Music reviews of Shut Your Mouth and Open

Music Review: Ick.
Rating: 2 Stars

What we have here is a cd that is mostly a gentleman reading a fair-quality essay about Lenny Bruce, interspersed with some recordings of Lenny and recordings of interviews with others about Lenny.

The recordings are all OBVIOUSLY taken from old vinyl records, with lots of scratches. That's right, that means that there is no new material to be found here. I also wonder if all the rights for these recordings were arranged.

The brief Lenny snippets don't often even go with the essay being read, and the whole pile of slop has some attempted important-sounding synth music added in.

It is not a fun listen. I do not recommend it, except for completists.
