5.0 out of 5 stars Very cool concept, October 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Burnzy's Last Call (Audio CD)

It is like there is this album with the greatest hits from the fifties and sixties that you've never heard before. Johansen is amazing in the Bowie-esque "Space Monkey", but my favorite tune is Lou Christie's "I Can't Stop the Rain". Sounds like the music on the jukebox of one of my favorite Manhattan dive bars - Milanos on Houston St. A very cool and classic album. I can't wait to check out the movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars ABSOLUTELY worth seeking out ..., March 18, 2011

Very cool soundtrack, though admittedly, I never did see the movie. All kinds of cool nods to these important artists' influences, especially the Smithereens' Dennis Diken & Pete DiBello's Four-Seasons-esque "What Will I Do With My Heart". Very ecclectic compilation - highly entertaining ! Makes me want to seek out the movie and check out how the tunes are used in context.

5.0 out of 5 stars Whoa! New songs by Lou Christie, Debbie Harry & more!, August 25, 1999

This review is from: Burnzy's Last Call (Audio CD)

Don't feel left out if you've never heard of "Burnzy's Last Call." Despite winning an award at the Atlantic City Film Festival and airing on the Sundance Channel, the flick hasn't exactly burned up the silver screen, despite a cooler-than-cool soundtrack and an ensemble cast that includes David Johansen and actors from "Law & Order," "ER," and "The Sopranos." Spearheaded-and largely written and produced-by Uptown Horns saxophonist Crispin Cioe, "Burnzy's Last Call" operates on a simple principle: well-known artists (Johansen, Deborah Harry, the Smithereens, Graham Parker, Evan Dando, et al.) are "cast" as fictitious one-hit wonders and asked to contribute original songs in the style of a predetermined performer. Approached in an appropriately lighthearted vein, the formula yields wonderful results, particularly in cuts by Johansen (the David Bowie glam send-off "Space Monkey" and the Louis Prima-inspired "I Want To Be At My Own Funeral"), Harry (the unabashed Mary Hopkin ripoff "So We Danced Again"), and LOU CHRISTIE , the only artist on the soundtrack who plays himself, contributing the tune "I CAN'T STOP THE RAIN." Other highlights include the Smithereens' Gene Pitney-esque "I Don't Want To Look In The Mirror" and the Four Seasons-patterned "What Will I Do With My Heart," written and performed by Smithereens drummer Dennis Diken and musical collaborator Pete DiBello. A great idea that makes you wonder why no one thought of it sooner.
