Various Artists - Autumn Leaves: 29 Gems For The Indian Summer (CD)

What was autumn like in earlier decades? This question is answered here nostalgically. Yes, this is about falling leaves, but also about Thanksgiving, the rain, wind and storms and of course the romantic melancholy of the Indian Summer. All this on 29 musical jewels from four decades! Among them an early rock 'n' roll instrumental by the recently deceased Dr. John, here still under the name Mac Rebennack! Or Ferrante & Teicher, who are In The Rain! Famous hits such as Come September, The Wayward Wind and Stormy Weather are included, as well as songs about heavy fieldwork, such as Cotton Picker by Eddie Cochran and Shuckin' The Corn, Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs! Famous female vocalists meet here, Etta James, Dinah Washington, Irma Thomas, up to Memphis Minnie with the oldest recording of this compilation, from 1930!
