Blind Willies
The Unkindness of Ravens CD
B
Blind Willies play incredibly wonderful music.
Alexei is a remarkable songwriter. I cannot
urge fans of all sorts of folk music enough
that they should not miss out on The
Unkindness of Ravens. The opening track
alone is sufficient to pay for this debut CD,
but there are nine other gems just waiting to
be discovered.

Jennifer Patton, Delusions of Adequacy
-------------------------------------------------------

The Unkindness Of Ravens came today
in the mail. I'm listening to it now.
And I love it, the songs, the good
sound of it, the intimacy of it, old
spirits joined in its newness.

I will introduce your music to my
show's listeners on March 1st.
Thank you for sharing yourselves in
music, and for getting a copy of
this beautiful recording to me.

--------------------------------------------------------

" . . . these ten tales explore the darker
side of life with word play that is
evocative of a quiet desperation, a cool
loathing of unavoidable situations or
perhaps a pitiful yearning for
redemption. Take this as an example:
"There's something in the night/even
when you're blind/taking drugs to
cancel time/that keeps your eyes wide
open/and your heart clenched tight."
(There's Something in the Night), or the
near genius of: "Marie was born in
Santa Fe/with saxophone and pretty
lace/she'd play for food or spread her
thighs/depending on the moon/and on
its hollow bones of solitude." (Marie).
There's plenty more where these gems
came from and with scarcely a track
less than five, six or seven minutes
long there's plenty of scope for
developing the themes."

Paul Villers, Americana UK
--------------------------------------------------------

Listening to this album is like reading a
book of stories in a Greyhound terminal
in the middle of the night. There are a
few people sleeping in chairs around
you, the fluorescent lights are spooky
and warm at the same time, and one
stark and poignant story after
another--of loss, redemption, love,
hope and no hope--leaves you
somehow elated to be alive and on your
way anywhere. I love these songs.

Sean Adams, CD Baby review
---------------------------------------------------------

We got this in the mail a couple of
weeks ago and really like the
stripped-down folky sound to Blind
Willies . . . "Marie" reminds me of
"Hobo," a very old Tim Buckley tune
that I have on vinyl on a Linda
Ronstadt/Stone Poneys compilation.
"Hobo" has a cold and blustery sound
to it, like a Northeastern winter by the
ocean. "Hobo" and "Marie" share a
similar, repeated descending melody,
but "Marie" sounds more like the
blown-out desert, a cold wind howling
as the sun descends on a scrubby
landscape of rock and cactus. The
song's tragic teen storyline reminds me
of Ben Ehrenreich's novel, The Suitors.

From Jennifer Patton's 2007 Top 10 list:

I still enjoy folk music, but the great albums
seem fewer and farther between each year.
Blind Willies surprised me by bringing back that
wide-eyed joyful feeling that I used to get from
albums like this. “Last Rites in December” is the
one song that left me completely stunned every
time I heard it.
