The three-disc box set Cry Me a River is a budget-line collection including 42 songs, about half from Julie London's prime between 1955 and 1958 and half from her later period between 1963 and1965. Since most of London's songs were at or under the two-minute mark, Disky could almost have fit every track on one CD. Still, there are plenty of coquettish favorites here, including "My Heart Belongs to Daddy," "'S Wonderful," "Love for Sale," "Days of Wine and Roses," "June in January," and the title track.
