Our Take
Our Take
In a time when music seems to lack the cheeky charm of yesteryear, Julia Lee's "King Size Papa - The Julia Lee Collection 1927-52" is a welcome blast from the past. Filled with sass, wit, and a whole lot of swing, this album is a time machine back to the golden age of jazz and blues.
Lee's distinctive vocals, reminiscent of a sultry nightclub singer from the 1940s, are the true star of the show here. Her playful delivery adds a sassy edge to tracks like "King Size Papa" and "Gotta Gimme Whatcha Got", making them impossible not to tap your toes to.
The collection features a mix of original songs and covers, all of which showcase Lee's incredible range and versatility as a performer. From the upbeat tempo of "Dream Lucky Blues" to the slow, smoky groove of "After Hours", Lee effortlessly transitions between genres with ease.
The instrumentation on the album is also top-notch, with the backing band providing a solid foundation for Lee to shine. The jazzy horns, swinging piano, and smooth bass lines all come together to create a sound that is both timeless and fresh.
Overall, "King Size Papa" is a must-listen for anyone looking to inject a bit of old-school cool into their music collection. Julia Lee may have been a trailblazer in her time, but her music still holds up today. So grab a cocktail, kick back, and let Julia Lee transport you to a bygone era of music magic. Cheers, darling.
