This is punk?.......2007-06-30

Yeah, some of it is okay. I'm a fan of both Punk AND Emo/Screamo. This is def a bait and switch though. You could tell Anti-Flag was thrown on there to gain street cred with the punk crowd. But anyone that actually listens to punk would shut this off before even getting to that far in the album. Jack's Mannequin is punk?

I think they should have done two cd's. Emo Goes Acoustic and Punk Goes Acoustic. Put the stuff on the right CD so people don't grab it expecting something totally not what they are promoting.

"Unplugged" music fans need to discover this CD.......2007-06-03

Most tracks on this CD boast outstanding production skill and highest quality recording equipment. These tracks work well together and provide gorgeous hooks and harmonies throughout. If you love unplugged music, you should buy this CD. I can't stop listening to it. Don't miss the Jack's Mannequin acoustic song, "Bruised," but each song stands on its own and is worth listening to. These acoustic versions allow you to appreciate the intimate features of each vocalist in ways that you otherwise couldn't.

Flavor of the Week.......2007-05-26

This is a fair to decent CD for what it is, and it's nice to see a "Punk Goes" disc that isn't full of cover songs for once. With that being said, Punk Goes Acoustic 2 is still nothing more than a cash in by Fearless Records, a "Now 203 or whatever for alternative music fans. The majority of this disc is filled with the latest pop rock/emo flavors of the week, Anti-Flag and Set Your Goals are merely thrown in for street cred (as attested to by their track numbers).
I'm not bashing this CD because it's not "punk", most of the band's put on a good performance, but it's hard not to laugh at a record that features Daphne Loves Derbe and the Spill Canvas next to a band like Anti-Flag. I think Jello Biafra would have a thing to say about this.
Buy this if you can't get over your 7th grade girlfriend.

This CD presents 10 extraordinary slack key artists, each with their own tuning and slack key style ranging from traditional to contemporary showing an evolution of this art form. Slack Key Guitar Volume 2 won the first ever Best Hawaiian Music Album Grammy at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards! It is the sequel to "Slack Key Guitar", a HOKU Award finalist and top selling CD on Palm Records.

Customer Reviews:

Even Southerners Love It.......2007-06-02

I have several slack key guitar CDs to include Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Masters volumes I and II, and Slack Key Guitar I. This CD is by far the best that I've collected so far. The reason being is that the aforementioned CDs include songs with chanting/singing. I love this CD because there are no vocals on it.

The music is all original and very calming. I live down in South Carolina and even the southerners love it. My boss asks me to play it whenever we have upper-class blue-blood clients.

It's nice to spread the aloha. This CD certainly does the trick.

Excellent first slack key purchase!.......2006-12-31

We first heard this CD when we were on a tour of Mauna Kea and fell in love with it! It is an excellent CD for anyone wanting to hear some of the best slack key guitar music for the first time. We highly recommend it to anyone wanting to expand their musical library.

Excellent!!.......2006-03-28

I LOVE this CD. It is relaxing, uplifting and warmly stirring.
I have given it as a gift and it was loved as well. If you like guitar you will love this!!

Maika'i Nui Loa!!.......2005-02-26

Beautiful~~ Soothing~~
What a thrill this CD won the Grammy for the first ever Hawaiian Music category. This CD features slack key guitarists who truly embody the beauty of all things Hawaiian. Their talent individually is incredible-- collectively it is mind boggling. If you've ever personally seen any of them play, you know what I mean. Slip this CD in the player, dim the lights, kick back and relax. Let these guys take over & you'll swear you feel the warm sun, hear the gentle waves rolling in, and see the beauty of the immense diversity of the countryside throughout the Hawaiian islands.

First ever Hawaiian GRAMMY AWARD WINNER!!.......2005-02-20

This is an excellent choice for you!! Recently noted as the FIRST EVER HAWAIIAN GRAMMY AWARD WINNER, you will love this album!! The soothing melodies of slack key will take your breath away.

