An album that changed pop music They played on the CH 12 stage at Summerfest, in Milwaukee, near the main gate. In 1998, I bought this CD, directly from the band. I was impressed not only by their music, but by the fact that their live speaker mix was in stereo, something that I rarely hear! I remember saying to them something like "Maybe we'll hear you on the radio soon, you guys are gonna make it. " There was something different about this band. Their music was part folk, but part pop. I also have their album "Not From Concentrate" which is probably one of their first and probably their best, and has the earlier recordings of some of the songs from this album. The sound on that disc is a little better, too. At first listen, I sorta went. . . ohh kay. The mix on the whole album "We've Never Heard Of You Either" was a little dry - there was something not right about the mix on the vocals. However, after playing the CD two or three times over, I began to like it. I predicted that the song "And Then She Says" could be a hit, except that the intro was a little too long and musically needed a fix. I copied the song into an audio editor, and simply cut out the first "here come's your goodbye". The intro dragged out a little bit, and I thought that this edit was a little more radio friendly. Anyway, this edited copy got sent to a local "micropower" radio station run by one of my friends, on the south side of Milwaukee, where it got lots of airplay between 1998 and 1999. In fact, at one point, the whole album was in the random nightime playlist. It was probably the most airplay the band had gotten anywhere in the country at that time. It was most likely that this album is what got the band discovered by Columbia in 1999 or 2000. The mix on the acoustic version of "crazy for this girl" on the 2000 album is very similar to the mix I heard on stage at Summerfest in 1998. Anyway, if anyone from the band is reading this, I'm glad to hear you made it to the top of the charts, like I said, you guys are gonna make it. . . and you did! One CD can make a difference! Neil Schubert. we've never heard of you either The songs are tell the stories the way they are, and the way everyone can relate to them. this cd is awesome. 'Close my eyes'. . . I can't think of a better song to listen to when I'm down. the beautiful raw 'How to keep the sky from falling', the scream-along song 'Couldn't care less about' and all those other great tracks! This album is a classic. Inspirational Talent I was highly impressed that they wrote all their music and the lyrics are great. From the moment I heard their first big hit, I fell in love with these two guys. I seriously have listened to both their CD's over a million times. The mixture of slow paced melodical music and fast, bouncy beats make for an interesting CD. It's a hard to find CD. . . but well worth it. Evan and Jaron are so much more than "Crazy For This Girl" Especially give "South of Tennessee" a listen. I fell in love with the Lowenstein brothers after hearing Crazy For This Girl, but "We've Never Heard of You Either" is some of Evan and Jaron's best music! Their harmonies are amazing, the lyrics are heartfelt and thought-provoking, and no two songs sound the same, which is SO refreshing. Great album!!. I'm glad I have heard of them! I picked up this CD in a Virgin MegaStore at one of the listning kiosks. . and I didn't put it down. They have an awesome rock/folk mix, great guitar and thoughful lyrics, best of all, the guys are HOT! Every time I listen to their CD I just want to hug my boyfriend. . . it's that good. Buy this one. . . you'll keep it in the disc changer, guaranteed!. You can see a complete list of all Evan and Jaron discography, or go back to the Evan and Jaron tabs
