Blazing Ballads

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Showcasing her commanding, blues-drenched approach to the Great American Songbook, 'Blazing Ballads' finds Dinah Washington operating at the peak of her emotional intensity. Her pristine diction and slightly acerbic phrasing bring a remarkably mature depth to romantic standards. The album is an essential milestone in her reign as the 'Queen of the Blues' navigating sophisticated pop structures.
