Product Description

CD Description

Nearly 20 years into his tenure as a prominent Pacific Northwest punk-turned-beloved folk-leaning songwriter, Jurado isstill perfecting his mixture of barely restrained angst andcarefully strategized tranquility. CAUGHT IN THE TREES continues to evoke the ghosts of his peers, Kurt Cobain and Elliott Smith, but is neither as hopeless as the former nor as vulnerable as the latter. The guitars get louder on standout tracks like "Caskets", but the sweetness on display during "Gillian Was A Horse" and the engaging sadness laid bare on "Last Rights" (both given an even more sympathetic air by Jenny Conrad's co-vocals) border on stunning.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magic from the master, 1 Oct 2008
By Pat (Nottingham, England) - See all my reviews


Following Jurado's illustrious career, I am astonished that he still remains relatively unknown to many. If new to Jurado, `Caught in the Trees' is an excellent starting point. It an album of exquisite songs that on repeated plays get better and better. This is a man on top form, and for me, CITT is arguably his best (perhaps surpassing the wonderful `Where shall you take me' in depth and emotion - that's saying something).

Where to start? `Gillian is a Horse' is a pleasant, upbeat song - in a world where Jurado plays local radio, this would be the single. `Trials', is a hushed acoustic number with mellow harmony and xylophone. Then come the big three - `Caskets', with refrain `You must remove the skin and burn it off for fuel' is impressive, with edgy electric guitar. `Coats of Ice' has beating electric, yearning harmonies, and biting lyrics. Next, `Go first', one of Jurado's best songs, has acoustic and crunching electric guitar, elevating harmonies from Jenna Conrad providing subtle support. After an instrumental interlude comes the lovely, picked `Last Rights' and crystalline fragility of `Everything Trying', a heart-tearing love song, recalling Chris Mills at his most intimate. `Sheets', starts at a gentle pace before exploding into sonic guitar. `Paper Kite' in a similar vein, gentle picked guitar with weeping cello, soars and sinks as Jurado cries - superb! Then, `Best Dress' which really should finish the album - a seething dragon of a song. Picture the beat of a Scottish Army heading to war, it pulses with life - Jurado and Conrad chanting `Hey now, put your best dress on' to pumping, crunching electric guitar and drums...brilliant.

Jurado doesn't do bad albums, otherwise this would be a sizzling return to form. Want an early Christmas present? This is it - this is pure genius.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jurado's best release yet., 15 April 2009
Jurado has written some excellent songs, but with his previous albums I tend to like a couple of songs and feel indifferent to the rest. I was pleasantly surprised to find 13 strong tracks with no fillers, the songs "sheets" and "Gillian was a horse" are my favourates.I would recommend this CD to anyone who appreciates a good singer/songwriter.

5.0 out of 5 stars A real grower, 27 Feb 2009
By Rob (Aylesbury, UK) - See all my reviews
A fantastic album that gets better on repeated listens. Some of the harmonies with Jenna Conrad are exquisite. Stand-out tracks for me are "Best Dress" (great harmonies and thumping beat), "Caskets" (would have been ideal first track on the album for me) and "Coats of Ice".
