Album Description
ALO may be describing the inspiration for their release Roses & Clover however, it best summarizes the band's newfound approach to their music. For a band accustomed to performing songs live for years, crafting and shaping hundreds of times over before entering the studio, the age-old process of recording an album first was, well... liberating. On Roses & Clover, ALO explored new methods of collaborating, finding a richer, more mature sound built on their individual songwriting strengths. Recorded in a turn-of-the-century barn in the hills overlooking colonial Santa Barbara, the four musicians holed themselves up for two weeks with little more than their favorite instruments and 40 songs in various stages - 80% of which had never been performed on stage.
Album Description
Included bonus track 'Just Like Heaven'.

 Worth Every Penny June 30, 2008
Jeffrey M. Thompson (OHIO)
This ablum is by far, better than Fly Between Falls. If you like long guitar riffs, than this is the album for you. Dan Lebowitz doesn't let you down on this album, especially on Maria. Zach Gill continues his great lyrical work on this as well. I just recently saw Jack in Detroit and Zach was along side him, which left me wanting more, so I deceided to download this one, and is worth any penny. If you are looking for more ALO, check out Jack Johnson's and Friends DVD Live At The Greek, for some live ALO
A GREAT ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH! March 27, 2008
GALLI (San Juan, PR)
This is an excellent well recorded album that reminds you of the Loving Spoonful, as its singer voice sounds like John Sebastian. It's a well crafted algum from start to finish that you can listen on and on without getting bored. The ALO - Animal Liberation Orchestra - is a jam band, but with the traits on this particular recording like Steely Dan. Give it a listen. I did. And I'm going out to purchase now their previous recordings!
 Great CD December 29, 2007
John Soucie (New Hampshire, USA)
This CD is great! Way better than ALO's previous album 'Fly Between Falls'. The quality of this product is great, the music is great. Highly recommended for any ALO fans!
Another Fine Effort December 7, 2007
Smitty (Alexandria, VA)
Roses and Clover is the perfect follow-up album to Fly Between Falls. If you enjoyed the sound of that album, Roses will keep you satisfied. ALO is certainly a very likeable band with great musical talents and good lyrics. This disc will see some rotation in your player.
Stands up to repeated listening June 22, 2007
T. Onorato (Auburn, CA)
I have been a fan of these guys for a long time. Mostly their live shows and live recordings. I am not a huge fan of any studio recordings in general for the simple reason that I cannot "feel" it as much as when the band is playing together.
However, this album goes to my top ten albums of all time, for anyone. Every song is a gem, I can listen to this album over and over and do not get sick of it. For me, no matter what the artist, that is a miracle.
I do agree that on the surface, this album is a bit more pop, but that is merely the surface. This album is pure magic. Super recommended.
Faves are Roses and Clover, Monday, and empty vessel.
