Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A Laugh A Minute!.......2004-05-20

Imagine a wedding band writing their own songs --- That's "The Coctails". Anyone who has ever gigged will get lots of laughs out of this CD. Cliched lyrics, free jazz, ice cream changes, horrible sax playing, toy pianos, all supported by a solid drummer. It's great satire! It sounds like you're right there in the room with the guys trying their best. If you listen closely, you can even hear their dog barking at one point! Bass clarinet, banjo, they do it all. Highly recommended!

5 out of 5 stars A great overview of a great band.......2000-06-20

One of the most inventive but sadly underheard bands of the early 90's, the Coctails skillfully wove a blend of influences into a cohesive, tight brilliant package. From the ska-like "Road Hog", to the 60's garage pop of "Talkin Bout My Baby", to the smooth jazz of "Wet Suit," to the shambolic greatness of "Old Gray Mare," genres are dipped into and played with great skill and humor. The live version of "Waiting for Godot" merely hints at their brilliance live. Don't miss this record!
