JO STAFFORD had one of the best voices for pop material of the first two-thirds of the last century, but she did a lovely job on two folk albums with her husband and arranger, Paul Weston (and his orchestra). Her version of "My Home's In The Highlands", "Shenandoah", "Black Is The Color" and many others on her J.S. SINGS AMERICAN FOLKSONGS and her SONGS OF SCOTLAND are among my favorite performances ever----right up there with Pete Seeger and Frank Hamilton doing "Meadowlands" ;-)
