Title: JUST A BOWL OF CHERRIES
Review: This is Vocalion's third volume devoted to The Boyfriends, (Volumes 1 & 2 were CDEA 6004 and CDEA 6073 respectively), and the fact that they are not available indicates how popular they were on initial release. Like Volume Two, the emphasis here is again on film selections, but mainly in instrumental form. There are some single tunes also, of which Carroll's version of "Shuffle Off To Buffalo" is a personal favourite, and Australian contralto Marjorie Stedeford puts in an appearance on "Black Coffee". The restoration is excellent, and Bob Francis' liner note provides a brief resumé of Carroll's career. Well worth looking out for.
