Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Just nice.......2003-07-15

This album is instrumental, and, while they are very good musicians, the best part about FFPT is their wacky singing. For their best, get Firehouse Five Plus Two Crashes a Party. For fine instrumental, get something from the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. This CD has decent remastering, clear sound, and a good selection of tunes. Almost a "4", but since we can't give halvies, I have to give this one a "3" rating.

5 out of 5 stars It's all Dixie no matter where it's from!.......1999-12-05

In the '50s, the Firehouse Five Plus Two did a series of "theme" albums: Goes to a Fire, Plays for Lovers, Goes South, etc. This one features songs about places all around the world. As is typical for the Firehouse Five, some of the tunes are traditional Dixieland: "Hindustan" and "Panama;" while others have probably never received the Dixieland treatment before or since: "When Irish Eyes are Smiling," "My Little Grass Shack in Kealakekua, Hawaii." But all are smartly presented and performed with enthusiasm and style. This is a fine example of the boys at their best.
