This review is from: Complete Standard Transcriptions (Audio CD)

Varese introduces the fans to the "Complete Standard Transcriptions" of the man we call the "Polka King" ~ Frankie Yankovic. Now Yankovic is the "Godfather of Polka", much like Bill Monroe is the "Father of Bluegrass". At the age of 15, began playing the accordion around town ~ he was self taught and became one of the most saught after polka bands ever to appear on the American scene. This 2-CD-Set collection has the ultimate of Frankie's essential hits "BLUE SKIRT WALTZ", "JUST BECAUSE", "BEER BARREL POLKA" and thirty eight more selections with a sound quality that is right up there with vintage written all over it. Loaded with consistent performances, all original releases are "Pure Yankovic", with that signature happy sound. Frankie's music always brings a smile to your face, not to mention a spring in your step.
