Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Possessing the creaky voice of a little old lady and the feisty disposition of a life-long rabble-rouser, Malvina Reynolds in the twilight of her career stood as a commanding matriarch of the topical-song movement. Ear to the Ground, which consists of 23-tracks the Berkeley, California-based broadside balladeer recorded between 1960 and her death in 1978, captures Reynolds in all her irascible glory. Best known for penning Pete Seeger's only hit ("Little Boxes," a poke at conformist housing) and the environmental lament "What Have They Done to the Rain?" (which the Searchers put on the charts), Reynolds's stuck to basic melodies that were given workmanlike arrangements. It was as a lyricist that she shined, delivering doggedly leftist screeds brightened by playful witticisms and unwavering conviction. A line from one of her late songs captures the spirit of the woman: "This old world is mean and cruel / Still I love it like a fool." --Steven Stolder

Product Description
Malvina Reynolds, the well-known songwriter and activist for social justice and the environment, performs some of her most famous songs in this compilation of studio and live recordings from the 1960s and 1970s.

5 out of 5 stars Very good blues from UK!.......2007-07-22

Matt Schofield is being talked of as the finest Blues guitarist to have emerged in Europe for several generations. Britain's Guitar magazine describes Schofield's guitar playing as "dynamite", picking him as the only non-American in their review of the future of the Blues guitar. Having read such statements I decided to give him a try. Well, I'm really glad I did! Just to be clear from the very beginning this is my first Schofiel's CD however it is not going to be the last. As a matter of fact I have already ordered all the other available ones. Since the very first listening I was very impressed by his sound, something that you would probably collocate somewhere between Robben Ford and Ronnie Earl. Talking about this CD and Schofield's music I would say that it is a great combination of blues and jazz, where the accent is strong on blues. The band line-up harks back to the classic organ trios of the fifties and sixties. Jonny Henderson on Hammond organ gives sleazy texture and dynamics while holding down left hand bass lines, and "drummers' drummer" Evan Jenkins provides compelling grooves. But that's where any comparison with a traditional organ trio ends. With their huge sounding, multi-layered and rhythmically infectious delivery this band redefines the meaning of "power trio". The best songs of the album are, from my point of view, the slow number, beautifully played, "Once in a while" and the hard driving "Someone". I would strongly recommend a listen to all the Robben Ford' fans and, why not, also to everyone who love the great Ronnie Earl.

5 out of 5 stars Best yet from MATT SCHOFIELD.......2007-06-07

This album by far is his best - a great listen anytime.

5 out of 5 stars The best yet from Schofield.......2007-06-05

I have all Matt Schofield's albums and this is the best so far. The quality of production, arrangement, original material and his voice are a real step forward, and his guitar playing is everything you would expect. There are some truly outstanding tracks (the title track, `Someone', and especially, Searchin' do it for me).

Schofield is a genuinely inspiring guitarist with a huge amount of soul and commitment in what he plays, and unlike so many players emerging today who claim to play Blues, he has his own recognisable and distinctive sound even when he is paying homage to his greatest inspirations.

Reading R. Putignano's review I cannot understand his downbeat comments. Is this the same R. Putignano that I have read waxing lyrical about Schofield's previous albums and the merits of his Blues-meets-jazz outfit. Why the sudden change of heart? And why the suggestion that Schofield change the band to take on another guitarist, that is bizarre! Or that he should abandon the organ trio format to sound like any other homogenized Blues-rock trio. It is the organ trio that is part of Schofield's sound and nobody else does it with such power and class.

From what I know of Schofield's approach to his music, I believe he simply plays what he enjoys playing without any concern to be commercial and certainly not to emulate Joe Bonamassa, to which Mr Putignano likens the title track "Ear to The Ground." I can't hear it myself, and I think Bonamassa might be a bit mystified too.

I imagine there will be a legion of Schofield fans taking issue with Mr Putignano, and similarly asking, why? But meantime I can totally recommend this album if you are already into Matt Schofield, and if you're new to Schofield it's a great place to start.

2 out of 5 stars `Vert highly anticipated, but................2007-06-03

When Matt Schofield's new CD arrived at my door I opened it with great anticipation, but after several passes on my CD player, I am still having a hard time getting a good feel from `Ear To The Ground.' Perhaps I had too high expectation's as I had felt Schofield had the potential to step up to be one of our new bright young stars, but it looks like we'll have to wait for Matt's next release, as this recording offers little advancement from Matt's previous fine CD `Siftin' Thru Ashes.'

My main beef(s) are two fold; The first being that Matt's guitar playing hasn't grown, which given his young age I expected a creative growth spurt. Secondly the trio concept (B3 organ, drums, and guitar) might very well be root of concern as to why the creativity has stunted, as Matt faces little challenges from his two band-mates, thus now might be the time to break free from the confines (of what is typically a jazz-trio format) and let Matt take on a real bass player plus another guitarist or keyboard player to help define his sound, which should also allow his songwriting to develop as well.

