new Diana Krall album - Glad Rag Doll
« on: September 26, 2012, 11:23:44 AM »
New Diana Krall album out (Glad Rag Doll), and on vinyl first too. But ... before you go and buy it you can listen to it in its entirety here:

It may not be everyone's cup of tea. She reworks a bunch of really old 20's-30's songs. However, some of you may find it worthwhile just because of the cover photo (Elvis Costello - you are not worthy).

Laugh and the world laughs with you. Cry and you'll have to blow your nose.

Got my copy today. Nice pressing, quiet vinyl excellent SQ but Bob is right, the music may not be for everybody.  A departure from her previous recordings that you will either like or dismiss as boring.

I enjoyed it, but it is certainly not typical Diana Krall music. YMMV
Remember, it's all about the music........