This 60-minute, 16-track compilation is the second installment in what has proven to be another successful concept generated by New Age-music specialists. In this case, bestselling author Neale Donald Walsh and Windham Hill have branded a pair of label compilation projects with the evocative title from Walsh's popular series of books. This assortment of preexisting music, which includes several splendid moments, nevertheless conveys a certain patchwork quality that impacts the intended mood of seamlessness inherent in the genre's best thematic samplers. The album's opener, "Remembrance," comes from George Winston's ode to Vince Guaraldi and introduces the project with an urban texture. The passionate vocal style of Patti Cathcart (of Tuck & Patti) and country-tinged voice of Cathy Bolton (who closes the album with "Amazing Grace") at times seem a bit intrusive within the album's generally contemplative mood. Still, gems like Will Ackerman's dynamic, violin-powered "Driving," Michael Manring's inventive "Welcoming," and Jim Brickman's piano solo "Dream Come True" succeed beautifully at fulfilling the album's premise. An attractive package. --Terry Wood

Customer Reviews:

Enjoyable mixture.......2003-05-03

I was a tad bit disappointed in this disc, after hearing disc 1. If the premise was to correlate with the CWG books, I would expect very little vocal and more instrumental. I did not like the vocals on this disc and really felt that it detracted from the rest of the disc. I wanted to be relaxed, in a meditative state and the vocals seemed to distract from that ambiant mood. I felt that the vocal tracks really had nothing at all to do with the tone of the disc.

This is not a disc to relax to, but rather, to enjoy the wonderful music of the various artists of Windham Hill.

Since the CWG books stand alone, I would expect more of a meditative, contemplative disc, as one found with disc 1. The very few vocals on disc 1 were subtle and blended perfectly with the intrumental moods. But disc 2 is more distracting to me and I felt that the disc could do without the vocals or they could have been as subtle in the first disc.

The song REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE by Cathy Bolton is just beautiful I would like more of her music but am unable to find it.Can you help? Does she have her own album? The songs by Jim Brickman are very good as well as those by George Winston but many of the other artists I do not care for.

Mark Weigle lets it all hang out.......2005-07-14

If you are familiar with Mark Weigle's previous CD's, then this two sided effort is going to be a comfort and a shock. When I say two sided, I don't mean in the old traditional side one and side two definition of vinyl albums. I mean in the split personalities of "Soulsex" individual CD's. The discs are each given a sub-title of "Wrestling The Angel" and "Versatile." A more appropriate moniker might have been "ego" and "id," respectively.

The "Wrestling The Angel" half is the Mark Weigle his fans will be most likely to identify first. It's filled with the thoughtful, insightful and folkish songs that Mark has graced us with over the course of his CD's. There is even a wonderful nod to his love of country music, in the begging to be covered "And I Love Horses." You will also find such out-conscious songs as "The Blessing" and "Little Boy," and the stellar "Why Not Fly." These songs speak more to me than any screeching diva or club mix ever will.

There are also a growing number of social issue songs here. "Lazy Mexican" attacks prejudice and "White Scarves On Tuesday" belongs next to Sting's "They Dance Alone," both in topic and musical excellence. But you'll also see a very pointed and angry song that looks into an unpleasant gay culture's mirror with "Tires and Gasoline," the story of Billy Jack Gaither, a man who was brutally murdered by gay bashers in Alabama around the same time Matthew Sheppard was killed in Laramie. Problem was, 39 year old middle aged men aren't quite as saintly as 22 year olds, and Gaither's murder was - when reported at all - usually a sidebar to the canonization of Sheppard. It's one of the many highlights on "Wrestling The Angel."

In fact, if that was the only disc we were talking about here, I'd probably be ready to gush about just how much Mark's music keeps improving, and how much I think his CD's are among the best you'll find. But then, you have that id disc roaring out from under that mild mannered persona. On the first song, a lead guitar snarls a gnarly lead and the first words you hear are "Hey there Mr. Trucker Man, I heard your zipper falling."

Buckle your seat belts, fellas. It's going to be a stormy ride. Focus on The Family is going to mess themselves.

