Best Redbone Release Out There.......2004-08-18

His music is entertaining, but this is the Leon Redbone album that stands above the others. You get a good mix of mellow old tunes like "Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone," to the upbeat "Champagne Charlie" and "Alabama Jubilee."

I especially enjoyed his almost solemn tone in "Sweet Sue" and "Big Bad Bill." "Big Bad Bill" is a silly and endearing song about a burly Terror of the Town who is humbled and tamed by his wife, and only Redbone could bring out the humor by singing it at such a snail-pace.

As much as I enjoyed several other Leon Redbone CDs, the tracks tend to blend into one another after awhile, and I found this album to be such a dramatic exception. I don't think I could ever hate a Leon Redbone album, but "Champagne Charlie" is the only one of his releases I would rave about.

Blind Blake's son plays here !!.......2001-08-29

Leon Redbone is Blind Blake's son.Just listen to "Champagne Charlie" or "big bad Bill is sweet William now" to be sure.THis is another great record by the martian.On three tunes,Leon has a special guest star : Sammy Price and Little Brother Montgomery. Once again,he pays tribute to Jelly Roll Morton ("I hate a man like you").And plays marvelous versions of old standards,"please don't talk about me when I'm gone","sweet Sue".As estimable as any of Leon's recordings,and surely one of the three Leon's records to buy in priority.

a pleasant oddball.......1999-10-04

For those of you who have not heard of Leon Redbone before, this disc is a good starting point. Redbone is one of the most original and eccentric characters in the music scenes. This guy appeared in 70's, a time when everyone else was busy crafting their Dylan-Beatles-esque stuff, with a top hat, a Mr. Penut-like cane, a pair of vintage sunglasses and a collection of charming ragtime and pre-war Jazzy tunes. Redbone has a raw and unpolished voice and ability to bring any song alive. This disc showcases his typical styles. A good buy for anyone looking for something different.
