[ Rouge Records / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 13 November 2015
Celebrating the JBB's 20th anniversary and fulfilling the request of many of their fans over the years, here at last is a live album of greatest hits. Compiled mainly from live recordings from the 2015 national tour, this album also celebrates the band's participation in New Zealand's internationally famous World of WearableArt show 2015, WOW, which featured many of these same tunes as part of a spectacular theatrical extravaganza. The 12 tracks include the JBB's beloved & never-before-recorded version of the perennial Boulevard of Broken Dreams, featuring Nigel Gavin on blues guitar, Neill Duncan on the weeping one-handed tenor sax, and of course the fabulous klezmer diva Linn Lorkin on lead vocals.

" Stratospheric levels of talent and borderline insanity… like the hilarious whirling gypsy soundtrack to an as-yet-unmade Muppet Mafia movie." - The Argus. Brighton, U.K
"… messy, loose as a goose, over the top and simply wonderful … Jewish grunge on a roll!" - Real Groove Magazine NZ
