Album Details
Japanese Limited Edition in an LP-STYLE Slipcase.Amazon.com
Since the late ’70s the Cheap Suit Serenaders–an ever-changing group of hardcore 78-collecting friends–have been playing what they love–old-time jazz, folk, string-band, Hawaiian, and ragtime music. Best known for having two of the best comix artists ever in their lineup–Robert Armstrong and R. Crumb–the Cheap Suits aren’t slouches in the instrument-proficiency department (Armstrong’s musical saw e… More >>

    I bought this CD and another from this group to give to my boyfriend on his birthday. While he absolutely loves the music on this CD, Amazon shipped this and the other CD together in a small mailer envelope. Both jewel cases were cracked upon arrival. If they had been for myself, I might not have minded so much, but they were a gift and I felt terrible giving him CDs in cracked cases.

    Although I do love this album, I have one question. Recently, I found an untitled album of R. Crumb’s in my iTunes library. I have absolutely no idea what it is. There are 19 tracks and the first one is 3 minutes and 24 seconds long. If anyone can help me out in trying to figure this out, I’d really appreciate it.

    R. Crumb and the Cheap Suit Serenaders were an “old timey” band fronted by the legendary underground cartoonist. This CD is a reissue of their second album, originally titled “Number Two”. The four band members are clearly having fun here, without taking themselves too seriously. They are playing the kind of music they like, and having a blast doing it. While they aren’t really professional musicians, what they lack in technical ability, they make up for in enthusiasm. If you enjoy “old timey” music, you will enjoy this CD.

    This is a thoroughly delightful disc, one I listen to frequently. It’s also one of the two Cheap Suits’ discs that you can easily find, at least in my experience. Grab it and growl. Crumb has nice 20’s falsetto voice that does the material enjoyable justice and the instrumentals are lovingly played. Yeah, there are a few missed notes here and there, but this is just super stuff. Thanks to R. Crumb for pointing us in the direction of this music. There are hundreds and hundreds of discs coming out with rarities that used to only be heard in the basements of collectors.

    Finally, some REAL music. It had been a long time since I had heard such sincere and rustic musical farcities. Although Robert Crumb is “way out there”, his handling of his short stab at the music game proves that if you have a dream, you can”t be all bad. Nice cello parts from Terry Zwigoff. “Persian Rug” has got to be one of the best of the best. Buy it, you’ll like it!
