Judy Garland Second Souvenir Album is the second compilation album by Judy Garland. It was released in 1943, by Decca Records. The album was made to celebrate Garland's first starring role in a film, For Me and My Gal, and the success of the title song which she performs with co-star Gene Kelly. Most of the songs are revivals of old standards.
David Rose, Garland's husband, conducted the orchestra on all tracks except "Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart" and "Fascinating Rhythm" which were recorded on July 29, 1939, during a recording session in Hollywood, California. Victor Young conducted two of the tracks, with modified swing arrangements that enhanced the lively performances.
