With the help of some friends (James Taylor and Alison Krauss lend some vocal support), the trio of Yo-Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer, and Mark O'Connor have created yet another fascinating hybrid of chamber music and bluegrass. This follow-up to 1996's Appalachia Waltz is filled with highly lyrical string passages, a homage or two to Copland, and plenty of tracks where Meyer's bass vamps with the best of them. This is reflective (and relaxing) music, lacking the intricate structure of classical music and the rough edges of folk. But, boy, is it catchy! Yo-Yo Ma fans may be disappointed to hear that--aside from the gorgeous "Duet for Cello and Bass"--the cellist takes more of a supportive role on this disc. Still, this is fun music, more intimate than Short Trip Home (Meyer's other crossover project for Sony), but still lively (just check out "1B" or "Caprice for Three"). --Jason VerlindeCustomer Reviews:

Superb concert.......2005-08-02
Too Studied.......2005-06-22
The music throughout most of the CD sounds too labored, too studied. It is, frankly, not that inspiring. The playing throughout is, of course, of the highest calibre and the recorded sound excellent. But there is no hint of the exhuberance of Folk or Bluegrass which is the supposed inspiration for the disc. The guest spots by James Taylor and Alison Krauss are good but they sound like outtakes from their own CDs, these songs are out of context here. (But note how many other Amazon reviews reference their contributions as reasons for loving the CD. Perhaps so many five star ratings because these people need broader musical exposure?)
Too many critics over intellectualize. I base my ratings on one simple criterion: How much did the music move me? In this case, not much.

BUYERS NOTE!!!!!!!!.......2007-04-27
Please note that for reasons unclear some of the information on this page, including several of the user reviews, refer to the BGO remastered 2for1 CD that contains the Trower albums LONG MISTY DAYS and IN CITY DREAMS, yet the item for sale on this page is NOT THAT!!!!
The item for sale here is the original Trower release of LONG MISTY DAYS on CD from Chrysalis records.
The UPC code for the Chrysalis CD is 094632110725 and that is what this page is properly indexed as, and that is what the sellers here (including myself) are offering.
Any reference to the 2for1 BGO release, or anything on the label "Capital" instead of Chrysalis is a mistake on this page. I am trying to get Amazon to fix this, but unfortunately I have no control over that!
I hope this helps clear up any confusion and prevents any buyer disappointment if they buy this but expect to get the BGO version.

1/2 of a good disc.......2007-01-06
In City Dreams is horrible. It was the beginning of the end for Robin being a popular artist. Ironically, that's what he was trying to do, be more "mainstream". But writing lame pop songs with annoying electronic gimmicks did nothing but alienate his fan base.Because of this I have to take a star away from the overall rating.

