Music Reviews of Jean Shepherd and Other Foibles
Music Review: Not Representative of Shep's Greatness
Rating: 2 Stars
Maybe I'm in a minority, but this disc really left me flat. While it had its clever moments, I found the presentation to be rather stagey, almost hoakey, like Shep wrote out his bits verbatim and gave them to Mister Rogers to read. Where's the inspired downtown 1950s hip ad libbing and quirkiness? You'll see what I mean if you compare this disc to the other Shep album that's been reissued on CD "Will Failure Spoil." That's the one to get.Jean Shepherd was a radio genius, but you won't hear that here.
