Free Music Review: Another Great CD by Gary Jules
Hit: 5 Stars
You may know Gary Jules because of his amazing version of Mad World. Don't overlook the material on the rest of the CD or for that matter the rest of Gary's work. Gary is a lyrical genius. His songs are deep and meaningful. And his voice is beautiful. One of my all time favorites. Broke Window - great song. No Poetry - beautiful. DTLA and Princess of Hollywood Way get ya moving. Love the harmonica on Princess of Hollywood Way. Umbilical town is awesome. As is Something Else. The whole CD is incredible. Gary Jules is an artist not to overlook. Also I recommend his live shows. Fantastic. He has such a great/charming stage presence. So glad I discovered him (by chance as he opened for someone I went to see at a small coffeehouse) back in 2002. I've been a huge fan ever since and he defintely is worth a roadtrip or two or three...or more.
Get the CD. Go see him live. You'll be happy you did!!!

Trading Snake Oil for Wolftickets Poster
Full Title- Trading Snake Oil For Wolftickets. Second album from Los Angeles based singer/songwriter. Track 12, 'Mad World', is a beautiful cover of the Tears For Fears hit and it also appeared on a soundtrack for 'Donnie Darko'. 12 tracks in all packaged in digipak format. Modular.San Diego based singer-songwriter Gary Jules was brought to the world's attention with his haunting cover of Tears for Fears' "Mad World", but Trading Snakeoil for Wolf Tickets may surprise fans expecting more of the same. There is a strong sense of West Coast country-tinged folk, with pop influences drawn from the Byrds, intelligent prose from Simon & Garfunkel and a velvety drawl from somewhere between James Taylor and JJ Cale. The plucked guitar of "No Poetry" is as beautiful as anything Taylor has produced; it could be perceived as derivative but Jules is expressing his song in the most appropriate way, and it fits the melody perfectly. The abbreviated "DTLA" ("Down Town Los Angeles") is more of an up-tempo number introduced by an analogue drum machine that swaggers in a country fashion befitting the fond imagery in the lyrics. The rest of the album follows a similar path except for the Michael Andrews collaboration "Mad World", which sits awkwardly at the end. Having the big single so far removed from the rest of the songs may seem risky but Trading Snakeoil for Wolftickets has enough merit without "Mad World" to show Jules is no one-hit wonder. --David Trueman
