All the best by Patty, Maxine and LaVerne-two dozen harmonious classics on a single CD! Includes their hits Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy; Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen; Shoo-Shoo Baby; I Wanna Be Loved; Rum and Coca-Cola; I Can Dream, Can't I?; Shortenin' Bread; Say "Si, Si"; Pennsylvania Polka; Tico Tico; A Bushel and a Peck , and more.
The Andrews Sisters came on the scene in 1938 with Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen, and closed out their era (early fifties) with the dreamy balled, I Can Dream Can't I? and the monster smashes in between with Rum and Coca-Cola and Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy to name just a few. Their blissful passion shines on through in this 4 disc collection of some of their most popular tunes. Disc One and Two are all their Top Ten hits in chronological order. Disc three and four are full of rare tunes that are also quite enjoyable. You can't listen to these tracks and not tap your feet and sing along. The Andrews Sisters recorded every kind of song imaginable and it's amazing how well it all holds up after all these years. The sisters musicianship and blend was truly amazing and the Vic Shoen orchestra was brilliant in styling accompaniments which actually let the Sisters perform a capella with only bass and drums underneath them, with instrumental inflections between vocals lines. The sound quality is AMAZING. This Andrews Sisters collection serves as a good introduction to an amazing body of work unsurpassed and still thoroughly enjoyable in the 21st century.

The sisters frequently recorded duets and there are plenty of those here. Danny Kaye is featured on three tracks including Amelia Cordelia McHugh - McWho and Big brass band from Brazil. Carmen Miranda features twice. Bing Crosby also guests on two tracks, one of which also features Nat King Cole. Other guests include Burl Ives and Ernest Tubb. If you already have most of the obvious songs and enjoy them enough to want more, then you will love this collection.
