The lady sings billie holiday7/5/2023 īillie Holiday invested her soul in the songs she chose, many of them achingly personal. We therefore have no hesitation in pointing you to this album by one of the greatest of singers who was so singular she was, and remains, without peer.Īlthough some of these songs had been recorded previously when this album came out in the Fifties (some of the earlier songs re-recorded, four new ones added) it pulled together many of her songs which were or became classics: the title track, Strange Fruit, God Bles the Child, Willow Weep For Me, Good Morning Heartache. That's seemingly a scattershot, but if you look closely you'll see genres and classic albums represented, and also singular artists. In the past we've recommended Motorhead and Miles Davis, Bjork and Bob Marley, Nick Cave and Chuck Berry, and Fatboy Slim, The Band, The Who, Soundgarden and more. Anyone who has followed this fairly frequent column where we suggest reasonably priced records to expand your collection knows that, as a consumer service, we try to aim wide.
