![]() Ken Burns Presents: The West $99.99 This series on the old west is a must have for any old time wranglers out there that still are interested in, and or long for the days of cowboys, cattle drives, and beans and bacon. Quite honestly, one does not have much of a choice these days in locating a DVD collection about the old west. Most of what's available today pertaining to that era is based on novels, and fiction. This very authoritative, visually exuberant series is well done, and very interesting throughout despite its very obvious slant toward making all white men the bad guys, and all Indians and other blood thirsty war parties slaughtering settlers and what not simply misunderstood and having no other choice. Despite its very obvious bias, its still a most powerful and immensely entertaining documentary on a fascinating, but unfortunately all but forgotten time in our nations history. One thing that should be cleared up however, is that this is NOT a documentary directed by Ken Burns like the Civil War collection that this series bears a strong resemblance too in design. Ken Burns is merely the producer. Adding Ken Burns' name to this production adds some heavy authentication and quality to the production for all those that are familiar with his superb Civil War series. Although it is in no way up to par with that collection, it is still a series well worth your time and money in these days of the vanishing prairies of yesteryear.. ![]() The West Wing - The Complete Series Collection $299.98 If you're a fan of the show, you'll love the compact presentation of this DVD collection! ![]() West $13.98 The first time I can recall knowing about Lucinda was on a tribute to Gram Parsons show with the some of the best and well-known alternative country singers. I didn't pay much attention then and I knew of her as one who was in that crowd. I have so enjoyed this CD, I love her raspy voice, the lyrics filled with hurt, pain, loneliness, wonderment, sex, love and loss. Listening to this is like having her for a morning of conversation, telling you what is going on lately and with beautiful musical melody. Especially with Fancy Funeral, which I believe she had just lost her mother. There is a sweet tribute to her mother called Mama You Sweet. One of my favorites is Are You Alright? It's the craziness of love, when someone walks out on you, with no explanation, nothing. Listening to this is also like one long song, beautiful arrangements, sexy voice, and pleasing musical sounds. It's about the lyrics, her message, the tone.....Rizzo ![]() Into the West $39.98 Wonderful movie, Verytrue to real life of people and there struggles.
