Fact #160752

The ageless Joe Brown was a ukulele devotee long before massed ranks of willowy teenage girls took up the instrument and long before Eddie Vedder adopted it. It makes perfect sense that the last remaining credible British 50s rock'n'roller should release a ukulele opus that includes heartfelt covers of everything from George Formby's When I'm Cleaning Windows to The Who's Pinball Wizard and Motorhead's Ace Of Spades. Quite possibly the most smile-inducing album of the year, this is Joe Brown celebrating a wonderful little instrument with sterling assistance from the massed ukes of The International Ukulele Club Of Sonning Common – all 35 of them. Worth the money even just for his cover of I'll See You In My Dreams.
