Start with "Joys and Concerns"

"...because if you start here, you may never want to hear another thing the Negro Problem does, even though there are a few great songs ("Buzzing," for example). Remember those old '70s albums where every song was like a mini-opera, with numerous "parts" and lots of overblown gimmickry? So that a single song could be great till that awful bridge came in that was folkloric or ragtimey or whatever? That happens here a lot. ("Miss Jones" is a good example.) Three stars because TNP is a worthwhile band, even though I'd say this CD is just for the initiated."
My favorite album of 1997

"In the sea of musical mediocrity, Post Minstrel Syndrome stands far above. This album takes me places. It has withstood the test of hundreds of listening. Original, humorous and poignant. Stew is a wonderful musical talent. Thanks Stew!"
You don't have to pay $99.00 for this!

"I won't go over terrain already covered by other excellent reviews here, but I'd like to mention that I found this cd today for 10.00 in a used record store in Philly, I don't think it is that hard to find. And, I love what Stew does w/ Macarthur Park (Someone left their crack out in the rain)...fun stuff!"
