Fans of Rickie Lee Jones and Jesus Christ can decide whether this devotional music is rapturously spiritual or deliriously strange. It sounds like nothing Jones has previously released, or anything characterizable as contemporary Christian. Instead, her voice soars and wobbles through repetitive, stream-of-consciousness incantations over rhythmic throbs and pulses. On "Where I Like It Best," Jones testifies to the power of private prayer (while seeming to cast churchgoers as hypocrites). The feral distortions of "Tried to Be a Man" recall some of the textures (if not the themes) of her former boyfriend Tom Waits, while the acoustic setting of "Donkey Ride" features guitar tunings that might make Sonic Youth wince and "Elvis Cadillac" conjures a singular vision of heaven. At close to eight and a half minutes, the closing "I Was There" seems to follow Van Morrison into the mystic. Some of this music is oddly affecting; much of it is merely odd. --Don McLeese
Album Description
THE SERMON ON EXPOSITION BOULEVARD, the new album by Rickie Lee Jones and her first for New West Records, is a beauty--soul-satisfying and sonically unique. RICKIE LEE sounds completely tapped in, alive and vital, heading down some mighty interesting roads and discovering new magical essences. Lots of creative sparks here--plenty of them. She sounds like she's going through a transformation throughout the album in a way that's reminiscent of Van Morrison's performances on his classic album Astral Weeks.
Customer Reviews:
Beautiful and Unique.......2007-07-23
Not like anything I've ever heard from Rickie Lee Jones. I've read some of the other reviews, so felt compelled to write one. Not everyone song works, but all are powerful and moving. If you are looking for glossy, packaged, commercial pop, this isn't right for you. If you are looking for incantatory, raw, eclectic music with a spiritual twist and stream of consciousness lyrics, then this is for you. This album is a revelation.
jangly unpleasant.......2007-07-03
I love rickie's music, especially "evening" and "traffic", even "ghostyhead" is more palatable than this mess. Maybe it's the obnoxious music that is obscuring the usual beauty of her voice and poetry... I don't know. It is harder to find the moments of beauty and cohesion in this album than to sit through drunken kareoke. Even amazon's attempt at offering soundbytes with selling points is rough. I guess I'll just do as another reviewer is, stash this unpleasantness and await her next recording.
On this one she soars.......2007-05-19
I always considered Rickie to be a rawer Joni Mitchell. As Courtney Love is a rawer Madonna. But too often she seemed unfocused and distracted.
On this one Rickie shines! This is the high mark of her career so far. Through all the drug hazed days and aimless wandering she's seen the light.
If you never listen to another Rickie album, at least give this one a try.
Falling Up is the song I can't get out of my head.
It Hurts and Elvis Cadillac are other catchy pop tunes.
Nobody Knows My Name and Gethseme are haunting tunes.
The Reverend Rickie.......2007-05-11
Two and one-half stars. I've been a fan of RLJ from her first single, but her albums have always fallen into one of two categories for me: the ones I play all the way through ("Rickie Lee Jones", "Traffic From Paradise", "It's Like This"), and the ones I take a song or two from for the Rickie Lee playlist on my iPod ("The Magazine", "Flying Cowboys"). "The Sermon" falls into the latter category. "Chuck E" aside, hooky pop ditties have never been RLJ's strong suit -- even considering that, "The Sermon" is a tough listen, and is only intermittently worth the effort. After several listens, I am still looking for the songs. I know you're not Avril Levigne, Rickie, but give me something to hang onto here! Her talk-sung sermonette on prayer, "Where I Like It Best", brings tears every time I hear it, on sheer force of emotional authenticity: she exhorts the listener to "take back" prayer from organized religion, to look up and shout "I'm down here, too! I'm down here, too!", and it's goose bump material. "Elvis Cadillac" is a funky hipster vision of the afterlife, and you can't help but smile. But those two songs and the occasional inspired line ("Riding into town on your donkey/But you're going out on a cross") notwithstanding, much of "The Sermon" is jangly accompaniment to a poetry reading.
Only buy it for the packaging............2007-05-09
Talk about one-hit wonders. This disc was so discordant that I could only stand about one-half of one song before I shut it off and hid it away, just in case one of my kids tried to play it someday. Even the lyrics were self-indulgent. When will indies understand that there must be SOMETHING for another HUMAN BEING to connect with, whether it be the music or the words. Don't make us work so hard to like you, Rikkie.

