Andrew Sisters - At the Microphone

This album covers the Andrews Sisters during the peak of their popularity in the 1940s all taken from radio performances from that period. Most selections were either contemporary hits from that time such as 'On the Atcheson, Topeka and the Santa Fe,' 'Buttons and Bows, 'and 'Ghost Riders in the Sky' or traditional standards like 'I Don't Know Why,' 'Blue Skies' and 'Ain't We Got Fun.' a few of these numbers include duets with crooners Bob Crosby or Curt Massey. These musical arrangements from radio are often much more interesting than those from their commercial recordings. Perhaps the highlight of this collection is a moving production version of their great hit '(I'll Be with You) in Apple Blossom Time' accompanied by Curt Massey and vocal chorus.
