2006 CD Discovery #8 - Pink Martini: Hang on Little Tomato



Artist: Pink Martini
Album: Hang on Little Tomato

The skinny: Hang on Little Tomato, Pink Martini’s long-awaited second album, features mostly original songs written by the band and its extended family. Drawing on themes articulated in its first album, Hang on Little Tomato is the result of the group's diverse collaborations and inspirations. From an advertisement for Hunt’s Ketchup from a 1964 issue of LIFE magazine to a dance sequence in the 1950 Italian film Anna, Hang on Little Tomato includes songs in French, Italian, Japanese, Croatian, Spanish and English. Awsome mood music for a cocktail party or dinner event. 7.5/10

Favorite song: Anna
