Abetted chiefly by some wonderfully complex naked drum accompaniments, Singer Bennett launches his husky, finely pitched voice into an assortment of old favorites, makes them sound as strange and freshly minted as though they were written yesterday.

Caedmon's The Red Badge of Courage fills the mind with battle flags, drum beats and the roll of musketry as Hollywood's Edmond O'Brien gives a reading as sharp as a battle cry to one of the great U.S. war novels.
