Black Keys Live at the Crystal Ballroom

Black Keys

Nonesuch, 2008

Powerfully impressive; Raw
For waht it's worth, I am a fairly new fan of The Black keys. I have been searching for this sound for a long time and I am so happy I finally found it. This video will not fail to rock your soul. Since viewing this video, I absolutely have to see this band live. Lucky for me, they are playing in Chicago on New Years eve and day and we got tickets (very excited). These two are magical ...

Rhino / Wea, 1997

Great for dance practice
Excellent variety of foxtrots and waltzes for dancing practice. All waltzes are grouped together at the end of the recording. Great value.

AAO MUSIC, 2005

Some fun "1970 style" cha chas
Okay, I agree with an earlier reviewer that this is not first-rate Latin America cha cha. In fact, it isn't even the best of the best for ballroom cha cha. The vocals aren't by the original artists. I agree especially that the last two tracks are not very useful. But it is NOT all synthesized or "electronic." Speaking from the "rarified atmosphere" of ballroom dancing, this album has some fun ...

Two Step for beginnings Vol !
From the wild wild west of Wyoming. This is an easy to learn 2 Step DVD. Once you get this one, you will be hooked. You might as well get the 2 step 3 pack and save some money. My husband and I are pretty good two steppers and started with the advanced 2 step DVD, then ordered the beginner to see what we missed. I think it is great for beginners or advanced. **Stand the way they tell you too** ...

Jason Mraz

Elektra / Wea, 2004

Live is Wonderful
Jason Mraz live is the best thing that ever happened to anyone who is a fan of Mraz. I have the pleasure of having this CD first then actually bought his first CD. His live versions are so much better than his studio recording, you can tell how talented of a vocalist, Mraz really is. I know most people do not like the screaming fans in the background, but when I listen/watch the CD/DVD, I could ...

AAO MUSIC, 2005

Wonderful foxtrots for all occasions
Almost every track is a winner! I enjoyed listening to the entire disc. This is all good stuff for practice and dance parties. Some of the tempos feel pretty slow and so they will challenge your strength and balance. Tracks 1-5 are beautifully performed by an unnamed female vocalist. "Unforgetable" is sung as a duet, but this is not Nat and Natalie Cole. Tracks 9, 10, 14, 15, 16, and 18 are ...

Burn the Floor DVD
This is a fabulous dance video!! The special feature about how the video was made is fascinating. I'm glad I purchased the DVD so that I can see it again anytime.

Gold Star Ballroom Series: Rumba

AAO MUSIC, 2005

Very impressive and fun for the money
What a pleasant surprise to find so many beautiful rumbas for this price. The disc was produced in Holland in 2003. With the exception of Johny Guitar, every track has vocals. (It would be nice to know who sings the lead vocals). The titles are listed with both the duration and the beats per minute (bpm). The tempos vary from 23-27 bpm. In a couple cases (noted below), the beat will be difficult ...

Goldstar Ballroom Dancing - Waltz
I ordered this CD so that my boss could dance to a certain waltz on this CD that he had learned to dance to at a professional studio. It had to be the same waltz and it was. And I can tell you when he danced with his oldest daughter at her wedding recently to this waltz, it was heavenly and the most beautiful part of the wedding. He insisted he wasn't going to dance but then decided he must ...

AAO MUSIC, 2005

Great Selection of Hot Sambas
I will enjoy listening to this great selection of vocal sambas again and again. And it makes me want to dance! If the disc insert listed who the artists are, I might even give it five stars. There are several editions of this disc (2003, 2005, 2006) and they all seem to be the same. Shop wisely! The tempos range from 49-54 measures per minute. All but five of them fall within competition ...

The Amazing Rhythm Aces

Collector's Choice, 2000

Toucan Do It Too/Burning the Ballroom Down
Two of the top Three albums this group made. Maybe the top 2. The musicianship heard here is rarely felt or heard today. The only thing that was ever bad about these albums, was they did not get publicized well enough.

What can you say about CCR. Absolutly amazing. I own over 40,000 songs and this is one of my top 5 bands being that they are so original and you can tell they love their music. I love punk rock, grunge, and classic rock and these guys really are in their own genre. I love their remake of "Wanna rock'n'roll" This is really the CD you need to check out if you haven't heard these guys before... ...

Strictly Ballroom Dancing

Solid Gold, 2005

41 well recorded tracks
All of the tracks are played by the Dennis Hayward Orchestra. If you like the Columbia Ballroom Orchestra, or the Swiss Ballroom Orchestra, buy this double album! There are 41 well recorded instrumental tracks with carefully measured tempos. You will enjoy practicing to this music and for just 30 cents a tune! There is a full orchestral sound in the waltzes and foxtrots on the first disc. The ...

Step By Step Ballroom Dances DVD

TUTM/Drew's Famous, 2009

THE BEST
Drew's Famous Step by Step Ballroom Dancing is the best dance DVD I have seen. The name says it all, step by step instructions. Very precise, easy to understand and shows footwork for both men & women. It even has a practice section where you can see how it should look as you practice along. I hate to repeat myself but, out of all the Dance DVD's I have seen this one is the BEST for all the ...

Coheed and Cambria

Sony, 2005

A fresh breath on great songs
While Live at the Starland Ballroom isn't a regular album from the great artists in Coheed and Cambria, anyone who enjoys their work can find much to enjoy at these live performances of some of their best songs from their first two albums (The Second Stage Turbine Blade, and In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3). A great addition to any Coheed infused library.

Neon Ballroom
I was hesitant about buying this album. Alot ob people say there first two albums are there best and after that they changed there sound. Which is true. But, if you seperate ther careers into the first three and the last three albums, this does fit in the same vein as the previous two. This to me a bridge album, meaning you can see where they where headed but they hadn't got there yet. If you ...

Squirrel Nut Zippers

Fontana Mammoth, 2000

Influences Come From All Over
I never saw a contract or specification saying that the Squirrel Nut Zippers had to play Dixieland or Swing, or any other kind of music on their albums. Like most other bands, they play what they feel compelled to play. On this particular CD they play Southern-Influenced music that is not like previous albums. Some record buyers want bands to turn out same-sounding records so that when they ...
