Kay Starr - The Kay Starr Collection 1939-62 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The 3rd album from Jana Horn was written in New York and recorded in the Texas desert. Horn went to Sonic Ranch studio with her trio (Jade Guterman - bass / Adam Jones - drums) to record her self-titled record, comprised of 10 sonic landscapes which don't quite sound like they're from anywhere. Past comparisons to Yo La Tengo and Phil Elverum are still apt on InchLoveInch and InchAll in betInch, while spare post-punk rhythms drive InchDesignerInch and InchDon't Think.Inch In 2023 The New Yorker stated InchHorn's work aligns with a fraternity of the lonely that cuts across genres traces of Young Marble Giants, Syd Barrett, and Broadcast all waft through her songs.Inch

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.
