Leon Redbone Artist Snapshot:

With his trademark white suit, dark glasses, and big moustache, singer Leon Redbone cuts an undeniably theatrical figure. He became well known in the mid-1970s with his nostalgic repertoire, performing jazz, blues, and pop songs from the pre-WW II era in a droll tone, but with no concessions whatsoever to contemporary musical styles. Along the way, he's earned a host of famous admirers--his records have been graced by everyone from Don McLean to Ringo Starr--without ever altering his idiosyncratic approach.

Title Note

Though dismissed by some as a novelty act (his moustache, funny hats, and outsized sunglasses don't help matters), Leon Redbone is in fact an excellent entertainer with a penchant for early-20th-century blues, ragtime, and vaudeville-flavored tunes. While his studio albums occasionally suffer from unevenness, CHAMPAGNE CHARLIE, a compilation, is solid through and through.

As usual with Redbone, the fare is lighthearted and tinged with nostalgia, and sweetened by antique arrangements and Redbone's ragged vocals. One of the distinguishing factors here is the fine choice of material, which ranges from Jelly Roll Morton ("If Somebody Would Only Love Me") to Jimmie Rogers ("T.B. Blues"). Each performance is loaded with charm, making CHAMPAGNE CHARLIE an irresistible listen, and a great first purchase for those interested in discovering this enigmatic musician.
