	Amazon.com: The Best of the Andy Williams Show (1962): DVD
		My mother's favorite singer was Andy Williams when I was growing up so he was perceived by me as a singer for "the older generation." Now that I've entered my forties, I think I've become part of that generation (!), which is why it's so enjoyable to discover DVD's like this.
		My favorite is Williams' duet with Tony Bennett and his solo version of the relatively unknown title song from "The Pawnbroker" which is just excellent.
		During its nine year run on NBC (1962-1971), "The Andy Williams Show" was enjoyed by millions of people around the world and won three Emmys for "Best Variety Series." Here is a compilation, hand-picked by Andy, of priceless moments from the Golden Age of live television.

	BBC - Folk & Country Review - Tony Joe White, The Heroines
		White gives centre stage to some of his Heroines throughout, and it's these duets with queens of Americana - Lucinda Williams, Shelby Lynne, Emmylou Harris, singer and Waylon Jenning's widow Jessi Colter - which are easily the standout tracks on this album.
		Chris Rea is a Tony Joe White immitator since his first record.
		His time spent as a session musician and songwriter means that this expert lyricist and nimble guitarist has become accustomed to staying in the background.

	count basie @ lovelandJAZZ - loveland, ohio
		Many big bands, including Basie's, went under after World War II, but by 1952 he was back with one of his best bands ever, featuring Thad Jones and Joe Newman on trumpets, Frank Foster and Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis on sax, and singer Joe Williams.
		If you think you've never heard Count Basie, think again: virtually every Jazz or pop singer between 1950 and 1980--Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, to name just a few--recorded with Basie.
		Basie had great bands in every decade from the 30s to the 70s but his only "hit" record was the goofy 1947 "Open the Door, Richard."