Pretty good cd, not my favorite, but liked it........2007-06-14
I would buy this again, its fun for a change every now and again but not an everyday cd.
Better than the Arctic Monkeys.......2007-06-09
I heard "She Moves in Her Own Way" on the radio one day and had to find out who sang it. Already owned the Arctic Monkeys CD and heard the Kooks compared to them, so I gave it a shot and ordered the CD instead of downloading one song. I was not disappointed. I think the whole CD is more vibrant, less pompous and a lot more fun to listen to than Arctic Monkeys -- which I also did like. "Naive" is a standout, and I even like the more throwaway songs like "Seaside." One of the best CDs I've bought in the past year.
Best New Brit Album - The Past Decade.......2007-03-10
These guys are amazing. There are literally 10 solid tracks on this disc. A friend of mine told me NOT to buy the CD but to simply pay for each song that I liked on iTunes or another Music Service.
After getting my order from Amazon, I quickly told him he was crazy. When you buy just a few songs you don't get the cover with the lyrics and info about the band. Sorry. I have an MP3 player but will still buy great music on CD, especially if it's a band like the Kooks. Good stuff. And this was their debut album - can't wait to see what they do for an encore.
the Kooks are awesome.......2007-03-08
I really enjoy this album. The songs are catchy and i love the british accents...my personal favorite song is Naive. Check the Kooks out!
power popfest.......2007-03-06
choosen as the eleventh best album of 2006 by "Q" magazine, this is a fine gathering of fifteen power pop tracks. tuneful melodies performed with energy and joy, this is an all around winner for pop-rock lovers. supergrass fans in particular should find much to appeal to their sensiblities here. very well done stuff.

The name "Brian Jonestown Massacre" may seem hokey, but it accurately sums up the band's aesthetic. Their key musical reference point is late Rolling Stones member Brian Jones, and their ramshackle, self-destructive vibe is all too reminiscent of Jim Jones, the Guyana cult overlord who killed himself and his congregation with poisoned vats of Kool-Aid. Strung Out in Heaven, the band's eighth release since 1995, is a retrodelic janglefest of Altamontian proportion. Blending the smarmy, drug-addled sonics of late-'60s Stones with the chime of the Byrds, the hooks of the Animals, and the monochromatic drone of Velvet Underground within their swirl of 12-string guitars, farfisa organs, and jaded vocals, Brian Jonestown Massacre cull some of the most head-spinning moments of '60s rock into a single, unified expression. But unified is the last word you'd use to describe their interband chemistry. Since they formed, they have been through nearly 60 members, and their live shows are as likely to end in a flurry of fists as a transcendent, stupefying jam. Savor them before they self-destruct. --Jon Wiederhorn
Customer Reviews:
Ragged Glory.......2007-06-26
Swirling together such influences as the Velvet Underground, the Rolling Stones, the Byrds, Bob Dylan, the Spacemen 3, the Monkees! and any number of groovy sixties garage bands with a pinch (lyrically) of Charlie Manson?!, "Strung Out In Heaven" is one of the Brian Jonestown Massacre's tastiest albums though not their best. Songs like "Going To Hell", "Let's Pretend It's Summer" and the country flavored "Wasting Away" are like diamonds in the rough. "Jennifer" and "Lantern" are particularly Byrds-jangly. "Got My Eye On You" and "Nothing To Lose" are pure Velvets. I love BJM but must admit that the album's charms weaken after the midway point. Maybe it's just the drugs...
Strung Out and Timeless.......2006-06-04
When I first listened to Strung Out in Heaven I liked it but I considered it my least favourite of the Brian Jonestown Albums. However over the years it has grown like some crazy forrest in my brain. It has the direction and coherence that some previous Brian Jonestown Massacre albums may have been missing. And it is a testament to the genius song writing that a catchy album like this can last. But these songs aren't just catchy pop songs, some of them are just down right beautiful. Yes beautiful, haunting calls through the halls of time.
A barely classic country-influenced indie rock album - you'll like it a lot!.......2006-01-07
The Brian Jonestown Massacre's "Strung Out In Heaven" is a classic, even if it (arguably) lacks the "wow" factor of a Radiohead or U2 album. It's just very well done. It's a great album to play in the background and also with high volume - it flows really well. Anton Newcombe's vocals aren't perfect, but they do fit the band's style well. Every track here is good, and there's even a good amount of great songs ("Going To Hell", "Wasting Away" and "Maybe Tomorrow" are some). It has a relatively good amount of appeal, though it's essentially just for indie rock fans. It also sounds a tad similar to The Verve. The instrumentation is great and the production is also crisp and clear most of the time. It sounds like country-influenced indie garage rock. What makes it "5" stars is that the lyrics are also incredibly interesting and catchy - this is definitely a bonus. It's just very pleasant - chances are you'll really like this album! Highly recommended!
Highlights include:
the entire album!
Underrated On Amazon.......2005-10-31
This record really steams, it's amazing. "jennifer" is worth the purchase price alone."got my eye on you" is outstanding. this anton character is an amazingly underrated song writer! matt hollywood and joel gion also rule my universe. and the guitar riff in "dawn" might be the best sound ever made in music. you judge for yourself but really, really love this record. now it's on to "take it from the man!"
Good, but they should have been resting..........2005-04-26
I think the BJM's music tends to be best experienced in layers, w/ repeated listens. After a few go-rounds I couldn't help thinking though that they sound a little tired on this one (not tired as in lame or unoriginal..just tired tired). But then again...I must not have been paying attention to the album title! Though it seems more like they're strung out in purgatory. One of the songs sounded like the same riff from "Not if You were the Last Dandy on Earth", but then the next time I heard it it sounded more like "Sister Ray" so I couldn't dock them any points for that. Its encouraging, that there's enough chaos in their sound-soup that new things happen when you are listening to something that is technically static. I had read later that this was their major label debut, or something to that effect, and I didn't feel like they had been particularly cheated by the industry with this disk. If you consider all of the strong albums they had released prior to this album, it is understandable that they might be a little played out by the time the industry finally took notice. With that said, it seems intriguing that they would release such a low-key album -- on their big chance, I don't detect a hint of strain in any of the songs. This may seem like a small point, but to my ears most rock bands over the last ten years or so sound like they do little else but strain. Then again maybe the BJM didn't have a choice...

