Torchy Lullabies My Mother Sang Me (1956) Lizzie Miles CD

"This item is part of the Cook archives.  The original liner notes from the LP are included."

Even at 60, the accolades kept rolling in for Lizzie Miles: "Powerhouse singing plus some intense torching" (St. Petersburg Times), "Unlimited zest and vocal resource" (Billboard), "Can lift a commonplace tune to inspired heights" (High Fidelity). The Creole Songbird hadn't lost the "shimmy" she made in a career she had entered when she was six years old. Classic sounds of New Orleans blues.
