Free Music Notes for Vagabonds
Free Music Review: THE SOUL OF MIDWEST AMERICA IS HERE!
Hit: 5 Stars
I agree with some of the other reviewers - haunting, eerily stunning; however, I feel the Byrds influence here, but not Crosby's 1st solo - with the rich chorus texture and subtle vocal effects - I'm hearing more Gene Clark's No Other album influence than anything else. This album is weird, after the first listen, it didn't grab me at all - because it's not an "in your face" recording. I've left it in the car player all week and I don;t know if I can take it out! I hear something wonderfully new every time I listen through it. His voice is alluring, like Tweedy of Wilco. True Blue American mid-west SOUL. This is a solid work of a master songcraftsman. It would be cool to shake his hand some day. Tell him he's good. And mean it.Free Music Review: Sounds like a classic 1970's record
Hit: 5 Stars
Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes produced this, allowing Gary Louris to relax and settle into the true feeling of the songs, so nothing sounds forced. If its unforced setting has a downside, its occasionally too relaxed, but the overall feeling you get is wholly intended. The mixture of Gary's voice is often close to the front of the sound, letting the musicians create a comfortable wallpaper that rewards the singing. Simply awesome steel guitar permeates the proceedings, bringing you home to Gary's former band The Jayhawks without sounding like them.Free Music Review: Straight From the Heart
Hit: 5 Stars
Gary's songs are straight from his heart to yours. There's a timeless quality here that crosses eerily and effortlessly from the 70s right into today. Something about his voice and the unique chord progressions grabs you where it matters most and once you've heard this CD you'll never forget it. To top it all off he has superb backup musicians, especially the haunting pedal steel guitar. The Laurel Canyon Family Choir is the frosting on the cake here on several tracks. All in all, a most impressive project destined to live forever. Go get 'em, Gary!Free Music Review: Eerily Stunning!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is about as good as it gets so far for the 2008 releases. Of course not all tracks glisten but one listen to track #8 "Vagabonds" will have you hooked. Produced by Chris Robinson, this sounds nothing like the Crowes. This is early Jayhawks, rootsy with just the right amount of rust. Someday Olson will rejoin Louris and Tweedy will rejoin Farrar...now wouldn't that make for an interesting tour. Uncle Hawk and Jay Tupelo. Ok I'll stop!Free Music Review: Love Vagabonds
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm a big Jayhawks fan and of course immediately pounced on this record. It has a beautiful sound, with the chorus swelling behind Gary's lovely voice, not to mention the pedal steel throughout which I love.
This record has a timely quality to it like it could have been made back in the 70's feeling to it. If you love early Eagles, Jackson Browne, the Byrds, the Burrito Bros., this will fit right in.
