This collection of poet Robert Burns' lyrics, some time-honored songs, others especially set to music by Alton Rinker, is most sympathetically sung by Jo Stafford, accompanied by Paul Weston and His Orchestra. These recordings have never been issued on CD and have not been made available since the LP's original release in 1956. This album is a singularly touching evocation of the Scottish Highlands, and the tracks reflect Stafford's long interest in the folk songs of America and other lands, an interest that resulted in the annual Jo Stafford Prize in American Folklore.
