5.0 out of 5 stars Yowzah!, February 27, 2001
By David Scott "mottdeterre" (Claremont, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
All three volumes of this package are first-rate, and this is the one to own if you can only own one becuase it has two of the sister's all-time classics: the mind-boggling "It Don't Mean a Thing if It Ain't Got That Swing" and "Minnie the Moocher's Wedding Day." You can say what you want, but I say Connee, Vet and Martha invented rock 'n' roll.

5.0 out of 5 stars The third of an excellent five-volume series contains many e, February 9, 2003
The third of an excellent five-volume series contains many excellent songs. Most of their hits are to be found on volumes 1 and 5, although some of these songs were (and still are) popular with their fans.

In this series, there is a certain amount of duplication, so (for example) there are six tracks here that also appear on volume 4, which I've already reviewed. These are California medley part 2, O K America part 2, We just couldn't say goodbye, Sleep come on and take me, Down among the sheltering palms, Mood indigo and Forty-second street. However, if you play them back-to-back you can avoid the duplication easily as they are the first six tracks on volume 4.

This set opens with Was that the only thing to do? - the only top ten hit here. Among the non-hits, Minnie the moocher's wedding day, Hand me down my walking cane, Crazy people and their distinctive cover of Shuffle off to Buffalo are particularly noteworthy.

These excellent sisters were at the peak of their careers during the deep economic depression of the early thirties, when few people had money for luxuries. Even so, they were a major influence on many singers that followed and it is so unfair that they have faded into obscurity.

4.0 out of 5 stars Boswells Set the Standard, May 9, 2008
By A. D. Vanessendelft (Oneonta, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A great collection -- but I find cuts 2, 3, 4, and 5 to be unnecessary - the compilers have made a mistake - are they confused about what the purchaser wants to hear? The Boswell Sisters! All the other cuts are fine with 42nd Street and Shuffle Off To Buffalo at the top! I love cut 13: Charlie Two-Step!
