Free Music Notes for Songbird: Rare Tracks and Forgotten Gems
Free Music Review: Buyer beware!
Hit: 4 Stars
I just received Songbird and was struck by the beauty of the package and the hardbound book with the songs, musicians, etc. (Didn't see any pictures of Emmylou with Gram Parsons.)
However, when I got to the heart of the package (the cds and dvd), I just stared in horror at the packaging and am still trying to figure a way to get the cds out of their slots intact without destroying the packaging. Even cutting won't be easy.
I cannot believe these geniuses who designed this packaging couldn't predict the problems. Obviously, they never tried opening the package once it was done.
Incredibly stupid and another finger in the eye of the poor consumer. Shoddy jewel cases and now shoddy packaging (at top dollar).
If I can ever get the cds out and can listen to them, will report back on the music.
Right now it's back to figuring a way to access the treasures.
Free Music Review: PACKAGING
Hit: 4 Stars
I do agree with people who are complaining about the packaging; why does Rhino--which CATERS to the collector--put together such shoddy packaging?
Hip-O Select has SLEEVES, which keep the surface of the cd pristine. That said, I'm obsessive compulsive, and also PRACTICAL...take the cds out ONCE, and put them in slim-line jewel cases. I do that with all cds that come in cardboard; I even do it with cds and dvd that overlap in cramped box sets. THAT WAY YOU'RE NOT TAKING THEM IN AND OUT OVER AND OVER AGAIN...practical, right? That said, Emmylou Harris is amazing.
Free Music Review: Please sort packaging of CDs OUT!!!
Hit: 4 Stars
Yep the music cannot be beaten. It is a truly wonderful 4 CD and 1DVD set...However, trying to get 2 of the discs out of the packaging without ripping the card covers is nearly impossible! WHY? Bring back the jewel case for god's sake. TOTALLY frustrating.
The same complaint goes for most recent releases using card as opposed to jewel cases. Even digipak was better than this!
Love ya Emmy.
Free Music Review: Mostly already realeased and the packaging is horrible
Hit: 4 Stars
You can't go wrong with Emmylou BUT there really aren't that many unreleased tracks to make it worth the avid fan's money and enough can't be said about how difficult it is to get the bloody CDs out without ripping the "box". Falling is a Deep Hole is pretty awesome, though!Free Music Review: Mellow and Classy
Hit: 4 Stars
It's hard to go wrong with 4 cds and one dvd of Emmy Lou Harris. These are not out takes, most are well-produced for projects that weren't finished..though there are some up tempo selections, the vast majority are slow, mellow..as always with Harris her duets are great
