Top spots on this soundtrack have got to be the three members of the Wainwright family - the amazingly versatile Rufus, his extraordinarily talented sister Martha & their gifted father Louden. Outstanding & beautifully in keeping with the era of this film.

This acclaimed film uses original recordings as background music, interspersed with live performances by Vince Giordano and his Nighthawks that are as authentic a recreation as you're likely to hear. You'll not pick that up from the track listings, though, which fail to credit Vince with his full complement of recordings, showing instead the names of the vocalists in most cases. If you love the music of the Roaring Twenties you will not be disappointed.
