He was the voice of many of our favorite cartoon characters. He was Mel Blanc, the greatest voiceover artist the world has ever known, and here, on one 25-track CD, are the "looney tunes" and "merrie melodies"âhe cut for Capitol from 1948 to 1957. Label luminaries like Billy May, Mickey Katz, Lou Busch, Dave Cavanaugh, Lou Bring and Van Alexander provide accompaniment, and, of course, the cast of characters is large (what we wouldn't do to have been present at these sessions)! Liner notes reveal the brilliant man behind the voices.
MEL BLANC MUSICReviewed by Emilie Gant, 2007-01-09
If you really enjoy loony toons cartoons with Mel Blanc voices, you may enjoy this cd very much. We were actually only looking for the one song...The Hat I Got For Christmas Is Too Big...but after listening to the whole album we enjoyed it very much.
What do you think his name is? Melvin!Reviewed by Johnny Heering, 2006-08-15
Mel Blanc was best known for doing the voices of literally hundreds of cartoon characters, including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Woody Woodpecker, Yosemite Sam, Barney Rubble and many more. But he also made dozens of novelty records. He actually had hits with "Woody Woodpecker", "Toot, Toot, Toosie" and "I Taut I Taw a Puddy Tat". This CD features 25 of his novelty records. Most of the songs here are good, but some of my favorites are missing. I really wish this CD included "Big Bear Lake", "K-K-K-Katy", "Ten Little Bottles" and "Daffy Duck's Rhapsody". There would have been room for them if they hadn't included so many Christmas songs. Four Christmas songs is a bit too many for a non-Christmas CD, one would have been plenty.
