About the Artist
Here’s a riddle. What would drive an advertising director to spend hours in his southwest Rochester basement with a molecular biologist, a computer programmer, an administrative assistant, a psychiatric nurse, an office manager, a youth leader and a radiation therapist? Give up? This unlikely team is also a group of gospel musicians and singers who call themselves "The Rochester Project" or simply "TRP". The basement provides a convenient home recording studio. Their goal? A benefit compact disc recording project to be released this fall.

"TRP is a group of gifted Christian musicians representing a variety of churches and backgrounds in southeastern Minnesota" notes Jim Maher, the Mayo molecular biology professor and bassist who co-founded of The Rochester Project along with Jeffry Swertfeger, composer and guitarist, whose day job is advertising director for McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing Co. Maher states "TRP has three goals in this CD project. First, to share our belief that faith in Jesus Christ is the only path to God. Second, to raise money for a non-sectarian Rochester charity, and third, to have a blast".

"And that third goal has sure been easy" adds Sarah Manthei with a smile. Manthei is office manager at Sargent's Landscape Nursery, Inc. in Rochester and is a vocalist on the recording.

The compact disc "Yours" will be the first release for this group of eight. Consisting entirely of original material, the pop/gospel collection is largely the work of Swertfeger who composed the music and penned most of the lyrics for the CD.

"But-" Swertfeger notes, "The project has been a delightful collaboration right from the start. Each person has brought distinct musical talents, insights and creative ideas to this recording. The pleasure of working together to make this music is hard to describe".

The CD presents a collection songs and instrumentals imprinted with a clear Christian message, giving insights into the personal relationships with Jesus Christ claimed by each of the musicians.

"Each of us was separated from God by our own selfish choices" states lead singer, Mollie Pellegrino, a radiation therapist at Naeve hospital in Albert Lea, Minnesota. "We each have found reconciliation with God by believing that Jesus Christ died as a sacrifice for each of us, his life paying the ransom needed to win us back to God".

"Even though our experiences as Christians are different in many ways" points out Mick Nichols, a youth leader at Rochester Berean Community Church and another lead vocalist on the CD, "we share our belief that God has built a bridge back to himself- a bridge built by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for us".

"Our CD presents the concept that Christianity is a bridge that God has built for us" says Sheryl Brown, a vocalist and psychiatric nurse at St. Mary’s hospital in Rochester. "There’s nothing we can do to earn a ticket across the bridge" she points out. "We just have to discover that Jesus Christ is the bridge back to God, and choose to depend on Jesus and his perfection in place of our own imperfection".

The other two performers who can be heard on the upcoming CD are April Rowe, a keyboardist and Worship Assistant at First Baptist Church in Rochester, and drummer Kris Davis, a programmer at IBM.

The Rochester Project’s "Yours" CD represents a partnership between TRP and Olmsted Outreach, a non-profit group in southeastern Minnesota. All profits from sales of the CD will benefit Habitat for Humanity.

Product Description
'Yours' is a unique CD recorded by a unique group of musicians for a unique purpose. The product of the creative efforts of a group of eight Christian musicians from Southeast Minnesota, this collection of original pop/gospel music is being retailed with all profits going to support the Rochester Area Habitat for Humanity. The musicians of The Rochester Project are united by their love for Jesus Christ, their desire to musically share the essential message of Christianity, and their determination to offer this compact disc as a gift to their community, donating all profits to a worthy, non-sectarian charity. The musical feel of 'Yours' ranges from pop/rock to folk in styling, and from a call to racial harmony to a child's lullaby. The blending of powerful instrumentals, and skilled vocal harmonies will appeal to a wide audience of listeners. Full information is available at TheRochesterProject.org

If your previous album was a slow-burning success story, it can be hard to be expected to hit the ground running on the follow-up. Fortunately, the Kaiser Chiefs have done just that on the fantastically titled Yours Truly, Angry Mob. Like Employment, their debut and this album's predecessor, Yours Truly... is full of radio-friendly, hook-ridden tunes that mask cunningly subversive lyrics. The Kaiser Chiefs are very much a Britpop band, which is probably why "Highroyds" opening couplet--"I remember nights out when we were young/They weren't very good, they were rubbish"--sounds like something Jarvis Cocker would sing while being backed by the boys from Blur. And it's this lyrical sentiment that's carried throughout the album, much of which is satire wrapped up in potential singles. Best of all, and a perfect example of this, is "The Angry Mob," sure to be shouted along to by exactly the people it's targeting. It's the rare band that can mock and judge its audience and still be loved by them, but that's exactly what the Kaiser Chiefs have done on Yours Truly, Angry Mob. --Ted Kord

Album Description

Yours Truly, Angry Mob is the Kaiser Chiefs's brilliant follow-up to their debut, Employment.

