5.0 out of 5 stars Grant goes solo, September 24, 2002

I know this album has been released for a while but nobody has written anything on it yet so I thought I would give it a shot.

I have been a long time fan of Grant Lee Phillips. From the days of Grant in Grant Lee Buffalo, I have closely followed his music career. Armed with a twelve string acoustic guitar and his incredible voice of scratchy low whispers to high floating falsettos, Grant once again proves that his singing and songwriting hasn't fallen with Grant Lee Buffalo. Ladie's Love Oracle is a much more stripped down version than the earlier GLB sound. Usually with only a piano, guitar, and vocals, LLO is a much more organic sounding album. While listening, you almost feel that Grant is right in the room playing and singing for you playing these great new songs. The album really exposes Grant in respect to his voice and songwriting ability due to such sparse instrumentation. The direction of LLO still holds true to Grant's style of folk/rock songwriting. And what better person to help in his solo project than with Jon Brion.

If you have been a Grant Lee Buffalo fan or are just looking for something new, I would highly recommend LLO.

I stumbled across this CD just a couple of weeks ago. I'd never heard of Grant Lee Phillips before, but decided to give it a try after a qucik listen at the store. This is a GREAT CD. Very mellow, great vocals and a nice blend of simple instrumentation. I haven't stopped playing it. I'm looking forward to hearing more of his stuff.

This is Grant Lee Phillips' first solo cd and like the next two (Mobilize and Virginia Creeper), this one is original, unique and amazingly crafted. Grant Lee is one of the best songwriters in the U.S. today. The only thing better than listening to the cd is catching him live. I've had the pleasure of seeing him in Amsterdam, Denver, D.C. and Boulder and lemme tell ya: he is tremendous on stage.
