Bastard Child

No Depression
On their current release, the band blends Docter's lyrics with country-punk and jangly pop as they skillfully navigate the fine line between brutal and honest. Their blending of male and female vocals creates uncomfortable choruses reminiscent of the Mekons' classic "Edge of the World," while Rachel Ferro's violin, Geroge Goehl's mandolin, and Chuck Uchida's guitar soften the edges as they intertwine leads and hooks in a manner as twisted and intriguing as early R.E.M.

Jesse'sBastard huffs it, this album is worth getting.......2002-07-31

Despite what Jesse'sBastard has to say, Babaloo is one of the funnest bands I have ever heard. Their live shows are awesome, and this cd is great to shake it to. If you like to get down and dance, and this album doesn't give you the urge to, then you should get in touch with Jesse'sBastard and you can tug it to Barry Manilow or the last Michael Jackson album.

truly a joyful thing!.......2001-05-24

A real gift to the planet. I've been to several Babaloo shows and it's true - everyone dances. It's nothing like techno dancing, everyone's happy, laughing, and jumpingaround. Zero hesitation, zero pretention. There's something alive and delightful in their music. These guys make music for the shear joy of it and it really shows. If you like George Clinton, funk or sky in general this is the ablum for you. If you're stuck in a rut, sick of your job, about to go postal, buy this album and get on a bus to Boston.

These guys couldn't write a hook to save their lives.......2000-09-01

If you're shopping for irritating, redundant music, THROW OUT ALL OTHERS! This is the one for you. These guys learn one line, beat it into the ground, stand it up, and beat it some more. This is sophomoric, at best. You could train a monkey to play these bass lines, and sometimes it sounds like they did. This record makes my skin crawl.

This is smart, sophisticated music........1999-07-06

I happened upon this group quite by accident in a bar in New York. They appeared to be a fun band with a great groove so I bought their Hardcore Juju CD. This album is GREAT!! I listen to it all the time. Although the music at first seems fun and simple, further listening reveals layers of rhythm and musical harmony that betray an exceptional knowledge of musical composition. This is a band with a future.

The experience of Babaloo in a great sounding package!!.......1999-07-01

Hardcore Juju is Babaloo's second CD, and I loved the first, Punk Mambo!, but this truly captures the energy, talent and excitement that IS Babaloo. The money and time spent on this CD is evident, everytime I listen to it (which is frequent!) I hear a new sound or voice I didn't catch before. Each member of the band is showcased in some way, from Unca B, the charming silly French lead singer, to Smith Crankshaft the AWESOME lone girl in the band who plays guitar and sings lead on 2 songs here. My favorite song changes daily, but all are great and have something original in them. I love "Ichiban," written by B and Smith - a gorgeous song, with a strong story and sweet vocals from both. "Cherry Yo-yo" is fun and different, and "Pepe" makes me and my friends laugh every time. If everyone could check Babaloo out live, they would be instant fans, but Hardcore Juju is great for those who can't. It captures the talent, positivity and frentic energy that IS Babaloo. I am lucky enough to see them regularly and to have gotten to know them over the past two years, they are good people along with being great musicians. But my LOVE of the music comes from an unbiased place in me. A place that loves to dance and knows something good when I stumble across it. Hardcore Juju is better than most!

New Wave Western Swing with smart lyrics, great arrangements.......2001-12-20

A very nice combination of Western Swing with a new wave-ish attitude, catchy choruses and smart, witty lyrics. Even a song like Burn In Hell is tounge in cheek amusing, I love the line that goes, "Why don't you drag your sorry ass back to your wife". The back up vocal arrangements are sparkeling, and make me laugh sometimes, the whole thing is pretty upbeat, even when they try to do some honky tonk weepers.

Smart, tuneful roots rock.......2000-01-17

Forget the ugly cover and the offputting title, this is the one that you want. Smart and witty lyrics combine with engaging melodies and great production. Makes you hope for a new release from this talented band.

Product Description

Link Wray grinds tires for a new highway. The watchword for this CD is "intensity." Most tracks are melodic and sport unrelenting power. It's almost more than you can stand in one sitting. Solid is an understatement, with very strong musicianship and near insanely thick sound. Brazilian surf is light years from trad.
