Tracks:

Album Description
"All The Rage" is the debut release from LA-based singer/songwriter Cary Brothers. These four tracks, produced by Chad Fischer (Alexi Murdoch), run the gamut from power pop ("Supposed To Be") to acoustic folk ("Honestly"), but they all share one thing in common - as Cary says, "They're all pretty much straight from the heart, whether it's being broken or put back together."Cary's song "Blue Eyes" is also featured alongside tracks from Coldplay, The Shins, and Simon & Garfunkel on the soundtrack of the Fox Searchlight film GARDEN STATE, starring Zach Braff, Natalie Portman, and Peter Sarsgaard.

Heartbreaking and beautiful.......2005-08-11
Nice debut record.......2005-07-28
What I think it is may be that there's a sense of honesty without pretention that circulates through his record-- when he sings about trying to put a past romance out of his mind and quietly mumbles "I wish your love away", you feel like he does. Brothers' vocals feel like they come from the midwest-- a sort of road weary sound. But he adds to that a good range and roundness of tone that I think is often missing in these forms.
This EP, consisting of four songs, is his debut. Three of the songs are folky pop pieces and one ("Supposed to Be") is a driving alt-pop piece. Although its a decent number, it doesn't quite fit in on the record, and its electric guitars sit somewhat uncomfortably amongst the rest of the pieces on here.
But the rest is all this kind of bluesy, folky pop stuff-- smokey ("Blue Eyes", also featured on the "Garden State" soundtrack), bubbling and delicate ("Something") and wistful and brilliant ("Honesty"). One thing the record definitely indicates, we can expect big things from Brothers. Recommended.
Cary is amazing!.......2005-06-08

Other worldly Mountain Music transcends Bluegrass.......2007-02-17
Alternative bluegrass at its best!.......2006-12-14
I was fortunate to catch Crooked Still promoting this debut CD at the 2006 Grey Fox Bluegrass festival in upstate New York. The audience seemed to be in awe. All the buzz was about them, and the line to buy one of their CDs was too long for me to wait in. I bought from CDBaby instead. (I got even luckier when I caught them in Madision, CT 4 months later, bought a second copy, and conversed with the band.)
I'd describe them as alternative bluegrass. The bluesy tunes are the most alluring for me. Listen to Last Fair Deal and Old Virginia on CDBaby - the long sound clip captures a beautiful cello solo, a wonderful double bass, an artful backround banjo, and good samples of lead singer/band leader Aiofe O'Donvan's sweet yet sultry voice. For more fun, listen to Angeline the Baker, Orphan Girl, Lulu Gal, Shady Grove, and of course, Hop High. And there's the rest... actually, there is not one bad song on this CD, so sample them all!
I would not purchase a used CD if you can afford not to; this band may not make the top 40 (like all bluegrass, unfortunately), but the band members deserve the credit for their talent - buy it new so they can get it.

come in from the cold...........2004-05-29
i owned the debut Road Movies and loved every single note played and sung on it, when i got Fly Below The Radar, i was surprised to hear how far they've come since then. It Is What It Is makes a great opener, with a beautiful climax to the end, followed by what is in my eyes the gem of the record, Unstoppable (a track also featured on Greatest Hits Vol. I by Trampoline Records, the label of Pete Yorn, Rami Jaffee (Wallflowers) and Marc Dauer), a slow, bittersweet waltz, with beautiful harmonies. For me, the highlights of the record are Unstoppable, Breathe Easy (this song will lighten up your mood, no matter what), the title trach Fly Below The Radar and Fragile, which happen to be the songs that were produced by Rami Jaffee and Greg Richling of the Wallflowers.
Pete Yorn called Minibar one of his favourite bands and Jakob Dylan highly recommends Fly Below The Radar, too.
go and get it.
Great CD,.......2003-12-02
If you like their cds you will love them live, the rock, and are the greatest guys ever. Mal (their drummer) is one of the kindest people i have ever met.
Maybe a little over-hyped.......2003-08-19
The singer possesses a velvety smooth voice, but one that is lacking any edge whatsoever. After a while, it's hard to care about what he is saying. The production is a little too "mid range" for my tastes as well (or maybe it's my stereo). The sound is a little muddled.
The music is sort of orchestrated alternative/roots rock with a pronounced Britpop sheen about it, although not nearly as accomplished as the like-minded Grand Drive.
At any rate, I give this 3 stars. Just because I didn't like it doesn't mean it's not any good. There's just not enough twang for me. It's definitely more rock than roots.
Radar Love.......2003-06-11
British quartet of truly fine musicians who have a
unique sound that sets them apart and above many a
pop/alternative/rock/country band out there. Their latest contribution (Fly Below The Radar)to music is a must have for seekers of great music you can play over and over again. Buy this. Highly recommended!

