An underated performer,

This review is from: Things Here Are Different (Audio CD)
I saw Jill Sobule in the US a few years ago and was taken with her music. It's rather different from the usual stuff. The lyrics are thoughtful and quirky and Sobule's voice, one heard, cannot be mistaken. An album to make you think.

Beautifully under produced,
By R. Rundle - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Things Here Are Different (Audio CD)
Although those who first heard Jill through "Jill Sobule" or "Happy Town" may not agree, this, her first set is in my opinion still the ultimate. Simple songs, with no over-played production and that pure insightful yet childlike voice. First came to my attention as sounding similat to Harriet Gavurin from the Sundays, this has been regularly on my CD player for several years. Buy and enjoy!

Best of the first 3,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Things Here Are Different (Audio CD)
I have not heard the most recent release, but I can tell you that her first album is the best of her first three albums. I thought her self titled album was good as well, but the hit on that one "kissed a girl" is really over-rated. Her true first "hit" was on this first album, it's called "Too Cool to Fall in Love" and is really a great, great song. If you like the first two albums, I'd say stay away from "Happy Town" because it's very different in tone than the first two.

...THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO FOR THEM IN EVIAN...,
By Eric Goldstein - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Things Here Are Different (Audio CD)
Most people know what the town of EVIAN in France is famous for: its mineral water. Most people don't know, however, what the town of Evian is infamous for: the pre-WW II conference of world nations where Nazi Germany tried to solve its 'Jewish problem' by exiling its Jews to any country which would take them in. Most countries would take none. And the countries that would 'generously agreed' to take ridiculous numbers of Jews, 2 here, 5 there, etc.And with this apathy, the Nazi's, rationally (as measured, at least, by their ultimate goal that is) decided that kicking the Jews out of Germany and Eastern Europe would not be a feasible option to get rid of them. Hence, the Nazis ultimately devised their Plan B--the 'final solution'. No country really wanted the Jews--as evidenced by the ill-fated Evian Conference--and thus the only practicable means to get rid of the Jews would be to kill them. The Wansee conference, implementing the 'final solution' and Auschwitz, etc. followed. The song EVIAN, rolling gently like a tranquil love song, stands as a poignant accusation: Underneath the song's gentle ballad, juxtaposed in silence behind the song's quiet words of love and tenderness, Jill lays the infamy of Evian as the gateway through which the apathy of the world laid the foundation and made the conditions upon which Hitler carried out his final solution to the 'Jewish problem', the murder of the 6 milllion. Behind these words Jill wrote, the reality of history still haunts us: |
