Urban Cowboy

Urban Cowboy


Starring:John Travolta, Charlie Daniels
Studio: Paramount
Product Type: DVD

Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video
John Travolta traded in disco duds for a cowboy hat in this corny love story about a working man who breaks up with his girlfriend (Debra Winger), then plays out their relationship's turmoil inside a huge honky-tonk called Gilley's. The story essentially parallels Travolta's prior hit film, Saturday Night Fever, in its blend of ordinary life, incomplete relationships, and personal pride channeled into niche stardom at a neighborhood club. But for all its regional flavor, Urban Cowboy never enjoys the immediacy and urgency of Fever, and after awhile you can't help but feel bemused by the macho silliness of ongoing "mechanical bull" competitions (basically a faux rodeo device only brave men can master at great chiropractic risk). The Travolta-Winger relationship is pure soap, as well. But this film really is a kind of time-capsule piece on a lot of levels--notably Travolta's career and late '70s Western kitsch--and while it's silly, it's certainly not disagreeable. --Tom Keogh

3 out of 5 stars LOOKING FOR LOVE IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES.......2007-04-11

I am someone who would rather watch "Urban Cowboy" than "Saturday Night Fever". Maybe because it doesn't feel as dated as SNF?..I don't know. It is a more entertaining film to me. I know this movie has taken a lot of flack, but it is one of those films you can watch once in a while. The DVD transfer is good, but a very weak release in the way of extras.

5 out of 5 stars Urban Cowboy Movie on DVD must have.......2007-03-10

at last I found my Urban Cowboy movie... love the movie

4 out of 5 stars Great movie.......2007-01-08

I like the music in this novie, the acting is wonderful! This have been five stars but I'd like to see the place they made the movie, It's gone now.

5 out of 5 stars WORTH A MILLION STARS!!!.......2006-12-17

OMG I love John Travolta! This is hands down 1 of my favorite movies ever! This movie is a little inappropriate, but comon now, its John Travolta. Another great purchase is the soundtrack. I know that sountracks suck but this 1 is awesome! (and John is on the cover :)

5 out of 5 stars A terrific li'l album that evokes a fun period and flick.......2006-08-26

For those of us who came of age when "Urban Cowboy" introduced John Travolta to the world in his third iconic dance-man starring role (after Saturday Night Fever and Grease) in a productive three-year period, this soundtrack is an essential. We're all familiar with the big hits that populated this disc and dominated Top 40 radio in the early '80s, but I'd buy it solely for the haunting duet by Linda Ronstadt and J.D. Souther, "Hearts Against the Wind," that closes the show.

Product Description

LIVE BY REQUEST (ROGERS,KENNY)

Amazon.com

Though a little older and a little more gruff, Kenny Rogers is still a charmer who knows how to rope in an audience and keep them happily captive. Kenny Rogers: Live by Request (2001) is an hour and a half of the country artist's greatest hits and audience favorites backed by a tight and smooth band. Starting with an upbeat "Islands in the Stream" (solo, no Dolly), he sets the pace for a lively, friendly show. Following the usual format of A&E's Live by Request series, fans from North America call in to talk to Kenny and ask him to sing a song for them. Seventeen songs are featured, including "Daytime Friends," "Lucille," "Lady," "Coward of the Country," "We've Got Tonight," "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town," "Love Will Turn You Around," and, of course, "The Gambler." Kenny fans will adore this easygoing performance of popular tunes. --Dana Van Nest

5 out of 5 stars Live version. Either you will love it or hate it. This is my second favorite Kenny Rogers album........2006-10-13

First I just want to say that I'm a big fan of Kenny Rogers so I might be biased but I'll try to be objective.

This is the live version of his album. every song begin (on separate tracks) with an interview (or request by audience) by the MC about the next songs.

I've talked to several fans and they are split. some like it some doesn't like it but those who like it likes them a lot. so make sure you try them before you buy them.. if you don't like to listen to the introduction to the songs, you can burn to another CD (or Mp3 player) and skip all the introduction/request tracks.

