Great CD!,

This review is from: Wonderwheel (Audio CD)
I'll admit up front that I bought this CD because I figure any band who took their name from a Marty Robbins tune couldn't be all bad. I was not disappointed.The musical style of Utah Carol is a bit tough to pin down (think equal parts Simon & Garfunkel and Poi Dog Pondering, with a little Johnny Cash thrown in for fun). Nonetheless, the sound is fun, playful, and honest. The arrangements are a bit simple, but there is enough talent here to carry the album. The CD comes off as unpretentious and charming, which I suspect is the intent. The lyrics are straight up, yet well-crafted. There is nothing here that makes me scream "I wish I wrote that" but neither are there any embarrassments. There are enough interesting turns of phrase and arrangements to convince me that the band has plenty more to offer as they grow. Still, this is a heck of a debut. This album will get plenty of play in my house, and this band will be one to watch.

A delight from track to track,
By Simon Gillett (s.gillett@tesco.net) (Blandford, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wonderwheel (Audio CD)
This cd was reviewed in Mojo magazine here in the UK and on the strength of this I tracked the cd down through Amazon. It arrived yesterday and hasn't been off the player yet!I'm a fan of Wilco, the Jayhawks, Gillian Welch, Emmylou Harris, Whiskeytown and so on but Utah Carol defy comparison beacuse Wonder Wheel is so wonderfully varied and eccentric. I still am surprised at every new track and I love the little mini-instrumentals and the quirky organ sound that pops up every now and again. The whole cd is a pleasure and probably deserves 5-stars but we English don't like to overpraise! Buy it!

Utah Carol's Wonderwheel is the creme of the crop,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wonderwheel (Audio CD)
Utah Carol's debut album Wonderwheel is the creme of the crop, the good stuff. The album has interesting instrumental stuff, some of it countryish, all of it very top-notch. Utah Carol creates simple, well-executed melodies, engaging performances...it's a real nice sound. Take a chance...with 20 cuts on this album, it's worth the money.
