Worthy successor to The Elephant's Baby.......2004-11-16

The first time I heard Clare Fader and the Vaudevillains perform was in a smoky nightclub in Durham, NC. I was hooked instantly. After listening to The Elephant's Baby, their first album, more times than I can count, buying copies for my friends for their birthdays (or just for the heck of it), I was thrilled to see that a new album was on the way. Seventh and Trade was worth the wait. Clare and the Vaudes continue to invent music that evolves and finds new expression even as it retains the power to transport you to a seductive past. "Tain Ya Ta Bain Mei Ren Gui", sung in Cantonese, is worth the price of admission all by its lonesome. This music is destined for a wide audience, and Seventh and Trade is a perfect stop at which to hop on board.

A Cabaret Jazz Gem Not To Be Neglected.......2004-09-28

Clare Fader and the Vaudevillains are experts at crafting melodies that nestle themselves deeply into one's head. "The Good Time Girl" can be described as such. Fader's voice is at its best and is complimented by the whole toy piano/harmonium thing going on here. Clare tackles the Cantonese language quite well with the beautifully arranged "Tain Ya Bain Mei Ren Gui". "Seventh and Trade" can be quite dark at times, but manages to crack the door just enough to let some light in. If cutting a rug is your thing, then try "Down on the Quay" and "Betty Crocker's Bail". Fader's lyric writing is amazing. The lyrics on this cd could easily appear by themselves on the pages of books as poems or limericks. I can't say that for a lot of bands. So if you are not familiar with Clare Fader and the Vaudevillains then it's time to be introduced. However, if you are familiar with her work then you definitely want to pick this one up.

Seductive music with a beautifully dark streak .......2004-08-19

I love this CD. It's colorful, sexy, and thoroughly unique. Whenever I put it on, everyone always says "who is that?" It's hard to classify but that's part of its charm.

This isn't the usual cookie cutter stuff on the radio.......2004-05-01

This is terriffic for when you want to hear something different from the muzak performed by the Borg most people listen to. Some of the songs were less than wonderful, but the best are fun and original offbeat pop/jazz and well worth the price of the album. If you have the guts to experiment, not everything is going to work, but when it does, by god, it flies.

love it.......2003-12-15

Yes. More dark decadence from Clare Fader, this time with her awesome band! I've been lucky enough to see her live twice in New York City. Sultry, dark, mysterious -- but childlike and magical at the same time. I heard her first on MTV's the Real World ("Don't blame the wine! Blame the man who sleeps in my bed!"), then found her beautiful web site which led me here to buy her first CD The Elephant's Baby. I've been yearning for more ever sice. Thank you Clare Fader & The Vaudevillains!! Come back to NYC SOON!
