In this follow-up to 2003’s We Shall Not Flag Or Fail, We Shall Go On To The End, Vancouver’s Geoff Berner has honed his unique sound to create an even more engaging and wonderfully perplexing collection of songs. Whiskey Rabbi features Berner’s klezmer-punk accordion stylings, accompanied by percussionist Wayne Adams and violinist extraordinaire, Diona Davies. Berner weaves a series of tales steeped in his wickedly edgy sense of humour, particularly in tunes like "True Enemy" and "Lucky Goddamm Jew." Listen carefully, laugh, frown, scratch your head, but don’t miss a word. Then sit back and take in the musical nuances that create this undeniably original musical package.
