High Tor (album)

High Tor is a soundtrack album featuring Bing Crosby, Julie Andrews and Everett Sloane.

Bing Crosby linked dialogue and songs from the soundtrack and recorded "When You’re in Love" and "John Barleycorn" separately for inclusion in the album.

"When You’re in Love" had been essayed by Julie Andrews and Everett Sloane in the film and it was fitting that Crosby should add his own version.

"John Barleycorn" had been sung by Crosby in the film but it was decided to make a longer rendering as a finale.

The film itself was not very well received, see also High Tor (play), but the album had a better reception with Billboard magazine saying, “High Tor” is an excellent package of Crosbiana, and if the show is as big a click as expected, the LP should enjoy brisk sales.” [3] All lyrics are written by Maxwell Anderson; all music is composed by Arthur Schwartz[4]
