The All Time Great Polkas: Frankie Yankovic Plays in Person

by Frankie Yankovic

Overview

Recorded live in the studios of WEWS-TV in Cleveland, Frankie Yankovic Plays in Person the All-Time Great Polkas finds Yankovic and his Yanks negotiating a dozen famous polkas before an appreciative audience. The Yanks alternate instrumental and group-vocal performances while the audience claps along and mellifluous dueling accordions weave in and out. Some of these numbers, such as "Just Because" and "Tic Tock Polka," have been recorded by Yankovic many times and appeared in different incarnations on earlier Columbia albums like Frankie Yankovic's Polka Party and Polkas in Hi-Fi!. Frankie Yankovic Plays in Person functions as both a live album and a best-of, capturing the excitement of a polka performance and serving up several classics of the genre. ~ Greg Adams
