about

Ready For You

Ready For You opens with a bang-up bunch of swingy dance numbers by a spirited singer and band that has put a spit shine and polish on its ensemble musicianship. These wonderfully robust tunes will set you jazzing for romance and hurly-burly speakeasy steppin’ out. Starting with the title track (“I’m Getting Myself Ready For You” a rare Cole Porter song originally recorded by Blanche Calloway - Cab’s sister), you’ll be rocking to the rafters and then Bear Hugging your baby.

From there, the tunes roll into new stylistic water with steamy Riverboat shuffles and a hot southern style repertoire specifically designed for and being performed in intimate historic settings in the US. New to the mix, this break out trio featuring Janet Klein and her first Parlor Boy - John Reynolds who’s known for his expert whistling and hotter-than-hell guitar and banjo playing. John provided accompaniment on her 1st CD “Come Into My Parlor” and is joined with maestro violinist Benny Brydern (Hot Club Quartet) a Parlor Boy regular. This little threesome performs with tremendous drive and disarming simplicity.

Along with the swinging & swaying there’s dreamy romance tunes delivered with great arrangements and timeless lyrics by the sweet and vivacious Ms. Klein. The CD has plenty of variety with obscure movie tunes, a load of sassy Dixie mania, novelties and jazz age tales of bad behavior all mixed with a yummy plate of down home fun.

Three songs feature Janet singing duets and harmonies with Parlor Fellows- John Reynolds (grandson of 20’s 30’s movie star Zazu Pitts), Ian Whitcomb (music historian and 60’s pop star) and David Barlia (fellow ukulelian and eefing crooner). The CD is produced by Robert Loveless (of Scenic, 17 Pygmies & Savage Republic) Also featured is Tom Marion member of Robert Crumb’s Cheap Suit Serenaders and Brad Kay, former member of The Original Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo.

California Feetwarmers are the real thing! We adore them. Josh Kaufman plays with us when I can catch him. He and his brother Justin wrote the great music for "Over the Garden Wall" I'm Miss Langtree Janet Klein and Her Parlor Boys
