5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT CD, October 18, 2000
By 
This review is from: Folktales (Audio CD)
This new set by Minneapolis`s Big Wu shows the band maturing in both their songwriting and playing. Like their previous studio recording Tracking Buffalo Through the Bathtub, this CD is filled with great hooks, humorous lyrics, and an incredible 3 guitar attack. Though three of the songs appeared on their Live CD, they sound great in the studio. A good CD from one the great bands from the jam scene, I recommend this to anyone one likes great groove and jam music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music to the ear, January 7, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Folktales (Audio CD)
The Big Wu has a nack for creating both jam friendly and masses friendly music. My friend who are 'jam band' fans (for lack of a better term) love this album and so do my friends who listen to mostly pop music. The music isn't weird like a lot of the stuff put out by many bands on the jam band scene. It is pretty simple and straight-forward for the most part and yet provides excellent structure to use as springboards for improvising. Big Wu has found a was to be as close to radio friendly as possible while still keeping intact their jam band style. On another positive note, the music of "Folktales" just makes me smile. If you are new to the jam band scene I highly recomend this album because it is easy on the ears and not too far out there. On the other hand, if you love jam bands then I highly recomend this CD for you too. Big Wu's "Folktales" will not dissapoint you. Stand out tracks are "Minnasota Moon", "Boxing Day" and "Oxygen", although all the other songs are good too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Driving CD!!!, March 23, 2002
By 
David Streich (Clovis, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Folktales (Audio CD)
Boy I'll tell ya, I was unsure of this CD when I bought it at a Wu show in Santa Cruz. Then I listened to it while driving to the desert and it is one of the best CD's around!!!! I can imagine Boxing Day as a radio single. Minnesota moon is just too much fun,Two Person Chair and Oxygen crawls into your brain and hits the nerve to tap your feet and S.O.S will sail into your side that loves a great extended song. All the songs are great! The Wu is a great and welcomed band in the world of 12 song only radio stations!
