War Years (Japanese paper sleeve edition)

Out Of Stock

Add Item to Want List
CD (Item 605959) Capitol (Japan), 1957 — Condition: New Copy

Eve Boswell recreates the tunes of the British war years – but does so with some fuller backings from the orchestra of Reg Owen, and some great late 50s production that really helps to deepen the sound! These are way more than nostalgic tunes – and instead of being early 40s remakes, they come across with just the right sort of maturity to unlock the sadness and longing in most of the lyrics – proof that songs penned this well can keep on growing over the course of time! Titles include "I'll Walk Alone", "It's Been A Long Long Time", "I Know Why", "A Little On The Lonely Side", "There I've Said It Again", and "As Time Goes By".  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
