Title: A PIECE OF HISTORY
Review: This CD is a piece of history that is barely remembered today, but helped to form what was to become American Popular music in the 20th century. These are original recordings from the years 1905-1924 of Jewish vaudevillians doing their musical routines, complete with over-the-top accents. I'm Jewish but I am not offended by any of the subject matter, which is very stereotypical of the day (songs like "Cohen Owes Me 97 Dollars" or "My Friends, Morris And Max"). The earliest songs were lifted off of Edison wax cylinder recordings. Some of the songs have pops, hisses and scratches, but you will never find any of these recordings anywhere else.
