Critics Weigh In on All Wood and Doors
Monday, October 17, 2011 at 01:53PM Hey Kids,
All Wood and Doors, the duet CD that Cliff Eberhardt and I did is getting some pretty amazing reviews. Check them out and, by the way, you can hear the tunes and order the CD at www.allwoodanddoors.com... I know many of you know of this CD, but just in case. And here's what they’re just saying…
James Lee Stanley and Cliff Eberhardt are excellent pickers and what they did to our songs is unique and refreshing. It was a pleasure to be a part of the project. John Densmore/The Doors
…All Wood and Doors is a piece that has complex layers and special beauty, and which flies all on its own. The poetry and melodies are brought forth through the ingenious arrangements on every track. Whether a Doors fan or not, then or now, you will marvel at how fresh and different, yet familiar it is. Alternate Root
…I’m not an audiophile so usually sound quality isn’t a big issue to me, but when it’s outstanding, it’s worth mentioning. On All Wood and Doors it is so clear; the clarity so striking, it impresses the ear as soon as you start to listen. Examiner.com
…Pulling the plug! The Doors hits in new acoustic setting. A great idea, beautifully executed. FIVE STARS Steve Ramm/Anything Phonographic
… Everything about Stanley and Eberhardt works very well, trading off vocals, rhythm guitars, and lead lines in around riffs from the other six fretbenders, all of whom are 100% copacetic, no one glory-hogging. Can't wait to see which band is next in this series. I'm pretty sure it won't be Led Zeppelin…but then again… Mark Tucker/Fame
…so it’s to their considerable credit that not only have they approached this material from an original direction they’ve done so in a way which breathes new life into songs that many will have lived with for forty-plus years. … special mention must be made for that most idiosyncratic of all Doors tracks, “The End”. Tagged on the end, and at 2:36, a mere fragment of the original, it somehow encapsulates their whole approach to the project. Try and hear it if you can. Rob F/Leiscester Bangs
…With stellar lead guitar work, many songs would be unrecognizable without lyric content. Stanley & Eberhardt bring in an all star cast of Krieger, Densmore, Juber, Barrere, and more to create this great listen for Doors fans and acoustic music fans alike. Andy Mesecher/Music Connection
…A dozen Doors classics from folk music guitar pickers? Huh? How can this be so good? Crisp guitar licks—mostly done on the "wood" of the album's title—help slap a fresh coat of varnish on The Doors. —Rob Weir/Valley Advocate
…Whoever came up with this idea deserves a star on Hollywood Blvd. A tribute that works amazingly well. When’s the follow up? jazz weekly
With the inspired phrasing and vocal arrangements, the textures blend well together, yet leave plenty of space for the character of the acoustic guitars to resonate. It’s often easy to forget that these are Doors songs, especially in this fresh acoustic context, and that’s OK, because the guitar playing is tasty and sensitive, with the kind of economy and note selection you’ll find when you hear seasoned musicians who understand the beauty of restraint. Wood & Steel / Taylor Guitar Quarterly
…What’s most immediately noticeable is the wonderful clarity and beauty of the production. The guitar work is the cornerstone of the album. Both James Lee and Cliff are true guitar virtuosos and the play between their two guitars lays down the foundation for each track. The arrangements are all wonderful and unique and sound nothing like the originals. Folkworks
