CD Reviews

A good second choice for a Kitty Kallen fan

Beth | Mesa, AZ United States | 05/04/2003

(4 out of 5 stars)

"The most essential cd available is The Kitty Kallen Story. This would a good choice to get only if you're after the first cd. The Kitty Kallen Story not only spotlights some of her Jimmy Dorsey material but includes Little Things Mean a Lot, one of her best songs. Getting a cd without that song is like missing the scope that is Kitty.
This cd focuses on her 1939 and 1944 material. For the first time her work with Jack Teagarden is released. Frankly I wasn't too impressed by it. She sounds like an ordinary singer. Maybe it's Teagarden? Perhaps he was best without a vocalist. This can't be completely judged until someone releases a cd of Dolores O'Neill, the first singer he worked with. But then this was in 1939, maybe it was Kitty, perhaps she hadn't matured yet? Because in 1944, when she worked with Harry James, Kitty sounded completely different. A singer with a distinctive sweet voice of her own. There are swinging band numbers here like 11:60 P.M., sure some don't make sense but what do you expect out of 40's swing? There are also the slow songs for which Kitty was made for like Waiting for the Train to Come in."