Kaiser Chiefs were one the great musical success stories of 2005. Fast forward to 2007 and Kaiser Chiefs (Ricky Wilson - lead vocals), Andrew "Whitey" White (guitar), Simon Rix (bass), Nick "Peanut" Baines (keyboards) and Nick Hodgson (drums and vocals) are about to unveil their much anticipated second album.

Yours Truly, Angry Mob wields its musical might from the start in the shape of "Ruby" - an infectious single to rival anything the band have done before. "Angry Mob", a favorite from the band's European festival appearances last year is destined to be a universal fan favorite. "Heat Dies Down" will surely have 'em pogoing in the aisles en masse, while the stunning "Everything Is Average Nowadays" is perhaps the thread linking Yours Truly... with its predecessor. Yours Truly, Angry Mob, as one band member has been heard to utter, "is an album full of big choruses and even bigger guitars". Maybe so. It's also the work of a band hitting their creative stride. All hail the Chiefs!

Customer Reviews:

Amazing album!.......2007-06-12

I love alternative music. Unfortunately, I have not liked alot of what I have heard lately. That was until I heard the song Ruby on the radio. I was blown away by the lyrics and the great sound of this band. I have been buying alot of classic rock lately. This is the first current alternative cd I have bought in long time. I was a little concerned because people had said that Ruby was the only good song on the album. In my opinion, the rest of the album is just as good as Ruby. I can't stop listening to it. Five stars all the way!

Not A Lot.......2007-05-29

Every time I think of this band, I remember them as the Kaiser "Chefs" rather than the Kaiser "Chiefs"; and I keep trying to associate the band with food. As much as this is one of my brain quirks, it's indicative that the band is almost memorable. There's enough here that shows promise to make you want to tune in, but there's not enough to glue you to them. The opening song "Ruby" is immediately attractive, but then wore a bit thin. I more like the second track "The Angry Mob" that boasts punk anthem joyfulness, "You'll raise a glass until you raise a fist or two & get a shopping basket wrapped round your head." "Heat Dies Down" sounds quite similar to the Rolling Stones' "Paint It Black." It repeats in my song rotation with its humor making me smile, "So I tried that night to do all the things I thought you'd like but that just made it worse & I impressed you not -- well not a lot." A couple other tracks like "Learnt My Lesson Well" & "Retirement" are pretty good. Some of the tracks like "Highroyds" go by before I remember to listen. So in the end, this is a rather inconsistent set with a few great tracks. It's enough for now. Enjoy!

listen to it first.......2007-05-24

Ruby is definitely one of my favorite songs of all time, but i listened to the album at a friends house, and the rest of the songs just didnt do the same thing for me. kaiser chiefs just probably arent the right style of music for me. so i just suggest to anyone who heard Ruby and loved it, listen to the whole album before you buy it.

A Fun Album.......2007-05-13

Nearly every song on here is a pleasure. Nothing too deep, just good indie rock with good clean (sonically, that is) vocals. There's some very well produced nuances I found after listening with a good pair of headphones. I especially like the way they used synths on Ruby (one of my favorite songs on here). They are reminiscent of XTC in that quirky way while still rockin' out. I haven't really been moved by some of the slower tempo songs, but it's probably not what I'm into right now. It's a good all-around album and I just picked up an older one a few days ago, so I can't comment on it just yet.

Rip-roaring fun!!.......2007-04-27

Our favourite rabble rousing lot, Kaiser Chiefs, return with their sophomore disc, "Yours truly, angry mob", which has already topped the UK album charts.

Opening the disc is the uncharacteristic mellow and melodic straight ahead love song "Ruby", the lead off single, which gave them their first UK #1. Following is "The angry mob" whose sing-a-long chorus comes after a tempo shift towards the end of the track.

"Heat dies down" is a catchy, sunny and upbeat song with a terrific guitar riff, sounding not unlike something Franz Ferdinand would do. In a similar vein is the choppy "Learnt my lesson well" with sunny sounding harmonies.

Returning to the Kaiser Chiefs we all know and love, cheeky and rebellious sounding ("Everyday I love you less & less" & "I predict a riot" anyone?) are "Highroyds", "Thank you very much", the buddy song "My kind of guy", the punk feel of "Everything is average nowadays" (the album's second single), the defiant "I can do it without you", the latter displaying their acerbic wit to the full.

