Customer Reviews:
Unusual collection, superbly performed.......2003-04-27
Rossini went to a performance of Wagner's opera, Lohengrin, and said afterwards: I don't think you can fully appreciate Lohengrin on first hearing, and I certainly do not intend to hear it a second time! But please, do listen several times. It *is* worth it!
The combination of marimba and vocal group is unusual, but effective. You also get a couple of solos from Evelyn Glennie and 2 performances by the King's Singers without percussion accompaniment.
Street Songs is split up on the album to create an interesting program. But you can, of course program your compact disk player to hear it all at once. My favourite part of this set of songs is the interesting arrangement of Oranges and Lemons [which is mostly not the familiar tune, but it does give it a nod].
There are some great moments in Klatzow's Return of the Moon. I also enjoyed hearing the group singing Lalela Zulu. A terrific, lively set of pieces.
We have listened to The King's Singers since their first album appeared. Although there is not a single original member remaining, I think this is still identifiably of that original oeuvre. It is definitely reminiscent of some early King's Singers classical recordings.
Recommended for those who like listening to something challenging. If you have only heard their popular CDs [such as Beatles Connection or Good Vibrations] you will find this very different.
a fascinating entry in the k's catalogue.......2002-06-03
One last note- Street Songs was tenor Paul Phoenix's first recording with the group. Listeners familiar with the Singers' next album, "Fire~Water" will be able to sense that at this point, the group wasn't entirely settled into their new sound. But let it be said: this is not enough to detract from the overall sound of the album, which is excellent. Only by comparison is this discernable. Street Songs is an album I recommend to many of my musical friends, if they're ready to try something a little different, a little fun, a little new, a little unsettling, and in the end, very satisfying.
It can ,and should ,be more deep.......2000-06-11

There's no way you can squeeze four decades' worth of music onto two CDs and make it exhaustive; nonetheless, Men Are Like Streetcars provides an overview of an important and vibrant subgenre within the blues: female blues singers. This CD is an excellent sample of some of the blues' greatest divas, from pioneer belters like Billie Holiday and Victoria Spivey; to guitarist Memphis Minnie, who was more than capable of keeping up with the boys; to reigning queens like Koko Taylor and Etta James, who have continued recording and performing well into the '90s. Other highlights include Big Mama Thornton's "Hound Dog," Margie Day's "Take Out Your False Teeth Daddy," and Irma Thomas's "Good to Me." --Genevieve WilliamsCustomer Reviews:

Customer Reviews:
Ye GODS, what a voice! What a singer!.......2002-08-19
George London's voice was incredibly powerful and passionate. He was a bass-baritone, but the sound was as black as marble and as brilliant as the sun glinting off of chrome. I was surprised that he sang Broadway songs, but more so to hear them done so well. Turns out, from what I understand, that he started out in that genre, then moved on to opera. This was not the kind of voice that sounded like the common man, so if you like the `non-singing' way with this music, avoid London's versions at all costs. If, however, you love wit, charm, and clear-as-crystal diction, give him a try.
The Wagner selections catch him at his best, with a colossal version of Wotan's Farewell and an utterly searing and soul-burning version of Die Frist Ist Um from Wagner's Fliegende Hollander. This is power here, with the characters' human frailties and faults thrust out, right into our faces. I cannot recommend this album highly enough. Actually, this series, The Singers, is a treasure, and this album is one of its jewels.
