  • Description

    A simple bearded troubadour performing unsophisticated songs without tricks or embellishments, but Burl Ives still single-handedly filled concert halls on both sides of the Atlantic. This forty-nine track compilation features two top ten hits, "A Little Bitty Tear", "Funny Way of Laughin" and the top twenty "Call Me Mr. In-Between".

    Burl Ives was a true institution in America and this collection sits alongside Jasmine Record's previous two editions 'The Wayfaring Stranger' and 'Lavender Blue' perfectly and is a fitting tribute to the genius of the man. R.I.P. Burl. We miss your dulcet tones.
