So I admit, I’m a thief. I took this CD, I stole it from the poor paupers that had it before, it was a cheap move and I’m so very sorry because I took a listen and nearly died a little several times every time I listened to it. I’m not sure if anyone reads this anymore. Maybe if I write some stuff about dinosaurs and jet planes and The Box Tops people may listen in? I doubt it.
Anyway, I present this to you in the full knowledge that this is an extremely hilarious, cliched and terrible, album. It’s amazing in that it’s cheesier than a cheese plate and grapes fed to a fat man. It’s King Pleasure from the wonderful album King Pleasure Sings/Annie Ross Sings, but Annie Ross is clearly a dumb bitch (don’t sue, sweet sue) so King Pleasure it is. I’ll try to describe it: jazz, swing, campy doo-wop, and an inspiration for Van Morrison (so says Wikipedia…) Take a listen, it’s easier than talking.
