I dont know that Ill ever post entire albums here, but I have been working on a post to WFMU of a very nice Gene Marshall album. Time remains very tight at our home this week, and as a result, what Im offering today is a teaser for a much bigger post which will show up around 11 CDT tomorrow, 12/13/09 at ...3 days ago -
Its Norm Time!
The Wonderful and the Obscure —
Authority: 106
Time is very short today, so Im going to dispense with my usual wordiness and just introduce one of my favorite song-poem singers, Norm Burns, sounding even more than usual like an early 60s teen crooner, on "Baby, Give Me Some Lovin": And here he is, in supper club mode, with "Golden Moments": Finally, ...1 week ago -

Todays offering appears to be among the final records made by Rodd Keith for Preview, at least based on the available evidence. As my friend Stu points out, the label number for this one is within 100 numbers of the highest one found in the song poem database. And this is a pretty interesting one, at that, ...3 weeks ago -

Its Tin Pan Alley Blowout Day here at the home of Song Poem of the Week, with six for the price of two. And the usual two are free! Was there any other song-poem label which displayed more variety during its years of operation than Tin Pan Alley? From 1950s efforts in doo-wop , they moved into the sounds of the day, ...4 weeks ago
