CD Reviews

Another great Big Broadcast compilation!
A. W. Senior | Utica, New York United States | 07/02/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I just received this as a membership premium from WFUV, and it is excellent. It is fully as good as the first compilation, with esoteric recordings beautifully transferred to please the aficionado of vintage pop and jazz and the novice alike. Rich Conaty and the people at Rivermont have succeeded once again in producing an invaluable selection of great music.



Skeptic (Northeast) may gainsay this, but it's good stuff, and I commend it to your attention. Let him do his worst."
Big Broadcast, Big sound

"Really enjoyed this compilation. Excellent music right from the first track by Eva Taylor. The liner notes included are read worthy. As someone who enjoys music from the 20's and 30's, I can't recommend this album enough.

All the Big Broadcast compilations are unique in their own way but they just take you to a magical place that's worth going to often."
