Makin Whoopee’s latest musical offering, Beautifully Mad, is a testament to the ever-deepening journey Kris Ralph and Tony King are taking into their creative consciousness. We’ve heard their successful pop records over the years and their brilliant covers on Makin Whoopee Live; now, with Beautifully Mad we get to nestle back and soak up poignant lyrics, lilting melodies and a richness of spirit that emanates from the all-original album. Worth special mention are the haunting title track, the lilting Gypsy’s Kiss, the taste of Ralph humour mixed with a dash of irony on Just for Two and the compelling/taunting lyrics of To Do Nothing. Beautifully Mad will have a permanent place in your CD player!

The music! The music is beyond wonderful. There are no words. I sat down immediately and listened from start to finish....the fact that there is an album that can allow one to do this without distraction is in and of itself, miraculous. You both have such a special gift that inspires me more than I think you could ever know. You say such profound things intelligently without preaching and with a humility that is so touching. I am such a big fan of your songs.The arrangements are superb, and flawless. Nothing gets in the way of the song....not one time! That is so hard to do. The mixes are really good...the vocal recordings are intimate and warm.My God...it's just so beautiful. You should be so proud I shall play this incessantly.
