5.0 out of 5 stars I'd give six stars if I could., February 18, 2000

This review is from: Tell Me Something: The Songs Of Mose Allison (Audio CD)

This album finally arrived today after my long and eager wait. I think I've played it at least six times already! "Songs of Mose Allison" oozes charm and it will put a smile on your face and a skip in your step. I have been a fan of Van Morrison's music for some time and now thanks to him I've realized the amazing talent of Mose's songwriting. Who knows, maybe some day soon my collection of Mose Allison's albums might rival my collection of Van's...

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible recording!, March 10, 2008

I do not know what got into "Penguin Egg" or what he was really expecting out of this recording, but let me counter his negativity regarding Van Morrison.

First off, this is one of the most astonishing recordings I have ever heard and I do live recording myself. The musicianship is of the highest calibre and the singing, to me at least, is top-notch, not what is inferred by "Penguin Egg" at all. Van is in GOOD FORM! BELIEVE IT!

The recording seems to have been done mostly live to recording media, and to me personally, sounds an awful lot like it might have been mostly analog in origin, not digital.

If that is not the case, considering the vintage of the recording, it is a milestone in digital recordings during that era.

Kick back and enjoy this one! I listen mostly via headphones, and all I can say is that this one is AWESOME sounding, not doubt about it at all. And the dynamics? The recording was supremely produced and and really quite dynamic, as well. The heck with that funky MP3!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Introduction to Mose Allison for the Unenlightened, June 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Tell Me Something: The Songs Of Mose Allison (Audio CD)

This is great music, plain and simple. Played by musicians who know and appreciate one of the best song writers of the century.

If these CD doesn't put a smile on your face, and make you sing-a-long, nothing will.

Long Live Mose Allison!
