"If you ever want to go back in time, and put a smile on your face, just put in a Janet Klein album and enjoy. We were lucky enough to have them play our wedding and they set the entire scene and created a truly magical evening under carnival lights and the stars. They are a delight on CD as well as live. Their on stage personas carry through their lives and you find they are geniune fun people who just love to play wonderful music."

"Janet and her Parlour Boys have exquisitely reincarnated the brilliant charm of the music of the 1900's to 1930's. This album is generously packed with some of the most wonderful recordings, from hot Dixie jazz to Vaudevillian music hall. Janet's sweet dizzy charm is thoroughly genuine, absolutely true to the era, and yet all her own. This is no immitation--this is the genuine article."