SETS THE RECORD STRAIGHT.......2003-11-05
FIRST OF ALL, ALL POPULAR ALBUMS PRIOR TO 1955 WERE OF THE 10 INCH VARIETY....SO THE MOST ANY ALBUM COULD HAVE WERE 8 TUNES.
THE JAZZ ALBUMS OF THE TIME, HAD EVEN LESS BECAUSE OF THE LENGHT OF THE TRACKS. ONLY THE CLASSICAL ALBUMS WERE OF THE 12 INCH VARIETY, AND THAT WAS BECAUSE OF THE OBVIOUS EXTENDED LENGHT OF THE COMPOSITIONS. I WILL EXPAND MORE ON THIS LATER AS FAR AS THIS CD IS CONCERNED.
NO 2, I AM SICK AND TIRED OF LISTENERS WHO BY ALBUMS OF THIS PERIOD OR EARLIER AND COMMENT THEY WERE DISSAPOINTED IT WAS IN MONORAUL AND NOT STEREO.
WELL, STEREO WAS NOT PUT IN POP ALBUMS UNTIL 1956 AT THE EARLIEST AND THEY WERE MOSTLY EXPERIMENTAL(SOME OF THE EARLY STAN KENTON TRACKS OF THE MID 50'S WERE IN STEREO BUT NEVER RELEASED UNTIL ONLY A FEW YEARS AGO). STEREO WAS NOT REALLY UNLEASHED TO THE MASSES UNTIL 1958. SO PLEASE DON'T TAKE STARS OFF BECAUSE YOUR EARS CAN NOT TAKE MONO. DEAL WITH THE TECHNOLOGY OF THE TIME PEOPLE.
THE FIRST LP "MUSIC FOR LOVERS ONLY" WAS THE 10 INCH LP. WITH 8 SONGS ONLY. THE LADY FROM GA WHO SAYS SHE HAS THE FULL 16 SONGS ON HER ALBUM, HAS A CAPITOL RE-ISSUE. IT'S NOT THE ALBUM AS ORIGINALLY CONCEIVED. SO WHEN YOU GET THIS LP , YOU WILL GET THE EXACT 10 INCH VERSION. THE REMAINDER OF THE CD IS THE "MUSIC TO MAKE YOU MISTY" AND THAT IS THE ORIGINAL 12 INCH RECORDING. NOW THAT LP MAY HAVE HAD 16 SONGS ON IT. IF SO, CC SHOULD HAVE ADDED THE EXTRA 4 TRACKS, HOWEVER, BEING THAT THE LP WAS ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 1959, I AM PRETTY SURE THAT THE LP HAD ONLY 12 SONGS ON IT(WHICH WAS THE STANDARD BY THAT TIME). SO , IF INDEED THAT WAS THE CASE,CC WAS FAITHFUL TO BOTH ORIGINAL LPS.
THE MUSIC OF COURSE IS TOP NOTCH, IT IS NOT MUSZAC OF ELEVATOR MUSIC. UNFORTUNATELY, NO ONE UNDER 40 WOULD EVEN KNOW ALBUMS LIKE THESE EXIST ...IT'S TO THEIR DETRIMENT AND OF COURSE, I BLAME THE RADIO PROGRAMERS....BUT THAT'S ANOTHER STORY.

OFFBEAT, BUT GOOD LISTENING!.......2007-02-05
I lke this CD.......2006-04-27
An album not to be missed.......2005-12-02
Jack is an real artist with words having the ability to 'paint a picture with words'. He composed the majority of the songs they sing and their songs cover the whole range of life experience, as the title of the album so aptly says "Life & Death {and everything else in between}".
Interspersed with the more serious songs are some of their 'crazy' songs which so well illustrate their terrific sense of humour. These include Tennessee Birdwalk, which was a #1 hit and won them a Grammy Nomination in 1970, Humphrey The Camel, Legendary Chicken Fairy, If Eggs Had Legs, the catchy Dum Song and Cows (just listen to the lyrics) :) If you share their sense of humour you will not disappointed.
Other great tracks which relate to life's experiences include The Clock of St. James, You've Got Your Troubles (I've Got Mine), the poignant There Must Be More To Life (Than Growing Old), It Seems Like There Ain't No Going Home, Shadows Of The Leaves, Big Black Bird (Spirit Of My Love), Somewhere In Virginia In The Rain, Changin' Times, Place In Your Mind and Sunset Train. You can easily relate to the experiences in life that inspired these songs.
The two songs new to me, Don't It Make You Want To Go Home and Chapel Hill, are welcome additions which also tug at the heart strings.
Jack & Misty are both accomplished keyboard artists playing much of their own background music - Jack also plays guitars. They are accompanied by some of the best musicians around.
Jack & Misty have to be heard to be appreciated. Their songs just get better with the playing. They have something about them that gives them a "must listen again ... and again .... and again" quality. No how many times I listen to them I just NEVER, ever get tired of hearing them. I just grow to love them more each day.
Many of these songs can be heard on their website [...] ... just in case you need convincing.
Don't miss out on this musical treat.

