The Mysterious Production Of Eggs (CD)
The recording sessions for Eggs saw Bird scrap the album three times and travel between studios in Chicago, Los Angeles and his own home studio on a farm in Northern Illinois. The album took final shape with the production help of David Boucher whose credits include Randy Newman and Paul Westerberg. The record deals with nothing less than the mysteries of childhood, creativity and modern science - epic in scope and minute in detail. It is accompanied by artwork and illustrations for every song by accomplished Chicago based artist Jay Ryan.

| This is the only album from 2005 that I will give an A+, simply because it was my favorite album of 2005. It didn't take multiple listens to fall in love with this album; I liked it from the start (and that's with no previous exposure to Andrew Bird). Buy this album for the excellent song writing, Bird's strong yet soothing voice, the violin capable of so many sorrowful or joyful notes, or the surprisingly catchy whistling. Just buy it, listen to it, and tell your friends. Andrew Bird deserves to be heard. | |
