Leon Redbone (born Dickran Gobalian August 26 1949) is a singer
and guitarist specializing in interpretations of early 20th
century music including jazz and blues standards and Tin Pan
Alley classics
Recognized for his trademark Panama hat dark sunglasses and bow
tie Redbone first appeared on stage in Toronto Canada in the
mid-1970s
Redbone has released approximately fifteen albums and earned a
sizable cult following. His concerts blend performance comedy
and skilled instrumentals. Recurrent gags involve the influence of
alcohol and claiming to have written works originating well before
his time. He sang the theme to the television series Mr
Belvedere
WHISTLING IN THE WIND resembles a 1940s radio broadcast minus the
static. Like much of Leon Redbone’s output this 1988 recording
travels down nostalgic pathways to revisit ragtime swing early
country and Tin Pan Alley. Such revivalism might be ho-hum were
it not for Redbone’s distinctive baritone ease and charm as a
stylistic interpreter and theatrical flair (the fedora
sunglasses and Groucho Marx moustache don’t hurt). The influence
of songwriter Stephen Foster can be heard on the album’s opener
Dancin’ On Daddy’s Shoes (which features a very charming backup
chorus). The increasing influence of roots country on Redbone’s
music can be heard on Bouquet of Roses and on Settin’ By the
Fire (the vocal guest spot by Merle Haggard on this latter cut
makes it one of the album’s highlights). The loungeHawaiian vibe
of My Little Grass Shack features a vocal turn from none other
than Ringo Starr and dares the listener to sing along with its
lyrics about the island’s difficult-to-pronounce tropical fish
With its wit charm and mixed bag of classic American influences
WHISTLING IN THE WIND is eminently listenable fare
