The perfect companion to volume 1 April 9, 2002

Volume two continues the wonderful piano stylings and angelic vocals of Jonathan and Darlene Edwards. I can't wait for vol. 3

Jonathan and Darlene (Paul Weston and Jo Stafford) are the most hilarious, brilliant comic team ever to record these songs. The liner notes are a hoot, too! This is such a treasure. You won't regret buying it. In our family, all the generations adore Jonathan and Darlene. My son grew up hearing us play the albums and he even indoctrinates his young friends by playing selections for them. Really the most hilarious listening experience you can imagine! I love every second of it and wish there were ten volumes rather than just the two.

In addition to the so eloquent aforementioned explanation of the contents this disk, may I submit the following :I have played this recording at various parties just to see who notices the sour notes and rythmic blunders. Some people "get it" and others just wonder what's so funny about it. If you're somebody who appreciates parody and you aren't tone deaf - you are sure to like this silliness (and, be sure, it rates HIGHLY on the Silly Scale). If you don't meet the above suggestions... then don't waste your time. ps. it's A LOT more entertaining after a drink or two...
hilarious send up of traditional hits November 24, 1998

Jonathan and Darlene Edwards are pseudonymns for legendary big band director and arranger Paul Weston and his singing icon wife, Jo Stafford. The two decided to release a series of LPs during the 50's which featured their slaughtered renditions of pop standards. The ablums set the industry on its ear and became hilarious musts for every party and get together where serious music lovers appreciated the difficulty of the task at hand. This is only the second of several LPs to find its way to CD. Notably, "I Love Paris" and "Sing Along With Jonathan and Darlene Edwards" still remain to be published in the new format (hint,hint!). Mere words cannot describe the hilarious effect this album will have on anyone who hears it for the first time and in my case, each time I rediscover the musical mastery of this duo. Mr. Weston plays wrong notes, bad chords and misses entrances and savages tempi with the self-confidence of a Toscannini. Ms. Stafford (Darlene), sings just flat (or sharp) enough to be hilarious. She never quite hits the notes or makes all her musical entrances but her comic sense of timing and musical "ability" are impressive! If you don't enjoy this album and its predecessor....there is little hope for your redemption!
