Music reviews of Julie Is Her Name Vol 1 & 2
Music Review: A defining voice of 50's music, still appreciated today...
Rating: 5 Stars
Julie London's first and third albums (I think) re-issued here on CD. This one's getting hard to find, so buy it quick. She was sexy, sophisticated, intimate and artistic. Now they call this type of thing "lounge music." Back when it was fresh, in 1955 and 1958, some called it jazz, some called it "pop" and some called it "mood music." I think the last phrase is the most accurate. Julie's warm vocals and the excellent but unobtrusive accompaniment of guitar and bass are great for background sound, but equally great for a headphone experience of deliberate listening. If your heart is broken, half the songs in the collection will feed your need for pity briefly, then begin to heal you. If you are new-fallen into love, the other half of the tunes give you hope and sunshine. While her Capitol collection, "Wild, Cool and Swingin'" is also good, that one lacks "Cry Me a River" her first hit and forever signature song. This one kicks off the disc with it. My personal other favorites include "It Never Entered My Mind" and "No Mood at All" from the debut album, "Julie is Her Name." From the 1958 record, "Julie is Her Name Vol. 2" I like especially "Blue Moon" and "The One I Love Belongs to Somebody Else" and "I Got Lost in His Arms." However, all 25 are enjoyable. None are overly long, there is no novelty filler here either. This collection is just under an hour of excellently crafted love songs rendered by an excellently crafted singer, inside and out. Can't go wrong buying it.This sounded good 45 years ago, and will be worth playing 45 years from now, if you can find a machine then to reproduce it. Well-written songs, seemingly sung by a woman who wants to fill your head with her body and soul, while guitar and bass keep both of you in the mood---who can ask for anything more?
Description of Julie Is Her Name Vol 1 & 2
Part of the 'Super Bit Jazz Classics' series. Japanese 24-bit remastered limited edition reissue of 1992 compilation packaged in a miniature LP sleeve.Although she's now in her senior citizen years, listen to Julie London's stunning 1955 debut, and you'll still think she's one of the hottest creatures on two legs. "The girl with the come hither voice" is how the original liner notes described it, and London's sultry vocals simply oozed it. With the first track--which became her first single--London's legend was etched in stone. "Cry Me a River" became one of the greatest torch songs of all-time, and while it's been reinterpreted over the last 40 years by everyone from Streisand to Joe Cocker, the song forever belongs to London. The other standards here--from the likes of Irving Berlin, Kern & Hammerstein, and the Gershwins--are nothing to slouch at, and one listen to her version of "I'm in the Mood for Love," and you just may be, too. She's semi-famous for being the ex-Mrs. Jack (Dragnet) Webb and, later, Mrs. Bobby ("Route 66") Troup--but genuinely forever famous for this LP. Female lounge singers have been trying to sound just like her ever since. --Bill Holdship
