Album Notes: Moonshine Willy includes: Kim Docter (vocals, guitar); Chuck Uchida (guitar).
Album Reviews: Entertainment Weekly (5/8/98, p.76) - "...Frontwoman Kim Docter is a keen storyteller with a muscular alto, a tell-it-like-it-is mama who would do Loretta Lynn proud, and her songwriting justifies even the Lynyrd Skynyrd guitar bursts and drunken Nashville choral arrangments. Bottoms up."
Advantages: Calm and mellow, lyrics Disadvantages: calm and mellow, samey
...in a cartoony way. Not excatly to my liking but it's for the music not the artwork.
Overall i think this is a great album, a few week songs but it's nothing to cry about. The album is at a high standard and is well worth buying if your a fan or love indie music this for you.

Most of the tracks are very slow and calming- sorrowful songs such as "Forget About Tomorrow" reflect the band's sadness at thier tragic loss of drummer, Jon Lee.
The album's only low point is the track "Godzilla" a heavily distorted, guitar overload which really goes against everything the album stands for.
However, all in all this is an album that really shows Feeder at thier best, and as I'm sure you'll soon agree, complete musical perfection. The album can be bought for £6.97 (well worth it for what you get) from Amazon.co.uk or downloaded from sites such as mycokemusic.com or the iTunes Music Store for around 70p per track.
Quick summary of the tracks:
1. Just The Way I'm Feeling (9/10)

Helium: Distorted vocals and much darker. 8/10
Child in You: Quiet, slow, reflective 9/10
Comfort In sound: The title track. This sound basically sums up the whole album as well. Heavy and quiet. Brings out the mourning of the drummer. 10/10
Forget About Tomorrow: Best song on the album. Amazing lyrics and Grants favorite feeder song. 10/10
Summer's gone: A lovely melodic song. 8/10
Godzilla: A sudden burst of heavy guitars and screamed lyrics 6/10
Quick Fade: Similar to Summers Gone and is my favorite song to reflect on life. 9/10
Find the Colour: More energetic and acoustic. This song brings the album into a sense that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Released as a 4th single 10/10
Love Pollution: Lovely tune and lyrics. One of my favorite on the album. 10/10
