Spurred in large part by Katharine McPhee's energetic renditions of KT Tunstall's infectious debut single "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" on the 2006 season of AMERICAN IDOL, the Scottish singer-songwriter became a somewhat unlikely mainstream pop star. Second album DRASTIC FANTASTIC refines the mix of alternative rock, Delta blues, and singer-songwriter folk that defined her debut album, EYE TO THE TELESCOPE, putting straight pop songs like "Hold On" and "I Don't Want You Now" comfortably next to jazzier tunes like "Someday Soon" and bluesy rockers like "White Bird." Tunstall has grown as both a lyricist and a melodicist in the span between her first and second album, and DRASTIC FANTASTIC also features a more assertive sound as evinced by the tongue-in-cheek glam-rock cover photo.

Drastic Fantastic CD

Note: DRASTIC FANTASTIC is also available in a two-disc deluxe edition with a bonus DVD.

Personnel: KT Tunstall (vocals, guitar, ukulele, cello, Fender Rhodes piano, glockenspiel); Paul Stacey (guitar); Jimmy Hogarth (acoustic guitar); John Petrocelli (Spanish guitar); Sam M. Lewis (dobro); David Angel, David Davidson (violin); Kristin Wilkinson (viola); John Catchings (cello); Kenny Dickenson (Fender Rhodes piano); Steve Osborne, Arnulf Lindner (bass guitar); Luke Bullen (drums); Willy Mason (background vocals).

Kt Tunstall

Rolling Stone (p.89) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t's high-gloss folk pop, confessional in form if not in content, crafted with intelligent attention to every detail."
Spin (p.112) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Her effortless melodies drive jaunty power pop and fingerpicked coffeehouse folk."
Q (p.90) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "'White Bird' has a slinky campfire-jazz ambience....Better yet is 'Beauty Of Uncertainty', which builds from sparsely plucked acoustic guitar and hushed whispers to a cascading climax..."
Uncut (p.109) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "On DRASTIC FANTASTIC, you'll find haunting world-folk, scratchy blues...[and] stark, moody etudes."

Customer Drastic Fantastic Reviews 




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

3 stars Have to admit not what I expected.
Hi, I was absolutely blown away from her first album and this album brought some dissapointment to me. When I listen to some of the songs I expect a radio announcer to say this is Mix 106.7. It just seems to main stream and it made me quiet sad. Kt Tunstall does have some of her self here though, like in "Beauty of Uncertainty" and "Someday Soon." "Hopeless" is another great one reminding me alot of "Black Horse and a Cherry Tree." But "I don't want you Now" and "Little Favours" are just like the mainstream junk we hear plastered all over the radio. Maybe I just had too high hopes for "Drastic Fantastic." But when you produce a CD like "Eye to the Telescope" and then put only half of your potential in the next one there is bound to be some dissapointment. Donna M.

K T Tunstall Eye To The Telescope CD  (2006)

Drastic Fantastic CD music
CD $11.49  4.4 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
A runaway success in the UK, EYE TO THE TELESCOPE, KT Tunstall's debut, finally hit the States in early 2006, a year after its initial release. On this assured 12-song set, the Scottish singer/songwriter mines a charmingly sensitive and intelligent vein of pop/rock that positions her somewhere in between Beth Orton and Sheryl Crow. The key to Tunstall's sound is her resonant and soulful voice, and the album's bold, but never over-the-top production only serves to further enhance her songs. Though the highlights of the disc include the jangly "Another Place to Fall," the eminently catchy "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree," and the shuffling "Suddenly I See," the entire record is surprisingly solid, easily ensuring a bright future for Tunstall.

Norah Jones Not Too Late CD  (2007) Digipak

Drastic Fantastic songs
CD $11.39  3.1 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
For a young and commercially successful artist, Norah Jones has admirably avoided playing it too safe. After scoring an unlikely sales sensation and multiple Grammy award winner with 2002's torchy COME AWAY WITH ME, Jones shifted gears slightly to accent that album's country and folk elements on the 1970s-styled follow-up, FEELS LIKE HOME. Following that, Jones deliberately played with expectations, first becoming a low-key sideman in a quirky alt-country band called the Little Willies, then playing the lead role in a new movie by Hong Kong arthouse director Wong Kar-Wai. Jones's third album, NOT TOO LATE, is perhaps not as extreme as any of those other moves away from her initial comfort zone, but it's a departure nonetheless. Recorded by Jones and longtime collaborator Lee Alexander in their home studio and featuring only self-penned material, NOT TOO LATE is far less polished ...

Amy Winehouse Back To Black CD  (2006)

Drastic Fantastic album
CD $12.49  4 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
BACK TO BLACK's production is an artful blend of sophisticated '60s R&B and 21st-century stylistic poaching, with "Tears Dry on Their Own" incorporating elements of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," and Winehouse sounding like Billie Holiday fronting a reggae band on the old-fashioned cheating song "Just Friends." Densely packed with musical history and often conjuring a dark, Portishead-esque atmosphere, BACK TO BLACK is a sumptuous-sounding collection freighted with blunt confessionals of a lush life. It doesn't take much listening to Amy Winehouse's 1960s pop period piece to realize that this is a tribute with an edge--nice girls ...

As a maturing artist, on the brink of becoming the next big name in producing Rap/ Hip Hop in the Bay Area, Scrilla C delivers his best album to date: "Get Rich or Keep Lying". With a resume of over 500 hit tracks produced to his name, this young producer is not afraid to push the limits and break barriers to get his name further recognized. Beingimmersed in the huge music industry for a little over four years, Scrilla C has finally been able to distance himself from the pack of other artists/producers, and he has teamed up with the biggest names in the Bay Area Hip Hop scene. These artists include: Dem Hoodstarz, San Quinn, and Turf Talk (nephew with the rap star E-40) all have become signature names across all Bay Area ...

In 1998, God handpicked a group of Holy Ghost filled young men who would one day change the face of the entire music industry. They were chosen to lead a reformation that would manifest the life of Jesus Christ. This group was called MSOG, the Manifested Sons of God. A name given to them based upon a Scripture in the Bible, Romans 8:19, that states that the world is waiting on the manifestation of the Sons of God. Never before in the history of Gospel rap has the need been greater for a group of young men to step up to the plate and fight the good fight against sin and its effects in the Church and in the world. Never before has the need been greater for the power of “That Life” to be manifested ...

Fairlanes Avenue is Eight Minutes to Twilight's first self-produced, self-recorded album. They are Josh Wright, Josh Howard, and Jason Janofsky, who joined the band shortly after Fairlanes Avenue was recorded. Reviewer Magazine said..."The horn that interpolates in and out of the music on “Fairlanes Avenue” adds such a beautiful melancholia to it. I was in a real lethargic, empty mood when I listened to this CD for the first time and it was the perfect soundtrack to my disposition at the moment, it didn’t grate or bore or annoy, it just was the perfect atmosphere and flowed smoothly through my brain.Eight Minutes to Twilight is the brainchild of two Joshes: Messrs. Wright & Howard, a couple of San Diegans who have ditched the typical power-pop vacuity that is associated with Southern California and instead have focused on introverted, emotive compositions that are ...
