| Austin Chronicle June 29, Vol. 20 No.44 CD Music Review ( Texas Platters) Quatropaw- Flight Since the self- loathing smashes by Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins, and the tra-la-la throw aways from the likes of Smash Mouth and the Bloodhound Gang, it's now taken for granted that no modern rocker can be positive and substansive at once. Just like the old saw says any act flirting with folk music will envitably reek of campfires and patchouli. Such dismissive assumptions are why it's so encouraging to hear Austin's Quatropaw go against both grains, to a large degree anyhow, on the local foursomes third release, Flight . The title cut is a good place to start, its Peter Gunn, bassline and some nifty echo crafting a close rival to U2's "Elevation" for sheer effusiveness. " Passionate" demonstrates that guitarist and singer Jason Richard can be zealous about love's transformative powers as Cowboy Mouth's Fred Leblanc , and wife Beth's rich contralto spins a yarn of domestic longing on "Rachel's Dream" that Sheryl Crow would do well to duplicate. Elsewhere, " Mile in the Desert" and Satisfied" comfortably toe in the line between overt folk and agile roots rock, and for fun, album closer "'Car Stereo Jam" finds bassist Dave Warren and drummer Derek Hatley airing out some of their hip-hop chops. Further winners include the mysterious "Angels" and lithe "Nobody's Home". Neither acoustic nor electric, folk or funk, Quatropaw continue forging a singular and sunny path, and as the title suggests, may only now be about to soar. ( 3 1/2 Stars -out of 4) |

| Hull Daily Mail from East Yorkshire, England June 7th, 2002 ' What's On' ' CD Album of the Week' (five stars *****) Hailing from Austin, Texas vis an Independent label based in the UK, just about guaranteed this CD a review for curiosity value. But it must be said it was well worth putting in the CD tray. With a raw, almost live (rather than over-produced studio) sound to the drums and acoustic guitars, topped off with a mixture of male and female vocals, this is an album rooted in classic American rock. It is brought up to date with new Millenium song writing and I am sure this album will appeal to fans of Fleetwood Mac, Crowded House, Lou Reed or even John Mellancamp. Copies can be obtained from the band's website where there is a wealth of information about the band as well as a couple of free downloads for you to decide for yourself. |
