Editorial Reviews

Review

Shibboleth's excellent second CD is a Whitman's Sampler of instrumental rock: Booker T.-style jams sit side-by-side with surf tunes, synth struts and sci-fi cowpoke ditties. On the off chance you miss the humor in the music, check out the song titles: Meatballs, Bill Cosby & These Are My Cousins Gastro and Cydebar. --Dallas Morning News


Product Description

INSTRUMENTAL ROCK THAT WILL PIN YOU TO YOUR CHAIR AND RE-STYLE YOUR HAIR. If the first Shibboleth release was a prime time television special, Experiment in Error is a theatrical, wide screen experience. Recorded over the span of three years under the watchful eye of Stuart Sikes (White Stripes, Loretta Lynn), the sophomore release began with a focus on the core of the band - organ, guitar, bass and drums. Several years of live playing tightened the band and the addition of drummer Jim White (Allison Krauss) is undeniable. After the initial tracks were completed it became clear that the material demanded a more detailed approach and many months of overdubbing ensued. Various and sundry vintage keyboards and synthesizers were acquired and put to use. The horn skills of Chris McGuire and Randy Graham were employed. The tambourine and shaker stylings of Matt Kellum captured. A new guitar amp was purchased. Old guitar amps were borrowed. Seasons passed. Haircuts were received. And finally, one sunny day in March, Experiment in Error was removed from the oven and gingerly placed on the windowsill to cool. Serve at room temperature with a wedge of cheddar cheese and a pint of Guinness. For just a moment, you are stranded in an elevator with the least-popular members of T-Rex, The Carpenters and The Kinks, along with George Jones hairpiece. The elevator shudders somewhere between the mezzanine and rooftop grotto, and suddenly you are rocketed skyward by the excruciatingly serene tones of Shibboleth. Forty-fi ve minutes later the bell dings and you re on your way back to the lobby. Shibboleth is Rich Martin (Keyboards), Don Cento (Guitars), James Driscoll (The Bass). The band performs live with a revolving cast of superstars.

5.0 out of 5 stars More Stuff You Can't Get Out of Your Head, May 19, 2008
By curtis martin (Redmond, WA, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Everyone who I've turned onto a Shibb CD thinks it's weird the first time they play it. "Where are the vocals?" they invariably ask. But, despite their initial hesitation, they always play the CD a second time--always. And after the third time they've played it, they start telling me about which tunes are stuck in their heads.

This is the stuff of all great pop art. At first it seems as simple and familiar as a radio jingle (or painting of a Soup Can). Then you start noticing the oddness of it. Then the true complexity. Then once you get over the details you notice the whole again, and it becomes just fun as hell, and as familiar as the theme from Good Times. Then you start noticing how odd it is again, and you're all the way full circle and ready to start all over.

Whatever the opposite of "disposable" music is--Shibboleth is it!

When I think of Shibboleth and their "so retro it's new" sound, I'm reminded of a line from one of the late, great James Brown's last songs:
"Forget about the past, watch me in your rear view mirror glass--I'm gone!"

Shibboleth is gone, too--I mean, gone man, real gone!
