Free Music Notes for Rejoicing in the Hands
Free Music Review: I rejoice in this music...
Hit: 5 Stars
My friend got this to me as a gift... As I've been wanting it since hearing it in full at a listening station at Virgin... What caught my ears at first (and heart) is his similarities to Marc Bolan (his solo acoustic music)... His nuances and inflections in his singing style and guitar playing more than remind me of Marc... The way he structures his songs as well... This is a good thing, because I believe Marc as well as Devendra to be a musical genius... So if you're a fan of Marc Bolan's, you'll enjoy his music as well... Also, I believe that fans of old style acoustic blues will enjoy it as well, seeing as he incorporates old style acoustic blues into his playing, with modernistic touches... As well as anti-folk fans will enjoy...
So all in all, if you're a fan of anti-folk, old style acoustic blues or Marc Bolan solo acoustic music, I highly recommend you to pick up this cd and rejoice in his music - Savannah Skye aka DJ Dakini-NYC...
Free Music Review: beauty in simplicity
Hit: 5 Stars
The fact that a voice as honest and pure as Devendra Banhart can acquire success in today's musical climate offers some hope for the music industry, overall. Whether or not you doubt Banhart's authenticity--whether he really was a homeless wandering street singer, or if you you think he is the product of clever marketing, is beside the point. What is essential to know is that Banhart is a fascinating musician. His songwriting style and his voice are transcendendental. Banhart's musings on life, love, art, and whatever else he feels like singing about, are always listenable, and you need this record. "Sight to Behold" is worth the price of admission on its own merits.Free Music Review: a meadow in summer.

if you are at all familiar with karen dalton (you should be if not, b/c she's amazing), you will draw comparisons to devendra with her. i find that this album really reminds me of a mixture of karen, vashti bunyan, and a dash of jack white. it's a summer album, hell, it's an all-year-round album, but when i listen to this, i feel like chewing on the end of a long, sun-dried weed while walking barefoot at sundown in late august in my original northern wisconsin digs. that is this album. and all affectedness aside, devendra's voice is just plain gritty and lovely and wonderful, along with his original song-writing and musicianship.Free Music Review: A Young God
Hit: 5 Stars
The first time I heard Devendra's album, I wasn't too impressed with it. It took seeing him in person to become a fan. I understand people not liking the album, but the memory of him singing such beautiful songs... is unforgettable. When he sings, he is like a child and an 80 year old jazz singer. Beautiful in sight and sound and inspiration. His songs may be simple and repetitive but he is a young genius. See him live if you can, its better then buying any of his stuff... and cheaper :)Free Music Review: THE KING OF FREAK HAS ARRIVED

This new genre of freak folk is great. Though, ALL folk is great. The guitar is amazing. He is the best. If you like folk you will LOVE this. The minute i listened to it I was stunned. GREAT ALBUM. Also get Nick Drake if you like the guitar for this.
