5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a fresh, new sound!, January 18, 2000

By	SK (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Getaway People (Audio CD)

Like a cross between Beck and G.Love, these guys have a fresh soulful groove with a an original sound that is all their own. I especially liked "Chocolate" and " Does My Color Scare You". I'm picky about my music, but I HIGHLY recommend this CD.

By A Customer

This review is from: The Getaway People (Audio CD)

They're like the Average White Band of the 90s. Soulful grooves, hip lyrics, cool melodies. Awesome album!

5.0 out of 5 stars So Funky!, April 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Getaway People (Audio CD)

I love the Getaway People's debut album. Their style caught my eye when they opened for Barenaked Ladies this November, and I have been hooked ever since. Their music is brimming with funk and soul and listening to their CD just puts me in such a great mood. You have to try them!!!
