Brilliant!
author: Tabitha Ormiston-Smith
When I first put this record into the player and heard the first few seconds I got that excited feeling that you get when you realise you've discovered something totally new that you are going to love. It's a very special sound and totally unique. Nothing derivative here at all. The stunning songs are set off by a really fine singer. Ms Levy's precise diction gives the lyrics a crispness that is both appealing and rare in this type of music. I discover something new every time I listen to this record.

still in my car!

HOMESICK FROM THE GRAVE is one of my favorite CDs and it stays in my car with me always! I listen to it frequently; it's in my MP3 player and on my computer. I love the song "Girl in a Cube" and have dedicated it to my kitty Pamuk on many occasions. Larry and Cat have something very special: a stripped down sound that is mystical, rich, full and conveys a magic that will carry the listener on a journey from beginning to end. You'll want to keep the CD with you always!

Mature Acoustic Emo-Folk

Despite the album title, Homesick From the Grave, Mr. Levy has composed an album which, if at times lyrically dolorous, is not overly melancholy. This can be attributed to wonderfully the crisp, light, and airy vocals of Mrs. Levy. Together, this husband and wife duo have created a beautiful, subtle, and poetic gem of an album. Filled with rich harmonies, layered guitars, Greek and Jungian imagery, and spoken word, this album is highly recommended.

Fell in love. Have just ordered another batch of 3.

I haven't loved an album this much since Snake Farm's compilation of old songs/with twist. But unlike Snake Farm's work, all the songs on HOMESICK FROM THE GRAVE are originals-- in all senses of the word. Every time I listen I have a new favorite; today it's the last track, all vocal and finger-snaps. A brilliant album, lyrically and musically. Perhaps the fact that I just ordered my sixth copy--it's a great gift for somebody special-- testifies best to how crazy about this album I am. (BTW: I read the liner notes half a dozen times to try to get my mind around the fact that there are only two performers. It sounds like multitudes. Rich.)
