The Hedonists?
author: Steve Crespo
I first saw Annie and the Hedonists at a festival in upper NY a couple of years ago. Looking at the band line up for the day, and seeing the name "The Hedonists" I looked to my wife with an "Oh, brother!" kind-of-face. I wasn't expecting much.
As it turned out, Annie and the Hedonists were the only band we did see, and my wife, my parents, our friends, and myself were so taken with them that we each bought both CDs available at the time- "Side of the Road" and "Moonglow on the Midway." Since then, speaking for my house alone, those two CDs have been among the more regularly played discs. We love 'em.
I have been waiting for Annie's third for some time, and I must say that "Good Old Wagon" was worth the wait.
It is rare that you hear a band play from the heart. I mean, really from the heart. These guys do it time and time again. The band is tight, and this woman's voice could melt the coldest heart. She truly has a gift. (And it appears that it has been passed along to the next generation on this CD.)
This is great stuff, and as a music lover, I really hold this band up as one of my best discoveries.
Well done, Hedonists.

This is the best! Great harmonies and top notch musicianship. Evocative to the end. It doesn't get any better than this!

Another winner from Annie & the Hedonists. The photos and video were a nice extra too. We now have all 3 of their CDs and can't decide which is our favorite. There's still room for another one though, since many of the songs we've heard them sing in person aren't on any of the three. Keep on singin'!
