Barnes & Noble - Greg Fagan
If craggy old English rockers can dust off their 30-year-old anthems, take them out on tour, and rake in heaps of boomer bucks, shouldn't comedians be able to do the same? Well, yes. And for those whose comedic sensibilities are such that they can't even look at a can of Spam without breaking into song, ERIC IDLE SINGS MONTY PYTHON is much, much better than an afternoon in "the comfy chair." Recorded early in 2000 at the J. Paul Getty Center's Harold M. Williams Auditorium in Los Angeles, this delightful album allows Idle -- the most euphonically inclined Flying Circus performer -- to indulge in a skit-free cabaret. And it works. With a fine band led by L.A. fixture Tom ...

Barnes & Noble - Greg Fagan
If craggy old English rockers can dust off their 30-year-old anthems, take them out on tour, and rake in heaps of boomer bucks, shouldn't comedians be able to do the same? Well, yes. And for those whose comedic sensibilities are such that they can't even look at a can of Spam without breaking into song, ERIC IDLE SINGS MONTY PYTHON is much, much better than an afternoon in "the comfy chair." Recorded early in 2000 at the J. Paul Getty Center's Harold M. Williams Auditorium in Los Angeles, this delightful album allows Idle -- the most euphonically inclined Flying Circus performer -- to indulge in a skit-free cabaret. And it works. With a fine band led by L.A. fixture Tom Scott and featuring several backing vocalists, Idle moves through the Python canon with glee and purpose, dotting the 20-song set with such favorites as "Eric the Half Bee," "Sit on My Face," "Every Sperm Is Sacred," and "The Money Song." The latter, it's worth noting, includes an updated reference to "the bisexual Euro, desperately appealing to everybody." Idle, meanwhile, manages the appealing part without a whiff of desperation. By the time he gets to "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" (recently warbled by Jack Nicholson in "As Good As It Gets") and "The Lumberjack Song," you'll be ready to join the choir.
All Music Guide - Mark Morgenstein
This could just as easily be called "More Songs About Lumberjacks and Spam." If you like Monty Python, you'll love it; if you don't, you'll hate it. Original Python member Eric Idle recently performed at the J. Paul Getty Center in Los Angeles, and here's the result. It's a best-of packed with songs, poems, and arcana from the 30-plus years of Monty Python, with amusing Idle banter between songs. Idle's droll voice isn't bad for a comedian, and with his chorus of background singers, it fits the silly tone of the songs well.
