Hit: 5 Stars
There are many different Al Jolson CD compilations available and all of them offer a taste of the talent of the man. However, many miss some of his best songs and do not offer a wide range of music. Although this CD features recordings done after the peak of his fame in the 20s, the benefit of new technology makes them easier to listen to. And lets face it; Jolie was never truly past his prime.
If you're ever feeling down, this is the CD to listen to. Even the sad songs are optimistic, or at least padded by happy ones. We have classics like "Sonny Boy" flanked by "California, Here I Come" and "Avalon." "Mammy," "Swannee," and "April Showers" all appear. We even get to dance to performances with Bing Crosby, the Andrews Sisters, and the Mills Brothers. If those titles don't tell you just how peppy this CD is, just look at the last song on disk two: "No Sad Songs for Me."
Some might look at the cover of Jolson in blackface and label him a racist. Unfortunately, that erroneous title has been associated with Jolson because of his work in minstrel shows. In truth, Jolson first donned blackface to conquer his stage fright; minstrel shows were incredibly popular during his time. None of the music reflects a demeaning attitude toward blacks and in fact, it often laments fondly about black friends or celebrates the jazz of New Orleans.
This is an excellent collection filled with songs sure to become favorites on a bad day or everyday.
