Title: Gentile or Jew... Buy This Album Already!
Review: On UNORTHODOX, two schlemiels revel in their Jewishness in a fun, weisenheimer way. The humor is upfront and center; sample some of the songs on-line (or just read the song titles) and you'll have a very good idea of where this album is going. It's lively material and there's some good word play. I suspect that most listeners will either want to listen and sing-along, or leave the room.Of course, with songs like these, one worries the act will be a one-trick pony. Call it the Weird Al Syndrome: You listen to a funny song, it's funny, you're done. Time to sell the CD.But if you save mini-classics like "They Tried to Kill Us (We Survived, Let's Eat") for annual events like Passover, the songs will stay fresh and may even take on the hallowed sheen of other annual holiday tunes like "White Christmas." (Okay, bad comparison. But you catch my drift!)NOTE: This album does contain adult lyrics.
