Bobby Helms - Fraulein: The Classic Years [2CD] (1992)

Bobby Helms possesses that unforgetable and soothing voice that hearkens back to childhood Christmases listening to "Jingle Bell Rock" on the radio. This two-disc set highlights his Decca years, including "Fraulein," "My Special Angel," "Jingle Bell Rock," "Just A Little Lonesome," "Jacqueline," "New River Train" and "Lonely River Rhine", plus B-sides (62 tracks in total!). A marvelous collection from one of the most underrated (or, unfairly forgotten) country musicians of our time.
