LaVERN BAKER
PRECIOUS MEMORIES / LA VERN SINGS BESSIE SMITH |  |
Description:
LaVern Baker was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991. She sang with the Todd Rhodes Orchestra and extensively toured Europe before becoming one of the most popular female R&B singers in the early rock era. On the two albums collected here, you'll hear the gospel and blues sides of this versatile vocalist: she tackles with all her verve traditional hymns such as "Precious Memories" and "Just A Closer Walk With Thee", and then lets loose on Bessie Smith classics such as "Gimme a Pigfoot", "Empty Bed Blues" and more. Twenty four tracks in all. |
