5 out of 5 stars great first album.......2006-03-20

I have been a Sister Hazel fan ever since All for You become popular in the late 90's. As such, my first album of theirs was Somewhere More Familiar. I have bought every album after that, but never bothered to get the self-titled album. After I bought it I was glad that I did. It is a very different sound from the other 4 albums, which is what I really like about the band in general. This is a fun album that is great driving music with lots of upbeat songs and a great cover of a Sam Cooke song. Definately worth buying!

5 out of 5 stars Great Demo Tape.......2003-12-09

First off, this is a demo tape that Sister Hazel put together to get signed to a record company. It sound like a demo as the sound is tinny and a dog barks during one of the songs.

However this is still an excellent CD. It is the source for the hit single "All For You" and is where you will find the equally great songs "One Nation" and "Feel It."

When you listen to this CD, it becomes clear to you why Sister Hazel got signed to a record contract.

If you like their other work, you should definiely get this CD

5 out of 5 stars Catchy..........2003-06-06

The reason I bought this CD was because at Universal Studios Florida for the Mardi Gras Concert Series 2002, Sister Hazel was putting on a free concert. I had never heard any of the bands songs before, but I knew many people who said good things about them. I thought I might enjoy the concert more if I knew some of their songs before, so I bought the cd. I ended up not being able to go to the concert, but at least I got the cd now.

This isn't one of my favorite cds, but when I try to find something wrong with it, I can't really think of anything. The songs are really catchy and you get them stuck in your head whenever you listen to the cd. Sometimes the cd starts getting a little too blues-like for my tastes, but then that goes away.

I probably won't buy another CD from the band because they sound too much like other bands like Hootie and the Blowfish and Counting Crows, but if you do like any of these bands with that type of sound, go buy the CD!

5 out of 5 stars Just plain ol' good music!.......2001-09-19

It's not to say that Sister Hazel's self-titled album isn't unlike anything you've heard before. The catchy tunes, simple riffs, and open vocals will remind you of any number of bands: Hootie and the Blowfish, Counting Crows, Third Eye Blind. That doesn't mean, though, that "Sister Hazel" isn't a great album. The music is simple and the lyrics are sometimes downright cheesey ("One Nation"). But nonetheless, Sister Hazel delivers a precision product that pleases with the intensity, compassion and soulfullness in a way that will likely conjur an image of their namesake.

Whether I like "Somewhere More Familiar" or "Fortress" less or more than the self-titled "Sister Hazel" all depends on the day that you ask me. "Sister Hazel" is undoubtedly more bluesey than the others, especially prominent in "Will Not Follow" and "Bring It On Home" which also draws on some obvious gospel influences. You'll find yourself bee-boppin' to the upbeats of "Feel It" and "Sometimes". The toned down harmonious version of "All for You" while heartfelt reminds me a little too much of Extreme's "More Than Words" to be my favorite version, but still an 'ok' rendition.

All in all, I still find myself continually impressed with the five member band from Gainesville Florida. They're well worth the listen.
