The One-Eyed Show's second studio album showcases their ability to blend roots rock, jam, funk, country, jazz, and blues into one tidy package, featuring an edge that will bump your trunk and your head.
Jamie Lee from Hittin' the Note Magazine says:
The One-Eyed Show’s roots were sown in rural Ohio, a place that offered much time for study of the multi-faceted history of American music. Using a ripe combination of rock, funk and country, bassist Scott Axe, vocalist Darren Caywood, guitarists Brett Gilliland and Steve Snethkamp, drummer Mike Wilson and percussionist Forrest Moul have taken the music experience one step further than mere influences. They have deconstructed and reformed their own music with an array of elements that evolve like a playlist on cutting edge radio: fresh, funky and flexible in form.

Sort of at a loss is an acute representation of the breadth of the One-Eyed Show

Sort of at a loss, the band’s sophomore offering and the follow-up to 2002’s Unsure of Direction, is an acute representation of the breadth of the One-Eyed Show’s talent. Over 12 tracks, they move from bent-kneed swing(“Big Cookie”) to psychedelic dub(“Lemonade Stand”), and while the band is capable of moving easily between styles, a thread of consistency streams from Caywood’s brawny vocal strength. If Sort of at a Loss is any indication, the One-Eyed Show will keep the stage curtains open and the crowd entertained for a long time.

Polished, but Raw--The One-Eyed Show and Sort of at a Loss require your attentio
author: Indie Find Band Confidential
There are a number of artists whose names pop up as regional performers in some of the "usual" clubs and music festivals throughout the Midwest. I've seen the name, The One-Eyed Show, quite a few times. To be honest, the band's name is why I bought this album--and I'm glad that I did. The rock and roll on this album is raw...the musicianship is evident. The vocals span "choir boy purity" with crystal-clear harmonies, to rough-and-tumble, whiskey-and-marlboros growls. The songwriting is very solid, with a few of the tracks being "must haves" for your collection. If you haven't heard of The One-Eyed Show yet, do yourself a favor and buy this album. Get on board on the ground floor, because this band is moving.
