5.0 out of 5 stars Truly a "desert-island" cd, July 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sister Sweetly (Audio CD)

Anybody who appreciates great songwriting should have this cd. We never take a car trip without it; like "Dark Side of the Moon," for example, it fits all moods and is playable every day. BHTM classics like the poignant "Broken Hearted Savior," the sad-but-amusing "Turn the Light Out," "Soul for Every Cowboy," the lyrics to which are reverently quoted on every Todd Tribute website; the reassuring "It's Alright," the more produced version of Midnight Radio's "Bittersweet," and crowd-singalong favorites "Circle" and "Brother John" make this one of the best albums in existence. BHTM should be millionaires by virtue of this album alone, not to mention their impressive body of work as a whole.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best BHTM CD, September 6, 2001

This was the first BHTM CD I bought. I heard "It's Alright" on the radio and had to have it based on that one song and never regretted it. I own all their stuff and have seen them live four times. They're at their best live. This CD is definitely their best. The title song has great rhythm and riffs. Each CD is fantastic but "Sister Sweetly" has a special place in my collection. It's among the 5 CD's I would need if stranded on a desert island. Can't wait for their next CD. Hurry up, guys!

5.0 out of 5 stars Power &grace. Crunch &folk. Blues and beyond:, March 29, 1999

This is the "breakthrough" album of BHTM, and what a breakthrough it is. Starting with Broken Hearted Savior, the power and heartbreak is expressed in the words and music that hit me hard. The texture of the songs and the moods strike me unlike any cd I've heard up to that point. The highlight is definitely their "hit" Bittersweet. They refused to shoot a video for it, even though it would've pushed the song to greater commercial success, thus preserving it's integrity and beauty. Other highlights include: It's Alright, Tomorrow Never Comes, and the last 2 tracks, Cirle and Brother John, demonstrating their crunch and folk ability. I consider BHTM akin to a kept secret, which eventually will get out. In the meantime, I will enjoy their music. If you like mindless, party music, you probably won't like this cd. But if you like gut wrenching music with matching lyrics, check this album out.