Album Description
"Mint" is the ultimate Rachel Loshak album, so far, because of the uniqueness of the songs, originality of the arrangements and intimacy and strength of her vocal style. She has attained a tight feel with her band, Jason Crigler on guitars and Dan Rieser on drums, that supports the delicate, while intense and direct, nature of her soul.Customer Reviews:
A sexier, more mature, and more eclectic Loshak........2003-02-27
First off, the mix is clearer, giving instrumental parts and Loshak's magnificent voice room to breathe. Secondly, her songwriting remains structured and engaging, with lyrics that are rich in understated wordplay and quiet emotion. Loshak's bass guitar-based songwriting has paid off in spades; by anchoring the harmonic intent of the songs in the bassline, she gives guitarist Jason Crigler basis to colour and augment, while retaining a great sense of freedom for exotic fills and instrumentation.
And the songs are terrific, already well tested in a live setting. What they lose in live spontaneity, they gain in studio detail. The chorus melody of "Rain" is dazzlingly beautiful; "Single Rose" features gorgeous suspended electric-guitar chords and an angelic piano part, followed by an unusually fiery blues-guitar tone from Crigler; "Never Look Back" employs a signature Loshak motif, a buoyant, Eastern-flavoured bassline with her crystalline voice weaving a sumptuous sonic tapestry -- the contrast of Loshak's bell-clear soprano and insistent bass remains magical. While she's always had an amazing voice, she's gained more control in studio of her singing, and she sounds more confident than ever. "The Dreamer" is an atypical Loshak tune in its folksy acoustic guitar; "Latin Rock" features playful percussion parts and long, catchy vocal lines that flow effortlessly; and "Sweet as Sin" features one of her slyest lyrics.
There is more of a romantic leaning to the music on this album, but overall it casts a wider web both in sonics and topicality than Firefly. I listened through the whole album three times the first night I got it, and chances are it'll refuse to leave my CD player throughout 2003. This is just about as flawless an album as I can think of.

A Welcome CD Reissue of A Superb Recording.......2002-01-05
While the band is in terrific shape now (2002) coming off its Grammy-winning "Serendipity 18" album, "Soaring" remains my desert island Bob Florence recording. Made in the early '80's following the wonderfully performed but poorly recorded "Westlake", "Soaring" was recorded on Pete Christlieb's short-lived "Bosco" label (named for his Saint Bernard). He was a member of the band at the time, and this project was done with consummate care.
Florence's compositions are spectacular. From the scorching "Afternoon of A Prawn" to the virtuosic and enormously clever "Misbehavin'" (based on Fats Waller's "Jitterbug Waltz"), he avoids a sometime tendency to produce top quality pattern music and instead delivers some of the finest and most original big band writing of any era. Every composition is a gem.
And then there are the performances. Playing some of the most difficult music ever written for jazz band, the players conjure an ideal balance between edginess and absolute technical security. It helps to have the extraordinary George Graham on lead trumpet and, in Nick Ceroli, one of the greatest big band drummers in history, but the fact is there isn't a hint of a bad note to be found anywhere. Every solo is a standout, everything is perfectly shaded, and almost twenty years after its original release it's impossible to imagine these charts being performed any better than they are here.
I urge any jazz lover - or music lover - or lover of exciting things - to pick this one up without delay. I predict you will be amazed.
Great big band, great charts........1998-06-17

Another album of sinuous, textural, and ultra-melodic songs penned by Alice Despard. Anchored firmly to the ground in a rock trio format, Despard introduces washes of lap steel, cello, balalaika and distorted fender rhodes sounds to etherealize her sound. Keenly crafted songs, soaring vocals, and intriguing psychedelic ambience with a fat 70's sound is what this album is going for.Meditation Music:
