CD Reviews

As Time Goes By Lee Wiley got even better

Ellie | North Shore of Boston, USA | 08/13/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Each of the women singers from the thirties and forties whose jazz, blues, and swing music I am collecting through these wonderful albums from Anazon, such as Mildred Bailey, Bea Wain, mostly forgotten now, the sophisticated voice and styling of Lee Wiley is what I return to most.

She had a slight vibrato in her deep, smooth voice. Her timing was superb. Her backup musicians didn't detract from her singing - not so with Bea Wain and some other big band singers. These numbers were very carefully selected and arranged.

Grab a drink, settle into the armchair, and listen to selection number eleven (try to keep from putting it on repeat for the next hour or so!) then listen to the rest of the selections.

"Who Can I Turn To Now?" was her pick in this album. Torch singing don't get no better than this. Highly recommended."
