Editorial Reviews

FEVER TREE Fever Tree (2009 US exclusive limited edition 11-track LP pressed on Audiophile Quality High Definition Virgin Vinyl - Fever Tree?s lone hit single the haunting 1968 tribal anthem San Francisco Girls [Return of the Native] perfectly captured the spirit of the psychedelic era. Although their signature hit led many to assume that they were a Bay Area band Fever Tree actually hailed from Houston Texas. San Francisco Girls is also the centerpiece of FeverTree?s self-titled first LP one of the period?s most distinctive debut efforts. As the album demonstrates the quintet was adept at incorporating jazz and classical influences ambitious song structures and resourceful production touches. Such memorable numbers as The Sun Also Rises and Come with Me [Rainsong] benefit from Dennis Keller?s hypnotic vocals Michael Knust?s dynamic guitar work and Rob Landes? inventive keyboard textures. Also included is a memorable medley of the Beatles? Day Tripper and We Can Work It Out and a unique interpretation of the Neil Young/Buffalo Springfield nugget Nowadays Clancy Can?t Even Sing. Fever Tree?s expansive musical settings also feature key contributions from a pair of noted arrangers: David Angel renowned for his work on Love?s Forever Changes and Gene Page whose resume includes work with the likes of Phil Spector and Marvin Gaye; presented in sealed & stickered picture sleeve with printed inner bag)

This review is from: Fever Tree [Vinyl] (Vinyl)

Doesn't Fever Tree lead singer Dennis Keller remind you of The Guess Who's Burton Cummings? This was roundly confirmed for me the other night when I played "Friends Of Mine," maybe the Guess Who's only psychedelic romp from Wheatfield Soul, next to "San Fransisco Girls." by this band.

Both singers have a honey and growl that could have had them fronting any soul band. But unlike the Guess Who, this album by Fever Tree shows this band was less interested in the ballad or hit single to support their more rock oriented or experimental work.

This album is a mix of organ and nicely arranged psychedelia from the early part of the musical era, when any style could be translated through phase shifters and strange echos. This music is pure acid rock--dated yes. But if you have worn out your copies of Surrealistic Pillow and Sgt Pepper and really want the acid under your nails, check this band out
