Borsht With Bread, Brothers

Klezmer with vocals, violin, guitar, bass, accordion, sax, and perc. Contemporary arrangements of traditional melodies puts a fresh spin on old material. Good stuff, great notes explain all.

*1. A happy, quirkily tripping mid/uptempo dance.
*2. Starts slow, gets midtempo w/unpredictable melody. Nicely odd.
3. Slow vocals, lyrical strings, sort of melancholy. But lovely.
4. Midtempo folk dance, picks up w/some nice solos.
5. Slow, romantic & full of longing. Fragile & pretty.
*6. A lone violin, then drums & vocals. A bit martial.
7. Relaxed yet syncopated polka-esque dance. Down/midtempo.
8. Husky fem vox, downtempo & a bit wailing & tragic.
*9. Starts slow, gets into a catchy, midtempo dance.
10. Starts w/a slow dance, then an uptempo whirl.
11. Mid/downtempo vocals to an elegant wedding dance.
12. Whistle & fiddle, slow, gives way to a happy little bounce.
