Mishehu Holech Tamid Iti
Avraham Fried - Live in Israel

A cover of Ofra Haza's song and in my opinion a far better attempt at interpreting a beautiful Hebrew song. La'afukei mai? La'afukai kidi'amaran. Gut Shabbos!

Ofra's performance plus transliterated and translated lyrics, here.

Shama Vatismach - Helfgott

Have you heard this Helfgott fellow? A year or so of quiet so he's not over-exposed, and then BAM! This is power!!!

Please excuse the previous post. It seems it's a Kitrug on Nochi. Doesn't happen to any other tracks, pooh, pooh, pooh.

Shalom - Nochi Krohn

Thank you Hashem for Chanukah and for Yud Shvat. Shalom! Here's a bit of Country Yiddem.

Maoz Tzur - London School of Jewish Song

The thing with old-school Jew music--actually, lots of music--is that is is waaaay over-orchestrated. The bass line is dizzying on this track, it's almost playing [bad] lead; the horns between every signature are simply unneeded. Happy Chanukah!

Don't Forget - 8th Day

It is to the mushpa to know where to look, to the Mashpia to remember who's looking, and to all of us to remember that we are always both.

Hiney Kel - Nochi Krohn

Good morning, would you like a glass of mellow with that?

Nye Zuritzi - Andy Statman Quartet

This is such incredible and incredibly Jewish music! LOVE! Which is funny, because I have a special place in my heart for disliking klezmer. Oh, but Andy and his Quartet played at a wedding last night, and WOW! What a wedding! Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Do As I Do - Good Shabbos Every Buddy!

There are now 43 tracks in the "Shabbos Label." We are 40 numeric values short of making "שבת" be bigematria "ממש סו דיפ, א געוואלד!" This is the sixth day of the first week of the third month of the year and it is Friday. Good Shabbos Yingelach and Meydullz!
