America's Wartime Sweethearts by The Andrews Sisters - DeepRiffs

COMPILATION

It's impossible at 17 tracks for a single-disc collection to comprehensively cover the career of the Andrews Sisters, who charted an astounding 113 singles during their Decca years from the late '30s through the early '50s, sold millions of records, and appeared in nearly 20 movies. This release hits the obvious high points, but it only scratches the surface of the legacy of this dynamic group, whose upbeat material and tight, well-arranged harmonies, along with a tendency to select rhythmic dance songs from several cultures (one of their best covers was a version of Lord Invader's calypso classic "Rum and Coca-Cola," included here), mark the Andrews Sisters as pop modernists.