Customer Reviews:
EASTWOOD IS ALSO A GREAT SONGWRITER.......2007-06-11
The disc does contain his wonderful A PERFECT WORLD and THE UNFORGIVEN. Why Eastwood never won an Oscar for some of his original scores is a mystery to me. He is more celebrated as a director than as an actor only because he won more awards in that category and his acting style was known for it's low-keyed and reactionary style. But the Clint Eastwood the musician cannot be dismissed and here is that more than proves his versatility. A known jazz lover, for fans of that genre, give a listen to WHY SHOULD I CARE from "True Crime", another great Eastwood composition.
The remainder of the disc is a salute to Eastwood and his work with a heavy emphasis on the jazz.
First rate. I've been a fan since his directoral debut in PLAY MISTY FOR ME. Little did I realize what a great composer he would turn out to be.
A must for any fans as there are no single soundtacks available from his movies featuring his work.
Play Misty For Me.......2005-12-20
The first half of the album features both Clint's own works and the fabulous talented composers he has worked with. Ennio Moricone's oh so recognizable style("The Good, The Bad and the Ugly"), the moving music of Lennie Niehaus("Pale Rider"), the haunting sounds from Lalo Schfrin("Dirty Harry Theme", where you will relive Clint doing the, "Do you feel lucky punk?" speech), and some other wonderful musicians including the great Civil War and Western sounding "Theme from Outlaw Josey Wales", by Jerry Fielding, and Erroll Garner's"Play Misty For Me", a gorgeous piano rendition. Some of Clint's own works, included are "Claudia's Theme" from "Unforgiven" "Kate's Theme" from "Absolute Power", "Big Fran's Baby" from "A Perfect World", and of course the mesmerizing and above mentioned "Doe Eyes".
Second half is a 10 part instrumental suite, "Clint Eastwood, An American Filmmaker Suite". This is music composed and conducted by Lennie Niehaus for the PBS "American Masters" documentary " Eastwood: Out of the Shadows" The music tells Clint's story musically, and it flows beautifully and emotionally.It has a little of everyting, including some great jazzy numbers. The orchestration and the musicians capture the journey wonderfully. For list of all 23 track titles, see buying info. You can also listen to samples from there.
The quality of the CD is excellent. A pamphlet with some production notes, and the tracks is included. There are some great pix of Clint as well. It doesn't have ALL his films included. Hopefully the music form "Kelly's Heroes"("Burning Bridges) and "The Beguiled"(more from Lalo Schifrin) will make the sequel album!
Take it in your car and listen to it when you are stuck in traffic, and it will take you somewhere else for a while.Just say "Play Misty For Me" and hit track 8. Highly recommended for the Eastwood fan. And for those that can't get enough, I would also recommend the soundtrack to "Bridges of Madison County". One of the most romantic albums I ever heard.
"Head 'Em Up, Move 'Em On....Keep Them Doggies Rollin...Rawhide!"
Enjoy....Laurie

Album Description
The Sandpipers were the perfect vocal group for that '60s A&M Records sound, blending soft, pillowy harmonies over a gently swaying bossa nova beat, with some horns, some strings and a little exotica courtesy of Pamela Ramcier's wordless vocalizing. The result: a genre-crossing, uncategorizable brand of seductive easy listening from a label that specialized in that sort of thing (e.g. label owner Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass)! We released our first Sandpipers twofer to great customer acclaim, and this exclusive, which also consists of two charting albums new to CD, should do the same; includes `Cuando Sail De Cuba (The Wind Will Change Tomorrow)'; `And I Love Her'; `Fly Me to the Moon'; `Strange Song'; `The Honeywind Blows'; `Misty Roses'; `Today; I Believe It All'; `Day Dream'; `Wooden Heart'; `Let Go'; `That Night'; `Wave'; `Yellow Days'; `Lo Mucho Que Te Quiero (The More I Love You)'; `Pretty Flamingo'; `The Wonder of You'; `Temptation'; `The Windmills of Your Mind'; `If I Were the Man', and the hit version of `Kumbaya'.Customer Reviews:

