VINYL PASSION

Jazz

Original Album + 4 Bonus Tracks On 180g Vinyl LP, 180g. ‘St. Louis Blues’ is a 1958 album and soundtrack to the film of the same name starring Nat King Cole. The film is about and features classic blues songs written by the "father of the blues" W.C. Handy. Beautiful orchestration by Nelson Riddle and excellent interpretations by that wonderful unique smooth voice from Nat King Cole who knew how to sing the blues. Handy took the blues from a regional music style (Delta blues) with a limited audience to a new level of popularity. Handy’s finest compositions includes "Memphis Blues", "Yellow Dog Blues", "Beale Street Blues," "Careless Love" and of course the title song "St. Louis Blues".

Sings For Two In Love & Ballads Of The Day

VINYL PASSION

Jazz

Nat King Cole Sings For Two In Love was Cole's first album made specifically for the new 12" LP format. Like Frank Sinatra, with whom he shared a record company (Capitol) and a conductor (Nelson Riddle), Cole made a thematic album with Sings For Two In Love, in this case a set of 12 romantic ballads. It's another album that examples the lengthy musical partnership between the singer Nat 'King' Cole and his most frequent musical facilitator Nelson Riddle. Ballads Of The Day could have been called something like Nat King Cole's Greatest Hits 1953-1955, since it is actually a compilation assembled from recent single releases. All tracks on this 2-LP are original remastered recordings.

'Love Is The Thing' is a 1957 album released by American jazz vocalist Nat King Cole. It is the first of four collaborations between Cole and influential arranger Gordon Jenkins. Here we have ballads about the melancholy side of love, although any sadness is undercut by the optimistic tone in Cole's voice. 'The Very Thought of You' is tender and gentle. Highlights include "Stardust", "But Beautiful", "This Is All I Ask", and "The More I See You."
