Various ‘All You Need Is Money!’ American Money Songs from the 1920’s to the 1950’s – DL-059
Released: 22nd Nov 2009, Download Only
Money affects everybody, be they rich or poor and it influences many life decisions. As so many musicians have had to survive on the bread line, it comes as no surprise that it features as the central theme in many songs across all musical genres from Country, Blues and Rock ‘n’ Roll – It’s the ‘root of all evil’ and yet is so often the measure of ‘success’. Money can also be more trouble than it’s worth, but ultimately with out it you’ll end up on Skid Row! This is the first time Money has been used as a theme for an album and is a particularly pertinent subject considering the current economical times.
