Shimmying with Vlad

 

This time Kramer is teamed up with a Fair half of Half Japanese, brother Jad (cover art by other Fair half David).  

Kramer's musical oeuvre takes Jad into some new terrain unlike his usual punkish abandon, but this very musical meeting ground makes this possibly one of Jad's best if extremely atypical releases.  

Talking half of Jillette & Teller wrote most of the originals lyrics along with Jad & sings on Dylan‘s "Subterranean Homesick Blues" & "Twist & Shout" (written & released by Phil Medley & Bert Berns in 1961, charted #2 for the Isley Brothers the following year & covered by the Beatles on 1964s Please Please Me .
