Juice Newton - Every Road Leads Back to You

Amazon.com

Combine some blasts from the past with a few brand-new songs, mix in an audience of friends and fans assembled for a special showcase gig, and you've got a recipe for a strong performance by singer Juice Newton and her band. Recorded in Los Angeles in 2001, the 16-song, roughly 75-minute show features Newton's brand of guitar-driven, crossover country music; not the world's most distinctive sound, perhaps, what with its oft-repeated themes of the heartbreak and sweet glories of love, but Newton is in fine voice, and the band is tight and rockin'. Some welcome variety comes at the end, when, after performing her two biggest pop hits ("Angel of the Morning" and "Queen of Hearts"), Newton brings out a horn section for a swinging "After Midnight" before closing with an a cappella "It's Late." --Sam Graham

Customer Reviews:

A VERY GOOD DVD CONCERT!!!!!.......2002-12-12

I WAS VERY UNFAMILIAR WITH JUISE NEWTON BEFORE VIEWING THIS DVD, HOWEVER THIS LADY REALLY CAN SING.
SHE SHINES ON ALL OF THESE SONGS AND IS BACKED BY A VERY IMPRESSIVE BAND. THE SOUND QUALITY OF THE DVD IS VERY GOOD IN 5.1 SURROUND.
NOTE:THERE ARE A FEW EXTRA FEATURES ALSO THAT ADD A BIT EXTRA TO THIS DVD!!
CHECK IT OUT!!

Bettern' Bein' There.......2002-04-30

This DVD has to be better than being there. You would never get as close as the camera does. What a well polished show. Excellent band. Ms. Juice is much better than I remembered. The sound is also very good on this disk. Maybe they are finally working the technical bugs out. I'll watch this one again!!

Bittersweet night before 9/11........2002-04-20

I had the pleasure of being at this fantastic show in LA on 9/10. What an amazing showcase for the talents of Juice Newton. Watching the DVD was almost as good as being there (and I know). As a longtime Juice fan I had never seen her live and was impressed by how beautiful she sounds live. As her partner Otha Young says in the behind the scenes feature, Juice sounds even better live. Her song selection is perfect, great new songs, and beautiful renditions of older hits. I especially was touched by her rendition of "Old Flame". What the dvd doesn't show is how Juice spent so much time and energy on her fans after the show signing autographs and talking. What makes watching this concert bittersweet is how the next morning after such a great night of song our world changed forever with the attacks of 9/11.
My only quibble with the dvd (and cd) are the lame graphics. The cover is bland and could have been much more exciting looking. The picture on the cover isn't even from the show. Oh well, it's the show that counts the most and THAT is excellent. Buy this DVD and enjoy the show!

Juice Newton's touring concert brought to you LIVE on DVD.......2002-04-07

If you are a Juice Newton fan, or would like to become one, you should attend one of the 100 or more concerts a year performed at venues all over North America. But if you cannot get to one, or would like to enjoy one in your living room, Juice and her group, the Regenerators have packaged up the "perfect concert" onto DVD. It is named "Juice Newton - Every Road Leads Back to You" after one of the brand new songs in the concert. The advantage of watching this concert on DVD is that you continually view the concert from the vantage points of a combination of five live cameras, so it is as if you are watching with five sets of eyes. The concert took place at the Key Club on Sunset Strip in California, on September 10, 2001 (one day before 9/11/2001). This DVD captures the essense of a Juice Newton concert, with the enthusiatic audience of many Juice fans. It brings you so close to the show that while watching at home, I felt like clapping and cheering after every number. This DVD is more than a concert production, it has an introduction showing the concert setup, and afterwards it has comprehensive interviews with Juice and her partner, Otha Young and her husband Tom Goodspeed, You can really get a feel for the personalities of these outstanding people. Also provided are audio tracks for four newly introduced songs.
By watching this DVD, you can get a good idea of what a treat you will be in for when you see Juice and her group live.

A terrific concert DVD...with lots of extras!.......2002-04-04

This DVD features a terrific 77-minute live show in which Juice Newton mixes several of her '80s hits with many new songs, making for a thoroughly up-to-date and enjoyable experience. Newton's records have never captured her vocal range, but this DVD showcases her considerable vocal talents quite well! Many of her most popular hits are included, such as "The Sweetest Thing," "Queen Of Hearts," "Hurt," and "Love's Been a Little Bit Hard On Me"...and Newton throws in an equal measure of newer material, making this DVD more about who she is as an artist than about who she was. The song choices range from folk to country to pop to big band to a terrific vocal quartet finale, all of which Newton handles with admirable panache...talk about a musically diverse performer!! The DVD also features a great interview with Newton and several important people in her life...it is great to finally get a glipmse of this private celebrity's personality. And this is one lady who knows her priorities, knows her business, and has her feet firmly planted on the ground. Another excellent feature is four new audio tracks, all of which are TERRIFIC. From the tender, moving ballad "Love Is Still Alive And Well" to the astonishingly delicate and powerful "If I Could, I Would," Newton showcases that while her days of being at the top of the charts may be behind her, she is producing her best music ever. Hopefully this amazing DVD will find a large audience. Newton's true talents have been a well kept secret for far too long.
