Review by Gary Brennan

When You’re Counting the Stars Alone / Love Me by Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra: A Blast from the Jazz-Pop Past Alright, buckle up, folks. We’re diving into a slice of musical history that’s older than your grandma’s secret cookie recipe. When You’re Counting the Stars Alone / Love Me by Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra dropped way back in 1929—yes, before the internet, TV, and even sliced bread (almost). This little gem hails from the US, courtesy of Columbia Records, blending pop and jazz like it’s nobody’s business. Now, let’s talk tracks. The title track, When You’re Counting the Stars Alone, hits you with this dreamy, floaty vibe that feels like lying on a cloud while someone serenades you with a saxophone. It’s got that old-school charm where every note seems to say, “Hey, life ain’t so bad.” I mean, sure, the lyrics are kinda cheesy (“counting stars alone”? Really?), but there’s something oddly comforting about how smooth and polished it sounds. Like sipping lemonade on a porch swing, if porch swings had brass sections. Then there’s Love Me. Oh boy. This one grabs you by the feels right away. It’s slower, sweeter, and dripping with emotion. Imagine a smoky jazz club where everyone’s nursing their third drink and pretending they don’t care—but deep down, they totally do. The melody sticks to you like gum under a table; hours later, you’ll find yourself humming it while stuck in traffic or waiting for your toast to pop. And honestly? That’s not a bad thing. What makes these tunes stand out is how unapologetically of their time they are. There’s no auto-tune, no flashy production tricks—just raw talent and instruments doing what they do best. Listening to this album feels like stepping into a time machine, except instead of lasers and flux capacitors, it’s all trumpets and clarinets. But here’s the kicker: as much as I love the nostalgia trip, I can’t help wondering what Paul Whiteman would think if he saw today’s music charts. Would he dig Beyoncé? Could he handle TikTok trends? Or would he just shrug and go back to counting stars alone? Anyway, whether you’re a jazz enthusiast or just someone who likes to dabble in vintage vibes, this album’s worth a listen. Just don’t blame me if you start craving fedoras and flapper dresses afterward.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: Back in 1929, Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra released an album called *When You're Counting The Stars Alone Love Me*. It blended pop and jazz, two genres that were really taking off at the time. This was during the golden age of American music, when jazz was shaping the sound of the nation. Fun fact—Paul Whiteman was often called the "King of Jazz," even though his style leaned more toward orchestrated pop. The album came out on Columbia Records, a label that was already making waves in the US music scene. It featured just two tracks, including the dreamy title track. Short albums like this were pretty common back then. Music fans would gather around their record players, completely immersed in the sound. Crazy to think how different listening to music was back then, huh?
