Blue and Moody

Description

An arresting, singular chanteuse, Lula Reed beat out 50 other contestants in an audition for Sonny Thompsons band at the Toledo Auditorium. Following her victory, 22-year old Reed trekked down to Cincinnati with future husband Thompson to record for Sid Nathans King Records. These sessions yielded two Billboard Top Ten R&B singles, Lets Call It a Day (#7) and Ill Drown in My Tears (#5). These songs plus ten more smokin sides are collected on Blue and Moody (1958), Reeds one and only solo album. Long out of print, this LP has become a holy grail for blues and R&B enthusiasts, who routinely pay princely sums for the few copies in circulation. Once again, its Sundazed to the rescue! Painstakingly mastered from the original analogue session tapes and pressed at R.T.I.
