This wonderful 1984 album was Van Dyke Park's first release in nine years. He made up for the wait with a timeless set of interlocking songs that draw upon Joel Chandler's 19th Century (but timeless) UNCLE REMUS stories. JUMP! is full of surprising twists, turns, and charms and is as rich as anything Broadway was producing on the musical front. Parks' music rolls out like a parade through Anytown, USA--or, rather, like the emotional impressions and memories of such a parade.
Each song has its own distinct character and leaves an unforgettable impression. In a perfect world, "Opportunity For Two," "Many A Mile To Go," and "Come Along" would be regularly celebrated standards. Parks tried to raise interest in a fully staged version of this song cycle. Sadly, a beautifully presented New York City concert attracted no such offers. But the rewards of JUMP! are plentiful, and the album is not to be missed.

When this album was released in 1968 it stood apart from everything else--and still does today. This is not because SONG CYCLE was ahead of its time--rather, it belongs to another time and place, a parallel world that draws breath irrespective of calendar, clock, or map. Van Dyke Park's debut carries an apt ...

Proceeds from THE WILDLIFE CONCERT will go to The Wildlife Conservation Society.
John Denver's Wildlife Concert presents the highlights of his career in 5.1 surround sound and equally crisp video. A string section accompanies Denver on favorites such as "Country Roads," "Rocky Mountain High," "For You," and "Annie's Song," giving the set a lush yet unpretentious feel that is mirrored by the wildlife footage also featured in the video. An interview with Denver and a biography round out this adequate DVD, which is basically a straight transfer of the original VHS version. However, Denver's crowd-pleasing performance alone may make this disc worthwhile for devoted fans. ~ Heather Phares
John Denver's first live album, An Evening with John Denver (1975), was a lavish two-LP set accompanying a network TV special, released at his commercial peak. His second live album, The Wildlife Concert, is a lavish two-CD set accompanying a cable TV special and home video, released at his commercial trough. Denver performs most of his Top Ten hits from the '70s (but not "Thank God I'm a Country Boy," the big hit off the last live album), getting the bulk of them out of the way early on the first disc. ...
| | Kate MacLeod Constant Emotion CD (1997)
Jump! songs
$15.05
One of the things that made the '90s folk scene strong was its diversity. At one end of the folk spectrum, you had the tough, hard-edged, Bob Dylan-influenced anti-folk of Lach and Adam Brodsky, and at the opposite end, you had the pastoral, gently reflective folk-pop of Kate MacLeod. The Salt Lake City-based singer/songwriter/acoustic guitarist thrives on subtlety on Constant Emotion, her second album. This fine sophomore effort lives up to the promise of her debut album, Trying to Get It Right, and MacLeod's writing is undeniably strong on originals that range from the haunting "Long Ride Home" to the moving "My Forsaken Love" and the sunny, sweetly optimistic "Talkin' About Good News." If you find yourself feeling jaded, pessimistic or bitter, "Talkin' About Good News" is a great song to listen to because it provides just the opposite perspective. But before you start thinking that MacLeod is incurably Pollyanna-ish, check out "Adam," a disturbing number that describes an unbalanced religious extremist who ends up in prison. Without hitting you over the head, "Adam" tells the character's story quite effectively. The only song on the CD that MacLeod didn't write or co-write is Buffy St. Marie's "The Pineywood Hills," which she interprets with appealing results. Like Trying to Get It Right, Constant Emotion made one wish that MacLeod were better known. ~ Alex Henderson
Kate was born in Baltimore, Maryland but raised nearby on the outskirts of Washington, D.C.Kate performed during her teenage years as a violinist in orchestras and chamber music groups but also fostered her strong interest in traditional music by playing fiddle and exploring the local music scene around Washington D.C.Kate moved to Utah in 1979 to study violin-making, but eventually returned to musical performances, being drawn deeper into the musical arts.Many of Kate's early songs were written while living in a small town south of Salt Lake City in a renovated railroad barracks without central heating or plumbing. Kate has performed as a fiddler with groups throughout Utah, playing old-time, celtic and bluegrass styles. Since 1997, Kate has worked solely as a full-time musician, and she has become a major folk music artist in the intermountain region. Kate considers the fiddle her main instrument, even though her songwriting has been, more recently, the catalyst for her career. She is an unpretentious songwriter whose lyric style is subtle, spare, and sometimes chilling. She delivers her music with strong vocals and guitar-playing, and exquisite fiddle-playing. Some of Kate's songs are based on historical events and written in a folk ballad style ...
