First of all, I’m not a _huge_ Hookah fan, so this review isn’t full of the usual fan gushing. Simply put, this showcases Ohio’s best band at their very best. Their jams are a lot tighter and less long-winded than many of their brethren, which makes for an excellent introduction to this band. Standouts include “Lady Vanilla,” “Comin’ Back to Me,” “Sister Sugar,” and “Alexander,” which I think is probably their best song. They compare favorably to Widespread Panic and the Allman Brothers.

    I’ve seen Hookah a number of times, and I’ve heard this setlist almost everytime I’ve seen them. I wish they really changed things up for the CD. Great performance though…would have liked to have heard some songs that aren’t played very often….

    I had never even heard of ekoostik hookah. Simply put, if you like String Cheese Incident, Phish, moe., Widespread Panic or the Grateful Dead, you will assuredly enjoy the heck out of this live compilation, too. Korn, Limp Bizkit, and Brittany Spears fans please do not attempt to listen to this album at home without musical supervision. Each song on this “hookah” performance has its own pleasant little surprise that will keep you listening, and that’s what improvisation is all about.

    ohio’s greatest jam band, has been done a great justice on the recording of this album. I am a big hookah fan but this album will sell concert tickets. if youve neveer seen ekoostik hookah before youll thirst to see them after you hear this one

    So, this band’s name has mislead a number of musically curious folk. The word acoustic (spelled phonetically) is used because it is defined as “music as it is” or “of or for hearing”. It is not used to describe a band that plays strictly ‘acoustic’ instruments.

    They DO play electric instruments the majority of the time.

    That aside, they play their instruments extremely well. They write songs perfectly suited for the instruments they choose to play. Also, when they decide to record themselves in the confines of a studio they play and sing with the same energy and passion that obviously comes through every live performance. That is why this band is able to capture their “live sound” more so than most ‘jam’bands.

    I believe this album, specifically, is an initial culmination of years of hard work and focused energy. Each member of this band shines on this album. Each of their distinct personalities has a chance to reach through the studio recording to the ears and heart of the listener.

    I’m sure it’s obvious to you that I love this band. Yes, it is true. I’ve seen them perform live right around 65 times. And guess what… I’m not from Ohio. I live in Michigan, a neighboring state to be sure, and in my opinion ekoostik Hookah’s 2nd home.

    If you enjoy well thought out, energetic, strongly confident music, then I can assure you that you will enjoy this recording.

    Oh yeah, after you hear it you won’t be able to resist checking them out when they come to your neck of the woods, so beware.

    Rarely can a jam(ming)band capture the rapture of a ruckus live show on a studio release. Conversely, heady jams often disguise slipshod songwriting or simplistic composition. Ekoostik Hookah’s magnificent studio release “Ohio Grown” represents the rare synthesis of serious chops, thoughtful lyrics, and crafty composition. The well-produced album is a long anticipated tour-de-force from this hardworking band.

    Patient guitar work and rich percussion that will appeal to a wide audience compliment the range of musical styles, from inspiring “Dragonfly” to rolling “Raging River.” Other tunes, namely the ballads “Ohio Grown” and “Pass the Cider, Pass the Rum,” will mist the eyes of the legions of expatriate Buckeyes pining for the good life in the hills of the Appalachian Plateau. Finally, unexpected treasures such as songwriter Michael Hurley’s “Sweet Lucy” and drummer Eric Lanese’s “Dancing Outlaw” should delight even the most road-hardened Hookies.

    The music – and all you need is music – is presented within a clever album concept and extraordinary artwork (including one of six covers reflecting the tastes of the six members of the band). Ekoostik Hookah continues to grow musically, a function of their professionalism and vision. Ohio Grown is sure to please new listeners and old hands alike, an antidote to dry and unsatisfying drudgery of the corporate music scene.

    This is by far hookah’s best studio cut to date. The beginning of the album starts out strong with “dragonfly” and doesn’t dissappoint as the songs get stronger and more cohesive. Although they were in the studio, their strong sense of jamming is still there throughout the entire CD. I burn many CD’s and this one is worth buying to support the band to hope they turn out more great CD’s like this one. The only downside to this CD is the accoustic sets seem to be replaced by electric ones. “Ohio Grown” captures some of their accoustic spirit, but listeners used to their accoustic styles should leave that thought at the door.

    I want to like this album. The band has a solid set of chops, the guitar and keys play off each other really well, the energy level is high, and their hearts seem to be in the right place. I REALLY want to like this album, but I don’t. Why not? First of all, the writing is pretty lame – none of the lyrics are especially compelling, and some are downright cheesy. There’s also a strong Bob Weir influence, but in all the wrong ways (sudden inexplicable tempo shifts, weird phrasings, etc.). I’m also not very impressed by any of the vocalists. Perhaps what puts me off the most is that the whole disk, like the worst of Weir’s tunes, is just TRYING TOO HARD. The band seems to be making an attempt to be all things to all people, and failing to excel at any of them. There is one notable exception – “Caribou” is a very nice pure bluegrass number with winning vocals and an infectious, get-under-your-skin hummability that makes me smile. Otherwise, this is a mostly forgettable effort by a band that seems to have a ton of potential. I’ll bet (like the majority of my favorite musicians) Hookah is a riot to see live, where their improvisational talents can really shine. I’ll be looking for them to come to Rochester, but I won’t be spinning this disc much in the meantime.

    I understand the complications of replacing an integral band member. I understand how difficult it is to bring someone new into the band and to get them into the groove of what that band is all about. With all this in mind, I’m trying to figure out what to say about this album. I don’t really like it all that much.
    I have to agree with a previous reviewer that they seem to have picked up all of Bob Weir’s worst qualities. The cowboy songs I skip over on my Grateful Dead CDs seem to be re-written here and even though I KNOW that this is a great band, I’m having a hard time with this album.
    ‘Where the Fields Grow Green’ has a strange feeling to it and I can’t quite figure it out. While I’ve never been much of a fan of this band’s vocals, I have to admit that they’re right on most of the time (something *many* jambands need *lots* of work on) and the instruments sound good, the arrangements are decent. I just don’t like the songs that much. They’re pretty two-dimensional sounding. Maybe I need to listen to it more, who knows?
    Don’t get me wrong, ekoostik hookah is a great live band and I’ll see them any time they come to my town, but I wouldn’t recommend this CD to anyone who isn’t already familar to their music.