Slowing things down, we get the tender acoustic "Love's not a competition (but I'm winning)", the brief piano ballad "Boxing champ", and "Try your best".

Closing is the delightful Smiths-like "Retirement", (I want to get by without the man on my back, they sing) a song we all wish we could sing. Ah!!

Rip-roaring fun!!

Evidence that one can make a musical about anything, Exhibit A: 1776. As one might expect, the whole concept of making a musical about the creation and signing of the Declaration of Independence was greeted in the late 1960s with, well, ridicule. The show debuted on Broadway in 1969, and three years later, when its run finally ended, it was its producers who had the last laugh. In addition, it toured for an additional two years and beat out Hair (in 1969 yet!) for a Tony Award. This recording, with the original Broadway cast, includes many of the same actors who went on to star in the film, the version with which most audiences today are probably familiar. One notable exception is Rex Everhart, who replaced Howard da Silva at some performances and on this recording. But there's still William Daniels as John Adams, though in some cases his performance is more subdued than it was on film. Musically, 1776 is an odd creation, considering when it came into being. As one might expect, there's a lot of fife and drum going on, especially in the opening number and during "The Lees of Old Virginia." For those less than familiar with the plot, it hinges on the idealism of Adams, who's trying his best to back up the American Revolution with some legislative action, and spends much of his time arguing with either the Continental Congress or God, as in "Piddle, Twiddle, and Resolve": "A second flood, a simple famine / Plagues of locusts everywhere / Or a cataclysmic earthquake / I'd accept with some despair / But no, you sent us Congress / Good God, sir, was that fair?" (One could argue that he gets further with God.) While not entirely historically accurate, and containing some rather peculiar numbers (Franklin, Jefferson, and Adams sitting around debating what their new country's national bird is going to be ranks among the oddest), there's no questioning 1776's staying power. --Genevieve Williams

Customer Reviews:

Sound Quality not perfect on CD.......2007-07-18

This is a new CD, overall quality and amazon procedure were excellent. The CD itself on a few songs fails to provide enough amplification to the background chorus or secondary singer, thus I must strain to actually hear both duet parts, with the latter almost inaudible. For example, Lee's of Old Virginia, Till Then, and Who will write our new declaration. It is not in my players, but within the CD. I actually ordered this because I wanted Violin by Betty Buckley and am satisfied with the reproduction overall, but it also has the audio problems with Adams and Franklins lines within the song

Before Sondheim's COMPANY and after MAN OF LA MANCHA..........2007-04-30

For me, 1776 is a great companion to MAN OF LA MANCHA as one of the most entertaining AND intellectually worthy amalgams of music, lyrics, book, theme, plot, characterizations and dialogue to ever come out of pre-1970's Broadway musical theatre. Each song is like a little gem, and displays the broad range of emotions and ideas with which 1776 brims. Satiric, romantic, hilarious, heartbreaking, disturbing, dark, inspiring, thoughtful, humane, and even a little bawdy, the songs glide and tromp all over the map, as does the show itself. As with LA MANCHA, 1776 broke open the Broadway musical, making it a pitch-perfect example of what can truly make a musical more than a toe-tapping time killer... while never becoming tedious, pompous, windy, or dull. If anything, it crackles with suspense.

And as to the reviewer who was shocked that it would win out over HAIR? Listen to "Mamma Look Sharp" or "Molasses to Rum to Slaves" to hear exactly the play's political and often-unflattering ideological landscape. This was definitely a Vietnam-era play whose content was as disturbingly pertinent, then, as it is, now. And, despite all of this, the score and play never become leaden or preachy. On the contrary, each performance is a gem, and each character is witty and unique. Who knew that history could be a passionate and fun adventure?

Overrated Tony Award Winner.......2006-06-16

How could this musical win the Tony award having as a competitor a play like HAIR which - for many people - stands as an emblematic theatre piece of the 60's? Who remembers a tune out of this musical? On the contrary, "Aquarius", "I Got Life" or "Walking in Space" are still popular and they play all over the world. Even ZORBA and PROMISES PROMISES - both candidates for the award in the same year - have songs that are still remembered. 1776 may wake up patriotic feelings to American listeners which is quite understandable but the music and songs are old-fashioned, overrated and awfully boring.

Brilliant, Definitive and Remarkably Accurate!.......2005-12-18

1776 has become an institution, thanks to the motion picture which was made of this original Broadway show, and which starred most of the cast from the theatrical production. It gets rerun every July 4th week on some movie channel or local station!

