Like Nickel Creek and the Duhks (and Alison Krauss and Union Station before them), Crooked Still employ bluegrass elements as a springboard for an eclectic, expansive dynamic. Behind the sweetly ethereal and occasionally jazzy vocals of Aoife O' Donovan, the interplay of Gregory Liszt's banjo, Rushad Eggleston's cello (both bowed and flatpicked), and Corey DiMario's double bass gives the young New England band a sound that is closer to chamber-grass than hoedown. Though none of the material on this label debut is original, the transformations typically are, with the murder balladry of "Little Sadie" given a surprisingly sprightly reading, Bob Dylan's early "Oxford Town" taken at double-time speed, and Robert Johnson's "Come On in My Kitchen" sounding more meditative than bluesy. The band and veteran producer Lee Townsend enlist a number of guests for harmony and instrumental support, but it's plain that the drummerless quartet has the talent and musical vision to deliver on this album's considerable promise. --Don McLeeseCustomer Reviews:

i really like wayfaring strangers and have lent my wayfaring strangers cd's to friends and relatives. hardly anyone cares for them as much as i do and i understand that it can take some getting used to. crooked still is not like that. it is so accessible that i think just about anyone would like it and some people will love it.

On his third album, singer-piano thumper Phil Vassar has made a couple of wise choices. He brought his own band into the studio while spending more of his own studio time tickling the ivories. With entertaining and insightful piano ballads like "Gone by Dawn," "Amazing Grace," and the stirring personal anthem "Black and Whites," Vassar emerges as something of a contemporary country-pop answer to Billy Joel. He's a little less convincing on evanescent chart fodder like "What Happens in Vegas" and the lusty "I'll Take That as a Yes," but when he lets his obvious pop-rock influences roam free on the keyboard he sounds masterful and built to last. --Bob AllenCustomer Reviews:
Excellent Songwriter/Singer!!.......2006-05-14
Best Country Performer Ever.......2006-02-27
Best Yet.......2005-11-28
[...].......2005-11-05
Phil Vassar's country is different. Maybe it's the piano instead of the typical guitar. Maybe is the extraordinary energy of this performer coming out in his music or maybe it's the lovely, simple stories he tells with the songs he co-writes. Actually, it's all of these things, at least that's the case with Vassar's newest CD, Shaken Not Stirred.
At a CD release party in Lowell, MA in September, Vassar thrilled his audience with several cuts from the new album, including the first single and recent #1, "In a Real Love." This song is a great example of Vassar's rocking piano style and lyrics that create a visual picture for the listener:
"Well, I was 18 makin' minimum wage
With a letterman jacket and a Chevrolet
I thought I was cool, yeah, I ruled the school."
There are several songs that continue or build on the theme of a young man's dreams that have to give way to growing up. "I Miss the Innocence" is the best example of this loss:
"A crazy boy and a pretty girl
Man, life was simple then
Nothin' that we had to do
And no one to answer to
`Til reality stepped in
We're growing up
We've changed so much."
Vassar told the audience he spent six-months creating and recording the new CD. He co-wrote 10 of the 12 songs included on the CD. He also broke with Nashville tradition, using his own band members instead of studio musicians and writing with a variety of people including his bus driver. He talked about his early work experience as a bartender and that's the subject of the song "Here To Forget." Vassar loves to return to youthful themes, found love ("I'll Take That As a Yes"), getting over lost love ("Gone By Dawn") and shared plans that never seem to workout ("Dancin With Dreams").
The piano, always present in a Vassar song, is even more pronounced on this CD. Especially good is the country and jazz love song "Nobody Knows Me Like You" and, what Vassar claims is an "ode to my piano," the very blues-like "Black and White." This last is a real change in style and it works beautifully. It is obvious that the piano is more than an instrument for this singer - it's a second voice.

The Independence Day composer has gathered a batch of marquee singers--Chrissie Hynde, Pulp's Jarvis Cocker, and Iggy Pop included--to salute the Bond mystique. These songs are imbedded in the collective unconscious, and the over-the-top arrangements on the Aimee Mann-sung "Nobody Does It Better" and Martin Fry's "Thunderball" are a treat. Better yet are the electronic, club-ready tracks by Leftfield and Propellerheads (doing "On Her Majesty's Secret Service"). --Jeff BatemanCustomer Reviews:

Shaken and Satisfied!.......2006-07-20
is there a 0 - star for rating?.......2003-02-24
My goodness...this disk has, after a couple of listens, entered my never-to-be-played category!
Most of the covers are horrid. Nobody Does It Better was good, except for the LP-like scratching that is clear at the beginning (at least on my disk which is not actually scratched!)
The James Bond Theme is worse than execrable. Bears almost no resemblance to the fantastic original!
The only track that's okay is Iggy Pop's 'All the time in world' mainly coz it doesn't try to be too different to the original.
All in all, I can't believe anyone released this (let alone the composer of the recent Bond movies). What a disgrace to the original music of the great John Barry and Monty Norman.
I'm a huge fan of Bond movies, especially their music (apart from the last few films). I enjoy remixes and some techno style music as well, but this album is awful. The listenable tracks are the ones closest to the original (except for reversing the gender of the singer!).
Wait for the inevitable SACD and/or DVD-Audio version.......2002-11-24
good to the end.......2002-06-14

This is a gift... to be shared.......2001-07-27
I received a note from two people I gave this to as a gift three years ago. The note said: "We were listening to 'Shaken Not Stirred...' Thought of you and became inspired. Among other things about how fortunate were are to know you as a friend."
Three years, going on four.
Are you a thinker? A lover? Someone who appreciates real art, skill and timing and all? Someone who's forgotten something, or missing something from your life? Two words: David Benoit. Can you feel the magic coming back into your life, already?
