Old America, After Dark

A pre-early-1960s master soundtrack library: classics that arrive with a scene already attached. Wartime memory, torch songs, crooners, doo-wop, early soul, roadside country, rock & roll, danger, romance, and the first shimmer of the 1960s. Built as a companion to Mr. Sandman at the Bijou with no recent-track overlap.
