Comparisons:

General comments:

jill sobule plays smart, punchy guitar pop, writes matter-of-fact songs often tinged with humor but always revealing a keen observant eye, and sings with a sweet, but sardonic, voice. she's a surprisingly tasty guitarist too (it's not obvious from the records, but her talent really shows live). far as i'm concerned, her live shows are not to be missed. (woj@smoe.org)

Her music is kinda on the thin side. Not ethereal, not 'folk' simple, just thin. Jewel can *make* her voice sound like a little kid; Jill Sobule sounds like a little kid. (zzkwhite@ktwu.wuacc.edu)

I adore her first album (Things Here Are Different). I was underwhelmed by the second one. (mjmjminla@yahoo.com)

Jill Sobule is funny, folky, rocky music. Her music is as adorable as her personality and her person. (JoAnn Whetsell)

Comments about live performance:

I went to see Jill Sobule play with Lloyd Cole at the Double Door in Chicago. She was center-stage, solo, for over 1/2 hour. This naturally was great. Compared to Cole, (or anyone for that matter) she is a ball of musical energy. She is a great guitarist, sounding like a whole band in one person! I was most impressed. She just came alive on stage like few performers do. She was animated, fun, funky, funny, jumped around a lot. She played stuff mostly from the latest album. Sobule is one of those people who have an incredible facility with the guitar, who seem to just effortlessly go at it and make it sound amazing so much so that you look in disbelief and cannot understand how *that* sound can come out of her doing *that* to that instrument. Wow. I would put Shawn Colvin in that camp, and Jonatha Brooke, and Susan Werner...anyways, there it was, this very quirky, pixie-ish woman playing her songs for a while until Lloyd came back with his band and they actually backed *her* up on a few songs (which were equally great) and then they switched and Lloyd played the rest of the night except for "I kissed a Girl" which they did towards the end of the show.
     Watching Jill play backup/lead guitar for Cole was just fine. She still did some cool stuff on her gretsch and the mini-acoustic she had played before. Fun stuff. Who cares what the songs were, I just watched her the whole time.
     Bottom line—if you like her music, go see her. I hope she gets the recognition she deserves. (mjmjminla@yahoo.com)

jill was charming, entertaining, and articulate. i keep forgetting what a good guitar player she is. her songs sometimes leave a bit to be desired, but when they're good, they're great. and her songwriting has only gotten better. (woj@smoe.org)

I saw Jill Sobule play solo with her electric guitar. She is a delightful performer! She took requests from the audience and told wonderful little stories. (colford@chlotrudis.org)

Saw her a few weeks ago—excellent show! Jill brought her mom onstage to sing "Big Shoes" with her (about when she had to wear orthopedic shoes as a kid) and had the Jillettes onstage singing backup with her for a couple of songs. They were 3 high school girls (fans) who used to sing at her gigs sometimes a few years ago. What hams—they stole the show! Good singers though. (08/99, KBolin0418@aol.com) Jill was an engaging stage personality. I saw her at Lilith Fair 1997, and she had a short set, but she told lots of funny stories behind songs like "Margaret" and "Karen By Night," which are also funny songs. She was really relaxed as she tried to figure out which songs she felt like playing, and her sound was full and interesting even though she didn't have a backup band. She didn't play her trademark "I Kissed a Girl" though, despite loud and repeated requests from the crowd. (10/99, JoAnn.Whetsell)

Jill Sobule absolutely cracks me up, and last Friday night was no exception. She was very punchy, having come straight from a cross-country flight to the Cafe. (She had been in L.A., among other things playing guitar in a friend's band that they named "The Axis Of Evil".) The place was packed, and it turned into a very informal evening, as people asked questions and Jill engaged in conversation with the audience in between songs. She didn't really have a set list, and so ended up doing a lot of requests. She managed to fit in a few new songs, and recruited people from the front row to hold her lyrics sheets. And, some girls in the back who couldn't have been more than 13 or 14 years old joined her on stage to sing backup on "Supermodel" (they were pretty good, too!). It was a great show, as usual one which left my sides smarting for a while afterwards. (02/02, meth@smoe.org)

her show was superfun. (iflin@speakeasy.net)

Comments:

This is a great album. My favorite song is "Evian"—anyone know exactly what this is about (some kind of international meeting or treaty or something)? The title track is also great—well, the whole album is. i really enjoyed when it was released. it's light poppy stuff, but it's pretty good nonetheless. ;) (mjmjminla@yahoo.com)

Her first album is very good, and featured the single/video "Too cool to fall in love" and the beautiful song, "Life goes on without you." if you like her, try to find her first album too. (colford@chlotrudis.org)

first album by her has some jazz feels to it. check out the song "too cool to fall in love" for what i mean. (iflin@speakeasy.net)

it's a mite different from the new one though. i re-listened to it last week on a whim and still liked it, but it's lusher and slicker in a different sense than the crisp, clean guitar sound on the later ones. (woj@smoe.org)

