From the neo-Phil Spector production touches to the reverb-soaked British Invasion-styled guitars to the lush Everly Brothers-esque vocal harmonies, Like Her is a classic pop album from start to finish. Maybe reviewers will finally retire the term alt-country from their Volebeats vocabularies. (Granted, the band didnt help its case by titling jokingly its last album, a covers-heavy collection of rock, pop and psych, Country Favorites.) In fact, in both sonic and stylistic terms, Like Hers lineage can be traced directly back to the Flamin Groovies 1976 platter Shake Some Action, a power-pop touchstone of no small regard. The lovelorn vibe and guitar-vocal arrangement of Here It Comes Again, for example, recalls Shake Somes You Tore Me Down, right down to the closing chord (and dont miss the aforementioned Spector-esque flourishes, particularly the castanets and symphonic bass drum). The buoyant Byrdsian jangle that infuses This Girl makes the tune a close cousin to the Groovies I Cant Hide, and knowing that the Groovies and their Shake Some producer, Dave Edmunds, were huge Everly Brothers fans makes the harmony-rich Everytime (co-written by the Voles Jeff Oakes and Matthew Smith with Ryan Adams) and September Spell go down that much sweeter. Will pop fans some two decades hence cite the Volebeats as a seminal act of its era the same way Groovies acolytes regard their heroes? Hard to say; the landscapes a lot more littered in 2005 than it was in 1976. But I do guarantee that Like Her will only get better with time. " Fred Mills-Detroit Metro Times------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------------------------"The venerable Volebeats have been around since I was in high school (which is long ago enough to warrant the term "venerable"). They were the default local opening act for every tour that came through Detroit. Their old singer, Terry, had black teeth and sang songs about dating women in their 50s. Like Her, demonstrates greater confidence and maturity, even if their teeth are a bit whiter. It's out now and you can buy it or download it now through eMusic." -3hive.com-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------------------Also see the Volebeats appearing in the Steve Martin/Clare Danes/Jason Schwartzman movie Shopgirl on DVD NOW!!!!
