Considering its ludicrous title and seemingly questionable concept, if ever there was an album that had no right to be as good as it is, this is it. Joe Quijano's approach here is absolutely serious — much to my initial disappointment — and the Latin-style instrumental covers of the musical's deathless tunes are truly excellent. This is due to come out on CD, but has been delayed for some unknown reason.
