Water

Description

Water is an album by the American rock band Between Thieves, released on Tattoo Records in 1998, a division of Benson Records, distributed in the US by Provident Music Distribution. The album was recorded by Derri Daugherty at Great Circle Sound in Nashville, Tennessee; with Steve Hindalong producing, both of The Choir fame. Mixed by J.R. McNeeley at Battery Studios in Nashville.

Hailing from the States, Between Thieves are yet another example of a genre fast becoming overcrowded. Featuring Jason Wesson (vocals), James Yourman (bass), Jason Davis (drums/percussion) and Josh Watkins (guitars), it is James Yourman’s thumping bass that adds extra spice to the album’s mood. With ‘Water’, the band prove themselves to be prolific song writers, able to express themselves eloquently both sonically and lyrically; though it must be said that there is nothing here that particularly grabs the listener’s attention, that would ear mark ‘Water’ as being a cut above the norm. Produced by Steve Hindalong (The Choir, Lost Dogs), too often certain passages herein sound uncomfortably close to Steve’s own band for my liking. Overall another ‘safe’ alternative album, which sadly fails to fully realise Between Thieves’ potential. [Alex Figgis, Cross Rhythms, June 1999]
