    5 out of 5 stars Slow Growing.......2007-01-14

    I would not listen to the 1 star review. If you don't like choppy music you don't like Mark Olson. His music is not catchy and does not immediately grab you. But if you give it time it has this effect that is unexplainable. I am not sure he is the better half of the Jayhawks, but I do know the Jayhawks were a more interesting band with Mark. This is an excellent record, but do not believe your going to be singing along after 1 spin. With early alternative country (Gram Parsons, The Byrds, etc) that was possible. This indulges patience and rewards those who are willing to dig beneath the catchiness of music.

    4 out of 5 stars Don't listen to the 1 star review!!!.......2004-06-14

    I love alt.country. I love the Byrds, Gram Parsons, UT, Wilco, Jayhawks, Gillian Welch etc. As a result, I sought out some Mark Olson stuff, since he had been, in my opinion, the better half of the Jayhawks. In my search I ran across this album. The descriptions noted that Pacific Coast Rambler was a jangly affair, recorded in a home studio, and was mostly acoustic. I just had a feeling about it, so I picked it up. All I can say is that the disk is amazing. From the cover art, to the pictures, to the last song the album has a very warm feel with sparse production, textured arrangements, beautiful vocals, strumming acoustics, and good lyrics. The biggest surprise was that Mark really has a Gram Parson's thing going on when he sings with his wife, Victoria Williams, who is all over this album.
    Friends, if you dig the acoustic, slightly twangy side of alt.country, pick this cd up and disregard the 1 star review below. This CD is a hidden masterpiece from the Joshua Tree forest, where the Dippers live and record. Highly recommended for Gillian Welch fans.
    Peace

    I've got a pretty good collection of laid-back, Gram Parson's influenced indie-country rock and no-depression type stuff and love most of it. I even like the Jayhawks. I haven't bought a cd I was sorry to buy in years, and I buy a couple of cds every week. Until I got this cd, I had a pretty stellar and luck-filled record. This is the first cd I've bought in a while that I've considered selling back or even throwing out. I find I am constantly whincing when I listen to this-- it's that embarassing. The lyrics are absolutely terrible and the sentiment is worse than what you'd find in a Hallmark card. I've given it many listens and tried to like it, but the doggerel verse and out-of-tune, cringe-worthy music makes that impossible. Without a doubt this is the worse cd I've bought in at least 2 years. What's odd is that I've only seen good reviews for it, which is partially why I bought it. I'm writing this so at least there is another view displayed. If at all possible, see if you can find a sample of the lyrics and music before you buy.

        Amazon.com essential recording

        Guitarist Bill Frisell has always had an ear for unusual tonal colors, and they're particularly strong on this 1984 recording, an early and enduring document of a major musician's work. There's a distinctive emphasis on brass and the lowest registers, with Kenny Wheeler on trumpet and flügelhorn, Bob Stewart on tuba, and Jerome Harris on electric bass; drummer Paul Motian completes the quintet. The thick, bass-heavy textures and contrasting layers of sound give the music an almost orchestral quality, while Frisell and Wheeler's shared love of pitch bending sometimes gives the eerie sense of funhouse mirrors, a dream of sonic and temporal distortion. "Rambler" is a mirthful echo of mariachi music, "Music I Heard" is propelled by unlikely allusions to march rhythms, and "Resistor" has some of Frisell's most animated playing on disc, his guitar synth creating a Pandora's box of unexpected sounds and twisting, mercurial lines. --Stuart Broomer

                Album Description

                "On "SHINING DOWN", piano player and singer-songwriter Mike Craver's subjects include a lovably coarse female music fan named "Diamond Lil," a young man who loses his legs and his soul in the Battle of Argonne Forest and a 1920s-era woman who realizes that her would-be fiance of 10 years is going to leave her an old maid.

                Some of the best tracks, including the title cut, come from Craver's 1998 Old West-themed musical "Bosh and Moonshine."

                In the creepily funny "When I Was a Little Wee Babe," gay undertaker Reverend Mould tells of how he went from performing mock funerals for his dolls to opening a business in which repairing bullet holes in real corpses costs a little extra.

                In "The Butterfield Stage," a Dodge City resident recounts meeting his mail order bride - a woman who turned out to look a little like a horse and whose teeth "were like stars - they came out at night."

                While many of Craver's songs sound sort of idiosyncratically contemporary, Craver is masterful at capturing the sound and feel of past eras. In addition to "The Butterfield Stage" (presented as a jaunty saloon ballad), "That Wicky Wacky Hula Hula Honka Honolulu Honey of Mine," from his musical "Radio Gals," is an original tongue-twisting number that perfectly re-creates the goofiness of the 1920s Hawaiian craze.

                Craver provides plenty of laughs, but his songs and his characters have too much heart to be dismissed lightly.

                "Shining Down" is a little more piecemeal and less dark than Craver's brilliant 1999 disc, "Wagoner's Lad." However, it's a joy and it seems better with every listen." --Wayne Bledsoe. KNOXVILLE NEWS AND SENTINEL

                5 out of 5 stars Mike Comes Through Again.......2006-06-06

                Mike Craver is one of the most versatile musicians and songwriters on the planet. He and Tommy Thompson were, in my opinion, the heart and soul of the Red Clay Ramblers before Mike's departure and Tommy's illness and untimely death.

                Mike is just as good on his own. His Wagoner's Lad, released in 1999, is, as far as I'm concerned, one of the all-time great CDs. Shining Down, as Wayne Bledsoe notes in his review, is not as unified a CD as Wagoner's Lad. I also agree with him that Wagoner's Lad had a couple of very painful, sad, and dark songs on it. Shining Down is, with the exception of a couple of songs ("Edwin" and "Argonne Wood"), just great fun - and, far more important, wonderful music. From a song set to the tune of "Sweet Betsy From Pike" to pieces written in light rock and early jazz styles, there's lots to enjoy here, and I enjoy it a little more every time that I listen.

                Mike Craver has outdone himself with "Shining Down." This collection has a myriad of musical tales - the kind of stories you can listen to over and over and find something new each time.

                The music is brilliant, the lyrics are genius - it's pure, good old fashioned, entertainment and songwriting up to par with Porter, Arlan, and all the greats!

                Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

                Mike Craver's Cd "Shining Down" is another collection of his genious mind and his talent of writing. "Diamond Lil" is one of my favorites. "Argon Wood" is a beautiful, but sad story of a young man going to war (WWI). Other great selections are, "I'm Yellow","Dear Mr. Gershwin." My all time favorite is "Watson Come Here!"-which is a song about the telephone inventor.

                You will agree that all these songs were meant to be recorded all on the same album. You will get a little folk,broadway,tin pan alley and a whole lot more!! A wonderful job Mike.
