Harp highlights the Hips Nightwatchman dates announced “There’s a slashing immediacy to the Mother Hips first release in six years, which everywhere reminds us to savor the moment for we will not pass this way again. Songwriters Greg Loiacono and Tim Bluhm make this focal point both contemplative and oddly joyous. Their past country-rock flavor is gone, replaced by a very winning marriage of Clash snarl and Raspberries grandeur. The prevailing taste is wonderfully bittersweet, and there’s few tighter, more ceaselessly inventive guitar-centric units out there. The Hips take classic moves and revive them with switched-on modernity. Their twin fascination with pure sonic tomfoolery and enduring song structure make them a worthy successor to Badfinger, Television and others who illuminate rock’s fundamental pleasures. Kiss The Crystal Flake is beautifully intense pop of the highest order and an early highlight of 2007.”

Got a great Willy Mason review? PASTE it here!
“Having been appointed by overeager journalists to be nothing less than the second coming of Johnny Cash, it’s easy to forgive Willy Mason for taking himself too seriously on his second album. Now 22 years old, and with three years of hard touring under his belt, the one-time Conor Oberst protege has lost little of his everyman appeal, and his second batch of songs are no less steeped in the sort of lived wisdom and slice-of-life poignancy that made his debut a humble triumph. With evilsounding violin licking around the reverb-drenched thuds of “Simple Town,” Mason captures small-town life with a perfectly conflicted mix of reverence and revulsion, one of many tracks where he’ll dress up his homespun arrangement in chilly strings, richly chiming mandolins and fluttering keyboards. Peopled by broken but hopeful characters, these are songs that ache with a quiet desperation that feels familiar after his debut, but Mason’s tendency to undersell his strengths as a performer are gone. Instead, these songs are more melodically direct, sonically dynamic and lyrically probing. Mason proves he should be around long after his prodigy status expires. Rating: 3 1/2 of 4 stars.”
