The album opens with the title track "Yiddishe Mambo," which features Katz's signature blend of Yiddish lyrics and Latin rhythms. The song sets the tone for the rest of the album, which features a mix of traditional Jewish songs and original compositions.
One standout track on the album is "Borscht Riders in the Sky," which is a Yiddish adaptation of the classic Western song "Ghost Riders in the Sky." Katz's humorous lyrics and lively instrumentation make this track a real crowd-pleaser.
Another highlight of the album is "She'll Be Coming 'Round the Katzkills," which is a Yiddish version of the classic American folk song "She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain." Katz's clever lyrics and playful delivery make this track a real treat.