I like the CD including the introduction tracks (between songs) because it makes me feel like I'm in the live concert. When I close my eyes, I can picture myself in the middle of Kenny Roger's concert (I know it's cheesy). Anyway, I'm listening to the CD now (it's playing Don't fall in love with a dreamer), while I'm writing this review. It's great.

the Pros (from those who likes it):
1. It's different from the original, something fresh and new.
2. Still the same great voice from Kenny though
3. Feels live when listening
4. Knows a bit more about Kenny Rogers (from the interview), his personality, and the history of each songs . Also some story/sharing from the requestor on why they request this songs.
5. One or two songs are not released in any other CD

the Cons (from those who hates it):
1. Not the original recording
2. some shorter version of the songs (not complete songs. i.e. missing a verse etc)
3. the request tracks between the songs are annoying

I personally like thi CD, it gives me something different (than all other Kenny Rogers CD), and it happen to have all (or almost all) the songs that I like. I would recommend people to get this CD.

For Kenny Roger's new fan, check out "21 Number Ones" album (this CD), "the greatest hit" album and the "Kenny Rogers live by request". Also check the new CD Water and Bridges. The song "I can't unlove you" is a hit.

Here are some of my all time Kenny Rogers favorite songs (almost all of them available in the "21 Number Ones" album. I call this list, Kenny Rogers essential:

The Gambler
Through The Years
Lady
Lucille
Coward of The County
We've Got Tonight (with Sheena Easton)
Crazy
Islands In The Stream (with Dolly Parton)
She Believes In Me
You Decorated My Life
Make No Mistake, She's Mine (with Ronnie Milsap)
Daytime Friends
Love Or Something Like It
Love Will Turn You Around
Morning Desire
The Factory
Twenty years ago
Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer (with Kim Carnes)
Ruby, Don't take your love to town
Buried treasure
I don't call him daddy
She's ready for someone to love her


--------------------------------------------------
Updated Dec 15th:
I went to see Kenny Rogers live recently (his greatest hits and chrismas song concert.) I had a blast, simply amazing. I recommend all Kenny Rogers fans to visit his concert Live at least once. (We never know how many more years he will do his tour but I do hope for many more years to come)

5 out of 5 stars Kenny Rogers - Live by Request.......2006-08-30

This is one of my favourite DVD'S - I think its great. Despite the talking to the callers with their requests I found the stories Kenny spoke about interesting. Good band and Kennys song SLOW DANCE MORE a new song for me - gets replayed!!

5 out of 5 stars If you love Kenny...........2003-02-03

My Mom is a huge Kenny Rogers fan and I bought this for her. She loves it and I must admit that I enjoyed it alot. A great gift for any Kenny Rogers fan.

4 out of 5 stars Warm and perfect.......2002-11-23

kenny Rogers performed this concert on a warm environment between his fans and his music lovers. He is great, romantic, and very carismatic. The only drawback is that every request is considered as a unique track. I think it will be better to make it with only song tracks. On conclusion this is the only available DVD for this great singer. Sound format is 5.1 which make the DVD more valuable.

5 out of 5 stars An Absolute Must for Kenny Rogers Fans!.......2002-02-11

Whether you are a die-hard Kenny Rogers fan (like me) or a casual fan, you will enjoy this DVD. We have a home theater, and I was thrilled with the superb sound quality and crisp picture quality of this DVD. Having seen Kenny in concert many times, I really enjoyed the spontaniety of this concert as Kenny fielded caller requests, and told short, interesting anecdotes about each song before singing it. There are also a couple of great duets with Linda Davis. In addition, those 'in-the-know' can even catch some glimpses of Kenny's wife, Wanda, and her twin sister in the audience. My only criticism is that I would have loved to have some DVD bonus options, like behind-the-scenes, etc., but none are provided.

The filming angles and closeness make you feel just like you are there...not like some in-concert videos that are far away or grainy. Like I said, if you are a Kenny Rogers fan, this DVD is for you!

