Free Music Review: Long Awaited and Worth The Price
Hit: 5 Stars
I've read the "reviews" above and except for one, the other two are obviously written by very young people. I guess when something is taken out of the context of time some people just won't get it. Kookie Byrnes was a phenomenon in his own right, the first real tv heart-throb and a cool cat; it was fun being a teen in the 50s and listening to Kookie Byrnes' WB album. Don Ralke's lyrics are hilarious and this album, albeit only 27 minutes in length, is long on fun, if the people who above or anyone who may listen to this classic 50s album of music can't make any sense of it, then you are nowhere.It was 1959, what can one say. It would have been nice to have a couple of bonus tracks, like Byrnes recording of "Cool Yule," that we who have waited for years for this album to be released are pretty happy just to have it like it was. Kookie Byrnes was never trying to compete with anyone, especially not Buddy Holly. He was himself and he was okay. If you can't understand why "Kookie's Mad Pad" is just the coolest cut, or why "Saturday Night On Sunset Strip" is so nostalgic, then you need to get yourself a time machine and go back to the Fifties and live. This album makes you remember how much fun it was to be in an open convertible driving down Sunset Boulevard in the 50s and early 60s. I can just see Dino's! And Byrnes parking cars at 77. You cats are a lot of SQUARES. If you like lounge music this collection of novelty songs is a gas! Kookie Byrnes doesn't deserve the bad reviews by any sixteen year old know-nothing brat in 2004. What do you know anyway? This is a good buy! Buy it and escape to a time when it was fun being alive. This is the Fifties personified. Kookie's duets with Joanie Sommers are a groove. And "Kookie, Kookie, Lend Me Your Comb" is a classic hit, like it or not, you boring children of this generation who don't know who you are anyway! At least back in the Fifties girls didn't look like a bunch of sailors with tattoos nor did any of them wear rings in their noses like so many hogs. This generation is having a nervous breakdown anyway. I'll take the 50s when people like Byrnes had a sense of humor. Know why no novelty songs are recorded anymore? BECAUSE YOU ARE ALL JUST TOO DAMNED SERIOUS!
