Synopsis

Product Description

Produced by revered pop craftsman Richard X. Heyman with Nancy Leigh and Spiff Wiegand and mixed by Kurt Reil of the Gripweeds, REDBEARD combines the genre-defying musicality of The Band, the earthy sincerity of Wilco and the quirky pop smarts of Ben Folds Five and Guster for a welcome respite from the irony, detachment and jadedness found in much of today?s new music. The songs on REDBEARD swing from Rock to Country to Bluegrass to Jazz to Soul to Blues to Gospel with lots of hybrids, a jillion instruments traded amongst the musicians, and soaring vocal harmonies.

CD Reviews

Great sound and lots of fun!

P. Belardo | Piscataway, NJ | 02/25/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album is full of great bluesy, jazzy, funky, folky tunes that are all really well-written. From the ballads to the songs that make you want to dance, they are all very catchy and you will find yourself singing and whistling them. The lyrics are interesting and they use an assortment of instruments (accordions anyone?) and have great variety to their sound. Catch them live if you get the chance. They put on a great show."

Very catchy

"Ever listen to music in the background, then the next day you start singing some of the words and wonder "where did I hear that".

This album did that and more. I found myself playing it over and over again, singing along more and more, even singing them without the album playing. The music doesn't fit into a category and I think that is what the artist wanted, they dance to their own beat. I will file it in my collection under "Great"."
