Album Review

This two-fer from Flare UK features a pair of out-of-print LPs by vocalist Dinah Shore: Bouquet of Blues and Sings the Blues, both originally issued on Bluebird in the early '50s. These 24 tracks find the singer at the top of her vocal excellence interpreting blues standards including "Born to Be Blue," "I'm Through With Love," "I Got It Bad and That Ain't Good," "St Louis Blues," and her first million seller "Blues in the Night."
