A great new collection of fun love songs from unique and innovative perspectives with new twists on highly romantic and titillating themes, paying homage to sixties groups like The Beatles, The Kinks and The Lovin' Spoonful.
JEFF ROOT: Toadstool of the Realm
Fantastic! - Martin Olson (TV Writer/Songwriter/Producer - Disney's Phineas & Ferb, Spongebob Squarepants, Rocko's Modern Life, Penn & Teller's Sin City Spectacular)
JEFF ROOT: Kerouac King Kong
A real, blast of creativity! Lots of fine tunes! I especially enjoyed FUBAR, Christ-like and Do You Believe. The sense of humor really comes across in tunes like Pimple of Talent, Misanthropia. Altogether this is an impressive offering! Drums, guitars and bass were all well-arranged and played. I particularly enjoyed Zack Root’s bass parts - very inventive. A really professional job! - Wayne Wadhams (Record Producer, Songwriter, Artist - Fifth Estate, D-Men, Studio Musician - Lovin' Spoonful)
JEFF ROOT: Angst Cretin
"Angst Cretin" Jeff Root's latest CD takes you on a magic carpet ride of lyrical playfulness and straight-ahead rock sensibility that is both electric and eclectic, but also uncompromisingly original...all without losing Jeff's uncanny sense of fun. Go...buy it! - John Schlindler (Singer-Songwriter, Winner of 2003 Boston Folk Festival Songwriting Contest)
BONGO POETS: Ordinary Guise
Full of robotic, folk-funk and East Coast wit, their post-barbershop Indie Rock makes them sound like the bastard sons of the Fugs. – Eric Shea - Listen.com
JEFF ROOT: The Spirit Of '67
Jeff's music might best be described as an inspired update of 60's groups like The Kinks and The Lovin' Spoonful with a little Beck, Cake, Waits and Dylan mixed in.
COOL NEW REVIEW FROM THE NOISE!! -
JEFF ROOT -
Root Cellar Records -
"The Secrets of Love" -
12-song CD -
There are lots of good songs to be mined from Mr. Root’s repertoire, though sometimes he reminds me of what my college ethnomusicology professor once said about Stevie Wonder: “Ah, yes—our young friend who writes so much.” Root’s songwriting is often in the tradition (though not at the level of accomplishment of) Bob Dylan and Randy Newman and Warren Zevon—albeit at their most mordacious. And he is not the most technically accomplished singer. A trouper, yes. A satirist, betimes. Sardonic, yet with a heart to care. Sure enough, on his latest project he casts about, sniping at various targets and indulging in his usual hooliganistic genre clowning: his self-announced “All I Want To Do” Beatles rip-off “The Heart of You” is actually a pretty neat song in its own right, and the novelty sludge-metal tribute “Like a Zombie” is good for a cheap laugh. Root alternates his gallery of the whimsical and the grotesque with some high-quality love songs such as “Across the Teak Parquet.” But there are, inevitably, in such a scattershot approach, some missteps: The reggae-fied track “Failure Is Freedom” is only tolerable; the title track is more than a bit treacly; and the metal-rap take-off “Snap, Crackle, Pop” initially seems too facile, though the alternating Chipmunks-homage sections are irresistable. However, his closing confection, “My Latest Masterpiece” puts me in mind one of those wide-awake goofs like Zal Yanovsky’s “As Long As You’re Here,” or the Kinks’ “People Take Pictures,” or even the Monkees’ almost goony “D.W. Washburn.” Great stuff, and well worth the price of admission all by itself. (Francis DiMenno)

If I’m in the top 4 I get to play a showcase for record executives and could win 100 free hours in the studio.
