Duets/Duets II: 90th Birthday Limited Collector's Edition

Search: Tramp
by: Frank Sinatra

Release Date November 22, 2005
These duets are wonderful. Sinatra had such style. There will never be anyone like him. The duets on these CDs are fabulous. The people who sing with Sinatra did a great job and the songs chosen were great. I would recommend this CD to anyone who is a Sinatra fan.

Cosmopolite Concert

Search: Tramp
by: Stephane Grappelli

Release Date March 26, 1996
Stephane was 86 at the time of this recording, and although his body was beginning to deteriorate his mind and his violin skills were still intact as is evidenced in this live performance from the Django Reinhardt Festival in Oslo, Norway in January of 1994. Backed by Marc Fosset on guitar and Jean-Phillipe Viret on bass, Grappelli runs through a set of 14 tunes/medleys as only he can. I've always felt that his best recordings were done outside of the studio where he could draw off of the energy of his fans and this album is no exception. Just listen to him swing on I Got Rhythm. And the 500 frozen fans (it was dead winter near the North Pole) warmed to his tender rendition of A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square. The icing on the cake is his ... Read More:

I Saw The Light

Release Date February 27, 2001
wonderful old music. brought back many great memories. many words we should all think of everyday. People today have lost their love of one another. We need to get back the old standards or how we treat out neighbors. We have the 33 rpm record and now enjoy having the CD to play while traveling.

Health & Happiness Shows

Search: Tramp
by: Sr. Hank Williams

Release Date March 23, 1993
I ordered this through Amazon from a seller named horizons50. They sent a similarly named CD but it was not what Amazon has shown. Amazon describes it as a double-CD with 49 tracks but horizons50 sent a single disc collection with only 37 tracks. The cover is different also.

Prodigal Son

Search: Tramp
by: Hank Williams

Release Date September 11, 2001
This set is a compilation Hank's vocals from the HEALTH AND HAPPINESS SHOWS cds (see my review of these). A bit pricey, the CD is certainly worth owning. Gone are eight HEALTH's fiddle tunes, wife Audrey's screeching vocals, seven "Happy Rovin' Cowboy" intros, and seven "Sally Goodin'" closes. The CD's producers carved out Hank's vocals while retaining one intro and one close. Then, they cleaned up the sound by using noise reduction. Everything sound newly recorded.

1. HEALTH AND HAPPINESS's contents were more complete and
satisfying, but their sound quality was annoying and irritating. Mercury Records did not use noise reduction on HEALTH, perhaps hoping to appeal to old-time radio buffs. The retained popping and crackling of the original acetates ... Read More:
