Free Music Notes for Two Classic Albums from The Amazing Rhythm Aces: Stacked Deck/Too Stuffed to JumpFree Music Review: PIORALIA Hit: 5 StarsIf you don't own every note these guys have ever put down you're missing a lifetime bet. These two are such a bargain - there were times when we would've paid 10 X [dollar amount] to get this stuff. Buy it all - anything you can get your hands on - immediately. And while you're at it get all the single Russell Smith stuff, too. Then get on the tape traders web sites and get all that stuff, too. Then just sit back, grab a cold drink of your pleasure, put your feet up and let it flow for a long, long time. They get a PIORALIA rating - put it on random and leave it alone - the highest rating in the system and reserved for the select few.
Free Music Review: Some things are just built to last ... Hit: 5 StarsThis music just never gets tired or tiresome. Unlike the majority of stuff I bought on vinyl, back during the underground FM radio "wonder years," I can never cue the Aces up without letting the whole album play.
Free Music Review: Pure Pleasure Hit: 5 StarsIn the mid to late 1970's, WHN in NY was a country station that introduced me to Third Rate Romance, The End is not in sight,and Amazing Grace used to be her favorite song. I loved those songs then, and after NOT hearing them for 20 years bought this collection. This was truly a great, multi-talented country-rock group. They had a dry humor in their lyrics - Emma-Jean is hilarious and musically catchy - I cannot fathom why the radio stations don't give these guys their due. Third rate romance sounds better than ever. This versatile group has shades of Willy Nelson, Marshall Tucker, John Fogarty, Derek & the Dominos and Sam Cooke. They were adept at country, swamp rock, soul, Country Gospel etc. I simply cannot stop playing this collection. My, what a contrast to the cookie-cutter cardboard no-talents with black cowboy hats that Nashville churns out today. Long live the Rhythm Aces. Treat yourself to this musical pleasure.
Free Music Review: Addendum Hit: 5 StarsI would add to the foregoing only that Russell Smith is one of the great laconic country singers in a long time. Think Ernest Tubb, Hank Snow and Carl Smith.
Free Music Review: Amazed At The Aces Return!!!!! Hit: 5 StarsThrough the years of 1975-1977, as a teenager I heard a song called "The End Is Not In Sight" and was in awe that a country band could sound so good. Now 20 years later, after reminiscing with a friend about groups of the past, we both agreed that the group :The Amazing Rythm Aces" put out some unique hits during those years this started me on a two year quest to find the missing Aces. This year having searched in vain for original recordings of the Aces, my quest ended. This compilation of original recordings contain the real deal, not re-done versions. The sound quality is adequate, but your also transferring music from the 70's that was normally heard on AM radio to CD's, quite an accomplishment. If you were looking to find these missing country hits you need to look no further, this is it! The people involved in accomplishing this feat deserve our thanks. This will truly satisfy your nostalgic taste buds. Thanks again everyone. Michael J. Law
