Lindley Armstrong Jones was a musical genius. In the wild and woolly days before multi-track recording, MTV, and certainly digital entertainment content, Spike Jones put together a top-flight musical organization that the world has not seen the likes of since. Known as The City Slickers, the emphasis was on comedy, primarily doing dead-on satires of popular songs on the hit parade and taking the air out of pompous classical selections as well.
The genius of Jones - as a songwriter, bandleader, and musician- is often overshadowed by his comedic schtick. But make no mistake, Jones was a musician and a damn fine one at that, whether on a set of drums, singing into a mic, or with a car horn. This remastered
4CD set from the UK label Proper, goes a long way toward setting Jones's record straight. In the 1930s and 40s, while American dance and jazz orchestras were just finding their mature footing and popularity, Jones was there to sabotage their efforts with great playing, parody tunes ('I Dream Of Brownie With The Light Blue Jeans', 'I'm Forever Blowing Bubble Gum'), and, oh yes, gunfire.
As novelty artists go, Jones was one of the best. He hired great musicians for his City Slickers, he wrote memorable songs, and he was a snappy dresser, too. "Strictly For Music Lovers" features more of the musician than you'll ever need, but its nice liner notes, and great music (that still sounds hilarious after all these years) make it a steal.
