Title: The Great Dakota Staton at her Peak
Product review: I originally owned this incredible album by singer Dakota Staton on vinyl -- and wore it out. One day a few weeks ago I remembered one of the songs on it and thought it was on a re-issued CD I own. But it wasn't. On researching I found it on Madame FooFoo, which brought back a flood of good memories. To my delight it was re-issued on CD and I immediately bought it. As always, had an excellent Amazon purchase experience. The album really cooks with some fabulously fast scat runs by Dakota. No one else sounds like her -- and this CD captures her at her peak. For the uninitiated jazz vocal lover -- get Dakota into your collection. This is a wonderful album to start with. And there's a real bonus here -- If you love Hammond B3, keyboards are by the incomparably funky Richard "Groove" Holmes. Highlights -- A House is Not a Home, Let Me Off Uptown, Let It Be Me.
