The title cut of Evil Ukulele is an undiscovered classic, an epic tragedy, a four string gotterdammerung.
Along with it are 13 other pieces, some classics, some not so classic but instantly familiar, the Jimi Hendrix and partridge family cuts for example. The result is a collection of some of my favorite ukulele songs using not only soprano uke but also baritone uke, requinto, guitar and bass all layered up into a musical fruitcake of multi-stringed pandemonium.
You can use the same CD to get your party started and then to clear everyone out when it gets late. The Evil Ukulele is more than a CD, it's a cultural manifesto!

Loved this CD...especially the quirky tunes like I Think I Love You. Great creativity and very fun. Hope you do more like this one.

marvelous, inventive playing; singing only his mother could love
author: john McFadden
This is about as raw and basic as the recording process gets! Inventive playing, a wonderful spirit, lotsa fun. But his voice is so (purposefully?) wretched (as if he listened to a lot of R. Crumb in his mother's womb) that my spouse makes me turn it off: the album is now my secret, guilty pleasure.

Fun stuff that will have you humming along!

Great ukulele playing and fun songs. You'll be saying,"I didn't know you could play that on the ukelele". Plus two of the tunes have some of the best Django-jazz uke that I've ever heard.

Fun gypsy uke music, as he says
author: Wine Bottle Books
It's definitly a mixed bag--some of it gets pretty silly, and some of it (like the Django-inspired one and J'attendre) are really great, with excellent riffs and stellar uke playing. His versions of Purple Haze and New York New York are some of those "so wrong it's oh-so-right" songs we all love. The most important thing about this CD is, if you listen to it, you will certainly smile, probably laugh and definitly find it impossible to stay at all depressed!
