    All Music Guide Review

    Featuring a dozen-plus-two stunning vocal tracks by some of the greatest pop and jazz singers of the 20th century, Balladeers includes a pair of Louis Armstrong vocal gems, "When It's Sleepy Time Down South" and "That Lucky Old Sun (Just Rolls Around Heaven All Day)"; Mel Tormé's stunning and definitive "That Old Black Magic"; Nat King Cole's "Sweet Lorraine"; and two stone cold classics from Johnny Hartman, "Lush Life" and "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning" -- all of which make one realize how much pure melody has gone out of the pop charts in the early going of the 21st century. Nowadays it's all about the beat and rhythm, but it wasn't always so. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide
