Reviews Customer Reviews for Mighty Joe Moon      Unique Sound      Rating:      This group was a new discovery for me, I heard one of their songs on a "House" episode and looked it up. I ended up purchasing 5 of their CD's which is very unusual for me. They have a very unique sound almost haunting. I would recommend purchasing this CD very much.     Customer Reviews for Mighty Joe Moon Cd      I Can't Stop Listening to This CD!      Rating:      An aquaintance introduced me to Grant Lee Buffalo about 11 years ago but I still listen to them often. I saw Grant Lee Buffalo in concert and they rocked! This CD is their best in my opinion. Just listen to it and you'll see why. I'm usually a fan of rock but this CD is awesome! It is a must buy! The whole CD is great but if I had to choose, Lone Star Song, Mighty Joe moon, Lady Godiva and Me, Drag, Honey Don't Think and Rock of Ages are my favorites. I could listen to them over and over- which I do. You'll love this CD! Editorial Reviews for Mighty Joe Moon Audio Cd      Amazon.com      Created against the backdrop of the American wasteland, Mighty Joe Moon introduces vast rock textures with traces of southern alternatwang. Layered with guitar, banjo, Dobro, cello, mandolin, accordion, harmonica, pump organ, tablas, and "acquired hunks of metal," the band reconfigures sound with rustic debauchery. The strident vocal work of singer-songwriter Grant Lee Phillips generates folk mythology and political commentary with a nod to disparate class distinctions. Recounting individualized stories, outland tracks such as "Demon Called Deception" portray personal struggles against manifest destiny, while tender ballads such as "Mockingbirds" and "Honey Don't Think" maintain the balance. Given its earnest overtones, the nature of the album is uplifting at its core as it lingers with emotional affinities that touch upon the notion of simple livelihood. --Lucas Hilbert
