The String Quartet Tribute to Phish Reader Reviews
"The String Quartet Tribute to Phish" is an enjoyable listen. Phish songs are arranged and performed by a string quartet that includes violin, viola, cello and bass. The song choice is good, although the group seemed to shy away from Phish's more challenging material. An exception to this is the inclusion of 'You Enjoy Myself.' Then again, the quartet only plays an abbreviated version of the phan favorite. 'The Squirming Coil' and 'Divided Sky' are other demanding tunes that the quartet took on. The group brings orchestral warmth to 'Farmhouse' and 'Billy Breathes.' As if ending the first set, 'Run Like An Antelope' closes the disc. The retellings tend to be note for note. Indeed, the listener won't have any epiphanies listening to "The String Quartet Tribute to Phish." This is part of the new cottage industry of doing string quartet albums based on popular music. This Phish tribute is one of hundreds of similar projects by Vitamin Records. I can only imagine the quartet's studio schedule: Enya on Monday, Fleetwood Mac on Tuesday, 2Pac on Wednesday, Slayer on Thursday and Phish on Friday. As a testament to the hasty corporate effort, the back of the CD case features a write-up that's riddled with both grammatical and spelling errors. Issues aside, "The String Quartet Tribute to Phish" is good fun. That written, the listener would do well to remember that if this project featured any vocals, they would sing "bag it, tag it, sell it at the CD store."
