Customer Reviews

This is an essential album by a gifted blues/jazz artist.5
I love this album. Her singing is earthy, assured and powerful. Her phrasing makes each song uniquely her own. If you like Dinah Washington or Billie Holliday you owe it to yourself to listen to this album

Wonderful!5
I just bought this album yesterday, and I am now playing it for the third time. It is splendid. Phillips' style is very similar to Dinah Washington -- which means deep southern black blues singing. What is amazing about the album is that it was made in 1976, but it has the same "classic" sound as 40s/50s blues.

Absolutely incredible swinging, sexy timeless album5
I have owned this album for more 30 years and it always gives me a thrill to hear it. In fact, it is in my car's CD player right now.

When I first bought it, I was not sure how old it was. It just had that classic sound of bigband sultry sassiness, with jazzy horns and drums. And, of course, Phillips' amazingly assured vocal phrasing. She was a master. I was amazed a few years later to realize that it had actually come out shortly before I had bought it.

It continues to be one of the most prized albums in my whole collection, and I love turning others on to it.
