Tracks list

In a follow-up to their hit recording of music from My Fair Lady, Shelly Manne
and his Friends (a trio with pianist AndrÃ© Previn, bassist Leroy Vinnegar,
and the drummer/leader) recorded nine songs from the play Lil Abner. Although
Johnny Mercer and Gene DePaul wrote the score, none of the songs caught on
except for the ballad Namely You, and this LP (whose music has not been reissued
yet on CD) was not a best-seller. The musicians are in fine form but the
melodies are not too memorable (when was the last time anyone played If I Had My
Druthers or Progress Is the Root of All Evil?). Actually the main reason to
search for this album is for the hilarious photo on the cover.
