Country Rock Masterpiece.......2006-11-07

I can't tell ya how many times through I listened to this one on vinyl only to scratch the record up and play the cassette over and over!! How cool is this to have it on CD. Long before his work with Blackhawk, Mr Paul was putting out some of the best Pure Country Rock out there. Outlaws fans you know this ones a must but any fan of pure straight forward ole fashioned southern rock this ones a gem. From the opening cut So Long to the chilling melodic sounds of Grey Ghost (Pauls tribute to Skynard and the loss of good friends) this one picks up right where the Outlaws Hurry Sundown ended and just keeps rolling through each Track! If your a Southern Rock fan you gotta get this one and has always been in my Top 5 when it comes to flat out good times. A MUST BUY!

Ghosts (A Grey One)That do Reappear. .......2005-08-02

Henry Pauls Greyghost may have not turned to many heads upon release, with the exception of two songs. "So Long and Greyghost", but there is a lot of great music on this selection. A great dose of the country-rock that stuck around for a while. If you heard and liked The Outlaws check it out. (Where do you think Henry Paul came from)..Marshall Tucker, Allman Bros, all of those you'll like this. The sound is incredible. A vast difference from the cassette and album version I had growing up. This digitally remastered version really kicks..Somebody out there wants to hear it. It was dusted off and re-released and enhanced. Check it out............(SO LONG) now

BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS ON CD FOREVER!!! "SO LONG" STILL BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYE'S.....LOVED THE OUTLAWS AND WAS SAD WHEN HP LEFT!

HPB ROCKS.......2005-01-31

I have been waiting forever to find this CD. Actually ALL the HPB CD's. I was a huge HPB fan in high school (1981) and Grey Ghost and Feel The Heat were two of my most favorite albums. THANK YOU Wounded Bird for releasing these!!

A Must Have.......2004-08-27

If you enjoy the Southern Rock of The Outlaws, then this is the disc for you. Former Outlaw's guitarist, Henry Paul, has assembled a group of top notch musicians to create an album that is truly a classic. From track 1 to track 10 every song is solid. Songs of note are "So Long" (melodic intro to a explosion of guitar licks, tasteful harmonies and various beat changes). "Lonely Dreamer" (where bluegrass and rock merge into one). "I Don't Need You No More" (blues style rock with excellent vocals). And of course the title track "Grey Ghost" the anthem of The Henry Paul Band. This album has been a mainstay in my collection since 1979. You cannot consider your collection complete without this disc.

It's always a challenge to create a record that's heavily steeped in antediluvian influences, yet still manages to capture the imagination of listeners in the digital age. But that's what Grey De Lisle has succeeded in doing with this captivating album, her first for Sugar Hill. A San Diego-raised singer-songwriter best known (until now) for her Hollywood cartoon voiceovers, De Lisle used a small, tight-knit group of musicians while recording on analog equipment in her home studio. The minimalist arrangements frame her dulcet voice with old-timey instruments like autoharp, pedal harmonium, celeste, and piano. The result is a collection of gem-like originals (plus one obscure Kitty Wells cover) that capture the stark beauty and spirit of 19th-century love and disaster ballads in a way that has emotional currency and immediacy for contemporary listeners. --Bob Allen

Whatta Voice ... .......2004-12-09

You wouldn't know it if you didn't read her bio or visit her web site, but Grey's done a whole lot of voice overs for cartoons. Real bigtime Hollywood type characters you'd recognize in a heartbeat. But that's nothing compared to her considerable talents as a singer and interpreter of American songs. She's got a true musical instrument that reaches you by telling a story through song. She's just wonderful.

