Music reviews of Wayfaring Stranger
Music Review: One of the most essential folk albums ever
Rating: 5 Stars
This is the album that set the standard of the classic folk album for many generations yet other than many of these songs on the Flapper "Poor Wayfaring Stranger" album and a few other CD's, this album has never been issued on CD until now. The 29 songs on this CD are all classic folk songs, mostly done with Burl and his acoustic guitar with little or no orchestration. For example, the version of "On Top of Old Smoky" on this CD is all Burl and his guitar and the version on the MCA "Greatest Hits" CD is the recording featuring Percy Faith's orchestration. The songs are short and simple to understand and are set in the classic folk tradition making this one folk album you need to start your collection with. Contrary to another review of this item, Collectables basically copied the liner notes from the original vinyl and used them on this reissue as they still apply to the album to this day. The CD reissue has 3 bonus tracks that were not on the vinyl issue (for those looking for the vinyl: check zShops, Amazon Auctions, ...for that and only buy the mono version, which is what this CD uses, as the "stereo" LP is all rechanneled) and they really work well with the album so you can listen to them over and over again just like the original 26 tracks on the album.
Description of Wayfaring Stranger
At last! a comprehensive collection from Burl Icle Ivanhoe IVES "The Wayfaring Stranger". Burl's abiding love, was folk music. A simple, bearded troubadour performing unsophisticated songs without tricks or embellishments, he single-handedly filled concert halls on both sides of the Atlantic. He toured Britain in 1949 and 1952, and played the Festival Hall in London on his 44th birthday in 1953 in a Coronation Concert, excerpts from which make a fitting finale to this collection. Burl recorded for Asch and Columbia Records but all the titles included here are from his days at Decca, with much of the second disc being taken up with extracts from Bing Crosby's 'Philco' and 'Chesterfield' radio shows. Burl himself was regularly on the air with his own Philco show at the same time as Crosby. See also: JASMCD3524 - Lavender Blue - Songs Of Charm, Humour And SincerityFolk CDs
