| | Tift Merritt Another Country CD Tift Merritt Discography of CDs
The title of Tift Merritt's third album refers to her move from Tennessee to Paris following the release of 2004's TAMBOURINE. Ironically, settling in another country has allowed Merritt to write some of the most purely country- and folk-oriented ... Full Descriptionsongs of her career, with less of the rock and 1960s R&B influence of her earlier albums. Full of simple, spacious arrangements and heavy on minor-key ballads, ANOTHER COUNTRY is reflective without sounding downcast, with songs such as the wistful title track and the delicate opener, "Something To Me," providing the template for most of the album. Another highlight is the quietly stunning closer, "Mlle. Tendresses," a cocktail lounge ballad sung in French that recalls the commingling of country, pop, and cabaret on k.d. lang's INGENUE.Spin (p.106) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[Her] third album unveils deceptively sharp takes of hearts in distress, implying fierce emotions just under the surface."
Uncut (p.100) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Merritt's pure voice is mostly accompanied by gentle piano..."
Dirty Linen (p.86) - "There's longing in the melodies and joy as well, connection and disconnection..."
No Depression (p.66) - "[T]he conversational phrasing, intimacy of the material, and spare, airy arrangements suggest an artist with nothing to hide and nothing to prove."
Q (Magazine) (p.136) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "'[I]t's on the title track, a finely crafted meditation on love's bewildering ways, where she really finds her own voice, setting her apart from the pack."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.59) - "[S]he competently mixes elements of folk, rock, and soul -- embracing her inner Joni Mitchell on sparse lullabies..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.111) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Here her wonderful voice, smooth and warm with throaty twang and unforced power, has free rein to do what it does best on 11 fine new songs..."
Harp (magazine) (p.100) - "Merritt's songwriting, allusive and glancing, is stronger than ever, and her voice remains one of a kind, as raspy and reedy as it honeyed..."
Paste (magazine) (p.70) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[B]y far her most introspective to date....Merritt is a force to be reckoned with as a vocalist and songwriter in any genre she approaches." Hide Description Tift Merritt Another Country Songs Another Country Review

What do you get when you cross a radio DJ, a former Olympic athlete, a graphic designer, a photographer and guy whose greatest ambition is to sell fresh mackerel from the side of the road? No, it’s not an extremely fit and well turned-out fisherman type, instead you get a feast of intelligent, sometimes blistering electro-folk-rock, all wrapped up in the band Acrojunk. They have a new single “Generation X-Squared” on the way after Christmas. Heavily influenced by the cultural writings of Douglas Coupland and melodic tuneship of The Divine Comedy, “Generation X-Squared” has the wit, the heart and the hooks to succeed on the airwaves. If you can’t wait that long for some new Acrojunk goodness, then you’re in luck as they’ve made “Christmas Bungle” available as a free download. It’s got everything a proper Christmas tune should have — Santa Claus, blazing guitars and jingle bells (of course!)In 2006, Waterford’s Acrojunk grew out of the ashes of the critically lauded group “The Bearded Ladies” and with their fervent stage presence are quickly gaining a reputation as one of Ireland’s most promising acts. Even though they’ve only been together a year, they’ve already shared stages up and down the country with such luminaries as The Walls, Mark Geary, Fred, Jerry Fish & The Mudbug Club and Dae Kim. In February of 2007, Acrojunk released their debut EP “The Cold Old Playboy” to much applause and aplomb: “Their overall sound is quite unique. Acrojunk take the best, leave the rest and develop a likeable ...

Band Website cdbaby.com/surfingguitaristBand Members Myself on guitars, bass, synths, vocals & various drum machines. I do not use computers at all... Recorded digitally on 8-track Tone, rhythm & melody are some of the key elements that I strive for. Like soundtracks to movies--sometimes only a couple of notes are needed to evoke a feeling. That's my excuse anyway.....Played guitar for decades..........You can get my stuff on- cdbaby.com, iTunes, Soundclick, Rhapsody and dozens of indie Web music sites for a mere pittance-I need a little bread, man to pay for my strings.

Sounds like--An aural extravaganza of bizarre sounds rushing through my brain, the by-product of decades of listening (voluntarily and involuntarily) to a plethora of strange sounds, on this planet and several others. This is my 4th full length CD. It is all instrumental except for the last 2 tracks.Surfing Guitarist: General Info Band Website cdbaby.com/surfingguitarist Band Members Myself on guitars, bass, synths, vocals & various drum machines.

That's my excuse anyway.....Played guitar for decades...I played the horendous working men's club circuit in Liverpool and Manchester, England many moons ago. I was in bands that played only cover versions of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who etc, etc. If we tried to play anything of our own, we would get bottles, cigarettes, meat pies (no panties though), thrown at us. It was purgatory, all in the past. Now I just play my own tunes, The Good, The Bad, and the Friggin' Ugly! So there it is........You can get my stuff in on- ...
