5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best alternative albums I own

I bought this after buying Black's "Birmingham Road" LP. Though this isn't as good as "Birmingham," it's a fantastic album with GREAT music! I recommend "Sunday Best," "Gold Heart Locket," and "Same Old River" among others. It's mostly acoustic featuring some fantastic guitar riffs and piano tunes. Perfect driving music and also great to listen to during a rain storm, or just an afternoon of relaxation. I recommend buying this album!

I stumbled upon Jeff Black one day at Borders(sorry, Amazon) and was immediately drawn to a description of Black as a cross between Springsteen and Townes Van Zandt. There's a little Neil Young in there, too, with the terrific closer, Higher Ground. This is an excellent record that is always top-of-mind when selecting rotations for my home CD player.

Great music, but amazon packaging not so good. Every cd case in order was broken to some degree. Very disappointing.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best of the last decade -- yes, that's right
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2004
Jeff Black is yet another songwriter whose career was sidetracked by record-company foolishness. After Arista released his superb debut, "Birmingham Road," in 1998 (with help from some of the guys in Wilco), the label dropped him, leaving his followup disc orphaned (it's due for release later this year, finally).
In the meantime, he's released "B-Sides and Confessions Volume One," an intimate, soulful and thoughtful collection of stripped-down music.
As noted, the title is only half right. These are confessions, but they are not B sides. Black is a rarity, a poet who produces quietly compelling sing-alongs that, upon closer reflection, challenge you to think. No wonder artists as diverse as Ellis Paul and Vance Gilbert, who recorded his "What Do I Want" for their latest disc, and country stars Blackhawk, who made his "That's Just About Right"a number one hit, have covered his songs.
But none of them have Black's most appealing asset: his soulful, experienced voice with enough of Tom Waits' grit to establish credibility. That voice and his songs combine to make this a disc that demands you hit "repeat all" on the player when loading.
Black has a knack for choosing just the right instrument to frame his words. His breathy count off and acoustic strumming open "Same Old River," a song that finds Black imagining himself as, variously, an indian, a pirate, slave and an outlaw. "I'd rob a trian bound for glory, baby, if I thought I needed a ride." he sings in outlaw mode.
"Sunday Best," a heartbreakingly beautiful song about loss, opens with Black at the piano. "To Be with You," a mature, honest love song, marries Jody Nardone's piano and Craig Wright's shuffle. "Down in my evening chair, I've got you there to pilot me straight through to show me what it means to be with you," Black sings. "Gold Heart Locket" surprises with a banjo for its backbone (think something out of the Mark Knopfler catalog). And "Bless My Soul" returns to fingerpicking to highlight Black's ruminations.
With "B Sides and Confessions, Volume One," Black has created one of the most affecting -- and best -- singer/songwriter albums of 2003 or any other year in recent memory. It's filled with rare treasures that linger long after the music stops.
If you can, pick up "Honey and Salt" from his website. It features several more stunning songs, including "One Last Day to Live" and the title track.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intimate and Hauntingly Beautiful
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2011
We bought this CD directly from Jeff at a house concert. Intimate venue and we got a chance to chat with Jeff, who seems very sweet. We love this CD. It's in our 6 CD changer in the car and it's been a couple of years I think, and we've never taking it out. The other CD's get rotated out, but we love listening to this one over and over again. We absolutely love Gold Heart Locket - a.k.a. - the banjo song; Track 6 gets played twice every time we play the CD. What a haunting and beautiful song!

5.0 out of 5 stars b-sides and confessions: volume 1
Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2003
OUTSTANDING ALBUM FROM THIS UNDERRATED ARTIST. I FIRST BOUGHT JEFF'S BIRMINGHAM ROAD ALBUM SIMPLY BECAUSE KEN COOMER (UNCLE TUPELO, WILCO, ETC) WAS PLAYING ON IT. LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT I WAS FINDING A HAUNTTING VOICE THAT MADE EVERYTHING ELSE DISAPPEAR. I THEN RECIEVED B-SIDES ART A SHOW IN WINSTON-SALEM N.C. WHERE HE WAS DOING A SHOW ON HALLOWEEN 2001.WHEN I FOUND OUT HE WAS PLAYING I DROVE 3 HOURS UNSURE IF I WOULD EVEN GET A TICKET, SURE THAT HE WOULD BE SOLD OUT. WHILE I WAS LOOKING FOR THE BAR (ZIGGYS) I PULLED ALONG SIDE A COUPLE OF GUYS STANDDING ON THE SIDE WALK TO ASK DIRECTIONS, FOUND OUT I WAS IN FRONT OF THE CLUB, AND ASKED 2 SIMPLE QUESTIONS IS JEFF STILL PLAYING AND IS IT SOLD OUT. THE GUY ON THE RIGHT TURNED HIS AND SAID " ARE YOU STILL PLAYING TONIGHT, AND DO YOU THINK THERE IS ROOM FOR ONE MORE?" LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT ONLY 20 TICKETS WERE SOLD.
B-SIDES IS A STRIPPED DOWN, NO FRILLS ALBUM THAT WILL TOUCH YOUR HEARRT AND MAKE YOU CRY. JEFF TELLS A STORY OF A SIMPLE LIFE AND TRIALS THAT EVREYONE GOES THROUGH. IN AN AGE WHERE MANY SO CALLED ARTISTS ENHANCE THEIR VOICES OR ARE TO BUSY TRYING TO MAKE THEIR CROSS OVER HIT JEFF'S VOICE IS MORE POWERFULL LIVE THEN ON DISC. I JUST WISH THAT HE WOULD RELEASE MORE ON VINYL. BUY THIS ALBUM NOW AND BUY BIRMINGHAM ROAD. YOU WILL HAVE TO BUY BIRMINGHAM RD. USED BECAUSE ARISTA DUMPPED HIM AND DESTROYED THE MASTERS.HE ALSO HAS A NEW ALBUM CALLED HONEY AND SALT ON BLUE ROSE RECORDS OUT OF GERMANY. I HIGHLY RECOMMED THIS ONE AS WELL. KEEP PLAYING JEFF.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stripped Down Sound
Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2003
"B Sides and Confessions" is a very appropriate title for Jeff Black's latest album, for depite being a collection of new material, it has the bare, stripped down feel more often associated with demo recordings. That doesn't mean, however, that it isn't any good. In fact, Black may well be one of the best artists walking the singer-songwriter beat these days. The accoustic sound suits his voice and his style very well.
The highlights on the album include the sweet "To Be With You," the catchy "Gold Heart Lockett," the angry rant "Bastard" and the lengthy closer "Higher Ground." The album is short only an additional catchy hook or two of being in true five star territory. Otherwise, it ranks with Patty Griffin's "1000 Kisses" as one of the best singer-songwriter albums of this past year.

War vom ersten Hören an vom Album begeistert.
Minimalistische Begleitung, meist nur mit Akustikgitarre oder Klavier. Eindrucksvolle Stimme, mal was ganz anderes. Auch die Lyrics gefallen mir sehr gut. Man hört sich auch auf Dauer nicht satt, ganz im Gegenteil.
