Product Description
Chronique amazon.fr
Si les encyclopédies musicales - de rock ? - sont si discrètes, voire muettes sur Leon Redbone, c'est que lui-même n'est pas non plus un artiste volontiers porté à la vocifération. Redbone fredonne, sifflote, yodèle et grommelle ses couplets comme pour dire son indifférence au tumulte ambiant. Pour y apporter même un apaisement plein d'élégance. On vient à la musique de Leon Redbone plus qu'elle ne viendra, elle, vous traquer. Et ses albums, surtout les premiers, semblent exister hors du temps, sinon celui du début du siècle. Une époque où seuls les hommes et leurs instruments originels - en bois, en métal,etc. - étaient seuls dignes de monter sur scène. C'était avant les amplis. On écoutait le banjo gratter une mélodie pleine de sensibilité, les hommes chantaient des harmonies un peu roucoulantes, et le chanteur principal saluait en baissant la tête à la fin de la chanson. C'est en 1977 que Redbone enregistre Double Time, une collection de traditionnels des années 30 où l'on retrouve les signatures de Jimmie Rodgers ("Mississippi River Blues") ou de Jelly Roll Morton ("Winin Boy Blues"). Et ce swing léger, ponctué de cuivres suaves et d'un piano cristallin apporte un bien-être qu'appréciera l'amateur de sensations douces et de qualité. --José Ruiz

This review is from: Double Time (Audio CD)
I had a copy of this originally as vinyl, in the bad old days of vinyl records.Mr. Redbone's music is an interesting and balanced mix of quirky and soothing - nice to reconnect with this offering of his again 30 years later.

A lot of fun, makes you happy kind of music,
By A Customer
This review is from: Double Time (Audio CD)
Uniquely Leon is this jazz trumpet style voice. His tunes are light and easy and lift your spirit with their simple lyrics and fun tempos. If you listen to music for fun, you will love this album.

leon in the early years,
By evan valentine (athens, ga) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Double Time (Audio CD)
i believe this is the second leon redbone album, and it is one of his best efforts. if you are unsure about leon redbone, listen to a sample of "diddy wah diddy," the first track off this album. if you only like serious musicians, you will not like this. there is no doubt this album was fun to make, but the instrumentalists are all professional-caliber musicians and the arrangements (all arrangements on any of his albums are by leon himself) are minimal and superb.this album covers classics from hank williams to the authorless "jelly roll baker," and makes all the songs sound like his own. this album also contains one of my personal favorites, "the sheik of araby," which contains at least a full minute of nonsensical mouth effects in the style of fats waller. this is probably my second favorite leon redbone cd, and i own every last one of them.
