Review

Julie London's debut album 'Julie Is Her Name' is a total knockout! Released in December 1955, this album showcases her mesmerizing vocals alongside the talented Barney Kessel on guitar and Ray Leatherwood on bass. The minimalist arrangement really lets Julie's voice shine, and boy, does it shine!

The album's biggest hit, 'Cry Me a River', is an absolute stunner. It's one of those songs that gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. But let's not forget about the other gems on this record, like 'I Should Care' and 'Say It Isn't So'. Julie's breathy, intimate style brings a whole new level of passion to these classic standards.

Recorded in just two days at Western Recorders in Hollywood, 'Julie Is Her Name' is a perfect example of less is more. The simplicity of the instrumentation creates this warm, cozy atmosphere that just wraps around you like a comfy blanket. It's no wonder this album is considered a classic of the jazz genre and launched Julie London's incredible career. Trust me, if you're a fan of vocal jazz, this one's a must-listen! - Ava
