The Very Best of Lou Monte ReviewWhile a competent serious vocalist, Lou Monte is best known for his Italian-flavored novelty tunes from the late 50's and early 60's. You don't have to be Italian to bop along with the bouncy "Lazy Mary" and crack a smile in the process. And while it never made it into the top 100, the same reaction comes with hearing the goofy "Dominick The Donkey (The Italian Christmas Donkey".
In the vein of Ross Bagdasarian's chipmunks, Monte had his biggest hit with "Pepino the Italian Mouse" in 1962. Also included in this collection is one of the funniest novelty tunes that didn't become a hit single, "Mama Get the Hammer (There's a Fly on Papa's Head)". Novelty tunes and otherwise, the entire disc is totally entertaining.
From a production standpoint, Taragon has done an outstanding job here with superb sound quality throughout. Tracks 1-7 and 12 are in mono with all other tracks in stereo and all mastered from the original masters and session tapes. Liner notes are brief - a four page booklet with a two-page musical background on Monte's career. While just a bit meager in some respects, this is an outstanding production and wonderfully entertaining to boot.The Very Best of Lou Monte Overview
