best compilation I've heard
It goes down easy, but still inspires me every time, and it has such a wide range of people -- from Pop Staples to Michael Franti. This is a compilation I actually still listen to. It introduced me to a few artists I hadn't heard, like Michael Franti and Dan Zanes & Friends. And all for a good cause. Not bad!.


Great diverse mix-soulful, groovy, upbeat & surprise ending!
Beefheart bit at the end is jarring but hilarious. Yeah, the Capt. According to the track notes (and you can read all about this cd & listen to some of the tracks at www. wherewelive. org) the Capt. sung it over the phone to the album's compiler and you can hear them laughing at the end! It's his first "recording" in years. . .

I think all of the tracks are considered hard-to-find if not impossible. This freshness makes all the tracks worthy, even if you know the artist inside out (like me & Willie Nelson). Some we're all just hungry for more of, like Norah Jones. Definately in the soulful & groovy category, nothing hard or pulsing. Good all-round anytime music.


Great Gift Idea for the Holidays
I hate shopping, especially during the holidays. 1.
2. One year I tried avoiding shopping by making a donation to a charitable organization in the name of family/friends, didn't go over too well. Nice thought. . . but let's face it, everyone likes opening presents.

This CD solves both my problems. Most compilation CD's usually have a few good songs, this one has a ton. A great variety of artists and styles, really has something for everyone.

My holiday shopping is going to be alot easier this year, and I'll be giving gifts to help a great cause.

Rare cuts, nice mix
Wow. I got a review copy for a newsletter I do. I usually don't go for compilations - but the mix here is really nice. (Beware the surprise track by Captain Beefheart at the end designed to wake you up. )

Need a groovy dinner disc? This is it. And for a good cause it seems.

Played this one for the girlfriend and she asked me to play it again. A rarity around my house.

Pick it up.


Good Cause, Better Music

But that, in fact, is beside the point. This is a magnificent collection of cuts from wonderful artists to benefit Earthjustice, the nonprofit environmental law firm that is busting its chops trying to stop the Bush administration from destroying all that is healthy and beautiful on this earth of ours. This eclectic compilation stands on its own. (It could as well have been called "Biological Diversity" as "Where We Live. ") The loose theme--save the earth--save ourselves, is carried through the performances by Norah Jones (a song called "Peace" that is not on her first CD), Bob Dylan ("Watching the River Flow"), Willie Nelson ("Living in the Promiseland"), Los Lobos ("What's Going On"), Mose Allison, Ruben Blades, Maria Muldaur and Bonnie Raitt, Tina Turner and Robert Cray, John Hammond and Tom Waits, Sweet Honey in the Rock, The Neville Brothers--I mean, what's not to like here?
Politics aside, this is a great collection.
