Comments for The Samples, The Samples (Blue Album)

The debut album from Boulder`s favorite sons. Reggae-tinged,folk-minded rock on the soft side, with environmental themes. Lead singerSean Kelly`s Sting-like vocals can soar in the Samples` layeredharmonies. "Feel Us Shaking" is a triumph. Minor shortcomingsin the band`s lyrics owe to oversimplification that doesn`t occur too often to tolerate.
