5.0 out of 5 stars Great New Album For RRE, June 11, 2008
By Microborg (Evanston, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This roots/Americana band has done it again. If you're familiar with their previous albums or their live shows, this will be something new and exciting for you. Starting with the first track, "Been Down this Road," the entire album has a wonderful homey feel to it. It's as if the members of the band are comfortable with each other, as they should be after so many years. From the track "Right in Tune":
"I got no worries, I got no doubts
'Cause I know we got it all worked out
You know your part and I know mine
And we're right in tune, me and you."
As on their older albums, each song has a strong feel of optimism. Master songwriter Todd Sheaffer has written some of his best songs to date for this album. With the addition of RRE's classic ability to masterfully orchestrate their songs (the driving sax on "Hard Livin'", the fabulously understated vocal harmony on "Been Down This Road", the floating lyricism of the mandolin on "Lonecroft Ramble"), the songs gain unparalleled life and emotion.
That said, some songs are better than others. "All Alone", while a great song, is sung with an undeniable channeling of Jerry Garcia. Some people might enjoy hearing a new Jerry tune, but it seems to betray RRE's ability to go in their own direction.
Still, when considering the album as a whole, this is the band's best work yet. It's sure to satisfy anyone that enjoys acoustic music or wants to hear some great musicianship.

5.0 out of 5 stars Goosebumps all the way through..., July 18, 2008
By Muzik 4 Life (United States) - See all my reviews
All I can say about this album and this band is that they give me goosebumps every single time I hear something new from them.

In my opinion, Railroad Earth is quite simply the most underappreciated band in music today. They are creating music, both live and on album, that rivals anything I've heard from any of my favorite decades of music.

As a person who grew up listening to Neil Young, Bob Dylan, The Band and The Rolling Stones in my earliest years, and then U2, REM, Pearl Jam and many more in my twenties, I think Railroad Earth's music lives comfortably within this level of musical artistry.

Amen Corner is just another example of what Railroad Earth has to offer to the music world. I feel blessed to have this band in my life!

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm in love all over again..., June 19, 2008
I'll have to agree with Microborg...they have definitely done it again!! I can't stop listening, and while I've only had it a few days - it has gone to work, in the car, and back home & I'm still listenin' and lovin' it. I have a sudden urge to drop everything and follow the band through their tour of the U.S. But alas, I will have to wait till they come closer to home in September. If you like their other albums and/or have seen them live, this will get you all hyped up to see them again. Buy it!!You won't be disappointed. =)
