Description:

This is the fourth in a series of catalog reissues by Bethlehem, a prestigious jazz label in New York. This is a unique collection of folk songs by club entertainer Frances Faye. Backed by Russ Garcia's band, Faye sings everything from well-known folk songs to Negro spirituals, and her dry, husky singing with full of personality is wonderful.
