Music reviews of Amtrak Blues
Music Review: Alberta: Life Begins at 83
Rating: 5 Stars
Like Billie Holiday, Alberta's blues voice packs tons of personality with impeccable timing. Unlike later Billie, who by that time had acquired a brilliantly world-wearied vocalise from years of male mistreatment, Alberta revels in joy. The band doesn't sound pre-processed and they give way more than the standard-bearer of jazz and blues. In fact, it's close to a double act from pianist Gerald Cook. He smokes! The juicy horns signal special attention too. But she earns top billing on this show and what a show! With her apt selection of covers coupled with self-written tunes, she creates an excellent blurring of that line that separates fantasy from reality. Though she expounds on lessons of hard experience, she still gets around to "The Darktown Strutters' Ball". Most amazingly, she makes her homebound identity felt where even a one-day pass needn't be seeked. Its apogee is reached on the suggestive "My Man Is Such A Handy Man". Double-entendre has never been used to greater effect anywhere. Endlessly songful and flagging nowhere, she's way wiser than her years and she knows it. Singing at eighty-three at this high caliber entitles her to some bragging rights.
