Free Music Review: Billie's Cream of the Crop
Hit: 5 Stars

This CD captures the essence of Billie Holiday's greatness--her timing, swing, improvisation, delivering the core truth of each song with a balanced care to both lyrics and emotional impact. Those are just SOME what made Billie an enduring beloved singer in the minds (and ears) of her legions of fans. Songs are well-chosen, not one clunker in the entire bunch. At first I was disappointed with the 2 selections from "Lady in Satin" when her voice technically had declined to a croak, to pardon the expression. Still the emotional interpretation leaves no heart unstirred as she commands the listener's attention to the love unrequited kind only Billie knew how to deliver in song. Overall, the songs are picked from Billie's golden age of late 1930s. Sound remastering is done to a very good standard, though some hisses are still evident but clarity is excellent considering when these songs were recorded. Each time brings new meaning and nuance listening to this CD, not to mention a smile on the swing songs and a tear on the torchy ones. A must have for all of Billie's fans!
