Title: The Resident's Miss Their Mark
Product review: It is unfortunate that such a good idea as the Residents doing reworking of other's music did not work out any better than the first few cuts of the Stars and Hank recording. This recording, like Stars and Hank, was originally released as a plastic LP with one side being the George Gershwin and the other a reworking of the James Brown "Live at the Apollo".It starts out promising enough, with an air siren melding into the first few notes of George Gershwin's masterpiece "Rhapsody in Blue" (a decent job by the Residents). Unfortunately, the rest of the Gershwin works pale quickly.The James Brown side is amusing, for a bit... but never quite makes it as a decent parody of the works of that troubled artist.Two stars, but not recommended.
