This CD consists of two Hoagy Carmichael albums from the late 1950s making their CD debut, 'Hoagy Carmichael's Havin' a Party' and 'Ole Buttermilk Sky'. While composer Hoagy Carmichael holds the record for the most recorded love song of all time, "Stardust", he also made numerous recordings himself of which some achieved hit status. The two albums featured on this CD were recorded in the late 1950s and were some of the last commercial recordings he made. The first album, "Havin' a Party" is aimed at the children's market where he sings some of his best old and new songs for the young and old. The collection on the second album, "Ole Buttermilk Sky" shines with several never-before-recorded originals combined with some of his earlier hits that Carmichael revisits with a more up-to-date arrangement and backing. The CD ends with two very unusual gems previously only to be found on a 45 single release, including the Johnny Cash classic, "I Walk the Line".
