	Vashti Bunyan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Despite the failure of her album at the time, her influence over a new generation of folk artists, such as Devendra Banhart and Joanna Newsom, kept her music alive.
		In the late nineties, Banhart wrote to her asking for her advice on whether to continue with music to which she replied, beginning her connection with many of the contemporary performers who cite her work.
		The album was produced by composer Max Richter and featured many of her contemporary followers including Banhart, Newsom, Adem, Kevin Barker of Currituck Co, Otto Hauser of Espers and Adam Pierce of Mice Parade.

	Devendra Banhart: Rejoicing In The Hands (2004): Reviews
		Banhart is a complete antidote to all the consumer focus groups or hit-writers, too scared to tamper with the formula.
		Banhart ceaselessly entrances with his brilliant combination of John Fahey-esque pickings, absurd and sometimes profoundly resonating lyrics and the craft to convey both kinds with equal candor.
		Banhart is a rockcrit bandwagon right now, but his sub-par evocation of early Marc Bolan doesn't produce much in the way of memorable songs: I expect the rockcrits will be on to the next flavor of the month by the time Banhart releases another album.

	Devendra Banhart Album Reviews
		Rejoicing in the Hands by 23-year-old Devendra Banhart is probably the most perplexing singer-songwriter album I have heard in a long, long while (as such, it also makes a belated entrance into my list of favorite albums released in 2004).
		Many of his colleagues wallow too much in their own neologisms and smart-ass lyrics, but Banhart's striking lyrical imagery (which often seems random, indeed) is delivered with a sincerity that's simply to captivating to be considered a trick.
		devendra banhart is an amazing songwriter and should be appreciated more forget pete doherty people should take a look at devendras lyrics, I have been amazed by his albums and waiting to buy his new one "crippled Crow".

	Devendra Banhart: Nino Rojo - PopMatters Music Review
		Devendra Banhart is a worldly guy and recorded tons of songs on various lo-fi machines, including an answering machine.
		The pictures Devendra invokes in the listener's mind are always near-disturbing, but so completely childlike and innocent, it really does bring to mind thoughts of children making up songs as they will during play, and singing whatever silly stories come to mind and just reveling in that.
		Banhart, like Jandek, is undoubtedly one of the few truly original and captivating popular musical artists in the States these days.

	*Sixeyes MP3 Blog: Interview :: Devendra Banhart
		Devendra Banhart is a young man who comes to us from Texas by way of Caracas, Venezuela.
		Banhart is far from the mainstream current, you'll find him floating on his back in a tiny, rocky stream, slipping over the rocks like a long slender leaf; a verdant green in the steely blue water.
		Devendra: The difference was that even though there were definite themes and actual songs pre-written upon entering the studio, the whole things feels like a strange by-product of being in the Bearsville woods surrounded by our family [*six: Bearsville, NY, where Cripple Crow was recorded].

		Banhart went to great lengths to enshroud himself with some of his most talented friends: Adam Forkner of White Rainbow, Andy Cabic of Vetiver, the free-folk band Feathers, and producer Thom Monahan among them.
		Devendra exploded on the international music scene three years ago, quickly accumulating devoted fans as well as an unusually hefty amount of critical kudos with his debut and subsequent releases.
		Banhart's mature musical vision is, specially considering how young he is and how adventurous he remains when it comes to writing new songs, nothing less than remarkable.

	Waterloo Records - Devendra Banhart : Rejoicing In The Hands
		Acclaimed eccentric singer/songwriter Devendra Banhart takes a step out of the lo-fi basement and into the hi-fi living room for this critically lauded album.
		During a span of only 10 days, Banhart recorded more than 30 songs (co-produced by former Swans leader Michael Gira) that were subsequently divided between this record and its companion disc, NINO ROJO.
		Banhart's deft acoustic guitar finger-picking and vocal warbling show the influence of country blues masters like Blind Willie McTell and Skip James, while another of his idols, reclusive 1970s folk icon Vashti Bunyan, appears on the title track.

		Devendra Banhart exploded on the international music scene 3 years ago quickly winning a coterie of devoted fans as well as an unusually hefty amount of critical kudos.
		That Banhart's talent is remarkable will not be news to anyone who's listened to him already, what has not ceased to amaze me is how mature his musical vision is, specially considering how young he is and how adventurous he remains when it comes to writing new songs.
		Devendra showed signs of expanding his range on its predecessor Nino Rojo with the shambling rock shanty romp of Be Kind and the kazoo freak-out that closed We All Know.

		Add on top of that the previously mentioned tidbit that Banhart put these (57) tracks onto tape during the same ten-day session and the similarity of the two discs is to be expected.
		Both recordings are sparse and bear a timeless air, showcasing Banhart’s arresting vocals – be they hushed or closer to teeth on a chalkboard; they grab a hold and push you up against the nearest wall for a welcome frisking.
		Banhart creates original, individual music - eccentric, mystical, calming, disturbing… just perfect for the hipster willing to display his hipster cred with what is perceived as un-hip music.

