Customer Reviews:

many good songs and variety.......2002-06-28

This is a good compilation of some popular songs in the '40s. They don't make it absolutely clear, but all except the 2 "Rod McKuen" songs are original. I'm not crazy about them sticking in late recordings, but he's not too bad; I doubt he'd cut it as a real '40s singer, though, when they required you have the talent. He's not bad, but still too breathy, including running out of it; passes beyond today's low-talent standards but recorded bands in the '40s wouldn't stand for it. As for the original recordings, now that I have a good CD system in my car, I can hear that some are "remastered" and some aren't. They're all good/great songs, but some sound great and others sound dated quality-wise. All are clear, just definitely muted in monotone. Songs by Jo Stafford and Doris Day sound fantastic, as does "Dream" and a couple others! And I love that they have "They're Either Too Young or Too Old", which I've adopted as my anthem....although not because of the draft!
