Editorial Reviews
A Fir Ju Well offers an accomplished, densely atmospheric and well crafted followed up to their critically acclaimed first release El Torero. The second album, titled Absolutely A Fir Ju Well and released on Atlanta’s alt-rock powerhouse International Hits, evidences both the artistic maturity of the band and their ever-evolving skill at creating memorably textured songs. Using the off kilter pop/rock/psychedelic schema that made El Torero unforgettable, A Fir Ju Well emits the kind of musical prose that is both addictively transparent and fundamentally rich. Adding to the arsenal of the band is a darker, more expansive production value that stretches the sonic range of well-crafted songs into edgier, more luminous territory.
For a true taste of contemporary artistry and a fulfilling musical attunement, check out Absolutely A Fir Ju Well.

5.0 out of 5 stars
My favorite new album,
By rock and roll lover (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Absolutely a fir-ju-well (Audio CD)
This album starts where El Torero and a fir-ju well leave off. Every song is solid. Every song is thoughtful. Although I wish they had enclosed the lyrics with the album, I've figured them out by repeated listening on my headset. I love the tunes, but the though provoking words reveal deep insights into American culture in the new millenia. I can't figure out why these guys haven't been signed by one of the major record companies.

'Absolutely' Worth a Shot,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Absolutely (MP3 Download)
Well, it seems the M.O. of this album is to give each track an unpredictable, acoustic 10-30 second opening, before launching into some youthful and well-crafted dixie/bluesy/westerny rock. It gets the job done, though the insatiable critic in me feels like struggles to be more than the sum of its parts. Tracks 1 and 5 are my top picks.Evidently this band now goes by the name 'Gringo Starr', proving that they really can not pick a stage name to save their lives.

Name change,
By jolomo (Atlanta, GA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Absolutely a fir-ju-well (Audio CD)
If you're looking for new work by them, they changed their name to "Gringo Star" four years ago and have two or three CD's under that name. Go get 'em.
