Free Music Notes for My Son, The Greatest: The Best of Allan Sherman
Free Music Review: Nice disk, but for a better deal get everything
Hit: 4 Stars
This disc for it's time was worth the price since Warner was sitting on their hands giving up the right to Allan Sherman's original albums to be released on CD. However, now that Rhino (the manufacturer of this disc) has acquired those rights and released his original 6 albums as CDs in "My Son, The Box" along with MANY previously unreleased tracks, this disc becomes window dressing as all these songs are on 1 or more of those 6 discs. I bought that set here, and have since given my copy of this disc away to a friend to sample the great Allan's work. My advice, buy that set and the CD of Peter and the Commissar (another classic Allan Sherman LP of yesteryear), and you will have enough of the great one to last a lifetime. Allan be praised :-)
My Son, The Greatest: The Best of Allan Sherman Poster
This collection gathers 19 of Sherman's humorous story-songs. The comic uses original lyrics and pre-existing tunes to poke fun at television shows and consumer items, to send-up the kids and generally riff on early and mid-'60s American pop culture. On tracks like "Pop Hates the Beatles" and "Crazy Downtown," his subject is the generation gap. "Al 'n Yetta" portrays a TV-dependent couple while "Lotsa Luck" describes the complicated hassles of dealing with faulty TVs and new-fangled tape recorders. Sherman assumed his audience had a little knowledge of history, too. On "Good Advice" and "You Went the Wrong Way, Old King Louie," he sings about inventors and French history, respectively. It's hard to imagine contemporary comedians working the historical beat. "One Hippopatami" is a delightfully goofy festival of wordplay that requires only a love of language and a tolerance for schmaltz. --Fred CisternaPop Music CDs
