"Having lived in the Los Angeles area in the late l940's and being familier with the Kay Starr song, "I'll never be free", Andrews's has captured every word of that song! I enjoyed all the tracts as I enjoy all singing of Ernie Andrews. However..........the "I'll never be free" has been the one tract that I play over and over."

Ernie Andrews is in a class of hos own...

"I saw Ernie Andrews perform last night in Palm Springs, CA along with Herb Jeffries & Kay Starr all at a benifit for The Tuskegee Airmen. All were great, in fact I went there just to see Jeffries(age 89) & Starr nobody told me that Andrews was going to perform. It was a pleasant surprise, and he got a standing ovation. Andrews really sings jazz standards with a groove, singing on an equal level as blues singers like Jimmy Rushing or Joe Williams, or even early Billy Eckstine and Earl Coleman. Truly a talented artist who sang From This Moment On & Love Is Here To Stay, where he dropped the michophone stand cought it oh so smoothy and made it part of his act. I bought this CD "No Regrets" which he was selling after the concert. It is exellent and includes a most difinitive version of Ellington's little known gem "Don't You Know I Care." All of the tracks on No Regrets are either jazz standards or little known hidden gems, which Andrews transforms here into jazz standards, making every song his own. This highly enjoyable CD is recomended."
