Wig in a Box
I saw a documentary on cable about this CD benefit project for a school. I really enjoyed the music and put my order in. The tops on this CD is "Wig in a Box" performed by The Polyphonic Spree. It is an upbeat, uplifting, slightly silly, what-the-heck, pop tune that gets into your brain and makes you sing along. At the least you will smile while you listen. Another plus is the raucous rock of "Sugar Daddy" performed by Frank Black. Lots of off beat stuff and some big named musical talents like Cyndi Lauper contribute. No matter what your musical tastes you will probably find something on this CD to rip an MP3 and put on your player.
Free Music Review: I love Cyndi...the Breeders...
Hit: 3 Stars
About half the songs are really good...They Might Be Giants was suprisingly disappointing.
The Breeders and Cyndi Lauper really take center stage with this disc!
Free Music Review: A tribute that doesn't deliver
Hit: 2 Stars
I was SO MOVED when I first watched Hedwig that I bought the DVD, Soundtrack and Broadway Soundtrack. What a masterful bit of writing and performance; just astonishing. After I listened to this tribute, I just couldn't write a positive review. The magic and emotion is not there. The feeling is gone.
I know this review is short, but not much really needs to be said other than: Save your money and buy the original.
Free Music Review: Can't capture the original
Hit: 2 Stars
While I love the music of Hedwig. I don't think these artists can't quite capture the magic of John Cameron Mitchell and Stephan Trask. Some are ok. But for the most part. It's just bad. The artists who contribute are excellent artists but their attempts to recreate the Hedwig magic is either mediorce or just plain bad.