William Daniels IS John Adams to many people, and even though the story of the birth of the United States probably wasn't this lyrical and lively, Composer Sherman Edwards was historically accurate in the facts of the tale.

In addition to learning about the signing of the Declaration of Independence, this is also love story... in fact two love stories, with John Adams and his wife Abigail, separated by circumstance and interacting only in his mind, and Thomas Jefferson and his wife, Martha, here, played by the big throated (and now legendary) Betty Buckley.

There is also a sense of fraternity, with the members of the Continental Congress grappling with the concept of breaking away from a tyranical ruler. And even though you know the outcome, the story is still filled with tension and excitement in the mechanics of it. Just how DID this country get formed?

The disc's liner notes explain the show's libretto and give you some rare behind-the-scenes info about the creation of the musical, the challenges it faced before becoming the standard that it now is, and a bit about the amazing Mr. Edwards, which is a story worthy of being told as well.

It's an Independence Day must!

Saw this on Broadway .......2005-11-12

Saw this show, with original cast, on Broadway in '69 and it has stayed with me ever since then. Every time I listen to these songs, I laugh. The historical figures (done with some tongue-in-cheek) are highly entertaining and even better if you see the movie. I would recommend the dvd for a great, lighthearted evening, and good family entertainment. You can't miss with this one! A winner on all fronts.

Sara's voice is utter perfection.......2007-06-06

If you want to hear a great vocalist doing really interesting versions of standards, along with some wonderful original tunes, this is the album for you.

Sara's voice is pure honey, and her band is wonderful. Her drummer, Matt Slocum, is particularly talented. It's not often that I find myself hoping for a drum solo, but Matt's playing does that. He brings a lyricism to the drums that only a very few players out there do -- a true jazz drummer.

I had the great honor of having Sara and her band sing at my wedding, just before they'd started recording this album. I'm in the classical music business, and I asked a friend w/jazz connections if she could help me find a band for my wedding. She asked me what sort of things I like. When I replied, "I love Ella Fitzgerald," she said she knew exactly who I should hire. She approached Sara on my behalf, and after hearing her and the band at the Jazz Bakery in Los Angeles, I was blown away. I hired her on the spot. Sara's a very nice, down to earth person, on top of being a prodigious talent. I feel very blessed to have had her be a part of that special day -- made even more special by the great music she provided.

I can't wait to get my hands on her next album.

clean crisp voice.......2007-05-19

this is the first I have heard of her and what a refreshing clean voice. I put her right up there with Linda Eder and Others. I can't wait for her new CD- sometime this year.

AWESOME!!!!.......2007-01-17

I first saw Sara in Seattle....although I'm from TX. Hubby and I were totally enthralled. I have worn out the CD we purchased that evening. I have seen her live several times since...she continues to blow me away. If you close your eyes you would think she was in her 30's....such maturity in her voice. I attended another concert in Seattle and was able to get her "in-between" CD to hold us over until the next CD comes out....it is just as awesome!!
There are not enough words to describe Josh either!! Where did he learn to play and write?!! WOW!!! I love all of his work!!
I can't wait for the new CD!! You will miss out on totally awesome music if you don't buy this now!!!

This girl will be a household name one day........2006-11-22

I heard Sara in Dallas last weekend, and she has it. That special star quality and all the talent to make it big - remember this name - you'll hear it often someday. In a sea of no-talent singers in the mainstream these days, Sara is a welcome audition. Don't miss this one.

Fabulous!.......2006-11-10

This Cd is one of the best I have ever bought. Song after song is intriguing. I expecially enjoy the pianists original compositions. Sara Garerek caught me with Blackbird, thrilled me with Cheek to Cheek and amazed me with Amazing. I am sure you will enjoy this too!

...come ulisse quando incontrò le sirene, fatevi legare stretti alla sedia! non riuscireste altrimenti a stare fermi durante l'ascolto di questo cd, che mette addosso voglia di saltare ballare e scuotere la testa, inseguiti da chitarre e bassi ossessionanti. Una seconda prova migliore senza dubbio, più continua e matura, della prima.

very pleasantly surprised.......2007-07-11

I took a risk and bought this album because of the song "Ruby". The entire album turned out to be very good, and I'm quite happy with it. Good catchy songs throughout. Do many people today buy entire albums, instead of just downloading one or two songs from a band? Probably not, and it's a shame. I recommend the album.

radio friendly.......2007-07-08

It is exactly the words radio friendly in amazon's little review that make me flinch. KS have turned into a pop band and they play songs that are nice, but just a little heavier than your average boyband. Too much Kinks, too much other (better) Britpop bands and even Spinal Tap.

