Synopsis

Amazon.com
Even before completing this debut album, the Children's Hour earned a glowing endorsement from fellow Chicago native and former Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan. It's easy to see why: SOS JFK is full of the sun-soaked optimism and gentle sweetness that is all over his own band Zwan's 2003 debut, Mary Star of the Sea. A distinct British folk influence evokes the sentimental melodies and striking acoustic guitar virtuosity of artists like Bert Jansch and Sandy Denny, while tracks like "The Lumberjack Song" and "Kindness of Strangers" show enough bravura to fit comfortably on the shelf alongside modern artists like Hope Sandoval and Cat Power. --Aidin Vaziri

CD Reviews

Mellow Gold
James Williamson | My own little world. | 05/22/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)

"After seeing The Children's Hour open for Zwan, I immediately bought their self-titled EP. Their first full-length, SOS JFK, is the perfect CD for those times when you just need to mellow out, or need good study music. From the amazing harmonies of "Wyoming" to the soft sadness of "Adoption Day", the Children's Hour have this folk rock thing nailed. I can't wait until I get to see them live again."
A VERY SWEAT AND GENTLE ALBUM

"I loved this album. Like the other reviewer, I saw them open for Billy Corgan's band Zwan. They were a treat for the ears. I liked Going Home, Mary and The Kindness of Strangers. Hopefully, they will be able to continue somehow. PICK UP THIS ALBUM! :O"
