Synopsis

Product Description
26 Obscure, Naughty and Lovely Songs from the 1910s, 20's and 30's!Ukulele wunderkind and chanteuse Janet Klein has completed an independent release of her debut CD. This first CD features Entertaining Songs, Emotive Ballads,and Hot Chansonettes.Her historical approach to naughty material from the 20's and 30's blends well with her knowing yet kittenish demeanor. Inspired by vitaphone musical short films from the 20's, poetry and performance art, Klein is a gifted and enchanting entertainer, with a sweet sexiness that has been described as Betty Boop meets Betty Page.With loads of elegance, charm and poise, Klein wraps us around her little finger and leaves us wolf-whistling for more. Refreshing, unique and funny, Klein sings forgotten gems from the teens, 20's and 30's, such as Banana In Your Fruit Basket, If I Can't Sell It I'll Keep Sitting On It and Nasty Man, plus many more originally performed by the likes of Marlene Dietrich, Lil Armstrong (wife of Louis) and Ruth Etting, just to name a few.Impossible to listen to without smiling.

CD Reviews

Great ukulele playing and vocals
poor-farmer-can't-get-chickens-to-l | Kentucky | 01/01/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"1920's flavoured uke playing and vocals by modern flapper Janet klein, who performs often in the Pasadena area. She possesses a high pitched voice, and strums her uke in the most pleasurable ways, while unearthing songs by long forgotten singers like Annet Hansaw, Ruth Ettin, Lil Harding, Mae West, Marlene Deitrch and others!"

"Janet Klein and her Parlour Boys have exquisitely reincarnated the charm and splendour of the music of the 1900's to 1930's. Janet's sweet dizzy charm is thoroughly genuine, absolutely true to the era, and yet all her own. This is no immitation--this is the genuine article."

"Anyone who enjoys the music of the 20's and 30's will fall in love with Janet Klein and her parlor boys. I have all of her 4 albums and am waiting for the 5th'"
