Great Introducion

"INNOCENCE AND EXPERIENCE is a great introduction to the Blake Babies. A sort of greatest hits CD, featuring a couple extras.



Most of the major Blake Babies songs are here, but since they had so many great songs, this should only be seen as an introduction to the group. I'm sure that after listening to this, you'd want to go and pick up the rest of their CDs.



The demo version of "Rain" is according to the liner notes the first song they ever recorded and sounds even better than either of the full version they later recorded of the song. It also includes a live version of the Neil Young song "Over and Over".



So, this is worth picking up both for the casual fan who wants to discover the Blake Babies and the serious fan for the two extras.

Discover the Blake Babies

"I first heard about the Blake Babies when I was reading an article about Evan Dando (lead singer of the Lemonheads). I read that he had done some background singing with the band, so I went out and bought my first Blake Babies CD, Innocence and Experience. This CD reveals the strong voice of Julianna Hatfield and the talent that the whole band can produce. It's worth adding to your CD collection!"

Great Babies Album

"Juliana Hatfield's early band the Blake Babies released this album late in their career with songs from earlier albums (including Earwig and Sunburn). Rain is a great song that is seen on here as the demo version, it's a great song, however I did perfer the original released version). 'Lament' is the best song on here, and is also the best Blake Babies song of all time in my opinion. As a Lemonheads fan I enjoyed hearing Evan Dando's voice on several of the tracks including 'Lament'. All in all it's an excellent cd that most any fans of Juliana will love... Long live the Blake Babies
