Album Description
This album serves as a great commentary on ekoostik hookah's current direction. While many acts in the "jamband" genre have lent themselves fully to sustaining a danceable groove, hookah remains a musical workshop of talented songsmiths that ply their craft with great skill and care. This is not to suggest that the album won't have you dancing - it will. The rock-country "Dragonfly" and bluegrass flavored "Deal With It" are undeniable in their appeal. But as many of their contemporaries seem to have abandoned substance in songwriting, hookah has maintained an intense focus on perfecting the individual pieces of music. The yield is obvious and plentiful on Ohio Grown.Customer Reviews:
Definition of ekoostik.......2003-10-10
That aside, they play their instruments extremely well. They write songs perfectly suited for the instruments they choose to play. Also, when they decide to record themselves in the confines of a studio they play and sing with the same energy and passion that obviously comes through every live performance. That is why this band is able to capture their "live sound" more so than most 'jam'bands.
I believe this album, specifically, is an initial culmination of years of hard work and focused energy. Each member of this band shines on this album. Each of their distinct personalities has a chance to reach through the studio recording to the ears and heart of the listener.
I'm sure it's obvious to you that I love this band. Yes, it is true. I've seen them perform live right around 65 times. And guess what... I'm not from Ohio. I live in Michigan, a neighboring state to be sure, and in my opinion ekoostik Hookah's 2nd home.
If you enjoy well thought out, energetic, strongly confident music, then I can assure you that you will enjoy this recording.
Oh yeah, after you hear it you won't be able to resist checking them out when they come to your neck of the woods, so beware.

Let it Grow!.......2002-12-24
Patient guitar work and rich percussion that will appeal to a wide audience compliment the range of musical styles, from inspiring "Dragonfly" to rolling "Raging River." Other tunes, namely the ballads "Ohio Grown" and "Pass the Cider, Pass the Rum," will mist the eyes of the legions of expatriate Buckeyes pining for the good life in the hills of the Appalachian Plateau. Finally, unexpected treasures such as songwriter Michael Hurley's "Sweet Lucy" and drummer Eric Lanese's "Dancing Outlaw" should delight even the most road-hardened Hookies.
The music - and all you need is music - is presented within a clever album concept and extraordinary artwork (including one of six covers reflecting the tastes of the six members of the band). Ekoostik Hookah continues to grow musically, a function of their professionalism and vision. Ohio Grown is sure to please new listeners and old hands alike, an antidote to dry and unsatisfying drudgery of the corporate music scene.
