Today's heartfelt shout-outs must go to Capt. Deli for the randoms, Robert for the VdGG, and sambgodot for the Richard Thompson. A second, supplementary 'thank you' goes to EasilyConfused for unearthing the Cloud Street ost - i listened to it through headphones this morning and it's even better than i thought. Hope you liked it too, EC!

Cabaret and Camp come to you this Free Friday with the gender-bending classic,

VICTOR / VICTORIA

I don’t know how Blake Edwards’ brand of comedy plays to younger adult audiences today- it’s very much of a time and place, a combination of European pretension and American slapstick. By 1982, both Edwards and his wonderfully talented wife, Julie Andrews, were a bit past their prime- Edwards’ Pink Panther series had devolved into a clip show without its star, and Andrews hadn’t done anything interesting in ages.

And then came Victor Victoria, the gender-bending, Berlin-inspired comedy set in a truly gay Paris full of funny, but legit, musical numbers. The sitcom premise is simple: Julie Andrews is Victoria Grant, a soprano who can’t get work. She meets Toddy (Robert Preston), an aging and flamboyant queen who also just lost his job. Together they come up with the perfect scheme: Paris may be full of both female nightclub singers and gay nightclub singers, but what about cross-dressing female impersonators? One who secretly happens to be female? That’s right- Victoria becomes Victor the Polish female impersonator, and “he” quickly becomes the toast of the town.

But wait- there’s a subplot. Chicago gangster King Marchand (James Garner) falls for Victor, convinced he’s actually a she. His testosterone-fueled obsession in discovering Victoria’s secret (pun intended) provides the movie’s comedic foundation, accompanied by a couple of greats; Leslie Ann Warren plays his ditzy blonde girlfriend, and Alex “Webster’s dad” Karras is his bodyguard- both hilarious as they flesh out, and then subvert, their characters’ archetypal roles. Of course, Victoria eventually falls for King, and of course she’s afraid to reveal her secret and risk losing her newfound fame and fortune.

The film’s premise cleverly allows Edwards to explore gender norms and homosexuality with an open, comical abandon during a Reagan-dominated American mainstream cultural era that only understood “gay’ as a pejorative. But Victor / Victoria normalizes and celebrates sexuality of all forms in its madcap silliness, full of great dialogue that pushed that era’s sexual boundaries and taboos. It deserves a lot more credit than its gotten as a subversive mainstream comedy that normalizes homosexuality while satirizing everything else. Today, the outrageousness that this film was may be lost on people born in the 21st century, but the music still sparkles, and the gags still work, silly as they are.

This out of print cd is not available on any digital platforms at present.

Country Girls On Western Ranch Party 1957-1960
https://www.discogs.com/release/12747316-Various-Country-Girls-On-Western-Ranch-Party-1957-1960

Excellent compilation from 1957-60 contains music from TV shows recorded at Town Hall.

An awesome set of live, rockabilly-tinged tracks by the likes of Patsy Cline, Wanda Jackson, Bonnie Guitar, Rose Lee Maphis and several now-forgotten lesser lights, such as Mary Lou Nell, Fiddlin' Kate, Dorothy Wright and Marilyn Tuttle. There are also a slew of cool performances by Lorrie Collins, including several solo numbers apart from her guitar-whiz little brother... This is an ace bunny killer collection, which also includes plenty of the stage banter with MC Tex Ritter. My only complain is this: why the heck did the label choose to always put the spoken intros to specific artists on the tracks preceding the artist being introduced???? It's a really unfortunate decision, as it makes the record near-impossible to play correctly on the radio, or to listen to in a CD carousel, or an iPod, for that matter... There's all this dangling information out there, dozens of tracks that end with the introduction of a song you won't be able to hear under normal listening circumstances. And who has the time to re-edit the tracks so they make sense? Kinda dumb. Oh, well. The music is still really great, and random technical oddness aside, this disc is highly recommended. -DJ Joe Sixpack

@Rank Stranger

While The Dry City Scat Band Had periodic guests, like Scotty Stoneman, I don't hear a female vocalist. The harmonies sound much like the song "Bald Headed End Of The Broom" that was released on a couple of compilations: "Elektra String Band Project," and "Forever Changing - The Golden Age Of Elektra Records - 1963-1973".
