Billie HolidayLady Sings the Blues + Best of
$37.00Call to Order
Nobody phrased like Lady Day, dragging just behind the beat with a bruised, weary intimacy that lands like a confession. 'No Good Man' and 'Good Morning Heartache' ache with that frayed-velvet voice, 'Willow Weep for Me' is a career high, and 'Too Marvelous for Words' swings with aching restraint. Charlie Shavers' trumpet and Kenny Burrell's guitar give her room to breathe. Cut at Fine Sound in 1956 alongside her autobiography. Heartbreak you can almost touch. Sit in the dark and let it ache.
