Editorial Reviews

Producing, arranging and performing this album is for McKay the natural outcome of years of enraptured listening to Ms. Day's music. Nellie handpicked these songs from over 600 recordings. McKay has a very special connection to this cultural icon - the # 1 female box office star of all time and one of the most prolific recording artists in history - Nellie received the Doris Day Music Award in 2005 and is one of the few people in the last 30 years to be granted an interview with Ms. Day. Nellie's Verve debut is a sophisticated but accessible recording with spare and tasteful arrangements that clearly put the focus on the songs and McKay's exquisite vocal styling's. McKay's fresh take on this music is smartly delivered with a curtsy to Doris, a nod to convention, and a unique twist all her own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like a beautiful yard sale treasure, these vocals are rare and exquisite
Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2009

I popped this in my car stereo hoping to hear a few tracks on the way to work, and because of a super rainstorm induced traffic jam, was able to hear each track in its entirety before I pulled up to the old parking lot. It was good enough to make me want to drive home and hear it all again. A rainy day with Nellie McKay is my idea of heaven. "Normal as Blueberry Pie" is a sultry and fun record that would have fit in perfectly with the '50s, yet is a welcome and gorgeous modern sunbeam in the otherwise murky fog of autotuned garbage that's poured into our ears. On one hand, it's a shame to not enjoy the original songwriting skills of McKay as she's one of the best young scribes out there, but in her hands, the work of Doris Day is simply sublime. There's a love for the source material that's clearly apparent, yet they aren't straight covers, either. Prior McKay collaborator Bob Dorough and other jazz greats provide occasional backup to hold it all together. The cover art is bright and wonderful, as are the interior art surrounding the liner notes featuring a bunch of great vintage outfits she picked up from lord knows where. I recommend picking up the physical CD instead of an iTunes download for that very reason. A must for any fan of Nellie, Doris Day, or good songs in general. Might be a great present for your kid, to show them some music that isn't crappy, too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love me some Nellie!
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2014

The first time I heard Nellie she was just a voice at the back end of a bar, accompanying herself on a piano while singing "One For My Baby". I don't think she had reached 21 years old yet (Shush!) but, my goodness, the maturity in her sound was amazing! In that one song, I heard the influence of Marilyn Monroe, Billie Holiday and, of course, Doris Day. I was instantly hooked and have been ever since. With this CD, her tribute, she does not disappoint. The talent, the radiance, the enthusiasm and the voice are all still there. That first night, I had to meet her and did and we became friends. Although I haven't been able to see her perform live recently, I am an avid fan and follow her career almost religiously.

4.0 out of 5 stars A LOVING TRIBUTE
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2009

I enjoyed this tribute to Doris for just that reason...it was a heartfelt tribute to The Greatest Lady of Song, Miss Doris Day. I have to admit that I wondered at some of the songs selected (I mean, Doris had a lot better songs than were chosen), but it was nice to hear them rendered in a different way than the original. No one sings like Doris can, so there is no point in trying to imitate. Nellie did not do that...and three cheers for her for that. The songs are pleasantly enough rendered (some even strangely), but it was a unique experience to listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars What can you say about Nellie McKay?
Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2014
Verified Purchase
I bought this CD because I read about it, and she sounded quirky. Yup. There is this faux-tribute/faux-contemprary sound to her that somehow adds up to verity, not faux-ness. And then I saw her in NYC, doing the music for Bill Irwin's latest show, and she was magnificent. So I came back to the CD and listened again and realized she is much better than I had suspected. See, it's worth listening a second time!

Nellie brings an incredible presence to everything she sings. The arrangements she works with are unique, and her singing is beautiful. Nellie is one of the most enjoyable performers around these days. This particular collection of Doris Day hits is not only a great tribute, but Nellie manages to make these songs very much her own, while still honoring Doris. I like Nellie's versions much better!

