Album Review

Although only some of the featured artists on this budget-priced collection are blues singers in any strict sense, one thing's for certain -- they're all great ladies. Highlights include performances from Billie Holiday ("Good Morning Heartache"), Ella Fitzgerald ("Love for Sale"), Nina Simone ("Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out") and Sarah Vaughan ("The Man I Love"). ~ Chuck Donkers, All Music Guide
