Free Music Notes for The Remains of Tom Lehrer

Free Music Review: Pretty much a complete collection of his works.....
Hit: 5 Stars

Okay, I was also annoyed at some of the repetition, but if you look carefully (and check wiki), you will find that the repetition was the result of them adding on a couple of complete live albums. They put 5 of his albums on the CDs, and added a few of his more recent songs. It may seem like they are just randomly tossed on the CDs, but they are simply his complete albums in order followed by the more recent stuff. The albums include:

Songs By Tom Lehrer
More of Tom Lehrer
Tom Lehrer Revisited
An Evening Wasted with Tom lehrer
That was the Year that Was

Then they added the Richard Hayman Sessions from 1960 which are 4 songs from other albums, and they added 9 more recent songs that weren't on any of his albums.

So, it is about 4 albums worth of unique music. Plus 2 live albums playing the same music. Plus a cool book with lyrics and a case. Admittedly, I'd like to have the albums separated each on their own disks, but I wouldn't want to pay extra for it.

The amazing thing to me about Lehrer is that his work stands the test of time. 'That was the year that was' should have been dated after a decade, but the themes apply well to modern problems 40-50 years later.

The Remains of Tom Lehrer Poster

This three-CD set collects many of Tom Lehrer's tunes, described by Time magazine as "brilliant and coruscating parodies," bringing back a bygone era when the "liberal consensus," as Lehrer calls them, knew who they were and could, therefore, laugh at both themselves and the well-defined enemy. Delivering clever, witty rhymes about topical subjects was Leher's strength. In "Wernher Von Braun" [the Nazi German scientist who later worked for NASA], Lerher sings: "I'll sing you a tale of Wernher Von Braun?/ A man whose allegiance is ruled by expedience?/ Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down?/ 'That's not my department,' says Wernher Von Braun." Using a rollicking piano as accompaniment, Lehrer will remind some of Mark Russell, the current political satirist, but Lehrer's more pointed humor and grating, nasal voice make him a much tougher listen. His Jimmy Durante-like delivery, however, doesn't completely trump his truly quick mind and clever use of language. --Wally Shoup