Album Description
Chicago's PONYS follow their two critically acclaimed albums on In The Red with their Matador debut, recorded at Electric Studios with John Agnello (Dinosaur Jr., Son Volt, Screaming Trees). A classic twin-guitar rock band fronted by the impassioned vocals of Jered Gummere, THE PONYS' songwriting range from psych jams to pounding rockers to twisted singer-songwriter material, evoking influences from Television and Dream Syndicate to The Only Ones and The Jesus and Marychain. Turn The Lights Out is denser, noisier and more fucked-up than its two predecessors, and sounds bigger to boot. The complex interplay between the guitars and the reverb-drenched vox and keys emerges more effectively than ever before in Agnello's massive production.

I love chick bassists!!! Anywho, great musicmanship and nice hooks and melodies! Great things will arise from this band. I love you Melissa.
I cant believe more people havent reviewed this album.......2007-05-08
If you like the pixies, Jesus and Mary Chain, etc. you'll love this CD. I'm more of a fan of indie rock than the forementioned bands, but I love it nonetheless. There's something here for everyone.
great new LP from one of the best bands in the midwest.......2007-04-24
It is safe to say that if you liked the Ponys before, you will still like them. If you have never heard them, NOW IS A GOOD TIME TO GET INTO THEM. There are some incredibly catchy songs on here that just stick in your head like glue: Double Vision, Small Talk, Harikiri, etc. I forsee these songs being all over mixtapes this summer!
This is a great LP, influenced by all the great classics like TELEVISION (particularly the vocals), FELT (not as British, but its those vocals), THE PIXIES, JESUS & MARY CHAIN, DINOSAUR JR, etc. The guitars are not as loud & abrasive as they should be (at least I think) but let's hope they fix that for the next LP.
They have been selling out gigs here in Chicago for a couple years now but hopefully their appearence at the Pitchfork Music Festival this summer will introduce and endear them to alot more folks! Good luck to this band, I think they would be a great opening band for an upcoming SPOON or TV ON THE RADIO tour or something.

