THE ONLY CROONER YOU WILL EVER NEED. (And Bing, of course.) SUGAR is sweet!! My favorite, if that's possible. Everthing he does is righteous. This one includes a few New Orleans jazz insturmentals.

I'M GOING DOWN TO NEW ORLEANS, MAN. Don't let the first track fool you. This is JAZZ, BABY!! Mix this one with a mint julep and a porch swing. Thanks, Rounder Records, for this reissue.

This one goes down SMOOTH like an OLD MALT SCOTCH. If you're planning on paddling around the lake with your baby, you'll need this. Parasol not included. "We were sailing along, on MOONLIGHT BAY."

Some say his best. Most of his fans would put this in the number ONE slot. If you haven't heard Leon whistle, you don't know what you're missing. "POLLY WOLLY DOODLE all day."

GETTING WEIRD and BLUE with LEON REDBONE. Redbone is drunk on SHEIK OF ARABY. But my favorite tune is DIDDY WAH DIDDY. "Somebody tell me what DIDDY WAH DIDDY means." YEAH!!

SOFT AND BLUESY. Leon does WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR better than Jiminy Cricket. You ever get the feeling you're in New Orleans Square at Disneyland? I could live there.

I'll be spending Christmas Eve on CHRISTMAS ISLAND with LEON REDBONE. "Hang your stocking on a great big coconut tree." AMAZING.
Champagne CharlieChampagne Charlie by Leon Redbone
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $4.48
Includes the cartoon instrumental, ALABAMA JUBILEE. I don't own this, but I would be remiss to exclude it. It's considered to be one of his best.
