CD (Item 605971) Roulette/EMI (Japan), 1959 — Condition: New Copy

A gem of a record from singer Cathy Carr – a vocalist who might have been more pop in a more uptight setting – but who gets some great gentle guidance here from arrangers Joe Riesman and Lew Douglas! There's a mix of strings and electric bass here that really works well – kind of a gentle stepping syncopation, even on the mellow tunes – but one that never pushes Cathy's voice too far – and which certainly helps her avoid any too-sweet tones that might have shown up in a more over-produced setting. Titles include "Personal Secret", "Knight In Shining Armor", "Sny", "Find Me", "I'm Nobody's Baby", "Please Be Kind", and "For The First Time".  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
