For a generation growing up in the 1950s, Burl Ives was the avuncular voice regularly heard on radio in the USA and UK, gently crooning novelty songs like I Knew An Old Lady, Blue Tail Fly and Big Rock Candy Mountain – these really were Children’s Favourites. This comprehensive collection of 50 songs is a timely reminder of the wide-ranging talent of the children’s favourite and renowned troubadour, Burl Ives.