Glorious Forgery.......2004-05-24

The Graceful Ghost is the most gorgeous album from the 1800s you'll hear this year. DeLisle comes on like the ghost of Mother Maybelle or Kitty Wells (although sexier and more polished than either), and her songwriting shows ample hours studying at the feet of Dolly Parton (insert jokes about "the shade" here). A little research shows that DeLisle is an ultra-slick Hollywood voiceover queen and has released two homegrown retro-country albums prior to taking the big leap into spooky folk aimed straight for the O Brother! market. Yeah, I'm a bit jaded, but this album is clearly a fake and not afraid to admit it. (I love how the added ambient crackles and hiss on some songs fade out before the music does!) And yet, it's stunningly beautiful and DeLisle's talent as a singer and a songwriter cannot be denied. But she seems very market savvy/driven and going after a niche, I think; too often from head and not from the heart as it were. Still, it's far, far, far superior to the icky yuppie "country" slopped out on Norah Jones version 2.0. I wouldn't recommend The Graceful Ghost to anyone in place of authentic rural American field recordings, however I do think it stands a good chance to make my list for the best of '04 -- 2004 and not 1804, that is.

the nineteenth century, yes, but not our nineteenth century.......2004-04-21

Grey De Lisle has beauty -- physical and esthetic -- and an exotic, mysterious name and sound. She is also a brilliant mimic. Reread the previous sentence, and see where the emphasis falls. Was it on "brilliant" or "mimic"? If it was the latter, you'll hear the best imitation that will ever be of Dolly Parton at her most traditional-sounding. If your eye fell on "brilliant," you will probably, on hearing the appropriately titled Graceful Ghost (which you can read on two levels; see "brilliant" and "mimic" above), hear something that amounts to a smart, subtle, deeply understood approximation of the old mountain songs and urban parlor ballads that inspired, and comprised the repertoire of, the Carter Family. Even the titles (though in prosaic fact denoting De Lisle originals) -- "The Maple Tree," "Tell Me True," "Turtle Dove," "Black Haired Boy" -- sound like the titles of Carter Family songs from a parallel universe. Actually, "Katy Allen" brings to the astonished senses the notion of an extraordinarily improbable collaboration between the Carter Family and Donovan. All of the songs here are very good for what they are, if you can accept what they are, but long after you've turned off the stereo -- no matter who you are, whatever you think of what's going on here -- it is unlikely that "Katy Allen" will let you be.

A moody, challenging Americana album.......2004-04-08

Wow... talk about a shift of direction! After self-releasing a pair of semi-dismal rockabilly-retro albums, LA-based singer-songwriter Grey DeLisle has apparently found her metier, slowing things down and penning a bunch of spooky-sounding Carter Family/Dolly Parton-styled acoustic, old-timey ballads, material that fits her somewhat shaky voice much better than the uptempo bluesiness of the rockabilly scene. Before this disc came out, she was firmly planted on my "danger sign" list -- now I'm really curious to see where she goes from here. Admittedly, this disc is still gimmicky and bandwagonesque in an entirely different kind of way, but it has an atmospheric feel that works for me. Definitely worth checking out... Fans of Be Good Tanyas and Jolie Holland will probably like this as well.

Dolly Parton meets Ken Burns at the Civil War.......2004-03-18

This stunning CD is like a cross between the simple and infectious porch music of an early Dolly Parton record and a smart and evocative soundtrack of a Civil War movie. These aren't so much songs as little portraits whose characters ache-with both lust and sorrow. The CD is almost whimsical in the light touch it gives these deep lyrics. Grey De Lisle first caught my ear with her gorgeous voice and sometimes hilarious, always woeful lyrics about man problems on her self-produced Homewrecker CD (most memorable line: "I shoved 19 years of nerve into this dress, and I'm only 22"). This new CD uses her lyrical cleverness to tell stories of whole, desperate lives. I was so awestruck on first listen that I wondered if it would wear well: it does. It has that easygoing charm of Dolly's early records. I listen over and over as if the songs are old classics that keep the memories alive of lost stories and lost loves. They sound so genuine that even the one cover of a country classic seems like De Lisle's own. It's the simplicity that brings me back; it sounds like it was recorded on vintage sound equipment with no more in it than a few great musicians, their instruments, and their whole hearts. My favorite CD of this year.

Collection of 1989-1999 Live Recordings is Superb.......2002-03-05

In 1999, while still in between labels, Over The Rhine issued this sequel of sorts to "Besides", their 1997 collection of odds and sodds. "Amateur Shortwave Radio" is a collection of live tracks of the band's first ten years. It is a superb collection.

