Back In Your Own Backyard
This song was written by Al Jolson, Billy Rose, and Dave Dreyer and first recorded in 1928. It has since been covered by many others including Patti Page, Billie Holiday and Bing Crosby. And now it is part of the Al Jolson Project with Larry DeAngelo and Friends.

BONUS TRACK: When I’m Not Near the Girl I Love
Long before Stephen Stills enthralled Hippiedom with Love the One You’re With, Burton Lane penned a sexier (some might say ‘sexist’) take on the opportunistic aspect of love. Larry DeAngelo sings this delightful song written for 1947’s Finian’s Rainbow. A must-listen for all those who really are naive enough to believe that absence makes the heart grow fonder and that there may be anything new under the sun. Homework assignment: Compare the Hippie version to the 1947 song. (Dedicated to Hank Pritchard).
