5.0 out of 5 stars I avoid 5 star reviews, but..., November 17, 1999
By Phil Sandifer (Newtown, CT USA) - See all my reviews
I cannot deny that this CD is one of the best of the decade. Ani's musical skills lend a solid backbeat to many of the stories, creating an interesting mix of contemporary style and old-time stories and concepts. Phillips, of course, is possibly one of the finest storytellers of our century, and is a joy to listen to alone. DiFranco has picked his best told stories, and put brilliant music to them, creating what can only be described as an incredible CD. One caveat, though, if you are primarily an Ani fan, you may want to steer clear of this one. She appears on two tracks, lending her voice only as an instrument, and not to carry any of the tracks. Her role in this CD was purely to produce and mix, not to compose her usual folk songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Is more amazing, more beautiful with each listen, November 30, 2002
This album is creative genious, period. It's not a "folk" album, it's a beautiful blending of *very* interesting story telling with musical experimentation that fits more perfectly with each listen. If Utah had been born during Twain's time, he would have been considered a national treasure, but since "we" treasure the types of Limbaugh, Drudge, and other purveyors of uncivilized discourse, what Utah has to say and the way he says it is so foreign in this day and age.

The last cut is simply amazing: "I was in a nightclub in Chicago ....."

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Story Telling, May 14, 2002
By Jamie Savino (Milton, DE United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Whe nI first got this album, I wasn't sure if I would like it. I had been warned that it wasn't "normal" Ani music--and it isn't, at all. It IS, however, an album of beautiful, interesting stories about our past, present and future. I love to bring it with me on long car rides, especially when other people are with me. It keeps everyone's minds occupied and provides for good conversation afterward.

At the risk of being reviled, Utah carries this CD. His humor, reflections, and ability to convey complex truths with his simple phrasealogy is phenomenal. QuarryWorX

You are all right. This isn't a musical cd. And it shouldn't be reviewed as one. What it is is a testimonial, an allegory, a howling, a manifesto... a poem. Read more
