| | Saw Doctors Play It Again Sham! CD Saw Doctors Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
This is a delightful collection of 20 singles and B-sides, 17 of which never found their way onto studio albums. Several of these selections have become concert favorites like "I'd Love to Kiss the Bangles" and "Michael D. Rocking in the Dail." Many of the remaining tracks possess the youthful exuberance found on earlier albums like If This Is Rock'n'Roll, I Want My Old Job Back and All the Way From Tuam presumably since they were written during that early period. The Saw Doctors playfully mix early rock & roll with punk, country, folk and even Motown and, as is their trademark, compliment the music with themes of youthful lust, small town living, growing up Catholic and other recurrent identifiers. Lead vocalist Davey Carton compiled this collection so the integrity of the band and what they stand for is preserved. This album is packed full of gems, some familiar to loyal fans, others more obscure like the powerful "Sound Sham." For those who haven't had the experience of seeing this band live or haven't heard the numerous Saw Doctors four-song single releases Play it Again Sham! is indeed the missing link. ~ Dave Sleger
The Saw Doctors, Ireland's most underrated rock outfit, have put out a near-perfect collection of their best songs from 1990 through 2000. Unlike the grand themes of U2 or the introspection of Sinead O'Connor, the Saw Doctors are a pub band that wrestles with the notion of snagging a little piece of heaven here on earth - & paying for it in hell later. The music is an inviting tapestry that weaves hints of traditional Celtic with roots rock on songs that have a troubadour's storytelling quality. These guys know words & music, & they're not afraid to use either. There isn't a bad tune among the 20 tracks. Shamtown. 2002.

THE MUSIC Jeff Bjorck's second CD, PURE PIANO PANORAMAS begins where his debut project PURE PIANO PORTRAITS ends. Many pieces on Jeff Bjorck's first CD reflect his love for the Appalachian woods and Catskill Mountains of his youth. Now, having lived the last decade in Southern California, he has turned to the desert and chaparral for inspiration. From the Joshua Trees of the Mojave Desert (portrayed on the CD cover) to towering thunderclouds hovering above parched earth, Jeff's new songs take the listener on a panoramic tour. These new pieces were all recorded in 2000. Most were composed over the previous four years, with two exceptions: Day Without A Sun was created in 1977, the year that Jeff lost his only uncle to cancer; Your Love Has Made Me Fly is a 1986 tribute to Sharon, Jeff's wife (and best friend) of ten years. Their first joint effort at songwriting, Sculptor of the Sky, reflects their shared amazement with the beauty of clouds. Several other pieces also convey personal themes. Jeff honors his grandmother, who almost lived to see her hundredth birthday and a new millennium, with Remembering Gramma. An avid hang glider pilot, Jeff's love of flight is manifested in Soaring Mesa Cliffs, which beckons the listener to rise high above the mundane into clear, stark, silent skies. As he does on his first CD, here Jeff surrounds his own compositions with original arrangements of two traditional hymns. He explains, Holy, Holy, Holy has long been a favorite, and it served as Sharon's and my wedding processional, so it is particularly special. As for O, The Deep, Deep Love of Jesus, I am continually overwhelmed by God's love, and this hymn expresses my sentiments well." Jeff's first CD has provided reassuring focus for mothers ...

Lloyd sings for the pure enjoyment of singing. He writes songs that are honest, sad, funny, serious and down right strange. A lot of the time, you get all this in one song, like "Hello Mabel" and for sure you get it "The Brotherhood" and my favorite; "Joe's Church Bar & Grill." You have to listen to his songs, they may not always end exactly the way you think they will. You can check out his Bio on his CD American Country Love Songs and on Hard Liquor and Soft Women here on CDBaby.com...These songs are fun and serious and EASY TO LEARN, so sit back and just enjoy, Singing should tell stories, bring back memories and enhance the present and influence the future. Then there are times when singins is just plain old fun and good for the lungs.HONKY TONK GOSPEL is Gospel (Sort of) CD. The songs here tell it like it really is.*** THE BROTHERHOOD - An honsest song about an honest man and his "trying" to get it right.*** BAR ROOM PREACHER-Strong Song about The Good Lord pops up in the least expected places.*** THE BALLAD OF THE BAR ROOM PREACHER- Tons of email about hearing Bar Room Preacher - people wanted to know just who the bar room preacher was or is. This story tells his story.*** SONG OF PRAISE- Traditional country styled song of praise-inspired by Lloyd Haymon's dad..."Every morning he would get up and shout to the top of his lungs, "Your will Lord, you will, not mine!" Then the day would begin.***TURNED MY BACK ON JESUS- Another classic ballad by Lloyd that just goes to show you that although we are mostly "Fickle" the good Lord is not.***GETTING YOUNGER EVERY DAY-Upbeat ballad about taking on a whole new slant about becoming a "Seasoned Citizen."***SCARY THINGS- This powerful song allows you to watch the news and not "worry" about it.***JESUS ...
