The list of Klez reviews
If you are new to klez and want recommendations, don't write me--wander through the reviews and see what sounds interesting. Join the jewish-music mailing list and ask the assembled participants what they like. (On the other hand, if there is a band that I haven't reviewed, and it sounds like my kind of band, do write. And if your local music store can't or won't stock the albums you're looking for, write the bands directly, or consider the online ordering sources.

The Klez top ten (more or less) -- Ari's Choice—
Old and new stuff I'm listening to now. I have made no attempt to assign priority. If there aren't any links, I'm reviewing the album and it's noted here just to let you know it's out, and how it's fitting in so far.). Last updates Sep 2022.
