Brand New Can

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Fiddler Darol Anger and guitarist-mandolinist Mike Marshall, both alumni of the groundbreaking David Grisman Quintet, have played together in a wide range of acoustic bands over the years, some more freewheeling than others. Still, they always relish a return to the uninhibited improvising that was the hallmark of the Grisman band. On Brand New Can, their second under the Anger/Marshall Band moniker, they have again composed a collection of tunes that lets them stretch out like they did in the old days. Their music has moved far beyond its bluegrass roots to incorporate bebop and other modern jazz styles, as well as elements from Indian, Brazilian, and Celtic music. The eclectic mix of styles doesn't always gel, but when everything comes together as it does on "Queequeg's Big Adventure" and "The Fall," the results are thrilling. The band includes fretless electric bassist Derek Jones and drummer Aaron Johnson, who do an exemplary job laying down the groove. Marshall and Anger may have played with some of the world's finest musicians but, as the playing on Brand New Can shows, their greatest inspiration has always been each other. --Michael Simmons

Midnight Star fans get ready to be disappointed.......2006-07-24

when I first saw this new CD I couldn't get to listening quick enough. If your looking for the Classic style of dance cuts, the melodic mid tempo movers, or the melting ballads that these guys produced over most of their LPs, even after the departure of calloway brother, then think again!
The only track to my mind that is worth any kind of praise, is the title track, but only on the (OLD SCHOOL MIX).
Like many, on seeing the name of a band that I grew up enjoying, I was so, so looking forward to at least a touch of that former glory, but no. I know things have moved on over the years, but surely the repetitive dull ballads here are not gonna help sell this CD. Sorry guys!!

Da Shizzzznitttt????.......2003-02-25

Like the review above this one, Midnight Star hasn't lost a step at all..., Belinda and the guys bring the heat. Uptempo cuts like "15th Avenue, I Like(When You Dance with Me?, and VIP", are off the chain.., And the ballads, "Movin'On, Hooked on You, and Just Because I Love You", are those red light, belly-rubbin', house party smokers...., This cd is complete, tracks 1 through 15, bottom line, vintage soul at it's best, no cameos from rappers to appeal to the teen audience.., like the intro track says..,"M.S. in the House", and only Midnight Star...., This is the best cd I have heard in the last 5 years..., finally a cd with substance, no weak tracks here..., Just put it in the deck and let it play..., so don't sleep on this....., believe me..., Midnight Star has another No Parking on the Dance Floor here, and we all remember how tight that album was...., Pick it up!!!

15th Ave........2002-12-17

This new CD is smooth, mellow and funky..A great stress reliever..Perfect for cruising down the highway. Its got these mellow funky grooves that mixes the old school with the new... I love all the songs but special favorites are "I Like", "VIP", "15th Ave." "Out Tonight" and a classic!! "Caught Up".
Belinda's got the lyrics,delivery,and arrangements thats Grammy potential. For a so called old school act, Midnight Star has broken the rules..and has not lost a step..This CD's a sleeper.

Great stuff!.......2007-07-09

I have heard Darol Anger on CD's with other artists (Dave Grisman, Tony Rice, many others), but this is the first time I heard the Anger-Marshall Band. A wonderful jazz mix, very assertive (as the cover art tries to convey).

super cool turn.......2005-01-21

NOTE: THIS IS NOT TRADITIONAL BLUEGRASS

I am a big bluegrass fan- but this new jamgrass that bands like Anger/Marshall band are playing (they are actually the only band quite like it) is awesome. The songs are kickass. The playing is awesome. and it is all different and hip but not in an a-tonal way which is what most people mean when they say "new", "experimental" etc... These are just rocking songs that these guys pulled out for a jazz/jam band setting. I recommend it to anyone who likes to rock and who enjoys the playing of these two super dudes. Some of my favorite tracks are "goodnight manatee" "out life" and "Queequeg's big adventure" Thanks Anger + Marshall.

Disappointed.......2001-01-21

I'm a great fan of Anger/Marshall, have been for 20 years, and bought this album because they're part of it. I have to admit, though, that I'm stuck on their playing in a pure string band setting. There's such rhythmic drive without drums or electrics, and you get to hear what's going on. With the addition of drum and electric bass, a lot of nuance is lost. I know it's their right to stretch out, but it's my right to be disappointed.

SpaceGrass taken to a new level.......2000-07-29

When I ordered this CD I expected good things, but this goes way beyond what I expected. I am a big fan of spacegrass type music so a CD that was 100% progressive instrumentals was right up my ally. The first song is the fastest pace and Alison Brown takes a nice break on it as well. The second song "Queequegs Big Adventure" is very similar to Gordon Lightfoots song about the Edmund Fitzgerald. Darol's fiddle playing will blow you away with his improv. and smoothness. Marshall's mandolin/guitar picking is undoubtly on par with that of Sam Bush. The drummer(Aaron Johnson) definitly makes a awesome rhythm section. The bass player(Derek Jones) does some rather cool stuff as well. You have to buy this CD just to hear the musicianship of these people. This CD gets a definite 5 stars without a doubt in my mind. I would recomend this CD for people who listen to spacegrass music like "Strength in Numbers", "PyschoGrass", and anything Darol Anger or Mike Marshall related(naturally). This CD is filled with wonderful originals that you probably wont want to leave your CD player :-) Keep up the good work DA/MM.
