Four recent releases for your consideration:
***********************************************************************************
"Gone Country" CK 269
#1 hit for Alan Jackson in 1994.
**********************************************************************************
"Let the Good Times Roll" CK 268
A jump blues song originally recorded in 1946 by Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five. One of Jordan's best-known songs, this mid-tempo twelve-bar composition became a standard. Our version is based on BB King's 1999 album "Let The Good Times Roll".
**********************************************************************************
"Blue Skies" CK 265
This time-proven song by Irving Berlin has been in movies and on Broadway. At the song's Broadway debut in 1926, audiences cheered wildly, demanding and receiving 24 encores!
Over the years, "Blue Skies" has been recorded by almost everyone: 1927 (Al Jolson), 1935 (Benny Goodman), 1946 (Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire), 1946 (Count Basie), 1954 (Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye), 1958 (Ella Fitzgerald), 1978 (Willie Nelson, reached #1 on the charts).
Of course, all Chinook customers are far too young to remember any of the above. :)
"Blue Skies" is already a hit in the future! In the year 2390, both Commander Data and his brother sing the tune in the 2002 movie Star Trek: Nemesis. The song appears in various episodes of the 2020 TV series Star Trek: Picard. We challenge you to find any other square dance song available today that will, for a fact, still be popular 370 years from now.
Most square dance versions of "Blue Skies" are relaxed ballads. Our version is more energetic. We think you'll really get into the upbeat rendition of this timeless standard. Give it a listen!
**********************************************************************************
"Do I Ever Cross Your Mind" CK 267
Written by legendary American singer-songwriter Dolly Parton, the song was first released in 1976 as a duet (Chet Atkins and Dolly). Parton performed the song live throughout the 1970s. She released her solo version in 1982.
