 has an album ever changed your life?

i had the life-changing pleasure of seeing xavier rudd live at two festivals in a row while he was on his white moth tour. i remember standing on the earth, feeling like rudd's music was a conduit connecting me to something greater. this album comes very close to the live experience. i recommend that you listen to it very loud, outdoors, on a summer day.
maybe it's because he uses aboriginal music as his inspiration, or maybe it's just because he f***ing rocks, but when xavier rudd goes off on the didgeridoo, i lose all sense of space and time. on the calmer songs, his lyrics uplift my soul. this album is my favorite, but they are all wonderful in their own right. i also highly recommend downloading the song "chant," which I believe is only sold as a single.

An awesome disc. Xavier Rudd plays slide guitar, percussion, australian aboriginal instruments.Overall the music is joyful and uplifting. It is inclusive incorporating contemporary with indigenous, musicians and singers including a Cree singer and aboriginal children. In addtion the lyrics celebrate the earth and speak of its need for our attention.
It is an album that uplifts social consciousness stimulates awareness
of our common bonds on the earth. Bravo to Xavier Rudd and his happy
collection of musicians! |

| The review of "White Moth" in the magazine "Dirty Linen" peaked my curiosity. This is my first Rudd disc. It is worth repeated listenings and close inspection. As a vocalist, Rudd's voice is strong, but not overpowering. The opening track "Better People" is a mellow melodious midtempo number with a catchy chorus and a positive upbeat lyric, "giving food to the hungry, giving hope to the needy, giving life to a baby, giving care for free." "Twist" adopts a light reggae grove with a mystical lyric, "Can you sing to your creator, give tobacco to a tree or some flowers to your mother cause she gave you what you need?" While I'm clueless why one would give tobacco to a tree, it's a nice sound. The title track is a 2-minute ray of sunshine, "We're all here together on this beautiful day." The 7-minute "Footprint" rolls like a lost Led Zeppelin. "Anni Kookoo" is a soft acoustic gem that really brings Jack Johnson to mind. The instrumental "Message Stick" is unusually offbeat with its traditional sound and has become one of my moody favorite tracks on the CD. "Come Back" is a lovely lament, "I see your face when I'm staring out the window beaming down in the moonlight; The winter is colder without you by my side." "White Moth" is a varied, creative set. It has depth unified by a unique artistic vision. Enjoy! |

| This album is fine is you are new to Xavier Rudd. It gives you a nice showcase of his talents without much deviation from older material. The addition of indigenous vocals is a very nice touch though. Overall, a good album but not my favorite Rudd album. (See Food in the Belly) |

A new fan for life!

| I saw a quick glimps of an artist on television one night, and when he was finished they held up the cover of "White Moth". I didn't hear who the artist was, but I immediately went on line and ordered the album. While I was there, I also ordered his other album "Solace." Both are teriffic! I am now a fan for life! |
