"The folks at Collectibles Music were wise enough to release these two Lou Rawls albums from 1965 on CD. "Nobody But Lou" had a small combo and a collection of great jazz/blues standards, while "Lou Rawls and Strings" employed a just-right combination of strings, brass, and voices, along with another great collection of standards. Benny Carter's superb arranging and conducting on both albums is a huge plus. Lou Rawls' early Capitol albums were a superb barometer of the success that would come his way just a short time later."
