{"product_id":"neil-hamburger_still-dwelling_2019_mdl","title":"Still Dwelling","description":"In these days of great consternation in the USA, it takes \"America's Funnyman\" to show the way towards a little love and entertainment. With his vocal cords and a full studio orchestra behind him, Neil Hamburger is back to bring some of the greatest songs of his era back to life. Known for his comedy shows, Neil is no slouch when it comes to musical entertainment. With Still Dwelling, the Neil Hamburger touch is applied to a true potpourri of 20th-century composers, from Frank Loesser to Lennon \u0026 McCartney, and Andrew Lloyd Webber to T.S.O.L. Not to mention Ann \u0026 Nancy Wilson, Mark Eitzel, and Sonny Curtis. This ambitious project began with a handful of popular standards that Neil Hamburger and his accompanist of choice, Erik Paparozzi, regularly performed in concert. Noticing the positive reception they received at each show, Neil and Erik decided to re-record these songs in the studio. Over time, celebrities such as John 'Rabbit' Bundrick (The Who), Probyn Gregory (Brian Wilson, Beach Boys), Tanya \u0026 Petra Haden, Bar McKinnon (Mr. Bungle), Mikael Jorgenson (Wilco), D.J. Bonebrake (X) and many others were welcomed during the recording sessions, and groups of friends and family members contributed vocals. Among them Jack Black and Mike Patton (Faith No More) for a memorable passage on the cover of \"Everything's Alright!\" from Jesus Christ Superstar. Nowadays, it is rare for a pop album to use the talents of such diverse composers, an eclectic taste that Neil shares with his alter-ego Gregg Turkington. With a wide range of styles under Paparozzi's beautifully arranged arrangements, Still Dwelling suggests a new definition of the Great American Songbook era, embodying a rich tradition that continued to evolve and mutate until the end of the century. In fact, albums like Still Dwelling are too rare these days! You'd be more likely to find an album like this in a thrift store than in today's record stores. It was about time! With Still Dwelling, Neil Hamburger faces his audience like never before, with a heart literally full of love.","brand":"Neil Hamburger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55311998452056,"sku":null,"price":23848058.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0781484073314.jpg?v=1760407752","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/neil-hamburger_still-dwelling_2019_mdl","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
