 Rating:  - Timelesssurprized to see no reviews on this cd, so I decided to weigh in for my first review, I'm 45 listen to everything from stranglers to vivaldi. this CD is great, I've had it since '95 and still play it reqularly, the combination of vocals, arrangements and the tom waits lyrics goes great in my low light beer drinking heart of saturday night. not for jumping around the room, slow pace, thoughtful, excellent work, raises the little hairs on my neck still to this day with "is it the crack of the pool-balls" no category captures the scope of this CD - dark smooth folk jazz. check it out. Rating:  - Holly Cole in GeneralThere are so many things I want to say about Holly Cole and hopefully I can get them in here without confusing the issue.I have read many of the other reviews of her various albums. I guess I will concentrate primarily on the cover of Tom Waits. She is a mystery wrapped in a mystery wrapped in a mystery with the ubiquitous Canadian, smooth, too sweet Merlot sound (ie Margo Timmons, Lightfoot and others)that can drive a person right up the wall but also pleases to such a great degree. I would have to agree (as others have said) that you need either a straightforward receiver system, or a very fine, revealing, warm tube system to really listen to her. I fall somewhere in between with a KT88 amp and ( because of space limitations) a set ... Read More: Rating: - WonderfulI have owned this CD for several years. I sat down last night and listened to it again - I am still amazed. This is a great album. Dim the lights, play it on a GOOD system and then sit back and enjoy. You will be amazed at the layers of sound and the soundstage. You can feel the presence of the musicians and the sound is almost 3D. Holly's voice just draws you in. One of my very favorites. Rating: - An amazing work of artI can understand some reviewers not liking this album. I bought it and was shocked at how far off track Holly had gone. At one point I was sure she was headed into drugs. The disk sat on the shelf for months and then one day I was testing a new stereo and played it. Today it is one of my favorite disks of all time. The more you listen, the more your stereo can render, the more you will feel the passion in this album. The pacing and verve of each song holds its own within context of the larger album. I read somewhere that Holly and crew tried to do the songs in one take to keep them edgy. They succeeded. Every song takes you to a place in your past, for better or for worse. There are some songs on this album I cannot listen ... Read More: Rating: - Excellent, but makes you work for it...I have been a fan of the Holly Cole Trio for several years, and I must say, this recording just gets better and better the more I listen. Having listened to all styles of the trio's music - blues, R&B, "pop", and...whatever you want to call Ms. Coles "unique" realizations of songs, this would fall moslty in that last category. Fortunately, it's where she (and the trio) excels the most. If you are new to The Holly Cole Trio, they are a jazz/based ensemble that excels in REALLY digging into the zeitgeist of dark, poignant, or even slightly scary song writing. In other words, the writing of songwriters such as Tom Waits. They both are from the "meloncholy" category of personality types (rather than phlegmatic, choleric, or sanguine. ... Read More: |
