 (6 Customer Reviews)
Although they'll forever be best known Stateside for one of the most action-packed videos to ever grace the MTV airwaves -- the jailbreak-themed "On the Loose" -- Canada's prog-popsters Saga have carved a pretty comfortable niche for themselves in other parts of the world, where their albums continued to sell steadily over the years. And their last album to feature longtime singer, Michael Sadler, 2007's 10,000 Days (not to be confused with the Tool album of the same time), shows that the group was still able to offer albums on par with their best work right up until the end. While it features a more modern production, the songwriting and much of the instrumentation is straight out of 1982 (in fact, in many cases, 10,000 Days could have easily been issued as the follow-up to their 1981 hit album, Worlds Apart). Sadler is in fine voice throughout (which makes his exit from the band a bit puzzling -- it isn't like he is having a hard time hitting the high notes), while the group's secret/underrated weapon remains guitarist Ian Crichton. An impressively consistent album -- especially the opening one-two-three punch of "Lifeline," "Book of Lies," and "Sideways" -- the Sadler-led version of Saga certainly went out on a high note with 10,000 Days. ~ Greg Prato

10,000 Days Music Review Average Rating: (4.2 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews One super song then........
I've been a fan of Saga since the early 80's. Except for one or twp song, I feel this album falls short of their true potential...with is enormous. Lifeline is a fantastic song with great energy and hooks. I will never tire of this song. 10,000 songs is the second best sond. That's it. This is a band I simply want to love. But this cd just isn't happenin' for me.

 great album
I did not know what to expect.Well,I did not expect much,since this was their last album with the big guy himself.Well,I love this one.This is a great Saga album in every way.Too bad ,Mick Sadler is gone.He will be a big nobody on his own and I don't think Saga can survive without him.Anyway,thanks for the 25 years of joy to listen your music and good luck in the future.We'll miss you!

Being this is Michael Sadler last effort wiht SAGA, it is a worthy one. I disagree with Michael from East Hartford, CT on this one. THe whole album is very good if you compare to post WORLDS APART. Face it SAGA has changed over the years and for being their last effort, it is worth buying to show your support for a band that is still around for more than 25 years and has givev the world some memorable tunes. All the best SAGA, we will miss your music.

THIS GROUP IS ULTIMATELY UNDER RATED - THE GENERAL PUBLIC DOES NOT HAVE THE MUSICAL MENTAL CAPACITY FOR LISTENING TO SAGA - MEANING THE VARIETY OF STOP AND GO AND MELODIC TRAFFIC EACH SONG CONTAINS - #1-2-4 SONGS ON 10,000 DAYS ARE SIMPLY WONDERFUL, SUCH A DRIVING FORCE - LISTENED CLOSELY TO SADLERS VOICE HERE IN PUERTO RICO JUST THE OTHER DAY AND IT WAS STILL STRONG - LONG LIVE SAGA

10,000 Days songs
$12.95
Jonell Mosser has made a name for herself being a backup singer to artists all over the world -- from Etta James and Rodney Crowell to Joe Ely, Waylon Jennings, and Keb Mo'. On her third outing -- named after her backing band -- Mosser takes the production reins in her own hands, along with guitarist Tom Britt. Musically, Mosser and her skyline voice take on material from the blues -- her own "Red Head Woman" to the balladic soul of Bill Withers' "When I'm Kissing My Love," to a truly amazing, and possibly definitive, reading of Nick Lowe's "When I Write the Book." Having made a reputation as a backing vocalist has worked to Mosser's advantage rather than against her. While it's true she spends much of her time working with artists in the country field and lives in Nashvegas, she has had the time to develop her voice to adapt to many different kinds of material. The singer on Enough Rope resembles the restless and fearless Delbert McLinton, not content with genres, only with songs that have yet to give up their secrets -- no matter how many times they've been recorded. Mosser's reading of Dana Cooper's "Boney Man" wrings all of the darkness from the song, and makes it creepy to be inside your own skin; there aren't any acrobatics here, only the nakedness of the song's protagonist telling the truth, which is enough to make you leave the light on at night. In sharp contrast, "Only the Here & Now" is a greasy bit of funky R&B tinged with L.A. reggae. Timbales pop subtly under Mosser's voice, which croons and then moves deeper into the depths of her belly where it resides, and when she belts out "You and I have found the road to here/And I can feel our destination near/We can find the love, I know we can," you believe her without question. You want to answer "yes" to the bass and chunky guitars as she gets to the top and lets her voice crack, as if to emphasize how deep the truth in her belly goes and how hot the fire of that truth burns. She follows this with a contemporary Christian pop song and turns it into a paean of passion and commitment. By the time she closes the disc with Paul Thorne's "Resurrection Day" (not a Christian song), you know there's no need for one. From the opening acoustic guitars, and her plaintive, sweet country singing to a love moved from the bed to memory, to the end where resolve becomes everything when the house is empty save for the sound of your own lonely voice. Fiddles sway and croon, and guitars wind ...
| | Crooked Jades Seven Sisters: A Kentucky Portrait CD (2001)
10,000 Days album
$18.99
It will only take a few notes to let the listener know that the Crooked Jades are the real deal. Sure, their brand of old-time music, harking back to the '30s and '40s, will probably never make it on CMT. This fact, however, shouldn't deter lovers of old-time music from seeking it out. The 20 pieces that grace Seven Sisters: A Kentucky Portrait never slavishly copy original sources, which means the band isn't afraid to put their own stamp on a song. And while they offer nice takes on classics like "Moonshiner" and "I Wish I Was a Single Girl Again," they also tackle a number of rarities. The band's unique arrangements and multiple vocalists give the band an edge. Lisa Berman's Hawaiian slide work stands out on "Miner's Child" and "Letters Edged in Black," and she's also a fine vocalist, whether singing lead or harmony. Bassist Martha Hawthorne sings a lovely lead on both "Little Bessie" and "She Lied to Me," while guitarist Jeff Kazor, who sings the greatest number of leads, offers vigorous versions of "Cumberland Gap" and "Hard for to Love." The spacy arrangements evenly layer the oddly tuned banjos, lonesome Dobros, and multiple voices. This means that even when a particular cut has a guitar, banjo, and mandolin, the Crooked Jades take things at a much more leisurely pace than an old-time band like the Skillet Lickers. Seven Sisters: A Kentucky Portrait originated as a soundtrack to the movie of the same name, but the music holds up quite nicely by itself. The Crooked Jades have concocted a potent mix of traditional material, both varied and genuine, that will appeal to old-time ...
