In January of 2006, while finishing the final mix of A Hundred Miles Off,
members of The Walkmen joked about recreating Harry Nilsson's
Pussy Cats album. But, with a month off before touring to support their
new CD, the jokes turned into an actual recording session.
Just as the original album featured Lennon, Nilsson, and many of their
buddies, The Walkmen invited their own friends to join them. The Walkmen
were joined by vocalists Ian Svenonius,
Quentin Stoltzfus, Alessandra Maria, and Rockwell. Also
on hand were "a string quartet, a saxophone player, an upright bass player, and
forty-one backup singers (later to be named 'The Saturday Night Marcata OBBQ')."
A DVD containing a 20-minute documentary film about the
making of Pussy Cats Starring The Walkmen was included with the initial
release of the CD. Visitor Comments: |
