Moshav - Misplaced Review

I just got this CD last night and I must have listened to it 5 times already. It's that good. Trust me, if you get it, you'll feel the same way. This disk is Moshav's (Previously Moshav Band) newest release. It starts off with "The Only One" which has really good guitar by Duvid Swirsky and is very catchy. The next song, "Closer" has great cello and violin and pounding percussion by Yehuda Solomon. "When I'm Gone" follows, and is very very catchy. The next song, "Misplaced" is the most powerful on the album, with really smart lyrics and good keyboard. The next song, "Cold Cry" starts off with a cool guitar intro, and starts a nice song and Yehuda's voice really shines. "Hallelu" is the next song, and it has a really cool rhythm and good overdubbing in the chorus. The next song, "Lift Up Your Head" is the best song on the album, with AWESOME reggae beats, and the backround lyrics throughout the song make it complete. The percussion is really good too.

The following song, "Streets Of Jerusalem", is very soft and calming with a Sting-like feel.

C Lanzbaum plays guitar on this song as a guest. The next song, "Jockey Full Of Bourbon", a cover of the classic Tom Waits song, is very good and really gets you into it. The next song,

"Heart Is Open", is nice and soft, with very inspiring lyrics and good backround percussion. "Stand Up", the following song, features Yehuda Solomon's brother Meir on mandolin and is very nice. The second to-last song, "Abba Shimon" was released on an earlier disk of theirs, Malachim, but it has been revamped for a wider audience. It is in Yemenite and has very cool backround guitar. The last song is "Dream Again" which has wonderful lyrics and nice guitar from the hands of Duvid Swirsky, and is a fitting end to such an incredible album. I highly suggest that you get this album. It's the best album that I have listened to in ages.

Peace Out
