Natural Woman/Is That All There Is - Peggy Lee

Advantages: A few really good song; Great singing; Amazing piano solos
Disadvantages: Some boring songs; A lot of intrumental songs

...This was the first album I'd bought by Peggy Lee, after hearing a few of her songs from the internet, and I was quite impressed. It may just be my taste, but in my opinion quite a lot of the songs are dull, and I almost always skip the instrumentals. Peggy Lee is brilliant, as usual, and George Shearing is enough to make you want to take up Piano. The album's best songs have to be - 2: I Lost My Sugar In Salt Lake City 7: Blue Prelude 8. You Came A Long Way From St Louis 9: Always True To You In My Fashion 11: Get Out Of Town (has an AMAZING piano solo) 13: Nobody's Heart Some of the songs take a while to get into, but you probably won't regret buying this album....

As the album opened with the track “Save me” I held my breath this was heart stopping stuff, as I checked the sleeve notes I saw not only was she a voice to die for but she co-wrote all the tracks, all with her producers Greg Penny and Ben...

...mellow late night song with smoky vocals that really sets the tone of the album. My interpretation of this song is someone waiting for their lover Seven Years I love the imagery of this song. On the first listen it is a song about the beauty and innocence of childhood “Spinning . laughing, dancing to her favourite song” I particularly love the line “Fragile as a leaf in Autumn There is a sadder side to this song as the little girl is all alone Cold Cold Heart This song is sultry with a great bass line which sort of reminds me of the one from Peggy Lee’s Fever. It is about a guy who can not trust his current lover due to the infidelity of a previous woman and the current girlfriend’s plea to melt his cold cold heart. The vocal has a country feel to it especially with the subject of the song. Feeling The same way This song... Read review
