5 out of 5 stars Genius... pure genius.......2003-06-17

Every tune on the CD is brilliant. This is a classic piece of Canadian music history... one of the best albums to come out of this country.... ever. I would place this up there with classic Canadian albums like Rush's Moving Pictures. The first track "All the Things I Wasn't" is beautiful beyond belief. This band truly had talent... get this album, it's perfect. Not an exaggeration.

5 out of 5 stars A classic piece of Canadiana.......2002-09-22

This is one of the definitive Canadian albums of the 80s. How can I define the sound? a cross between the Byrds and the Jayhawks, I guess. very acoustic, very melodic, and often sad. I don't think too many people would argue that this is the band's best work. It's the one that put them on the map anyway. Tracks 1, 2, and 3 are all stand-outs but really the whole album is pretty strong.

5 out of 5 stars Best damn break-up album...ever.......2000-06-12

Every song on this album is absolutely riviting. The first time I heard it I was a sophmore in college and I thought that it was a pretty good follow up to Treehouse, but a few weeks later came a disasterous break up with a long time boyfriend. After listening to this "cd" for about a week straight I was certain that someone had let all of the secrets out of my own soul and then put it to music.

4 out of 5 stars An impressive comeback.......2003-06-17

I'm usually sceptical of comeback albums... in fact, I didn't even listen to this for months after I bought it. But after I got a bit tired of the old Grapes material, I gave this a try... and after a couple of spins, I was thoroughly impressed. Kane and Hooper are incredible songwriters (especially Kane). It's almost as if they never broke up... 'Field Trip' just seems like a logical follow-up to 'These Days'. It's a classic Grapes album with a mixture of harder rock (Black Eye) and softer acoustic (Kane's brilliant 'But Oh Well'). Hooper also shows off his songwriting prowess with infectious tunes like 'Sell the Goat' and 'Hitchhiker'. The bonus CD has some interesting material as well... the highlight being Kane's acoustic rendition of 'Misunderstanding'... reminiscent of the material on his solo albums (both of which are highly recommended). This album gets 4 stars only because 5 stars is reserved for the two perfect Grapes albums, 'Treehouse' and 'Now & Again'. Kane and Hooper... Canada's Lennon and McCartney?

3 out of 5 stars So nice they did it twice!.......2002-07-18

Look very carefully at the track listings for this CD. Notice that the first twelve titles are replicated as the second twelve titles? Think this is a typing error? THINK AGAIN!

While disk two is intended to be a 6-song EP (at least that's what the cover says), it's actually a replica of disk one. Bummer! What's going on here? Hard to complain, or even return. It is, after all, exactly what's advertized.

Apart from my feelings about being swindled, the 12 songs (on either disk) are hardly on par with earlier material. Hence, a double whammy. Save your money, and listen to their old stuff.

5 out of 5 stars great album........2001-12-02

this really a great album. i was happy to hear tom & kevin reformed the grapes but, was sad that vince & chris weren't coming back. the more i listen the album the more i like. and some major news: apparently according the grapes fan site their record company went bankrupt and they've either broken up again or are just laying low for awhile.

5 out of 5 stars A pop gem.......2001-07-24

This is one of the finest albums I have heard in recent years. The songwriting duties are shared by Kevin Kane and Tom Hooper and they are equally masterful at their craft. Hooper formed Ginger after Grapes broke up originally and this is the Grapes' comeback album and it doesn't disappoint.

"Black Eye" speeds out of the traps like a thunderbolt with thunderous guitar work and a Sloan-like sound.Hooper then weighs in with "Like a fool" a song that is equally good but not as loud.Kane then contributes "18" which is an absolute corker. The driving guitar and stunning chorus is quite breathtaking and for my money this is the best moment on the album. The quality control continues with "Sell the Goat" complete with its fabulous steel guitar and country-tinged sound. On "Rivers Flow" Kane sounds eerily like Paul McCartney and the song continues with some fine harmonies between Hooper and Kane."Dropping the Y" is pure Elliot Smith ,and that is not a bad thing ! The rest of the album carries on with the same quality control. All in all a magnificent effort which deserves to be a worldwide hit,this album has just the right mix of softness, electric guitar,acoustic guitar and harmony. The only thing I feel let down by is that the cd is supposed to come with a 5 song e.p. and it turns out that this is an exact clone of CD1 !!!! And I was so looking forward to hear Grapes' cover the excellent "Porpoise Song" (theme music to the film "Head").Ah well even with discovering this unfortunate error, I would still recommend this CD as the quality is excellent throughout ps. fans of this album should try and get their hands on Ginger's "Far Out" ,another magnificent set featuring Hooper.

5 out of 5 stars Very Well Done.......2005-07-05

This group has such a unique energy. It's a little like REM, but really it's own sound. All the songs on the CD are very well produced, and I'm surprised this group hasn't had the commercial success it deserves.

2 out of 5 stars What the Hell?.......2004-03-21

When I first listened to "Now and Again," I thought it was one of the best albums I've heard in a long time. Each song was worth listening to with a great hook. The band also have a great sound. So, I was excited to get "Treehouse," expecting at least some of the greatness of "now and Again." I was disappointed. Gone are the hooks, the sound, or anything like "Now and Again." There a few good songs but overall it was just disappointing. If you want to get an album by Grapes of Wrath, pick up "Now and Again" not "Treehouse."

5 out of 5 stars Pure magic..........2003-06-17

Very few albums are close to perfect... but this is one of them. It's astonishing how much this band grew between their debut album and 'Treehouse'. As mentioned before, this is jangle-pop at its finest combined with gorgeous vocal harmonies. The three singles 'O Lucky Man', 'Backward Town' and especially 'Peace of Mind' are fine examples of this... but what pushes this album over the edge is the quality of the rest of the album... 'At Your Soul' is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard anywhere from any band. In my opinion, 'Treehouse' and 'Now & Again' are essential to any music collection. Check them out and get to know one of the most gifted bands ever to come out of Canada.

