Best album I have - I got this as a cassette when I was 15 and I darn nearly wore it out! Lou uses the classical style of R&B on this album, lots of piano and brass music. I even insisted on some of the tunes at my wedding. It s probably the best album I have in my collection (I ve since re-bought it on cd and downloaded it onto my ipod).
Lou s triumphant return to his blues and jazz roots. - After leaving Philadelphia International, Lou signed with the revived Blue Note label and this 1989 release was his triumphant return to his blues and jazz roots. Not a perfect album but one in which Lou s strenghths as a jazz and blues singer are demonstrated perfectly in most songs.
This cd is a great relaxer - I like to listen to this cd when I m relaxing or even when I m trying to do work. You can listen to it when you get up in the morning and the upbeat Fine Brown Frame will set you in a good mood for the rest of the day! I think all of the songs are great. They have nice piano accompaniments. It s one of those cds you can listen to and you re busy singing along and suddenly you ve listened to the whole thing! You can also cuddle up in a chair and read a book while listening to this cd. This cd is the best cd I ve ever had!
