2004 compilation features 22 tracks including two bonus tracks,
'Jenny' & 'Feather On The Wind', from his 2004 album 'Moments
In My Life'. BMG.
Most Andrews Sisters compilations focus on the trio's phenomenal
run of singles in the late 1930s and early '40s. MUSIC LESSONS WITH
THE ANDREWS SISTERS bucks that trend by concentrating on the
group's work from the late '40s and early '50s. In this way, MUSIC
LESSONS is a unique collection, offering up 25 tracks of
lesser-known, yet thoroughly excellent material. Though the
Sisters' post-war period was less remarkable commercially, their
tight, intricate harmonies never lost any of their luster. Patty
Andrews gets a couple of solo spots, and guest appearances by Bing
Crosby and Red Foley mix things up a bit. Improved sound, and the
fact that many of these tracks are appearing on CD for the first
time, make this a special package for collectors and casual fans
alike.
Jane Russell is remembered for only a few of the two dozen films
she made, especially her racy debut The Outlaw and Gentlemen Prefer
Blondes, in which she partnered with Marilyn Monroe. She sang in
the latter, and in quite a few of her other pictures, too, and she
also made a series of recordings throughout her career, some of
which are gathered on this unlicensed British release. First up are
a couple of singles she cut with Kay Kyser's band in 1947, then all
eight tracks from her LP of the same year, Let's Put Out the
Lights. These ten selections also turned up on Sony's 2002 CD
reissue of Let's Put Out the Lights, meaning this material, after
being out of print for half a century, quickly became available on
two different discs. Many of the other tracks represent Russell's
studio recordings of songs she sang in her films, such as "Kisses
and Tears," on which she's joined by co-star Frank Sinatra, from
Double Dynamite (1951); "Five Little Miles from San Berdoo" and
"You'll Know" from His Kind of Woman (1951); "Am I in Love?" and
"Wing Ding Tonight," also featuring co-star Bob Hope, from Son of
Paleface (1952); and "The Gilded Lily" from Montana Belle (1952).
Russell originally recorded these songs for Columbia, London,
Capitol, and American Records, and they have gone out of copyright
in Europe after 50 years. Remastered from old 78s, the sound here
is noticeably muffled, especially when the Columbia sides are
compared with the Sony reissue. But Russell turns out to have a
good voice that, as a trained actress, she adapts well to the
different demands of the material. The eight songs from Let's Put
Out the Lights are bedroom ballads on which she sounds like she's
ready to climb under the covers, and possibly not to go to sleep
right away. With Sinatra and especially Hope, she's feisty and
funny. The release of this rare material is welcome, and there's
more where it came from. ~ William Ruhlmann
