Not many old standards.

I was disappointed in the selection of songs as I was hoping for many of the old standards.  There are only a few songs that I knew.

One of the better Road pictures IMHO. There's some dated humor, sure, but delivered with the usual charm and gusto. Fun for older adults and something new for the kids.

It's ok but not as the 30's version from the same publisher.  I assume things were just more basic during the WWII era.

but it is pretty much standard. That's not to say bad at all, just not standout. Given the guys, you'd expect just a little more, you know? Good musicianship and vocals.

I'm sounding harsh even to myself, but I miss old Sammy and even old Van Hager.

Just missing that...little bit extra.

For some, change is good; others want to return to the 'good old days'.  I was entertained while reading this story. I do not tend to rip a writer for using literary license and making the story work in it's own context, regardless of the accuracy. Fiction can be realistic. The politics and military postering is good too.

They're alright. Older versions of slip ons were better.

There is no room in the short stories to develop each character. And the style is old by our standards, slow pace and some times predictable. But many of the stories are compelling none the less. Classics that inspired many of the more recent works of literature, and are no doubt worth reading.

A quaint old fashioned book by today's standards but the quality of the writing and the insightful stories (fables?) make it a pleasure to read.  Some topical books do not hold up well over time but this is a gentle exception.

Remember the days before compact discs really took off where you would compare the first and second sides of an LP or a cassette? More often than not, the first side would be the stronger side (usually the singles were on that side) but the second side would also have some good tunes. To me, Bad Company's Holy Water album is a great example of an album where the first half was great and the second half was not even close to good. Coming off the surprising success of their previous release, Dangerous Age, Holy Water bears little resemblance to their glory years of the `70s except underrated guitarist Mick Ralphs' tasty leads. However, the band did well on Side 1. Yes, this is corporate rock but there are some great choruses and hooks on the hit "Walk Through Fire" and the title song as well as the strong album tracks "Stranger Stranger" and "Fearless". "If You Needed Somebody" would become one of their biggest hits and is one of the best power ballads of the era. As for side two, nothing really grabs you. And it's not like the songs are terrible, they're just competent and really dated. Many would say the first side hasn't aged well but I disagree. No, it's not on the level of "Bad Company", "Feel Like Makin' Love", and "Shooting Star", all of which have aged like a fine wine, but it's sad that you don't hear "If You Needed Somebody" anymore. Side 1 is worth downloading as this was as good as the Brian Howe years would be. And if you can find this cheap somewhere, it's worth buying.

OK, many older cards. If these are your era then good selection.

I don't understand why the OG is so hard to find now.  This one is ok, but I prefer the classic amounts and familiar properties of the old one.

There is some fine material on this album, like "Sins Of Omission,"  but I don't feel that it has the same punch as earlier albums.  The leads are still wonderful though.

I have looked for this album at retail stores and there does not seem to be great deal of demand. Nice to find the old favorates.

I hadn't had this in several years, but, it was quite good.  Some things never need to change.

I listened to Dave Van Ronk's old Folkways records a LOT growing up - most of these songs I have not heard in years.  There are enough good songs to make this CD worth owning ("River Come Down" is a particular favorite of mine).  My 12-year-old enjoys the same songs I enjoyed at his age: "Yas-Yas-Yas", "Willie the Weeper".  A number of the old folk tunes sound so amateurish to me now they are painfully embarassing to listen to: "Saint James Infirmary" for example is just awful.  Nevertheless this is a good collection and a good example of a genre that was extremely popular during the Folk Revival of early 60s.

Some parts are still funny today as dated as it is.

It's effective for what it is, though now it's a bit outdated. Nothing is wrong with it in any regard, it has simply been outclassed
