Cry Cry
(1994)
more music like this
by
Oysterband
"Cry Cry" was the feature single from Oysterband's Holy Bandits album. However, Oysterband is not a singles-oriented group, having never relied on the strength of any one song to boost its career, so it's curious that Rykodisc saw fit to release this four-song single. It's a good thing, though, as the three additional songs here -- "After London," ...

Deserters

by
Oysterband
If you were to play 1992's Deserters alongside the Oyster Band's 1995 release The Shouting Side of Life, you'd notice quite a contrast. While Shouting is a rocking, hot-blooded outing that often brings to mind the exuberance of the Pogues, Deserters is much more subtle and restrained but equally substantial. Both sides of the Oyster Band (which ...

Holy Bandits

by
Oysterband
Buoyed by big, rich production that never slides into slickness, Oysterband (formerly the Oyster Band) sounds like they've been given a blood transfusion on this album. Opening with the joyful one-two punch of "When I'm Up I Can't Get Down" (later a hit for the Canadian folk-rock group Great Big Sea) and "The Road to Santiago" and featuring such ...

(1995)

by
Various Artists
The final volume of the series covers the mid-'70s to the mid-'90s, emphasizing traditional acts who pepped things up with a bit of electricity and eclecticism (Silly Wizard, Mouth Music), acoustic guitarists (Nic Jones, Dick Gaughan, Martin Simpson), "rogue" folkies who merged traditional sounds with influences from modern rock, world music, and ...

Shouting End of Life
(1995)
more music like this
by
Oysterband
With or without singer June Tabor, the Oyster Band was impressively consistent in the 1990s. One of the excellent albums that the Oyster Band provided without Tabor was The Shouting End of Life, a fine example of thinking man's rock. Though British folk has been a major influence on the Oyster Band, much of this CD finds them favoring a Celtic ...

From Little Rock to Leipzig

by
Oysterband
One in a long line of excellent British rock 'n reel bands, the Oyster Band members have not always been at their best in the studio, where their chaotic energy is sometimes sacrificed in the interest of pretty arrangements and strict time. This odds-and-sods collection of live and studio recordings captures that energy better than most of their ...

An impressive collection, Granite Years: Best of 1986-1997 contains over two hours of the finest Oysterband has to offer. Frequently, such comprehensive releases are the cause for debate among the most devoted fans. But that is not the scenario surrounding this release.

First of all, the question must be asked; is John Jones sounding more like Justin Hayward everyday? Moody Blues fans will say "John who?" and Oysterband fans will want to wallop me. Preposterous as it may seem, check out the ending of the chorus to "Milford Haven." It's been alleged that Oysterband has toned it down with this record. Perhaps ...

Oysterband
Oysterband's Trawler is a compilation of favorites from the group's previous seven albums, only newly recorded by the present lineup. Essentially, it's like a "covers" album of The Oysterband covering itself. Long one of Britain's prime synthesists of Celtic and rock, and a thorn in the side of purists everywhere, Trawler takes the group's ...

Here I Stand

Oysterband
It's a simple truism of rock & roll that, as bands get older, they tend to insist more on competent production. Sometimes this works in their favor, and sometimes it doesn't. In general, it's worked well for Oysterband, whose feverish fusion of English traditional song, ceilidh-ready instrumentals, and old-time rock & roll sounded great when they ...

Meet You There
(2007)
by
Oysterband
A new Oysterband is always a bit of an event, and this one's no exception. Whether they're really a folk band of any description these days is a matter of opinion. The influence is there, but the music is really rock, made with intelligence and political awareness for an audience that likes to think as it dances. Although much of this disc follows ...
