A WISHING WELL REVISITED - Finally, the band's classic and highly acclaimed album A WISHING WELL is back!!! This limited run contains a different cover and includes 7 never-before released bonus tracks. An alternate version of Do You Have God?, a drastically sparse and intense early mix of Meditation and a no-drums offering of I'm Not A Joker are three of the exciting extras offered here. A can't-miss!!


BAND BIO:
Who are these Rooks? Do they sing? Have they ever written a power pop classic? Do they paint with sound? Do they believe that music is the universal bond? Do they drink beer? Are they happy in this ever-changing world? Do they dig Miles Davis, Led Zeppelin, baseball and Nick Drake? Do they hate the straight-jacketed, close-mindedly thinking, cookie-cutter, creative stomping, shoot-themselves-in-the-foot, waiting for the other shoe to drop, take what you can and dash policies of the music industry? Do they love their fans? Are they from New York City? Should you check them out? The answers are yes, yes, and a shout from the rooftops yes!!! Now how much more positive can you get than that?

    This album is simply great. I don't know how something this great slipped by me for all this time. I guess a lot of people haven't heard it but I'm spreading the news. I was knocked over by this CD.

  • Love it!!!!!!

    Heard about the Rooks here and there and then a friend bought me Wishing Well for my birthday. I'm totally blown away at how beautiful this Cd is. I love Micheal Mazzarella's voice and the songs are wonderful. Vows, India and Meditation are great. They have an awesome website too.

  • Buy this record, it changed my life!
    author: Patrick Golding

    Lush, heartbreaking, uplifting, vibrant. What do you need to know? A clear progression in Michael Mazzarella's songwriting, arranging and recording. Fascinating alternate versions and works in progress from the bonus tracks. It is a work of rare beauty. Enjoy.

  • A must have
    author: Don Reade

    The Rooks showed their love for The Beatles on their early work but after you listen to A Wishing Well you understand how far the band has come while carving out a sound all their own. This album is beautiful.

  • What a treat
    author: Phil Cheswick

    Just stumbled on this slice of perfection recently. What a great surprise. I bought the first Rooks album many years ago and then moved to Alaska for my job which took me out of the picture for awhile. Now back in Philly, picked this up and was floored by how strong this CD is. The Rooks are really a great band.

  • Such a great record!

    From beginning to end, a brilliant CD. Stand out tracks "Meditation" and "Trip" just floor me. The extras are just icing on the cake. Why does the world not know about this?

  • Awesome album with tons of cool extras!
    author: Randy

    I think Michael Mazzarella is brilliant. Him and the Rooks nail their genre of beatle-esque pop, and are very fun to listen to, especially on this album. The extra tracks of different outtakes are pretty interesting, especially the 'Do You Have God' backing vocal track. I recommend this to any pop-loving person, or beatles fan, or any fan of good, rockin music.
