	Review \| Any Time by Leon Redbone
		Redbone's throaty, mumble-mouthed delivery and reinterpretation of turn-of-the-century and Depression-era ragtime and folk-jazz songs become a testament to his great love for a time when melody was king and electric instruments weren't yet a thought.
		Redbone established himself as somewhat of an oddity in the music business, taking mostly pre-World War II songs and imbuing them with what can only be thought of as Redbone's unique style and humor.
		Redbone manages to keep these classic songs sounding fresh while staying surprisingly true to the period from which they were first produced.

	Leon Redbone - a Review of The Phantom Tollbooth
		For nearly 20 years, Leon Redbone has showcased his blend of jazz and folk to a whole host of eager ears.
		Leon Redbone has released his first album in seven years, entitled Any Time, and the title signifies when this CD is fun to listen to: any time.
		Redbone, perhaps best known for the Budweiser themes of the 70's or "Your Feets Too Big", the theme song for the TV show Harry and the Hendersons, puts his own personal spin of thirteen songs ranging from 1920's jazz, World War II-era big band, and Broadway-style torch songs.

	music-reviewer.com - October - Leon Redbone
		Those familiar with Leon Redbone for among other things his many Saturday Night Live appearances know him as much for his hat, dark sunglasses, and Groucho Marx moustache as his baritone voice.
		Redbone dusts off his banjo and does some picking, accompanied by Leonard Pickett's fife, and a wistful cover of "Moonlight Bay." All the songs on the album are handled gently and carefully by Redbone and he never seeks to upstage the original versions of these songs.
		Redbone's style and also a fun album for those who like jazz, ragtime, and/or just a laid back sound.

	Leon Redbone : Live & Kickin' (Master Classics) - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Describing Redbone as a folk singer is definitely valid -- folk is a major part of what he does -- but at the same time, Redbone's love affair with pre-World War II music also has a lot to do with blues, classic jazz, ragtime, vaudeville and traditional pop.
		Redbone is as eclectic as he is retro, and his love of privacy only adds to the guy's mystique -- apart from the notoriously media-shy Prince, you would be hard-pressed to find a more guarded, privacy-obsessed singer than Leon Redbone.
		Whatever the recording date(s), Redbone is in generally fine form on these performances -- and in true Redbone fashion, the earthy vocalist/guitarist tackles an intriguing variety of songs.

	The History of Rock Music. Leon Redbone: biography, discography, reviews, links (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Leon Redbone is an eccentric and eclectic New York musician who has devoted his career to injecting new life into the blues, jazz, vaudeville, ragtime and folk traditions of the roaring 1920s, 1930s and 1940s.
		Redbone's baritone croon and yodel and his nostalgic orchestrations (heavy on the strings and horns) make fun of the theatrical, sentimental and pompous styles of the past, but, at the same time, reveal what was precious and is forever lost of that civilization.
		Leon Redbone è un eccentrico ed eclettico musicista di New York che ha dedicato la sua carriera a ridare vita al blues, al jazz, al vaudeville, al ragtime e alle tradizioni folk dei "ruggenti" anni ‘20, ‘30 e ‘40.

		Christmas Island, a 1989 release from Leon Redbone recently reissued by Rounder Records, is a happy exception to this rule.
		The mysterious Redbone introduced his unique blend of ragtime and blues to the world in the 1970’s and established himself as something of a cult phenomenon, thanks in part to his appearances on Saturday Night Live.
		With his distinctive look and throaty voice, Redbone is one of those performers who cannot be mistaken for anyone else.

	Leon Redbone
		In the way he contemplates where he fits within the confines of the music industry, he is the Friedrich Nietzsche of popular music; in the way he challenges audiences, venturing against their conventional expectations of what a live show should be, he's the Andy Warhol of front porch guitar playing.
		At the core of his initial career was the desire to simply honor songs from the past, which has established him as the preeminent curator of the museum of 20th century music.
		It's easy to get lost in his stage exploits, which move between vaudeville and performance art, and overlook what an accomplished player he is. Fingerpicking is delivered with a ragtime bounce, mirroring the style of Blind Blake, and chords are leaped upon with the grace of a hurdler.

