Lullaby For The Working Class (the name is taken from a Tolstoy essay) is a combo from Lincoln (Nebraska) that combines mandolin, guitar, violin, cello, banjo, pedal steel, piano, hammer dulcimer, glockenspiel, drums, standup bass, and whatever else acoustic instrument to compose fragile, postmodern folk songs that expand on Palace Brothers' melancholy alt-country concept.
Furthermore, the Lullaby displays a bolder rhythmic emphasis that, united to the "open" format, propels energetic and jagged numbers such as Hypnotist, The Sunset & The Electric Bill and Descent.
With Rachel's and Dirty Three, Lullaby are bringing the classical music sensibility to the alternative-rock scene.

 Mayday - Old Blood (Saddle Creek)
Since the final Lullaby for the Working Class album in 1999, Ted Stevens has primarily been a backing player and collaborator with Cursive.
Mayday is his first solo album, however, one could say this is not a solo album at all but rather a reincarnation of Lullaby, as all the members of Lullaby appear on the album.
Lullaby for the Working Class fans will not be entirely disappointed though, as "Cinquefoils" is very reminiscent of that band's more pop moments.

 Lullaby For The Working Class "Song"
In a time when most pop music is, metaphorically speaking, delivered with the speed and depth of e-mail, then Song, the third album from Lullaby For The Working Class, is like a letter that took a long slow journey from America’s heartland to your door.
Lullaby's music is always evolving and on Song they have found their own signature sound.
Lullaby For The Working Class live in Lincoln, Nebraska and record in their own studio, Whoopass, which has become a creative hub for likeminded local musicians and artists from the Lullaby-run label, Saddle Creek.

 REVIEW
Lullaby defies easy categorization - sadgrass is a common appellation, but "sad" misses the mark.
The third part of "The Man vs. the Tide", the closer on their second album, was recorded at the end of a cross-country tour, live on a Pacific Ocean shoreline, while seagulls and planes passed overhead, and waves murmured in the background.
The magical combination of bowed and stringed instruments in the Lullaby live experience is not to be missed.

 NIPP: Artists: Mayday
Mayday is the brainchild of Omaha mainstay Ted Stevens, and while he has put in time in a number of influential acts, this is the one that sees him presenting all his own material in the most personal manner he’s ever attempted.
Stevens began his esteemed career in the brooding chamber pop outfit Lullaby for the Working Class, an act whose trio of late-’90s full-lengths pushed the boundaries of quiet melodic dirges and complex orchestration.
Named after an annual concert that Stevens and his friends threw on the first day of May, Mayday sees the songwriter return to his earlier style of composition, and it also features a number of his Lullaby for the Working Class reprising their earlier roles.

 Lullaby For The Working Class - Song - almost cool music review
Over the past couple of years, Lullaby For The Working Class has put out two full-length albums, as well as quite a few 7" singles.
Although their sound hasn't changed drastically from their first release, it's enough to show that they're moving in some different directions and trying different things, all of which manage to work.
The instrumentation is class as always and as mentioned above, the overall recording sounds better than ever.

Stevens began his esteemed career in the brooding chamber pop outfit Lullaby for the Working Class, an act whose trio of late-'90s albums pushed the boundaries of quiet melodic dirges and complex orchestration.
Fitting that it also featured a some of his Lullaby for the Working Class bandmates.
A mix of the lilting and quiet sounds of Lullaby and detours into Spanish flavored guitar workouts and sea shantey themes, the disc was clearly a release for years of Stevens original material that had been gathering in the vaults.

 TrouserPress.com :: Lullaby for the Working Class
One of the leading bands from this realm was undoubtedly Lincoln's Lullaby for the Working Class, a quiet, unassuming collective more influenced by Nashville Skyline than Blonde on Blonde.
Over the course of five years and three albums, they made a habit of both delighting and confusing critics, record store owners and others in the know who frequently mistake their ignorance for others' genius.
The trademark of Lullaby's aesthetic was, from the start, the reserved, eccentric songwriting of vocalist Ted Stevens, whose lyrics — from archaic to indecipherable — strove to capture emotions more complex than the sexual frustration of the long-haired, torn-jeans crowd, or at least to express it in a more sophisticated fashion.

 Saddle Creek Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
There is no explanation why this isn't another Lullaby for the Working Class album, but fans of that band will definitely not be disappointed here.
The style is similar to Lullaby, but I get more of a traditional folk feel to these songs, not obvious but present in the underlying structure.
Soft and dreamy, "I Know Moonlight" is the lullaby of the album, while "Confession" is something of a lounge meets bossa nova feel, the kind of thing you'd expect dancers to be swaying and tapping castanets to.

The final offering from Ted Stevens ' Lullaby for the Working Class is their most pensive and orchestral disc, but also their most beautiful.
From the gorgeously lilting opener, "Expand, Contract," to other lengthy but enlightening numbers like "Seizure," Lullaby for the Working Class are the predecessors to the slowcore movement and orchestral pop acts that followed a few years later, and this is their epic offering and inspiration.

The first time I heard their recordings, I was immediately reminded of early- to mid-period Lullaby for the Working Class in the sense that they carry the rustic sound very well.
This includes such unique instruments as violins, banjos, trumpets, mandolins, cellos, and accordions in addition to all the usual instruments we've come to expect with the exception of drums and percussion.
Again, I'm reminded of Lullaby for the Working Class material, which isn't a bad thing at all since I really enjoyed that group.

Lullaby for the Working Class hails from Nebraska and combines the '90s chamber pop sounds of Lambchop and Tindersticks and the country-rock stylings of Gram Parsons.
To make the band complete, AJ Mogis (bass) and Shane Aspegren (drums) joined Lullaby for the Working Class and shortly thereafter the band inked a deal with Bar-None Records while making themselves noticed at various gigs in and around N.Y.C., specifically at the CMJ Music Festival.
Their 1996 debut Blanket Warm was critically acclaimed, making ways for fellow Nebraska bands (Commander Venus, Norman Baylor, We'd Rather Be Flying) to venture outside the cornhusker state.

 Dearest, Crown
Imagine Lullaby For the Working Class doing Tom Petty songs and you may understand what I'm going on about.
Taking a sound similar to early REM or Angelo Badliametti's score work for The Straight Story, and fusing it with cosmic mysticism akin to recent work from The Flaming Lips, on their newest record A Single Star, Bigger than the Universe makes Dearest, Crown a rewarding band ready for discovery.
Obviously, you have to be in a certain mood to listen to A Single Star, and be relatively awake and alert to fully appreciate the intricacies of its music and lyrics, but it's a rewarding jaunt if you're willing to take it.

 John Connolly: Bestselling Author
Lullaby for the Working Class's "Good Morning" could almost be Parker's theme tune, and Kate Bush's "Ne T'En Fuis Pas" effectively soundtracks, for me, the moment when Parker and Rachel first make love in Every Dead Thing.
I'm immensely grateful to all of them for allowing me to use their music, and for the way in which their work has enriched both my own writing, and my life.
It may also be that, in his painstaking approach to making albums, and the sense of painstaking layering that I get from his songs, I feel that I've found a kindred spirit.

With half the band saying farewell, then joining The Farewell Bend, the drummer continued trying to live a musical Boys Life by literally bringing in a Boilermaker, that is, a musician from that band who called himself Terin.
Anderson's next career move could be be literally interpreted as a statement of maturity, as he moved from the now dead Boys Life to Lullaby For The Working Class.
This was a group that originated in Lincoln, Nebraska about a year after Boys Life was originally formed, based around a nucleus of multi-instrumentalist Mike Mogis and his guitar strumming and songwriting pal Ted Stevens.
