FINALLY 2 OF THE MOST REQUESTED ALBUMS OF PERCY FAITH ARE GETTING A CD REISSIUE.I DON'T KNOW WHAT GREAT FOLK THEMES SOUNDS LIKE BUT I HEARD FAITH'S VERSION OF GREENBACK DOLLAR ON A FLORIDA RADIO STATION AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL AND WITH A BIT OF TEMPO PERCY FAITH STYLE.ALSO ON GREAT FOLK THEMES IS FAITH'S VERSION OF THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND.THE ONLY PATRIOTIC SONG HE WAS KNOWN TO DO.AMERICAN SERANADE IS THE REAL STORY HERE THOUGH AS IT CONTAINS BEAUTIFUL LUSH VERSIONS OF BEAUTIFUL OHIO,SUNRISE,CALIFORNIA,MOON OVER MIAMI,TENNESSEE WALTZ,CAROLINA MOON,HOME ON THE RANGE,SWEET LILANI AND MORE SONGS.HIS VERSION OF SWEET LILANI IS EVEN PRETTIER THAN MANTOVANI'S AND THE 101 STRINGS VERISION.I CAN'T WAIT TO ADD THIS ONE TO MY COLLECTION OF FAITH TITLES FROM COLLECTIBLES MUSIC.IT'S TOO BAD THAT THE RELEASE DATE ON THIS ONE HAS BEEN DELAYED FROM SEP 24TH TO OCT 15.I HOPE COLLECTIBLES WILL INCLUDE THE ORIGINAL LINER NOTES ON THIS ALBUM.BOTH OF THESE ALBUMS ARE WITH JUST THE ORCHESTRA AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE PERCY FAITH STRINGS.THE WOMENS WORDLESS CHROUS IS HEARD ON SOME SONGS IN AMERICAN SERANADE ESPECIALLY CALIFORNIA.IF YOU LIKE THIS CD I ALSO RECOMMEND NELSON RIDDLE INSTRUMENTAL FAVORITES IF YOU CAN STILL FIND IT.THIS IS GOT SOME OF RIDDLE'S MORE LUSH TUNES ON IT.I ALSO RECOMMEND PERCY FAITH THE BEATLES ALBUM/JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR WHICH I WILL ALSO BE ORDERING.BOTH OF THESE ALBUMS BY FAITH ARE ALSO VERY BEAUTIFUL.THIS ONE WILL BE OUT NOV 19.

GREAT FOLK THEMES FROM 1963 IS A LOVELY ALBUM.IT CONTAINS 12
FOLK SONGS BUT ONLY 6 OUT OF THE 12 ARE LUSH.THEY INCLUDE
FIVE HUNDRED MILES,THE LEMON TREE,GREENFIELDS,SLOOP JOHN B,
MICHAEL ROW THE BOAT AND BLOWIN'IN THE WIND.FIVE HUNDRED MILES
ENDS SO BEAUTIFULLY.THE REST OF THESE SONGS ARE BRASSY AND OCC
ASIONALLY THROUGHOUT GREAT FOLK THEMES YOU HERE A BANJO MIXED
IN WITH THE STRINGS WHICH I LOVE.DARLIN COREY IS ONE OF THOSE
SONGS WITH THE BANJO.THE ORIGINAL LINER NOTES TO GREAT FOLK

THEMES IS INCLUDED.

AMERICAN SERANADE ALSO FROM 1963 IS THE BETTER OF THE TWO ALBUMS.
ALL 12 TRACKS ON THIS ALBUM IS LUSH.SOME OF THE MORE LUSHER ONES
ARE STARS FELL ON ALABAMA,HOME ON THE RANGE,CAROLINA MOON,SWEET
LEILANI,AND MOON OVER MIAMI.THE ORIGANAL LINIER NOTES ARE INCLUDED FOR AMERICAN SERANADE.BOTH ALBUMS ARE WITH THE ORCHESTRA
AND STRINGS BUT YOU CAN HERE THE WOMENS WORDLESS CHROUS IN SOME
SONGS ON AMERICAN SERANADE ESPECIALLY CALIFORNIA.THIS CD IS THE
PERFECT ONE TO ADD TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL MUSIC COLLECTION AND I HIGHLEY RECOMMEND IT.

PERCY FAITH HAS A WAY OF TAKING A HO HUM POPULAR SONG AND MAKE A GORGEOUS CONCERTO OUT OF IT. JUST LISTEN TO THE SONGS "FIVE HUNDRED MILES", "MOONLIGHT IN VERMONT" AND "AUTUMN IN NEW YORK". NO WONDER THAT GREAT SINGERS LIKE TONY BENNET & JOHNNY MATHIS HAD THE PERCY FAITH ORCHESTRA AS THERE ACCOMPANIMENT IN SEVERAL OF THEIR SONGS.