Normal As Blueberry Pie: A Tribute to Doris DayNelle McKay always breathes some freshness into even standards such as this with both a touch of innocence and a splash of sardonic wit. Personally you can't go wrong with any of her music and this tribute to Doris Day is every bit as entertaining as her original material.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nellie Mc Kay -Normal As Blueberry Pie - A Tribute To Doris Day
Reviewed in Canada on June 27, 2019
Verified Purchase
Normal As Blueberry Pie is a terrific musical treat from beginning to end. Nellie Mc Kay does an extraordinarily good job singing these songs that had been recorded by the iconic Doris Day. Her voice is tender, sweet and totally engaging. The first song on this cd is The Very Thought of You captivates. Nellie Mc Kay puts her own unique charming stamp on these songs that is needs to be heard. Some of the other songs on the album are Meditation, Mean To Me, Sentimental Journey, Send Me No Flowers and Close Your Eyes. I don't think any Doris Day fan will be disappointed discovering this treasure. It is a truly beautiful tribute To Doris Day.

I also wrote a great review of this album on The Doris Day Forum website.

5.0 out of 5 stars 60年代の「古き良きアメリカ」の雰囲気そのままに
Reviewed in Japan on February 8, 2010
Verified Purchase
ドリス・デイは、1950年代・60年代を中心に女優兼歌手として活躍した人で、とびきり美人ではないが気さくでチ
ャーミングな雰囲気が、いかにも当時の「良き時代」のアメリカの象徴として多くの人に愛された。
60年代を境に全ての活動を引退し、現在は動物保護活動家として活動中。

もともと、レイ・ブラウン楽団という一流のジャズバンドの専属歌手としてキャリアをスタートさせた人で、その歌唱
力は超一流。「Cuttin' Capers」や「Bright and Shiny」といった、ジャズとポップスが絶妙に混ざりあった名盤を
数多く残した。

さて、本盤の主役ネリー・マッカイはロンドン出身で現在20代半ば。
ハーレムで育った経験があり、当時NYで流行していたソウル・ヒップホップを吸収しつつも、ジャズのスタンダード
ナンバーを愛する非常に雑多な音楽嗜好を持っている人。
今作はレコード会社をジャズの老舗Verveに移しての通算4作目。上述した彼女がアイドルとして敬愛するドリス・
デイのトリビュート盤である。

曲目は彼女の代表曲「Sentimental Journey」を含むスタンダードが中心。
スタンダードを集めた作品は数多あるものの、そこはユニークな才能を持つマッカイのセンスにて、あくまでデイへ
のオマージュ作品に仕上がっている。

選ばれた楽器もユニークで、ベル・ウクレレ・ティンパニ・フレンチホルン・管楽器といった諸楽器を駆使し、1曲1曲
が仰々しくなく手作り感一杯の空気で満たされている。
マッカイの声はデイよりも低めで落ち着いているが、「Dig It」での男性コーラス隊との楽しい掛け合い等、明らかに
デイの歌唱法をよく研究している印象だ。

ドリス・デイの特長である茶目っ気を、実に上手く音楽にしたてた秀作だ。昔の「古き良きアメリカ」の空気を音楽で
味わいたい方には是非お薦めしたい。

♪上記パーソネルでの行数の多さときたら…つまりはそれだけカラフルっーか趣向を凝らした伴奏なんである。反面ドラムス抜きのトラックが目立つせいか、ある種スタティックというか、いい意味で隙間の多い、“ポップアート”的な雰囲気も―いわば米語のスラング”kawaii”を基調とした、色鮮やかな書き割りとでも言おうか!?

♪本作を耳にしてフト思い出したのは、リッキー・リー・ジョーンズのカヴァー・アルバム『Pop Pop』だが、決定的に違うのはパレットに盛られた絵の具の数だ。リッキー盤がシックなモノクロないしセピアだとしたら、ネリーのほうは総天然色かな??DDトリビュートだけにねww

♪肝心のそのヴォーカルも、'60年代中盤頃の成熟しきったドリスの声から、ヴィブラートを抜き取ったような感触(?)ゆえ、ドリス所縁のナンバーとの相性も悪くない―推薦盤!!
