| | Bing Crosby Radio Years: 25 Songs CD Bing Crosby Discography of CDs
All the music heard here was recorded between 1946 and 1954, during Bing Crosby's postwar singing career. Crosby teams up with some of the great entertainers of the 20th century, including Peggy Lee, Bob Hope, Maurice Chevalier, and Judy Garland.
Highlights include George "Sugar Throat" Burns' goofy version of "It Might as Well Be Spring," and Jimmy Durante's raspy toned comedy on "You Gotta Start Off Each Day With a Song." However, Crosby's jazzy version of "Everybody Loves My Baby" is perhaps the most endearing of the many selections included on this expansive compilation.
Includes liner notes by Dave Dexter, Jr.
Personnel includes: Bing Crosby, Peggy Lee, Dennis Day, The Mills Brothers.
Personnel includes: Bing Crosby, Judy Garland, Nat "King" Cole, Peggy Lee, Maurice Chevalier, Dennis Day, Jimmy Durante, The Mills Brothers, Bob Hope, Burl Ives, Kay Thompson, The Williams Brothers, Rudy Vallee, George Burns, The Andrews Sisters.

The particular radio years referred to here are 1952-1954. Astonishingly, there's nary a Christmas song in sight on this collection, making it an anomaly in the world of Crosby CDs. There's also a minimum of showbiz chatter; you pretty much get the songs and the applause, with the occasional introduction crediting either the songwriter or the artist best known for performing the song. There's just enough jiving on the duet numbers to make it feel live without getting in the way of the music. And the material is first-rate, with a track list that includes "Singin' in the Rain," "Young at ...

Radio Years: 25 Songs music CDs
$9.69
The very title of Super Active Wizzo suggests a fizzy, over-charged, amped-up version of Roy Wood's first band as a leader, Wizzard -- and, in a way, that's exactly what Wood's Wizzo Band was, with its lone 1977 LP recalling nothing so much as Wizzard Brew. No song on this six-track album clocks in at under five minutes, with two weighing in at over the 11-minute mark -- a structure mirrored on Wizzard Brew, which was dominated by nine and 13-minute tracks. But where that album was consciously a heavy, heavy rock & roll album, almost metallic in its attack, Super Active Wizzo has a lighter touch, preferring galloping rhythms and jazzy harmonies to bludgeoning riffs. Wood teases listeners with a pop hook every once and a while -- and the one that provides the structure for "Waitin' at This Door" is pretty good. This may hint at jazz-rock, but only in how it rides a groove: there is no improvisation or soloing, and the grooves stay in one place for long stretches. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
