Nothing Rhymes With Woman

Nothing Rhymes With Woman

2009 release from the Virginia-based Pop/Rock outfit. Some bands insist on dragging listeners into their world, but Carbon Leaf works towards a more admirable and considerably more difficult goal: that of letting perfect strangers feel that the band understands their world. The band succeeds in doing just that on its third Vanguard release, Nothing Rhymes With Woman. Produced by John Morand, who manned the board for their Vanguard debut, Indian Summer, Nothing Rhymes With Woman finds the band firmly in touch with its roots. Throughout the set, however, the quintet affirms a commitment to moving forward, kicking out the jams a bit more aggressively on the sinewy walking Blues 'Another Man's Woman' and interpolating the rich organ playing of longtime Dave Matthews Band keyboardist Butch Taylor on several tracks.
