Editorial Reviews
Spin
Bloedow seems joined to his material at the hip. You can't imagine these songs - the sad/funny love song "In the Clinch," the familial dyfunction- themed "Do I Have to Take You Outside?"--being performed by anyone but him. With a vocal style that's both sure and frail, Bloedow builds mini-shrines to emotional glitches, as if he's trying to create coping mechanisms for his own emotions on the spot. By employing some of the brightest of the New York City downtown improv crowd--Medeski Martin & Wood, Dave Tronzo--Bloedow honors the time-honored practice of ending jazz's devices to the services of pop.

5 out of 5 stars like ghostriding a bicycle into a nursing home........2005-02-28

old people sort of smell weird sometimes but if you love your grandmother like i do than you know she will be a better cook then you could ever be. man that was a good cookie i ate for breakfast. oh yeah also while i ate it i was listening to this awesome cd and crying. except for the crying part. hey don't make fun of me okay.

5 out of 5 stars personal groove.......2001-07-05

Oren Bloedow presents a serious look at his life through soulful melodies reminicent of Jeff Buckley. The always funky jazz trio of Medeski Martin and Wood, in one of their rarest forms, provide a landscape for this personal journey. Although this album has its moments lost in depression and down tempo reflection, its trueness to the blues and jazz spirit flourishes.

5 out of 5 stars who is this guy?.......1998-12-18
