Louis Armstrong - I Double Dare You. This 1938 recording with his big band just might Pops' masterpiece of the period between the early-30s Victor records and the Town Hall concert. The final trumpet chorus is about as good as anything he ever did. My homeboy J.C. Higginbotham is on fire, too.

Vaughan Williams song based on a 19thC poem. Extremely well known and generally performed in a plummy, parlour room style.

Fay Hield's singing of it here always gets the waterworks going for me. Martin Simpson's guitar accompaniment is precisely judged. A perfect ending to a wonderful album.
