... As fans of musicology and folklore will
be quick to acknowledge when choosing between
hard facts and myth the latter is always more
reliable-and also more fun.
So let's welcome the return of the long-remembered
and embellished traditional music that was
part and parcel of the union of National Steel
guitarist Tom Hall ( winner of last year's RFT
music poll as Best Solo Artist), multi-instrumentalist
Steve Mote and washboard rhythm giant David Gebben.
This time out, new and improved, thanks to the
presence of Alice Spencer, whose dynamic range,
soulful resonance and emotive depth belie her
twenty something youthfulness.
That Spencer was a minor deity on the local scene

Great Dream refers to the cut Great Dream of Heaven. The Sheiks were a St. Louis band with a unique flashback 30's sound. The instrumentals are great, and the standout feature is Alice Spencer's incredible vocals. At the time this was recorded, she was impossibly young for the amazing sound and maturity she brings. If there'd been an American Idol at the time, she'd have been nationally known a long time ago. Her voice has been compared with the power of a Janis Joplin, only clean and pure. She would compare favorably with Madeline Peyroux. There are plenty of favorite cuts here, but I never thought I'd fall in love with Sixteen Tons by anyone but Tennessee Ernie Ford. Spencer just owns it. She explores her more lyrical side on Dimming of the Day. But there's not a single bad cut on this awesome album. This is the only album this group ever recorded. All the songs are reminiscent of an earlier age, and it just doesn't get any better. The cuts that don't feature Alice are also wonderful genre/period pieces (Dance Around In Your Bones) show off the rest of the band as being fabulous as well...but it's Alice's vocals that light this up.
