Music reviews of His Mother Called Him Bill
Music Review: a bad release of a great album
Rating: 1 Stars
I first heard this album on an audio cassette I borrowed from the library more than ten years ago, and it's been my favorite Ellington/Strayhorn music since.
Unfortunately this release of ...and His Mother Called Him Bill is terrible. The first CD I received could not be played past Track 8, and the replacement Amazon sent me had errors from Track 13 until the end. Neither disc has any visible damage.
I recommend ...and His Mother Called Him Bill if you like Ellington, but find another version.

Description of His Mother Called Him Bill
Full title, And His Mother Called Him Bill. Remastered reissue of 1967 album. Packaged in a digipak reproduction of the original artwork. 19 tracks including 7 bonus 'Acht O'Clock Rock', 'Raincheck', 'Smada', 'Smada', 'Midriff', 'My Little Brown Book' & 'Lotus Blossom'.This 1967 tribute to Duke's right-hand man and "Take the 'A' Train" composer Billy Strayhorn is one of the Ellington band's truest late-period masterpieces. Blowing out the back doors with their tears, the group rumbles through the likes of "Blood Count" and "Day-dream," with their leader also contributing an immensely touching solo-piano version of "Lotus Blossom." --Rickey Wright
