Red Elvises I Wanna See You Belly Dance CD

 Great intro to a great band
The Red Elvises tag line says it all… "Kick ass rock n roll from Siberia!" If you are a fan or just curious about this band (with such a great name who wouldn’t be), "I want to see you bellydance" is probably their best work. It’s fun and great on a long drive. I have yet to find someone who can say they wouldn’t listen to, or buy the album after only a single play of the disk. If you are new to the band and are looking for a good companion album to this one, the Red Elvises also did the soundtrack for the movie "Six String Samurai". Both albums, and anything else by the Red Elvises for that matter (except maybe for their Live album), is at least 4 out of 5 stars in my book.

 In a class by itself
I gave the thing 4 stars, but that's a bit dubious: Four stars in relation to what? There's nothing else like it. Most people are familiar with Frank Zappa; a few people might remember Focus (remember Hocus Pocus?). Well, take a cross between the two, throw in a generous helping of vodka, and a some top-notch guitar playing, and maybe you'll get this album. After you get past the Wild and Crazy Guys from Russia aspect, you start to notice that musicianship here is actually very good. The guitar playing is outstanding, and the overall production is tight and professional. This is crazy with brains, musicianship, and professionalism behind it. Another remarkable aspect is the wide variety of musical styles here, all done with tongue firmly in cheek. Highly recommended for those who don't take life too seriously.
