Julie Is Her Name

Add to Cart$9.99 ... LP
(€7.67 || £6.56 || ¥1021) (approx.)
LP (Item 24807) Liberty, Late 50s — Condition: Good+

A landmark album in 50s vocal jazz – spare, moody, and evocative tunes from Julie London – sung in a stripped-down setting that few other singers would dare at the time! The sound of the set is as sexy as the cover – intimate, personal, and breathily sung in a mode that comes across with a brashly adult presentation of the material. Backing only features Barney Kessel on guitar and Ray Leatherwood on bass – leaving Julie plenty of room to take over the record with her vocals – a real masterpiece of understatement, given the setting! Titles include her famous version of "Cry Me A River" – virtually THE version of the tune – plus "I Should Care", "Say It Isn't So", "Gone With The Wind", "Laura", and "Can't Help Loving That Man". (Rainbow label pressing. Cover has light wear. Back cover has song titles underlined in pen.)  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
