Stranger On The Shore - The Best Of

by: Acker Bilk

Release Date February 26, 2008
What a class act this man is! a fantastic kalaidascopic cornacopia of a rollercoaster into the smoky realms of Jazztopia! with a cherry on top! I recommend this cd to everyone who has yet to worship at altar of Acker in the church of Bilk!. What people also don't realise is that Acker is also a greco roman wrestling champion at several different weights but gave up to concentrate solely on music, for that we should be gratefull my friends! also a special mention to Chris Barton who plays baritone on several of these tracks and is a very underated musician in his own right. If you like Acker I recommend you try Chris Barton's album " When Sally met Chris, the Stable sessions ". A modern jazz classic!

Stranger On The Shore/A Taste of Honey

by: Acker Bilk

Release Date September 06, 1999
Born Bernard Stanley Bilk but using the name Acker Bilk for professional purposes, he became part of the British traditional jazz boon of the early sixties and had five UK top ten hits and seven lesser UK hits, all but one of his hits being between 1960 and 1963. This twofer only includes two hits but the biggest of all (Stranger on the shore) is here - in its original form, not a re-recording. The other hit here is A taste of honey.

Stranger on the shore is actually a very sad song. Although Acker performs it as an instrumental, his clarinet proves o be the ideal instrument to highlight the sadness of the song. Acker's version made number one in America and number two in Britain despite competition from other excellent (vocal) versions ... Read More:
