Barbara Blue has been the resident singer for ten years at Silky O'Sullivan's on the legendary Beale Street in Memphis, Tennessee, entertaining and enthralling those visitors fortunate enough to catch her show. This release comprises mainly original material, but also maintains the style and tradition of R&B standards, featuring some fine musicianship, with great solos on tenor-sax, harp and piano adding some dynamic performances. Barbara was once invited to perform at a Janis Joplin memorial celebration, and the parallels drawn in vocal power and performance, particularly on the ballads, are entirely warranted. This is a truly unique album of the best of her recordings to date. Shout. 2007.
