I noticed that Rollingstone.com has posted this review (http://www.rollingstone.com/recordings/review.asp?aid=2043060) for the new "That's All Folks" CD set.
You can go there and rate the individual selections and even write a review for the CD if you feel so motivated. ;)
Anyway, here's what they say about it:
Decades before rappers began borrowing disparate samples to decorate their stories, Warner Bros. musical director Carl Stalling was incorporating snippets of jazz, popular song and classical music in the soundtracks to Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Porky Pig cartoons. An innovator in every sense, Stalling even invented the click track that is standard in modern studios for keeping overdub performances in synch. But he was no slave to rhythm, and the compositions on this lavishly annotated two-disc set are most notable for the way they offhandedly drive the story line while accenting the quirky and wonderful voices of Mel Blanc. For many fans today, these recordings were a childhood introduction to the musical genres Stalling drew from, making an afternoon with That's All Folks! the perfect form of regression therapy.
