"The album I called "Lonelyville" in my earlier post was released as "Born to be Blue." It had been referred to as "Lonelyville" before its release and somehow that stuck in my memory. This is one of the best pop-jazz vocal albums ever recorded by any artist. It is a miracle it has reappeared again after more than 40 years on C.D. I never imagined we'd see that. It was a masterpiece then and is a masterpiece now. When you hear Anne Phillips sing "I've Got To Pass Your House to Get To My House" your heart will break. Music like this performed like this is so rare. Do get this album while it can be gotten."

"I bought this wonderful LP by Anne Phillips around 1961 and immediately fell in love with it. I played it so much that it wore out and is quite scratchy today, but still playable. I own over 3,000 LP's and CD's and can't think of any that I have played more than this one. I've been looking for another copy for some time without success. You can't imagin my glee when I found out that it was re-released as a CD and immediately ordered it. I love music and listen to it almost constantly. And if I were marooned on an island and could have only one CD, this one could very well be it. The selection of songs, Phillips' voice and style and the instrumental accompaniement couldn't be more perfect. This is the ideal music when you are in a melencholy mood, for a romantic setting or just feeling lonely or blue. I can't thank Anne Phillips enough for all the pleasure her music has given me over the years."

"It's back and how I missed it. I, too owned this original 78 album way back when. I can't add anything more than the first review of this for I feel as if I wrote that one but I thank whoever is responsible for releasing this. Has incomparable "oldies"that should be re-released and why Capitol doesn't release all those Dakata Staton LP's are beyond me for each is a classic with a unique voice who put out major and numerous albums. The one I personally ould like to acquire in a CD (I have the cassette) is Laurel Masse titled Easy Living--this is so unmatched and the only sounds I know of you."
