Music reviews of Crumb
Music Review: A great album, but...
Rating: 5 Stars
a more accurate discription of the album is in order. Terry Zwigoff (the director of the film, fellow member of Cheap Suit Serinaders,friend of Robert Crumb, and fellow 78's of 20's & 30's music collector) wanted to use King Oliver, Tiny Parham, and Bix Beiderbecke for the soundtrack, but a restricted film budget didn't allow it. So he got a friend that played really great piano rags (David Boeddinghaus), & a street musician guitarist he met and then played with weekly at Pauline's in San Francisco (Craig Ventresco). They perform all but 2 of the songs. Terry also brought in 2 really good songs recorded in the 30's by Geechie Wiley ("Last Kind Word Blues" and "Skinny Leg Blues"). In both cases of song & performance, the Publisher is unknown, but the songs are great. David Boeddinghaus & Craig Ventresco are not members of the Cheap Suit Serinaders, and CSS is nowhere on this album.
However, the music is great. First of all, I've never heard of either one of these musicians, but I would definately pay to see them (some intimate small places like "The Ice House", "The Troubidor", "House of Blues", etc.)
Second, I've heard lots of musicians on stage that weren't famous that have sounded very good. A few that come to mind are Casey Anderson, Peter Alsop, Teddy Lee Hooker, and Joe Marchiano. Just because you're not well known doesn't mean you're not good. David plays piano better than Joshua Rifkin, and Craig sounds every bit as good a Leo Kotke.
Third, I'm not sure how much longer this album will be available, so it might be worth your while to check it out.
