Ballad Of The Blues
Jo Stafford
It is with great pleasure that we present the re-release of Ballad Of The Blues. This legendary recording consists of the perfect blending of album concept, singer, songs, songwriters, musicians, arranger and early stereo recording techniques. The freshly remastered session tapes are accompanied by a new 30-minute interview with Jo Stafford in which she speaks with candor and humor about her life and recording career. It is a self effacing, but no less powerful, tribute to one of the great ladies of song whose career has spanned the decades of popular music and lived to tell her fascinating tale. Her insight and musicianship are easily apparent. This album is sure to serve as ample reminder that though there might have been a few who could sing as well as she did, clearly no one sang better! —Michael Feinstein
