Album Description:
The Louisville, Kentucky outfit continues to defy categorization in their follow-up to the critically acclaimed 'At Dawn ', and 'The Tennessee Fire', albums with 35 minutes of southern blues, Americana and dreamy psychedelica. Their main appeal stems from the haunting, raw vocals of lead singer and guitarist Jim James. 6 tracks. Badman Records. 2002.

Chocolate and Ice is the fourth EP from this Louisville, Kentucky, band who exhibit a curious fondness for beards, bluegrass, and Neil Young. The music, as expected, is an intriguing mix of Americana and psychedelia, pairing jangly guitars and molasses-thick rhythms with frontman Jim James's serviceable falsetto.

Though doggedly left field, it is actually enjoyable stuff. --Aidin Vaziri

Chocolate and Ice is called an EP, as it has 6 songs, but it clocks it at 40 mins. So, it plays like an album. It pulls you right in with reverb drenched vocals and heartfelt, intriguing lyrics with a sweeter than molasses vocal. These songs are so good that you want to keep the CD on repeat mode. It's hard to pick favorites, though the 24 minute epic, "Cobra" has to be one of them.

AT DAWN is a great recrord. TENNESSEE FIRE is equally stunning, despite it's crude recording methods. This latest release sounds like it was recorded mid tour in a fancy studio. Suffice it to say, this is not their most focused work. The opening cut has all the elements of a great song, but is a little too off the cuff to be memorable. "Sooner" & the closer, "Sweeatheart" are more on par. "Cobra" is a sprawling epic, verging on 15 minutes. But it's no SISTER RAY. It comes off sounding more like some ... Read More
