Description
Praise The Lord & Pass The Ammunition captures the spirit of the American home front during World War II through twelve iconic recordings from the era’s biggest names. The Andrews Sisters deliver their irresistible ‘Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy’, while Spike Jones and His City Slickers offer sharp comic relief with the satirical ‘Der Fuehrer’s Face’. Louis Jordan’s ‘G.I. Jive’ brings his signature jump blues swagger, and Jimmy Dorsey appears twice, including the lush vocal showcase ‘Yours (Quiereme Mucho)’ featuring Bob Eberly and Helen O’Connell.
