Janet Klein and her Parlor Boys


What could possibly nicer than naughty obscure and lovely songs from the 1910s, 20s, and 30s? The answer is nothing. No, I'm not going to argue with you. There is nothing nicer than naughty songs. I'm not sure if the band would appreciate the comparison, but their sound really reminds me of the Squirrel Nut Zippers' less blazingly fast, more rustic, more laid-back tunes. And Janet Klein plays a ukulele. And their songs are naughtier, too. Good things come to those who wait...Janet and her pals have finally completed their collection of ragtime, jazz, and other assorted gems from the era of speakeasies - they'll be selling the CD at the show...
