Review

Imagine walking through a midnight alley where the shadows whisper Billie Holiday's name. In "Lady Sings the Blues," she unravels her soul, stitching together the raw fabric of her life with the threads of blues and jazz. The pain, the joy, the highs, the lows—it's all here, laid bare in the haunting title track and the melancholic "Good Morning Heartache."

Backed by an all-star band, Holiday's voice—filled with all the wear and tear of countless heartaches—pulls you in until you feel her struggles as your own. Her delivery, brimming with passion and conviction, takes you on a ride through her existence as both a woman and an artist. An album drenched in emotional intensity, "Lady Sings the Blues" echoes through time, resonating with anyone who's ever walked through the fog of their own blues. - Walter