4 out of 5 stars Beautiful Pop.......2001-04-25

I was lucky enough to see these guys in Athens,Georgia in late 1987. They opened for a band that was far less talented and played for a total of six people. The show was fantastic and the memory is still clear today. The catchy acoustic guitar and beautiful harmonies on this album are brilliant. It's a bit like R.E.M in their pop mode and a lot like the Gin Blossoms sound of their first album (although much better). It's a shame that these guys didn't tour more in the southern U.S. or get more radio play. They could have saved the world from the pop garbage that was out in the late 80's and early 90's.

    Album Description

    Canadian pressing of the 1986 original release, is the acts first LP which shows a band unsure whether to follow R.E.M.'s folky lead or post-punk's dreamy abstraction. Fortunately, the jangly guitars and harmonies win out for a pleasing, though unspectacular, debut. Highlights include the single 'Misunderstanding', as well as 'Love Comes Around' and 'A Dream (About You)'. EMI. 2005.

    5 out of 5 stars The classic Grapes.......2002-09-20

    This is their classic and best. I've owned it on vinyl for about 15 years, and now have it on CD. Misunderstanding and Lay Out The Trap are from the 12" single, so you get good value, and they are the best songs too!!!!

    Great Canadian Vancouver guitar pop/rock, and not overly whiney or grungey. Their later stuff is worth a listen, but downhill from SBOG.

    expat Canuck writing, so 1 grain of salt is in order? :-)

    This album, actually called 'September Bowl of Green', is a nice collection of various cuts from what was an up-and-coming band. Hard-edged in spots, it also showed signs of softness, especially in their instrumentals. Set the standard for their other albums.

      Product Description

      A timeless warrior of words and music returns to the dirt and teardrops of Southern California’s Inland Empire—where John Steinbeck set the scene for his American Classic, “Grapes of Wrath”—to record this grits-and-gravy testament of cemetery skies and redneck angels. Charlatan Records brings you the first T. Stevens collection, appropriately titled "The Last American Cowboy." On this disc, Tex shares his reflections about life in the saddle, remembers the good times and the bad, honors close friends both human and animal, and recounts his reaction to the devastating California wildfires of 2003 and other recent events, all punctuated by his unique take on social commentary. So circle the wagons, stoke the campfire, fire up a stogie, settle back against an old comfortable tree and listen to the way roots music should sound. Y'all come back now, ya hear?

      4 out of 5 stars Explanation!.......2003-06-19

      Hello...I am John, a member of The Grapes of Wrath, and I'm here to clear up the confusion: Our band from Phoenix, Arizona predated Kevin's band by almost 30 years, and is not the Canadian band of the same name. The American Grapes have been active (and still are) in the studio and with live shows since 1965. The Canadian Grapes WERE indeed a GREAT band, but we were first :) (Note to Kevin: Best of luck on your new projects!)

      Thank you to all who purchased our CD and enjoyed it. To all others, we apologize for the confusion :)

      Regards,

      Don't be fooled into thinking this was the incredible 80's band out of Canada. IT IS NOT. It is a sixties band out of Phoenix. AND IT SUCKS. (Mostly because I was expecting the 80's band based on the reviews). Shame on Amazon for letting reviews stay up that leads one to believe it was them. Unless you like poorly recorded late sixties music (it sounds like a bad LP) Don't bother. It would probably cost me more to return it at this point; wish I hadn't wasted the money!

      2 out of 5 stars What a disappointment........2002-01-28

      What happened to the Grapes of Wrath from the 80s? Now that was a great band, but the band reflected on this album is a huge disappointment. They've lost sight of the soul and sounds they once had and traded it in for some Beatles-wanna-be music. Too bad. But I'll keep listening to their earlier music anyway.

      5 out of 5 stars GREAT GROUP!.......2000-08-08

      This is a great band from KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA. Excellent album! Recommended!

      5 out of 5 stars Where are they now?.......1999-12-20

      This group displays qualities of harmony, poetry and originality that should have been recognized long ago. What's the story? Are any of them still playing? Why haven't we heard more from them. The development of their style over the years would have been intriguing listening, maybe it is. Can this be explored?

        4 out of 5 stars Nice little jewel from1991.......2005-02-01

        Memories are what good recordings conjure up for us. Where were you when you first heard this song or what were you doing when it came out? For me when I first heard the single "You May Be Right" off this album by Canadians Grapes of Wrath, I thought what a great tune.

        I still remember working in a newspaper darkroom in a small town in Espanola, Ont. listening to the local AM station and hearing more and more of this album over the radio.

        I always found this album to have a nostaligic feel to it on three levels: I) The band I think was capturing the sound of a Beatles lp (my favourite band), II) it takes me back to that time when I was a young, aspiring, newspaper reporter and my first time away from home, III) for Canadians it contains the sounds of summer at the cottage [A good example being "A Fishing Tale"].

        Amazingly I find that this album, years and years later (it was released in 1991), still sounds fresh. I particularly enjoy the lead guitar of Kevin Kane on this album.

        This album contains a certain sentimentality and whistfulness, that I've enjoyed on may other artists' recordings, but the band doesn't really sound like any particular band per se (well except the Beatles, maybe). Many of these songs are in the vein of recollection and memory and longing maybe even for home. Titles like "Away", "I Can't Find My Home", "I'll Be There", and "I Am Here", all recall a location or place (in most cases "home") that the singer wants back to, and even the "love songs" conjure up the idea of "loss" or "getting things right" and then all will be well.

        Unfortunately, I believe the band broke up shortly thereafter and never attained the quality that was evident on this recording.
