Free Music Review: Tiny Tim Rocks! Not really, but it's fun...
Hit: 3 Stars
To my knowledge, this is the Eternal Troubadour's first live album since the (almost) career-destroying "Concert In Fairyland" of '68/'69. If it is, then it's the first one Tiny believed in at the time. "Unplugged" on Tomanna and "Live In London" on Durtro came a bit later, in fact, a previously unreleased live set from *1968* has been announced by Rhino Handmade, so Tiny and his fans should be on familiar grounds.The New Duncan Imperials are the backup and Tiny seems pleased with their support - he mentions them more than once during the set. Hats off to 'em - they actually managed to stay in sync with the adventurous Mr. Tim.
The opener is nice, "Are You Lonesome Tonight", prefaced by the expected historical narrative. There's a verse included I've never heard, being used to the Presley and Jolson versions. His baritone works well and the monolgue bridge is superbly handled. Tiny is really a master at such business. [Fans check out his "The Great Pretender" from an Australian release for another great spoken part of a song].
"Mother" [aka "Mammy, I'll Sing About You" from the Al Jolson movie "Go Into Your Dance" from '35] is another relevant selection, well performed.
"Tennessee Waltz" will bring a smile, in it's (if you will) Crosbyesque style. Tim does the best early Crosby of anyone. The tune is in a medley "Back In The Saddle" and...hey, that's Tiny.
The Jerry Lee Lewis numbers are okay if you dug his international chart-maker on "Great Balls Of Fire" from way back when. The drummer has some strong moments here, but Tiny's strength remains with melodramatic ballads.
"Tip Toe.."/"Lollipop" [aka "On The Good Ship Lollipop"] is pretty decent. This medley was performed on his first appearance on Rowan and Martin's Laugh In. It's a fun entry. It's a bit of TT nostalgia amidst all the recollections of his own idols from the turn of the century.
"I Believe" is back to baritone and an interesting suggestion of what Jolson might have sounded like doing the tune.
There's a long silent section between the closer "When The Saints Go Marching In" and an actual voice mail message from the star.
