5.0 out of 5 stars songwriting bliss, July 22, 2001

I bought "Popular Demons" because of Buddy Miller's involvement, but found that the singing, performances, and songwriting were all top-notch. This is a CD I listen to frequently.

The performances match the songwriting. Mr. Trooper does not overreach. His singing is understated and he lets the song melodies tell the stories as much as the lyrics do. Frequently reminds me of Slaid Cleaves.

"Bluebell", "22 Miles to Bristol" and "Paradise" work especially well for me. I purchase his most recent--"Straight Down Rain"--and to me the songwriting, singing and overall performances are not as strong. Makes me treasure "Popular Demons" all the more.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite album., July 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Popular Demons (Audio CD)

I picked up this album on a lark in a used cd bin in a local music store. It is the album that I play the most currently. I consider myself to be far more alternative than country, but I have carted this cd around so much that track 7 is scratched and won't play right any more. This album is so much more rich and interesting than most contemporary country-definitely not your run-of-the_mill country. These songs, especially tracks 1,3-5, and 12 move me greatly and make me want to dance. Buy this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Wonderful!, August 31, 1999

WHY does this artist remain relatively "unknown" (?) except by old friends and followers who have to scavenge on line in the hope that there is something new from this wonderful voice and song-writing talent. Guess it's like truffles--you have to dig for the true delicacies.
