Hot Club of Cow Town




Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)
Review Comments: I first heard the group "Hot Club of Cow Town" in Aspen some years ago. My friends and I followed them to the Tractor Tavern in Seattle a few years later, keeping this extraordinary group in our sights ever since.
Elena Fremerman (sp?) makes a violin do things that certain currently influential groups would lose control of basic body functions over. Her interpretation of classic folk, country swing, show tunes and other great music has been honored recently by other great artists.
I've heard her voice described variously as "clear" and "smoky". I understand both descriptions, embrace them, and add "and a whole lot more."
I recommend the music of Hot Club of Cow Town and Elena Fremerman to people who like the genres, "country swing", "Show tunes","folk", (at this point I'm over my head) Just fun music.
Fun playing, but hold the vocals



Album Rating: (4 of 5 stars)
Review Comments: Bold, joyous playing, at times precise, at times reckless, make this a treat to listen to. But be prepared for some weak vocals (by two of the three band members). Lovers of old country are not sticklers for staying on key, and know there's a great deal of expressive power in the deliberate roughness of Bill Monroe. Vern Williams and others. But crooning that goes flat provokes more wincing than dancing. Still--a talented and fun group gets my qualified yeehaw.
This is the best one

Review Comments: Fun swing music and great group. If you are only going to buy one album, this would be my pick.

Review Comments: I dunno, like the music a lot, but then i almost like every swing-revivel cd out there. This is the first review i write, i'm writing it because i feel i have to explain why i gave this wonderful cd "only" four stars. Well, thats because i discoverd "andrew bird's bowl of fire" before i've discovered "hot town". Their album, "trills' is kind of above all ratings so i cannot get myself to rating this album as high as theirs. If you like this album, you're gonna adore "thrills".
