Known for her sultry singing style and sexy album covers, Julie London released a string of LPs for Liberty Records beginning in 1955 with Julie Is Her Name, which featured the smash hit "Cry Me a River." Recorded in 1959 with Jimmy Rowles and His Orchestra, Swing Me an Old Song was her ninth album and included songs written by Stephen Foster and Shelton Brooks. Reissued on CD in Japan only, it is one of the rarest discs in her catalogue (not to be confused with a collection by the same name released in 1996).

All Music Guide: Everyone seems to have forgotten that rock & roll wasn't doing so hot with white audiences at the tail end of the 1950s until the Beatles hit the scene and had everyone going electric again. Instead of rockabilly, folk music and Dixieland jazz were huge in 1959 and young audiences were getting into old-time songs that their parents and grandparents knew. Swing Me an Old Song was Julie London's Dixieland-spiced folk revival effort. If it doesn't actually play to her strengths to be cast as a sexed-up version of Burl Ives, it takes some kind of real talent to be able to coo such hoary chestnuts as "Camptown Races" and "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" without embarrassing yourself too much. Thankfully, the song selection on most of the album is better than these two egregious examples of stale singalongs that should never have made it outside of summer camp. Tracks like "Cuddle up a Little Closer" and "Downtown Strutters' Ball" fit London like a satin glove, as does her downbeat take on "Bill Bailey, Won't You Please Come Home" (though she would cut an even better version of this on her 1966 release For the Night People). During the same year as Swing Me an Old Song, London also cut the cool jazz album Julie...at Home (which may just be her single finest work) and Your Number Please..., a swank orchestral set of standards. People often mention Julie London's limited vocal range, but it's surprising how far that her talent could stretch.

NOTE: This is not my rip. I found it online several years ago and believe from the EAC log and cover scans that it was sourced from an original CD.
