Music reviews of Rock'n Polka
Music Review: Lots of fun!
Rating: 4 Stars
Look, Jimmy Sturr is not hip or cool - but his music is very enjoyable. His arrangements tend to be loud and definitely reflect an understanding of rock music - which makes them great for playing at parties or in the car.

Description of Rock'n Polka
From the first notes of "Splish Splash" to the last chord of "Bye Bye Love," Rock 'n Polka is a polka party with a twist - a rock & roll twist. Multiple Grammy winner Jimmy Sturr and his Orchestra have transformed classic hits from the '50s and '60s into irresistible toe-tapping polkas (with a few waltzes thrown in for good measure). Featuring guest vocalists Willie Nelson, Alison Krauss, Lee Greenwood, Larry Chance & The Earls and Blue Highway and guitar legend Duane Eddy, Rock 'n Polka is sure to please polka and rock & roll fans alike.This product is manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.
With more 100 albums under his belt, along with a dozen Grammys, Jimmy Sturr is king of polka. Not content to reside in his fiefdom, the singer/clarinetist/bandleader has looked to other genres for material over his four decades in show business, including a 1979 disco album. Here Sturr sets his polka orchestra loose on a batch of 1950s and 1960s rock 'n' roll classics with the help of such guests as Willie Nelson, Duane Eddy, Alison Krauss, and Lee Greenwood. The songs fly by in a hurry for the most part, with "Splish Splash" and "Personality" starting things off with a great 1-2 punch. Displaying a wistful sense of depth, Sturr slows things down for tender readings of "Since I Met You Baby" (with Willie Nelson) and "The Great Pretender." Sure this is music coming to a state fair, cruise, wedding or Polish pride day near you, but it's also a lot of fun to listen to and even better for quick two-step around the party. --Tad Hendrickson
