Blues Spoken Here is a musical grab-bag of styles, ranging from blues to rock to alt-country and beyond.
The Don't Quit Your Day Job Players perform diverse, danceable music, featuring catchy tunes, lush instrumentation, lotsa harmony, and witty lyrics.
The band's use of intricate harmonies and somewhat unconvention use of percussion and fiddle makes for an exciting, riveting performance that'll keep listeners tapping their toes.
From the opening notes of the title track, 'Blues Spoken Here,' to the closing chord of the last, 'Stop the Rising of the Sun,' the DQYDJPlayers deliver 55 minutes of non-stop listening pleasure and fun.
Anybody could say that, of course.
Here's what the professionals and other listeners are saying:
'David [Honigsberg] does most of the leads with a voice that hovers in a warm twilight halfway between Leon Redbone and Eric Clapton. Alexandra [Honigsberg], who could probably hold her own with any of the Sineads of this world, takes the reins for an eerie Celtic romp with 'Nightrider.' Another key player here is Steven L. Rosenhaus, whose singing voice is sharper and more incisive, and who writes the sort [of] gentle, catchy, pun-laden pop songs that were once the domain of Jimmy Buffett. Despite their novelty name, if these weekenders can keep coming up with material as good as this, they really should quit their day jobs.' -- Gregory Nicoll, Southeast Performer, November 1999
'A fantastic blend of rock, blues, country, and classical elements makes this one of my favorite albums ever. The band is reminiscent of some of the best classic rock groups, yet they have a new and exciting sound all their own. If you're a fan of classic rock, this album would be a great addition to your collection.' -- Beth, from New Jersey
'Check out 'Blind Man' - it rocks. The title cut is exuberant. 'How Can I Be Old (When Your Make Me Feel This Young)' revels in long-term lust and has a catchy hook. Alexandra Honigsberg adds a classy touch all around with her violin and viola playing, especially on 'You're Still Mine,' which is a sort of scary song -- don't be fooled by the classical guitar playing at the beginning. There doesn't seem to be a bad song on this CD, and the DQYDJPlayers have an ear for a clean, polished sound.' - (An anonymous review on Amazon.com)