"Versatile" is something that I've never heard before. Instead of high lonesome sensitive man to man paeans to love and eternal devotion, Mark tears the cover off with primal lunges into truck stops, parks after dark and leather bars. And these ain't pretty boys in OUT magazine fashion model adverts. These are mans' songs, odes to blue collar guys with a "Joe Gage face and a Brush Creek belly." (In fact, several of these songs are used as the soundtrack to the Joe Gage produced "110 Degrees In Tucson.") Just like the adult DVD soundtack the songs represent, there's a lot of celebration of the carnal on "Versatile." So if you're spooked by four letter words, slang description of male anatomy and what can be done to stimulate it, well, you might be reading the wrong review.

Mark also indulges in all sorts of musical carrying on here. There's the funky "Nasty Bizness" (with more than a slight nod to Janet Jackson), a "Baby Got Back" parody called "Buddy Got Gut" and one hysterical country satire with the obvious title "Made for Sucking You." It's not all snorts and giggles, though. "Ben's Whips" explores the leather scene without condescension and "Soulsex Disclosure/Essence" gives a thorough and honest assessment of modern - read second-generation AIDS era - relationships in four minutes. You even get the elevation of a band that should be recognized as gay icons as Mark respectably covers Judas Priest's "Desert Plains."

I always wondered when I'd finally hear somebody make an album that was nothing but an unbridled gay male libido, and "Versatile" completely delivers music that literally has its creator indulging in the expression to "rock out with your c--k out." The double whammy of Mark Weigle's "Soulsex" is already one of my favorite CD's of 2005.

SoulSex is all-consuming, high-spirited & FUN, like real sex.......2005-04-28

SoulSex's two CD's could each stand alone as good albums. One, "Wrestling The Angel", blends gentle country with soft rock and features Weigle's characteristic laid-back vocal delivery (reminiscent of Gordon Lightfoot). But Weigle stretches out from his formula on a few exceptional tracks: "Tires & Gasoline" remembers the murdered and forgotten Billy Jack Gaither - and takes on the hypocrisy of the Gay icon-marketing machine. Covering Cheryl Wheeler, "Unworthy" elicits smiles of recognition -- everyone I play it for thinks it's about them! -- and the urge to sing along. The most deftly-realized song on SoulSex, the proud, indiscreet, hauntingly subtle, and literally death-defying "Why Not Fly" gives me chills whenever I hear it.

But Mark really shines on the other disc, "Versatile". Unprecedentedly honest, clear and queer, unembarassedly explicit, these often-sensual songs are about his erotic tastes. Sex and desire are out and in-front, raunchy and personal. From hoedowns to rave-ups, from servicing truckers to a daddy-boy resting his head on daddy's belly, each detail combines for a real trip.

"Buddy Got Gut" is seductive, defensive, a riff on "Baby's Got Back", and sketch comedy. Then there's - well, I have to say it: I appreciate "Asshole", another hypocrisy-skewering lyric that takes on nothing less than flipping our bodily shame into pride, up-ending the idiocy of expressing disgust via homophobia right on its ass. "These Lips of Mine" begins: "I learned why the good lord gave me wrists / when he slapped those handcuffs on / And I praised god he gave me teeth / to get your zipper down," sung with just the cutest, most adorable, most perfect excited catch in the throat ever. But on "Desert Plains" Mark pays full-throated, Out loud homage to Rob Halford, Judas Priest's Out heavy metal pioneer, and the antithesis of laid-back.

Mark Weigle has taken quite a journey to get where he is (it's worth the effort for you to listen to his previous releases), and he shares the experience with you, for real. Not cliched Gay, nor outre Gay, nor "So-o-o" Gay, Mark's songs are simply unembarrassed, unapologetically Gay. And, by expressing his personal truth so well, he reaches for the universal human experience and touches it in our hearts.

What 'Lightnin' Hopkins cd wouldn't get 5-stars?.......2007-06-09

Simple...if you love Sam 'Lightnin' Hopkins' style of playing, singing, writing and performing, you'll love this. A very prolific performer and recording artist, this provides a good mix of his style. Notice the finger work: it's clean, strong, and complex. The lyrics are great, based on simple life experiences. He could write a song at the drop of a hat. Listen to the tracks and you'll be amazed. If you don't love this stuff, then you don't love the blues.

Homegrown Hippy Harmonica.......2007-06-04

You gotta really love the harmonica to be happy with this CD. I've tried it twice now, but can't get through it. It's not bad, I just can't get through the harmonica and violin to get to the groove. I'd heard a couple of songs from him before buying this that had a quirky, groovy feel to them, that I thought would take me to the acoustic crossover between buzzland and hometown organic. A rare place to go I can tell you, but neccessary once in a while. Anyway, I'm going to keep looking for the right time to try it again so I can hopefully appreciate it. But until I can find it, my advice is to buy it only if you love the sound of a harmonica.

Album Description

Ann Arbor, Michigan, seems an unlikely site for the establishment of a major avant-garde festival that would shake the new-music community. Tucked away in America's heartland, the city is equally removed from the Eastern metropolises whose artists pride themselves on sensing the pulse of the times, and from the nonconformist West Coast. Yet during the 1960s Ann Arbor played host to one of the most extraordinary adventures in American music history: the annual ONCE Festival and its nexus of related activities.

The primary aim of ONCE's founders--Robert Ashley, Gordon Mumma, George Cacioppo, Roger Reynolds, and Donald Scavarda--was to create a forum for the presentation of cutting-edge music. To this end they were phenomenally successful. Performers and composers--whether little-known or renowned--embraced the endeavor, demanding almost nothing in return. Perhaps most important, however, ONCE acted as a creative stimulus for its organizers. Scavarda describes the adventure as an explosion of pent-up energy: "Suddenly we could write anything we wanted and have it heard." And they did. The ONCE composers--and many guest artists--wrote a host of new works, some experimental, others more traditional.

What united the ONCE composers was their exploration of sound, whether through the medium of extended techniques on traditional instruments, electronic (or electronically modified) timbres, or the intersection of musical sounds with those of the environment.

A major slice of ONCE's rich musical legacy--35 works constituting six hours of music--is presented here, almost all for the first time. These pieces are as diverse in style as they are compelling in expression. This landmark set, the most comprehensive document ever released of this legendary event, is an opportunity for anyone interested in contemporary music to hear history in the making. Included in the set is a 140-page booklet with a lengthy scholarly essay by musicologist and biographer Leta Miller and numerous rare photos of ONCE personages and performances.

More top-notch recordings.......2004-09-26

Collectors and casual blues listeners should be equally pleased by this delightful companion volume to "The American Folk Blues Festival 1962-1966".

Released to coincide with volume three in the similarly titled (and equally magfinicent) DVD series, this disc includes 16 performances recorded by German promoters Fritz Rau and Horst Lippmann who originally booked the "American Folk Blues" tours through Europe.
And the sound is very, very good, crisp and clear. Big Mama Thornton opens the festivities, doing a tough, salacious "Hound Dog" which can wipe the floor with Elvis's version any day. She is backed by an all-star combo which includes Buddy Guy, pianist Eddie Boyd, and the wonderfully muscular rhythm section of Fred Below and bassist "Lonesome" Jimmy Lee. This version is faster than Big Mama's other officially issued recording from the 60s Blues Festivals, but no less great, and it is followed by a fine rendition of Sonny Terry's and Brownie McGhee's swinging acoustic "Stranger Blues", and the spooky-voiced Nehemia "Skip" James doing his version of "Pony Blues" titled "All Night Long".

Two 1963 performances by the ageing Sonny Boy Williamson (version 2.0, Rice Miller) are among the absolute highlights: A slow, gritty performance of "Keep It To Yourself", and a weary but wonderful "Your Funeral And My Trial", both of which feature Memphis Slim on piano.
Then comes Joseph Vernon Turner, Big Joe himself, swinging his way through a delightfully funky, jazz-flavoured "Flip, Flop And Fly", and Howlin' Wolf's fine performance of the slow "I'll Be Back Someday". Wolf is backed by a superb combo, the same one with which he first toured Europe in his own: Sunnyland Slim, Willie Dixon, Hubert Sumlin, and drummer Clifton James.

