caught Ralfe Band live on tour - highly recommended - album is a polished version of their high-spirited multi-instrumental mentalism. think captain beefheart's nephew lost in rolling green english landscapes being followed by cavorting minstrels who need a wash. waltz instrumentals stand out, as do songs like the one about horses' teeth. lovely stuff, put it on again.

After a couple of listens to this album I was hooked. It would probably be a crooked wooden old hook from the 18th century resting up against a German caberat club. Thinking about it the hook could equally be found in the deserted town of a Morricone scored spagetti western.
It is a charming album with the right balance of being challenging and refreshing. Various musical comparisons such as early Beck, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits.....don't really do it full justice. A unique musical journey, lets hope they is more to come from Ralfe Band.

This is one of the best Albums I've heard in a long time. Its bought my faith back in new and original music. I love the lyrics and the cow bell! If your into something a bit different I suggest you get this album. Its hard to put in to a genre...maybe acid/folk/blues/Indie?? Regardless its new and interesting. I love it. I'm looking forward to the next album!
