 Rating:  - Last squeeze of the Polka KingOnly about a half hour of content, the last four and a half minutes of repetitive maudlin slop. A few very good cuts of Frank's hits reprised with a potpourri of celebs. Who is Cowboy Jack Clement, anyway? Rating:  - Sing Along!I bought this CD as a gift for my Grandfather. Every time we listen to it we all sing along! The polkas are upbeat, fun, and very well-known. Frank Yankovic is one of the best! Rating: - Toe-Tapping Polka For Any Music Fan This album pairs America's Polka King, Frankie Yankovic, with a series of other stars in duets. Singing partners include Chet Atkins, Weird Al Yankovic, and, my favorite, Drew Carey. If you are not a polka fan but want to own one fun-to-listen to polka album, this is the one. This is an album that is great to listen to on long drives in the car. It is just one fun, happy song after another. And, you just cannot help singing along to the songs. If you cannot enjoy Drew Carey's version of She's To Fat, then you just don't like music. If you are from Cleveland or Northeast Ohio, you have to get the album just for all the Northeast Ohio references. Rating: - Fun, Memorable and Entertaining!Anytime you have polka greats Frankie Yankovic, Joey Miskulin, and Eddie Blazonczyk getting together with celebrities like Drew Carey and musical icons Chet Atkins, Weird Al Yankovic, and Chas & Dave, you're bound to be in for a memorable presentation. And that's exactly what I got from this recording. Even if it isn't politically correct, there's something to be said about a CD that features Drew Carey singing the "Too Fat Polka." The musicianship on this disc is first-rate, as is the case with most productions Joey Miskulin plays a major role in. While most of Frank's vocals are tastefully brought in from previous efforts, "For Old Times Sake" is an original vocal and one of the last the late Polka King would record on a major ...

Even if you don't know how to polka, it's almost impossible to stay still when you hear these joyous, infectiously bouncy dance tunes. Frankie Yankovic and a lot of guest stars, including Drew Carey and Weird Al Yankovic (his son, I presume?) sing these old favorites with great gusto. I bought this album because my fiance was talking nostalgically about the ethnic music programs he used to hear on the radio in his childhood, back when local radio really was local, and not homogenized Clearchannel pop. This music brings back a lot of great memories. |
