		In Shivaree, LA-area guitarist/bassist Duke McVinnie, keyboardist Danny McGough (from Tom Waits' touring band) and the improbably but wondrously named vocalist Ambrosia Parsley stake out ground somewhere between the Cowboy Junkies and Sparklehorse — moody, moderately psychedelic, sometimes spooky Americana music with strong, distinctive female vocals.
		With Parsley's megawatt charisma, Shivaree should've been set; instead they were basically shot in the head by their label.
		Rough Dreams, Shivaree's second longplayer, fell into that phantom dimension in which albums are recorded, release dates announced, advertising space bought, promotional interviews and features published, reviews printed (almost always positive to downright glowing, which makes the phenomenon even odder) then never released.

		I've listened to the Shivaree album a few times, and felt it a little too scattered--the only song on it that I think demands to be listened to is "Goodnight Moon"--definitely one of the best songs of the past year.
		Shivaree is back with another group of songs with eclectic influences--all the same ones from their first album, more electric, and some electronica too.
		The new style is a combination of the best elements of their two previous releases, a return to the eclectic can't-quite-pin-it-down bluesy country-rock of I Oughtta Give You a Shot in the Head...

		At times, it seems as if one could hear the rush of air passing through her vocal cords and her throat as she plies her warm cresting and falling melodies around the band’s arrangements, breathing her way through songs that create a distinct, gently psychedelic mood.
		Shivaree nail the mystery in Brian Eno’s perverse tale of intrigue "The Fat Lady of Limbourg," which Parsley sings as if its words were peanut-butter taffy and she’d just polished off a martini.
		Their semi-acoustic endeavors are full of unexpected ticks like the "sprong" of an amp’s reverb box being kicked, bells that suddenly ring in the mix, or sudden downrushes on a baritone guitar.

	Shivaree: Breach EP: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Shivaree's 1999 debut, I Oughtta Give You a Shot in the Head for Making Me Live in This Dump, served up a bolt of spooked Americana full of eclectic sounds and randy songs about spankings and cannibals.
		One of those is a cover of Brian Eno's "The Fat Lady of Limbourg", which Shivaree translates into a covert ops blues strut, driven by Danny McGough's chugging organ.
		As Shivaree provide credible C&W backing, he and Parsley sing about a fateful hospital stay and their voices blend perfectly as they rhyme "goosies" with "moosies" without sounding cutesy.

		Shivaree returned with Rough Dreams, which bowed on Capitol in September 2002.

	Being There
		This...” she said, her arms outstretched to the audience, “…is much better.” Parsley was referring to a May 2000 performance at the Horseshoe Tavern, where the lack of attendance was merely an extension of the lack of momentum surrounding their 1999 debut.
		Her hands are tucked away in her pockets as she sings, eyes closed, though occasionally her hands break free and her eyes become shifty as she becomes immersed in the grooves of the music.
		The name “Shivaree” comes from the French word charivari, which can roughly be defined as “a noisy mock serenade for newlyweds.” At times, that sounds about right, although it is never a nuisance to listen to the great music that Shivaree makes.

		Given her choice of seats in a nearly-empty sandwich shop, Ambrosia Parsley -- lead singer/songwriter of the country-tinged trio Shivaree -- parks her lanky, gorgeous frame at the bar, in front of a TV tuned to the Home Shopping Network.
		In person, the 28-year-old Parsley's actually not unlike Shivaree's music: Spend enough time with either of them and you realize that all the endearing and seductive weirdness is genuine.
		Shivaree's core sound -- part spooky Appalachian dirge, part waltz, dressed up with country grrrl lyrics about sleeping with your guns and working for the devil -- is all Parsley.

		Though the American alternative country scene has provided a disproportionate number of reasons to believe that American rock, after grunge, is not completely dead in the water, it can also become hidebound by its adherence to the traditions it was founded on.
		Shivaree are a three-piece revolving around the singing and songwriting of the truly fantastically named Ambrosia Parsley, who clearly thinks as highly of Jane Siberry and Mary Margaret O'Hara as she ever did of Patsy Cline or Margo Timmins.
		Having been told that Shivaree were a like a mixture of Catatonia, Morcheeba and countless other female artists, I thought it was worth a shot.