"Like A Radio" starts things of beautifully, with a haunting solo from Ric and crystal clear vocals from Karen. There are 2 covers, both from 1990: a faithful take on the Stones' "Ruby Tuesday", and more interestingly the Beatles' "Blackbird", which OTR makes totally its own. The album includes the long-time concert staple "Jack's Valentine", here in a 1999 recording. Linford brings it with just the right amount of wit and sarcasm.

There are also 3 new songs on here: "Moth", a truly soaring "Anyway", and "I Will Remember", with newest OTR member Jack Henderson's ripping guitar solo. It is an appropriate ending for this exquisite collection of songs. In many ways, this album is better than many of the band's "regular" albums.

Almost perfect........2002-02-15

Aside from one track I don't care for, this is a solid mix of live and studio recordings from Cinncinatti's Over The Rhine. The live power of "Like a radio" (including a gorgeous guitar solo) and the beauty of the simple "Mary's waltz" shine brightly here as does the great slow-burner "I will remember". "Moth" and "Anyway" are also great tracks, the latter being my favorite on the disc because of the wonderful guitar solo in the middle. Check it out. Highly recommended.

Over the Rhine - Cincy's Gift to Music.......2000-10-20

What to say about a CD that just gets better with each listen. Over the Rhine is one of those bands who have continued to make music with integrity, rather quietly, for over ten years. This collection of live version of OtR favorites is more than a "greatest hits" package, however; songs are given new arrangements rather than being mere rehashes of what appears on earlier CD's. Vocalist Karin Bergquist could not sound more sultry if she tried on a track like "My Love is a Fever." The haunting "Anyway" will make any listener wonder about past relationships, especially those that may be strained and need a little mending. "Circle of Quiet" is sheer brilliance; its series of sort of false endings is hypnotic and shows off Linford Detweiler's brilliance as a musician. And, of course, anyone who knows OtR knows that "Like a Radio" is a classic. When compared to the drivel on most radio stations today, Over the Rhine is a thinking person's band. Buy this CD; give them a listen. When they are in your area in concert, go see them. Over the Rhine never disappoint, just as this CD does not disappoint the discriminating music lover.

Over the Rhine rocks..........2000-04-22

I've been a fan of Over the Rhine for many many years, and i'm just soo glad that they're getting out there and that more people are hearing them. I'd have to say that my favorite Over the Rhine album is a toss up between this and Good Dog Bad Dog. No matter what though, over the rhine rocks in concert!!!

Thank You.......2000-02-19

This ten year retrospective of Over the Rhine is fabulous. As someone who has been seeing OtR live several times a year for the past seven or eight years, I am very thankful for the release of this album. Instead of simply rehashing local radio favorites, OtR has crafted a CD of live tracks, rare gems and a couple of new songs that live up to the OtR tradition.

Home Grown Upright.......2001-11-09

I've got all of David Lanz and Jim Brickman and love their music.
But, if I really want to "go home" and get in touch with music that soothes me, consoles me, and reminds me that I'm always safe as long as the soft light's on next to Daddy's chair and Mom is at the piano, then it has to be Linford at the upright. Music that whispers "all's right with the world" is hard to find. But, this CD lures you into an Eden where believe it or not, you believe.

Intimate recording of solo piano perfect for rainy days........2000-06-25

Linford Detweiler, brainchild behind the Cincinnati band Over the Rhine, has offed up his first solo piano album, "I Don't Think There's No Need to Bring Nothin'." Besides the cryptic title, there's nothing mysterious about the album--just a lot of stark beauty. The songs are bare yet graceful, minimal yet refined. On several of the tracks, you can hear the piano moan and creak, and I swear you can hear Linford breathing (or sighing). This is another initmate offspring from a member of one of the music industry's best-kept secrets, Over the Rhine. Picture yourself in your home library sipping earl grey at your antique mahogany desk. You're feeling reflective, and outside it's pouring. The rain tapping at your roof and windows offers up a relaxing cadence. This would be the perfect soundtrack for that kind of day.

This CD feels so intimate that you could close your eyes and almost believe you're nestled in a cozy chair right in the artist's living room. There's a little bit of something for everyone with beautifully haunting melodies and fun, smooth jazz tunes. Excellent!
