Dette er vildt audiophilt, det er smaddergod musik, det er 200g jomfru vinyl. Jeg har dem kun på CD det bliver de ikke bedre af – men jeg ved ikke om jeg turde udsætte pu’en for Little Boy Blue.
Kan du ikke udholde Tom Waits, så er Temptation et must, manden skriver fabelagtig god musik og tekst.
Dette er Holly’s 2 bedste!
This is a flat-out killer record! Highly recommended. Cole is fabulous, period. She explores a number of styles on this, her second album. Adding pop, blues, country and a French ballad to her standard, low-key jazz, Cole demonstrates that not only does she have impeccable taste, but she has the talent to make all of the material sound convincing. On "Get Out Of Town," pianist Aaron Davis gets up while playing and places one of his hands over the piano string while continuing to play with the other. This damped-string effect is an extremely interesting counterpoint to Cole's idiosyncratic, sexy style. This is an all-time audiophile favorite, now cut from the original master on Bernie Grundman's all-tube cutting system and pressed on 200-gram virgin vinyl.
Over the past decade, new talents such as Cassandra Wilson, Patricia Barber, and Holly Cole have redefined the world of female jazz vocals. Cole's Temptation, a 1995 Blue Note release, is her musical tribute to the writings of Tom Waits. Besides being a superb audiophile recording (perfect in every production detail, from the rendering of Cole's amazing voice to the incredibly natural sound captured by producer Craig Street's team), this album has garnered kudos for her interpretation of Waits? unique compositions. Standouts include a catchy version of Jersey Girl, which made it onto a number of radio playlists, and a rendition of The Briar and the Rose, brilliantly augmented by the Canadian Brass. Also included are Take Me Home, Train Song, Temptation, Falling Down, Invitation to the Blues, Frank's Theme, Little Boy Blue, I Don't Wanna Grow Up, Tango 'til They're Sore, The Heart of Saturday Night, Soldier's Things, I Want You and Good Old World.
