Swingin' with the Starr, also known as Swinging with the Starr: Kay Starr Swings, is a compilation album of 16 songs recorded by Kay Starr. It was released in September 1956 by Liberty Records (catalog no. SL-9001).[2] The recordings feature Starr singing with the Jazz All Stars.[3]
AllMusic later gave the album a rating of two stars.[1] Reviewer Steve Goulding called it "high-toned swing in a variety of jazzy settings" and noted that Starr "manages to be both polished and intimate."[1]
The album was released on compact disc in 2008. The original song sequence was altered, and some tracks were omitted and others added.[4]
