* * * * 1/2
After a three-year wait, one left released their 1999 album Foreign Country. This album has a stronger presence and focus, with each song aimed toward a regional musical style. A couple of the songs have a Spanish or flamenco flavor, with fine examples of this style found on "Holy Land" and "Los Bonitas Senoritas," which have very danceable beats layered with some heavy guitar riffs. On the knee-slapping "Girl From Memphis," one left takes a wide spin to the country style, showing how much talent and originality can be found in this band. There are nice production touches throughout the album: the standout "Show Me a Night" adds cello and keyboards, and "Slide Back" has some fantastically melodic slide guitar. Overall, the album gives the listener a full spectrum of fine '90s pop/rock. Riley McMahon has some hot chops and amazing riffs in his guitar vocabulary that will serve to educate and entertain many a guitarist. In Rick Rowland's vocals the listener will find some young Dylan-esque qualities, thereby giving one left a sound comparable to the Wallflowers. Percussionist Sven Abow is a virtual metronome, and bassist Eric Liefert brings not only the sound of the electric bass, but can also play standup and bowed bass. one left has put together a great album in Foreign Country, and it is well worth the cost for so much fine music.

All of that!
author: PaulGreat music. I love this CD!
COOL!
author: RhondaTurn it up way loud and watch your feet start to move! Original classic rock, how cool is that!
Thumbs UP!
author: SharonThis record has it all; rock, ballads, intelligent words, pop, country (from all over the darn place!) I saw these guys a few years back and just got an email about the new CD. I'd pretty much figured they were the one CD and you're out typical band but I'm glad they're still around cause they rock live! A truly unique CD.
Rock, pop and roll...
author: Bill HarmonEvery listen takes me somewhere new and to another part of the world. I just fantasize about the experiences behind these songs. I want to buy Isabella a coffee at some Paris cafe. Go to Cortona and climb those streets. Dance back and forth with those bonitas senoritas. Come home and get me a girl from Memphis. This is a great CD!
Great CD!
author: CathyI don't normally listen to this kind of music but I got a copy of the CD from a friend and I fell in love with it! Isabella is my favorite! If you have never heard anything from this group, you have to check it out!
WHOA!
author: Stan RoemerWhere did this come from? Rock/pop with ORIGINAL melodies? Unheard of! I love this thing. The guitarist is unbelievable and rythym is tight tight tight! Now if the guy could only sing... GREAT GREAT STUFF!!
