5.0 out of 5 stars Classic, August 6, 2004

This review is from: Russian Lullabies (Audio CD)

This is one of the rare albums to emerge from the CCM market that is absolutely essential. It's out of print (though it looks like there are still a few copies, used, that you can get through Amazon at this point) so the band has the album available as a legal and free download off their site.

Havalina is one of those rare bands who can switch up their sound every album, and yet still have the music feel like Havalina. This is their best, although "Space, Love, and Bullfighting" is also great.

This review is from: Russian Lullabies (Audio CD)

I have bought this album more times than any other -- as gifts, replacements for my own lost/lent out copy, etc.

The faraway sadness, the influences of Tom Waits (before I'd even heard of Tom Waits); the beautiful originality, and the adventurous yet honest approach make this album a trip all over the map musically, and one of the most challenging and rewarding CDs I own.

Recently I lost my only copy of Russian Lullabyes, and it is impossible to re-obtain, being out of print. It has taken me several weeks, and I still have not recovered from the idea I may never hear "Total Depravity" again.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most bittersweet, wonderful albums, May 16, 1999

Havalina Rail Co. manage to capture so much emotion on this album. From the jumpy opening track "Tundra" to the "Red and Blue Lights(in St. Petersburgh)" they have set themselves apart from any other musical group. Can't wait to hear their other stuff.
