Burl Ives - I Wonder Whats Become Of Sally

Review by Yeo Hui Ru

Burl Ives' album "I Wonder What's Become of Sally" is a delightful collection of traditional folk songs that showcases his rich and resonant voice. The album opens with the title track, a jaunty tune about a lost love that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Ives' renditions of classic songs like "The Erie Canal" and "John Henry" are filled with energy and passion, and his warm and expressive voice infuses each track with a sense of nostalgia and longing. The album also includes some lesser-known gems like "The Foggy Dew" and "The Riddle Song," which showcase Ives' versatility as a singer and his ability to convey a wide range of emotions. "I Wonder What's Become of Sally" is a must-listen for fans of folk music and anyone who appreciates the timeless beauty of traditional American songs.
