Nipper's Greatest Hits: The 30's, Vol. 1

Nipper's Greatest Hits: The 30's, Vol. 1 (1990) more music like this

by Various Artists

The 1930s were a tumultuous decade, and the record business almost went under after the stock market crash of 1929 and the Depression that gripped the nation. But in adverse times America still wanted to be entertained, and Victor provided much of the soundscape for that decade. This first of two volumes features escapist fare like Bing Crosby's ...

Hoagy Sings Carmichael

Hoagy Sings Carmichael (1956) more music like this

by Hoagy Carmichael

Hoagy Carmichael's last significant recording is a project whose format should have been repeated in later years. Sticking to vocals, Carmichael performs ten of his compositions including "Georgia on My Mind," "New Orleans," "Skylark," "Baltimore Oriole," "Rockin' Chair," and "Lazy River." What is unusual is that he is accompanied by an 11-piece ...

Stardust Melody

Stardust Melody (2002) more music like this

by Hoagy Carmichael and Friends

Stardust Melody, RCA's first document of Hoagy Carmichael's rich, folksy songwriting and gentle vocal artistry in over ten years, does near-perfect work of balancing great performances by Carmichael the endearing vocalist with several outside versions familiar to those who know his pop songbook. First, it leads off with an expressive solo ...

Sometimes I Wonder

Sometimes I Wonder (1999) more music like this

by Hoagy Carmichael

Howard Hoagland "Hoagy" Carmichael wrote some of the 20th century's most endearing and enduring popular songs. Active as pianist and vocalist and later famous as a character actor in motion pictures, Carmichael left behind a trail of phonograph recordings both timeless and charmingly dated. Living Era's Sometimes I Wonder brings together some of ...

Ole Buttermilk Sky (1998) more music like this

by Hoagy Carmichael

The Hoagy Carmichael Songbook [RCA] (1932) more music like this

by Hoagy Carmichael

The music of Hoagy Carmichael is celebrated on this 20-song collection of otherwise unrelated recordings from the 1932-1968 period. The earliest performance is Mildred Bailey's "Rockin' Chair," while the only post-1960 selection is the Living Voices' version of "The Nearness of You."

by Various Artists

Love Songs: Greatest Hits contains 16 romantic songs culled from RCA Victor's traditional pop and jazz vaults.

Hoagy Carmichael 1951 (1991) more music like this

by Hoagy Carmichael

The recordings on this Flyright disc were not made for public consumption; rather, they are taken from private lacquers cut at the home of a friend of Carmichael's who was an executive in a company that manufactured radio equipment. The sound quality of these selections is way above average for home recordings cut direct to disc, although some ...

Mr. Music Master (1993) more music like this

by Hoagy Carmichael

The most offbeat and proto-bohemian of the great songwriters who have contributed to the Great American Songbook, Hoagy Carmichael was as apt to write about actual places in memory, or the sheer passing of time or everyday tasks like doing laundry, as he was to spin out a traditional love song, and it has made his musical legacy a rich and varied ...

Great Composers [Avid] (1995) more music like this

by Various Artists

In the pantheon of Tin Pan Alley and American popular song, it's difficult at times to find the composers actually performing their own material. On this 21-track CD you hear some of those writers in performance, either conducting a band, collaborating, or singing. Unfortunately, digital reproduction cannot clean up the muddy original recordings, ...

Pure Nostalgia...And All That Jazz (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

Stylistically it's pure hodgepodge, but this ASV/Living Era compilation does excel at offering some of the best prewar material that traditional pop audiences identify as nostalgia. Whether it's a cowboy ballad, a French chanson, or a Hoagy Carmichael evergreen, the compilers aim for a sense of ennui that makes good use of that certain something: ...

Classic Hoagy Carmichael (1927) more music like this

by Hoagy Carmichael

The talented Hoagy Carmichael gained fame in his lifetime for his singing, acting and to a lesser extent his skills at the piano, but his most important contributions to music were made as a composer.

Legends & Songwriters in Concert 1941 (1998) more music like this

On February 25, 1941, the Greek Relief Fund staged a benefit concert at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Greece had recently been invaded by Italy, and though the U.S. was still neutral in the Second World War, sympathy for the Allies was already running high. But the show served a second purpose, in addition to raising money for a good cause ...

V-Disc Recordings: A Musical Contribution by America's Best for Our Armed Forces Overse (1998) more music like this

by Hoagy Carmichael

Unlike some of the other contributors to the V-Disc program, for the most part Hoagy Carmichael did not require an orchestra to back him, contenting himself with a piano accompaniment to his self-described "shaggy dog" voice. This leaves plenty of room for his individual interpretations of his own highly individual songs and makes for more sonic ...

All My Own Work: 17 Great Songwriters Perform (2001) more music like this

Until Bob Dylan and the Beatles came along in the 1960s, it was generally uncommon for songwriters to be professional performers as well, though it was not entirely unknown. The generation of songwriters born in the late 19th and early 20th century produced a golden age of song during the interwar period, and some of them also committed their ...
