Editorial Reviews

These essential recordings of the 1930s show America's attitude towards the state of the nation with Bing Crosby's Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams and Fred Astaire's We're in the Money , but also highlight the birth of jazz with Fats Wallers' Honeysuckle Rose and Bunny Berigan's I Can't Get Started with You . 20 in all.

This review is from: Nipper's Greatest Hits: The 30's, Vol. 1 (Audio CD)

A nice collection of 20 period songs that include some familiar selections such as Happy Days are Here Again, Stardust, We're In The Money, Moonlight Serenade and Kate Smith with Orchestra singing God Bless America along with 15 others. These are old recordings and a few do not have great sound quality as versions done later, but, are authentic. Amazon.com's music samples were very helpful.

This is a truly great cd for a certain age group like you might find in a nursing home. Call it 'music therapy' or just plain fun. I have not used it in the nursing home yet but I have been listening for my own pleasure. The heck with the nursing home; it's great therapy for me. Meaning, of course, that I have been having fun listening to this stuff. The songs are chosen well and the sound reproduction is excellent. These Nipper's Greatest Hits albums are always good.
