Cooke's Tour

Originally released in 1960, Cooke's Tour, is the debut LP release for Cooke on the RCA label - after many years with the Los Angeles indie, Keen. The album, like it's title suggests, is a concept album of songs about various parts of the world, from the West Indies to the South Pacific, the Mediterranean to Mexico.

One of the more poppy albums in Cooke's discography, Cooke's Tour is a classic showcase for one of the most talented, genre transcending, vocalists of the 20th Century.
