Our Take

DINAH WASHINGTON's "Blues For A Day" is a tantalizing cocktail of soulful vocals, swinging rhythms, and sassy attitude that will leave you bopping your head and tapping your feet from start to finish. This album is a masterclass in blues, with Washington's powerhouse voice effortlessly gliding through each track with a raw, emotional intensity that will send shivers down your spine.

From the moody ballad "Cry Me a River" to the fiery "Evil Gal Blues," Washington showcases her incredible range and depth as a vocalist, effortlessly moving between heartbreaking vulnerability and fierce defiance. The backing band is equally impressive, providing a dynamic and energetic backdrop that perfectly complements Washington's powerhouse vocals.

But what really sets "Blues For A Day" apart is its authenticity. Washington doesn't just sing the blues – she lives them. Each song is imbued with a sense of lived experience and raw emotion that is impossible to fake. This is music that comes straight from the heart, and it shows in every note.

In a world of manufactured pop stars and generic radio hits, DINAH WASHINGTON's "Blues For A Day" is a refreshing reminder of the power of real, honest music. So pour yourself a glass of whiskey, dim the lights, and let Washington's smoky, sultry voice transport you to another time and place. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
