The 11-tune collection marks Yusuf’s harking back to his Tea For The Tillerman/Teaser vein of reflective spiritual quest in a musical setting that is largely acoustic and intimate, recorded live with minimal overdubs. His jangly acoustic guitar rhythms buoy the time-rolls-on leadoff track “Welcome Home,” and he quotes the piano open of “Sitting” (from 1972’s Catch Bull at Four) on his catchy “Be What You Must,” a tune about the wisdom of seeking a fulfilled life. While Yusuf probes the dark throughout (most poignantly on the string-turbulent “Rain”), the underlining buoyancy of roadsinger is his troubadour spirit embodied in a confident faith that provides the light.” - Billboard, May 9 2009 Where YOU can catch Yusuf on TV next week: May 13: Jay Leno, May 14: The Colbert Report, May 15: Jimmy Fallon and Charlie Rose LA Weekly enjoys playing around with Puppets “[Meat Puppets] are now on a new label, Megaforce, for the release of their latest CD, Sewn Together, which is a wonderfully satisfying work that evokes classic mid-'80s era albums like Up on the Sun. As ever, Curt Kirkwood sings with a laconic drawl, even as his guitar bubbles over with madly psychedelic riffs on tracks like "Love Mountain." The Puppets ramble through bleary-eyed country numbers like "Smoke" and stretch out into stranger territory on the elegantly trippy piano ballad "Clone," where Curt ruminates about scientists "cutting up the molecules of gold" to create "the perfect sheep" who "can fly a fancy plane." Somehow, it all does get sewn together in a mix of styles that's both head-spinning and earthily rocking.” For up-to-the-minute AAA news... RIGHT ARM RESOURCE WEEKLY READER - 5/6/09.
