On its fifth full-length album, PUZZLES LIKE YOU, Mojave 3 extends its stay in the expansive, wide-screen territory of its predecessor, SPOON AND RAFTER. While the British group's alt-country leanings are still evident (see the sleepy, pastoral "Most Days"), singer-songwriter Neil Halstead and company are also intent on crafting lush indie-pop tunes, most notably the chiming single "Breaking the Ice," a gloriously upbeat song that highlights Halstead's gentle vocal harmonies with bassist Rachel Goswell. And, on "Big Star Baby," Mojave 3 masterfully melds a twangy pedal-steel lilt with a highly melodic sensibility, while toasting the the revered power-pop act Big Star. For fans that thought that the former Slowdivers had hit a peak with SPOON AND RAFTER, this assured and dynamic outing reveals that Mojave 3 is still ascending to new and greater heights.

Mojave 3: Neil Halstead (vocals, guitar); Alan Forrester (vocals, keyboards); Rachel Goswell (vocals, bass guitar); Ian McCutcheon (drums, percussion).

Spin (p.84) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[It bears] the mark of Big Star, the Memphis power-pop institution whose twangy jangle-rock lessons Halstead appears to have internalized."
CMJ (p.5) - "[T]he album consists mostly of melodic, country-tinged indie rock."
No Depression (p.111) - "Stuffed with bubblegum choruses, faster time signatures, and several of the most unapologetically catchy, pure pop tracks they've ever committed to tape."

Average Rating: (3 out of 5 stars) 3 stars

3 stars Bit disappointed.
Don't get me wrong - I like this disc. I guess that its just not the Mojave 3 I've known and loved. The mellow songs are still there but The Beatles influence is too strong for my liking. Honestly, if you don't know Mojave and are thinking of this disc - buy ALL the earlier ones instead. If you're a first timer, Out Of Tune is the one you want - blows this out of the water! Hate to be negative about such a wonderful band but they have released far better - mind you, their 'average' is far better than most of the dross out there. Buy, to complete your Mojave collection!

Muddy Waters Folk Singer CD  (1964) Remastered

CD $8.49  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Ultradiscs are mastered from the original master tapes using Mobile Fidelity's proprietary mastering technique, then plated with 24-karat gold and housed in a stress-resistant lift-lock jewel box. "You Can't Lose What You Ain't Never Had" and "The Same Thing" did not appear on the original version of FOLK SINGER. They were recorded at a separate session in April 1964, three months after FOLK SINGER was released. The title and cover photo of this 1963 recording were an attempt to cash in on the burgeoning American folk revival, but this is pure acoustic blues. Muddy began his career as a Robert Johnson-style solo acoustic performer, and the tunes on FOLK SINGER hark back to those days. He's accompanied sparsely by Willie Dixon, drummer ...

Mojave 3 Spoon And Rafter CD  (2003)

CD $15.15  4.5 stars Audio Samples Definitive Album
Who expected a big stylistic turnabout? Probably nobody. Is there a big stylistic turnabout? Of course not. Album number four, Spoon and Rafter, is merely another worthy addition to the discography of Mojave 3, whose Neil Halstead is steadily building a swelling stockpile of charming, bittersweet, easygoing songs that warrant almost all of the comparisons -- to icons of '60s British folk and American country-rock alike -- that have been drawn throughout the years. Not to beat a dead horse or anything, but bassist Rachel Goswell plays her most reduced role to date, chiming in, as always, with invaluable background vocals, yet she contributes no lead turns this time -- not even one. This one irritating issue does contradict the fact that the album feels more like a natural and collaborative effort than the others. Perhaps ...

This Montreal ensemble's fiery debut is marked by surging guitars, soulful strings, driving drums, brilliant bass lines, and the quavering vocals of married couple Win Butler and Regine Chassagne. The group's song structures careen through a vast territory of musical and personal history, with lyrics warm with memories of childhood neighborhoods and deceased loved ones, resulting in an alternating current of joy and sadness. Favorably compared to the Flaming ...

Every once in a while a band emerges from the crowded New York music scene that has all the elements to set them apart from their peers. MJ12 is just such a band. They combine sharp, edgy songwriting, passionate vocals and air-tight musicianship in their unique brand of acoustic/electric rock. The group has been turning heads of fans and industry alike since their first appearance on the scene in 1995. The group was co-founded earlier that year by principle songwriters Steve Messina and Dave Diamond. Their debut cd, the lush and atmospheric, "The Secret Life of Ester Stevens" sold over 3,000 copies in the first six months. Since then there has been no looking back for MJ12 as they have continued to amass an impressive and ever expanding list of accomplishments.Their second album, "Pink", was released in 1997 and focuses on the darker side of life ...
