Popis - JEWFACE:
Reboot Stereophonic, the acclaimed non-profit record label committed to exhuming lost music from America's attics, is proud to announce the release of its latest album exploring pops buried roots, JEWFACE. The worlds first and only anthology of Jewish minstrel songs, JEWFACE includes "COHEN OWES ME 97 DOLLARS", "UNDER THE MATZOS TREE", "I'M A YIDDISH COWBOY" and other long lost hits that took vaudeville stages by storm at the turn of the 20th century. JEWFACE features 16 ultra-rare recordings, unheard for nearly a century. Recorded between 1903-1924, the songs were composed by legendary tunesmiths including Irving Berlin and Gus Kahn and performed by Fanny Brice, Billy Murray, and other vaudeville greats. Revisiting pop's true old school, JEWFACE reveals one of the dirty little secrets of American culture: some of the first hit records ever made were fiendishly catchy musical lampoons, created by Jews, for Jews, packed with stereotypes straight out of the anti-Semites playbook. The disc JEWFACE was curated by writer Jody Rosen, music critic for Slate magazine and the author of the celebrated White Christmas: The Story of an American Song. Rosen spent more than a dozen years traveling the country to hunt down the original wax cylinder and 78 disc recordings which were then re-mastered.
