25 great tracks from When Trad Was King. With his trademark bowler hat, non-ironic goatee, and clarinet, Acker Bilk was an unlikely superstar. However that's just what he became when 'Stranger On The Shore' became a huge hit on both sides of the Atlantic in 1962. The biggest selling instrumental of all time and one of the top 100 sellers of any genre, it is the opening track of 25 on this CD which focuses on his warm and sentimental sound. Also includes Summer Set, Buona Sera, That's My Home, The Stars and Stripes Forever, White Cliffs of Dover, Dardanella, Frankie & Johnny, The Gay Hussar, Greensleeves, Deep Purple and Corrina Corrina among them. Bargain priced CD.
