Music reviews of The Magnificent Music Machine
Music Review: I too wondered if we'd ever see this on CD
Rating: 5 Stars
I too had this on vinyl (1976) and wondered if we'd ever see it on CD. The song "Bluegrass Breakup" has haunted me; I still knew the lyrics after all these years. In fact, I found the CD searching for that song for my iPod. I was thrilled to see it on CD and am thrilled to hear it again.
There is only 1 negative: a playing time of around 1/2 hour. Other than that there no bad songs, though some stand out above the others. "Fox On The Run" is the definitive performance of this song for me; "Catfish Blues" is fun; "Magnificent Music Machine" has great harmony singing; and "Molly and Tenbrooks" is played at break-neck pace by Hall's stellar bluegrass accompanists. "Molly" even features a cameo by Bill Monroe himself - who had never played mandolin before on this song (his own) according to the liner notes.
I don't even know why I bought this way back when - I thought of Tom T. Hall as a pleasant singer of mostly silly songs like "I Like Beer" and "I Love" - but it has stayed with me through the years. His voice blends great with the twangier bluegrass harmony singers (featuring Jimmy Martin), but does have a slightly more pop feel. The players, including J.D. Crowe, are great. It is great, great, great to have this on CD. If you are a country or bluegrass fan, I can't imagine your not liking this disk - buy it!
