Album Notes

Makin' Whoopee are Tony King and Kris Ralph, two of Australia's finest songwriters. Based in Sydney but spending a lot of time in Ireland.
They have also written several songs for Andrew Strong (the incredible singer from the Commitments)
They have 3 Albums. A unique blend of Jazz, folk and Acoustic songs.
" All the elements are there. Kris has a mellifluous tone and brings her experience as an actress to all her performances.
Tony's technique as a singer and guitarist is stunning in it's versatility, agility, range and pure musicality.
I'm still amazed that they don't enjoy wider acclaim...
Do I sound like a fan? I am." Kerrie Biddell (Australia's foremost jazz singer)

This Album is imported from Australia hence the $18.97 price to cover freight.
The good news is it will still get delivered to you in a few days!

REVIEWS

Beautifully Mad will have a permanent place in your CD player!
author: Shanna Provost
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!

My God...it's just so beautiful.I shall play this incesssantly
author: Libby Lavella
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.