Product Description
Although Misty River's music is often compared to the neo-bluegrass style of Alison Krauss and the harmonies of The Trio (Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt and Dolly Parton), these four women have a sound all their own, fusing the band's award-winning songwriting and compelling vocal harmony with their distinctive acoustic instrumentation of accordion, fiddle, guitar, banjo, ukulele, mandolin and upright bass. Whether exploring the music of Appalachia, China, Ireland, the American South or the Pacific Northwest, the members of Misty River revel in sharing the stories of their own lives as well as those of the characters in their songs. STORIES combines the love Laura Quigley, Carol Harley, Dana Abel and Chris Kokesh have for musical storytelling with the talents of Grammy award-winning producer Todd Phillips. As Phillips describes it, the result is sophisticated yet simple, honest and transparent. Laura, Carol, Dana and Chris will tear your heart outthen put it back, better off than before. Beginning with Misty Rivers first open mike at an Irish pub in Portland in 1997, the past decade has seen the band mature as individual musicians. However, the group still maintains the magic vocal blend that first tied the quartet together. As Oregon Public Broadcastings Jeff Douglas explains it, When these four women weave their lovely harmonies, it is spine tingling. Their music and relaxed style reaches out and touches audiences in a way that is uplifting even when a ballad brings a tear to the eye. 1 Branching Out 2 Old Memories (Mean Nothing to Me) 3 Life Is Good 4 Louisa 5 Black Muddy River 6 Slice of Life 7 Time Goes By 8 Turtle Dove 9 Star of the County Down, Road to Lisdoonvarna, Connaughtman's Ra 10 Barbara Ellen 11 Daylight Again 12 Black Hawk 13 Gan Lan Shu 14 A Prayer Like Any OtherCustomer Reviews:
Pleasantly nostalgic, blissfully romantic, thoughtfully sensual.......2007-05-27
Besides their four well-blended vocals, Misty River has a number of other strengths - impressive songwriting, unique covers, poignant arrangements, and enticing understated instrumentation that all lend immediacy to their story songs. The emotional depth on "Stories" is drawn out of ballads about people, places, memories, and just plain ol' life in general in a song like Carol Harley's "Life is Good." Or take Dana Abel's lively "Slice of Life," for instance. The characters encountered on Portland city bus #36 include "tired folks, wired folks and those in between." Dana also wrote music for "Louisa" based on a poem by Alice Anne Martineau. While there are many versions of the traditional "Barbara Ellen," Misty River's melancholic rendition has a hard-hearted edge brought home by the fiddle after the rose and briar tie their post-mortem true love's knot. Each beautiful song offers its own observations about human experiences, attitudes, or beliefs.
Popular for the last few decades in China, a dreamy "Gan Lan Shu (The Olive Tree)" has Chris and Dana singing nostalgically in Chinese about a hometown far away. The leanest singer/songwriter fare is Chris Kokesh's solo self-penned "Time Goes By," accompanied only by her guitar. "I cut the pieces from my memory / All tired out and worn I have held them so many times But now they're heavy in my arms." Perhaps a little harmony on the chorus would've embellished the arrangement. Drawing upon material from another brilliant songwriter, Steve Young's "Old Memories (Man Nothing To Me)" has a similar theme of time passing and flying by. I wonder if the girls learned the song from Del McCoury's 1992 cover of it. Or if they picked up Daniel Lanois' "Black Hawk" from Emmy Lou's Wrecking Ball album that he produced. Regardless of how Misty River finds their material, their radiant "Stories" album shows that they are graceful interpreters who can be pleasantly nostalgic, blissfully romantic, or thoughtfully sensual. The soothing melody-driven result is Misty River's charming je ne sais quoi. Full of imagination and imagery, the album takes us on journey. Even though the road is long and slow, these four women keep right on rolling and always remembering and calling for a watchful eye over their friends and fans along the way.

This CD is a must for those who crave "environmental music"........1999-01-08
I own about 30 other CDs and tapes of this kind of music. Misty Forest Morning is by far the best of the lot.
This very calming mix of flute, guitar, and water sounds will propel you instantly into a theta state.
Don't leave your body without it!
