Marvin Pontiac is also known as John Lurie. Personnel includes: Marvin Pontiac (vocals, guitar, sitar, harmonica, alto saxophone, Fender Rhodes piano, keyboards, Casio synthesizer, harmonica); Angelique Kiddo (vocals); Danny Blume, Marc Ribot (guitar); Jaime Scott (guitar, background vocals); Doug Wieselman (ocarina, baritone saxophone); Michael Blake (tenor saxophone); Steve Bernstein (trumpet, mellophone, background vocals); Art Baron (trombone); Evan Lurie (acoustic & electric pianos); John Medeski (piano, Clavinet, organ, Mellotron); Erik Sanko (bass, drums, background vocals); Tony Garnier, Tony Scheer (bass, background vocals); Calvin Weston (drums, balaphone, murds, background vocals); Adele Bertei, Veronica Bryant, Eszter Balint, Kate Fenner (background vocals). John Lurie is a brilliant and amusing musician, and his work with his band the Lounge Lizards strikes a nice balance between his sensitive musicianship and his wit. He masquerades here as the legendary (and fictitious) blues nutcase Marvin Pontiac. The West African-inspired "Small Car" is a charming song, while others, like "I'm a Doggy," border on precious. ~ Tim Sheridan
