St. Charles, MO Author Publishes Musical Reference Anthology

Music


“Strange Jukebox”, a new book by Albert Krill, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

For over five decades, Albert Krill has lived on the outskirts of the mainstream, curating a music collection that defies conventional boundaries. Now, in his latest work, “Strange Jukebox”, Krill invites readers and listeners alike to explore the fascinating, often hilarious, and occasionally “questionable” corners of his massive archives.

“Strange Jukebox” is more than just a list of songs; it is a meticulously organized, multi-volume musical odyssey. The book is structured into five distinct “Jukeboxes,” each serving as a gateway to a different thematic world:

  • Jukebox One: Albert’s Alliterative Anathematic Anthology A 23-volume journey through everything from “Bohemian Bestsellers” and “Terrible Toilet Tidbits” to “Merciless Metal Malapropos” and “Jumpin’ Jesus Jams”.
  • Jukebox Two: My Magnificent Musical Menagerie A 35-volume celebration of the animal kingdom in song, covering everything from “Insidious Insects” to “Half a Hundred Horses”.
  • Jukebox Three: Reverberating Rainbow of Rhythmic Recordings
  • Jukebox Four: Genre Geographica
  • Jukebox Five: Meteorological Music
  • Krill’s collection is highlighted by staggering depth, featuring over 1,000 Bob Dylan cover artists (including 50 versions of “All Along the Watchtower”) and a definitive collection of the experimental titans Tangerine Dream. From Underground Hip-Hop with classical motifs to the biting parodies of Bob Rivers and “Weird Al” Yankovic, this anthology is designed to spark curiosity and stir fond memories of the music you never knew you needed to hear.

    Whether you are a seasoned crate-digger or a casual fan of the unusual, “Strange Jukebox” offers a rare glimpse into a lifetime of dedicated collecting, reminding us that sometimes the best music is found far from the “standard popularity” charts.

    “Strange Jukebox” is a 220-page paperback with a retail price of $23.00 (eBook $18.00). The ISBN is 979-8-89499-417-8. Published by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc. of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