This is a fun look at the music of a great cowboy & musician who really enjoys his music a good cross section of his work is on this DVD

4 out of 5 stars Much too little.......2005-10-17

Only 6 nice video's on this DVD. (Horsepower, Stampede, This cowboy's hat, Cadillac ranch, Life is a highway, For your love)
I've seen Chris LeDoux performing in Hanau, Germany, May 1996. The track "This cowboy's hat" reminds me on this great evening.
I still miss some of his greatest hits, especially "Honky Tonk World" and the duett with Garth Brooks "Whatcha gonna do...".
Naturally I miss some of my favorites. But the fact is, the price is small as the collection and for there's no returnity it's worth the money.

Description

Led by Larry Gatlin, the Gatlin Brothers are one of the most popular country groups in the music's history. Adopting the close harmony vocal techniques of the Louvins and the Everlys to the highly polished country-pop era, Larry and the Gatlin Brothers scored a number of hits during the '70s and '80s. Often, the group walked the line between intricate, inventive country and pure commercial material, which resulted in strong sales. Throughout the '80s, the Gatlin Brothers ran up a string of 15 Top 40 hits, including "Houston (Means I'm One Day Closer to You)," "Denver," "The Lady Takes the Cowboy Everytime," and "She Used to Be Somebody's Baby."

2 out of 5 stars disappointed gatlin bros fan.......2005-06-22

Should have stuck to the old saying 'you only get what you pay for'. this dvd should be entitled HIGHLIGHTS OF THE GATLIN BROS AT BILLY BOBS, TEXAS. Approximately 20 minutes of veiwing time, six songs only, virtually no banter included from Larry Gatlin. Sound and picture quality ok but doesn't appear to be up to the standard of other 'live from billy bobs' shows I have in my collection.I should have spent the extra 10 dollars and purchased the other concert listed.The problem is and I'm sure other purchasers have come across it on many occasions, the lack of information given e.g. track listings, length of concert, etc. I for one would probably purchase far more items if I could be sure of exactly what I was getting for my money.

Description

One of music's best song stylists, Crystal Gayle, in an unforgettable sixty minutes of music which includes her popular Don't It Make Your Brown Eyes Blue, as well as Half the Way, Talking In Your Sleep, When I Dream, Why Have You Left the One You Left Me For and more. .In 1999 "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue" was recognized by ASCAP as being one of the ten most performed songs of the 20th century. This groundbreaking HBO concert special has been viewed by millions.While still in school, she signed her first recording contact. Her debut single, "I've Cried The Blue Right Out Of My Eyes," was written by Loretta Lynn (already a star) and reached the Top 20 on the national country music charts. Three more singles were released over the next three years—all making an impact with radio and listeners. What next emerged was uniquely Crystal. Her warm, resonant vocal styling, individual as a fingerprint, captured the imagination and attention of audiences not usually tuned in and turned on by country music. There was an undeniable sophistication and a beguiling charm about her look and her voice that was a memorable imprint on every audience—every listener. Her first album project began a roll out of smash singles to come. "Wrong Road Again," (her first of many hit singles with producer Allen Reynolds) became her debut Top 10 record. "I'll Get Over You," became her first #1 single. By her fourth album, "We Must Believe In Magic," Crystal Gayle became the first female artist in country music history to achieve platinum album sales. Driving the engine of the album was the song that was to become her enduring career signature song to date: "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue." "Brown Eyes" opened the world's eyes to Crystal Gayle. She became a household name in homes, grand and small, from Louisville to Leningrad.

4 out of 5 stars In Concert - Crystal Gale.......2006-08-28

I purchased this album for nostalgic reason on Crystal Gale's style of singing and quality of her voice which I have heard often in my younger days. Her unique voice and style makes her a good sentimental singer with some touch of country and western.

Her singing of "What a Little Moonlight Can Do" and "Don't Make My Brown Eyes Blue" are my two favourites.

Only pity is that the audio recording is of mediocre quality possibly due to the time when the recording was made. Otherwise the album is pleasant to watch and to listen to the music.

3 out of 5 stars Sweet sparkly Crystal.......2006-02-04

I loved Crystal in the 70s and 80s. When she came to New York City to play in the Village at the Bottom Line, I went to see her three nights in a row.

Listening to this concert, one reaction I had was if Simon Cowell was judging someone with her talent, he'd fall on the floor. She is just so much better than anyone who ever performed on American Idol.

It's an enjoyable concert and it shows Crystal's excellent voice and her poise and charm. She was wonderful, and I bet she still is. I see that she is still performing.

I don't think she achieves greatness in this concert. For greatness, I'd be looking at Cyndi Lauper or Natalie Merchant more than Crystal, because they are so real, so unique, and Crystal is doing what she's supposed to do, smile, be a good girl, smile some more, exude charm, and smile a bit more.

That's what you call putting on a show, and that's what she's doing. Let's get everyone smiling and tapping their feet. Okay. It is what it is, and she's awfully cute and talented.

I always had a crush on Crystal Gayle. That's a native New Yorker talking. She's so purty.

5 out of 5 stars Nostalgic.......2005-04-04

This is an excellent quality film and a very classy concert. If you like Crystal Gayle you shouldn't be disappointed. You can't help but fall in love with her in this concert.

The Travolta DVD Collection collects three films from the beginning of John Travolta's career after he was plucked from the cast of the TV sitcom Welcome Back, Kotter. In Saturday Night Fever (1977), Travolta plays Tony Manero, a 19-year-old Italian American from Brooklyn who works in a humble paint store and lives with his family. After dark, he becomes the polyester-clad stallion of the local nightclub. Director John Badham captures the electric connection between music and dance, and also the desperation that lies beneath Tony's ambitions to break out of his limited world. The soundtrack, which spawned a massively successful album, is dominated by the disco classics of the Bee Gees, including "Staying Alive" and "Night Fever." The Oscar ®-nominated Travolta, in his first starring role, is incandescent and unbelievably confident, and his dancing is terrific. Oh, and the white suit rules.

In 1978, Travolta went on to Grease, an adaptation of the Broadway musical. With vibrant colors, unforgettably campy and catchy tunes (like "Greased Lightning," "Summer Nights," and "You're the One That I Want"), and fabulously choreographed musical numbers, the '50s-nostalgia story about the romantic dilemmas experienced by a group of graduating high school seniors remains fresh, fun, and incredibly imaginative. Travolta struts, swaggers, sings, and dances appropriately, while Olivia Newton-John's portrayal of virgin innocence is the only decent acting she's ever done.

Travolta traded in disco duds for a cowboy hat in Urban Cowboy (1980), a corny love story about a workingman who breaks up with his girlfriend (Debra Winger), then plays out their relationship's turmoil inside a huge honky-tonk called Gilley's. The story essentially parallels Saturday Night Fever in its blend of ordinary life, incomplete relationships, and personal pride channeled into niche stardom at a neighborhood club, and the film is really a time capsule on a lot of levels--notably Travolta's career and late-'70s Western kitsch.

good story line and i like the music alot

1 out of 5 stars how many times people can watch the same movies.......2002-11-05

Ok Saturday Night Fever is watchable if you got nothing else to do and it's on on the tv -- but buying it? And with those other 2 ... movies? Don't waste your money.

4 out of 5 stars Travolta In His Prime.......2002-10-09

This box set culls together three of John Travolta's most popular and successful films into one nice and easy package for fans of the man.

