    On this second volume of Boardwalk songs, a variety of crooners and warblers are paired with the redoubtable revivalists Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks.

    While it’s a novelty to hear 21st-century artists stretch so far out of their comfort zones, several sound out of their depth.

    Rufus Wainwright's "Jimbo Jambo," an example of the jaunty exoticism of the age that might be a little troubling to modern listeners. On the whole, however, Boardwalk Empire, Vol. 2 is an expansive, entertaining soundtrack that captures just how thoroughly the show crafts its mood and atmospheres.

    Even if they may sound dated, there’s a reason these tunes are collectively considered as additions to The Great American Songbook.
