CD Reviews

Kay Kyser's Best Really IS...

Steven Beasley | North Hills, Ca. United States | 10/24/2000

(4 out of 5 stars)

"As a Kyser collector for 11 years, this double CD IS the most comprehensive collection I've seen yet from the Ol' Professor of Swing. What most people don't realize is many of the tracks here are alternate takes, which makes this even better! From his early recordings on Brunswick to later Columbia hits, Kay, Ish Kabibble and the other featured vocalists are well represented here. For more info on this once hugely popular, but almost forgotten Big Bandleader, go to kaykyser.net C'mon chillen, Yess Dance!"

The Ol' Perfesser ...

Steven Beasley | 08/12/2000

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Not just PURE corn, this compilation contains many serious renditions of classics (Ole Buttermilk Sky, On a Slow Boat to China, etc.). The novelty tunes, frankly the reason that I bought the CD, cover the gamut of silliness. We all know "Three Little Fishies" but how many can say that they have a copy of "Horses don't Bet on People"! With 36 songs, on two CD's, you can be assured that you'll know all there is to know about Kay Kyser, avoiding any remedial Klasses at Kollege. (and Mike Douglas! He didn't have a voice when I watched his TV show as a kid. Apparently he DID when he worked with Kay.)"

This is how a "Best Of" should be...

K. Williams | 09/27/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I'm trying to enhance my collection of recorded music from the period, but the 30s and 40s are a little before my time. So, I'm using Joel Whitburn's "Pop Memories" to guide me as I go about collecting this music.31 of the 36 tracks on these two discs are listed in Whitburn's book - a huge track-count and an admirable percentage of ORIGINAL, "Best Of" recordings. (It really bugs me if a recording isn't "the original".)Plus, Kyser and company's popularity at the time makes this one of the best musical investments I ever made."
