Jews With Horns is the third album by the American klezmer band the Klezmatics, released in 1995.[4] It is the first album on which Matt Darriau performed, which led to his induction as a full member of the group. Marc Ribot is featured on the second track, "Fisherlid".[5]
The Washington Post thought that "the Klezmatics are capable of the slow, lovely, horn-and-violin harmonies of the traditional 'Romanian Fantasy' or the exuberant Hasidic vocals of 'Nign'."[1]
AllMusic wrote that "the fast numbers ... are frenzied celebratory drinking songs—a true revival of the community spirit which spawned this eastern European brand of folk music."[2]
