Free Music Review: Big Unique Voice
Hit: 5 Stars
The first time I heard Billie Holiday's voice was when my parents were visiting friends. I looked over their record collection and asked if I might play this Billie Holiday one. (I had never heard of her.) From the first song to the last, I was crazy about her. The cut called "You're My Thrill" was unlike anything I had ever heard before. All these years later, I never forgot that first experience and looked for this music at Amazon. Lucky for me, I found it.
Billie Holiday's Greatest Hits (Decca) Poster
There's no such thing as a genuine Billie Holiday greatest-hits collection--her career was split among too many labels for that--but this single-disc distillation of the Complete Decca Recordings 2 CD set (recorded between 1944 and 1950) is pretty solid. Holiday's in fine vocal form (though her accompaniment is undistinguished easy-listening stuff; the choir on "God Bless the Child" is a bit frustrating), and the songs are arranged to work as an album rather than chronologically. She transcends the ideas of torch songs, of blues, of ballad singing--her version of "Lover Man" exemplifies erotic despair, tormented and aroused at once--and even the lesser-known tracks here are pleasant surprises, like a Leonard Bernstein song. --Douglas WolkBlues Music CDs
