1 out of 5 stars B.O.R.E.- Vol. 1.......2005-10-21

[...]One of the singers sounds like a ten year old girl singing Karaoke and the subject matter reads like a Leave it to Beaver episode. After hearing Vintage Schwinn I realized that the most exciting thing that has happened to these guys is getting stuck in a snow drift in Grayling Mi. If you like droll white bread music, this CD is for you.

5 out of 5 stars Funny Hats.......2002-04-28

The rise of the internet and listening booths in music stores has made us all wiser consumers, if not more conservative in our purchases of CDs. I used to love to browse a music store and buy a CD completely "blind" based on alluring cover art or some other unknown impulse that made me plunk down [money] for a musical group I've never heard in my life. It's kind of like compulsive gambling...you pick a lot of losers, but every now and then, there's a pay-off that keeps you coming back. Such was the case with "H.O.M.E.S. Vol. I" by the Original Brothers and Sisters of Love.

I was on a buying expedition to Chicago recently and came across this C.D. in one of those ramshackle collector's stores in the Loop. There was just enough money left in my budget for one more CD, when I came across this CD. The sepia tone cover photo resembled on of those post-Civil War pictures and had a picture of a group of musicians in costume. Some were cross-dressed like pioneer women, others wore masks and long robes like members of a witch's coven. All of them wore funny hats. They called themselves "The Original Brothers and Sisters of Love" (audacious) and the name of the CD was "H.O.M.E.S. Vol. 1" (cryptic). I figured even if the music was awful, I could show people the cover for a few yuks, then resell it on the internet.

As it turns out, they are a much revered Michigan band and the Original Brothers and Sisters of Love are sublime masters of quirky, baroque, experimental rock. A kind of XTC meets Captain Beefheart in Cleveland. This is about as close to high art as pop music will ever get. Lush arrangements, sublime vocal harmonies, well crafted songs, intelligent lyrics and sardonic humor...So I'm back to doing more "blind" purchases. Most of the groups will be nowhere as good as The Original Brothers and Sisters of Love, but I'll have some great cover photos of guys in funny hats.

5 out of 5 stars The second-best thing about Michigan..........2001-11-01

Like The Original Brothers and Sisters of Love, my wife is from Michigan. I'm kind of partial to her, so I can only say that this wonderful album is the SECOND-best thing that's ever come from Michigan. Also like my wife, this album is full of mystery and is sure to become irrevocably tangled with my destiny...
