If innocuous pop music were outlawed, only outlaws would make innocuous pop music. Should that ever turn out to be the case, you might want to put out an APB on Merril Bainbridge--that other diminutive Australian chanteuse--who took America by storm with the hit "Mouth" from her 1996 debut album, The Garden. Between the Days offers a kinder, gentler trip to Spiceworld, with its simmering rhythms, shimmering production, and Bainbridge's coy vocals on the sprightly title track, the lightly drum & bass-accented "Goodbye to Day," and the smoldering seduction song "Love and Terror." There'll be no mistaking Between the Days for anything but a sweet pop trifle, but it's a charming one nonetheless. --Daniel Durchholz

The Best CD you have never heard..........2004-11-13

One of my childhood favorites. I was 9 when this CD came out. A great album that should have made Merril as big as Jewel or Alanis, but unfortuantely a man at the top of her label did not feel the same way. Every track is quality. Stand-outs include: The first single "Lonely" the 90's Pop ballad "Stars Collide" as well as the hooky, beautiful "Hello" and "Walk On Fire" some may become bored after track 7 but with more listens it will become one of the best albums you have ever heard.

another great CD.......2004-07-26

The Garden is probably my favorite CD ever (as a round full story), and I also liked this one. You probably want to listen to it several times before you decide on it, because the more you listen the more you'll love it. This kind of discs are probably the only argument against buying music by the tune from Itunes.

Her music keeps coming back to me.......2004-06-17

When I first heard "Under the Water" on a PBS station (with a somewhat puzzled DJ offering it) I was hooked. It was so odd, so out of the mainstream that I had to hear more. I got her "Garden" album and was delighted. Such a husky, thought-filled voice. "Between the Days" is, if anything, a far more sophisticated album, with the same tantalizing glimpses of other worlds -- "Big Machine" being a good example. I've listened to this tune literally thousands of times and it always surprises me with little sophisticated twists filling in the blanks. You might want to listen to this one with a good set of headphones to catch it all. I'd be the first to admit that her work can be pretty uneven -- sometimes she falls into the pop trap and can't seem to wrestle her way out of it, as in "Julie." But the gems vastly make up for that.
I wish she had a more aggressive label working with her, as I long to hear new things from her. She may just be the most underappreciated singer on the boards today.

Where did she go?.......2002-05-23

Merril Bainbridge is an excelent artist. This album Between the Days, shows immaculate talent. I would recomend it to anyone who loves the female voice.

Merril's Got Merit.......2001-05-07

I guess this album didn't have the smash "Mouth" hit, but it is definitely the better effort. We can only hope that this is a good trend and that the next one will be even better. What we have here is a nice collection of pop songs with jangly guitars and Merril's sweet vocals. My favorite tracks are "Lonely," "Goodbye To Day," "Stars Collide," "Hello" and "Love and Terror." Fans of Sarah McLachlan, Melanie, Bangles, and the Cranberries will not be disappointed. It seems like Australia, just like Sweden, continues to be a fertile pop goldmine.

Ex-Blue Eyed Devils singer-guitarist Cotton pursued his muse from his Bay Area home to Clarksdale, Mississippi, for this solo debut. What he found in the Delta with some aid from producer Jimbo Mathus--who played guitar on Buddy Guy's last few albums and leads his own rockin' Knockdown Society--and guitar ace Big Jack Johnson was the inspiration to blend the essence of old-time string band music and pure country blues with his folk-inclined sound.

Cotton's not much of a storyteller, but his fleet picking style, delightfully raggedy vocal cords, and taste for flat-four rhythms propelled by loose-tuned snare drums create a juke joint party feel that makes for easy listening and serves covers of Skip James's "I'm So Glad" and John Hurt's "Louis Collins" well. The best cut is Cotton's own "Black Night," where his howlin' warnings about a cuckolded husband get slicing support from Johnson's thick fills and keening slide. And the album ends with the poignant wish "Goin' Back Home," where Mathus's slide resonator guitar helps brings Cotton's pining lyrics to life. --Ted Drozdowski

Album Description

An aural portrait that owes a debt to Southern bluesmen and Americana pioneers alike, Chris Cotton's Yellow Dog Records debut sounds like a house party caught on tape - world-weary men effortlessly strumming their guitars and bass, while passing around a jug of whiskey for sustenance. The barrelhouse piano, is, of course, pushed up against one wall; Cotton's gravelly voice reigns over the debauchery. The scene is timeless - harkening back to days when the distinction between blues and country was hopelessly blurred.

