Most of those recordings were released on 78s in the 1930s and '40s, with only the occasional track earning reissue on a various-artists LP or CD in the succeeding decades. But the 50-year copyright limit in Europe has expired, and has emboldened the U.K.'s Sepia Records to undertake a compilation drawn from the 78s of collectors. It should revise the general notion about Logan, which derives entirely from her brogue-laden singing of \"How Are Things in Glocca Morra?\" In fact, she started out as a jazz-baby band singer in the early 1930s, and the tracks that lead off this collection find her as a teenager fronting groups with names like the Rhythm Maniacs, who play hot, 1920s-style jazz, and society dance orchestra arrangements, as she sings in a distinctly American accent, even when the recordings originated in London. By the mid-'30s, she was in America, sharing a microphone with Bob Crosby and Hoagy Carmichael (including a hit 1938 version of the latter's \"Two Sleepy People\"). She finally begins to display her Celtic roots in the mid-1940s on the eight tracks that made up her self-financed album for Majestic Records when, backed by Frank DeVol and His Orchestra, she swings her way through \"A Little Bit of Heaven (Shure They Called It Ireland).\" The album closes with \"How Are Things in Glocca Morra?\" and \"Old Devil Moon,\" borrowed from the Finian's Rainbow original Broadway cast recording. Actually, there's more where this came from, enough to fill a second disc. But given the dearth of Logan recordings in print on CD as of 2002, what is here should be more than welcome for fans of this nearly forgotten singer.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack Listings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc: 1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHold Your Glasses With Bottoms Up\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBigger And Better Than Ever\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eI'm Still At Your Beck And Call\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHe's My Secret Passion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhispering Out Of The South\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDinah\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFollow A Star - Selection, Part 1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFollow A Star - Selection, Part 2\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eI'm Doing That Thing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShe Walked Right Up And Took My Man Away\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e'Way Back Home - Part 1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e'Way Back Home - Part 2\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo Sleepy People - Hoagy Carmichael\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew Orleans - Hoagy Carmichael\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWaikiki\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThere's A Small Hotel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmerica I Love You\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLoch Lomond\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook At My Bedside\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Little Bit Of Heaven\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThat Old Feeling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGive My Regards To Broadway\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt's A Long Way To Tipperary\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow Are Things In Glocca Mora?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOld Devil Moon\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Ella Logan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55763498205475,"sku":"ryh1791973390594","price":14.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/7323\/0115\/files\/ella-logan---from-glasgow-to-broadway_1.jpg?v=1791973396","url":"https:\/\/organiccottonwear.shop\/products\/ella-logan-from-glasgow-to-broadway","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
