This review is from: Sister Hazel (Audio CD)

It's not to say that Sister Hazel's self-titled album isn't unlike anything you've heard before. The catchy tunes, simple riffs, and open vocals will remind you of any number of bands: Hootie and the Blowfish, Counting Crows, Third Eye Blind. That doesn't mean, though, that "Sister Hazel" isn't a great album. The music is simple and the lyrics are sometimes downright cheesey ("One Nation"). But nonetheless, Sister Hazel delivers a precision product that pleases with the intensity, compassion and soulfullness in a way that will likely conjur an image of their namesake.

Whether I like "Somewhere More Familiar" or "Fortress" less or more than the self-titled "Sister Hazel" all depends on the day that you ask me. "Sister Hazel" is undoubtedly more bluesey than the others, especially prominent in "Will Not Follow" and "Bring It On Home" which also draws on some obvious gospel influences. You'll find yourself bee-boppin' to the upbeats of "Feel It" and "Sometimes". The toned down harmonious version of "All for You" while heartfelt reminds me a little too much of Extreme's "More Than Words" to be my favorite version, but still an 'ok' rendition.

All in all, I still find myself continually impressed with the five member band from Gainesville Florida. They're well worth the listen.

This review is from: Sister Hazel (Audio CD)

I first became aware of Sister Hazel on the Fleetwood Mactribute album, where they sang "Gold Dust Woman" and justblew me away. So I scampered right over to Amazon.com to pick up a full Sister Hazel disk, and I've gotten blown away again. How much blowing away can one guy tolerate? Lots, when the music is this good. The sound to me is reminiscent both of Crosby Stills & Nash and, especially, the Bodeans, and in both cases that's a big compliment coming from me. This is good, good, good stuff -- slightly twangy, rocking, acoustic-y and just great!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Worth The Buy!, May 11, 1999

This review is from: Sister Hazel (Audio CD)

I had been listening to a Cleveland radio station at work. I had been bored with the music that had been on lately. All of a sudden, there's this song on called ALL FOR YOU. I was immediately hooked! I quickly did a web search for the song because the station failed to mention who the group was. Lo and behold, I had discovered Sister Hazel.

This CD combines several styles of music with pure tones that exhibit the talent of Sister Hazel at its best. I am a big fan of acoustic guitar playing, since it is an art in and of itself. Sister Hazel does not disappoint. If you like groups such as Barenaked Ladies, the Eagles and the like, you will be playing this CD over and over again.

This CD is also one where I don't skip tracks. Each song has its own strength. The arrangements are solid, solid vocals nailing each and every song.

Absolutely worth the buy!
