1	Woody Guthrie's Happy Joyous Hanukkah [2006] (2006) more music like this by The Klezmatics A companion piece to 2006's sublime Wonder Wheel, Happy Joyous Hanukkah, like that album, dips into Woody Guthrie's catalog of recently discovered, previously unrecorded Jewish lyrics, to which the Klezmatics have written new music. Originally released in 2004, Happy Joyous Hanukkah, expanded with four additional songs in this re-release, largely ... see all copies from $5.37! new only from $6.59!
2	Wonder Wheel (2006) more music like this by The Klezmatics Wonder Wheel isn't the first album created from completed but never recorded lyrics left behind by the late folk icon Woody Guthrie. In 1998 the British folk-punk singer Billy Bragg and American roots rockers Wilco jointly recorded Mermaid Avenue, which drew from the same pool of material. It was successful enough that a second volume was released ... see all copies from $15.41! new only from $15.41!
3	Rhythm & Jews (1990) more music like this by The Klezmatics One of the great things about klezmer is the fact that while it is a product of Jewish musical traditions, it has also reflected the Jewish-American experience. When American Jews in Brooklyn and Queens were digging Artie Shaw's clarinet in the 1940s and '50s, you'd hear it in klezmer recordings. The Klezmatics' Rhythm & Jews is a lively, ... see all copies from $4.87! new only from $15.98!
4	Jews with Horns (1995) more music like this by The Klezmatics Picture the Reverend Horton Heat with a yarmulke, if you like. Or "Fiddler on the Roof" with Coltraneian complexity. Just don't expect somber religious music. The Klezmatics' brand of Jewish klezmer is as spirited as it is spiritual. The fast numbers, which dominate their third album, are frenzied celebratory drinking songs -- a true revival of ... see all copies from $16.06! new only from $16.06!
5	Possessed (1997) more music like this by The Klezmatics Much of Possessed is a collaboration with Tony Kushner (the Pulitzer- and Tony-winning playwright of Angels in America). He contributes lyrics to two songs, and the second half of the album was designed as a musical score for his play A Dybbuk: Between Two Worlds (an adaptation of Jewish folk tales by S. An-ski). The marriage of artistic ... see all copies from $16.06! new only from $16.06!
6	Well (1998) more music like this by The Klezmatics & Chava Albertstein When Israeli singer Chava Alberstein produced a documentary film on 20th-century Yiddish poets in 1995 (Too Early to Be Quiet, Too Late to Sing), the writers' stories provoked Alberstein to set some of their poems to music. The results are gathered on The Well, with vocals by Alberstein and music performed by the Klezmatics. The compositions ... see all copies from $11.95! new only from $16.06!
7	Brother Moses Smote the Water (2005) more music like this by The Klezmatics The Klezmatics are arguably the most genre-bending performers on the klezmer scene today (and perhaps of any day). Here, they combine with an up-and-coming singer from the South. That singer just happens to be of an ancient order of Judaism and is African-American, and he attempts to fuse gospel soul with traditional Jewish works. Of course, they ... see all copies from $20.85! new only from $20.85!
8	Godchildren of Soul: Anyone Can Join (1994) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
9	A Jewish Odyssey (2000) more music like this by Various Artists This collection of music from across the Jewish Diaspora shows the diverse influences that Jewish culture has absorbed over the years. From Arabic-influenced Sephardic sounds to the jazzy styles of modern kezmer to the Middle Eastern dance-pop of Ofra Haza, this collection goes around the world and back to present the sound of a people. This ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $13.37!
10	Shvaygn = Toyt (1988) more music like this by The Klezmatics Unafraid of shameless schmaltz when it suits the cause of raising an aorta-busting ruckus, these New Yorkers recognize the bent nature of the tunes they cover, playing up the hokey woodblock percussion on the galloping "Tantst Yidelekh" or altering the last verse of "Ale Brider" (We're All Brothers) to "We're all gay, like Jonathan and King David. ... see all copies from $7.18! new only from $7.18!
11 view cover	Festival of Light [Polygram] (1996) more music like this by Various Artists This spirited Hanukkah collection features 12 traditional tracks, including "Oi Tata," "Dybbuk Shers," "Avinu," "Rock of Ages," "The Emigrant," "Shir Amami," and "Kiddush Le." Jane Siberry, Don Byron, and Marc Cohen, among others, contribute to the compilation. Gina Boldman, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99!
12 view cover	Balkans Without Borders (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Balkans Without Borders explores the different facets of contemporary Balkan music. This 21-track collection ranges from traditional versions of Balkan melodies to reinterpretations that embrace rock and techno. Artists like Muzikas and Marta Sebestyen, Brave Combo, Farmer's Market, the Immigrant Suns, Mike Watt & Masina and Boiled In Lead each do ... see all copies from $4.18! new only from $10.20!
13 view cover	Klezmer: From Old World To Our World (2000) more music like this by Various Artists This is the companion CD to the critically acclaimed book of the same title published by MacMillan which traces the development of Klezmer music through the 19th and 20th centuries. A fine collection of music was selected for this compilation, reflecting the development of the Klezmer style as a purely Eastern European Jewish form to a truly ... see all copies from $16.19! new only from $16.19!
14 view cover	Klezmania: Klezmer for the New Millenium (1997) more music like this by Various Artists This album showcases the new directions that klezmer is taking in the new millennium. There are fusions of music here that one wouldn't expect to hear ever but somehow work for the most part. The disc starts out with a piece from Boiled in Lead which is more or less traditional klezmer in its structure, but makes use of electric guitars in place ... see all copies from $5.90!
15 view cover	New York City: Global Beat of the Boroughs - Music From New York City's Ethnic.... (2001) more music like this by Various Artists This double-CD collection (for the price of a single disc) is a wonder of modern music from around the globe, all centered -- deeply -- in the international communities residing in New York City's boroughs from Brooklyn and Queens to Manhattan, Staten Island and the Bronx. The Smithsonian Folkways project has assembled, from the heart of the ... see all copies from $15.28! new only from $15.28!
16 view cover	Festival of Light, Vol. 1 [Six Degrees] (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Festival of Light is a collection of traditional Jewish holiday songs performed by non-traditional musicians. Artists like Jane Siberry performing "Shir Amami" and Marc Cohn doing "Rock of Ages" settle in comfortably next to John Zorn's "Bikkurim," performed by the Masada String Trio. While this is probably not the album that anyone would find ... see all copies from $15.30! new only from $15.30!
17 view cover	Festival of Light, Vol. 2 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Festival of Light, Vol. 2 is an equally satisfying follow-up to the groundbreaking Hanukkah holiday compilation, capturing traditional and non-traditional musical takes on the season ranging from humorous and celebratory to ethereal, solemn, and spiritual. The generally subdued musical feel is broken at times by more boisterous offerings from the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
18 view cover	The Soul of Klezmer (1998) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $41.21! new only from $41.21!
19 view cover	Rise Up! Shteyt Oyf! (2002) more music like this by The Klezmatics One thing about the Klezmatics, they're not afraid of a little controversy with their klezmer music. Here they stir the ashes a couple of times, with an English-Yiddish cover of Holly Near's "I Ain't Afraid" that comes twice on the disc, and points out the pitfalls of what people do in the name of religion, and also in "Loshn-Koydesh," an unusual ... see all copies from $16.06! new only from $16.06!
