Customer Reviews

Mediocre Overview of Tin Pan Alley Songwriting Skills
This is a nice compilation of songs that are largely forgotten today, with a little too much emphasis on certain "crooners" while ignoring others altogether. Nevertheless, it definitely doesn't deserve the one-star rating assigned to it by the other reviewer here, unless he had no idea what he was buying. But if someone is looking for an excellent overview of music from the 1930's, check out the astounding 4-disc box set from Bear Family Records entitled THE GREAT DEPRESSION: BOOM, BUST, AND THE NEW DEAL. It comes with a hardback book that includes loads of interesting notes and track annotations from Michael Brooks, along with publicity stills, reproductions of songbook covers, and photos of the 78's themselves. It's pricy but very few, if anybody, can compete with the quality of Bear Family releases.

Hey man, I'm so pleased with this crooner twofer!
Man, this CD has all my favorite crooners and has helped me to discover ones I might not have heard, if it had not been for this insightful cd re-issure, which is done perfectly. For starters i bought this for the Bing Crosby and Frank sinatra cuts, but discovered some truly great singers. Chick Bullock is my favorite singer on here, he really knows how to carry a tune, and he was one of the 1st white singers in the 30's to sing with an all black band(he was backed by Cab calloway, Ellington, Waller...), he was one cool dude, and probably one of the best singers that ever lived. I wish they would put out a whole box set of Chick Bullock & His Levee Loungers. Anyway Harold Arlen is a great crooner as well as Seger Ellis, man that guy really croons romantic. Dude if you don't get this cd your crazy. Buy it, and do yourself a favor, buy an Al Bowlly cd too, because he wasn't on this one, so buy this and an Al Bowlly cd. Buy it now, laterz.

I loves this
This cd very good. All great crooner is here. Bing is here Russ is here. All good jazz crooning is in this cd, you enjoy it, i promise.
