Wonderful Jewish Folk Music
author: Les Blatt
                            
This has been a favorite since it was first released, back in 1959. Bikel sings Yiddish with fervor and with an actor's ability to bring out the meaning in the songs, even for those of us who do not speak Yiddish. I do wish the CD came with the lyrics (as the original did), but that's a minor carp. It's a terrific album.

Tuneful, melodic, sounds great!

I loved this album as a child but hadn't heard it in years.  The songs are tuneful and melodic, and the sound quality is excellent.  Also, a great mix of mellow and more high energy songs.  And my infant son (13 months) dances to it!

TERIFFIC!

I owned the record version of this album many years ago, soon after it came out.  I wore it out, but since the advent of tapes and cd's I haven't been able to play it again until now.  I love this album!  I love the songs, I love the singer.  I love that it arrived so quickly after placing my order.
