Editorial Reviews

Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, an audacious mix of historical fact and fiction, redefines America's controversial seventh president--the man who invented the Democratic Party,drove the Indians west, and ultimately doubled the size of our nation--with a raucous blend of outrageous comedy,anarchic theatricality and an infectious emo rock score.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bloody Good Ben Walker As America's First Rock Star December 23, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
Easily one of the most talked about stars on stage this year was Benjamin Walker for "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson." Playing at the Public (this soundtrack is associated with that run) earlier this year before moving to Broadway in the fall, the show is closing shop after the new year. And what a shame! With universal critical acclaim and a star making performance, I'd have hoped for a longer run. But, alas, we take what we can get if the show isn't called "Wicked."

The show fashions Jackson as a rebel and a trailblazer. The first "commoner" to be elected President, he was considered the first populist choice. The show showcases Jackson's rise from a humble Tennessee beginning, through his conflicts with the British, his battles with the Indians, and his confrontation with the Spaniards. This is a top notch recording with whip smart lyrics and a pulsing rock beat. Walker shines on his numbers--funny, sexy, powerful--a real leading man. But perhaps one of my favorite numbers is the super clever "Ten Little Indians," a sad, insightful, and blistering song. As the people start to turn on Jackson, the music showcases genuine rawness.

One drawback, however, is that the CD with 13 tracks clocks in at just about 28 minutes. That's pretty short for a complete musical soundtrack and it caught me by surprise. Still, it sounds great and however brief--I love it. KGHarris, 12/10.

5.0 out of 5 stars Andrew Effing Jackson July 13, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
Soooo great. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to see this musical in its tragically short run. I discovered it from a few clips on the "YouTube," and as soon as Ben Walker screamed that he was Andrew F---ing Jackson, I knew I had to have it. The music is so catchy and so funny, the first day it came in the mail, I listened to it 3 times over. The only problem is that the soundtrack is so short! I WANT MORE!