Over the top, just not very good.

loutish pop (but in a very good way).......2007-05-14

My first listen was on an iPod, my second-tenth on an excellent car stereo. Do yourself a favor and pump this album out loud. The production screams for speakers.

Worth a buy.......2007-05-12

Solid CD from this UK band, but Ruby Ruby, the first single, is still my favorite.

If it took a solo album for Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond Jr. to make sure his songs were finally heard, file this one under "their loss" for those egocentric East Siders. The first in the group to make his own record, Hammond (son of the triumphant '70s singer and composer) comes up big, hammering out 10 songs brimming with beatific melodies ("Call an Ambulance"), sugary harmonies ("Scared"), and the same rampant guitar ("In Transit") that he wields with the big band. Though he recruits prominent pals Sean Lennon and Ben Kweller for the ride, it's unnecessary, as Hammond's voice--both capable and charmingly unkempt--is a step above the monotonous murmur of Strokes singer Julian Casablancas (who also appears). Hammond's far-reaching influences drift from AM pop to punk rock, but the mop-topped musician mostly keeps it close to the vest, blending shades of the Beach Boys ("Cartoon Music for Superheroes," complete with toy piano), John Lennon ("Blue Skies"), and the Pixies ("Back to the 101"). Now he just has to make sure his band gets a copy of the record. --Scott Holter

Mediocre but still better than most of the new stuff going on........2007-07-24

This album is good but it's unfortunate that it comes from a Stroke in the sense that there have been many a band that do this sort of thing way better and the best of the lot (The Realistics, Supergrass, etc.) have sadly slipped under the radar. This album does have a number of "cringe" moments like the "Sugar Ray" part at the end of "Bright Young Thing" but they get evened out with a couple of solid numbers. Not bad for Mr. Fro. and his crew of socialites.

One of the unexpected surprises of the year.......2007-06-09

Albert Hammond Jr. is "that other guy" to the Strokes lead singer Julian Casablancas, Hammond being the capable guitarist (and son of ...), but it's never been very clear how much he contributed to the Strokes' mysic (Casablancas writes all the lyrics). This album, Hammond's first solo outing away from the Strokes, brings perspective.

On "Yours to Keep" (12 tracks; 40 min.), the opener "Cartoon Music for Super Heroes" is like a blast from the 1960s Beach Boys. Upbeat "In Transit" is probably as close a Strokes song as anything on this album, and I love it. "Everyone Gets A Star" and "Bright Young Thing" are just about as good. "101" (1st single) is another one of those Strokes-sounding songs, and caps of an incredible first half of the album, which I rate 5 stars. The second half slows down considerably, although there as still some great moments like "Scared" (which features Julian Casablancas and Sean Lennon) and "Hard to Live in the City". The last 2 tracks of the album ("Postal Blowfish", which is just excellent, and "Well... All Right") are listed as "bonus tracks", but why is unclear to me, they simply sound like part of the album proper.

I have to admit that I really did not know what to expect from Hammond's solo debut, and I was very pleasantly surprised by this album. It flows by smoothly and at 40 min., it's over before you know it. One of the better surprises of the yeat so far for me.

excellent!.......2007-05-14

Who knew that Hammond jr. had such an incredible voice?! A few of the songs are reminiscent of the strokes sound...which is not a bad thing! All in all, a great find!

3 1/2 stars - I hear The Strokes.......2007-04-17

It's hard not to hear The Strokes all over this album, and why not, that's the band from wence he came. My trouble with the album is that he doesn't do enough to get away from the sound of The Strokes. This kind of sounds like a loosely thrown together Strokes album.

With that said, this is still a solid album. There is not a bad song on this thing, and 101 blew me away when I heard it. There is nothing not to like about this album, but it's just "a not quite as good version" of The Strokes - which still isn't all that bad.

Standout Track: 101

Albert Hammond Jr.: Your to Keep.......2007-04-08

The Strokes have always been (rightfully) compared to Television. Their twin-guitar setup and their overall attitude are similar to TV's. Well, I don't think I'm looking too hard for similarities when I say that Albert Hammond Jr.'s Yours To Keep is similar in a lot of ways to the solo work of Tom Verlaine, Television's lead guitarist and singer. It's less edgy than his band work, and it's much more emotionally direct (which isn't hard considering that there is exactly zero emotional directness in Julian Casablancas' lyrics and delivery). Yours To Keep even includes (gasp) jangly acoustic guitars. However, there's still some carryover of the Strokes sound, obviously on "101" but on some other songs as well. I think my favorite song on the whole thing is one of the bonus tracks: a very cool take on the old Buddy Holly song, "Well...All Right." The Eric Clapton band Blind Faith also did a cover of this song on their self-title album. It's a great song, and Hammond does a great job with it.

