Bing - His Legendary Years 1931-57 [4 CD Box Set]

Bing Crosby was a laidback swinger, and this four-CD box spends a fair amount of its time reminding us of an era when the emphasis was as much on the swing as on the lazy-lidded attitude. Never as angst-ridden as Sinatra could be, and consequently not as multilayered, Crosby is nonetheless not a singer to be missed.

All deserve to be heard by fans of the American song book and stylish performances. --Rickey Wright
