I put the cd on and peeked in the door and saw my mom boppin to the music of her era. I am the caretaker of my 90 yr old mom. I bought this for pleasure for my mom who has dementia. It was great to see her so lively. The cd's are of good quality and I am very happy with the purchase.
They remain one of my favorite groups even today.The CD starts off with their smash hit "Bei Mir Bist Du Schöen." The three sisters harmonize perfectly although, unfortunately, there is some surface noise on the track. Moreover, listen for "Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positive" by Bing Crosby together with The Andrews Sisters. 20th Century Masters: The Best of the Andrews Sisters is an excellent, budget priced CD that gives people an excellent introduction (or a brief retrospective of) the marvelous sounds of The Andrews Sisters. They possessed an incredible ability to harmonize swing tunes and make them sound positively electric. This inexpensively priced collection should be enough to whet the appetite of newcomers to The Andrews Sisters; and fans on a budget will enjoy this CD, too. At any rate, I think you'll like "Bei Mir Bist Du Schöen" very much. "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" switches gears very quickly; this next tune on the album swings brightly and the sisters keep up a great, fast rhythm that impresses me very much."Rum And Coca-Cola" is a great Latin themed ballad that was very popular at the time; and this swingin' tune sounds as soft and romantic as silk when The Andrews Sisters perform it.
The background chorus sounds great, too.The liner notes aren't much but you buy the CD for the music anyhow. The Andrews Sisters were extremely popular in their day and this CD demonstrates why. When Bing recorded with The Andrews Sisters there was always an excellent tune as the result of it; and "Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positive" is certainly no exception.The album ends with "I Can Dream, Can't I." This sweet number gets the royal treatment and the strings enhance this ballad very well. "Hold Tight (Want Some Sea Food)" has the sisters singing once again; and they never sounded better. Incredible."I'll Be With You In Apple Blossom Time" again has surface noise; but this romantic ballad is at its best when these three sisters sing it. I do wish, however, that they had added a song or two--at 35 minutes the CD is a tad short.In short, The Andrews Sisters really shine on this CD even with a bit of surface noise on a couple of the twelve tracks.
This was great. It has the songs I wanted most. Sound is clear. Neat CD.Glad I can get this stuff from Amazon.
I love this CD. I play it all the time now and my 2 young daughters love it too. We walk aroung singing "Hold tight." and I've played it for my friends as well. We think it's a hoot that these girls were really jammin back in the 40's and the big bands in the background are amazing.
HAD THE THE RECORD BEFORE. I HAVE NO MORE RECORDS, I HAD TO GET THE CD. IT'S GREAT TO HEAR THEM SING AGAIN.
