Free Music Notes for Riverside Battle Songs
Free Music Review: I love this CD
Hit: 5 Stars
The more I listen to this CD, the more I love it. It is a great mix of traditional songs reworked in their own special way and their own new songs. I've seen this band live many times and have never been disappointed. I really like that they take turns with the vocals on different songs and each writes music too. They are a very talented group of musicians, the harmonies are just beautiful. I find that this CD has appeal for all age groups, my mother and my daughter both love it too. I can't wait for their next CD! Free Music Review: Ehhh...

What happened to them? Gone is the originality. It's all a reminder of those who have already written this previously. I like the more gospel/christian tunes though.Free Music Review: Just plain good music
Hit: 5 Stars
"Riverside Battle Songs" has something for everyone. Their music has a harmony and resonance similar to that of classic partnerships such as Simon and Garfunkel and Crosby, Stills, and Nash. Their influences range from Celtic to Cajun to Country--and their topics are timely and timeless--as in the war protest of "Riverside Battle Songs." The first CD was a delight--this follow-up has only fulfilled the initial promise. Free Music Review: Just Getting Better

Each year, only a handful of new records really resonate deeply with me. Two years ago, one of those was Ollabelle's debut release. I'm happy to say that "Riverside Battle Songs" has now become one of those rarified records for '06. Everything about this band has improved as they have spent more time together: their songwriting, their harmonies, and their singing. This time around, Tony and Byron step up to the mic, and it's a welcome appearance. And Glenn's singing has become much stronger (he was good before) - in fact, on the closer he bears some resemblance to veteran New Orleans singer John Boutte, with whom he had worked in the past. And Amy and Fiona continue to strike a beautiful balance between sweetness and soul. Overall, this is a record that will bear years of listening... and I look forward to those years!Free Music Review: It took long to release, but it was worth the wait

I discoved this eclectic band in '04 with their first CD and deeply enjoyed it. I also caught a live show in Detroit and was very pleased to find that they are not just a result of studio magic (though the production only both CD's is to be complimented).
And now, their follow-up release is better than the first. They write good songs, but they are at their best re-working standards like Riverside. There is something very cool about a band that spans more genres than it has members. I'm already looking forward to #3.
