Music reviews of Alone Again, Naturally
Music Review: The finest cover ever period
Rating: 5 Stars
Unlike many contemporary music fans, I value cover versions. And there are many many cover versions of great quality. I am reviewing this CD for a single reason--the greatest single cover in all contemporary music. This is not an understatement. Alone Again, Naturally may be one of the bathetic songs of the rock and roll era--but Esther Philips transforms it. Her rhythm is simply perfect--she hits the beat with an emotional intensity that literally brings tears to my eyes. The song itself wallows in self pity, but Esther refuses to submit--she is almost glorious in her pain. The playing is wonderful, and the drum part may be the strongest in soul music--which is quite a statement i realize but true.
While the CD is worth buying for this single track, the entire CD is a triumph and amazing. A forgotten classic--quite frankly, nobody in American music--not even Billie Holiday--transformed her pain into art as well as Esther Philips.

Description of Alone Again, Naturally
Recorded in late 1972, Alone Again Naturally was the follow-up to Esther Phillips' Grammy nominated From A Whisper To A Scream. Producer Creed Taylor assembled a stellar cast of musicians including George Benson, Maceo Parker, Eric Gale, Bernard Purdie, Ron Carter, Richard Tee and Billy Cobham. A great choice of repertoire and superb arrangements from Pee Wee Ellis and Don Sebesky melded perfectly with Esther's smoky vocals to produce one of the finest albums of her career. Both critics and NARAS voters took note, the latter awarding Ms. Phillips a second Grammy nomination for this Kudu classic. First time on CD, digitally remastered.Blues CDs
