CD Reviews

Nostalgia like sipping eggnog by a winter fire...

01/11/2001

(4 out of 5 stars)

"As far as I can tell from my parent's vinyls, she was a singer/actress in the 20's and 30's with an unique warbeling singing style - unbearably quaint no doubt in today's pop culture.Yet today, British and Belgian trip hop bands imitate her sultry innocent stlye in their deliveries.Listen to "A Cup of Coffee.." and the ambience of another era sweeps in. Silk stockings, bread tosted over fire grates, waiters whistling as you pass open cafes, city smoke masquerading as twilight...It grows on you, it really does."
