Leon Redbone (1949–2019)

C+ (Okay).

A lot of this is bad, with some original songs and awkward duets. It picks up a lot near the end though. "I Ain't Got Nobody" is one of Redbone's all time best tracks, and probably my favorite version of that song.

(Jul 2024)

Funky, classic old jazz songs played with classic jazz instruments. Includes (Mama's Got a Baby Named) Te Na Na, A Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight, Sweet Mama Papa's Getting Mad, Step It Up and Go, Your Cheatin' Heart, Seduced, Why, My Blue Heaven, Extra Blues, When You Wish Upon a Star, Prairie Lullaby
