This two-fer from Fresh Sound features a pair of out of print Peggy Lee LP's, If You Go and Blues Cross Country originally issued on Capitol in 1961 and 1962 respectively. The albums highlight 28 songs including "Basin Street Blues," "Goin' to Chicago Blues," "As Time Goes By," and "Here's That Rainy Day." 

This is great material but is geared more toward the collector. Casual listeners would be better served by the one of the many Peggy Lee compilations. ~ Al Campbell http://www.allmusic.com/album/blue-cross-country-if-you-go-mw0002325291
