CD Reviews

Two classics from my favorite torch singer
Peter Durward Harris | Leicester England | 04/13/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The first album of this twofer, Southern hospitality, gets off to a great start with Miss Johnson phoned again today, which sets a very high standard that never drops. This album features sparse musical backing, with Jeri on piano backed by the Dave Barbour trio. Among the classic songs here are The very thought of you, Mad about the boy, Every time we say goodbye and It never entered my mind.The second album, Jeri gently jumps, features a fuller sound. Ralph Burns and his (small) orchestra provide the musical backing leaving Jeri to just sing. Even so, the music is not intrusive. Like Southern hospitality, this has a brilliant opening track, You forgot your gloves. I've got five dollars is a rare (for Jeri) upbeat song, but although it makes a nice change of pace, there are plenty of other singers that can do this sort of song better.While I slightly prefer the first album, both are brilliant and wonderful additions to any collection of music by the great torch singers of a bygone age."
A nice twofer of 50's Jeri Southern Decca LP's

"Southern is in usual soft lighly swinging voice for these two very differnt settings, the 1st with a jazz trio led by Peggy Lee's husband at the time Dave Barbour. The second feature an orchestra with arrangements by ultra cool arranger Ralph Burns who also arranged many fine albums for Lee Wiley, Tony Bennett, and a few other jazz vocalists. This is as good as any Jeri Southern releases out there, and it comes recommended, especially to jazz musicians who can really appreciate the sultry voiced piano playing singer"
