CD Reviews

Eclectic collection of Jolson numbers of variable quality

ajrecs | Lutherville, MD USA | 10/24/2001

(3 out of 5 stars)

"This two CD set contains an eclectic and somewhat erratic collection of 48 Jolson songs from studio recordings, along with radio and film cuts. Quality is variable, with a few tracks fairly good, and most others having some noise or cut beginnings or endings; at least one track, "About A Quarter To Nine," is edited. While I would not rely on this CD for clean cuts of these songs, it is inexpensive, and may be a reasonable addition to a starting Jolson library."
