New favorite.......2007-03-08

I can't remember now how I was introduced to The Waifs in the last few years, but I think I heard one of their songs on a local public radio station. I tried hard to find any Waifs albums, and finally found this one on Amazon. I LOVE it, and I am now a huge Waifs fan. I hope they come back to the US on tour soon.

Best of the best........2006-09-02

The best from one of the best rock/folk independents in the business. Great album.

Best new discovery yet.......2006-08-01

I was introduced to the Waifs through my Pandora account. I feel instantly in love with the music and bought all of their CDs now. If you like modern folk, acoustic music, and catchy tunes, this group is for you.

Lots of dusty folk songs about a hard life they love--Live.......2006-03-22

Disc 1. Buskers who have been together long enough to tighten up, play inside each others' moves, and develop a distinctive style all their own-dusty folk songs about a hard life they love. Subdudes come to mind. They document life on the road, in a beloved Australia, and their personal lives in up-close personal terms. Striking phrases of lyrics repeatedly grab my attention. They fans love them and they love entertaining them. Disc 1 is a revelation. [72:04]

Disc 2 offers more of the same. Maybe too much of a good thing all at once-the distinctive style gets a little claustrophobic. And yet, I want to hear more. Watch for last track. [68:15]

Great Compilation.......2006-02-11

This live album of the waif's is a great compilation and really shows their whole range of awesome blues n roots style of music. It also gives you a feel for them when there up on stage, real vibrant live recordings. Great album. Great Aussie band! Defiantly worth the money.....
