The vocal delivery of “Quick Joey Small,” by Joey Levine, is one of my favourites of all time — a faux-snottiness that both nods at the formulaic nature of Kasenetz-Katz productions, while transcending that very formula through an overriding conviction that draws the entire song into its orbit. It’s a great way to start Quick Joey Small, I’m In Love With You, the second of several weird Kasenetz-Katz ‘circus’ albums / compilations / cash-in endeavours. It’s a riot, though, from the daffy Beatlesque psych-pop of “Let Me Introduce You (To The Kasenetz-Katz Orchestral Circus)” through the Kinskian/Troggerific riffs of “Easy To Love.” There’s something profound in the way Kasenetz-Katz and their writing team pull together basic pop signifiers and create transcendent art through their endless interchangeability.
