Golden Age Songs And Instrumentals (Legendary Hollywood) - Various Artists

Advantages: Great jazz tunes from the Golden Age
Disadvantages: None

...guitar to back a song sung by man asking "Whose Honey Are You?" Indian Summer, by Sidney Bechet is a simple jazz refrain, which is as warm and as welcome as an Indian Summer. Sidney Bechet, feel some people, is one of the neglected heroes of the Golden Age of Jazz. He should not be. Art Tatum's Stormy Weather is a good tune, much performed down to this day by score upon score of artistes. This version is a good, simple version of this classic tune. Just played on the piano, using a lilting style that is fully conversant with the jazz idiom. I paid about £5.00 for this, check on Ciao for the current price using the Ciao price comparison service.... Read review

The guitaring on this track is truly amazing with a 3-part harmony performed by Robert Flynn (multi tracked of course) all in all an amazing song. Dawn Of A Golden Age - I am not a huge fan of this song it has an amazing shred solo and although the vocal line is good I just don't like Dani Filth's style of singing or the death metal genre particularly. The Rich Man - This song is clear spit in the face of George W. Bush for his oil/war mongering in Iraq. The intro is full of facts about the war and what it has cost the American government to do it.
