Gadfly Records is proud to release "16 Tons of Monkeys," a live release from the Austin supergroup of the same name and fronted by Tonio K. It's Tonio's first-ever live release, coming almost 25 years after he first emerged on the scene in the late '70s. ***In addition to some Tonio K. classics the CD also includes 3 unreleased songs done live and 2 unreleased bonus tracks!*** This 1992 concert, recorded at Pearl's in Austin, features the ace lineup of: Tonio K. (vocals, guitar) Don Harvey (drums) Scott Garber (bass) Reese Wynans (Hammond B-3) Bukka Allen (piano) Jerry Holmes (guitar) CD folder includes typically excellent liner notes from Senor K.! Despite receiving massive critical praise for "Life in the Foodchain" (1978) and "Amerika" (1980), Tonio K. bounced around from CBS Records, to Arista, to Capitol-EMI (which resulted in the 1983 EP "La Bomba"), before settling into What?/A&M for his third and fourth albums: "Romeo Unchained" (1986) and "Notes from the lost civilization" (1988). Since being "dropped" from A&M, he has been one of the music industry's most successful songwriters, penning the most played song of 1993 ("Love Is," recorded by Vanessa Williams and Brian McKnight), and placing songs with Bonnie Raitt, Aaron Neville, Al Green (from the "Michael" soundtrack), and many others. A fifth album recorded with an all-star cast (Paul Westerberg, David Hidalgo, Peter Case, Bruce Thomas, and others) was canned by A&M and released by Gadfly Records ("Olé") in 1997. A collection of spare tracks and other oddities -- "Rodent Weekend '76-'96 (Approximately)" -- was released by Gadfly Records in 1998, and "Yugoslavia," a CD of tracks recorded in the '90s, was released in 1999. All four of Tonio K.'s earlier full-length albums are available on CD from Gadfly Records.
Recorded at Pearl's, Austin, Texas in 1992. Includes liner notes by Tonio K.
Tonio K.: Tonio K. (vocals, guitar); Jerry Holmes (guitar); Bukka Allen (piano); Reese Wynans (Hammond B-3 organ); Scott Garber (bass); Don Harvey (drums).
Entertainment Weekly (12/14/01, p.86) - "...A rip-roaring band...trading on K's critically acclaimed singer-songwring rep of the 70's and 80's and on the goodwill of unsuspecting Texas club crowds..." - Rating: A- Tonio K 16 Tons Of Monkeys Songs | 1. | I Handle Snakes | |

16 Tons Of Monkeys album
 $13.79 
Let's clear up a possible confusion right up front. From its cover, you might think Tonio K.'s Yugoslavia was a collection of traditional ethnic music. After all, the photograph ("courtesy of the Yugoslav tourist office, circa 1958," the singer notes) depicts two Eastern European men in traditional garb, including colorful blouses and skirts, brandishing sabers at each other (or ...

| | Damien Jurado Where Shall You Take Me? CD (2003)
16 Tons Of Monkeys album
$10.59
Arriving just a year after the surprisingly eclectic and electric rock of I Break Chairs, Damien Jurado's Where Shall You Take Me? is something of a return -- but not a retreat -- to the moody minimalism of albums like Ghost of David. Songs like "Amateur Night" and "Omaha" share the acoustic strumming and rustic, shuffling rhythms of his earlier work, but also have a subtly polished confidence that brings out the warmth in Jurado's singing and playing as never before. ...

16 Tons Of Monkeys CD music
$17.05
On their early albums, the Waterboys became known as practitioners of "the Big Sound," an epic, wide-screen musical vision on a par with the contemporaneous offerings of U2 and Big Country, making them the musical equivalents of Cecil B. DeMille. For FISHERMAN'S BLUES, though, they decided to scale things down considerably, departing for a little while from their outsized pop/rock ambitions to embrace Celtic roots, folk, and heavily Dylan-influenced, BLOOD ON THE TRACKS-like folk-rock. The gambit paid off better than anyone could have expected, resulting in one of the band's most memorable, moving albums.
