On this, their last recording with vocalist Betty Silberman, Shirim pays homage to some of the classic Yiddish songs your grandmother sang to you . From Oyfn Pripetshok to a swinging version of the rarely heard original Yiddish lyrics of Bay Mir Bistu Sheyn, Betty Silberman proves why she's one of the finest yiddish singers alive while Shirim is in the pocket doing what they do best. Some great instrumentals including 3 new tunes by Glenn Dickson are also included.
