This was one of the first early jazz albums I ever bought. I can't even remember why I bought this over others, but I am really very glad I did...she has such a lovely voice for such a young girl and a very mature voice also. Just listening to these recordings has taught me so much about the "voice" of the 1920s and inspired my work as a singer (ok, ok, so I'm just in the school choir, but hey, there's nothing wrong with busting out the 20s trills once in awhile!! :D) Anyways, I would definitely recommend this album for anyone who wants to get into 1920s jazz/pop/tinpan, its a really excellent album, although when you hear other albums like it you are dreadfully disappointed that the singer doesnt sound like Annette Hanshaw!!