		Redbone croons and growls his way through a repertoire that includes Rodgers, Fats Waller, Irving Berlin, and "Polly Wolly Doodle," the last of which inspired album-cover artist Chuck Jones to include "a grasshopper sittin' on the railroad track...
		Leon Redbone applies his skills to the interpretation of an eclectic blend of musical styles including old-timey jazz, ragtime, acoustic folk, blues and country standards, minstrel show tunes and radio ditties coming from a period broadly extending to the turn of the century to WWII.
		Redbone has a good mastery of the acoustic guitar (he also sometimes plays the banjo.) Although not a virtuoso, he fingerpicks in a ragtime style that allows him to sing and play at the same time.

	Leon Redbone - Blue Thumb Records (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Redbone just seems to be perpetually famous, whether making numerous television appearances (his network debut came on the second season of Saturday Night Live), popularizing the classic beer jingle "This Bud’s For You," adding his deft touch to various soundtracks, or even being lampooned in a Far Side cartoon.
		Redbone’s fingerstyle skill leaps out on tunes such as "In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree," where his dueling banjo and acoustic work ripens during a double-time breakdown.
		With a haunting piano score flanked by harmonica and clarinet, Redbone reinterprets this New York City tribute as a torch song lament to a vintage era.

	Leon Redbone at the Towne Crier
		Redbone's career first gained momentum in the early '70s when Bob Dylan sought him out at the Mariposa Folk Festival.
		Redbone popularized the homespun beer jingle "This Bud's for You" and was the "Getting to know you" voice on a series of Chevrolet advertisements.
		He may not cater to categorization, but his audiences pigeonhole him firmly in the category of "great." And while he claims to have no desire to entertain, it is inevitable that when exposed to Leon Redbone there is no other option than being wholly entertained.

		But Leon Redbone creates Christmas music that comes from sun and sand on Christmas Island and, while listening to this album, I find that I don't miss the snow at all.
		Redbone slides into some of the notes during "Winter Wonderland," and from there it switches to sandpaper rough in "Frosty the Snowman." He combines the broad vocals of the vaudeville stage with a string section and a touch of the blues in "Blue Christmas" and they all blend together.
		Leon Redbone put together a classy group of Christmas songs on Christmas Island.

	Leon Redbone - CD Review
		Relying on that laconic, nasal-edged baritone of his, Redbone culls a repertoire consisting mainly of standards associated with the Golden Age of Tin Pan Alley, from approximately 1912 until 1945.
		Redbone's nostalgic renderings, however, are true to the past, both in content and spirit.
		Leon Redbone and his mates are illustrative not merely of how the lessons of the past can be immaculately absorbed; but also how they can be synthesized in ways that shed new insights and light into a distant universe abounding with intense memories.

		On top of soundtrack and lesser compositions, Redbone has released approximately a dozen albums and earned a cult-like fan community who will travel significant distances to hear him perform.
		His recurrent gags involve the influence of alcohol and claiming to have written works well before his time (as part of the age mystery schtick), and his concerts blend performance, comedy, and skilled instrumentals.
		Redbone survived the crash of a small plane in the early 1980s and now travels to engagements exclusively by car.

		These are followed by two Redbone originals, "Steal Away Blues" and "You Salty Dog," proof that Redbone has thoroughly absorbed the idiom of the age he so frequently revisits in his performances.
		The snappy Dixieland-infused "Border of the Quarter" is next, followed by the instrumental call-and-response tune "Someday Sweetheart." These have merely set the table, though, for the gem of the disc, the scorching "Whose Honey Are You," in which Gordon trades sax licks with the flying fingers of Redbone's acoustic axe.
