5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Early Crooner!, January 31, 2000
This review is from: Voice of the Southland (Audio CD)
The Voice of the Southland is an outstanding collection of songs by one of my favorite singers of the 1920s-1930s. The sound quality is excellent for recordings of this period and the selection of songs represent the crème de la crème of Gene Austin's early career (he had a semi-revival during the 1950s). Just a few of the twenty-five great songs on this disc include "My Blue Heaven," the biggest hit of the 1920s, "Ev'rything's Made For Love," "The Lonesome Road," "Just Like A Melody From Under The Sky," "Love Letters In the Sand," and "Ramona." I enthusiastically recommend this CD, another great issue from ASV/Living Era. The only other Gene Austin offering in print, Time To Relax, isn't as good as this one but still comes highly recommended, and at the time of this review is also available through Amazon.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars A now forgotten crooner, June 12, 1998
By 
wrboone@a.crl.com (Rockwall, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Voice of the Southland (Audio CD)
I am familiar with the works of Gene Austin for a number of years. All that had been available were scratchy old 78 rpm's. This digitally mastered CD eliminates the noise to reveal the smooth and easy ambiance that characterized his style and times. One the most popular crooners of the Jazz Age (Roaring Twenties), now largely forgotten. An excellent and rare find!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful crooning; don't miss this one!, June 11, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Voice of the Southland (Audio CD)
Gene Austin had one of the most beautifully smooth voices in the business. This guy could turn any song into a lullaby. Just listen to "I have a feeling I'm falling" and get a taste of this man's unique talent. The back-up bands are perfect - romantic yearning comes through in both the singer and his band. Lots of great tunes here. Austin is able to interpret each song perfectly for his angelic male voice. Romantic, relaxing, a perfect sound souvenir from the twenties.