Now I just hope that there's one thing this album *doesn't* have in common with Tom Verlaine's work--that it goes under the radar like his stuff did!

From someone who despises American musical theater.......2007-06-04

Okay... wow.

In the Brent Spiner Fangirl Legal Contract, it specifies that said fangirl must purchase any and all vocal recordings containing said Brent Spiner (and that she will not, in any way or at any time, mention how much he sounds like Judy Garland on steroids). Which is why I purchased this CD.

He... ripped... into... this... part. That's the only way I can put it. I was floored from start to finish.

The work, as a whole, is something of a consuming thing. Be prepared to sit in silence for a few minutes after you're done with this one, because after hearing the whole thing, silence will be the only followup that does it justice.

A Mans Show.......2006-07-24

For anyone looking for male songs, or a male show to put on, this is the soundtrack for you. It has great ballads as well as big chorus numbers for the male sex. However the subject matter just didnt grab me by the throat and make me love it. History isnt my thing. That being said, the music and lyrics are great, and worth the money. This is a good one to get if your interested in broadway, but not the Rodgers and Hamerstein style. My favorite songs are "Molasses to Rum" and "Momma Look Sharp."

Who knew Mr. Data had it in him?.......2006-07-05

I saw this musical in NYC and have never been so moved by a Broadway show before. Brent Spiner has a lovely yet commanding voice that makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck in parts - you so believe in the rightness of his convictions as Adams. All the performances are first rate, but Spiner really shines.

The argument can be made that this musical was "of its time" meaning the 1960's, but I think the songs still hold up as they entertain as well as educate us. Much of the lyrics and dialogue are authentic.

Highly recommended.

I Love It!.......2006-02-27

The soundtrack will make you laugh, cry and sing along. You'll have goosebumps as you hear the songs of the men and women involved in the creation of our country.

SURPRISINGLY TERRIFIC.......2006-02-23

As a PURIST fan of ORIGINAL musicals, and not one who enjoys all the revivals (which indicates a lack of current writers...no surprise), I was AMAZED at how GOOD this revival is on recording. I am sorry I missed the show in New York.

Though the music of Canadian fiddler Natalie MacMaster remains rooted in her native Cape Breton, it continues to branch in some surprising directions. No purist, MacMaster employs an aggressive guitar and rhythm section, along with mini-Moog and electric pipes on "Matt & Nat's," while the jazzy intro to the "Flea as a Bird" medley seems to channel the style of Stephane Grappelli. Guest vocalist Michael McDonald gives the traditional "Danny Boy" a soulful, somber twist, and "Farewell to Peter" offers an instrumental elegy to Peter Jennings, MacMaster's late friend and countryman. Yet uptempo instrumentals dominate, as the opening "Volcanic Jig" builds to an eruption worthy of its title, "David's Jig" employs her step dancing as percussion, and her flamboyant virtuosity through much of the music finds her rarely settling for one note where she can squeeze in three or four. --Don McLeese

Outstanding fiddle player!.......2007-05-13

I happen to see this performer live this year and even though she was quite pregnant, her performance was terrific as is her cd. Her talent reflects in her ability to keep you interested in every song she creates. The musicians that accompany Natalie only enhance her performance and make this cd even better. If you enjoy true fiddle playing, I recommend this cd.

Natalie does it all.......2007-05-12

I have seen Natalie McMaster several times and have some of her previous recordings. This one is somewhat of a departure from her usual fiddle music, delving more into a mood from classical to klezmer. She still entertains marvelously and shows her versality with the music she has created here. It is a mix of warmth, joy and sadness from a lady who has an unmatched personality and talent. I find myself playing this again and again. The only down side is Michael McDonald's "Danny Boy".

A rewarding performer.......2007-03-09

Natalie McMaster is, amazingly, the real thing. She has huge talent, without the ego to match. She is such a great performer for her live audiences, talking, dancing, and of course fiddling. She gives credit to her family, her band, and her country. She's a charmer, and this CD has all of her charm and talent.

