Our Take

Once in a blue moon, a voice comes along that can transport you to a smoky jazz club in 1950s Harlem. Jimmy Witherspoon's soulful crooning on "Ain't Nobody's Business: The Singles Collection 1945-53" is just that voice.

Witherspoon's smooth delivery and impeccable phrasing make each track on this collection a pure delight to listen to. His rendition of the classic title track is a standout, with his emotive vocals giving it a new lease of life.

The backing band, featuring some of the most talented musicians of the time, provide the perfect accompaniment to Witherspoon's vocals. The bluesy guitar licks and swinging horns create a rich tapestry of sound that is impossible to resist.

Songs like "Big Fine Girl" and "Blues With a Feeling" showcase Witherspoon's versatility as a vocalist, effortlessly switching from playful to poignant in the blink of an eye.

While some tracks may feel a tad dated to modern ears, there is no denying the impact that Witherspoon had on the music scene of his time. His passion and authenticity shine through on every track, making this collection a must-have for any lover of classic jazz and blues.

So, grab a glass of whisky, sink into your favourite armchair, and let Jimmy Witherspoon serenade you with his timeless tunes. You won't regret it.
