This review is from: Man Ain't Supposed to Cry (Audio CD)

Joe Williams built his considerable reputation singing "big band blues", most notably with the great Count Basie group. And many people will only know and care about that side of the artist. But with this album, he made a strong claim to greatness as a mainstream singer of standards and ballads. Rendered with exquisite taste in his signature profundo baritone, this set is perhaps Williams's finest work. No melodrama, no Barbra Streisand histrionics, just gorgeous readings of lovely songs that echo with the emotion and sadness of lost love. Bravo Joe.

This review is from: Man Ain't Supposed to Cry (Audio CD)

i have owned this album x2 and it has disappeared both times. it is a fabulous album. the editorial reviewer who rated this album is full of crap. i don't pay any attention to professional reviewers, they are too full of themselves.
