BenWJun 25, 2004I'm obviously missing something, as I found this all just a bit to twee. Banhart's playing is certainly impressive, but I didn't feel the songs were that interesting and his Marc Bolan impersonation started to grate. When he uses a band things improve dramtically - perhaps this could be a future direction for him.

Though his second CD has a charming Ambrose Bierce quality to it, a little goes a long way.

The WireBanhart mixes a relaxed bearing and a tense vocal delivery in a fascinating manner. [#245, p.51]

Its as simple as songwriting can get; as striking as songwriting can get.
