Vermilion

Amazon.com
Their roster reads like a one-shot all-star combo: ex-dB Peter Holsapple, Susan Cowsill (of those Cowsills), and Vicki Peterson, the former Bangle. But the Continental Drifters are for real, an all-embracing, seemingly effortless marriage of rock, pop, and country unveiled in an awesome songwriting spectrum. Recorded near an isolated bayou in the band's Louisiana homeland, Vermilion has no MVP among the three heavy hitters. Each writes alone and paired with another: Peterson and Cowsill's stunning harmonies carry "The Rain Song"; Holsapple offers a Neil Young-styled romp in "Don't Do What I Did"; Peterson contributes the highway-blues rocker "Christopher Columbus Transcontinental Highway"; and "Drifters," by Holsapple and Cowsill, boasts this chorus: "We are all drifters / Singers and sisters / Brothers and lovers and mothers and confidantes." All those, yes, and a damn fine band, too. --Scott Holter

Customer Reviews:

Didn't Thrill Me .......2005-04-27

Sorry, but I find this alt country/pop superband a little dull. Nothing on Vermilion is bad, but neither is it particularly distinctive. The songs describe frayed or broken relationships and hardworking people who -- surprise, surprise -- don't get rewarded for their effort. In other words, these are well-worked and familiar themes, but no Drifter brings new insights to these old ideas. The work lacks cohesion, no single voice, no single vision. It's not even an ensemble effort that works in the way the best Robert Altman movies work, with individual talents melded into a group identity. Instead, with Vermilion and the CD's first CD -- which I like somewhat better -- you get six distinct talents, supporting each other's songs with harmonies and instrumentation. Very nice and very forgettable.

Go Driften!.......2004-03-15

I'm going to keep this short and sweet--I LOVE this cd because of the raw energy. It is barely produced-it sounds like they just plugged in, picked up the microphone, turned it up to 10, and hit record, in someone's basement! Great songs, rough, ragged playing, voices that seem to appear out of nowhere, it feels like you're in the room with them. Long live Americana, long live the Continental Drifters. Highly recommended!

Excellent - roots rock album!.......2003-06-22

This is great album, great fun. I was skeptical at first because I always associated Susan Cowsill with "I Love the Flower Girl" but this album is great rock and roll record. I loved the duets with Vicki Peterson and Susan: Way of the World and Where we Live. Watermark and Chris Columbus shows just why Vicki Peterson was the Bangles' best songwriter (though not vocalist) and if that band had any success it was due to Vicki's edgy, rock and roll sensibilities. Since Vicki does not have a strong voice the combos with Sue Cowsill are well advise. The Rain Song is a bit trite lyrically but the harmonies save it from boredom. Drifters tells the story of the band with a somewhat philosophical and pessimistic note "We are born alone/we're alone when we go/ so while we may as well just sing a long." Also philosopical is Way of the World with its a++ kicking middle "What were you're expecting/ it's not what you had planned!"Meet me in the Middle is also fun with its advice "don't go to extremes..."The album doesn't break any new ground musically; it's basically traditional rock and roll. Weak cuts: Heart, Home. Silly lyrics about flying angels. Vicki's voice sounds weak and thin here too though she sounds great on Watermark.Despite its shortcoming this is a great record, great fun, diverse, smart and celebratory. Too bad they'll never be this good, now that this lineup has disbanded.

Great CD...Horrible Recording.......2001-04-19

I agree that this is a remarkable cd in terms of the songs and style, but the recording is so bad that I can no longer listen to it. The recording is so grainy that it is painful to listen to, and at the same time, sounds as if it was recorded behind a curtain. This is simply the worst recorded cd I have ever heard. I have a very large cd collection and a pretty high end system so I don't believe my equipment is the culprit. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

A Granite-Solid Musical Alliance.......2000-07-24

The Continental Drifters are group of six family members who have been sharing same house and making music together since they were children. OK, that's not at all true, but Vermilion sounds like result of a twenty-year musical alliance: the band is granite-solid with each member playing off the nuances of the other.

