Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Apart from his regular gig, Dispatch singer/bassist Pete Francis comes off as a musical schizophrenic. Here he skips from the psychedelic prattle of Pink Floyd to the whimsy of Thelonious Monk to a full-out soul that would do Teddy Pendergrass proud, finally coming to some resolution with Van Morrison-like folk-rock. But Francis, who goes by the name Peter Francis Heimbold in his regular party-hearty band gig--has a way with words. Most of his lyrics are impressionist blots of repeating images, fragile characters, and Freudian symbols that fail to make a coherent narrative statement. Still, the musicianship is first rate. Jazz bassist Marty Ballou and percussionist Marty Richards cast a mighty rhythmic spell, providing inventive textures around Francis's sparse guitar work. --Jaan Uhelszki

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't let this album be Unheard..., December 9, 2003
By John NY (ny, ny United States) - See all my reviews
Here's a cd that provides great mood for those early morning road trips, dinner during sunset and cocktails with friends. I first saw Pete perform live as an opener for Better Than Ezra. I bought the cd on a whim and have been thankful ever since.

ONE TRAIN is a wonderful addition to any mix tape made for someone you have a crush on...

STONES has a HOT HOT HOT bassline, that defines the entire mood of the song. Try NOT moving your head to this one.

BENEATH THE FIRE-
One of the most beautiful songs ever written for 9/11 exists on this album, and its sad that not many people have ever heard of it thus far. It explains the story of a Firefighter's Dad searching through the rumble of ground zero, searching for his boy's body, so that he may be properly laid to rest.
This album is worth the purchase for this song alone.

Pete's voice is definately equal to the dosage of a mood relaxor. I highly recommend this prescription for cool...

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, August 7, 2003
A great album. It's worth what you pay, definately. I think it's better than both State Radio and Braddigan (the other Dispatch members' bands). You can certainly tell that Pete Francis spent a lot of time and thought on these songs. My favorites are One Train, and Burning the River, but I don't really like Coal Miner, definately the most "out there" song on the CD. Although this is an amazing album, I find it's less meaningful to me than So They Say was.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pete's the man!, January 27, 2004
I've been a Dispatch fan and Pete fan for a number of years and have become very involved within his career. After a successful run with Dispatch Pete has been able to maintain his roots and continue to shine. The energy and sound of the album are uniquely that of Pete Francis. The album's success is a blessing and he truly deserves all the recognition it's recieving. In all honesty, Pete is my favorite live performer and his small intimate shows are priceless. He is a genuinely great guy just out to have fun and put a smile on your face. Check out the album and check him out on tour and if you like him I advise you to look into other similar artists no matter how non-mainstream they are, as well as the solo efforts of his two other Dispatch band members.
Peace
