Dee Snider: Dee Does Broadway

Here Comes The Flood — Tue, 08 May 2012 12:11:00 GMT

Dee Snider has made a comedy album. He didn't mean to, but the former Twisted Sister front man covers album Dee Does Broadway is a joke. A bad one. Aiming for pathos and big band heavy rock and ending up with a dreary pathetic mess, this album has disaster area written all over it. Some may call it cult or camp, but it's crap. Originally envisioned as a duets album with fellow musical lover Alice Cooper (who bailed out, let's be thankful for that), Snider tries really hard to show his love for the classic songs, only succeeding to kill his darlings with a blunt axe.

He has made a new career as a broadway star. Good for him, but these songs should never have left the confinement of the theatre.

Dee Does Broadway is released on Razor and Tie.

Tracks:

Cabaret
The Ballad Of Sweeney Todd
Big Spender (with Cyndi Lauper)
Mack the Knife
Whatever Lola Wants (with Bebe Neuwirth)
Music Of The Night (with guest violinist Mark Wood)
The Joint Is Jumpin’ (with Jesse Blaze Snider)
Luck Be A Lady (with Clay Aiken)
I Get A Kick Out Of You
There Is Nothin’ Like A Dame (with the stars of “Priscilla Queen of the Desert: Will Swenson, Tony Sheldon and Nick Adams)
Razzle Dazzle
Tonight/Somewhere (with Patti LuPone)

Cover Me: Summertime

Here Comes The Flood — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 08:42:00 GMT

Summertime has been covered about 4000 times. One of the best can be found on Cheap Thrills, the classic Big Brother and the Holding Company album, with Janis Joplin on vocals. Last year Dutch blogger E-mile Says Songs Do The Matter posted 666 other versions of the George Gershwin classic. Over 50 hours of music ... some of it plain awful, but lots of pleasant surprises too.
