Tiny Tim went to Nashville and cut this collection in the 1980's that included "Country Queen". At the same time, he plundered his incredible treasure trove of forgotten songs from pop music's pre-history and with the Nashville cats in tow, he recorded "It's A Long Way To Tipperary", "Prisoner Of Love", "Sweet Rosie O'Grady", Bill Bailey" and of course "Tiptoe Through The Tulips".
"A rather disappointing foray, as by the time it was recorded, Tiny's voice was straining heavily to meet the intended octaves. Best to skip this disc and go for his earlier efforts or the live performances. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't have purchased this CD."

"A very enjoyable studio recording from the late 80's. Most of the songs are sung in Tiny Tim's impressive baritone, as opposed to his trademark "high voice." The arrangements are serviceable, but it is Mr. Tim's infectious enthusiasm for the old songs which really brings them to life. No rock or experimental numbers here. ("Country Queen" qualifies as a novelty tune, but it's a perfect vehicle for Tiny's vocal prowess.)"

"This album is a huge disappointment. And to think I paid 20 bucks for this 7 years ago. Done on the cheap with synthesised keyboards, this has absolutley none of the character, energy and charm OR real instruments of Tiny's first two albums. His ressurection of 'Tiptoe' was a waste of recording tape. Listen to the original to hear how it should sound. This CD was relegated to the box in my spare room and never ventures out. If you want to find out about Tiny Tim, start with 'God bless Tiny Tim' and give this one a miss. For the diehards only."

"This album was recorded by Tiny Tim in the mid-80s. It is not one of his better albums. Tiny is the same as he ever was, but the instrumental backing is sub-par. It is mostly synthesized sounds, and Tiny always works better when he has live musicians to play off of. The remake of "Tiptoe Thru the Tulips" is far inferior to Tiny's original hit version. Occasionally, Tiny's enthusiasm for these old songs comes through, and his performance overshadows the poor musical backing. But overall, this is not a very good album."
Good, not best

"Alot of people dont like this tiny tim album, and with good reason. There are 2 reasons Tiny Tim is famous. His high falsetto voice, and his ukelele. 1st off, the high voice is found only in certain areas, and instead we get a deep baritone. Secondly, Tiny doesnt even touch his ukelele, not even ONCE. Instead we get a synthesized backing band. This was when tiny was struggling to make a comeback and a backing band was hard to come by. Granted, the renditions of these goldie oldies are pretty spot on, but thats part of the reason this album isnt absolutely wonderful. There isnt enough of tiny's unique personality, but its an easy listen."