	Devendra Banhart : Niño Rojo - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		His unaffected aesthetic is etched in the ether of mysterious traditional and psychedelic folk musics from the British Isle and in an America that disappeared the first time in the '30s with the Dust Bowl and for the second time in the grimness of mid-'70s determinism in the shadows of post-Vietnam shame and malaise.
		Banhart's songs don't hearken back so much as remind us of what we no longer possess as a culture.
		For Banhart, writing a song is one discovery -- give a listen to "At the Hop" written with Andy Cabic with its bright, canny, gorgeously impure love poetry -- and recording is another.

	Devendra Banhart: Cripple Crow: Pitchfork Record Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Banhart's fourth album isn't a compilation, nor is it billed as a group project, but he's assembled such a rich cast of cohorts here, it feels more like the fruit of community interaction than the product of a lone singer/songwriter.
		The communal vibe is hinted at by the album's artwork: Rather than adorning the cover with his usual calligraphic scribbles, Banhart offers a composite photo of "The Family" (a term he often ascribes to his musical friends), gathered beneath a large knotty tree and accompanied by the disembodied heads of smiling spirits.
		Banhart's ambition is apparent throughout, but at 22 tracks and almost 75 minutes, the album does stretch its legs too long.

	Devendra Banhart: Cripple Crow (2005): Reviews
		It feels exactly like the kind of album Devendra Banhart ought to have playing in his head -- a cacophony of cool sounds, a plethora of contradictory ideas, a patchwork quilt of psychedelically bright colors.
		Banhart's pleas for peace and harmony have a guileless charm, and in "When They Come" they assume an epic urgency.
		Banhart's talent, and sometimes "Cripple Crow" makes of him what some people perhaps want him to be: a simulacrum of an obscure 1960's musician, a maker of albums that were so rare they never existed.

		The disc is Banhart's first foray from Michael Gira's Young God label, and it's more adventurous than anything he's done before.
		There are also five songs in Spanish, Banhart's native tongue, in a style that's a cross between flamenco and son.
		In it, Banhart places a new generation in the firing line, and urges them to resist not with violence, but with pacifistic refusal.

		Pop-folk phenomenon Devendra Banhart crafts delightfully eccentric music with a quivering voice that's at once childlike and inviting.
		Besides, his songwriting and his guitar playing (in my opinion) have taken such leaps and bounds forward, that we were compelled to record them in a way that made it possible to really hear the performances clearly.
		Devendra sat on his stool in that living room for 10 days, 12 hours a day, and played, constantly.

		Banhart gives himself so wholly and so without artifice or posture, that even the most jaded of listeners can't help but be awed.
		Devendra pleads to be put in the subject's suitcase, so he'll never be apart from his companion...After yet another brilliant release from Devendra Banhart, we share his sentiment, hoping the talented singer-songwriter continues to take us along on his journey as one of the more memorable musicians of our time.
		Banhart's voice is as shaky as his songs' connection to everyday reality.

		The songs were recorded on various borrowed and usually broken 4-track cassette recorders by Banhart himself in various haphazard locations around the globe.
		Banhart sat on a stool in that living room for ten days, twelve hours per, playing constantly, sometimes with a chorus of cicadas when they recorded at night with open windows.
		Devendra Banhart is so amazingly magical, unique, and genuine that people just gravitate naturally to his music; best friends' grandmothers relate to it, hard-ass experimentalists enthuse about it, even country/bluegrass purists recognize the man's talents.

	* Dusted Reviews - Devendra Banhart *
		Devendra Banhart apparently doesn’t believe in time off: less than a year after the release of Nino Rojo, the second of his two full-length releases in 2004, the prolific troubadour is back with the 22-song, 74-minute Cripple Crow.
		Whereas Banhart’s past three albums were essentially one-man shows, relying primarily on acoustic guitar and vocals, Crow works with a considerably broader palette: only two of the album’s 22 tracks are solo acoustic performances, and full band arrangements take priority.
		This isn’t to say that Banhart has abandoned his own style to slavishly imitate others; rather, he tries on a multiplicity of voices here, marking a sharp contrast to his relatively homogeneous earlier work.

		The show started with Devendra picking away at his guitar, trailing off mid-way through the first phrase, blaming the sound people for the interruption.

	Live Review: Magnolia Electric Co. / Devendra Banhart
		Banhart has become a new Messiah and his joyous message, hippie image and cosmic mumbo jumbo seem to attract a shitload of young people that would love being a member of a commune or community of beatniks, Freaks or something like that.
		Even though the majority of the audience definitely seemed to be into this happening-like atmosphere, the childish enthusiasm of those around me, as well as Banhart's animated performance caused me to feel ill at ease, so I left.
		Which is too bad, because reportedly I missed more crowd chants, dancing, kissing and hugging on stage, as well as Banhart waltzing with a huge stuffed animal.
