Irene Reid- The Queen Of The Party (CD)
From her days singing with the Count Basie band as a replacement for Joe Williams, to her Indian summer of renewed popularity, Irene Reid always lived up to her moniker, the Queen of Uptown Blues. Like Dinah Washington & Esther Phillips, Irene had a church background and never lost that divine intensity or power to convey the emotions in a lyric. Her most notable post-Basie gig was playing the wicked witch on Broadway in "The Whiz." Here is a program featuring Irene, the Charles "Mighty Burner" Earland, Eric Alexander and the rest of the crew doing what Irene did best: The Uptown Blues.
Tracklist:
- Million Dollar Secret
- I'm Getting Tired
- If I Never Get to Heaven
- I'm Walkin'
- Aiming at Nothing
- Once There Lived a Fool
- Long John Blues
- One Eyed Man
- I Took the Backdoor Out 1
- I Ain't Doing Too Bad 1
- I'll Take You Back 1
- Big Fat Daddy
