First Crooners 2 1930-1934/ Various - First Crooners, Vol. 2 1930-1934

It has been written that the crooners and their writers dealt with adult love expressed in baby talk with a steady sprinkle of tears. But their song settings, at least in this collection, are very often out-of-doors, in a beautiful garden of love. We are among flowers and birds, under the moon and the stars, and we are building up, every so politely, to that big goodnight as dawn is breaking. The crooners are, for the most part, light-voiced and sing quite high. Their diction is generally excellent, a far cry from the jazz and blues singers of the 1920s.
