Another collection with some really nice tunes. How can you go wrong with Gene Austin, Chick Bullock and Al Bowlly? The most interesting track here may be Bing Crosby's "Boo Boo Boo" in which he pokes fun at the phrase identified with his singing, despite his never having recorded the song to disc. This tune is from a film soundtrack. And some humor by the editors of the disc, they position "Learn to Croon" in the lineup just ahead of Crosby. Enjoy. +

Brilliant post. And I've only listened to one song!
Is there a volume one in the offing?
Thanks. I will post Vol. 3 at some point, but do not have Vol. 1. Since it didn't include any tunes by Chick Bullock, I never bothered to pick it up.
Would love to have Vol.1, too; Couln't find it anywhere. Thanks for this amazing collection.
You already posted Vol.3 in 2008 (http://pagingmrvolstead.blogspot.com/2008/12/melody-from-sky.html) :)
Thanks again!
Thanks, Shango. It's hard to believe that I've posted enough to forget which ones are up here. Next time I'll remember to click 'older posts' when I check. Either that or pick up some ginko biloba.
For anyone interested in crooners, I highly recommend the Art Deco double-cd set which can be found in the January 3, 2009 post (http://pagingmrvolstead.blogspot.com/2009/01/anytime-any-day-anywhere.html).
What a great collection! Even one from the elusive and mysterious Charlie Palloy. And great fidelity too, (considering) not a crackle or pop to be heard.
I noticed the the "Boo Boo Boo" song is credited to composers "Coslow/Johnson." I presume this is Sam Coslow who sang (and wrote) the previous track, "Learn to Croon." I guess he's poking a little fun at his own song.
