Fantastic!.......2004-03-03

Of the three John & Mary albums, this one is my favorite. From the opening track "Two Worlds Parted," we're treated with the lovely vocals of one of the most underrated singers of all time (Mary Ramsey), as well as the brilliant songwriting of John Lombardo. With some amazing guest appearances, as well as thee wonderful covers, this album is perfect.

Great for fans of the early 10,000 Maniacs.......2007-06-19

If you're a hardcore 10,000 Maniacs' fan, you probably know their early CD "The Wishing Chair", and possibly the work they did prior to that (collected on the CD "Hope Chest"). The guitarist (John Lombardo) who wrote the music for the majority of the band's songs at that time early in the group's history left the group after the recording of "The Wishing Chair", before the band started having mainstream radio hits. He then started the group "John and Mary".

If you enjoy the kind of experimental folk of the Wishing-Chair Era Maniacs, you'll find a lot to like in the John and Mary CDs.

Another great effort by John & Mary.......2004-03-03

The third album by John & Mary (and fifth together overall, couting thw two Maniacs releases they were a part of together) is yet another glimpse at the wonderful music this duo produces. The biggest disappointment here is that John only handles harmony vocals on one song. However, the album is great nevertheless.

Best Album of 2003.......2004-02-11

Even though it was released in December 2002, The Pinwheel Galaxy gets my vote for best CD of 2003. This is probably the most consistent release from John & Mary, though I love their previous CDs too. The Pinwheel Galaxy is produced by Armand Petri, and is sonically very similar to the last 10000 Maniacs CD, The Earth Pressed Flat, except for the loss of guitarist Rob Buck.

This CD is full of wonderful songs, melodies, and beautiful acoustic instruments. Mary's voice is silky smooth, and there are numerous violin and viola parts. Beyond Love and Gaze could easily be REM songs, Halo of Stars recalls some of the finest Maniacs songs from the past. If you like 10000 Maniacs, Cowboy Junkies, REM, the Sundays, etc., then this is a CD in that tradition. I cannot recommend it highly enough. In a world of fake, processed music, this is the real McCoy, err, Ramsey.

Best of the three John & Mary cds.......2004-01-18

I liked the first two John and Mary cds, thought they were cool in a low-key way, but didn't really appreciate the way they tried to beef up their sound when they joined 10,000 Maniacs following Natalie's departure. I think this cd may actually have some of the Maniacs playing on it, but it has the same low-key folky sound of the first two John & Mary cds-- They're not trying to write pop singles here, just doing what they do best-- interesting folk music.

John & Mary are back!.......2003-07-16

Since the early days of 10,000 Maniacs, John Lombardo was writing catchy tunes that somehow stayed in your head. Nothing's changed. With his longtime duo partner Mary Ramsey beautifully handling the vocals, Lombardo wrote much of the music on this album with the same flair which his fans love.

Mary Ramsey's vocals always shine; some of her best work is found right here on this album.

Thank God John & Mary have finally decided to release another album as a duo. Hopefully there won't be a ten year wait between this and the next!
