Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars The World Seen from the Edge of the Green Cliffs.......2001-03-04

This is wonderful music. Lopes down smooth roads to oceansides, over hot pavement through American deserts and stops to pick rocks from the soles of shoes with a popsicle stick. This is truly the America that we as Americans think we still are. Richard Davies captures it perfectly. Wonderful.

2 out of 5 stars Indie folk-pop.......2000-07-25

Unfortunately, compared to Crowd, Barbarians sounds like a group of songs recorded quickly, before their possibilities were fully explored and exploited. The songwriting is still there, but the extra care and refinement that made Crowd so rewarding has been replaced by a more one-dimensional sound: changing electric guitars, fewer counter melodies, harmonies that teeter, and simpler, more staid rock arrangements.

4 out of 5 stars Crafty Pop in an Uncle Sam Hat.......2000-07-02

Another fine collection of Richard Davies songs. This album continues his progression toward a more traditional pop sound and song structure. However, there is still much nuance and charm, but nothing like the artsy Cardinal album or his first solo album "There's Never Been a Crowd Like This".

One thing I don't understand is the cover art and album title. The cover depicts an Uncle Sam hat with the album title below it: "Barbarians". It seems strange that a young man would leave his native Australia to come live in a country he felt to be barbaric. Perhaps he had something else in mind(?). Whatever...bottom line is that this album is certainly no disappointment, and a worthy addition to your Davies collection.
