5.0 out of 5 stars
Romans, Ottomans, Cats,
My experience with the Cat Empire is mostly taken up with their magnificent live shows. When these guys throw down it's magnetic; they're one of those bands who, as much as you may like their recorded stuff, are a totally different proposition onstage. There are a lot of bands like that; many of them never equal their live greatness on record.
"Two Shoes" ensures that The Cat Empire can be exlcuded from the latter group. It is funky, it is sweet, it is top-to-bottom great and it is flat-out them, just the cats bein' the Cats. It's tempting to write 10,000 words of ponderouos, strangling praise, but why be pretentious when the album ain't? Let me just hip you to some key facts. Of particular note is that this album was recorded in the same studio as the Buena Vista Social Club album. You can hear it in the brass and the general sense of festivity. It was a great choice. Of further interest is that these songs are fanf***ingtastic. The title track in particular is a great example of what they do so well in their live shows; they groove you, then they rock you, then let you go, then you're napping, then they wake you up, then they bring you back, now you're rocking harder than you were in the first place. All in one song. Every once in a while you have to take The Risk On The Band Of Whom You've Never Heard. Might as well be them.

Try try try to find their appearance on David Letterman in mid Feb doing "Sly." What a performance. Irresistible. Better than the CD version.

Absolutely Amazing,
By
This review is from: Two Shoes (Audio CD)
This is one of my favorite albums. Cat Empire is a fantastic band with a powerful sound, and this album is no exception. They've got a blend of reggae, funk, latin, and jazz that is totally addictive - in a good way.
