Comments

with original Philips inner sleeve.

Inside The Groove

Powerful-swingin' female vocal album.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

Sue Raney, probably being most famous for her Capitol LP “Songs For A Raney Day”, recorded so many other LPs of course. This is one of them, recorded in the 1960s.

Unlike her other albums (most of them has sweet and mellow moods), the backing-up orchestra is so strong and swingy. Her singing on this LP is innevitable. Very charming and also very jazzy.

Strictly Personal Rating (to what extent I could enjoy this album)

8 out of 10
