Dewdrops

Product Description
Incorporating vocals, acoustic and electric guitars, mandolin, banjo, bass, drums, piano, organ, live strings and horns, the Jacksonville, Florida native’s "Dewdrops" is a brilliant, organic mix of acoustic based songs, coupled with layered melodies of sound that will capture the heart and attention of all who hear it.The 14-song set speaks frankly of Ashton’s own humanity, of a pride that battles humility, of loss in search of an explanation and ultimately, but most importantly, of love. Ashton has a natural ability to draw from within, expressing himself through a tapestry of words and music.

Dee-lite :Dew Drops in the Garden.......2007-05-12

Mostly likely there best cd. More of a Techno edge to it from there last. I love it.

One of the best album ever, hands down!.......2006-10-31

Excellent mix of hip hop beats, killer vocals/lyrics, and high energy house/techno. I am definitely a fan of the slower tracks(Say ahhh, stay in bed, etc). Anyone who digs cool dance beats should own this!

Best dance album ever.......2006-06-09

It's got it all. Great melodies. Some songs are just absolutely tremendous like Apple Juice Kissing, Call Me, Pinic in the Summertime.

It is a shame nobody has heard of this album. It really is great and if you managed to get this far to be thinking about buying it, buy it.

It also is great from start to finish which is very rare for a 16 song album.

The beats are INFECTIOUS!!!.......2006-02-12

This album is bar none, one of the BEST dance albums ever!!! So ahead of it's time!! It's such a shame they are not togther anymore. If they ever get together to do a reunion show, I will be sure to be there!! You DEFINITLEY will not be disappointed by this one!!

AMAZING!.......2005-12-30

this album is probably the most unknown greatest album of all time... the few who know about them, are so lucky and know exactly what i am talking about.. hopefully, lady kier, dimitri, and ani see this somehow and start making tracks again... they were and are so ahead of their time... this album is a must have...

You're not Elliott Smith, don't try........2006-05-04

This album would be great except for one thing; Elliott Smith already made this music with much more emotion and purity and soul. Being a big ES fan someone told me to check Ashton Allen out. This album only made me miss Elliott Smith more.

Comparing to Smith.......2006-01-22

The first time I heard this album, I was struck by how much Ashton Allen reminds me of a lighter version of Elliot Smith. Of course, maybe that is not a good thing for Ashton Allen since Elliot Smith fans crave the melodic heaviness that Smith could bring to a song. Ashton Allen's songs may seem immature, not fully developed, or at least lacking something because of that comparison, which is very hard to avoid making. However, without that comparison, Ashton Allen's music is quite enjoyable, and I would definately recommend buying this album.

Mellow album from newcomer Aston Allen.......2006-01-11

THE BAND: Aston Allen (acoustic & electric guitars, bass, piano, organ), Shannon Forrest (drums), Ilya Toshinsky (lead guitar, banjo, mandolin), and assorted players on violin, viola, cello, trombone, trumpet and french horn.

THE DISC: (2005) 14 tracks clocking in at approximately 50 minutes. A 6-page booklet includes song lyrics, band members and thank you's. All songs written by Allen. Label - Livewire.

COMMENTS: While this is good mellow music... it did not reach out and grab me as I had hoped it would. Allen's vocals are breathy - and he doesn't fluctuate much from there. He always seems like he's in the same mood, using the same tone. In hind sight, I wish he'd sing with a little more conviction - like the way a young Paul McCartney or Bob Dylan would do on some of their early acoustic songs. When I first heard the album, I could picture Allen singing his songs next to Phoebe Buffay at the local coffee house on "Friends". Allen's music fits into that safe adult contemporary lite-FM venue. Many similarities to Elliot Smith, Peter Yorn, Howie Day, early CSNY, even John Mayer, Coldplay or an acoustic Oasis. It's non-threatening music... the kind you might find in an elevator or a dentist's office some day. Allen is an accomplished musician and artist. He writes a nice song and plays many an instrument. He is most apt at his guitar. Several songs are strictly voice and acoustic guitar ("Dewdrops", "Every Hour Of The Day", "Prodigal Son"). Track 6 features Allen on piano with his voice matching the strokes on piano... probably my least favorite song here. The best songs are when the whole band is playing, complete with strings and horns... relaxed and unhurried in every way, filled with lush tones, thoughtful and smart lyrics, just beautiful melodies ("Better Than I Know", "Counting The Cost", "Steven's Song", "Something To Say"). Over all a decent debut - looking foward to hearing what his next few albums sound like... and, hoping on some songs he steps outside the box a bit. If you like songs rich and soft in quality, then this album is for you.

Elliott Wannabe.......2006-01-06

He's got all the sonic elements in place to be a perfect simulacram of the late, great genius, Mr. Smith..but what's missing is the substance, the soul...this is readily apparent through reading Ashton's lyrics: deep they're not.

Very Good.......2005-12-21

One of my favorites of the year. Smart songwriting, nice melodies. Comparisons to other artists (Smith, Drake, etc) are warranted and time will tell if Allen measures up to those guys.

Buy it. You'll like it. I swear.

Customer Reviews:

A Great Recording of a Great Organ.......2007-05-27

The organ on this recording is generally believed to be the largest "residence organ" in the world, with over ten thousand pipes. It was purchased by Pierre du Pont (1870-1954) in 1929 for his grand estate in southeastern Pennsylvania. That estate, known as Longwood Gardens, is now open to the public, and the organ remains in situ in the music room attached to Longwood's dramatic conservatories. (The organ is currently undergoing a thorough restoration, which is scheduled to be completed in 2008.)

Performing on this disc is Thomas Murray, probably the greatest living concert organist. His light touch, and the pieces he has chosen, do a terrific job of displaying this organ's capabilities. The program includes two movements from "Longwood Sketches," a piece written for this organ by Firmin Swinnen (1885-1972). Swinnen, a native of Belgium, gained renown as a concert and movie organist before being hired in the mid-1920s by Pierre du Pont to perform regularly at Longwood. The "Sketches" are whimsical, romantic pieces that show off the organist's virtuosity and the instrument's many colors.

This is an excellent recording, highly recommended for fans of the concert organ and its repertoire.
