3.0 out of 5 stars
Poor quality but fun anyway, June 15, 2000
This review is from: Hollywood Be Thy Name (Audio CD)
This Cd would be considered a guilty pleasure. Although the sound quality is horrible the overall fun feeling of the cd makes it a fun ride. There are much better titles that showcase the talent of Dr. John, but the live feeling on several of the tracks give you a sense of good ole nawlins jazz. Track 6 is soooo bad it would qualify for the "worst" hall of fame. What were they thinking? Too many late nights and booze. If you just accept that it is bad and roll with it you can actually enjoy it. Track 1 sets the tone and others keep it going. I really like this title despite the obvious flaws.

3.0 out of 5 stars
For a diehard Dr. John fan only, June 4, 2000
This review is from: Hollywood Be Thy Name (Audio CD)
There are three notable tracks on this release. "Swanee River Boogie" is classic Dr. John boogie - very enjoyable. The "Medley" is interesting for its rendition of "Will the Circle Be Unbroken". And the title song "Hollywood Be Thy Name" wears surprisingly well - most such religious "spoofs" wear thin by the third time through; while this is not a great track the fact that it doesn't become a bad track is a significant feat.