Sincerely - "yours Truly".......2007-02-23

Thoroughly enjoyable and such a virtuoso. I play it as I drift off to sleep. And I love the one about Peter Jennings - such a kind man - and we were all privileged to have him come into our home nightly for many years.

what a fiddle.......2007-02-20

How far can Natalie go? This time she pushes her limits far beyond. A mixture in instrumentation (not only the traditional ones, but also modern ones), plenty of jazzy moments and quiet traditional pieces. The driving force is amazing. She propels her band up to the maximum and seems to take much pleasure in it. I would like to give five stars and can not wait any longer to see this fiddle lady live in concert. Hopefully she will make some stops in central europe in the future.

Best album I've heard in a very long time..........2007-06-18

Eliot Morris's debut album is perfect. Outstanding songwriting, outstanding production, outstanding vocals... If you're a fan of James Blunt, John Mayer, Counting Crows, etc... you will probably love this album. There have been a lot of comparisons to Eliot's voice an Counting Crow's lead singer Adam Duritz. Being a fan of Counting Crows also I think that's worth commenting on.

I think it's amazing how much the two sound alike both vocally and lyrically and Duritz is one of the greatest songwriters of the decade, but I think it's unquestionable that the best of his work is melancholy. Adam Duritz has transcended songs like Mr. Jones and Colorblind, but it's always to the well structured, shallow pop-hit like American Girls or Accidentally In Love that is the result. Adam is one of my favorite songwriters, so I don't mean any disrespect to him or to the talent it takes to craft a pop-hit. However, when you listen to Eliot's song This Colorful World, you discover something that's very dynamic, that also has real weight to it. It's not melancholy, but it's also not a flavor of the moment pop song. Eliot seems to effortless transition between the pessimistic and optimistic perspectives in his work and it doesn't come across as contrived (even if it probably is). If you have an appreciation for singer-songwriters you MUST check this guy out.

It's very difficult to give anything five stars, because when you do that I think you're saying you really believe the product could not possibly be any better, well this is a five star album. The weight behind this album is incredible, it feels like a life time of songs, slowly crafted to perfection. I have no idea how Eliot will follow this album, but I don't think he has to.

yay.......2007-06-08

my sister got his cd while it was still in the making and it was an acoustic one with some of the same songs, he ahd some othe rones that i wish he would have kept on the cd but this cd is very good and my mellow cd

Liked him in concert and Loved the C.D........2007-01-30

I saw Eliot Morris in concert with Goo Goo Dolls and Counting Crows and really enjoyed him, though I couldn't hear all of the lyrics from the lawn. This C.D. is terrific, with a nice mix of slow-paced and fast-paced songs. My favorite song is "This Colorful World," which he mentioned at the concert was the theme for Crayola Crayons ads. There are one or two songs that I'll sometimes skip when listening to the whole album, which is why I only rated this a four. But, if you like either Counting Crows or Goo Goo Dolls, then I suggest this album. He sounds just like the lead singer from the Crows.

eliot morris.......2006-11-05

i saw eliot in concert this summer, he has a very interesting voice, the cd is great. this is a "go to" cd when you need some new music. i hope we will be hearing a lot more from eliot. i would recommend this to everyone who likes to step away from the same old top forty..............

new fan.......2006-10-26

Got a sampler CD at borders, then saw him live in Chicago at the Double Door last week. He is one of the best new artists Ive heard. Don't know why they're not playing him on the radio yet - especially the best tunes on the album like "Faultline" or "No one has to know." He has an amazing blend of folk-rock-country, and the harmonizing is incredible. He also has tremendous range in his voice. Love the lap steel on faultline and others - amazing riffs. Pissed that the lap steel guitar player wasn't in town when he played last week, so he didn't play Faultline, but he promised next time he's in town.

Bottom line- recommend this album to anyone who likes groups with that blend, eg, anyone who likes the Jayhawks or the Bodeans. Every tune is really good, and some of them are incredibly catchy.

"Catwoman" was likely written for the "Batman II• soundtrack. --Jeff Bateman

Customer Reviews:

Truly a masterpiece.......2004-11-20

This album is a truly masterpiece, which combines pop music with goth/rock. And it blends together really well. The vocals of Marcella and Siobhan never sounded so good. This album was way beyond its time, and it's a shame the group never recorded again (as a duo, at least) after this.

The album opener, Goodbye Cruel World, was the first single, which flopped. I can't see why, since it's a listening pleasure. The somewhat depressing lyrics get lost in the campy, poppy production, which invigorates the song and the backing "ooohh la la la ahhh"'s are great.

I Don't Care is a great song. Starting with a great Marcella scream, the ones fans have always liked, the song never loses its power. I like this one because Marcella sings more here than on the majority of tracks on the album. The chorus is classical, Siobhan sings and Marcy replies. Utterly fabulous!

