Julie London - Julie Is Her Name (1955)

Artist: Julie London

Album: Julie Is Her Name

Genre: Vocal Jazz, traditional pop

Released: 1955 [1958]

***

For a time, Julie London was as famous for her sexy album covers as for her singing. Her debut is her best, a set of fairly basic interpretations of standards in which she is accompanied tastefully by guitarist Barney Kessel and bassist Ray Leatherwood. "Cry Me a River" from this album, was her biggest hit, and her breathy versions of such numbers as "I Should Care," "Say It Isn't So," "Easy Street," and "Gone with the Wind" are quite haunting.
