Originally released in 1991,
99 Monkeys is
Bob Neuwirth's second album, a collection of wry, laid-back songs recorded with friends like
Steve Young, Katy Moffat and
Peter Case. Tracks like "Great Spirits," "Biding Her Time" and "Life Is for the Living" are folky rambles, acoustically based and embellished with sax and mandolin. Two bonus tracks, "Cloudy Day" and "Busted Bottle," are included in the 1999 re-release. ~ Heather Phares
