Billie Holiday - Lady Sings The Blues - [Vinyl]

180g vinyl LP reissue of Billie Holiday's 'Lady Sings the Blues' + bonus CD digipak included containing the complete album plus 9 bonus tracks."Lady Sings the Blues, I understand, was a rather stormy session in its first eight tracks; but to a listener who wasn't there, it comes through as a characteristic, satisfyingly troubling, indelible Billie monologue. Tempos are generally slow with some walking-medium. No other singer now in jazz gets so fully into the bloodstream as Billie still does...Billie still has the best vocal game in town when she's playing for keeps. Note, for example, the remarkably effective, understated "I Thought About You" on which Billie is backed only by Bobby Tucker." - Nat Hentoff
