Our Take
Ah, 1940, what a year for music! Various Artists' compilation "The Hits of the Year 1940" takes us back to a simpler time when swing was king and crooners ruled the airwaves. The album kicks off with the infectious big band sounds of Glenn Miller's "In the Mood", a track that's guaranteed to get your toes tapping and hips swinging. It's a perfect introduction to the rest of the album, setting the tone for what's to come. Other standout tracks include the soulful ballad "Over the Rainbow" by Judy Garland, which will have you reaching for a tissue as you reminisce about lost love, and the catchy "Chattanooga Choo Choo" by the one and only Glenn Miller. But it's not all smooth sailing on this compilation. Some tracks, like Bing Crosby's "Only Forever", feel a bit too saccharine and dated for modern ears. And the less said about the novelty tune "The Hut-Sut Song" by Horace Heidt and His Musical Knights, the better. Overall, "The Hits of the Year 1940" is a delightful trip down memory lane, perfect for fans of vintage tunes and those looking to add a touch of nostalgia to their music collections. So grab your dancing shoes and get ready to jitterbug the night away with this charming compilation.
