Alice's Restaurant
While the title track may seem, by now, a rather obvious and nostalgic relic, we'd do well to remember that an entire post-baby boom generation has likely never heard it. At 18 minutes, the song remains one of the most hysterical things ever recorded, and many of its politcal barbs can still sting. But the record also contained two far more lyrical pieces: "Chillin' of the Evening" and the gorgeous, sweeping "Highway in the Wind." Some will turn to this countercultural classic for side one's epic, but it's the exceptional songs on side two that will offer finer rewards. --Roy Francis Kasten more

I recently saw Arlo Guthrie in concert and when he did Alice's Restaurant, I came away slightly disappointed and determined to find the original. This one is it! Arlo himself even rushes through the song he's been stuck singing all...

- The original Arlo.
Listening to Alice's Resturant on Thanksgiving is a tradtion in my home. This year we had the pleasure of listening without the scratches from my vinyl LP. Of course I will keep the album, it is a part of our family.

- Not proud, or tired
Love it! The only complaint I have is that the best track on the album is also the first. Not that the others aren't good, but let's face it: "Alice's Restaurant Massacree" is a tough act to follow! To some, this song may sound dated,...

I have seen Arlo in concert a number of times. This CD is totally brilliant, but to get the full experience you must see him on stage doing these songs.This CD is a gem. It is funny, insightful, and a just plain joy to listen to. I...

- Not the Soundtrack
Amazon lists this as the soundtrack but it is in fact Arlo's original album. The soundtrack I had on vinyl and included the great song by Joni Mitchell "Song's to Ageing Children". But this is still the better deal because the version...
