WHISTLING IN THE WIND resembles a 1940s radio broadcast minus the static. Like much of Leon Redbone's output, this 1988 recording travels down nostalgic pathways to revisit ragtime, swing, early country, and Tin Pan Alley. Such revivalism might be ho-hum were it not for Redbone's distinctive baritone, ease and charm as a stylistic interpreter, and theatrical flair (the fedora, sunglasses, and Groucho Marx moustache don't hurt).
The influence of songwriter Stephen Foster can be heard on the album's opener, "Dancin' On Daddy's Shoes" (which features a very charming backup chorus). The increasing influence of roots country on Redbone's music can be heard on "Bouquet of Roses" and on "Settin' By the Fire" (the vocal guest spot by Merle Haggard on this latter cut makes it one of the album's highlights). The lounge/Hawaiian vibe of "My Little Grass Shack" features a vocal turn from none other than Ringo Starr, and dares the listener to sing along with its lyrics about the island's difficult-to-pronounce tropical fish. With its wit, charm, and mixed bag of classic American influences, WHISTLING IN THE WIND is eminently listenable fare.

Principally recorded at Media Sound Studios, New York, New York.
This 1986 Leon Redbone release has more of what fans of the mustachioed, fedora-wearing performer have come to expect. With his nostalgic homages to the styles of yesteryear--ragtime, swing, and blues among them--Redbone has a sweet, familiar appeal for most listeners. But while he's largely a revivalist, he also has a fair ...
| | Leon Redbone Up A Lazy River CD (1992) Reissue
Whistling In The Wind album
$9.69
Idiosyncratic singer/songwriter Leon Redbone spent the 1990s building upon his sizable cult following with more uncanny arrangements of vintage pop and jazz tunes, while simultaneously unveiling a few of his own compositions. Sporting an unmistakable and remarkably limber baritone, Redbone continues his fusion of Americana with some distinct and flavorful overtones that would not sound out of place in the Django Reinhardt and Stephane ...

Whistling In The Wind CD music
$9.69 
Seven years passed between 1994's Whistling in the Wind and Leon Redbone's next studio album, Any Time -- which, like his previous recordings, demonstrates that the singer was born in the wrong time. Redbone should have been born in 1900 or 1905, but lucky for listeners, he wasn't -- and his nostalgia has made for a lot of enjoyable moments. On this 2001 release, Redbone continues his love affair with the jazz, pop, and folk of the '20s and '30s. The crooner takes listeners back to a time when Herbert Hoover or Franklin Delano Roosevelt was in the White House, and he maintains a relaxed, ...