Nine originals are offered plus two covers, the opener `Pack It Up' previously covered by Freddie King, tries to sound like an (unsuccessful) funk tune, has no American soul feel, and immediately sets the tone on a downer. The next track `Troublemaker' is a high-tempo shuffle and shows off nearly the best this trio can deliver, as Matt's guitar really soars, yet its all too short, plus the lyrics leave a lot to be desired, as we all heard this story before. The very hard-rocking title track is kind of a mix of Matt's trio trying to sound like Joe Bonamassa jamming with a heavy version of the Meters, a sound that I am sure they were trying to emulate considering Bonamassa's current popularity, but it does not mesh as the herky-jerky changes sound too contrived, and Matt's guitar solo(s) never lift off. The slow plodding, nearly seven minutes of `Heart Don't Need a Compass,' never finds it's way. Finally Matt takes his first stab at the blues on his `Once In a While,' but it's so sleepy, and now I am looking for the remote to fast forward. Ah but the instrumental (once again Meters sounding) `Room at the Back' is very hip, and Matt's guitar lines are at its creative best, but it's far too short clocking in at 2:23. `Someone' is another heavy rocker with an unidentified harp player which really wore at me. The haunting "Searchin' (Give Me A Sign)" is by far the best track, and has a nice vamp for Matt's expressive guitar to play over, as Matt nicely broils the slow groove to a tasty crescendo. The second instrumental `Move Along' is a directly linked to Jimmy McGriff's `Motoring Along*' hmmm... But no matter- it's a good track displaying Matt's fondness for B3 jazzy blues, and thankfully gives us a second break from Matt's vocals. `Cookie Jar' should have been left on the cutting room floor, plus the lyrics are far too typical and immature. The biggest crime is thankfully left for last, as Schofield's trio takes a shot at one of my favorite tunes, that being the Bill Jennings `When It All Comes Down' (also covered by B.B.), but these guys just don't have the necessary grease or soul to make this chestnut gel, plus the cheesy background vocals are totally unnecessary & very lame.

I'll still be looking forward to the next for the next release from Schofield, as (for the time being) I still feel that Matt has a bright future, but maybe Matt should get his ear out of the ground, and look upwards towards the skies for new ideas and guidance.
* Jimmy McGriff's `Motoring Along" was recorded by McGriff & Jimmy Smith, and should never be confused with Schofield's "Move Along."

Nebraskan wunderkind Conor Oberst writes songs so naked and heartfelt they make you feel like a voyeur just listening to them. This precocious singer-songwriter croons with the astonished intensity of a homeless Robert Smith singing for his supper. And his band's fourth album is every bit as lyrical, sprawling, and pretentious as its title. The production is notably brighter and crisper than previous efforts, with some songs, notably "Nothing Gets Crossed Out," lushly swathed in sweet-sounding strings. When Lifted is great, as on the slow-churning anthem "From a Balance Beam," it's superb, visionary pop music, on par with Jeff Mangum, Phil Elvrum, and Daniel Johnston--and on occasion, Dylan. Unfortunately, half the songs sprawl on too long or revisit the same themes too frequently. Still, anyone who can operate a fast-forward button will find much to enjoy on this vital, messy masterpiece. --Mike McGonigal

Album Description

Full title - Lifted or The Story is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground. Born in 1980 in Omaha and recording since he was 13, Conor Oberst owns a voice that quakes with the tumultuous energy that only youth can produce. Slipcase. 2002.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars just wow. .......2007-05-31

I bought Lifted on vinyl recently and I have to say it must be one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. Every song just pours warbly emotion and honest yearnings. The lyrics can be cuttingly blunt and oddly abstract, but they hit you where it counts. Conor's voice is an instrument in and of itself; I guess one of my favorite singers can't really sing, but it wavers with the intensity and earnestness you don't often hear from musicians.

Buy this. From start to finish it's endless poetry to music.


5 out of 5 stars Wow.......2007-03-22

Give this one a few listens and it will stay in the rotation forever...having come late to the Bright Eyes party (after seeing him post-Wilco on Austin City Limits a few months ago) - and ignoring tremendous reviews in Paste, et al - I've got to say that Conor Oberst is outstanding.

Heartfelt is an understatement -- terrific music (even occasional steel guitar) -- lyrics to rival anyone...

I'm Wade Awake still Bright Eyes' best album, but believe me, give this a shot - you won't be disappointed (regardless of your politics).

Anyone with a remote interest in Ryan Adams, Gillian, Wilco, Sufjan needs to give Bright Eyes a try...

5 out of 5 stars Lifted, or the Story Was Daniel Johnston's.......2007-01-03

Lyrically this album is near unparallelled in its blunt honesty. You've got to have a taste for the type of vocalization of Oberst's, a warbly jitter, or you'll instantly dislike the album. The music behind the lyrics ranges from Country (along the lines of bluegrass) to semi-industrial ("Lover I Don't Have To Love"). It has recordings that are pieced together from a lo-fi singalong to brilliant studio quality.

I have to say though, that the most compelling plotline of Bright Eyes' work here, or through their other albums to this one, is that Oberst has captured a page from the semi-obscure musician, Daniel Johnston. Agree or not, you can hear the resonance of Johnston's work, a decade later in the work of Conor Oberst's early works. I'd have to believe that if Johnston hadn't drown in obscurity and mental illness he'd sound a lot like Bright Eyes today.

