Review by Marco Iacoboni

The album "I Wish I Was In Peoria Hot Coffee" by Billy Jones & Ernest Hare (The Happiness Boys) is a delightful collection of tunes from the early 20th century. The duo's harmonies are tight and their voices blend together beautifully, making for an enjoyable listening experience.

The album features a mix of upbeat and slower tempo songs, with highlights including "I'm Gonna Bring A Watermelon To My Girl Tonight" and "I Ain't Nobody's Darling". The lyrics are clever and playful, reflecting the lightheartedness of the time period in which they were written.

One standout track is "I'm Just Wild About Animal Crackers", which showcases the duo's ability to make even the silliest of songs sound charming. The instrumentation is simple but effective, with piano, guitar, and occasional brass accompaniment.
