Album DescriptionAvailable in:
A collection of songs from the legendary Billie Holiday featuring some of her greatest live performances spanning from 1952-1959. Divided equally between shows recorded in New York and Los Angeles, the selection effectively illustrates the unique beauty in her vocal range. Billie's distinctive croon colors the lamenting lyrics about doomed love, as in a lazy honky-tonk like "Travelin' Light" or the more somber "When Your Lover Has Gone." The psychic pain of her heartbreak channels through her haunting voice, evident in "I Don't Want To Cry Any More," as each ache translates into a bend or sigh, arousing sentiment in the listener. With classics like "Body And Soul" and "Love Me Or Leave Me," this release is guaranteed to leave you weeping into your drink as you toast the legend of Billie Holiday.
