Well, I am now officially a "Stew" fan. I ran across Stew on [...] doing a song called "Black Men Ski," and was entertained enough that it stuck in my head. To be fair, I was as entertained by the audiences reaction as anything. I then, totally unrelated and by accident, saw someone on a forum make a reference to "The Naked Dutch Painter." Hey, with a name like that I had to look it up! One listen lead to another, and next thing I knew I had the CD! Now I need another one! While not all the songs are as good as the "Naked Dutch Painter," many of them are very neat in their own way. Not all are funny and some are downright disturbing, but I'm okay with that! And again, to be honest, if you are strictly a "top 40's" kind of person, you probably aren't going to like this. The lyrics and music both tend to be off the normal, beaten path, and some of the messages are not always comfy. But still a great listen if you like random weird stuff!

Heard Stew... and bought this CD based on hearing two or three songs. Best "discovery" I've made in a long, long time. Stew is one of a kind, a genius as an arranger, a clever (and irreverant) lyricist, a haunting voice (kind of a Cat Stevens meets Dave Matthews meets Joe Cocker meets...), etc. These songs root in your head and the CD plays as if it's the first listen each time you spin it. Also, I'd be remiss not to mention the outstanding contribution base player Heidi Rodewald makes to this CD. Her background vocals are sublime and take these songs to another dimension. Bravos abound with this musical masterpiece!

The Stew Ensemble blends clever and sometimes funny lyrics with a beautifully arranged mix of soul, pop, rock and a little show tunes influence to make the mixture that is uniquely them. The samples you find here are not a good indication of what the disc is like, but trust me, unless your just a diehard metalhead, you'll love this CD.
