CD Reviews

Post-Modern Yiddish Rocker
12/22/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This cd defies all categorization and all expectations. Wolf Krakowski uncovers early 20th century songs written out of passion, desparation, and joy -- and sung in Yiddish. Krakowski is a bluesy rocker, so both musically and lyrically these songs speak directly to us, in 21st century. His voice is sometimes smoky, sometimes plaintive, and often balls-out belting. He assembled top musicians from New York and all over New England. Listen for great Hammond B3 from Brian Mitchell (played for Bob Dylan), sax solos from rhythm and blues master Charles Neville, and a rhythm section that will get you out of your seat dancing from the second the laser hits the disk."
