Grandma What Great Songs You Sang!

Brenda Lee

A fourteen-year-old vocal prodigy tearing through jazz standards with a raspy, rockabilly growl. Brass-heavy, high-energy, and surprisingly gritty for 1959.

August 3, 1959 · Decca

Find on Amazon

A high-octane celebration of the past delivered with a precocious, raspy soul.

Moments Worth Listening For
The startling contrast between her diminutive frame and the massive, gravelly belt on track 4.
The frantic, rhythmic delivery on Ballin' the Jack that feels more like rock and roll than jazz.
The way her voice cracks with intentional soulfulness during the brass swells of Side by Side.
