“Sultry” was the word for Julie London (1926-2000), describing both her sensual presence and her intimate, breathy voice; one of the most distinctive, evocative – and ubiquitous – sounds of the 50s. Retrospective’s tribute offers the cream from the first 15 of her remarkable series of Liberty LPs, beginning with the whole of her debut album Cry Me A River. Julie’s laidback delivery of romantic songs is sensitively enhanced by Barney Kessel’s guitar artistry and the deft foundation of Ray Leatherwood’s bass – together they worked the worked the sort of magic that makes an album immortal. Throughout all the selections for this double-CD survey the same qualities shine through: the musicianly phrasing, the true intonation and the direct, natural style. The choice of material is invariably top-drawer, and includes five memorable original songs by husband and producer Bobby Troup. Julie London was a unique phenomenon. For so many who lived through the late 50s she remains an iconic image of enticing womanhood, with a smoky voice that could persuade any man to “Cry Me A River”. Here are 62 exquisite reminders.
