Burl Ives - Pearly Shells and Other Favorites
$ 15.00
Burl Ives possessed a voice like a warm hearth—comforting, familiar, and deeply resonant. By 1964, the folk revival was in full swing, and Ives, one of the grandfathers of the movement, released this incredibly charming, pop-leaning collection on Decca. The title track, 'Pearly Shells,' leans into the Hawaiian music craze with its gentle ukulele and swaying rhythm. It’s a thoroughly relaxed, easy-listening folk record that sounds best on a lazy Sunday morning. The vintage Decca pressing gives his booming baritone a wonderful, lifelike presence.
