CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description During John Lennon's separation from Yoko Ono in 1974, he romped around LA with his buddy Harry Nilsson, getting drunk and getting thrown out of nightclubs. In the midst of the party, Lennon, Nilsson, Ringo Starr, Keith Moon, and a rag-tag gang of others headed into the studio with Lennon as producer. The result was "Pussy Cats", a fascinating and often misunderstood album featuring a mix of classics and originals rearranged by Nilsson and Lennon to suit the wild mood of those infamous days. In January 2006, after finishing the final mix for their new record, "A Hundred Miles Off", The Walkmen decided to recreate "Pussy Cats". After all, it's the great buddy record of the 70's; a celebration of rock 'n' roll, good friends, alcohol, and excessive instrumentation that's right up the Walkmen's alley. So they recruited a team of friends to record and visually document the sessions. The limited edition bonus DVD features a 20-minute psychedelic documentary on the making of "Pussy Cats". Similar CDs

CD ReviewsRelax J. Simon | Canton, Michigan | 01/20/2007 (3 out of 5 stars) "This is not meant to be a major artistic statement. The Walkmen had already released an official album in 2006, "A Hundred Miles Off". This was just a fun record for the band to put together as their private studio, Mercata, was closing. It's comparable to Camper Van Beethoven's take on Fleetwood Mac's Tusk. No, it's not a great record, but it's pretty fun and crazy and interesting to listen to. As always, Hamilton Leithauser is a truly unique and exciting vocalist, and the band does manage at times to capture its usual otherworldly atmospherics. Buy it used. It's worth it." Don't let the one detractor dissaude you peterkat | 09/12/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "Great album-- a very inventive cover of one of the legendary impromptu recording sessions- the lost weekend of Lennon, Nillson, Ringo and Keith Moon. My appreciation for this album deepened hearing the Walkmen play the album, track by track, live. The Walkmen are one of the more dynamic bands out there, consistenly reinterpreting their own material live. Disregard the one negative review that dismisses the album out of hand because it's a cover. Kudos to bands that elect to cover a fairly obscure project, and do it well. Highly recommended!" GREAT darkclown | Cooper City, FL United States | 06/23/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "This was a great album. Obviously a cover, but don't let that bother you. The Walkmen have always had their own way of doing things, and don't really conform to the typical rock albums. It takes effort to listen to their albums, and this is no exception. There were no standards for this album ... it was just FUN. It's SUPPOSED to be derivative -- it's a COVER!"
