Southern Gentleman of Song is an affordable but brief CD with 11 performances from Phil Harris' radio program, which he co-hosted with his wife, actress Alice Faye. Recorded circa 1949, these airshots were broadcast in the midst of Harris' hitmaking period with RCA, but only one hit song ("That's What I Like About the South") is featured. Harris duets with his wife on "Baby, It's Cold Outside," while the remaining songs are solo vocal performances. Even with the humorous between-song banter, this CD is under a half-hour in length, but the reasonably good sound quality and nostalgic appeal of old-time radio make this a worthwhile purchase for those who already have a collection of Harris' RCA hits and want more. ~ Greg Adams, Rovi
