5.0 out of 5 stars The best 'alterered state' listening of all time, February 12, 1999

By A Customer

Anyone who went through the 70's in a haze...whatever the cause...can rejoice because the music that carried you through is back again! Why the Aces were never more popular commercially is as much a mystery as why the majority of those polled believe Clinton is doing a "good job" as President. Della's Long Brown Hair, best appreciated around a campfire in a Central Oregon Meadow after too much Bailey's or some such, on a night when the sky is spangled with stars, you've caught some natives or come close, and your border collie/lab cross is finally exhausted from too much 'fishing' and frisbee, is the ultimate song on about 7 levels...if you don't like this album you're no friend of mine!

5.0 out of 5 stars A well disguised gem, January 8, 2002

By	T D Jones (Grays, Essex Great Britain) - See all my reviews

I had overlooked this record, assuming it was a re release of selected tracks from old recordings. Fortunately, I read the sleeve notes for Sunday Best and found out it was a reworking of their favourite songs in time to get possibly the last copy in the UK (It disappeared from the list the day after I bought it)

Rating it was difficult. For curiosity value it's definitely a 5. Musically it jars a little like some live recordings with different treatments of familiar songs, but I'm sure it will grow on me. (I've only played it 3 times since it arrived today)

The selection of songs and the way they are changed is interesting. Tracks span almost the whole range of their original career, emphasising the Country side of their music.

Real gems are King of the Cowboys and Last Letter Home where extra verses are added although KotC lacks some of the power of the original recording. Most recent song tackled is Rodrigo, Rita and Elaine, an unusual choice when Homestead In My Heart would have probably been a more suitable country song from that album. Listening to Russell Smith sing in the female verses on this song made me keen to listen to the original with Joan Baez and Tracy Nelson which, fortunately, I also bought when it was released on CD recently.

For collectors this is a piece of history, but those who like the country side of the ARA sound would be better off buying Russell Smith's Sunday Best CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars A long awaited and anticipated collection of old favorites., January 30, 1999

By	[e-mail] (Brighton, Colorado) - See all my reviews

Like a long lost friend spotted from accross the room, this album takes me back to some of the songs that I fell in love with in the 70's and 80's. A sampling of some Aces standards, with some subtle changes. I'd have liked to have heard a more faithful version of Rodrigo's ballad, however the extra verse in The Last Letter Home is a real treat. Having these guys back together again is an answer to my prayers. Makes me long for more digital recordings of other old Aces classics. How about it Guys?
