Back in the late 1970s, the Kojak's made a
gigantic splash in the underground music scene.
They showed up at CBGB one night, played an
incredible set of music and word quickly spread.
Nobody was really sure who they were or where they
came from. The next time they played at this
famous club, the place was packed. Everybody who
was anybody on the music scene heard about them
and wanted to check it out for themselves. And
there was also just a little dash of disbelief
about the whole affair. I mean, really now, here
were a bunch of fantastic musicians, all dressed
in identical bald wigs, sporting the jaunty hats,
sunglasses and leisure suits of the television
detective, belting out tunes a la Telly with just
a touch of Frank thrown in for good measure. This
absolutely hysterical parody was performed with
excellent musicianship, flair and humor. The
Kojaks took the stage, charmed the audience and,
all the while, tossed out lollipops to the punks
up front. I was lucky enough to see the Kojaks
live about a half dozen times and still grin
fondly at the memory.
Well, now they're back! That's right and they're
here to Roast Nilsson! These dapper dudes have
taken the best Harry Nilsson tunes and added their
own inimitable style just for you. "The Kojaks
Roast Nilsson" is a perfect sing-along CD and it
will also leave you rolling in the aisles. The
legendary Kojaks (at least for a brief moment in
time) meet the legendary Nilsson. What a combo!