Comments:

wow. and i thought i liked things here are different. it took me a while to really get into this album, but it's a gem. this is one album that definitely works mainly on a lyrical level for me, even though i've described myself as a "music person" :) not to say that the music isn't good, in fact it's excellent, but i doubt this album would've wormed its way so far into my heart based on the music alone. lovely mix of witty, funny and insightful. songs like "resistance song" and "trains" are my favourites. definitely also "i kissed a girl" :) witty, funny, cute.... :) (damon)

I was not impressed with Jill's stuff, even though I really like "I Kissed a Girl". The rest just seems like, well, fluff. Maybe she's better live. (Matt.Bittner)

suffice to say that there are some really great guitar pop songs here and the rest of the album, while not perfect pop gems, certainly are nice. "i kissed a girl" is essentially a gimmick song: it's got a great musical hook and a topic that attracts attention, but i certainly haven't cared to hear it more than a few times.... the tunes tend to be goofy/silly, but, surprisingly, don't grate too much since they're lots o'fun. one thumb. (woj@smoe.org)

The funny, catchy, pop songs are her signature, and well they should be. "Karen By Night" is terrific, while "I Kissed a Girl," "Margaret", and "Good Person Inside" are amongst the wittiest songwriting you'll find. But you shouldn't underestimate her ability to simply write beautiful music. "The Jig is Up" is extraordinarily gorgeous, and songs like "Houdini's Box" and "Resistance Song" proves she's more than a comedienne. (miazgama@pilot.msu.edu)

I'd bought it after seeing the extremely-cute video for "I Kissed a Girl" on MTV. At any rate, I like it! A balance of silly songs and cool songs, nice rhythm and music...a good buy. (cinnamon@one.net)

I found "I Kissed a Girl" to be a fun, bouncy little song that covered the subject matter in a very light, tongue-in-cheek manner. (rishepp@magicnet.net)

This album is fun, but it's a mood album for me, because I have to be in the mood for it or else it doesn't do anything for me. It's uneven, but "I Kissed a Girl" is a classic, and I really enjoy "Trains" and "Good Person Inside." She has warmth and insight, with fun packaging. (JoAnn Whetsell)

A real winner. Sharp, witty, brash and bright, Cyndi Lauper meets Ani Difranco, it brought a smile to my face on a grey Monday morning, and I lent it to someone at work who'd had a dreadful weekend and it cheered her up, as well. This is someone I will definitely be following up on, and again I thank the ecto group for introducing me to her. (adamk@zoom.co.uk)

Comments:

I got this as an impulse buy. Having enjoyed Things Here are Different and how Todd Rungren produced her, I was less than satisfied with this one. Even after many plays at first, it is one of those in the collection that isn't played very often. I still think Jill has lots more pretty darn good music in her, though, and I remain a big fan. (alundra@netos.com)

Not as consistent or witty as her eponymous album, but still has some great moments. I especially liked "Bitter," because Sobule has every right to be so with the lack of support from her record company and still she shuns it. And "When My Ship Comes In" is a riot. (miazgama@pilot.msu.edu)

This CD doesn't break any musical boundaries, but just shamelessly offers a collection of perfectly crafted pop songs. (stuart@sph.emory.edu)

she's SO underappreciated, and happy town was great—poppy tunes and melodies disguising her trademark lyrics imbued with the darker side of things.... (maier@joynet.com.au)

Comments:

after one listen, it seems pretty good. it has production touches that are mildly annoying (a tendency toward the overly cute—the flute was a bit much). it has a couple real stand-out songs, though, instant mix tape consideration fodder: sobule's "heroes" is now my favorite name-checking song since amy rigby's sadly unrecorded "faulkner's maalox." (dmw@mwmw.com)

I'd add that "Heroes" is a great song. My other favorites are "Mexican Wrestler" and "Somewhere in New Mexico." On the first listen, there were songs that I wasn't sure I liked, or I guess I could say the album overall, because I found something a little odd in the music, I don't know how to describe it. But most of the songs don't have those odd (bad) quirks (although they do have Jill's trademark (good) quirkiness). And I guess it's just part of that getting-to-know-an-album phase, because on the second listen, it (whatever it is/was) was much less noticeable. Overall, I think it's a stronger, more even album than the self-titled album (I haven't heard the other 2) but perhaps doesn't have quite as many stand-out tracks. Still, very good, and if you like Jill's other stuff, you'll probably like this too. (JoAnn Whetsell)

it's great. very much a return to form for Jill, after what i thought was a disappointing last album Happy Town. not that Happy Town didn't have a few gems, but on the whole there wasn't as much going on there that drew me in.
     Pink Pearl on the other hand has quite a few gems in it, with the first three songs really drawing me in. included are a few songs she has done in concert like "Lucy at the Gym" (about that girl at the gym you ALWAYS see everytime you go to the gym).
     the album seems more bitter than her previous albums as well (apparently she didn't heed her own songs "Bitter" and her previously penned lyrics "i don't want to become bitter"). but more than just bitter, she sounds a bit broken. and not in a bad way, but in a more melancholic way, as if she realizes that things don't always turn out the way you want them too, but you survive anyway. it's really obvious in the later half of the album, with themes like lost love, unrequited love, and lack of faith running through.
     all in all though it's a good album, that i think i have to listen to more, and pay a little more attention to the lyrics more before i can make any particular judgements.
     i can say that anyone who liked her second album (the one with "I Kissed a Girl") will probably like this one. but it's not quite as quirky, but she keeps her same sense of storytelling, as well as her off-kilter sense of humor throughout. just with another added layer of pathos that wasn't really there before.
     it seems like much more personal album in retrospect. (iflin@speakeasy.net)

I just got it, and I like it. It has her usual quirky lyrics, and the music is well done. I endorse it enthusiastically. (mapravat@prairienet.org)

This is definitely my favorite Jill Sobule album. I haven't been motivated to listen to her other CDs much (though I will always go see her play live), but this one is just so much fun. Her songs are so wry, and the music has a distinctly '60s bubblegum-pop feel that makes me think of old Monkees reruns. "Rainy Day Parade", "Heroes", and "Mary Kay" are the ones that stick in the head the longest, but the whole thing is a lot of fun. (meth@smoe.org)

Sobule's best album ever features more of her trademark mix of wittiness and pathos. Songs like "Somewhere in New Mexico", "Loveless Motel", and "Mexican Wrestler" showcase her ability to create characters that both move and amuse you, while cuts like "Mary Kay" and "Heroes" are just plain hilarious. Few songwriters achieve the sort of peculiar whimsy that Sobule does. (miazgama@pilot.msu.edu)

Comments:

Something in between an odds 'n' sods collection and an album, and quite enjoyable. Four covers (I love her version of Destiny Child's "Survivor"), 3 songs that later appeared on Underdog Victorious, and 6 others in her trademark story-song style ("Sonny Liston" is a particular gem). There are no credits, but it seems a low-key acoustic affair, recorded with guitar, drums, piano, harmonica, trumpet, and background/duet vocals. Maybe a banjo, maybe some other instruments.

Comments:

Jill Sobule seems to get better with each album, and her latest release, Underdog Victorious, just may be her best yet. There's a great blend of folk, pop, and rock, upbeat and down, joy and cynicism, fun with heartache underneath. And it's deliciously retro, referencing The Beatles, Chicago, and other music of the '60s and '70s as much as Jill's earlier albums. This is most obvious on "Cinnamon Park," a remake of "Saturday in the Park" with new lyrics, but it's evident on other songs as well. She still has her trademark storytelling and wry humor, but there's a new maturity too, or a sense that she's grown up and it's not all she'd imagined it would be. On "Freshman" she sings "I live like a freshman/I still have a roommate" and later "You don't have a roommate/You own your own building/You have a flat-screen tv/You never followed your dreams/They're never what they seem."
     This sense of dreams and disappointment pervades Underdog Victorious from the fantasy of "Jetpack" to the reality of the settler-turned-prostitute in "Tel Aviv" and the not-as-great-as-it-seems life of "Joey." It culminates in "Thank Misery" in which she looks back on what might have been. The song ends "If I could go back in a time machine/I wouldn't buy a ticket, well maybe. But I'm so happy now I swear it's true/Thank misery for bringing me to you." (JoAnn Whetsell)

Comments:

Sometimes I think of this soundtrack to the musical theatre piece, Prozak and the Platypus as Jill's "rock album," but there's actually plenty of material that is more traditionally her style of folk. As with any good soundtrack, you can enjoy it without having seen the play, though songs like "Empty Glass" mean more when you consider that the character Prozak's mother committed suicide a year earlier. The accompanying cartoon booklet sheds light on the storyline and includes song lyrics and dialogue that I assume comes from the show. And even though I still don't completely get the story, I enjoy the art. As I enjoy the album. (JoAnn Whetsell)

Comments:

After Jill Sobule received a vintage charm bracelet she found herself wondering about the life of the original owner Dorothy (the name was inscribed in the bracelet). Eleven of the charms were sent to admired writers who sent back lyrics that Jill (mostly with co-writers) set to music. It's a charming record (no pun intended), and I've grown to appreciate it more with repeated and careful listening. Musically, it's very Jill, folky and upbeat and sometimes more tender. The stories are where the album shines, and the writers and Jill clearly share a similar sensibility. A piano becomes a symbol of life's one constant; a stirrup is upended into hatred of horses; a mezuzah is a reminder of home and a mother's death; a plane recalls a last-ditch effort to make a relationship work. Sadly, no one envisioned a particularly happy life for Dottie, and one can only feel better believing that the truth was probably more mundane and less painful.