My 16th Apology isn't one of my favourites. It's sort of reggae-ish, and it has sort of a feel-good tune to it (although again the lyrics aren't exactly happy), but not one of the best. That said, I love the way they sing "with friends like me, who needs enemies?"

Are We In Love Yet and Emotional Thing are nice pop ditties, with dark melodies and somewhat crazy lyrics. Pleasant.

Stay is the center of the album. It doesn't match, unfortunately, the rest of the album, because it features Marcy on lead vocals. I wish she had done more leads, because she truly steals the song with her dramatic verses pleading for her lover to stay... that is, until Siobhan starts singing and adds an epic edge to the song. It all merges beautifully at the end, with Marcy screaming "stay" and the music setting the dramatic tone. A pop masterpiece.

Black sky is somthing of a change. After the great ballad, it's time to go berserk. It's probably the darkest track of the album, and it's great. Marcy & Siobhan sing together and are superb. The instrumental break at the middle is fantastic, and Marcy singing backwards (which actually looks as if she's singing opera) is great. Wonderful song.

The song is segued with The Trouble With Andre. Again, it is a dark song, with Siobhan's deep voice all over the top, with Marcy relegated to backing vocals at the chorus. But, still, it's great.

On Moonchild you can hear Siobhan's breath all over the song, which is kinda weird. A quite calm song about misfits, it has soothing verses, till Siobhan demonstrates her range on the epic chorus. The result is good. A sample of this track was used on Tricky's song Overcome in 60 seconds.

"I was floating around the atmosphere, I liked what I saw so I came down here" sing the girls on Catwoman. Very T-Rex influenced, this song is way too overproduced, but it's still listenable and great. Love the girls meow!

Let Me Entertain You is the only track I usually skip. The song bores me to death. The fact that Marcy is relegated to backing vocals and those caveman-like "whoas" really don't improve the quality of the song either...

The last track is also another masterpiece. The ballad, Hello (Turn Your Radio On), a song about the isolation people suffer nowadays, a plea for communication, is totally stunning. Siobhan really knows how to sing this one with a tortured voice, and the way Marcy accompanies her in the chorus is absolutely awesome.

Overall, the girls could never have done it better. It is a vast improvement over their debut album. The only complaint is the fact that Marcella isn't featured that much on the album, but for the rest, it is a stunning album

The Best Music Ever.......2002-08-30

This is the best CD of my 2587 CD collection!! I can't believe that this group wasn't nominated for a Grammy or something because they are the best EVER! These songs are a little slice of heaven, the lyrics move me everytime I play this beautiful CD. Ever since 2/19/92, I have had this CD in my Sony 5 Disc Turntable and my life has been changed dramatically. My third wife loved the CD so much we named our daughter Shakespeare's Sister Jones. Please buy this CD now, you won't regret a second of it!! Moonshine could be the best song since "867 5309", but I don't know.

a child's memory as a gauge of song quality.......2001-12-04

There is definitely something to a song which imprints itself so deeply on the brain of a child that he searches obsessively for it for the rest of his life as a minor; this is the effect "Stay" originally had on me since I saw the video so long ago; it's definitely as haunting as the slightly sad guitar riff in "November Rain" (which caused me grief until sophomore year in high school), and the sci-fi theme for the video to "Stay" didn't hurt, either!

Stay With Me............2000-01-11

Shakespear's Sister... was an amazing group... ( I like to consider them a group.. because I can't believe they broke up ) The single 'Stay' remains on the top of my list.. it is beautiful... I find it funny how songs like these are forgotten very quickly over the years even though they peaked into the top 5... Can anyone out there tell me why they broke up? or any info leading to them? Shakespear's Sister.. if u are reading this review.. please I beg you get back together, you have the potiental..... you had the set-up.. what happened? Get back out there and knock them dead.. as a duo... your music is memoriable and I dont just want to keep thinking of you as a memory.......... Stay With Me....

Thank God for Blue Roses!!.......1999-08-25

I ordered the album to replace a copy (on cassette) stolen from me at summer camp seven summers ago. The music (I just listened to the samples on this site) is every bit as lubricious and implacably witty as I remember! Funky! Spunky! Sparks in the dark! It's one of those albums that you NEED if you want to have a complete off-the-beaten-track late-80s early-90s campy alterna-gal collection. Black Sky is very R.A. WIlson, and the whole thing sounds like a soundtrack to Susie Bright, Anne Rice, John Waters, and classy indie leather stripclubs... delightfully lucreous...