		Shivaree's quaintly titled debut, I Oughtta Give You a Shot in the Head for Making Me Live in This Dump, offered a respectable run through self-deprecating Americana.
		Shivaree travels across the musical landscape like vagabonds on an epic journey, effortlessly creating charming waltzes, big ballads, indie rock, tangoes, and club jazz.
		I first found Shivaree by accident when they were playing at student unions in London, and I have yet to find anyone in the US familiar with the band.

	Shivaree: Who's Got Trouble? - PopMatters Music Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Though occasionally compared to Tom Waits, Shivaree shares none of his predilection for aggressive, junkyard instrumentation; it never risks that kind of listener alienation.
		Seemingly inspired by film scores, Shivaree's music is cinematic in that it deflects attention away from itself, and it cries out for a visual context to complement.
		But your imagination is left to its own devices, and one's forced to become cinematographer for the scripts these songs tend to be, and that effort severely inhibits one's ability to empathize, simply experience the songs directly and inhabit their drama.

		Shivaree's Ambrosia Parsley got her start singing with a 99-piece senior citizen banjo band when she was seven.
		Parsley, who was born in Reseda, California (but her family has roots in rural West Virginia), hasn't been the same since.
		For the live shows, Shivaree has expanded to include drummer George Javori and bassist Sheldon Gomberg, who undoubtedly will give songs such as the moody "Goodnight Moon" and "I Don't Care" the rich texture they require to work in a live setting.

	'Shivaree'
		Shivaree may have some cool instrumentation (damn, who don't love a good banjo?), but the group owes most of its appeal to its singer and songwriter, Ambrosia Parsley.
		However, there are a couple clunkers on which the band forgets that "haunting" does not have to mean "comatose" ("Lost in a Dream" and "Baby Girls" are good for sleeping to, but not much else).
		Shivaree could be a little pluckier or more musically adventurous, but its atmospheric twang should be a refreshing and comfortable listen for any fans of jazzy, soundtrack-ready alt-country.

	Value judgment suggests good things to come for Shivaree - [Sunday Herald]
		Admittedly, she’d been getting a lot of weight from both of those top-class colts but thanks to apprentice Amy Kathleen Parsons taking off 7lbs at Hamilton, she was getting plenty of weight again and looked to have excellent prospects of going one better at the fourth attempt.
		As the race unfolded though, Tony Culhane on Shivaree was quick to take advantage of his rival’s inexperience and as Parsons and Value Plus drifted away from the running rail, Culhane drove Shivaree through the gap and on to a length-and-a-quarter victory.
		Literal interpretation of one line of form can be dangerous but with Value Plus having chased home both Russian Blue and Democratic Deficit within a six-day period in May, it can’t be unreasonable to suggest that Shivaree wouldn’t be too far off those seemingly top-class Irish-trained colts with her fillies allowance of 5lbs.

	Shivaree, I oughtta give you a shot in the head for making me live in this dump [Emi 2000]
		Ma gli esempi si sprecano, e la stessa cosa, con la complicità mediatica degli orologi Breil, è accaduta agli Shivaree con Goodnight Moon, singolo contagioso e dalle sonorità ombrosamente oniriche, anche grazie al fascino emanato a piene note dalla seducente voce di Ambrosia Parsley, classe 1971, la bella cantante del trio californiano.
		Gli Shivaree oltre che dalla Parsley, leader ed autrice della gran parte delle canzoni del gruppo, sono formati da Duke McVinnie alla chitarra ed al basso, e da Danny McGough alle tastiere ed al gizmo: il terzetto si è formato a San Diego quasi per caso ed ha esordito a fine 2000.
		La tracklist di I oughtta give you a shot in the head for making me live in this dump conta dodici brani in tutto, per quanto il primo e l'ultimo siano da considerarsi brevi ma succosi divertissements.
