Music reviews of What? And Give Up Show Biz?

Music Review: Don't be fooled; definitely worth checking out
Rating: 5 Stars

I'm not quite sure what the previous reviewer was expecting from a live Spankers musical document, but I get the impression that they probably wouldn't care for much of any of The Spankers' output. I've been collecting their stuff since the late 90's, and have their full catalog and several live recordings to compare it to. Yeah, I have to admit that it may not be their best, but it was sort of an interesting premise, well-executed and produced as a snapshot of the tour, and spotlights several high points. among these, I would have to personally include Christina Marrs on 'Blue Prelude' (from HOT LUNCH), new Spanker Charlie King on 'My Baby In The CIA', Wammo on 'Leaf Blower', and the inimitable Stanley Smith, well, on just about anything. We can argue about matters of taste all day long, but I think it's just the continuation of a happy tradition for the group. If your musical tastes veer toward acoustic ragtime, blues, jazz, country, or swing, let alone an amalgam of such, with a healthy dose of humor thrown in, this may be for you.

Description of What? And Give Up Show Biz?

A man works long hours at the circus, cleaning up after the animals and giving enemas to constipated elephants. A friend, observing the menial nature of the work, offers to help the man find another job. The man replies, "What? And give up show biz?" The punch line to that worn-out vaudeville joke served as the title when the Asylum Street Spankers set up shop for two weeks in January 2008 at New York's Barrow Street Theatre to look back on their underwhelming career and complain about their place in the music world. Juicing their acclaimed live show with a double shot of theatricality, the Spankers presented a musical revue and memoir of the troupe's fourteen year history. Featuring many of the most popular songs in their large repertoire along with tales of the ups and downs of life on the road, the show ran for fourteen performances, garnering good critical response, strong ticket sales and many free drinks for the band. All fourteen shows were recorded, then edited to make this album. "What? And Give Up Show Biz?" contains adult humor, including frank discussions of sexuality, drug use and/or rock and roll. It also contains four-part harmonies, blues, country, pop, jazz, rock and hip-hop songs, inventively clever arrangements, and a musical saw.
