Editorial Reviews

From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD

Allegiant to jazz shading and accenting, Miss Brown offers a great number of blues revelations while essaying selections from the repertoires of Dinah Washington, Louis Jordan, Ray Charles, Jackie Wilson, and others. Sideman Rodney Jones is a marvelously understated blues guitarist. -- © Frank John Hadley 1993

This review is from: Fine Mellow (Audio CD)

I had never heard of Ruth Brown until I stumbled upon her fortuitously one night back in 1993 at Blues Alley in Washington, DC. - I was very impressed, and moved by her amazing voice. You don't just hear her sing, you feel her passion. This CD has some very good tracks: #6, "Knock me a Kiss"; #8, Don't get around much anymore; #9, "Nothing Takes the Place of You" - her vocals on this track are spectactular; and, #10, "I'll be Satisfied" - incredible Hammond B-3 organ. If you like good quality jazz/blues vocals, this will "satisfy".
