Reviews4 out of 5 - "...reveals numerous facets of his artistry....He proves wonderfully adept at capturing the sights and sounds of his most enduring work....He faux-croons...his way through loopy versions of 4 jazz standards...it's the best bad lounge you'll ever hear...", "...this newly discovered unaccompanied reading from ON THE ROAD reminds you what all the fuss was about...", "...Kerouac effectively manipulates language and rhythm to capture the spontaneity and spirit of improvising musicians, incorporating a potted history of the music itself..."
