Allan
Sherman became a star overnight when his debut album, 1962's My Son,
The Folk Singer, became a surprise hit and sold over a million copies in
a matter of weeks with its hilarious upending of popular folk songs
paired with new lyrics that poked broad but loving fun at
Jewish-American life. But like most overnight sensations, Sherman had
actually been working on his material for a while before he found an
audience, and There Is Nothing Like a Lox: The Lost Song Parodies of
Allan Sherman offers 13 previously unreleased tracks, most of which
predated My Son, The Folk Singer as he wrote and performed his material
for small audiences while working his day job as a producer of game
shows. Much like his debut album, these songs -- most rewrites of
Broadway favorites -- have a strong Jewish accent, celebrating the joys
of lox and chopped liver, pondering the challenges and disappointments
of cultural assimilation, reveling in the possibilities of the suffix
-stein, and studying the nuances of the geography of the Bronx. As he
became better known, Sherman would sound bolder and more confident (and
less explicitly Jewish), and on most of these recordings, it's clear
that he's still getting used to the idea of singing for an audience. But
Sherman's knack for comic lyrics was already firmly in place, finding
rich humor in the minutiae of everyday life, and these numbers,
seemingly meant for nightclub audiences, allow him to indulge in some
mild blue humor that wouldn't have made it onto a major-label album in
1962. The quality of the audio is not especially good on most of these
tracks, with an audible hiss blanketing many of the numbers, but the
sound is good enough to capture the nuances of the performances, and
Sherman's comic magic is clearly evident in these rough early tapes.
Load up a bagel with some lox and cream cheese, sit back, and relax with
these rare gems from one of the pioneers of song parody. ~allmusic
