5.0 out of 5 stars terrific, topical, tuneful (and boy, can she sing!), September 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Diva's Day Off (Audio CD)

this live album captures ms. west's unique blend of humorous insight and diva-quality musicality. the lyrics are always right on target, and her wit goes beyond the merely clever to the thought-provoking. whether she's lamenting the vagaries of modern medical practice (toe to toe with the hmo), recalling an unrequited love (root canal of the heart), or poking uproarious fun at everyone from new age believers to those more conventionally inclined (getting raptured 2000), these songs are not only slice-of-life commentaries but great music. "diva's day off" should please everyone from fans of christine lavin and tom lehrer to those who are looking to branch out from a steady diet of acoustic folk music. not for the humor-impaired.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, topical songstress, February 18, 2000

In the field of comedic music, West is up there on my list with Tom Lehrer, Cheryl Wheeler, and the other greats. Her perfect timing shines through on this live album, and songs like the Viagra song are gems. If you like intelligent, well written humor that doesn't rely on foul language for all its jokes, then you'll appreciate West's album.

This is my all time favorite CD! It is just hysterical!
Probably not music you want to play around your younger children however. Some of the humor is a bit raunchy. Buy this and put yourself in a good mood!
