Our Take

Lee Wiley's double album "West of the Moon / A Touch of the Blues" is a delightful blend of classic jazz and smooth blues, perfect for any musical connoisseur looking to jive their way through a rainy Sunday afternoon.

On the first disc, "West of the Moon," Wiley's velvety vocals take center stage, transporting listeners to a bygone era of sophisticated lounge tunes and candlelit romance. Tracks like "A Woman Alone With the Blues" and "Oh! Look at Me Now" showcase Wiley's effortless charm and timeless elegance.

But don't be fooled by the vintage vibes - Wiley's interpretation of these jazz standards feels fresh and modern, breathing new life into old favourites. The arrangements are lush and inviting, with a touch of whimsy that keeps things from veering into saccharine territory.

On the second disc, "A Touch of the Blues," Wiley dives headfirst into the world of soulful blues, proving she's just as adept at belting out heart-wrenching ballads as she is at crooning sweet serenades. Tracks like "Evil on Your Mind" and "Careless Love" will send shivers down your spine and make you reach for that extra glass of whisky.

Overall, "West of the Moon / A Touch of the Blues" is a captivating listen that strikes the perfect balance between nostalgia and innovation. Lee Wiley may be a forgotten gem of the jazz world, but this album proves she deserves a spot in your music collection. So pour yourself a cocktail, dim the lights, and let Lee Wiley sweep you off your feet with her enchanting melodies.
