Free Music Notes for EmotionalismFree Music Review: I Love These Guys Hit: 5 StarsI don't have much to add to the previous reviews. These guys just sing their hearts out and have a lot of talent. I first saw them at the 9:30 Club in DC, opening for Carbon Leaf (a once-great band that's unfortunately gone kinda soft). They sound like a bunch of guys having a lot of fun, and sounding good doing it. And every album they release, I am initially (for about five minutes) disappointed that it doesn't sound like their last, but it doesn't take long to realize it's their best yet. They have a universal appeal to them, while retaining their own character. That's not so easy to find. They are described as alt-country, but for the record I don't like most country. It's not about the style so much as the -- cheese alert -- emotion that comes through. Pick it up, you won't regret it!
Free Music Review: Great Harmonies, Fun, Not Cynical Hit: 5 StarsThis band has tremendous energy on their uptempo tracks, and make me all misty eyed with their sad ballads. They keep tight harmonies throughout, and have excellent musicianship and lyrics. I haven't had this much fun discovering a new band since I was in high school. They can be knocked for being a bit sentimental, but the integrity of the performances transform what might otherwise be a bit cheesy into something sublime.
Free Music Review: Avetts' best yet Hit: 5 StarsThese fellas just keep getting better! How does one classify the Avett Brothers? Modern Americana? Punk newgrass? Alt-folk? Heck, I don't know, and I don't care. But I believe that this is one of the top CDs of 2007.
Free Music Review: Oh ya! Hit: 5 StarsThis album is amazing. If you are a fan of the alt-country scene... buy this. Haven't caught a live show, you are missing out. Also take a listen to The Everybodyfields, which is a band on their label. I am a huge fan of their tunes.
Free Music Review: My daughter loved it and it arrived so quickly! Hit: 5 StarsMy daughter requested this at the last minute for Christmas. I didn't want to go to the mall so I ordered it from Amazon and it was here within a few days.
Thanks for making Christmas just a little merrier.
