Popular honky-tonk pianist Russ Conway gets everybody in a party mood with these Al Jolson era tunes. Party Time was his last album to chart, ending a two year run of hit releases. (UK:7)
“In the two years between December 1958 and December 1960, Russ Conway enjoyed six top ten UK albums, was the subject of television’s This Is Your Life and performed two Royal Command Performances. Party Time was something of a last hurrah, a final top ten hit.”
“One of Russ's best albums originally released for Christmas 1960, when they were still using the original honky-tonk piano at Abbey Road.”
“Russ Conway, a cornerstone of the early 60s. While The Beatles were on the up, and The Stones were beginning to roll, Russ belted out so many hits you could lose count.”
“I recall as a child seeing him appear on so many Saturday night TV shows as a guest, and can remember hearing him on the radio, where his distinctive style and personality shone through every time.”
