5 out of 5 stars Sexy.......2005-07-18

This deserves a million out of five because this is the funniest thing I have ever heard.

5 out of 5 stars Too Cool For Words.......2005-07-03

If you are interested in Tiny but don't know much about him, or if you are building a collection, this one is essential. Tiny was involved in an unfortunate number of cheesy productions after the early Reprise recordings, so I am forever grateful that he left us on this very high note.
The wonderful thing about Tiny Tim was that he was at once a very savvy song stylist with an unparalled knowledge of popular music history and an utterly genuine eccentric who used his gifts and deep love of music in startlingly strange and wonderful ways. Listen, then, to Tiny the vaudevillian, singing the marvelous 'Sly Cigarette', a show-tune from 1898. Then there is Tiny opening up his great, big pipes and singing 'That Old Feeling'. Beautiful!! Then the infectious 'Bye Bye Blackbird, which makes me want to jump around the room. And of course that incredibly weird and compelling cover of 'Stairway to Heaven', done in perfect lounge-lizard persona. There are some turkeys here, it is true, but they are safely outnumbered by the gems. It's just a great cd.
I must not neglect to mention the wonderful Brave Combo, who bring great virtuosity, imagination, and life to the entire production. Don't miss this one.

3 out of 5 stars Tiny Tim - 'Girl' (Rounder).......2005-05-24

I remember seeing Tiny Tim playing a club a few months before he passed on.'Girl' is an okay CD,but then again,I just basically went to see him play mostly because I figured he wouldn't be around much longer.Unfortunately for his fans,I was right.I did,however end up having a decent time.I've always thought Tiny Tim was good at what he did,playing Vaudeville-like novelty pop songs while mastering(if you can master)his ukelele.I'm sure very few other artists could get away with it,much less lasting as long in the music business as long as Tim did.His back-up band on this CD was Brave Combo(didn't care that much for them).Tracks that I thought sort of stood out on their own were "Over The Rainbow","New York,New York",if you can believe it,Zeppelin's "Stairway To Heaven" and a couple of Beatles covers,the title cut "Girl" and "Hey Jude".I've heard that Tim had a musical repertoire of over 1,200 songs.Sure most of them were old corny two minute ditties.I've also heard several other music buffs say his falsetto vocals can never be matched.But,what the hey?It's Tiny Tim.

5 out of 5 stars NOT TO BE MISSED BY TINY TIM FANS.......2005-03-28

THIS IS A GREAT CD. TINY TIM COVERS A LOT OF GROUND. THE SOUND QUALITY IS CRYTAL CLEAR. VERY LITTLE OF HIS TRADEMARK FALSETTO. INSTEAD WE GET TINY THE CROONER WITH LOTS OF VIBRATION IN HIS THROAT. NO-ONE COULD TOP THE BEATLES ON "GIRL" BUT TINY MAKES IT HIS OWN. HIS VERSION OF "STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN" IS THE SAME ARRANGEMENT USED BY PAT BOONE ( IN A METAL MOOD ). THE SONG IS JAZZ! FOR TRADITIONAL TINY TIM FANS THERE IS "OVER THE RAINBOW". HE STRUGGLES SLIGHTLY WITH THE HIGH NOTES BUT ULTIMATELY THIS CD IS A TRIUMPH FOR THE LATE, GREAT TINY TIM. GOOD LINER NOTES AND PHOTO OF TINY SHOPPING IN WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE DIAPERS AISLE. THIS IS GOOD STUFF.
THIS IS ONE OF THE RARE TINY TIM CD THAT MAY BE ENJOYED BY A LARGER AUDIENCE. I RATE IT HIGH BECAUSE I "GET" IT AND MY REVIEW IS GEARED TOWARDS TIM FANS. IF YOU DON"T HAVE A VERY OPEN MIND OR ARE NOT ALREADY A TIM FAN BUYER BEWARE.
THOSE WHO HAVE JUST DISCOVERED TINY TIM FROM SHOWS SUCH AS HOWARD STERN WILL FIND THIS A GREAT STARTER CD.
