Robert Johnston was excellent in his version of playing and singing the blues. He holds nothing back and pays all his respects to the art of blues in the truest way. Guitar, voice, what more does one need? More of Mr. Johnston, you bet.
The music is pure as the location from where it comes from and is like visiting the appalachians with the musicians performing on a porch for all to enjoy. I love the various instruments that are used to make such wonderful music as well as the rich voices that sing. I would definitely seek out more of the same.
Billie Holiday is an excellent example of how jazz should be sung. She has an amazing voice and when she sings, the smoothness of the lyrics flow like silk. I would buy any and all music by this wonderful lady. Andy day, any time.
What's great about it: Billile Holiday has an amazing voice! Every song is performed with heart and grace.
What's not so great: nothing is wrong with this album.
