Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Check out Time.......2005-09-13

The reviews here focus on the obvious hits. Lend an ear to TIME, one of CK's masterpieces. You gotta hear the choir kick in. It's R&B, gospel and raw soul. I was raised in NOLa, and this is as good as it gets.

4 out of 5 stars Let Me Show You Where It's At.......2000-11-27

First off, this is a truncated version of the great Charly compilation that appeared in 1990. That collection (Charly 230), sported 24 tracks. Chris Kenner has not been well served by history and the Charly compilation is the only really good one I know about. I quite enjoy Chris Kenner; he was a great songwriter. Stuff like "I Like It Like That" and "Land of 1000 Dances" everyone knows, but he also wrote some weird and enduring classics, like "They Took My Money" and the awe-inspiring "Packing Up" with its great line "She iron my clothes/And burn them up/I'm telling you, people, I've had enough" (and the way Kenner pronounces "burn" as "boin" is so New Orleans...). In the great "They Took My Money" he sings "I got a rifle I got in the war/A butcher knife, a axe and a saw/I tell you now they took my money/Now they gone." A really neglected artist, and a man who made a quite a bit of money from songwriting royalties and could often be found sleeping in the bus station. I wish that, in this age of rampant reissues of every half-baked rock and soul artist from the past, we could enjoy everything he ever recorded. So come on, Collectables, get it together and do something for history for a change!

For all you "Musicians" out there who argue that Cannibal and the headhunters originated "Land of a thousand dances" Get this CD, and listen to the man who penned it.