Former Blue Eyed Devils frontman Cotton traveled to Clarksdale, MS to record I Watched the Devil Die at producer Jimbo Mathus' vintage-equipment studio, housed in the city's historic WROX radio building. Employing Memphis and Clarksdale sidemen including special guest Big Jack Johnson, Cotton and Mathus concocted a modern-day jam session with all the boisterous spirit of a classic down-home revival.

listening to him watching the devil die.......2005-03-15

As one of the privileged folks to get an advance preview of the new album, I just want to say, f***ing awesome! This is easily Chris' best album to date. Black Night is an absolute masterpiece of live blues. Yet the album is also breaking out of the restrictions of 12 bars into uncharted territory. It's a new Chris, yet beatifuly blended with the best of the old Chris. Vocally he covers new ground as well, like the heartfelt and soul stirring IM SO GLAD. I feel an autobiographical flavor to the new songs like Morgan, Mississippi or in Come On, where he admits to never having killed a man. I love it!Kind of reminded me of a rapper admitting he's not in a gang but he can still flow. All in all, a pleasure to listen to from the first track to the last. Keep up the good work and see you at the cd release party

Authentic blues flavor.......2005-03-12

I Watched the Devil Die is a great down-and-dirty blues album. Whether you're a blues enthusiast or new to the genre, this is a must-have album. A mix of original songs and covers, Chris brings his own flavor to to the set. Chris plucks the guitar with so much intensity he breaks strings, while his voice captures pain, desperation, and longing with true authenticity. The recordings sound live, not heavily mixed, making the album feel like an authentic down-and-dirty gem from a true bluesman.

"...the human word is like an outworn, battered timbal upon which we beat melodies fit for making bears dance when we are trying to move the stars to pity." -Flaubert

Which is my big ol' ham-fisted way of saying when it comes to Real Blues or what The Straight People (More Sugar!)call blues I ain't so sure I got my homework done enough to know what the heckfire i'm talkin' about. However in the spirit of MY Real Blues (and Mr.Cotton's) to hell with the damned stars and bring on the dancing bears!

I just finished listening to Chris Cotton's new CD titled I Watched The Devil Die. I'm awful sorry to say the best language I could come up with at the final note (without my usual swearing) was WOW! You'll be adding your own abundant and imaginative expletives after you hear it for your self. I'm at least honest enough to admit I know about enough about Piedmont style and other finger pickin' styles to keep my mouth half shut about Mr.Cotton's technical skill. On the other hand the fellow I work with is versed. His word as nail-hit-on-head upon listening was Exceptional! Most finger-pickin' sorts have sounded high-brow, tight and too pretty clean to my mud and woods tuned ears. Mr. Cotton despite his dangerous knowledge makes it roll out and around the ol' dirt road just as natural and rockin' as can be not forced faux and special. Mr. Cotton covers some of the masters works here. Mr. Willie McTell's Dyin'Crap Shooters Blues, The Mississippi Sheiks' That's it, and of course Mr's Hurt and James with Louis Collins and I'm So Glad. But this man's a fine songwriter too. Six of the twelve here are his and fit quite comfortably up against the old
timers. Each song sounds like it was played (not performed) at a late night pickin'party among good friends. The song Black Night sticks out for the help and heft of Mr. Big Jack Johnson's after-hours slide and as well for Mr. Cotton's xtra fine band's joyful playing on such a dark and menacing song. Mr. Jimbo Mathus' production here as usual brings you in to the room and sets you nicely in the hot seat front and center of the action goin' down live and naked and steamin' in the Mississippi midnite hour. I just gotta hope Yellow Dog Records P.R. Machine is fired up to overheatin' overdrive on this disc 'cuz if work this good isn't hailed in all the so called blues mags and beyond then sombody someplace ain't payin' attention.
Of course most folks don't Listen cuz they're too busy bein' dazzeled by the stars and wouldn't Hear great music if it was a dancing bear bitin' their ass.

Bryars never seizes to amaze me: everything he thouches seems to turn into gold. Although this doesn't strike me as his 'best' work, it still contains ample beauty to shut me up, and force me to listen. The melodic lines evolve quite fast compared to "After The Requiem", "Jesus' Blood" or "Cadman Requiem"; although the album contains 72 minutes of violin-music, it's never boring.

One of their best.......2000-07-20

I buy every Blue Rodeo album on the first day it's released and have seen them live at least 10 times so I'm not really unbiased. They are truly a top of the line band.

This is their eighth studio album and I believe it to be one of their 2 or 3 best. One lead, Jim Cuddy, is very strong on this album and the other lead, Greg Keelor attempted to crank up his songs a little more than on their last album, Tremolo. The album is very strong from front to back which makes it a great album to own.

If you're new to Blue Rodeo, I suggest that you buy Five Days in July which most believe to be their quintessential work but this is a very good second choice.

The Best One Yet.......2000-05-26

This is the best disc these guys have turned out yet. They seem to be getting a little funkier with every album they do. This album has their usual mix of ballads and quicker tunes. Songs with Jim Cuddy on the lead vocals remind me a lot of his solo album...and Keelor is at his brooding, funky all time best. There's not a song on this album that isn't good in its own way. I'm so surprised these guys haven't been picked up in the States they way they have in Canada, especially with the current country-rock cross over thats going on! I sure am glad I was in Canada when Outskirts came out! I've followed them ever since!

