Joanie Sommers, Bob Lind

Got some fab CDs lately.
1. Joanie Sommers - Come Alive! - The Complete Columbia Recordings
Joanie is my fave jazz crooner and this has been the missing album that never came out on CD - til now!!! Joanie fans rejoice. Plus there are an album's worth of bonus tracks too!
And her version of Call Me!

2. Bob Lind - Finding You Again
I haven't bought a singer-songwriter album in years - Had to get Bob's forst studio album in 41 years. Arrived today - love it! _ I emailed Bob to tell him I loved it and he emailed me right back! :-D
Big lush chords, raggedy romantic balladeer with very rich evocative lyrics. The album ends with one of the saddest songs I've heard in ages - beautiful. made me think of my chum Robbie's passing and how the world still moves on - kind of... (a bit like forget about you)
