Our Take

Prepare your crumpets and sip on some tea, because we're about to dive into the delightful world of Nancy Wilson's early years. The soulful songstress takes us on a journey from 1956 to 1962, showcasing her incredible vocal range and undeniable charm.

From the opening track, Wilson's voice instantly captivates, drawing us in with its warmth and richness. Her interpretation of classics like "The Nearness of You" and "All of You" are nothing short of enchanting, as she weaves her way through each note with finesse and style.

But it's not just Wilson's vocals that shine on this album - the arrangements are top-notch, perfectly complementing her silky smooth delivery. The lush orchestration on tracks like "In Other Words" and "I Wish You Love" adds an extra layer of sophistication to an already impressive collection.

Even though this compilation covers a span of six years, there is a cohesiveness to the album that makes it feel like a seamless journey through Wilson's early career. Each track flows effortlessly into the next, creating a listening experience that is both nostalgic and fresh.

Overall, Nancy Wilson's The Early Years 1956-1962 is a must-listen for any fan of jazz and soul music. It's a reminder of why Wilson is considered one of the greats, and a testament to her enduring talent. So put on your smoking jacket, grab a glass of whisky, and let Nancy Wilson whisk you away to a bygone era of music magic. Cheers, darlings.
