Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

After six albums on which he constantly moved back and forth between classic folk and country traditions, Joe Henry really hit his artistic stride on the brilliant Trampoline. While the album finds him occasionally drifting toward both of those familiar modes, Trampoline also introduces us to Joe Henry, the pop-rock experimentalist. From the exotic guitar strum that opens the album on "Bob and Ray," through a feedback-drenched cover of a Sly Stone obscurity ("Let Me Have It All"), to the dark funeral organ that drives the Blue Oyster Cult-ish "Medicine," to a track featuring a female opera singer ("Flower Girl"), the album allows Henry to use all sorts of musical eccentricities. This certainly both confused and delighted longtime fans, and set the stage for Fuse and the future. Lyrically, Henry seems to be in a pretty dark place--might or might not be about the end of a relationship. And "Flower Girl" may be the most beautiful song Henry's ever written. You could compare Trampoline to that moment when Tom Waits moved from the more traditional sound of his early albums to the Beefheartish experimentations of Swordfishtrombones and Rain Dogs--that's how great both the change and growth appear to be here. --Bill Holdship

5.0 out of 5 stars After two years this album is still in regular circulation
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2002
Joe Henry doesn't have a formula. He takes risks. These songs are beautiul and complete. His hooks are strong and need to be because he'll take you down unexpected avenues. Open you ears and he'll be a teacher for you. In the first song he uses the phrase "about Bob and Ray" and it carries as much rhythem as meaning. He reminds us that music is abstract while offering a lovely door to walk through. Joe does a lot of thinking and he wants you to do that too. There are so many layers the feel is bitter sweet. This conquers any room. I heart Joe!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not just any old joe
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2003
This was the album where Joe Henry suddenly veered away from the faceless but competent country-rock of his earlier albums and plunged headfirst into capital "A" art. The printed lyrics read like poetry, and the instrumental backing inches ever closer to the supple jazz leanings of his future releases. Guest guitarist Page Hamilton (of Helmet) supplies gently rocking support on the epic mystery of "Ohio Air Show Plane Crash" as well as surprisingly muscular funk on a cover of Sly Stone's "Let Me Have It All", but the remainder of "Trampoline" could almost be termed folk cabaret. The atmosphere throughout is one of almost crushing regret.

5.0 out of 5 stars MESMERIZING!!
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2000
This collection is so well crafted I find it completely mesmerizing - the songs draw you in deeper and deeper. This album is a break from Henry's previous alt-country, acoustic-folk cd's (all great). It rocks in a haunting, mystical way with great use of drums, electric guitar, and effects. Henry's voice and lyrics too keep you hanging on every phrase. This cd takes you places....... Fantastic.

4.0 out of 5 stars Joe's best stuff
Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2001
Operating for years on the roots rock/folk circuit, Joe Henry didn't just change his sound for this release. He effectively changed the direction he would take on subsequent releases, in effect starting over. While his prior CDs were good and garnered much critical acclaim, there was nothing to prepare the listener for this. I am no die-hard Joe Henry fan, (Scar and Fuse leave me cold) but there is no doubting the brilliance of Trampoline. Every song is impressive, like a greatest hits album of new material. Guest guitarist Page Hamilton from Helmet was a wise choice. Hard to pick highlights here, but two songs that harken back to Joe's country/folk days, "Go With God" and "Parade" are among the best things he has recorded.
