Editorial Reviews

Co-produced with Bob Harris, Joyful Sign features the band's folk/pop/bluegrass sound but with a sense of confidence, energy and spirit that the trio has become known for live. The album is a showcase for memorable, well-crafted songs, graced by the group's signature three-part harmonies. And after six years of living, playing and touring together, the chemistry between Doris, Ty, and Nate has never been more evident. The members of Girlyman, all classically trained, trade off songwriting duties and a slew of instruments including acoustic guitar, banjo, baritone guitar, djembe and mandolin. "We're also big harmony geeks," adds Greenstein. "Our arrangements definitely reflect that." 1 Hold it all at Bay 2 Sunday Morning Bird 3 Good Enough 4 Through to Sunrise 5 Invite Me In 6 St. Peter's Bones 7 Joyful Sign 8 Carols at Christmas 9 Easy Pearls 10 Reva Thereafter 11 You Were the Lie 12 Ashen Shade 13 Serve It Up 14 Right Here Beautiful music. Girlyman's harmony-driven style veers from urban folk to country to rock to calypso doo-wop, as the songwriters effortlessly switch off lead vocals."

My introduction to Girlyman came with their outstanding album Little Star, which I still consider one of my favorite albums of the past five years or so. By comparison I was a little disappointed with Joyful Sign. The rich, shimmering harmonies are still here in spades, but I find the music to somehow lack the energy and momentum that charged most of Little Star. This is still a good album however and will probably be well received by fans.

I have a tendency to compare them to Indigo Girls. The lyrics arent quite as profound or poetic, and they can overdue the harmony thing at times, but the songs are enjoyable the CD is in my top50 or so.

It's been driving me crazy: I can't remember how or where I first heard about Girlyman. However I did, I'm grateful. They're wonderful!
This purchase actually was a birthday gift for a friend -- I've been listening to my own copy (and singing unharmoniously along in the car) for months -- and the recipient just called yesterday with enthusiastic thanks, saying I always choose to her taste with my gifts of music.
The songs are beautifully written, the harmonies are gorgeous, the instrumentation simple and fitting. And they're every bit as good in concert as they are on CD, or even better. They performed a few new songs at the last live show I attended, so I hope it won't be too long before their next recording is out. Thanks for the music, Doris, Ty and Nate!
