I was introduced to this band of ukulele brandishing cover version fiends a couple of years ago when a friend played to me their album Secret of Life. At first I thought it was a novelty act but on listening closer I realised they where actually very talented. My favourite song from that album is Otis Redding’s Hard to Handle.
So I was pleased the other day when emitting from iTunes I suddenly heard a familiar twang of Ukulele’s covering Smells like Teen Spirit and I thought ‘hey’ that’s new and I was right it was. Well at least it was to me, and that is how I discovered their 2007 album Precious Little. It contains another classic Ukulele Orchestra track, which is the cover of Talking Heads’ Psycho Killer. Brilliant.
The eagerly awaited album of 2007.
Ukuleles are small and endearing. For the player, it's sometimes difficult to find the right ukulele.
Hence the title: Precious Little. It's precious and it's little.
Tracks include: Smells like teen spirit, Theme from Shaft, Bang Bang (you shot me down), Psycho Killer, and The Girl from Devizes, a possible Bebop classic. Jazz, rock, grunge, country and the unclassifiable. All played on ukuleles and nothing but.
