Frankroll, goin go go, this is the next of his Capitol records concept albums, after #177.
You probably know the sound:
"hey here's a line..." [horns go bwabaap]
"and a second line..." [horns go bwababapap]
"and here's the punchline!" [horns go BWABAP! BA! BAP!]
I think you have to be in the right mood for this. Its easy for it to sound tinny and hokey, but if you manage to lower your irony and buy into it, it suddenly becomes pretty damn cool. The singing is obviously excellent, and subtly inflected, its all groove, all swagger. I happened to be in the right mood for this, and it made a nice counterpoint to the morose (but probably better, in the long run) In the Wee Small Hours 3.5/5
