Al Jolson - Collected Works Of
The endlessly stunning Internet Archive hosts dozens of restored 78RPM recordings from the early 20th century. My favorite collection features Al Jolson’s ebullient pop vocals. The energy behind his singing always gets me; if you’ve seen The Jazz Singer, you know what I’m talking about. This compilation album collects 36 of his most popular tunes from 1911-1926 (including “Swanee,” “You Made Me Love You,” “Rock-a-Bye Your Baby,” and others). The sound quality is understandably lacking (coming from dusty 78s), but Jolson’s voice shines through.
You can download the album in a single ZIP file or as individual MP3 files of various bitrates from the link below.
