Bart, go to your room!,

This review is from: The Simpsons Sing The Blues (Audio CD)
This was the first album released by the Simpsons. It wasn't songs from their show, but rather songs recorded especially for this album. Some of the songs are good, some are not. Here are my thoughts:1. "Do the Bartman" is a fun rap song by Bart. They actually made a video of this song.2. "School Day" is a lousy cover version of a Chuck Berry song, by Bart and Buster Poindexter. Joe Walsh provides lead guitar.3. "Born Under a Bad Sign" is a cover version of an Albert King blues song by Homer. It is pretty decent. Guitar playing by B.B. King gives it some authenticity.4. "Moanin' Lisa Blues" was a song that was actually featured on show, although this version is much longer. It is one of the better songs here.5. "Deep, Deep Trouble" is another fun rap song by Bart. This one was produced by D.J. Jazzy Jeff.6. "God Bless the Child" is a terrible cover version of a classic Billie Holiday song by Lisa...Read more

Great Album!,

This is by no means the best Simpsons album ever(Songs in the Key of Sprigfield and Simpsons Simphonic are much better) but lets face it any real Simpsons fan will love this album! The songs are clever and funny,and the music is well written. If you buy this hoping to hear songs from the show,buy the other 2 instead..this album is for the hardcore Simpsons lover! Best songs- "Look At All Those Idiots" by Burns and Smithers , and "Deep Deep Trouble" by the Bartman himself! Get this album!

Outstanding compositions!,

Overall this is a really great CD. Almost all the songs are great and the musicians are excellent. About half of the songs are covers, which I think is a good thing. Although not all the songs are that great ("Deep, Deep Trouble", "School Day"). My two favorite tracks are "Sibling Rivalry" and "God Bless The Child". I'm, by the way, very surprised that no one seems to appreciate GBTC at all. I think it's a magnificent song and "Lisa" sings it beautifully too. I got this album when I was just a kid (in the early '90s) and I like it even today. It's just that nowadays my liking is more "musical". I recommend this album to anyone who likes the show or just simply likes good music.