Sounds raw, fresh, and intense. Kind of explodes out of your speakers. I listen to this every few months and it always seems different from anything else in my collection. It's not that they're inventing anything, so I guess it means they're very good at what they do.
No BS rock.......2005-06-11
If you like blues based garage band kick ass rock then this is the CD you have waiting for.
>>New York City's Suffrajett ..... led by the sweet and raw vocals of Simi. Simi, a classically trained singer from Woodstock, NY, and Chicagoan guitarist Jason Chasko, who played with Liz Phair on Whitechocolatespaceegg, formed Suffrajett in 2002. With Kevin Roberts (Elysian Fields) on bass and Frank Ferrer (the Psychedelic Furs) on drums

The new/2005 album from the New Jersey power poppers / garage rockers, Dipsomaniacs, is full of everything that has made this great band so hard to categorize - garage rock stomps, power pop gems, acoustic and piano almost ballads - it's all there. Whatever Planet is the band's 5th and most potent release with 18 new songs plus a free bonus disc called Down the Drain containing 9 rarities tracks all for the price of one CD! Fan sof Wilco, the Replacements, Cracker, the Who, the Undertones, and Fountains of Wayne should appeciate what this band does so well.

Agent Double-O Soul..........2000-05-09
Yet another fantastic release from the ESL crew. Very dubbed out, latin/bossa/world-infused sounds in typcial ESL/Theivery fashion. This is a perfect soundtrack for reclining at night, while sipping your favorite intoxica, of for sneaking about your favorite lounge--white dinner jacket mandatory.
Get this and you will not be disappointed.
Amazing late-night groove soundtrack!.......1999-08-23
Smooth beats followed by elevating melodies. Great for evenings alone or to be shared by the sedated few... If you've ever wanted to know what the future should sound like... this is the formula!

'It doesn't break my heart to see you cry......' .......2004-10-04
From the first riff of the euphoric 'I can't pretend' to last shout's of " I wish it could be 1965 again' this undoubtably is one of the best slabs of vinyl ever to grace your turntable or CD player (if your priveledged enough).
This is 'the' quintessential garage/punk/surf album ever recorded. No clunkers at all (mabye the drug addict paean - "codeine") other that that, all these tunes rock with reckless abandon and sheer delight.
Standout tracks include 'Don't let go, Violent Times and California Lament (how prophetic!)
Hard to beleive their from England, huh? Sound like SoCal fromt he late 70's.
Anyway, all their releases are essential, they have three proper albums and a comeback one from the early 90's.
This is by far their best.
This is a top five album of all time.
Be glad you discovered it.
top notch
If you love 60s Garage and Surf Music - get this CD!.......2003-03-24
What can I say except that the Barracudas were easily the best 60s garage and surf band ever to come from the UK (although they existed and recorded years later)! Their signature song 'I Wish That It Could be 1965 Again' says it all really. During that celebratory tune, they namecheck many of the great 60s garage and lollipop songs that inspired them to pick up instruments and tread the boards. This CD was recorded early on in the band's career and before Chris Wilson joined them from the fabulously wonderful Flamin' Groovies. Every song is a great tune sung with attitude, immediacy and great hooks. Oh and listen for the great track about the guy who catches a huge wave and bites it big time (His Last Summer). Classic!

A load of divas-begins soulful, gets harder and more peak hour.......2006-04-19
David Knapp is a master at mixing peak hour discs--but this one has a few annoyances. A soulful dub of Loleatta is a real odd way to open this disc-it seems to promise sheer boredom. Things aren't much better with a 2001 funky soul house mix of the once brilliant hardhouse Giselle Jackson song "Love Commandments". (She isn't even listed as the artist on the disc, but it is her original vocal). Then, out of nowhere, this party STARTS! Warren Rigg mixes diva Lonnie Gordon's version of the gorgeous song from Lion King to peak hour perfection. Sadly, Junior's Sunday Morning Mix of Vernessa Mitchell is not the best mix out there (Chad Jack's mix is the best), but it's okay. Mindtrap brings back the peak hour madness with this mix of Loni Clark's classic Rushin. And you get over eleven minutes of it! Celeda does her usual tribal diva vocal thing. There's a catchy but typically repetitive full intention mix of Ultra Nate before a powerhouse mix of DJ Escape by Guido, with Plasmic Honey mixing Pat Hodges to keep the energy going strong with another near full length mix, clocking in at over 8 minutes. The hard dub of Razor n Guido's dancefloor is an interesting way to end the disc. It's actually a nice change from the vocal mix, which has been on many compilations. Overall, a hot diva mix, but it falls on shaky ground by throwing in a few softer house tracks that just don't keep up the energy. Track times:
1. what goes around comes around (7:21)
2. Love commandments (6:24)
3. He lives in you (8:13)
4. Trouble don't last always (6:38)
5. rushing (11:28)
6. let the music use you up (7:31)
7. Get it up (6:45)
8. music takes me higher (6:45)
9. you make me feel good (8:19)
10. dancefloor (5:16)
