Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Tiny Tim went to Nashville and cut this collection in the 1980's that included "Country Queen". At the same time, he plundered his incredible treasure trove of forgotten songs from pop music's pre-history and with the Nashville cats in tow, he recorded "It's A Long Way To Tipperary", "Prisoner Of Love", "Sweet Rosie O'Grady", Bill Bailey" and of course "Tiptoe Through The Tulips".

4.0 out of 5 stars Recommended, December 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Tiptoe Through The Tulips/Resurrection (Audio CD)

A very enjoyable studio recording from the late 80's. Most of the songs are sung in Tiny Tim's impressive baritone, as opposed to his trademark "high voice." The arrangements are serviceable, but it is Mr. Tim's infectious enthusiasm for the old songs which really brings them to life. No rock or experimental numbers here. ("Country Queen" qualifies as a novelty tune, but it's a perfect vehicle for Tiny's vocal prowess.)

3.0 out of 5 stars With me, April 12, 2005

This review is from: Tiptoe Through The Tulips/Resurrection (Audio CD)

This album was recorded by Tiny Tim in the mid-80s. It is not one of his better albums. Tiny is the same as he ever was, but the instrumental backing is sub-par. It is mostly synthesized sounds, and Tiny always works better when he has live musicians to play off of. The remake of "Tiptoe Thru the Tulips" is far inferior to Tiny's original hit version. Occasionally, Tiny's enthusiasm for these old songs comes through, and his performance overshadows the poor musical backing. But overall, this is not a very good album.

2.0 out of 5 stars For the diehards only, February 19, 2005

By	Smiddyboy "Ossie" (Sydney) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tiptoe Through The Tulips/Resurrection (Audio CD)

This album is a huge disappointment. And to think I paid 20 bucks for this 7 years ago. Done on the cheap with synthesised keyboards, this has absolutley none of the character, energy and charm OR real instruments of Tiny's first two albums. His ressurection of 'Tiptoe' was a waste of recording tape. Listen to the original to hear how it should sound. This CD was relegated to the box in my spare room and never ventures out. If you want to find out about Tiny Tim, start with 'God bless Tiny Tim' and give this one a miss. For the diehards only.
