Released just a year before Tiny Tim`s death, GIRL is one of his finest albums. It is every bit the equal of GOD BLESS TINY TIM, which put him on the map in the `60s. Brave Combo was a perfect choice to accompany him--they never stooped to rote recitations of the covers that comprise this work. The version of the Beatles` "Girl" is a fresh and worthy take on the song. Equally stunning is "Bye Bye Blackbird," a tune that many people would assume has been played enough already on Earth-not so! Other highlights include "Over The Rainbow," the turn-of-the-century topical number "Sly Cigarette," "New York, New York," and Goffin and King`s "I Want To Stay Here." Tiny Tim`s falsetto makes a few appearances, but he also enjoys emoting in the lower- and mid-registers as well. This album joyously celebrates highlights of American 20th-Century song.
