Our Take

BURL IVES Very Best Of Review:

Ah, Burl Ives. The man, the myth, the legend. Known for his deep, velvety voice and folksy charm, Ives has been a staple in the music industry for decades. And now, we have been blessed with his very best collection.

From the moment you press play on this album, you are transported to a simpler time. A time when music was pure, storytelling was key, and a man with a banjo could capture the hearts of millions. Ives' timeless classics such as "A Little Bitty Tear" and "Big Rock Candy Mountain" are like a warm hug on a cold day.

But don't be fooled by his gentle demeanor. Ives had a mischievous twinkle in his eye, and it shines through in songs like "Foggy, Foggy Dew" and "Blue Tail Fly". His playful spirit is infectious, and you can't help but tap your foot along with the music.

The production on this album is top-notch, with each track sounding crisp and clear. The instrumentation is beautifully arranged, highlighting Ives' impeccable vocal range. It's like being wrapped in a cozy blanket of sound.

So, do yourself a favour and pick up Burl Ives' Very Best Of today. It's a musical journey you won't want to end. Trust me, you'll be singing along in no time. Cheers to Burl Ives, a true icon of American music.
