Pandora's Box Review
***1/2 (Three and 1/2 stars)
'These nine musicians, offering all original tunes on their fifth album, might be
graduates of Ken Kesey's Acid Tests of the mid-'60s who have been transported
across time to the present. Along the way, they picked up influences ranging
from globalists Paul Horn and Oregon to adventurous rock bands It's A Beautiful
Day and Joy of Cooking to Ken Nordine's word-jazz.
Keeping listeners off guard, the Denver-based Coyote Poets loosely fit the
contemporary jam-band mold even as "Blood and Bones" and "Quittin' Time"
rumble with a blues heft unattainable to many conventional blues bands.'
