5.0 out of 5 stars Incomparable!, October 7, 2004

This disc represents quite a departure from my usual tastes in music. It's entirely acoustic, and features the cleverest, most insightful songwriting I've ever heard. The band's "light motif structure" revolves primarily around the differences between men and women, which they present in a hilarious, non-threatening manner. I mean it-- some of this stuff is laugh-out-loud funny. Additionally, the performances are flawless, with lots of skillful vocal harmonizing, and a great stage presence, as demonstrated in their interactions with the audience during the show at which this album was recorded. I don't have one bad thing to say about this disc. While I'm no expert on folk and acoustic music, these guys must be the pinnacle of the form; they're great ambassadors for the genre. My usual taste in music is speed-metal and hardcore, but the brilliance of this disc won me over. Do yourself a favor and buy this, whatever your usual preferences.

This is an outstanding, must-have work, regardless of your general musical taste.

Their lighter fair is what first drew me to them, each song being well-written, poetic in structure and phrasing, with the power to make me smile gently with each new listening. Every song is beautifully crafted, even when the topic might be dated now (anybody remember Isaac?)

My favorite track, "Silent Night," will rip your heart out with its loveliness and sadness.

The title track's lyrics are clever and intelligent without resorting to rudeness or condescension.

I've enjoyed this on vinyl for a couple of decades so far. I finally bought a turntable so I could rip it to digital, so naturally--at last--it's available on CD. (No matter, there are plenty more albums in the cabinets.)

Buy this album!

I first heard this album back in 1986. A co-worker was playing it at a costume shop I was working in at the time. I went out the next day and bought the tape and I've been enjoying it ever since. I must say I was thrilled to see it finally released in CD format. The songs are witty, insightful and in the case of my personal favorite, "Silent Night" beautiful. If you enjoy acoustic music I suggest you give Uncle Bonsai a try.
