. Baez and Vanguard Records must also have recognized by 1964 that ...
