5.0 out of 5 stars 2nd time's the charm, May 22, 2006

I learned of The Sharp Things by seeing them open for The Tindersticks. They won me over as well as the rest of the crowd, I went out and bought Here Comes The Sharp Things the next day and that record was one of my favorites that year. I was anxiously waiting to see what they could do second time around. Foxes and Hounds has surpassed my high expectations. The songs are even stronger and the lush arrangements of strings and brass add to the beauty. She Left With The Sun is absolutely gorgeous and 50 Heads Over High Street shows a rockier side. As the opening track promises, There Will Be Violins... indeed.

I had the great pleasure of seeing this amazing band last year and I have to say they are new, fresh and very original. Music that has depth and meaning and is played by craftsmen (and women). Perry Serpa's lyrics are insightful and filled with a sense of yearning and romance. "Suicide Bombers" is incredible as is "Homeless". But the lyrics and the vocal on "Love With The Proper Stranger" bring the house down. This duet is just beautiful. I suggest if you want to have a romantic night with a special person get a nice bottle of wine, light the fire place and get this CD!
