CD Reviews

Its Al JolsOn not Al JolsEn and its wonderful.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I think the sound is wonderful; it doesn't sound like it was recorded a half a century or more ago. There is none of that tinny sound that old records seem to always have. IMHO there are no technical flaws at all on the recordings.As for the selections, I think if you just want to make one purchase of Jolson recordings (like I did) you can't go wrong. It has a wonderful selection of his hits for what amounts to fifty cents a cut. These are the ones I often sing (in fun) to my sunshine, like April Showers, Mammy, California here I come, etc., etc. These tunes are just great fun. I don't believe there is any equivalent in today's music at all. There is certainly no equivalent to Al Jolson."
