Customer Reviews of This Album/CD |
|
 Likable album
Submitted on: 2009-10-05 |

The first few tracks are great!! Good driving music, very catchy. Later tracks are not as strong or as catchy, and a couple are downright depressing.
His vocals are like Jack Johnson and Paul Simon, nice guitar, and some Ben Harper percussion is thrown in. Most tracks are nicely balanced and very listenable. |

 Evolution of Xavier Rudd
Submitted on: 2008-02-18 |

| Most of Xavier Rudd's albums stick to a recipe of slide guitar, didgeridoo and strong lyrics. Great recipe for his first 3 albums and his latest White Moth. (Best of this recipe: Solace) but I want an artist to evolve. This album does this by branching out and introducing new sounds. Great album. |

Food in Belly
Submitted on: 2007-06-27 |

| I bought this CD because I couldn't get The Message out of my head after hearing it on the radio. I knew nothing about the band and was happy to find that there are many tracks I find myself playing over and over. Food in the Belly is another great one. I love the lyrics and the lead vocalist sounds a bit like Paul Simon, but edgier. Great buy. |

Such a Find
Submitted on: 2007-04-17 |

| A brilliant songwriter/musician. Excellent sound. Outstanding lyrics. Something very subtle (in a positive way, not meant as in boring or staid) and charming about "Food in the Belly" by Xavier Rudd. Loving the song "Messages" have listened multiple times, each time, I slip a bit further into the music. |

 College radio stations take notice

This was an impulse purchase; I wanted to sample something a little fresh, something new, and went with Xavier Rudd. The college crowd should be duly impressed with this outing. The rest of us may have to let it sink in over time.
There are some lilting tunes amid random cacophany on this experiment; the better ones soothe the ears. Rudd is not a poet in the ranks with Dylan or Mitchell, but he gets a fair amount of social commentary under the skin.
To be fair, this is something that most younger music fans should take notice of, because at least it takes some dares. I also give credit for Rudd incorporating his self proclaimed mentor Paul Simon. I didn't know he had such admiration until I read some reviews, but I found myself saying " Hmm.... some of this sounds like ' Graceland' era Paul Simon." If you want something that is a touch edgy, a bit melodic and a little profound, pick this up. |
