The Librarians – Bizarro Suite
The Librarians are an ultra tight folk combo with an evident slick sound on their new 6-song record.
The album starts strong with the haunting “Gone” which made me feel like I was in a surreal black and white film in the south that had the Devil involved somehow. Real strong stuff, total pro. After the instrumental “Sweet Lucy” the band strikes it up with “A Guide to the Outdoors” live from The Honeymoon which is a real treat if you are in to that kind of hippie, aura, folk, tree hugger, soft, introspective, emo rock. I also thought the horn was very neat in this song. Another tasty instrumental, “Western Spaghetti” is followed by the pleasant “Sunday” with neat 3-part runs that were intoxicating and the best vocal harmonies of the CD. This was my favorite song. It’s like a great classic 50’s song that could live forever.

Things wind down with “Steamboat Slough,” another foot tapping instrumental that made me recall my days as a young boy on the Mississippi with my friends Tom Sawyer and African American Jim.
All in all, a very enjoyable collection from the Librarians that will have you checking out this book time and time again.
