Review by Kali Ferguson

The album Alice in Wonderland by Fred Waring and His Pennsylvanians is a delightful collection of songs that brings to life the whimsical and magical world of Lewis Carroll's classic tale. The album features 12 tracks, each a unique interpretation of the story's characters and themes.

From the opening track "Alice Blue Gown," the listener is transported to a dreamlike state, where anything is possible. The Pennsylvanians' signature sound of lush harmonies and rich orchestration perfectly captures the fantastical nature of the story. The album also includes fun, upbeat tracks like "The Walrus and the Carpenter" and "I'm Late," as well as more contemplative pieces like "Very Good Advice" and "A World of My Own."

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Unbirthday Song," which captures the essence of the Mad Hatter's famous tea party. The Pennsylvanians' performance is full of energy and playfulness, making it impossible not to tap your foot along to the beat.

About Fred Waring And His Pennsylvanians

Fred Waring (June 9, 1900  July 29, 1984) was a popular musician, bandleader and radio-television personality, sometimes referred to as "America's Singing Master" and "The Man Who Taught America How to Sing." He was also a promoter, financial backer and namesake of the Waring Blender, the first modern electric blender on the market. Raised in his father's Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, music store, Waring studied violin as a youth and was a member of his high school glee club. He formed his first professional band around 1916, a six-man string outfit called Waring's Banjazztra. After graduating from college, he took the group to Detroit, where it began to attract the attention of the local music crowd. He later dropped banjo from the line-up and changed the name of the group to the Pennsylvanians. The newly-named orchestra soon became a favorite on the collegiate circuit. Their first recording, ''Sleep,'' on the Victor label in 1923, was a tremendous success. Waring's orchestra supposedly has the distinction of being the first to record a tune, the first to record a rumba, and the first dance band to record with a vocal chorus. Aside from , the group also released material on the label. Vocalists included Stuart Churchill, Waring's own brother, Tom, and drummer Poley McClintock (the froggy voice on I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream).