One of the best bands the America ISN'T listening to!.......2000-05-13

That's right. Canadians know something we don't. Blue Rodeo is one of the most amazing alt./country/cow punk (whatever you want to call it) bands I have ever come across! Definitely worth checking out. Their blend of folk, country, and guitar-driven rock make them unique and definitely hard to categorize. In addition to their foot-stompin' material, Jim/Greg have arguably penned some of the most beautiful ballads ever written. "Days in Between" definitely doesn't "rock" like a lot of their older stuff (with the exception of "Beggin' You to Let Me In") which is the ONLY reason I've left off a star. I think overall the album is a little on the slow side. But hey if you're in a mellow mood, it's just perfect. If you're new to Blue Rodeo, do yourself a favor and pick up "Diamond Mine", "Casino", or "Five Days in July" which are my favorite albums and, in my opinion, best represent the FULL spectrum (hard core twang, dreamy ballads, and everything in between!) of what this incredible band is capable of.

Days In Between.......2000-03-31

Blue Rodeo has several EXCELLENT albums, this being one of them. These guys just keep getting better. This album has a 60/70ish flavour to it, especially with "Somebody Waits" and "Begging You To Let Me In". "Cinema Song" is another beauty in the same style as "5 Days In May". Well worth buying!

Album Description

Peppered with MRK's signature style which teeters precariously between alt-rock's pioneer days and a wide swath of vintage jams, The Devil's Dutchman also delves deeper into sounds only hinted at in their previous release No Band in the Happy Place; gospel, retro-country, Vaudeville and Delta Blues. From the strawhat shuffle of "Hittin' on The Queen" to the tent-revival finale of "Shackle and Chain" to the 60's surf-vibe of "ATF", the developing maturity and diversity of the band is clearly evident. The lyrics revisit time-tested classics; love, loss, road-weary artistic anguish, addiction, and canine attacks, while dredging up fresh buckets from MRK's bottomless well of emotional and cleverly-delivered themes.

"Dutchman" was recorded with a mix of reckless abandon and meticulous craftsmanship. Basic tracks were recorded at The Trench by Gregg Williams whose album credits include The Dandy Warhol's 13 Tales of Urban Bohemia among others. MRK sought out local Seattle producer and friend Jon Goff to put the finishing touches on their third release. The results are a record that is as well-polished and pleasing to the ear as No Band… but more reflective of the aggressive style and diverse musical palette that MRK has developed over the years. This CD is certain to please the tired-and-true and push the fence-riders onto the lush green grass know as "The Devil's Dutchman"…

Devil's Dutchman rocks my socks off!!.......2004-05-19

The album The Devil's Dutchman is the third disc by The Memphis Radio Kings. It employs a number of unique stylistic efforts that reflect the band's roots sound. You can hear the album open and closes as if it were being played on a phonograph, classic!! 25 will get you 10 opens musically as if hearing the sounds of an on-coming train, Tony's drums and Tim's harp serving to provide the effect. Tony drives those drums home and Tim pushes the sound with his soulful harp playing. Charlie Beck's lyrical delivery is reflective of the human desire to leave a legacy on this train destine for a reckless end.

Another masterful track on this record is "shackle and chain", an old south themed track as the lyrics reflect the desire and search for independence. The chorus bridges into a soul, gospel influenced harmony in the Blues tradition. Some skillful "picking" by Mr. Jones breaks the band into a free spirited jam before the final chorus.

I think the bands focus on harmony this record is apparent particularly on lucky one. I'm only an aspiring musician who grew up around this sort of music, but what I like about this bands harmony is that the inspired work of Charlie Beck, is complimented by divergent vocal harmonies provided by Tim Jones and Tony Leamer. They each bring their own qualities to the harmony and I think they do it with intent. "Venture to guess", harkens back to the bands post-punk/ indie-pop works with the intense delivery of Charlie's vocals. The riffs are faster and more intense than other numbers on the record.

Ah, yes!!, what I believe to be the highlight tracks on the record. Dixieland, I wrote these guys and said how much this song reminded me of the honky tonk sound. Listen to the twang of Tim's vocal back-up to understand what I mean. Then when I saw their show in Portland, Oregon recently, it just kept me enthralled. The lyrics are so Old West/ Honky Tonk I wondered where my boots and duster were. The storyteller tradition is alive and well here. The sound is so intense that like Waylon, Hank jr., Johnny, George and the other outlaws I wonder who pissed the MRK off.

Hittin' on the queen, it's a worldly adventure of faithful travels. Tim sports his talent for the Kazoo here. Talk about stylistic effort. The harmony here reminds me of a barbershop quartet, sorry guys. You know I love it though, that is just how seamlessly the harmony was put together. Nice work!! Lastly, with Double line, post punk rears its head again with a ting of Johnny Cash, check that chorus to see what I mean.

These are just my favorites but undoubtedly, to use a clich? "like fine whine they just keep getting better". I was talking to them last week and urging them to do a live record because their live work is so awesome. They mentioned something about a live holiday record, he he. I CAN'T WAIT!!

Wow, what a progression!.......2004-03-21

This is the third record by this unique and (so far) relatively uknown band outside of Seattle. Have seen this band live several times and this is the first of their records that captures the energy and urgency of their live show. Plus, they are more experiemental on this one, adding bass, lots of keys, harp, even a kazoo. Not to mention the cool drum effects on Dixieland (which kills live) or the big vocal/keyboard break on Lucky One. I'm saving the 5 star review for their next one - if this band keeps developing like this, they'll definitely deserve it.
