Our Take

Dinah Washington's cheeky charm and powerful vocals shine bright on "Wake the Town & Tell the People! Hits and Hot Shots 1957-1962." This collection of tunes from the late 50s and early 60s is a delightful journey through Washington's impressive career. From the sassy opener "What a Diff'rence a Day Makes" to the soulful ballad "Unforgettable," Washington proves why she was known as the Queen of the Blues. Her dynamic range and emotive delivery make each track a standout, leaving listeners wanting more. Tracks like "Mad About the Boy" and "September in the Rain" showcase Washington's ability to convey raw emotion through her music, drawing listeners in with every note. The lively tempo of "Teach Me Tonight" and the swinging beat of "A Rockin' Good Way" will have you tapping your feet and singing along in no time. Overall, "Wake the Town & Tell the People!" is a must-have for any music lover looking to add some classic soul and jazz to their collection. Dinah Washington's timeless vocals and infectious energy make this album a standout addition to her already impressive discography. So go ahead, crank up the volume, and let Washington's music transport you to a bygone era of love, loss, and longing.
