Free Music Review: A really great American band
Hit: 5 Stars

This is one album that I simply can't get off my CD player. I bought it after hearing a review of it on NPR, simply because I liked the sound of the snippets I heard there. The snippets were not misleading. The Willard Grant Conspiracy really doesn't sound too much like anyone, though at the same time you will sometimes hear echoes of other performers. If pressed to describe what they sound like, I'd say two parts Nick Cave (later, religious Nick Cave), one part Ry Cooder singing songs from the Baptist hymnal, and one part Martin Stephenson, with a measure of Tom Waits, Thin White Rope, and Tindersticks thrown in. The pace is always slow and deliberate, the mood sober, and the themes vaguely moral and religious and tragic. Singer Robert Fisher sounds a lot like Nick Cave and has a similar singing style and range.

The sound of the band is largely acoustic in feel, even when they use electric instruments. Fiddle plays a big role in the sound, as well as subdued keyboards and acoustic guitars. But, again, the resemblance to Nick Cave is palpable: the sound might be subdued, but it is never peaceful. Even behind the most placid melodies and vocals there is an edginess, as if something bad either has happened or is destined to happen.

I don't dislike any of the songs on this album, and I like several of them a lot, so much that I love several without being able to say which I like most. I'd be hard pressed to have to select between the traditional sounding "Another Man is Gone," the eerie "The Ghost of the Girl in the Well," the tragically true "The Suffering Song," "The Trials of Harrison Hayes," or the compelling "River in the Pines."

I like this band so much that I definitely am going to try and catch them when they next hit Chicago. Anyone liking any of the artists I compared them to above will definitely enjoy this stuffy. It is just first rate music.
