| | Comforters Transplants CD Comforters Discography of CDs
"Transplants is so beautiful that it is almost unreal...this is the cd you dream of for years."-ROOTSTIME (Belgium)"Pia and Jason Robbins should be applauded for producing a collection of simple albeit deep songs that touch the soul."--Kevin Mathews - Pop Culture Press"The Comforters' songs evoke the spare, emotive style of early century Americana, loaded with pathos and a little bit of fear and loathing... Pia's voice seals the deal -- it's haunting and enchanting."-- Michelle Theriault Salem Statesman Journal"Transplants, is saturated with seemingly weightless songs. Pia's delicate vocals float over a loose acoustic guitar and keyboard melody, recalling Rose Melberg or Maria Taylor but with a more ethereal quality."- Amanda Burhop Eugene Weekly"The Comforters ...make a lilting and joyful noise, full of melody and quietly seductive. Plenty of potential for a gentle sway around the kitchen to this one, folks."- lonesomemusicThe Comforters - Pia and Jason Robbins - live in Eugene, Oregon with their dog, Walrus. The husband/wife duo write warm and inviting songs that evoke the rich story telling and pop sensibilities of artists like Aimee Mann and The Cowboy Junkies. The Comforters draw from a wellspring of influences, but cite the three B's as their foundation: Beatles, Bergman, Bacharach. Jason explains, 'The Beatles, I don't think I really need to say anything else, do I? With Bergman, it's the pace, the shadows, the internal life, the close up as the tip of the iceberg. Bacharach, well, we feel quite free to use major 7th chords whenever we darn well feel like it, thank you very much!But really, it comes down to the fact that we write songs that we want to hear, about things that interest us, songs that may well evolve into cinematic-style productions, but can hold their own when played with just a piano or guitar."Pia sums up The Comforters's songwriting atmosphere: 'A piano, an acoustic guitar, and lots of trees. ' 'Yeah, there's definitely something about the pacific northwest,' adds Jason, 'that really lends itself to creativity !it's a very liberating setting. 'The Comforters recorded Transplants at their own Big Timbre Studio in Eugene. Jason has engineered and produced records by artists such as Dwight Yoakam, Pete Anderson, Michelle Shocked, Curt Kirkwood. 'We worked hard on crafting a record that has a unified sound', says Jason, 'even if we wander around stylistically. With Pia - you know, she has such a beautiful voice that communicates so much, that it's just painting around that with sounds and textures. ' The irony is that, while on the surface there is an air of tranquility and endless calm to the album, the songs reveal an unsettling dead-calm that is the backdrop to affairs, depression, heartbreak, alienation and yes, some negative things as well. The Comforters have quickly found ears tuned to the bittersweet in life. Their songs are receiving airplay on several radio programs across the U.S and in Europe.

Purchase Transplants CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Glee Cast Glee: The Music, Vol. 2 CD (2009) Original Soundtrack
Transplants album
 $9.58  
The second Glee soundtrack throws a bone to the show's supporting characters, with Jenna Ushkowitz (the faux-stuttering Tina) singing her first solo and Amber Riley (Mercedes) receiving a larger chunk of airtime. Lea Michele and Matthew Morrison continue to steal the show, though; Morrison delivers one of the album's most inventive songs with a mash-up of "Don't Stand So Close to Me" and "Young Girl," while Michele sings the absolute pants off of everything the producers give her. The album sometimes strays away from choral arrangements and focuses on individual actors, but it's hard not to sing along with a song like "Jump," where the cast replaces Eddie Van Halen's keyboard riff with bright choral harmonies. ~ Andrew Leahey
The second Glee soundtrack feels a bit rushed, arriving no less than four weeks after Vol. 1's release and featuring songs from half as many episodes. Returning ...

Transplants CD music
$10.39  
Broadway musical JERSEY BOYS brings to the stage the story of 1960s singing sensations Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, recounting their rise from working-class kids to pop-music superstars.

Interspersed between the songs are snippets of dialogue from the play, and the actors playing the Four Seasons nail the group's famous vocal harmonies impressively.

| | Michael Buble Call Me Irresponsible CD (2007)
Transplants songs
$10.09  
Michael Buble ranks among the best of the contemporary crooners working in a classic pop-vocal style, and his 2007 album, CALL ME IRRESPONSIBLE, further refines his suave, smooth style. With its finger-snapping big band arrangements, the album has its share of homage to Frank and Dino, both obvious cornerstones of Buble's music. But this isn't merely a retro exercise; the tunes, the production, and the overall feel are decidedly contemporary.
Stylistically adventurous versions of songs by Eric Clapton, Leonard Cohen, and Willie Nelson keep things lively, while "Everything," a Buble original, is one of the ...
