CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Neil Halstead is emerging as one of the greatest country singers Great Britain has ever birthed. Such a list might be short, but Halstead is leading it nonetheless. Having contributed two outstanding tracks to Manifesto Records' Tim Buckley tribute album, Sing a Song for You, Halstead and his band are on a solid creative roll. Excuses for Travellers, Mojave 3's third album, is arguably the band's best. Any previous tentative feelings have been replaced by the confident, delicate roll of pedal steel that sweeps through these bittersweet tunes. "In Love with a View," "Trying to Reach You," and "When You're Drifting" stick out immediately, but most of these songs unpeel slowly with each listen. Just as the Cowboy Junkies and Nick Drake--to whom they are not necessarily compared but definitely spiritually connected--quietly pleaded their case, Mojave 3 are determined to mature subtly. --Rob O'Connor Similar CDs

CD ReviewsWill Always Be One of My Favorites B. VanLaeken | Pembroke Pines, FL | 09/18/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I first owned this on record. This is the perfect album for: Roadtrips alone. Roadtrips with a good friend. A broken heart. Anytime. Neil Halstead reminds me of Nick Drake. Prayer for the Paranoid is a great song. I like that so far all of Mojave 3's albums have sounded somewhat different. This album has more of an "Out of Tune" feel to it than "Ask Me Tomorrow". It isn't Slowdive, but that's fine because it's nice to hear more than one type of music from a good band." The Only Album I've Found So Far To Make The Banjo Sound Bea William J. Smalley | Huntington, WV | 09/14/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Mojave 3 are an amazing group, combining folk/shoegazing/and tads and pieces of country to make great ablums. Excuses for Travelers is a great album full of beautiful music that I would recomend to anyone. This album also has the distinct fact of being the only album that I've found that can use a banjo and make me love it. (I usually have a strong fear/dislike of the banjo) So, in other words, pick-up the damn album." I cant stop listening to it Sam | Southborough, Ma United States | 09/02/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is a remarkable CD. I love every song and I can't help but listen to this cd almost every day. Its perfect for any time of day. The songs that stick out for me are "In Love with a View," "My life in Art," "Return to Sender," and "When You're Drifting" though every song is beautiful and worth your time. It is one of cd's that I listen to the most even though I haven't listen to much of the other works by Halstead. But I assure you that even if you're not a fan of slowdive or even Rock and Roll, this CD will make you feel good and it will be one of your favorites. It is one of those CDs that you make sure your friends and family listen to intently to make sure they hear all the amazing sounds that Mojave 3 make on this album. Do yourself a favor and buy the album. It's worth whatever you have in your wallet."
