Album Notes

"...Woosley at his best combines the roots rock of Wilco and the lo-fi hooks of Guided By Voices to create a tasty stew."
CHAD PAINTER
THE OTHER PAPER

"...a fascinating portrait of an artist--without being pretentious or stupid...folks with a penchant for the slightly off-kilter ought to search this one out."
JON WORLEY
AIDING & ABETTING

Woosley band's front man and namesake brings you his first solo effort, packed full of off-kilter lyrics and abstract ramblings.

"Drifting Like a Seawreck"(featured on MAGNET MAGAZINE's New Music sampler #61), is the only song yet released from Woosley's mock-opera QUIET BOY; a musical comedy about a young Amish boy coming of age in the late 80s in Northeastern Ohio.

REVIEWS

Woosley's experiment
author: Alan Witherspoon
                            
As a long-time fan of Sean Woosley, this CD is a grand departure from the roots-rock I've grown accustomed to over the last few albums and even further from the Hangboxers days. Using only a 4-track and one weekend, this album tends to be quite uneven. There are a few standout tracks, however: Tables of Grapes, Manatee and Shipwreck are quite good, with the last track sounding reminiscent of Euro pop. Not to jump to comparisons, but fans of early Beck will enjoy this album quite a bit. As for me, it should tide me over until the next true Woosley Band album.
