The tracks include: Ten Brothers (5:38), Warsaw (3:38), Little Rain (5:10), Springtime (7:22), Shabes, Shabes (3:57), Everything Goes Up In Smoke (5:20), Everyone Calls Me Zhamele (4:57), Listen, Pretty Girl (4:48), Jewish Food (3:05), Farewell, My Krakow (3:28), When You Laugh (6:31), and Let The Redemption Come (6:11).

5 out of 5 stars The Rocking, Bluesy, World-Weary Voice of Wolf Krakowski.......2003-07-10

I just discovered Transmigrations and I'm overwhelmed. Musically, it's a globe-spanning combination of Old World poetry and melody, and New World rock, blues, country, and reggae. Krakowski's bluesy, raw voice is backed by a great, rocking band and a trio of of singers with angelic, almost gospel voices. The Yiddish lyrics (translations provided) are a powerful mix of sorrow and joy. This collection is rare achievement: it somehow touches your heart deeply and at the same time makes you get up and dance.