It's not unusual that such an intimate group would pursue the subjects of romance and family, but most surprising is their ability to convincingly cover such a wide spectrum of popular music. The jingle-jangle guitar rhythms and vocal harmonies of `The Rain Song' sounds as though they came from a `Best Of Badfinger' album. The menacing `Don't Do What I Did' is a no-limits rocker. Listening to `Watermark,' I'm tempted to visit the Appalachian Mountains, drink moonshine from a jug, and do some serious clogging. When I close my eyes, I can imagine Keith Richards and Ron Wood trading blues riffs while Susan Cowsill and Vicki Peterson strut about the stage. Perhaps unintentional, `Heart, Home' pays tribute to Richard and Linda Thompson. With its lonesome lyrics ("This heart needs a home"), tender accordion melody and weeping guitar solo, the similarities are difficult to dismiss. Ordinarily, "classics" require a few decades to age; however, the Continental Drifters have composed a "brand new" Folk classic (Anything) hearkening back four-decades to the heyday of Peter, Paul and Mary.

The six members of the Continental Drifters share writing, vocals and instrumentals: Vermilion is not a Peter Holsapple Pop album. Although the CD rocks, the overall mood is breezy and relaxed. It's impossible to miss their "we're having fun" making music attitude. Vermilion - a spirited gem from 1999.

Album Description

The much anticipated Volume 2 of the landmark series "Masterworks of the New Era". Recorded by the incomparable Philharmonia Bulgarica under the baton of Maestro Robert Ian Winstin, this second volume continues to explore the music of the late 20th and 21st century writers who should be considered part of the " ... Three B's".

Customer Reviews:

Cool!.......2004-07-10

I really liked this disc. I have a friend who is into this kind of stuff and she rec'd that I buy it. So, I did - and its really cool.

My favs were the Lion Triumphant and the 3 Essays - both I thought were full of energy and had a lot to say that I hadn't heard before.

Darn Good!.......2004-05-24

I hate buying CD's through web sites. That said, my office partner convinced me to buy this CD after he kept playing it at his desk all day long ... and it's pretty darn good!

I'm not much of a devotee to 'new' music - my tastes kind of went out after Sinatra, but I am really intrigued by this collection.

My question is ... why don't orchestras play this kind of stuff? I take my wife and the kids who will let me to the symphony several times a year and most of the 'new' music I've heard has been so boring that it nearly drove me and my family mad.

If they could find enough interesting 'new' stuff to devote an entire series of recordings to, why can't symphony orchestras find the same quality of stuff?

Perhaps they ought to call the folks at ERM.

I'm gonna definately go with number three when it comes out.

Very strong sampling of new works.......2004-05-13

This disc, the second in an ongoing series, contains far stronger compositions than the first volume. These are fine new pieces deserving of a listen and are presented in very skillful performances under the direction of Robert Ian Winstin.

Of note are Nancy Bloomer Deussen's attractive "Peninsula Suite" and Thomas L. Read's vibrant and exciting "On October Ground." John Winsor's "Three Essays" is the most substantial work on the disc and continues Winsor's ongoing obsessions with classical structures filled with modern harmonies.

Highly recommended.

Customer Reviews:

Perfect!.......2004-12-28

This contains the tracks listed:

1. Vermillion (Full Leingth Mix Version)
2. Vermillion (Single Mix Version)
3. Danger Keep Away
4. Vermillion (Music Video)

The one, main, and ONLY reason to get this single is for the Full Leingth Mix version of the title track. It's exactly what you hear on the "Vol. 3 (The Subliminal Verses)" album, but warped into what you hear on the Music Video version. And unlike the music video version, it's the full leingth (5 minutes and 23 seconds) song.

The differences between the Volume 3 version, and the 2 MIXED versions are as followed:

1-The "she isn't real" SCREAMED part, in the FULL mixed version before the end is faded into the background, and SINGING replaces it.

2-A saxaphone is played multiple times at the end of both mixed versions.

3-Better more noticeable basswork is played at the begining before Corey says "she's the only one who makes me sad."

4-Odd sounds are played at some points, one being during the begining of the song, and again during the FULL version of the song, when the long solo is playing before Corey says, "I'm a Slave and I am a Master."

5-More noticeable background talk from Corey. (IE-"My imagination come alive.")

6-Vocals from Paul at the end instead of Corey. (IE-"She isn't real, I can't make her real.")

7-The SINGLE MIX (not full) is the EXACT version used in the Music Video for Vermillion.

All in all, these 2 versions, are WAY BETTER than the 1 full version,
on Vol. 3 (The Subliminal Verses), and WAY WAY RARE!

Get this single IF you love the Music Video version and what it contains that the Album version doesn't, MORE than the Album version itself, you willn't be disappointed AT ALL!
