Xavier Rudd
"Dark Shades of Blue"
"Dark" it is, musically at least, this message from old Oz. Rudd leans on his slide to great effect, at turns haunting and ragged, bright and filled with hooks arabesque and Jamaican. Are they barbed? That is the question.
Rudd is not afraid to evoke the ancients - Aborigine instruments, choirs of lost languages. It's an ethereal, mesmerizing mix, a hypnotic caustic carnie, burning to your very soul.
Dark Shades of Blue debuts at #5!

"Occasionally I encounter a work that so eloquently describes the human condition that my futile attempts to capture its essence in a review seem almost absurd. This album is one such work.
Xavier Rudd's Dark Shades of Blue (released August 19 on Anti) is an absolute tour de force and unequivocally his most powerful work to date. "

Xavier Rudd @ House of Blues. Rudd is the Dave Matthews of Australia. Or the Jack Johnson of Canada. Or another Paul Simon in South Africa circa Graceland. Otherwise, he’s just some Aussie named Xavier Rudd using a guitar and didgeridoo to play songs about aborigines at the House of Blues.

eGigs.co.uk Review (Oct.2006)
Xavier Rudd’s multi-instrumental setup, which had been concealed beneath a blanket, was finally unveiled like the first public viewing of a new Jaguar Concept car. Rudd’s instruments (and there are a lot of them) are positioned in a circle around him, cocooning him in his own musical haven.
