UPDATE: Mike Wood over at the BSO sent me an update saying that the album is available at Barnes & Noble, Fenway Park souvenir stands, and over at Symphony Hall. Also, you can get it straight from the horse's mouth at www.bostonpops.org.
Keith Lockhart and his gang kicked off Fenway's Opening Day about a month ago with a plug for their latest release pointedly titled The Red Sox Album. I must admit that I first took this as one of those gag associations, you know, the kind that fall in line with "Official Plumbing Supplier of the Boston Red Sox." I mean really, it's not 2004 or 2007, the Blue Jays are in first place, and David Ortiz is making Nick Green look like Superman. Somebody must have missed the endorsement boat, right?
Wrong.
Turns out, this is a great album. From top to bottom, the songs are well composed, well recorded, and a blast to listen to. My favorites are "The National Game" and "Suite from the Natural," but the rest of the track list is equally impressive. The fare isn't exactly mind-blowing (I mean, if you're a pops orchestra, chances are "The Star Spangled Banner" and "Stars and Stripes Forever" are going to sound close to the same anywhere you go), but it doesn't have to be. It's the kind of album that feels like it should be played mid-summer while slowly pulling down Main Street in Cooperstown. Very classic.
The praise is not all positive as the corny, carnival-esque voice in "Casey at the Bat" makes it essentially unlistenable, and the electric guitar in "I'm Shipping Off to Boston" is a really campy attempt to make a pops arrangement sound badass (thankfully, the horns and percussion help balance this out).
Despite these minor flaws, The Red Sox Album is a success. People have been coming up to me to talk about the good things they've heard, but to this point I have no idea where you can buy this besides online. It's worth the effort to find it, though, as this record deserves its place on the shelf.

The French gourmet cheese Bleu d'Auvergne has a wonderful aroma, a rich taste; the saltiness increases with the incidence of veining. The overall flavor is piquant but not overly sharp. Bleu d'Auvergne started life as an imitation of Roquefort, using cow's milk in place of sheep's milk. Legend has it that a peasant, around 1845, decided to inject his cheese with a blue mold that he found growing on his left-over bread (the motto being, waste not, want not). And thus, the gourmet cheese Bleu d'Auvergne was born. This French gourmet blue cheese comes from the region of Auvergne and the cheese is made from milk of Salers and Aubrac cows. The rind is very thin and so the cheese is usually wrapped in foil. The cheese is rich and creamy with a pale yellow color and scattered holes and well-defined greenish-blue veining. We cut and wrap this cheese in wedge of 8 ounces and 1 pound.
