Like most of those popular singers who peaked in the period just before rock & roll emerged as a dominant force in music, Johnnie Ray has been neglected -- his own record label, Columbia, has issued a few hits compilations in varying degrees of completeness, which seems to be mostly what the U.S. market will support. But Germany's Bear Family Records has stepped out in front with a string of releases of Ray's catalog that started with this single CD and culminated with a similarly named box set. This 30-song collection has surprisingly little overlap with Columbia's 16 Most Requested Songs, so those already owning the latter will not have to concern themselves too deeply with that issue. Not all of the hits are here, by any means, but many of Ray's most interesting single sides are present, along with two previously unissued tracks. The sound is amazing, given the limited fidelity of many Columbia releases dating from across the same period, and anyone with doubts about Ray's versatility will get a first-hand look at his R&B and jazz influences, albeit not necessarily in their most commercially successful forms, and also the raw power of his voice -- additionally, numbers such as "Yes, Tonight Josephine" show how Ray did, indeed, keep himself competitive in the rock & roll era; it might not have the beat, but Ray's singing had the kind of edge that characterized some of the better pop-style efforts in that direction of the period. Also included are duets that he cut with Frankie Laine and Doris Day. The collection is well-annotated by Peter Grendysa, who gives a superb account of Ray's overall career. The only complaint one might have over the material is the producers' failure to follow even a minimal chronological order -- the songs jump all over the map across nine years of recording, which makes it a great showcase for Ray's range and depth, if not the evolution of his career and sound. ~ Bruce Eder

30 tracks from song stylist, including duets with Frankie Laine and Doris Day w. 24-page booklet

The nearly 100 songs collected on this two-disc set aren't necessarily for children (some of them, like the dark "When the Train Comes Along," have death as a theme, and others, like "What Did You Have for Supper," are floating snippets from large and tragic British ballads), and siblings Peggy and Mike Seeger certainly don't sing them the way Mr. Rogers would in his neighborhood, preferring instead to deliver the songs in the rough and ragged manner in which they were probably sung in the first place in the Appalachians and elsewhere, which makes American Folksongs for Children as much a lesson in history ...

Christian Sands Risin' CD  (2008)

Cry album
CD $20.25
'Risin'' - the third CD of young Christian Sands' remarkable career - holds a special significance for him: 'It means graduating and going on to college and adulthood in music,' says the 18 year old jazz prodigy. This young man began playing the piano at age 3, composing at age 5, and his meteoric rise in the jazz world already includes two appearances at the Grammy Awards, including an outrageous, highly publicized duet with legendary pianist Oscar Peterson. Those who have listened to him would contend that Christian Sands has already risen to an astonishing level of musical maturity, and has been an 'adult' for quite some time. This new CD more than adequately displays his extraordinary approach to his own original compositions and the works of others he chooses to interpret. Sands is a 'rising star' in the world of jazz. He possesses technique in abundance, but it perfectly matches his conception. His use of understatement accomplishes a much deeper musical goal. He takes a fresh look at the entire language of jazz: stride, swing, bebop, progressive, fusion, Brazilian and Afro-Cuban. He says, 'My music is about teaching the way of jazz and keeping it alive. It's unfortunate that the older styles, like stride, are starting to drift away.

' True to his word, Sands develops the past while providing unusual and stimulating vehicles for the present ! and for the future. Musicality, sensitivity, taste and swing - hallmarks for as long as he has been playing - manifest themselves at each moment during this session. 'Sandy' was composed, according to Sands, 'for [poet] Langston Hughes. I love his writing, and a character in one of his books, Sandy.

' The tune is an example of Christian's originality. Though the form of the song (AABA, 16-16-8-16) ...
