All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology.

On the big scale you can call this album Western music, but on individual cuts it throws you some curveballs. It has harmonies and rhythms reminiscent of the Sons of the Pioneers, and it also has stretches of country -- and they sure can yodel. With the Irish-flavored "Sidekick Jig," and the beautiful "A Border Romance," and "One More Ride" being main highlights, Great Big Western Howdy! covers wide territory. Fine vocals are contributed by everyone, but enhanced by the addition of Marty Stuart's cowbilly voice. There is also some of the finest three-part yodeling to be heard. Then, as if this isn't enough, there is the absolutely smoking mandolin break contributed by Stuart, after a fine fiddle break contributed by Woody Paul. This is a great release for one and all. ~ Bob Gottlieb

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Palindrome soothes the savage English teacher
As a retired English teacher I just had to have 'The Ballad of Palindrome,from 'A Great Big Western HOWDY! from Riders in the Sky.So, CD Universe it was. I had first heard the 'ballad' on Folk Alley and was very impressed by its cleverness. With no small amount of dread I decided to listen to the rest of the CD (my mind having conjured up a cacophany of yodeling and cringe-worthy cowboy twangs). I couldn't have been more wrong. The musicality of Riders in the Sky is impressive; their arrangements and harmonies are sublime throughout. My ex-colleagues have been equally intrigued by this CD. Riders rocks. A very entertaining CD. Michael McNeill

OTHER VOICES, OTHER ROOMS won the 1994 Grammy Award for "Contemporary Folk Album." Nanci Griffith has the kind of beguiling singing voice that's effortless and easily beautiful -- like a pretty girl who doesn't ever need makeup to be radiant. Sounding a little bit like Emmylou Harris is never a bad thing, but Griffith doesn't stop there. She duets with Harris and a host of other country ...

The sole album released by this group from Montreal, Et Cetera ranks among the finest items in Quebec progressive rock and remains a sought-after collector's item. The group benefited from a sleek production that enhances its rich arrangements and complex contrapuntal lines. This is as close as any derivative prog rock band got to Gentle Giant. Besides emulating the technique of their illustrious British masters, the Montrealers tapped into the essence of Giant-esque ...

Porter Records was a small label based in Phoenix, Arizona, founded in 1957 by country deejay Frank Porter, who'd previously written some songs and cut a few others. He had an ear for talent and good songs, and this CD represents the best of Porter's output and more -- 14 of its 29 tracks were never released prior to the issue of this CD. There are lots of impressive acts here, including the Rio Rockers, the Tads, Billy Adams, and Ward Darby -- theirs are edgy rock 'n' roll songs, with loud guitars and strong, raw singing, and any of their songs could easily have earned a place in the national Top 40, though none of them did and, indeed, only the Rio Rockers' "Mexicali Baby" and "Mexican Rock and Roll," and Adams' "You Heard Me Knockin,'" were ever released, among the sides by all four artists. Frankie Loren fared a bit better and might even have been Porter's answer to Elvis Presley, his range extending from pounding rockabilly, such as "Everyone Will Know," to the rousing white gospel of "His Wonderful Way." Porter's own "Ring the Wedding Bells" is a fine piece of country balladry, but for those with more visceral tastes, "Wolf Call" by Mark Anthony will fit the bill, with its driving electric guitar and rippling ivories beneath a vocal that matches its title without ...

CD $9.09  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
"Choices" won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance. COLD HARD TRUTH was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Country Album. "Choices" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Country Song. It's hard to believe that an artist could redefine himself five decades into his career, but that's what George Jones does here. It's not that he explores new stylistic ground. Rather, he casts off the overproduction and watered-down crossover attempts of his '80s/early-'90s work in favor of a focused, unfussy sound that evokes memories of his '50s heyday. Jones got into a bad car accident before finalizing his vocal performances for this album, so the rough takes were used, which gives a greater sense of intimacy and immediacy to COLD HARD TRUTH. His voice hasn't mellowed with age, but the bottom end of his ...
