Our Take

Ah, Connee Boswell, the crooning queen of the 1930s and 40s. Her hits and selected singles from 1931 to 1954 are a delightful journey through the golden age of jazz and pop music.

Boswell's smooth vocals and charming presence have stood the test of time, transporting listeners to a bygone era where swing was king and the big band sound ruled the airwaves.

Hits like "Moonlight and Shadows" and "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire" showcase Boswell's incredible range and emotive delivery, while lesser-known gems such as "What Do We Do on a Dew-Dew-Dewy Day" and "Wild About Harry" reveal her playful side.

The production quality may not be up to modern standards, but that only adds to the album's nostalgic charm. Every crackle and pop is a reminder of a simpler time when music was meant to be enjoyed, not dissected.

Overall, Connee Boswell's Hits & Selected Singles 1931-54 is a must-have for any music lover looking to explore the roots of American popular music. So grab a cocktail, put on your dancing shoes, and let Boswell's timeless melodies sweep you off your feet. This album is a true classic that deserves a place in every music collection.