Willie Dixon's "Nervous" is a bit of a novelty item, albeit a clever one, but there is nothing lightweight about Bukka White mauling his National steel guitar and growling his way through a five-minute "Got Sick And Tired", or the great Son House doing a slow, somber six-minute rendition of his razor-edged "Death Letter".
Slide slinger Hound Dog Taylor is in higher spirits for the Elmore James-derivative "Wild About You", tearing through the fiery 2 1/2-minute boogie with harpist Little Walter Jacobs in staunch support, and Walter remains onboard for a great take on Koko Taylor's "Wang Dang Doodle".

Muddy Waters does a slow, mournful "Long Distance Call", one of the "bluesiest" of all this 16 blues tunes. He is backed by teenaged harpist Paul Oscher and the core of his own band, guitarists Luther "Snake Boy" Johnson and James "Pee Wee" Madison, and bassist Lawrence "Lil' Sonny" Wimberly.
Slide guitarist Earl Hooker greets the crowd with a cheeful "Thank the Hell outta ya", before launching into a scorching "Walking The Floor Over You"/"Off The Hook" instrumental medley, and Magic Sam Maghett is captured shortly before his premature death of heart failure, doing a terrific "All Your Love" as part of a lean, mean, three-piece combo.
The final song, an improvised "Bye Bye Blues", gathers the entire 1963 cast for a "sing-along", including Memphis Slim, Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, Otis Spann and several others. You can catch the same performance on the DVD. One of them. I think it's the first one, but I'm too lazy to check.

Anyway. This CD is attractively packaged, with good liner notes and thorough recording information, and generally excellent fidelity.
A find for diehards and casual listeners alike. Highly recommended.

Product Description

When I first recorded Fab 4 on 6 I wasn’t thinking about a volume two. I really thought I’d be doing something else for my next solo acoustic CD. However, the response to the first CD has been so overwhelming and positive that it seemed crazy to not do a follow up disc. (Its not like there weren’t any more good Beatles tunes left.) This new CD deviates a bit from the first one. I’m still playing the same guitar but with a different attitude. I wanted to take a few chances this time around and let my imagination play with the songs. Every since I first took up the guitar I’ve always approached music from a personal perspective. From the start I heard things differently and wasn’t afraid to express these differences through embellishment and improvisation. I was forever changing the notes in the songs I was assigned to play. While this made for more expressive (and in my view “better” music) it was a source of frustration to my teachers I’m sure. My background is in blues, funk, soul and jazz. But this is not a jazz record. There’s quite a bit of improvisation here, but it is done in the shadow of these other various styles. I’m approaching the songs with a playful attitude that draws on the myriad of influences that make up my style. I’ve certainly been influenced by the blues and jazz greats, but also by the multi-textural, polyrhythmic work of Leo Kottke and Michael Hedges. My fingerpicking approach is not rooted in the traditional Travis-style school and as such I derive my sense of bass movement and internal rhythm more like a drummer or funk bassist. My harmony is also not dependent on open tunings. All of these songs are played in standard tuning with an occasional drop “D” used on the low string. My harmonic sense is perhaps where my jazz background is evident as I’m comfortable with a wide variety of chordal sounds. What makes these songs work for me is the energy and excitement that I put into them. They are all fun to play and hopefully fun to listen to.

We've heard it all before ... and it's a CDR not a CD ... with a paper label.......2006-08-04

This is a very pleasant album, but as a collector with hundreds of Beatles cover albums, I would say it brings nothing new to the genre except a clever title. And I was extremely disappointed to find out that it was a CDR not a CD, with a glued on paper label to boot. Who knows if it will even be playable in 10 years?! CDR sellers ought to at least warn potential buyers that it's not a pressed CD ... which is really what it was advertised as. And how expensive is it to print on CDRs directly these days anyway?
