Fresh off a co-headlining slot on the 1996 H.O.R.D.E. tour, Rusted Root returns to the record racks with REMEMBER, on which it continues mining the world-music polyrhythms of the million-selling WHEN I WOKE (but with one less member, with the departure of singer-percussionist Jenn Wertz). Producer Jerry Harrison (no stranger to international influences on pop music) provides a steady hand in helping Rusted Root walk a fine line between hippie jamming and more exotic musical indulgences. Singer-guitarist Michael Glabicki's quavering singing style suggests a less-jittery David Byrne, while his bandmates are the equivalent of the talented multi-instrumentalists that populated mid-period Talking Heads records. The songs on REMEMBER range from the South African township guitar phrasing of "Silver-N-Gold" to the medieval-meets-Middle-Eastern textures of "Faith I Do Believe." With the band down to a six-piece, Liz Berlin's contributions have grown the most. Her heightened presence includes Ofra Haza-like vocal inflections on "River In A Cage" and pennywhistle on "Voodoo." Other band members add such exotic percussion instruments as dumbek and riq.

Musician (12/96, p.92) - "...a brilliant effort that's much more than the sum of it's prickly parts....the more you listen to the singer emote, the more like a Bono-level superstar he sounds--the guy's got charisma..."
