The Rusticators - Talking with the Dead
CD review

  The Rusticators are an accoustic duo based in Virginia made up of vocalist Abbey Linfert and vocalist and instrumentalist Chris Amsler.  There newest release Talking with the Dead I would describe as accoustic folk-pop.  It reminded me of some of the slower Monkees tunes.  I loved it!  It was a nice change from all the mainstream pop we hear lately.  The instrumentation was great.  The harmonies were perfect, and the lyrics were some of the most poetic I've ever heard.  You can tell these two are trully artists.  There really wasn't a bad song on the album, but my favorite was Wicked Ways.  I was caught by the rhythm of the song, but after reading the lyrics I liked it even more.  "Take what you want, feast  with great greed; Beautiful bitch, you just wait and see".  Every song had lyrics of this magnificence and beautiful accoustic folk to back them up.  This one's for the artists.  Get yourself a copy and find out more about The Rusticators at www.isart.com.
