A Review:

What can be said about Peggy Lee which has not already been said. I grew up listening to Peggy Lee's sultry voice filling my mother's kitchen as she prepared meals on lazy summer afternoons. She was of favourite of my mother and father and a favourite of the times (1950's). I have only recently began investigating the music of Peggy Lee as an adult. How I have overlooked her all of these interim years I will never know. What I do know is that I have reconnected with a bit of heaven on earth and I am very grateful for it. I have purchased many of her discs recently and this is by far the best! First of all, the sonics are, simply, outstanding. A tight, full bottom end complimented by an extremely rich and smooth mid-range which makes the horns sound absolutely marvellous not to mention providing a great timbre and silkiness to Peggy's voice. The top end is charterized by a great openess which gives the sound a great sense of presence. My hat is, certainly, off to the engineer responsible for this sonic gift. In addition, all of her great tunes are here (not surprisingly). However, what really makes these tunes work so outstandingly well is the song sequencing ...... an aspect to disc creation which is generally overlooked by those responsible. The tunes unfold into one another so well creating a fanastic voyage through love's longings and it's shortcomings leaving one emotionally charged and exhausted all at the same time. If you love Peggy or you just love love's range of emotions you must have this disc.
