Our Take

Hailed as the "British king of jazz" and the "Godfather of British rock and roll," George Melly delivers a quirky and spirited performance on his latest album, "George Melly Sings Fats Waller." A unique blend of jazz, blues, and rockabilly, Melly brings his own eccentric twist to the classic tunes of Fats Waller. From the moment the album kicks off with the lively opener "Ain't Misbehavin'," it's clear that Melly is here to have a good time. His gravelly voice and playful delivery bring a sense of mischief and charm to each track, making it impossible not to tap your feet along. Tracks like "Honeysuckle Rose" and "Your Feet's Too Big" showcase Melly's ability to inject humor and personality into every note he sings. His raspy vocals may not be technically perfect, but they're full of character and charm, adding an element of fun and spontaneity to the music. While some purists may scoff at Melly's unconventional take on these classic songs, there's no denying the sheer joy and energy he brings to each performance. "George Melly Sings Fats Waller" is a joyous romp through the music of a jazz legend, with Melly's own irreverent twist that is sure to put a smile on your face. So go ahead, pour yourself a drink, sit back, and let George Melly take you on a wild ride through the world of Fats Waller.
