Al Jolson's comeback in the late '40s, after the biopic The Jolson Story rejuvenated his career, resulted in a few hit recordings and a lot of singing work, both in concert and on the radio. An Evening With Al Jolson collects 20 of those radio performances from the '40s (though no information is given), each of them as combustive and euphoric as he was known to be in his heyday 40 years earlier. Jolson spends most of the time ably singing material from an earlier era, though not many are among his well-known songs from that era.

Lee" and "Is It True What They Say About Dixie?" The Jolson treatment rarely varied from song to song, however, and the ephemeral nature of these recordings doesn't make for intriguing listening. ~ John Bush, Rovi Read Less