"Lifted" is, in my opinion, currently, the definitive work of Bright Eyes. This is a great place to start if you are delving into their catalogue.

5 out of 5 stars SCREW ALL THE BAD REVIEWS.......2006-06-28

Having listened to this album from a band I had never heard before I was at first uncertain, but it was listed as "inspirational" on eBay from a seller I liked. I listened to it on a plane headed for my new destination. The album took me on a musically/lyrically beautiful path. The songs have a soul and heart unlike 99.9% of most music out there. I can't compare it to their other albums since I have not heard them, but that shouldn't discourage someone from buying this cd. Indie music isn't mean to be rhymically perfect or rhyme. It shouldn't have to answer to any review on it because it stands as a testiment of music that must be heard and played. It is meant to save us from ourselves and this hell we live in(no matter where in the world you live). Even if it only makes you happy when you hear it, it has done its intentions. Music shouldn't have rules and if you want it to, then listen to every other kind of music they is regurgated by the corporate industries, but leave indie be. It just might save a wretch like me.

3 out of 5 stars Broad scope of Oberst's narrow view.......2006-05-23

This weighty album finds Bright Eye's at his most eclectic with lush, sometimes over-produced instrumentation guiding the tortured vocalist through his trademark soul baring lyrics. The songwriting, while perfectly competent, even eclectically intelligent, does often become mechanized under it's plodding pace. Also, when Oberst fails to restrain his need to convey his awkwardly exploitive, emotionally fragile demeanor in the most bluntly pathetic manner it can often cheapen and disservice his overwhelming talent for such a young folk prodigy. Despite many overbearing faults this is an impressive effort that hints at the potential this artist has still only begun to hopefully realize.

Malvina Reynolds was a political activist. If you like the wit of Al Franken you will enjoy the music of Malvina. Her song "Little Boxes" from the hit Showtime series "Weeds" is why I bought the CD.

5 out of 5 stars A Genuine Treasure.......2006-12-27

One reviewer said that Republican conservatives wouldn't find much to like here. That's complete rubbish. I am conservative as they come, but I was absolutely thrilled to discover this album and loved all the songs. It's a true treasure and anyone who likes good music will love this album. Most of the songs are about things that concern us all, regardless of our political leanings. Regardless of the messages the songs may convey, Malvina Reynolds has a delightful, powerful, mature voice. She was not that young when these recordings were made; already a white haired lady. Such a refreshing change from the young female singers that tend to dominate the music field with their too sweet, over-instrumented, childish voices. Malvina is a fiesty little old lady with a powerful, interesting voice who can really belt the songs out. She is just an absolute joy to listen to. You might not like every song, but there's a lot to pick from here. There is humor, poignancy, beauty and grace. Too bad she didn't record a lot more. Little Boxes is a masterpiece, but there are plenty of other amazing songs here. This is the one of the best folk albums ever made and makes some other folk singers sound second rate. This is a MUST HAVE album. I can't say enough positive about it and find in inconceivable that anyone would be indifferent to this album or not like something on it.

5 out of 5 stars Malvina Rocks.......2006-11-10

Nothing has changed in the world of revolution. Malvina's songs are just as poignant today as then.

A lot of crunchy-guitar rock bands will find a hook that works and keep it going and going, and after a while, every song on the CD sounds the same. Liquid Carousel avoids falling into that trap.

While the sound is consistently melodic and high-energy, with gorgeous harmonies, dreamy minor chords, and a powerful lead vocalist, each song also has its own character. We get the intelligent lyrics and musical headbanging of "Heading For the Stars." We get a funky, suggestive, slithery 70s groove undulating beneath "The Meaning Of." We get long, sweeping chords that create a majestic approach in "Concept of the Year." These guys are always thinking. They take their songwriting as seriously as their presentation.

They also seem to keep up their chops. This is tight, skilled musicianship. The music gets so wild and frenzied at times, it's hard to believe only four guys are creating this musical tornado without spinning out of control with it. I waited for fuzzy transitions, off-key warbling, missed beats, any sign of jumping the tracks. But this is solidly produced and performed rock music. It's raw and hungry rock that doesn't forget the melody. Fans of Pearl Jam will swoon.

My only suggestion is that I'd like to see the lyrics. They're not in the liner notes or on the web site. I got the feeling I was missing a message here and there. But that's a small criticism that can be easily fixed with their next offering. In the meantime, other rock musicians can use this CD as a lesson in how not to forget that musical discipline is just as important in hard rock as it is in classical and jazz music. Liquid Carousel can take lots of indie rock bands back to school.

    Subotnick has always been on the cutting edge of electronic music, but the works on this disc seem a little bit old-hat; KEY TO SONGS presents the same sort of material, and holds the attention a lot better. If you can't get enough Subotnick, this will do; otherwise, save your money for the eventual CD release of the early classics, SIDEWINDER and UNTIL SPRING (we can always hope...)
