Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

The secret to this quiet, beautiful record is, oddly enough, its least representative moment--"Our Boy," performed as an instrumental by pianist Ted Borowiecki and written by Hewerdine and guitarist Neill MacColl. The melody is simple and evocative (like something from Bartók's "Songs for Children"), and when it's finished you're tempted to turn the stereo off for a moment to savor the images it conjures up. It's a moment that spills over into the surrounding songs, giving them an added depth and poignancy. "Bell, Book and Candle" (a song Eddi Reader covers on her 1999 release Angels & Electricity) is a sweetly haunting ode, while Hewerdine embellishes "Eve," a quirky vignette about a girl who "lives by the flower market," with some John Lennon-style vocals. --Percy Keegan

4.0 out of 5 stars Consistently engaging, May 19, 2000

By	Christopher J. Saam (Kansas City, MO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Boo writes some of the best lilting, Brit-Folk-Pop around. This release features his latest batch of songs in a stripped down version compared to previous cds. Many of the songs feature great hooks that will keep you humming weeks later. His melodies appear simple intially but continue to surprise you as you realize how complex they really are. While his lyrics don't always paint the complete picture, that can be a good thing. By not spelling everything out to the listener you can interpret as you like. Overall this cd plays like a cool breeze blowing through the screened porch as the sun sets in the evening while you are sipping on a cold drink. Great stuff as are all of his recordings - If you can find "Eureka" by the Boo fronted band The Bible, snatch it up.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the best songwriters around, April 22, 2000

By	David C Barber (Warwickshire, England) - See all my reviews

I just came across the only review for this album giving it one star. A travesty. Boo Hewerdine has consistently written great songs for years - and Thanksgiving has lots of those. Particular favourites are "Lazy Heart" and "Footsteps Fall". Great backing vocals from Martha Wainwright, daughter of Loudon, and all produced by John Wood, the man behind Nick Drake's "Pink Moon", currently getting exposure in the Amazon.Com charts because of the VW Cabrio ad.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Boo album contain some of his finest moments!, April 15, 2004

By A Customer

I love this CD, play it all the time and never get tired of hearing it. One of the few CDs I always bring while traveling. 'Murder In The Dark', my personal favorite Boo song; Footsteps Fall, Lazy Heart, Birds Are Leaving, Eve, Bell, Book and Candle', Please Don't Ask Me To Dance....These songs are to treasure! BB&C does seem to get used in films (My First Mister) and UK TV (Emmerdale) quite often but the rest of the album is truly excellent as well. Produced by John Wood (Squeeze, Elvis Costello, Nick Drake) this record is in my top 5 all-time. Period. If you can find the Japanese version, it has two exclusive tracks, 'The King Is Dead' and 'New Pretender' which despite the extra cost are well worth it.
