Our Take

Kay Starr, the queen of the throaty lilt, blessed us mere mortals with her divine voice on "The Essential Recordings." This 2-disc compilation is a musical time machine, transporting us back to the golden age of jazz and pop.

From her chart-topping hits to lesser-known gems, this album is a treasure trove of Starr's vocal prowess. Tracks like "Wheel of Fortune" and "Bonaparte's Retreat" showcase her dynamic range and infectious energy.

Starr effortlessly switches between sultry crooning and powerful belting, leaving us in awe of her versatility. The jazzy brass and swinging rhythms provide the perfect backdrop for her soulful vocals, creating an immersive listening experience.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on this album. Some tracks feel a bit dated, lacking the modern polish we've come to expect from contemporary music.

Overall, "The Essential Recordings" is a nostalgic journey through Starr's illustrious career, filled with toe-tapping tunes and heart-wrenching ballads. It's a must-have for any fan of vintage jazz and pop, or anyone looking to add a touch of old-school glamour to their music collection. Give it a spin and let Kay Starr's timeless charm sweep you off your feet.
