THIS IS A GREAT CD. TINY TIM COVERS A LOT OF GROUND. THE SOUND QUALITY IS CRYTAL CLEAR. VERY LITTLE OF HIS TRADEMARK FALSETTO. INSTEAD WE GET TINY THE CROONER WITH LOTS OF VIBRATION IN HIS THROAT. NO-ONE COULD TOP THE BEATLES ON "GIRL" BUT TINY MAKES IT HIS OWN. HIS VERSION OF "STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN" IS THE SAME ARRANGEMENT USED BY PAT BOONE ( IN A METAL MOOD ). THE SONG IS JAZZ! FOR TRADITIONAL TINY TIM FANS THERE IS "OVER THE RAINBOW". HE STRUGGLES SLIGHTLY WITH THE HIGH NOTES BUT ULTIMATELY THIS CD IS A TRIUMPH FOR THE LATE, GREAT TINY TIM. GOOD LINER NOTES AND PHOTO OF TINY SHOPPING IN WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE DIAPERS AISLE. THIS IS GOOD STUFF. THIS IS ONE OF THE RARE TINY TIM CD THAT MAY BE ENJOYED BY A LARGER AUDIENCE. I RATE IT HIGH BECAUSE I "GET" IT AND MY REVIEW IS GEARED TOWARDS TIM FANS. IF YOU DON"T HAVE A VERY OPEN MIND OR ARE NOT ALREADY A TIM FAN BUYER BEWARE. THOSE WHO HAVE JUST DISCOVERED TINY TIM FROM SHOWS SUCH AS HOWARD STERN WILL FIND THIS A GREAT STARTER CD.
Tiny Tim is an acquired taste for most and a natural fit for some. The same goes for Brave Combo, of which I've been a fan since first buying their CD "A Night on Earth." "Girl" is retro, making it an excellent fit for both Tim and the Combo. "That Old Feeling" and "Stardust" are remarkable tunes that show Tim's voice at its best. "Sly Cigarette" is more of a show tune, while "Stairway to Heaven" (yes, that one), is a bit of jazz vocal. The strangest rendition is that of "Hey Jude," given a quick Latin rhythm here. The title tune, "Girl," has grown on me. For the most part, the excellent Brave Combo plays the role of able backup band and remains in the background, giving Tiny Tim center stage. This album may not be for everyone, but it's worth everyone hearing.
