Jews With Horns is the third album by the American klezmer band the Klezmatics, released in 1995. 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".
Critical reception
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'."
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."
