Tom Lehrer recorded rather sporadically starting in the 1950s then abruptly retired in the mid-'60s from his unique solo musical comedy act. He's a competent pianist with a voice that is perfect for his original material. This compilation combines both of his records that were originally pressed and sold privately on the Lehrer label, which he later re-recorded with improved sound for Reprise as Songs by Tom Lehrer and the live concert An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer. While the differences between this CD and the Reprise versions are minimal, other than a little more muffled piano sound on these earlier recordings, it's fun to hear hilarious works like "The Irish Ballad," the creative "Oedipus Rex," and his satire of military life in "It Makes a Fellow Proud to Be a Soldier." Several favorites, including "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park" and "The Masochism Tango" are heard in orchestrated versions as well as by Lehrer alone. And Lehrer finally got around to recording "I Got It from Agnes," which implies how venereal disease is spread (in an amusing fashion, if that's possible) without ever coming out and saying it directly. This CD is a must for Lehrer fanatics. ~ Ken Dryden Songs & More Songs By Tom Lehrer Music | List Price | $9.98 (You save $2.29) | | Category | Rock/Pop Albums, Rock CDs, Spoken, Comedy | | Label | Rhino | | Orig Year | 1997 | | All Time Sales Rank |  1472  | | CD Universe Part number | 1118373 | | Catalog number | 72776 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | May 06, 1997 | | Studio/Live | Mixed | | Mono/Stereo | Mono | | Producer | David McLees (Reissue); Barry Hansen (Reissue); Tom Lehrer (Reissue); Bill Inglot (Reissue) |
Songs & More Songs By Tom Lehrer Music Review Average Rating: (4.8 out of 5 stars)  Think George Carlin with a piano
I have always been a fan of Tom Lehrer, and enjoy his music (well, his songs anyway). He has a sense of humor that is sly and witty, but with a lot meaning behind the words if you care to listen.
The tunes are easily singableand hummable, and you will find yourself humming them throughout the day. Enjoy the songs, think about what he is saying, an let yourself come back to the 60's and 70's with Tom Lehrer

While these songs are now somewhat dated timewise, they are useful if you are a School Teacher, to highlight Educational Issues.

ANIYA RELEASES IN OTHER WORDS, HER DEBUT RECORDINGA popular jazz and ballad singer based in the Los Angeles area, Aniya recently recorded and released her first CD. In Other Words matches her beautiful voice with the superb rhythm section of pianist Alan Broadbent, bassist Dave Carpenter and drummer Peter Erskine.Born in Tokyo, Aniya has established herself in Los Angeles as a singer and pianist who has a very attractive voice and an intimate style. After performing at many clubs including regularly at the popular Koreatown jazz bar Bobby London, she was long overdue to make a recording that her fans and other jazz listeners would enjoy. Guitarist-producer Dirk K. persuaded her that now was the time and the results are quite rewarding.Each of Aniya’s sidemen has an endless amount of very impressive credits. Alan Broadbent has performed with the who’s who of jazz. Among the vocalists who he has worked with have been Irene Kral (their three ballad albums are exquisite), Sue Raney, Diana Krall (as her musical director and conductor), Rosemary Clooney, Mel Torme, Karrin Allyson, Mary Stallings, Judy Niemack, Sheila Jordan and Carol Sloane. Dave Carpenter has played with nearly every major musician who has passed through Los Angeles with some of the more notable names including Buddy Rich, Maynard Ferguson, Al Jarreau, David Sanborn, Bill Holman and Lalo Schifrin. Peter Erskine, after extensive tours with Stan Kenton, became famous for playing with Weather Report. He has since appeared on hundreds of recordings including with such singers as Diana Krall, Joni Mitchell, Tania Maria, Ricki Lee Jones and Barbara Streisand. All three of the masterful musicians can now add Aniya to their credits.In Other Words is full of subtle creativity and surprises. The set begins with the rarely-heard verse of “Fly Me To The Moon” during a version that is much slower than usual and quite heartfelt. “Lover Man” has close interaction between Aniya and Dave Carpenter while “Blame It On My Youth” has one of the singer’s most expressive vocals. “The Look Of Love,” which Aniya says is her all-time favorite song, is full of joy which she expresses at a relaxed tempo. Hoagy Carmichael’s “The Nearness Of You,” Duke Ellington’s“Prelude To A Kiss,” ...
