Billie Holiday - Lady Sings The Blues (Ltd. Red Vinyl Record)

Lady Sings the Blues brings together songs closely associated with Billie Holiday’s voice and musical identity. Released in 1956, the album places her expressive phrasing within small-group jazz settings, where a slight delay or change in emphasis can reshape the emotional meaning of a line.

The title song, Strange Fruit and God Bless the Child sit alongside standards such as Love Me or Leave Me and I Thought About You. Holiday’s approach gives the varied material a consistent intimacy, with the accompaniment supporting her interpretation rather than competing with it.

This red vinyl LP contains twelve tracks across two sides. It presents the album’s mix of signature songs and standards in the running order listed below.
