| | Hatari! Soundtrack CD (2 Customer Reviews)
Coming off a double Oscar win for his Breakfast at Tiffany's score, Henry Mancini produced this score for the Howard Hawks-directed, John Wayne-starring safari comedy. This is at first a fun blend of jazz and Afro-exotica, jungle drums mixed with a classic bop combo. Elsewhere, however, the soundtrack opts for some pleasant, but very Western jazz, only stopping for the African instrument-sampler "The Sounds of Hatari," which features some nice treated piano. The filmmakers were probably hoping that the Mercer and Carmichael song "Just for Tonight" would be as much a success as Tiffany's "Moon River," but if Hatari! is memorable for anything, it's for the incredibly goofy "Baby Elephant Walk," which has gone on to be infamous musical shorthand for kookiness of any stripe. Get this tune in your head and it sticks. ~ Ted Mills

Fremantle-based vocalist/guitarist John Butler is Australia's answer to jam-oriented singer-songwriters such as Dave Matthews and Ben Harper. Butler leads his tight ensemble through an impressive set of folk-tinged rock on 2007's GRAND NATIONAL. Featuring bold, organic production by Mario Caldato, Jr. (the Beastie Boys, Beck), the album showcases the rhythmic mastery of bassist Shannon Birchall and drummer Michael Barker, while fully spotlighting Butler's amiable vocals and deft work on acoustic and electric guitars and other stringed instruments.

Hatari! Soundtrack songs
$16.55
This is a very good high-quality release from Chadbourne, among his best of late for Leo Records. Don't take the credit to the Chadbournes too literally, after all, even the good doctor doesn't, since he very liberally renames past bands the Chadbournes (as he amusingly explains in his liner notes). In any case, Honky-Tonk im Nachtlokal has little to do (beside the fact that the focus is on country & western music) with LSD C&W: The History of the Chadbournes in America, the first album credited to the Chadbournes. This new outing culls recordings from various concerts with various lineups, dating between 1996 and 2002. What marks this album out of several similar collections released on small, smaller and CD-ROM labels (several of which can be found on Chadbourne's own home imprint House of Chadula) is the very good sound quality of the recordings -- despite an unusually quiet mastering job -- and the sharpness of the performances, making this the album of choice for anyone looking for an update on Chadbourne's take on the C&W repertoire. Honky-Tonk features four groups. Up for the first four tracks are Olivier Bernet (guitar), Victor Marco (guitar), Cédric Privé (violin) and Jérôme Renault (drums), all from the Wild Bull, "the closest thing [the Doctor] could find to a rockabilly band in Basque territory." After a shaky "Flight of the Bumblebee" (this wouldn't really be a Chadbourne album if it actually stuck to its main theme, right?), this ensemble delivers a very spirited rendition of "Up Against the Wall, You Redneck Mother," one of the highlights. The trio of Chadbourne, Chris Cornetto (keyboards, trumpet, electronics) and Billy Kettle (drums) is slightly less convincing, mostly due to keyboard patches sounding out of place, but their take on the classic Rodgers & Hammerstein song "People Will Say We're in Love" deserves mention ...
