| My favorite band and I have seen them nearly every time they have come to Humboldt County, CA! Besides having a boyish crush on Vikki (I'm way too old for that, but what can I say?) I think The Waifs are the perfect combination of musical quality and evening entertainment. Their bluesy interpretations and magical solos stick with me. This CD is the epitome of their classics. Every listening I've made of this CD takes me back to the great shows they have done here behind the Redwood Curtain. Buy it and enjoy! |

Excellent Album

| This is one of the best albums I have ever bought (I own about 200). I saw the Waifs play at the Newport Folk Fest a few years ago, and fell in love with them, not just because of the two beautiful lead woman, with irresistible Aussie accents, but their fun, well written music. I highly recommend it. |

| I have trouble not giving everything from the Waifs at least a 5. But if it was possible I would give this one a 6. |

| The Waifs are from Australia and they never forget it, even as all three write and sing of distance and rootlessness. The sound features wonderful harmonies between the two Simpson sisters, excellent harmonica on almost every song, and can be country-bluesy (Flesh and Blood), 60's-like (London Still), or recall some Lucinda Williams Louisiana-style yearning (Highway One). Every five cuts or so up pops a song from Joshua Cunningham who speaks (a smoother Tom Waits and very like his countryman Paul Kelly) more than sings his lyrics and looks back to things gone, either by twenty years (Since I've Been Around) or one night (Up All Night). Three Down is standard "oh-how-hard-it-is-to-be-on-the-road" stuff, but all the other eleven songs are fresh takes on the performers's universal themes -- love, loss, home and the road. Aside from the ones I've mentioned already, I especially liked Fourth Floor and Lighthouse. |

An Aussie Triumph

| 'Up All Night' is, to put it simply, one of the best albums you could ever hope to hear. With vocals that go from soulful to searing, guitar that does the same, and songwriting that puts the Fred Dursts of the world to shame, The Waifs have put together something remarkable. It's not often you hear an independent release that sounds this good, and it is to the bands credit that they are achieving more exposure than ever. Donna (will you marry me?), Vikki and Josh combine brilliantly on every song. It is just so refreshing to hear music that shows clearly how much the artists enjoy making it. The standout tracks are London Still (an anthem for all Aussie expats), Fisherman's Daughter, and Fourth Floor, each different, but each brilliant in its own right. The Waifs style is hard to classify, but this pop/folk/country trio quite obviously have the magic touch, and it is a shame more people aren't aware of them. If you have a brain you will buy this album, and support independent music. Also, if you ever get a chance to see them live, do whatever it takes to get to the show.They are always amazing. This is music to put a smile on your face. |
