Loads Of Love
CD (Item 620121) Mercury (Japan), 1963 — Condition: New Copy
Early greatness from Shirley Horn – and a set that already has her stretching out her talents as a vocalist! Shirley sings some somber ballads over large orchestrations by Jimmy Jones – in a mode that's different from recent small combo work, but which also shows that she's a great singer with a really sensitive style – a vocalist who can be traditional when needed, yet still hold onto some hip modern inflections too. The set's got a committed, honest, slightly sad style that's quite striking, considering that this was one of Shirley's first albums – and titles include "That's No Joke", "Love For Sale", "Ten Cents A Dance", "Who Am I?", "Only The Lonely", and "Wild Is Love". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
