Between 1933 and 1944, she recorded over 200 "sides," but ... more ... she never received royalties for any of them. At the time she was better known for her live performances in Harlem dives, where no two evenings performances were the same. Billie laid great emphasis on her interpretations. The emotional intensity that she put into the words she sang is hauntingly memorable and has moved me to tears on many occasions. 'Lady sings the Blues' features the exquisite 'Strange Fruit', a protest against racial discrimination. Billie could rarely sing this song without cryin...more |

..Until lady sings the blues! Billie Holiday remains (nearly five decades after her death) the most famous of all jazz singers. "Lady Day", as she was named by Lester Young, had an unusual voice. Despite a lack of technical training, Holiday's unique diction, inimitable phrasing and acute dramatic intensity made her the most outstanding jazz singer of her day. Billie did not scat, she innovated the 'behind-the-beat' phrasing which is still so popular amoungst singers today. White gardenias, worn in her hair, became her trademark.

A wonderful voice 
I'm not sure I've heard this recording so many excellent guest artists a good album so 9-t-s A nice intro to British funk. Maybe a bit too smooth. Great vocals, Ballads A few weaker links Fantastic artist revamping a tonne of classics and throwing in a few originals. A few too many covers and no lyrics in the insertWarriors - Agnostic Front
Punk roots still hold their own against the oppressive hardcore and metal elements. Lacks any kind of originality or self-worth.
Time For Heroes: The Best Of The Libertines - Libertines
A true show of the talent of Barat & Doherty that is unmarred by Doherty's current life Some of the songs on the album seem to be just fillers
The Heroin Diaries - Sixx AM
Stunning Concept Album None
Starfire Burning Upon The Ice Veiled Throne Of Ultima Thule - Bal Sagoth
You have to admire the dedication. There's more than a minor probability that it really isn't for you.
Liquid Monster - Brainstorm
Some nice choruses, in a bland and cheesy sort of way. A majority of filler.
Book Of The Dead - Bloodbound
Reasonable melodic power metal. Nothing exciting.
Blood On Ice - Bathory
A lost classic revived, Bathory's first experiment with lighter metal. Some songs tend towards similarity and become repetitive.
Blackfield - Blackfield
Slick, coherent songs, good musicianship and tight production Lyrically feel immature at times or lacking depth
...from The Pagan Vastlands
Raw, atmospheric and rocking black metal. Demo plagued by sound problems.
The Archaic Course - Borknagar
Maintains the excellent style of its predecessor... ...but fails to do anything new.
