5 out of 5 stars Stroke who?.......2006-09-20

To be honest, when I first got this album I thought it was an album by The Strokes. I had never heard of Stroke 9 before, but this CD totally blew me away. If you're a fan of acoustic guitar, you'll go absolutely crazy over their two part guitar harmonies. So very catchy. You'll have a really hard time getting this album out of your head. Do yourself a favor and get your hands on this album.

5 out of 5 stars Brilliant.......2006-09-08

This mellow, catchy and sexy album is one of the best I've ever listened to. I admit I wasn't a Stroke 9 fan before (I didn't particularly like "Little Black Backpack"). However, this album pulled me right in. It is instantly "listen-able". I just got it yesterday and have listened to it 10 times already. A sidenote- I enjoy the version of the song mentioned above on this album- I think its a little more meloncholy than the radio version. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

5 out of 5 stars A great CD.......2006-03-30

This is the best Stroke 9 cd yet. The songs are quite catchy and filled with some really talented guitar work. Buy, download, or in some way get this cd.

5 out of 5 stars a cd every stroke 9 fan needs.......2006-03-13

If your a stroke 9 fan you probably know that their songs are driven by amazing lyrics, and thats why this cd is as good as it is. It strips down the songs to an acoustic atmosphere that promotes the lyrics that much more. If you liked Nasty Little Thoughts or Rip It Off, then you would like this cd since most of the songs come from those albums. I dont understand how someone could say no to acoustic versions of "letters" or "vacuum bag" or "tear me in two" and also a piano version of "california" which i think is better then the original version.

5 out of 5 stars A must have for the avid fan of Son House................2006-09-19

Eddie James "Son" House was born in 1902 and was one of the earliest blues musicians in the 1920's playing with Charlie Patton and even serving as an early mentor to Robert Johnson until Johnson left town and "sold his soul to the devil" for his amazing skills.

It is amazing that with such a paucity of recordings, this Baptist bluesman's status could forever be forged in the annals of American music as legendary. Son House record a mere 7 Paramount sides in 1930, some field recordings by Alan Lomax in 1941 & 1942, and some sessions in 1965 after his "rediscovery." He put the guitar down around 1942 because, as he stated in an interview in the 1960's, all of his friends were dying, from Charlie Patton to Robert Johnson......he simply thought he would be next if he kept on playing. And so he put his guitar down for 20 plus years.

Outside of the three times he officially recorded in the field or in studio sessions, there is not a lot of material for the avid fan of Son House. Luckily for us, we have recordings such as "Live at the Gaslight in 1965." He may not have the white-hot intensity of the 1930 Paramount sessions, but the intensity is there nonetheless. And we are witness to a soft spoken Son House as he talks very softly between songs.......for me, this is what I enjoy the most even though the music is fantastic. He doesn't say much, but his soft spoken words contrast starkly with his singing and presence. Listening to this album is like finding a treasure, a treasure to be savored and enjoyed partly because it is a testament to one of the all time great names in the genre of the blues. And partly because sadly, there is simply a dearth of recordings by Son House. When the audience applauds in gentle claps, you get the distinct impression that they do not know how great the figure in front of them will ultimately prove to be.

Enjoy the songs on this album.....they were made by a master who to this very day is the epitome of delta blues.

4 1/2 stars.

Even if he hadn't influenced anyone, even if historically he was a 19 year old kid from Shirley, Long Island, even if this recording at just been waxed last night, this is good, essential blues listening, you won't want to stop listening, you wont stop seeing the scenes of the blues that the songs make, you won't stop swaying at the power and swing of his guitar playing and singing. On here, my song is Preachin the Blues. I know you will have yours.

Son House taught Robert Johnson the slide blues. Son House taught Muddy Waters. When Son House started performing at Blues festivals again in the mid 1960s, some of Muddy's younger band members would start to go off for a smoke or whatever when the old man came on stage. Muddy wouldn't let them. Muddy Waters would tell all his band members to be quiet and pay attention when the man played because even compared with Muddy, this was the real deal.

Rediscovered in Rochester, New York, relearning to play the guitar, (how this country abuses the masters that come from its people, particularly its Black people), put back on the stage by the folk revival's blues section, House made recordings that reproduced his old masterpies, with a wrier sense of meaning than before.

People outside of the blues life focus on the guitar playing or the rhythm of the singing, but where the power comes from is the feeling and the words that are put together, the life and the meaning of the blues. Son House in his youth and his old age, on this and his other sides, always gave it.

So Like Muddy Waters, I would like you to know that
Son House is the real deal.

        Cafe du Soleil quickly became one of my all-time favorite CD's. I believe that a little familiarity would make it one of your favorites too. This absolutely wonderful music is hard to categorize as to genre. It could definitely be termed jazz, and is somewhat reminiscent of the accordians of Paris and the general category of jazz accordian. The tracks of the CD vary widely in style, demonstrating the brilliance and versatility of this great composer and fascile artist. I have been hoping for years that Brian Mann would grace us with a new CD, so far to no avail. Please, Maestro Mann, bless us once again with your talents and gifts.

        3 out of 5 stars Musical Teeter-Totter.......2007-05-10

        Brian Mann's CD is okay in my book. Not a great CD but worth a few bucks if only for Je t'aime, We're A Family (NOT "We're in a Family) and the catchy Dab In Da Mida (scat vocal). After the fifth track, my attention seems to wander. The Red Army Song just doesn't seem to fit in with the other selections but one will have to admit that any artist playing the accordion as the lead instrument has got to be brave. Some of the songs attempt a neo-French sound played with a jazz flare. Reclining Civilization fooled me into thinking the rest of the CD was going to be good. Other than the three songs mentioned above, I can't get excited over the remainder of the CD and can only muster three stars... and I love good jazz. This collection of *songs* just never did find a solid genre focal point so the songs seem to meander into various styles of music without picking some thing we could all identify with.

        5 out of 5 stars This is a wonderful CD.......2004-06-22

        I don't remember how I came to purchase this CD, almost 15 years ago. But I still bring it out from time to time and I enjoy it all over again. It's good mood music if you want something light and jazzy, but at the same time with some playfulness and complexity. If anyone reads this and can suggest other artists in this vein, I'd love to hear about it.

        I looked it up on Amazon to see if Brian Mann had ever released any other works. If he had I would have bought them based solely on how much I enjoyed this one.

        I'm sorry to see that he has never released anything else.
