Sing a Song with Knuckles O'Toole - Volume 1 (Grand Award Records GA-235 - 1958)

Sing-along party records were a staple of the 1950s, particularly those with vintage material from the early century. Most of them were instrumental only, but in 1958 both Grand Award and Columbia Records released some fine material with men's choruses through Enoch Light and Mitch Miller respectively. While the latter endured well into the mid-1960s, the Grand Award records of Sing a Song with Knuckles O'Toole had strong sales from 1958-1960, and were heard at many parties of the era. Miller went to television in 1961, cementing his durability. But there are many remaining fans of the two Knuckles O'Toole efforts. While Dick Hyman had been manning the piano during this era for the honky-tonk and ragtime entries, he was uncertain when asked if he had provided the backing tracks for this, and it was also not Billy Rowland. There were a few other talented NYC pianists who likely fit the bill. Anyhow, these stereophonic discs, of which this is volume one, are presented in the best possible light with the addition of lyrics on screen and a few visual punctuation points just for fun. Note that there were imbalances and some distortion on certain tracks released both on 33 1/3-rpm discs as well as 7.5 ips reel-to-reel tapes. They have been tackled as best as technology can allow, and are likely what was heard on the master edit. Anyhow, get your gang together and join in for the fun, revelry, joys, tears, etc., when you Sing A Song with Knuckles O'Toole! 0:00 Introduction/Knuckles O'Toole Medley Instrumental 02:31 I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover 04:35 That Old Gang of Mine 07:14 There Is a Tavern in the Town 09:43 It's a Sin to Tell a Lie 12:33 Don't Fence Me In 15:35 Casey Jones - The Brave Engineer 19:13 The Beer Barrel Polka (Skoda Lasky) 21:50 For Me and My Gal 24:39 Bye Bye Blackbird 26:54 Wait for Me Mary 29:33 There's a Long, Long Trail 32:17 Good Night Sweetheart
