4.0 out of 5 stars Lotsa Fun, September 9, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Eddie Is a Punk (Audio CD)
Brandon Cruz is (perhaps) best remembered as "Eddie" in "The Courtship of Eddie's Father." He's now an editor for the "South Park" TV show and a punk rocker. This album contains three versions of "Best Friend," the theme song for "Courtship." One features Bill Bixby. Another was recorded by Cruz and Mickey Dolenz for the Nilsson tribute album (but it got bumped when Ringo submitted a track). The third version is Cruz's enthusiastic punk version. What makes it very special is that the song's composer, Harry Nilsson, plays piano and sings on the track. Recorded just weeks before his death, it is probably the last completed song Harry recorded.

3.0 out of 5 stars People, let me tell you, May 29, 2004
This review is from: Eddie Is a Punk (Audio CD)
This CD features music by former child star turned punk rocker Brandon Cruz. The first cut is from a TV special, where Brandon "sings" a duet of "Daddy What If" with his TV father, Bill Bixby. (Incidentally, the songwriter is listed as "unknown" on this CD, but I happen to know that "Daddy What If" was written by Shel Silverstein.) Then we get two takes of Bill Bixby singing "The Courtship of Eddie's Father" theme song from the same recording session. Then there are two more (punkish) takes of the "Courtship" theme song by Brandon, with Harry Nilsson on one take and Micky Dolenz on the other. The rest of the CD features Brandon singing with various punk bands in the mid '90s. Brandon actually had a good punk voice, but the songs are not really anything special. It's decent punk rock, but nothing spectacular. Anyone wondering "Whatever happened to Eddie?" will find the answer on this CD.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could have done better..., June 5, 2003
This review is from: Eddie Is a Punk (Audio CD)
I listened to all the covers of "Best Friend". MXPX would have covered "Best Friend" better than Brandon Cruz could have, but perhaps Brandon and MXPX could get together to cover "Best Friend" just once. I would love to hear that!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not the sharpest knife in the drawer!
It's no secret that Brandon Cruz is a complete joke. This vile CD features him throughout various stages of his career, backed by several different bonehead groups. Read more
