The Martha Tilton Collection

Martha Tilton, darling of the swing music scene, has compiled a delightful collection spanning from 1937 to 1952. This album is a time machine, whisking us away to a bygone era of swing dancing and Coca-Cola adverts. Tilton's silky smooth vocals are like honey for the ears, dripping with nostalgia and charm. The opening track, "And the Angels Sing," sets the tone for the entire album - upbeat, jazzy, and oh-so-swingin'. Tilton's voice glides effortlessly over the horns and drums, transporting us back to a simpler time when the Lindy Hop was all the rage. Each track on this collection is a gem, showcasing Tilton's versatility as a vocalist. Whether she's belting out a big band number or crooning a slow ballad, Tilton's voice never fails to captivate. It's no wonder she was a favourite amongst the swing crowd back in the day. Standout tracks include "I Should Care" and "How Could You Do A Thing Like This To Me?," where Tilton's emotive delivery leaves us feeling like we've been punched in the gut (in the best way possible). This album is a must-listen for any fan of swing music or anyone in need of a musical pick-me-up. So put on your dancing shoes, grab a partner, and let Martha Tilton whisk you away to a time when music was king and swing was the thing. Trust me, you won't regret it.
