Imagine a Harvard professor (which he was) with a gift for the piano (which he had), and the iconoclastic humorous bent of a Lenny Bruce or George Carlin (right on the money), and you'll get a good picture of musical humorist Tom Lehrer, whose delightfully twisted ditties presaged the counterculture of both the Beats and the hippies. Unlike those bohemian types, Lehrer never let it all hang out; his professorial demeanor was part of his shtick, making his outrageous lyrical content all the more effective.
Though he was a key comedic figure throughout the '50s, THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS is Lehrer's only '60s studio recording, and his last before his early retirement from music. No stone is left unturned, as he skewers the Catholic church to ragtime accompaniment on "The Vatican Rag," mocks phony liberalism and racial unrest in "National Brotherhood Week," and takes a well-aimed shot at the then-current folk revival in "The Folk Song Army."

$15.35
OLD FRIENDS emphasizes much of what people love about Guy Clark: the quiet grace, the homespun wisdom, and the earthy songwriting gift. The all-acoustic arrangements sound so organic and spontaneous that this could almost be a live album. For much of this recording, Clark is at his most quietly poignant, whether nonchalantly extolling the virtues ...
| | Frankie Paul 20 Massive Hits CD (1990)
That Was The Year That Was songs
$9.79
The title is a misnomer; there aren't 20 Massive Hits here, not that even that many would begin to do justice to Frankie Paul's prolific propensity for placing discs in the charts. A more appropriate title would be 20 Classic Vintage Cuts, because that is what you get. With a distinct lack of information provided, buyers are left to work out for themselves just what they're getting. And what precisely is that? A set drawn exclusively from the mid-'80s, and culling mainly from three magnificent Paul albums, one cut for Junjo Lawes, and the other two for George Phang. The Lawes cuts bundle up five numbers off the singer's mighty Pass the Tu-Sheng-Peng set, backed by the Roots Radics and including the smash hit title track (under an alternate spelling), the equally impressive "Jump No Fence" (retitled "Curfew in the Dace"), the magnificent "War Is in the Dance" (aka "Worries in the Dance"), ...
| | Curved Air Phantasmagoria CD (1972)
That Was The Year That Was album
$11.19
The sonic caveats which accompany Collector's Choice's other Curved Air reissues remain in force; the historical truth that what sounded timelessly groovy in 1971 is not necessarily so finger-snapping three decades later remains unimpeachable. But still, Phantasmagoria is a fabulous album, the culmination of all that Curved Air promised over the course of its predecessors; the yardstick by which ...
