CD Reviews

The more murray the merrier
Donald T. Wardlow | goose creek, sc usa | 04/29/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Not long ago, Archeophone Records gave us the first CD of Billy Murray songs, and his fans, the few of us there are, were ecstatic. So imagine, at 1/3 the price, an album with 15 songs Archeophone didn't use. yes there are duplications, but that's a small price to pay for more of this first great American pop star. Even one of the duplicates isn't an exact copy--"Casey Jones," which I learned as a kid, and which I could hear a thousand times. it's such a good song the great Alan Sherman did a parody of it in the '60s. This version of it is quite different from the one on the Archeophone disc. "Mother Hasn't Spoke to Father Since," and "I'm Afraid to Come Home in the Dark," show us married life in 1910 isn't too different from married life now! Dr. Demento played "Casey Jones," "Little Old Ford," and "Get out and Get Under," in the '70s, along with other Murray songs that may never be released on CD's. but this one, like its predecessor, is one an oldtime music fan must get hold of."
