Tuba player Bob Stewart's CD came out about the same time as Howard Johnson's Gravity release, and Stewart suffers by comparison. Bluesman Taj Mahal contributed the much too talky "Big Kneed Gal" and very tedious "Fishin' Blues." Carlos Ward's "Nubian Stomp" is at best uninspired reggae, while his street strut "Nette" barely gains headway in spite of trumpeter Graham Haynes' spirited solo. Stewart's originals and handling of standards fare much better. Both "funk" and "Hambone" get his group cooking. Jelly Roll Morton's "King Porter Stomp" gets a refreshing update, including the addition of a French horn. But it is the slowly savored arrangement of "You Don't Know What Love Is," featuring Stewart with pianist Dave Burrell, that takes top honors. ~ Ken DrydenDown Beat (2/97, p.47) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...rambunctious fun....His endeavor to make the tuba relevant again succeeds through breadth of repertoire...through four varied ensemble configurations...and through his own complete command over the most recalcitrant of instruments..."

| | Willie Nelson Best Of CD (1973) (Import) Germany
Then & Now
$8.45
Includes liner notes by Ed Ward.
This collection of 18 songs by folk rocker, Willie Nelson, includes such classics as "Georgia on My Mind," "Good Hearted Woman," and "Moonlight in Vermont."
Willie Nelson wasn't at Liberty Records for much longer than a couple of cups of coffee, but he did record some great material for the label, including "Funny How Time Slips Away," "Hello Walls," "Crazy," and "Mr. Record Man." This set includes all of these, plus a handful of others from the early portion of Nelson's career, and it makes for a fine introduction to the songwriting side of Nelson, since some of the best songs he ever wrote are here. ~ Steve Leggett
Willie Nelson didn't spend much time at Liberty Records, but he did record some of his best early material for the label, including his takes on "Funny How Time Slips Away," "Hello Walls," "Crazy," and "Mr. Record Man." The 1973 collection The Best of Willie Nelson offers those four along with nine other well-chosen songs, resulting in a nice summary of the first major phase of Willie's career. Other collections of the Liberty material have been more comprehensive, but this remains the best, most concise overview of those early recordings. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
After several frustrating years trying to get a hit record of his own, C&W songwriter Willie Nelson signed with the Los Angeles-based Liberty record label ...

Nitya: Music, through its contact with our emotions, helps us nurture our inner being and realise what it is to be human, with aspirations, as well as joy and suffering. This is what I had in mind in creating the music for The Heart Takes Wing. My own life, and hence these compositions, has been greatly informed by the Hindustani Ragas and Jazz, but I am also deeply humbled by, and in awe of, the other great musical traditions and disciplines, composers and performers that embody the expression of the whole range of human experience with dignity, acceptance and compassion.Kathy Kituai: Originating 1300 years ago in Japan, tanka has traversed centuries offering spirituality and healing. This ancient five line form invites us to pause and sit with ‘what is’, be that the splendour of a glory vine, a wombat on a country road, rosellas full flight or the pain of love, loss and longing and to go beyond the reach of the ordinary moment and heal.Poet, diarist and creative writing teacher, Kathy Kituai ...
