Our Take
Our Take
Al Bowlly, the crooner extraordinaire whose velvety vocals charmed audiences worldwide, is finally getting his due with this comprehensive collection spanning from 1927 to 1941.
Listening to The Al Bowlly Collection is like diving headfirst into a time machine, whisking you away to a bygone era of swing, jazz, and big band extravagance. Bowlly's voice is as smooth as butter on a hot crumpet, effortlessly gliding over each note with a sense of cool sophistication.
Tracks like "The Very Thought of You" and "Love Is the Sweetest Thing" showcase Bowlly's range and ability to convey heartfelt emotion, while his collaborations with the likes of Ray Noble and Lew Stone demonstrate his versatility as a performer.
But don't be fooled by the quaint charm of Bowlly's music – there's a subversive edge lurking beneath the surface. His rendition of "Guilty" carries a haunting sense of melancholy, while "The Way You Look Tonight" is imbued with a sense of longing that feels almost palpable.
In an industry inundated with manufactured pop stars and auto-tuned mediocrity, Al Bowlly's timeless talent is a breath of fresh air. So grab a cuppa, put on your dancing shoes, and lose yourself in the enchanting world of The Al Bowlly Collection – you won't regret it. Trust us, darlings.

Al Bowlly
Al Bowlly is a name that resonates through the annals of music history like the last chord of a melancholic ballad. This British crooner, with his suave style and dulcet tones, has left an indelible mark on the world of jazz and popular music. Born in Mozambique in 1898, Bowlly embarked on a musical journey that took him through the roaring twenties and into the swing era of the thirties. With his distinctive voice and charming stage presence, he quickly rose to fame as one of the UK's most beloved performers. Bowlly's career saw him collaborate with some of the biggest names in music, including Ray Noble and the legendary bandleader Fred Elizalde. His smooth vocals could turn even the most mundane tune into a soul-stirring masterpiece. But Bowlly's success was not without its challenges. His life was tragically cut short in 1941 when he became a victim of a German bombing raid during World War II. His untimely death left a void in the music world that has never been fully filled. Despite his relatively short time in the spotlight, Al Bowlly's legacy lives on through his timeless recordings and enduring influence on generations of musicians. His music continues to captivate audiences around the world, reminding us of the power of a great song and a talented artist.
