When singing solo, McFerrin leaps from rumbling, nearly sub-sonic depths to breathy, almost dog-whistle highs with alarming fluidity. He doesn’t need accompaniment, because he simultaneously functions as his own bass, treble and percussion sections all in one. To that alternately yodelling and resonant presence, he adds sound effects such as the leading edge of a storm, and a vaudevillian sense for a completely novel and theatrical musical experience...

What could be more Hank Williams...
...back for their encore. After playing “Buddy Holly,” one of their most famous singles from their first album, they ended the show with a grand finale of “Surf Wax America.” Cuomo and Shriner left their guitar and bass in front of the amps in a wash of feedback as the band departed, this time for good. The crowd, on the other hand, was left breathlessly staring at the empty stage, mesmerised by the superb quality of the performance, the signature =W= hanging on the backdrop...
