Broadjam Artist: Margie & Art Corey
Song: Kitschy Kitschy Kool
Reviewer: Nobody’s Mule
Positive Comments: Very cool blues. Reminiscent of the kind of hip beatnik blues of Ricki Lee Jones, Tom Waits, Mose Allison. Terrific vocal, both tone and phrasing. Strong instrumentation, especially the bass, and the saxophone improvising over the beat. The kind of beat that makes you want to snap your fingers and order another whiskey on the rocks in a dark nightclub with a small stage and a single spotlight focused on a singer backed by a quartet playing in the shadows. The arrangement nicely fits the feel of the sound, and the quality of the recording as heard in the headphones is excellent.
Constructive Comments: Nothing much to change here. To nitpick, you might think about redoing the opening vocalizing, which doesn’t do much for me in terms of getting into the song. The female vocal at the end though works just fine.
