Hits With Strings And Things

2009 collection, another fine installment in the excellent Golden Age of Popular Music. This edition contains the orchestral and 'easy' instrumental hits that helped define the Golden Age of Popular Music, an era spanning, roughly 1956-67, when the US charts were brimming with an eclectic cornucopia of sounds and styles that is unlikely to be repeated in today's age corporate, socially engineered music making. 28 tracks including cuts from Kai Winding, Paul Mauriat, the Village Stompers, Al Hirt, Lawrence Welk, Acker Bilk and many others.