Grease has finally made its debut on the DVD format. The movie is a long time favorite thanks to countless airings on television that constantly brought in new fans of the movie who weren't even born when the movie was released in 1978. Adapting the immensely popular Broadway show to the big screen brought forth some changes. The theater production had a raunchier edge to it with much more overt ... nature. The film tones that side quite a bit, but it makes up for it in sheer exuberance. John Travolta was the hottest star in Hollywood at the time with the success of Saturday Night Fever on the big screen and Welcome Back Kotter on television. He is perfectly cast as Danny Zuko, the likable greaser and leader of the T-Birds who falls for the wholesome Sandy Olsen played by Olivia Newton-John in her big screen debut. Ms. Newton-John can clearly handle the singing side of the role, but her acting and dancing are suspect at best. Jeff Conaway adds the right amount of toughness as Kenicke and Stockard Channing is excellent as Rizzo, the tough as nails head of the Pink Ladies (Ms. Channing's singing is better than Ms. Newton-John's acting, but not by much and seems oddly out of place as a teenager). The films is full of actors and singers who were popular in the 50's like Frankie Avalon, Sid Caesar, Edd Byrnes and Eve Arden. Grease is extremely entertaining and pure fun to watch and is really the last success old fashioned movie musical Hollywood produced.

Saturday Night Fever was not only the film that made John Travolta a superstar, but also it defined the style of a generation. Disco started to infiltrate the music scene as early as 1974 (with hits like "Rock Your Baby" by George McRae). Discos were wildly popular in New York City by 1976 and they provided an outlet for the youth of the city to escape reality and dance away the night amid drinks, ... Inspired by an article in the New Yorker magazine that described the scene, producer Robert Stigwood wanted to capture it in a movie. He realized the music is what drove the discos and he recruited his biggest act, The Bee Gees to record songs for the film. This proved ingenious as the soundtrack and the movie are inseparable. Although the band does not physically appear in the film, they are the co-stars of the film with Mr. Travolta. The film and soundtrack became huge hits in late 1977 and into 1978 and disco moved from the urban cities to the heartland of America. The film itself seems a bit dated, but it is saved from being a complete period piece by Mr. Travolta's superb acting. He completely embodies the character of Brooklynite Tony Manero who works in a paint store during the week and lives to dance at the local disco on the weekends. At work and at home, he's a nobody, but at the disco, he is the king. The dancing scenes are classics and often imitated, but Mr. Travolta is the real deal on the dance floor. Mr. Travolta earned the first of his two Best Actor Academy Award nominations for the film and it was richly deserved. The soundtrack went on to spend 24 weeks at number one, spawn 4 number one singles and for a time was the biggest selling album in music history.

Urban Cowboy is an attempt to replicate the success John Travolta had with the disco scene with the country music scene that was burgeoning at the time in 1980. Whereas Mr. Travolta was perfectly cast as Tony Manero in Saturday Night Fever, he seems out of place as Bud in this film. The characters in the film, much like those in Saturday Night Fever, as working stiffs who escape the monotony of their lives by going to a bar to dance, drink and ride a mechanical bull. Instead of a discotheque, the main hang out is a honky tonk called Gilley's (which is a real bar owned by country music singer Mickey Gilley). The film revolves around the relationship of Bud and Sissy (played by a young Debra Winger) who meet at Gilley's. They fall in love, get married, separate as each go on dalliances with others and in the end get back together. While the film has some decent moments, the bull riding does get old after a while, a very fine soundtrack, it ultimately comes off as an attempt to recreate Saturday Night Fever and it doesn't succeed.

5 out of 5 stars Great Overview of Early Travolta.......2002-10-07

    1 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing !!!.......2007-06-27

    If you think that you're in for a treat with some lovely music, then I'd better warn you that you're in for a surprise. The whole DVD consists of 5 "not very good songs" and a lengthy documentary. I was so disappointed that I simply had to ask Amazon to return my money, which they did, very professionaly, in no time at all. I would have rather bought a DVD with maximum number of songs than a documentary. The worst part of this DVD on Amazon is that there is no mention whatsoever, of the number of songs or the titles or a synopsis etc... so I presumed it was good enough, being Bellamy Brothers; but I simply just had to return it.

    This is another example of buying a DVD because I liked a good song and was expecting the album to be as good as the one song I liked, it was not
