More Info:
2010 anthology of recordings from the beloved Folk performer. Burl Icle Ivanhoe Ives was an Academy Award-winning American actor and acclaimed Folk singer and author. Ives always seemed slightly out of place in the 1940s New York Folk scene, his pleasant voice and non-preachy manner making the traditional songs for which he was originally known into bona-fide chart hits. His radio show, the Wayfaring Stranger, popularized song like 'Lavender Blue' (his first hit, a Folk song from the 17th century), 'Foggy Foggy Dew' (an English/Irish Folk song), 'Blue Tail Fly' (an old Civil War tune) and 'Big Rock Candy Mountain' (an old hobo ditty), and they became part of many people's childhood memories. 33 tracks. Rev-Ola.
