About this product

Jo Stafford was one of the most popular and successful female vocalists of the post-war era, epitomising the style and mood which nostalgia buffs often refer to as Inchthe golden age of popular musicInch during the time before rock 'n' roll changed the business irrevocably. She racked up more than 100 hits, encompassing recordings as a member of the Pied Pipers and duet hits with Frankie Laine and Gordon MacRae alongside her solo chart entries. This year marks the centenary of her birth, and to mark the occasion we are releasing this great-value 106-track 4-CD set which comprises just about all her career hits in the Billboard charts and the Cash Box Top 40 for Capitol during the '40s and for Columbia after 1950. It naturally includes the No. 1s InchCandyInch with Johnny Mercer, InchTemptationInch with Red Ingle, InchMy Darling My DarlingInch with Gordon MacRae, and her solo No. 1 InchYou Belong to MeInch and InchMake Love To MeInch, along with dozens of other Top 10 classics. She was an extraordinarily versatile singer, and was able to handle any kind of material, with her hits including pop ballads, upbeat novelty songs, jazzy big band swingers and pure country tunes. This is a comprehensive overview of the recordings which made her such a popular star and made her a fixture in the charts even into the rock 'n' roll era, and is a fine showcase for a highly talented performer.

Wilderness Within You by Parker Millsap - It's been a time of intense, worldwide change over the past few years... or maybe it all depends on scale. Zooming out to a geological timeline, maybe not much has changed at all. On his sixth album Wilderness Within You, acclaimed singer/songwriter Parker Millsap explores this flux between the here and now and the big BIG picture, while reckoning with questions about humanity's place on this planet. The result is a study in contrasts the personal versus the cosmic, sparse acoustic compositions sitting next to rich psychedelic improvisations. Above all, Wilderness Within You is an understanding of darkness while expressing an abundance of gratitude for life itself. Musicians Parker Millsap Vocals, Guitar, Keys / Daniel Foulks Violin / Ross McReynolds Drums & Percussion / Calvin Knowles Electric Bass & Upright Bass / Ryan Connors Keys / Will Honaker Keys / Juan Solorzano Guitar, Pedal Steel / Mark Sloan Guitar, Pedal Steel / Jake Botts - Saxaphone - Additional Musicians Gillian Welch OKRAHOMA RECORDS
