%) VISIT AMAZON.COM'S PAGE | Editorial Reviews : Imagine Pink Floyd's The Wall reconstructed from bales of hay. The idea of this concept album translated into a hillbilly hoedown of banjos and fiddles may sound interesting, but the results can wear thin pretty quickly. Part of the problem is that Canada's Luther Wright & the Wrongs don't sound like they have a deep attachment to either classic rock or traditional bluegrass. Instead, this plays like a joke--a Hee Haw skit carried to extremes. While the bittersweet balladry of 'The Thin Ice' and the call-and-response of 'Mother' adapt surprisingly well to the sound of old-time country, the banjo-driven 'Another Brick in the Wall' and the jaunty drive of 'Comfortably Numb' put the arrangements at odds with the mood of the material. Consider this release to be curious fallout from the chart-topping success of O Brother, Where Art Thou?, which sold most of its millions of CDs to those raised on rock rather than mountain music.
Buyer Reviews : Having been a Pink Floyd fan for the past 30 years and also an avid Country fan I was intrigued by the reviews of this CD. I bought it! I wasn't disappointed. Every now and then something happens that makes your life as little better - for me it was when this dropped through my letterbox. Technically it is brilliant. The production and thought that has gone into keeping the original atmosphere of Floyd is supreme but the surprises are absolute fantastic.
Mother is my favourite track ... but I have nearly worn the damned thing out. Don't miss out buy it! ...
