Judy Garland - I Can't Give You Anything But Love 1938-1961

Judy Garland (1922-1969) sang about love throughout her life, but up to now no career-spanning CD collection has ever brought her greatest love songs together. Here then for the first time on JUDY GARLAND: I CAN't GIVE YOU ANYTHING BUT LOVE is Garland's take on the vicissitudes of love sought, love lost, love remembered. Based on studio sessions for MGM, Decca Records, Columbia Records, and Capitol Records, radio dates and live recordings all made between 1938 and 1962, the anthology, featuring songs by many of the great songwriters of the Great American Songbook, captures Garland's voice in youth, as a young lady, and as the mature artist. Both exuberant and melancholic at the same time, Garland's voice could take you from the ecstatic highs of love first encountered to the mournful lows of separation, and, above all, all the in-betweens of longing that were her specialty. The set, which includes a live "Why Was I Born?" from 1946 that is new to CD, has been compiled by the award-winning Garland historian Lawrence Schulman, who has been responsible for numerous CD sets devoted to Garland over the past 25 years, and has also written about her extensively for the ARSC Journal and other publications. Here is a collection no fan or music lover can do without. JUDY GARLAND: I CAN't GIVE YOU ANYTHING BUT LOVE is a contemporary contemplation on the subject of love by one of the greatest singers of the 20th century, and is not to be missed.
