Al Jolson - The Immortal Al Jolson

Review by Patricia Patty

The Immortal Al Jolson album is a timeless classic that showcases the legendary Al Jolson at his very best. Released in 1950, the album features some of Jolson's most iconic performances, including "Swanee," "My Mammy," and "Rock-a-Bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody."

Jolson's powerful voice and magnetic stage presence are on full display throughout the album, and listeners are transported back to a bygone era of vaudeville and early Hollywood musicals. The album also includes some lesser-known gems, such as "Waiting for the Robert E. Lee" and "April Showers," which demonstrate Jolson's versatility and range as a performer.
