here, both Pop and Orchestral. Most of these songs are simply impossible to find, even on vinyl! Simply put, this is the DEFINITIVE Hard-to-Find Fifties Instrumental CD . Besides the melodies you know, you'll discover great tunes and genres you haven't heard in years: honky-tonk, Dixieland, songs about Texas; beautiful trumpet, clarinet and piano solos, and more. Note: the '& More' in the album title includes 8 songs sung by Chorus with Orchestra. Back in the day, it was not at all unusual for such choral performances to be included in the instrumental category. As always, all are the ORIGINAL HITS by the ORIGINAL ARTISTS. Fifteen hit the Top Billboard 20 and 7 tracks are in STEREO. All digitally remastered for highest quality sound , this CD in...  (less)

joy and fun of this multigenerational collection. Be it quacking with "The Ugly Duckling," singing along with folksy "This Old Man," bopping to the calypso beat of "The Banana Boat Song," or daydreaming to "House on Pooh Corner," every member of the family will find a favorite in this compilation of songs by the original artists. --Deborah L.

columns, and, most recently, an independent campaign to become governor of Texas. This revival of Kinky's material takes its title from one of Friedman's campaign slogans (another is "How hard could it be?") and four of its ten cuts from Pearls in the Snow , Friedman's previously released, self-commissioned tribute album. While that earlier release focused on Friedman's non-satirical material--with Lyle Lovett wringing every once of pathos from "Sold American" and Willie Nelson bringing a tender touch to "Ride 'Em Jewboy"--this album highlights some of Friedman's more outrageous material. A hard-driving "They Ain't Makin' Jews Like Jesus Anymore," a song designed to offend just about everyone, finds Todd Sni...  (less)

strives to explain his imprisonment and get his revenge, he soon finds out that not only does his kidnapper still have plans for him, but that those plans will serve as an even worse fate than 15 years of imprisonment. Directed by Park Chan-wook and released in 2003. Nearly every song title on the film's soundtrack is a reference to a noir movie or novel: The Big Sleep, Farewell My Lovely, Out of the Past, Point Blank, etc. EMI. 2005.  (less)

to Heroes telethon, while John Mellencamp's "Peaceful World" is included in an alternate, acoustic treatment. Each listener may find his or her own favorites, but few will be left unmoved by a selection that also includes Bruce Springsteen's "Land of Hope and Dreams," Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge over Troubled Water," and renderings of "America the Beautiful," "This Land Is Your Land," and "Amazing Grace" by, respectively, Frank Sinatra, Pete Seeger, and Tramaine Hawkins. Bill Withers's "Lean on Me" closes the disc on a plainspoken note that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of rescuers and other Americans since the tragedies. A back-cover note promises that a "substantial portion of the proceeds received by Sony Music [Columbia's parent compan...  (less)

the emphasis on pop settings over pizza parlor fare isn't too much of a departure from the "favorites" tag considering the influence of Neapolitan ballads and operatic arias on the early days of Tin Pan Alley. Fans of Italian music will still find plenty of traditional themes and melodies here and enough soaring emotion to satisfy the soul of Verdi. For lovely Italian songs more grounded in tradition, also look to the Putumayo label's Italian Music Odyssey anthology. For gritty street-corner folk music, check out the four titles released so far in Rounder Records' Italian Treasury series. --Bob Tarte  (less)

title, though, because in 12 tunes, not a single other studio is covered. Such a distinction should stymie only those on Disney detox; for the rest of us, the curtain's raised on a fairy tale-fueled, four-star show. A righteous Louis Armstrong in training socks it to "The Bare Necessities"; "Colors of the Wind," soaked in sincerity, commands repeat performances; and a decidedly unspotty rendition of the "101 Dalmatians" nugget finds Cruella DeVil strapping on and plugging in her Fender Stratocaster. Fun forays into dustier Disney corners ("The Unbirthday Song" from Alice in Wonderland , "When I See an Elephant Fly" from Dumbo ) dish up equally entertaining rewards, and a sunny "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" should get the whole gang um-diddle-diddling. The kids and th...  (less)

fare from Fuel, Saliva, and Nickelback, the pairing of Drowning Pool with another cartoon character, Rob Zombie, is the clear winner on personality alone. Two cuts from newcomers Evanescence, including the song showcased in the film's trailer ("Bring Me to Life"), also stand out thanks to the dramatic vocals of Amy Lee, who should find favor with Tori Amos fans. Respites from the hard rock action round out the disc: a collaboration between Nappy Roots and P.O.D. guitarist Marcus Curiel is a rap-rock outing that actually satisfies on both levels, Autopilot Off chime in with some peppy emo, and the title theme gets a Chemical Brothers-style big beat overhaul. --Kurt B.
