Together for only year, the 4 guys in Minneapolis-based Blue Jupiter are making some major waves in the a cappella universe. Managed by Tim Kasper of The Blenders, BJ has the raw talent and creativity to go wherever they want. The style, arrangements, hell, even the liner notes are other-worldly! 12 songs, "On The Road," "Groovin' to Blue Jupiter," Stevie Wonder's "Sir Duke," "Wrapped Up In You," "Hallelujah," "Green Shaggy Carpet Ride," a crazed cover of Sam the Sham's "Little Red Riding Hood," the lovely "Nightlight" (with light guitar accompaniment), the driving, bebop "Mr. Pinstripe Suit," a slow and sweet "Stand By Me," a brilliant cover of Carlos Santana's "Smooth" and "Song for Michelle." One of the strongest, most impressive debut CDs we've heard. Highly recommended!
