Our Take

Talkin New York, darling! The Greenwich Village Scene from 1940-1962 is like taking a stroll down memory lane with a bunch of beatniks on a caffeine high. This compilation album is a glorious celebration of the eclectic and vibrant music scene that emerged in the bohemian bubble of Greenwich Village during those two decades.

From folk to jazz to blues, this album has got it all, darling. It's like stepping into a time machine and being transported to a smoky underground club where the whiskey flows and the music never stops.

Each track oozes with authenticity and raw emotion, capturing the spirit of a generation that dared to be different. From the soulful crooning of Billie Holiday to the frenetic energy of Bob Dylan, Talkin New York pays homage to the musical pioneers who paved the way for the counterculture movement of the 60s.

Whether you're a seasoned music aficionado or just a casual listener looking for something a bit different, this album is sure to tickle your fancy. So grab your beret, pour yourself a glass of absinthe, and lose yourself in the magic of Talkin New York. You'll thank me later, darling. 8.5/10.
